Previous studies have suggested that depression increases the risk for diabetes and that this may be mediated through insulin resistance. The study aimed to analyze if self-rated symptoms of depression are related to insulin resistance among middle-aged and older Swedish women with features of the metabolic syndrome and being at risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus. We analyzed data from 1047 Swedish
A search for the decay of a light Higgs boson (120-140 GeV) to a pair of weakly interacting, long-lived particles in 1.94 fb(-1) of proton-proton collisions at root s = 7 TeV recorded in 2011 by the ATLAS detector is presented. The search strategy requires that both long-lived particles decay inside the muon spectrometer. No excess of events is observed above the expected background and limits on
Purpose: We have developed a statistical prediction model for prostate cancer based on four kallikrein markers in blood: total, free, and intact prostate-specific antigen ( PSA), and kallikrein-related peptidase 2 ( hK2). Although this model accurately predicts the result of biopsy in unscreened men, its properties for men with a history of PSA screening have not been fully characterized. Experime
Abstract Conclusion: Risk factors associated with increased carriage rates are the same in children with recurrent acute otitis media (rAOM) as in healthy children. These are also known to be risk factors for the development of AOM itself. Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe risk factors for nasopharyngeal carriage in a cohort of young children at high risk of developing rAOM. Method
The first appearance datum (FAD) of the cosmopolitan agnostoid trilobite Lotagnostus americanus is a widely used marker for defining the base of the uppermost stage of the Cambrian System. Detailed field study on the L. americanus-bearing interval of the Wa'ergang section, Hunan, China, reveals the FAD of L. americanus to be 29.65m above the base of the Shengjiawan Formation. This horizon is close
A search for neutral Higgs bosons of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM) is reported. The analysis is based on a sample of proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The data were recorded in 2011 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb(-1) to 4.8 fb(-1). Higgs boson decays into oppositely-ch
Popular Abstract in Swedish FN:s konferens om miljö och utveckling i Rio 1992 blev startpunkten för det lokala Agenda 21 arbetet och många svenska kommuner påbörjade lokala Agenda 21 processer under 1993. Avhandlingen syftar till att undersöka hur människor i fyra svenska kommuner upplever hållbar utveckling. Vad är viktigt för människor, och vem/vilka har ansvaret? Vidare analyseras individens käThe UN conference in Rio on Environment and Development in 1992 was the starting point for the local Agenda 21 work and several Swedish municipalities began their local Agenda 21 processes in 1993. This thesis aims at investigating how people perceive sustainable development in four Swedish municipalities. What is important and who is responsible? Individual influence and strategies for implementa
A new analysis procedure for fungicides has been developed gearing toward estimation of worker exposure in greenhouses. The procedure includes sampling on leaves, glass, and polymers using vinclozolin and triadimefon as model substances and starts with solvation of the fungicides with ethanol from the surface. It proceeds by collection of the solution on disks of cloth, disk extraction with excess
En betydande andel av Sveriges företag utgörs idag av fåmansföretag, vilka spelar en avgörande roll för den svenska samhällsekonomin. Det är av stort värde att skapa goda förutsättningar för ägarskiften i befintliga fåmansföretag som möjliggör att upparbetade värden i företag med tillväxtpotential tillvaratas. Fåmansföretag omfattas idag av ett särskilt fördelningssystem, de s.k. 3:12 – reglerna. A significant proportion of Sweden's business currently consists of small companies with few employees, but these companies play a critical role in the Swedish economy. It is crucial to create good conditions for the transfer of ownership within existing private businesses and safeguard growth potential. These close companies are subject to a special regulation, the so called 3:12- rules. The
Ett av de senaste tillskotten på det amerikanska Civil Rights-området står att finna i den federala anti-diskrimineringslagstiftningen beträffande rättigheter för personer med funktionshinder, the Americans with Disabilities Act (1990). Denna lag förbjuder diskriminering av personer med funktionshinder och innehåller bestämmelser om tillgänglighet för dessa personer på områdena arbete (title I), o
Islamiska Staten har de senaste fem åren orsakat oerhört mycket smärta och sorg. Krigsförbrytelser, brott mot mänskligheten och folkmord ska ha begåtts i de områden rörelsen kontrollerat i Irak och Syrien. Nu när kalifatets sista fästen besegrats står det internationella samfundet inför en ny utmaning; hur och var ska de ansvariga individerna straffas? Vissa politiker har numera hävdat att en IS-tDuring the past five years, the Islamic State has been responsible for a large amount of pain and suffering. War crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide have been committed in the areas the group controlled in Iraq and Syria. Now as the Kalifate’s last strongholds have been defeated, the international community stands before a new task; how and where shall the individuals responsible be punis
A search for new interactions and resonances produced in LHC proton-proton (pp) collisions at a centre-of-mass energy root s = 7 TeV was performed with the ATLAS detector. Using a dataset with an integrated luminosity of 36 pb(-1), dijet mass and angular distributions were measured up to dijet masses of similar to 3.5 TeV and were found to be in good agreement with Standard Model predictions. This
Uppsatsen presenterar de två vanligaste fallen av konkurrerande kollektivavtal. I avsaknad av lag har fråga om konkurrerande kollektivavtal främst reglerats genom rättspraxis. Uppsatsen presenterar hur gränsdragningsavtal tillsammans med prejudicerande domar till viss del har skapat en förutsägbarhet inom rättsområdet konkurrerande kollektivavtal. Det uppstår frekvent frågor om konkurrerande kolleThe essay presents the two most common cases of competing collective agreements. In the absence of law, the legal field of competing collective agreements is primarily regulated through case law. The essay presents how boundary agreement together with precedents produced by the labour court, to some extent has created a predictability in the legal field of competing collective agreement. There are
Food waste is a growing global problem. Even in Sweden, being one of the most sustainable countries in the world, the food waste levels are high. Understanding the role of local governance is crucial to tackle the problem of food waste. By using a simplified A-B-C (attitude-behaviour-conditions) framework, I explore Lund municipality prior to the general elections of 2018 and its governance system
I nuläget har vi levt med covid-19-pandemin och dess medföljande restriktioner, rekommendationer och budskap i över ett år. De konstant återupprepade budskapen kring ämnet har resulterat i att människor tröttnat på att följa restriktioner och uppmärksamma informationen, vilket WHO beskriver som pandemic fatigue. Samtidigt har denna trötthet, som kan leda till att människor väljer att ignorera elleAs of now, we have lived with the Covid-19 pandemic and its accompanying restrictions, recommendations and messages for over a year. The constantly repeated messages about the same topic has resulted in people tiring of following restrictions and paying attention, which is what the WHO describes as pandemic fatigue. Meanwhile, fatigue such as this, which could lead to people choosing to ignore or
The aim of the paper is to examine the Finnish economic transformation and the catch-up process from 1975 onwards. Moreover, this paper looks into the forces behind the rapid convergence. Finland, an example country, used to be a peripheral country that has only in the past decades transformed into an economy where innovation, technology and education have gained important roles. Given this ec
This thesis utilizes securitization theory in a comparative analysis of security discourses in both the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and Peoples Republic of China by looking at how actors in both states frame and respond to security issues relating to the respective frontier regions of Khyber- pakhtun and Xinjiang The purpose of which has been to produce a paper addressing the complexities that ar
Studiens fokus är på skogsbränderna i Sverige år 2018, då tio gånger mer markyta påverkades av bränder än genomsnittet under föregående år. Syftet med studien är att undersöka en bred forskningsfråga: har vägar en påverkan på storleken hos den brända ytan i en löpeld? Studien bygger på tidigare forskning om hur spridningen av löpeld påverkas av vägar. Bland olika statistiska metoder valdes slutligThis study focuses on the Swedish wildfire season of 2018, when the country incurred ten times more than the average burnt area that occurred in previous years. The study aims to address a broad research question: Do roads influence the size of the burned area? This study fills the gap in research on the effects of roads in the spatial patterns of wildfires. Moreover, the research hopes to include
