BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Genetic variants involved in vitamin D metabolism have been associated with diabetes and related syndromes/diseases. We wanted to investigate possible associations of polymorphisms in genes involved in vitamin D metabolism with indices of insulin resistance and insulin secretion, and also with development of diabetes after gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).MATERIALS AND METH
As climate models can be used to reproduce historical climates, the outcomes can be used to put climate extremes in to a proper historical perspective. This also allows investigation of nonlinear properties of hydrologic processes (e.g. precipitation, runoff) to better understand regional hydrologic dynamics. To this end, the present study uses results from a so-called 'paleosimulation' (i.e. simu
Background: Women's fears and attitudes to childbirth may influence the maternity care they receive and the outcomes of birth. This study aimed to develop profiles of women according to their attitudes regarding birth and their levels of childbirth related fear.

Background: Dairy proteins, in particular the whey fraction, exert insulinogenic properties and facilitate glycemic regulation through a mechanism involving elevation of certain plasma amino acids, and stimulation of incretins. Human milk is rich in whey protein and has not been investigated in this respect. Method: Nine healthy volunteers were served test meals consisting of human milk, bovine mi
Det föreligger ett samhälleligt behov av en effektiv brottsbekämpning till skydd för samhällsmedborgarna. Effektiv brottsbekämpning upprätthålls genom de brottsbekämpande myndigheterna som har diverse möjligheter att bedriva verksamheten på. En av möjligheterna är användningen av hemliga tvångsmedel. Hemliga tvångsmedel är åtgärder som innebär att en misstänkt person övervakas eller avlyssnas, utaThere is a societal need for effective law enforcement to protect citizens. Effective law enforcement is maintained through the law enforcement authorities, which have various opportunities to conduct business. One of the possibilities is the use of secret coercive measures. Secret coercive measures are measures that involve a suspect being monitored or intercepted without consent. However, it is
This thesis consists of an introduction and four self-contained chapters that address issues of how organizations and institutions should be designed in order to provide adequate incentives and enable coordination. The first essay uses a multi-task principal-agent model to examine two reasons why coordination problems are common when public sector organizations share responsibilities: the incenti
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) are mature CD5(+) B-cell malignancies with different biological/clinical characteristics. We recently reported an association between different prognostic subgroups of CLL (i.e., IGHV mutated and unmutated) and genomic methylation pattern. However, the relationship between DNA methylation and prognostic markers, such as the prolifer
De faktiska köpavtal som sluts inom näringslivet uppvisar idag en tydlig tendens till väsentlig avvikelse från den dispositiva köprätten avseende skadeståndsansvar för indirekta skador. Ur ekonomisk aspekt är friskrivning från denna sorts skadeståndsansvar klart motiverad, då det ger näringsidkare en tydligare överblick av de risker som är förknippade med avtalen de ingår.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bestrålning av allmänheten från radioaktivt cesium efter Tjernobylolyckan. Fältstudier i ett högkontaminerat område i Bryanskregionen i Ryssland. Olyckan i kärnkraftverket i Tjernobyl i Ukraina 1986 orsakade att stora delar av Europa kontaminerades med radioaktiva ämnen, varav 137Cs är det som fortfarande finns kvar pga sin långa halveringstid (30.2 år). BryanskområdetFrom 1990 to 1998, estimations of the effective dose from external as well as internal irradiation from 137Cs and 134Cs were carried out for inhabitants in rural villages in the Bryansk region, Russia, highly contaminated due to the Chernobyl accident in 1986. The villages were situated about 180 km from the Chernobyl power plant and the deposition of 137Cs was in the range 0.9-2.7 MBq m-2. Yearly

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling i tysk språkvetenskap behandlar en särskild typ av meningar i dagens tyska: påståendesatser med det finita verbet i början. Denna typ har hittills knappast uppmärksammats av forskningen; en av anledningarna till detta är att den oftast förekommer i talat språk. Den vanliga ordföljdsregeln i tyskan är att verbet står på andra plats i huvudsatsen, på sisThe aim of this thesis is to describe and explain independent declarative clauses in German which have the finite verb in absolute clause-initial position. They are called verb-first declarative clauses. It is shown that this type of clause can be found in a variety of Germanic languages. There is evidence suggesting that this is a very old type with roots in ancient Indo-European. It has thus ex
Popular Abstract in Swedish Påverkan av faktor V Leiden-mutationen på risk för utveckling av neovaskulära komplikationer efter centralvenstrombos studerades. Hos patienter med mutationen var risken nästan tre gånger högre att utveckla neovaskulära komplikationer än hos patienter utan mutationen. Synnervssvullnad , som nyligen har presenterats som en indikator på god prognos vid centralvenstrombosThe influence of the factor V Leiden mutation on the development of neovascular complications in central retinal vein occlusion was studied. The presence of the mutation was found to enhance the risk of developing neovascular complications almost threefold compared to in patients without the mutation.

The timing of the ice margin retreat of the Late Glacial Patagonian Ice Sheet (PIS) in southern Patagonia has been the object of discussion for many years. In order to resolve questions about the complex response of the PIS to past climate change, any geological interpretation and data modelling need evaluation against an absolute chronology. The aim of this project is to investigate the applicabi
