Centrum för ekonomisk demografi består av ett trettiotal medarbetare inom ekonomisk historia, nationalekonomi, samhällsmedicin, social arbete och statistik som i sin forskning tar upp ekonomiska samhällsfrågor med koppling till demografi ur ett historiskt och internationellt perspektiv. 2006 beviljades centret ett av de 20 s.k. Linnéstöd som ingår i Vetenskapsrådets nya satsning på långsiktig finaThe Centre for Economic Demography consists of more than thirty collaborators in economic history, economics, social medicine, social work and statistics that in their research focus on socioeconomic issues from a historical and international demographic perspective. In 2006 the Centre was awarded one of the so-called Linnaeus grants that form part of the Swedish Research Council’s new emphasis on

Uroteliala cancer, cancer i urinblåsan, är indelad i två större typer, icke-muskelinvasiv och muskel-invasiv cancer, med skilda biologiska och kliniska egenskaper. Prognos och behandling är i huvudsak baserade på patologiska kriterier. Det faktum att endast 20-25% av höggradiga tumörer med lågt tumörstadium bekräftas efter patologisk eftergranskning, och att 30% av patienterna med intermediärt tumUrothelial cancer, bladder cancer, is divided in two major subtypes, non-muscle invasive and muscle-invasive, with very distinct biological and clinical properties. Prognosis and treatment are mainly based on pathological criteria. The fact that only 20-25% of high grade low stage tumors are confirmed by review pathology, and that 30% of patients with intermediate stage tumors are upstaged after r

Since the early 1980’s and up until today many organizations have realized the importance of paying more and more attention to the effective strategic planning of the information systems resources. There are several reasons for this that where recognized by Pyburn (1983), one was the high speed of technological progress both in regards to IT and Telecoms facilities. Another key factor, which is ve

I vår forskning fokuserar vi på sällsynta metabola och andra genetiska sjukdomar som påverkar centrala nervsystemet. Vi strävar efter att förbättra vården för patienter genom att fokusera våra forskningsprojekt på de kliniska aspekterna av dessa sällsynta sjukdomar.In our research we focus on rare metabolic and other genetic disorders that impact the central nervous system. We aim to improve the care for patients by focusing our research projects on the clinical aspects of these rare disorders.

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The molecular mechanisms of insulin release are only partially known. Among putative factors for coupling glucose metabolism to insulin secretion, anaplerosis has lately received strong support. The anaplerotic enzyme pyruvate carboxylase is highly expressed in beta cells, and anaplerosis influences insulin secretion in beta cells. By inhibiting pyruvate carboxylase in rat islets,

While culture “stresses social life as such: individuals in their relations to others” , this thesis paper deals with culture alongside notions of values, beliefs and national preference/interest. The cultural aspect will shed into light by a wider perspective – the influence it has among European Union´s social and political life. Within EU, the United Kingdom holds high gains and strong financia

Title: Green is the new normal: An exploratory study of how slow fashion companies encourage normalization of sustainability initiatives in the retail store Date of seminar: June 5th 2019 Course name: BUSN39 Degree Project in Global Marketing Authors: Jennifer Phan & Xinyi Yao Supervisor: Andrea Lucarelli Key words: social normalization, social and personal norms, communication strategies

The customary way to determine whether an adopted Supplemental Instruction (SI) program has been successful or not is by comparing course results for two groups, SI attendees and non-attendees. The division of SI attendees and non-attendees is generally done rather arbitrarily by prescribing a minimum number of SI sessions a student has to attend to be considered an SI attendee. Although the SI at

Growing concerns and sentiment about the negative environmental effects of the fashion industry pressure fashion companies to adopt eco-innovation and pursue more environmentally-sustainable product development. This study explores and examines the drivers of eco-innovation and environmentally-sustainable product development in small- to medium-sized fashion firms in Sweden and Denmark, with the p

The aim of this thesis is to critically investigate the discourses of gender present in the National Action Plan of Afghanistan (2015-2022), asking how the ‘problem of gender’ is conceptualised and problematised in the policy. This is done through Carol Bacchi’s theoretical and methodological ’What’s the problem represented to be?’ (WPR) – approach which aims to analyse policy through identifying

This study investigates the effect of unemployment on health and rank-dependent indices of income-related health inequality in Europe during the period 2006-2015, using data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe. I use a recently proposed general method of decomposition and a panel data approach with individual fixed effects, and find a significant negative relationship betwee

Objectives: To examine whether physical activity (PA) was associated with fatigue, and quantify the extent of potential mediation through depressive symptoms or physical function (PF) on the relationship between PA and fatigue in symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Method: This longitudinal study used data from the Multicenter Osteoarthritis Study (n = 484), comprising subjects aged ≥ 50 years.
