Participants with a BMI ≥30 kg/m2 and/or prior GDM were allocated to intervention
Ett avgörande av Högsta domstolen kan endast angripas genom extraordinära rättsmedel. När Högsta domstolen får in en ansökan om resning eller klagan över domvilla i ett mål avgjort av Högsta domstolen är det som utgångspunkt andra justitieråd i domstolen än de som avgjorde det aktuella målet som prövar huruvida grund finns för att bevilja en sådan ansökan eller klagan. Dessa justitieråd kan då ha A decision by the Supreme Court can only be challenged through extraordinary remedies. When the Supreme Court receives an application for relief due to a substantive defect or a complaint on the grounds of grave procedural errors the general rule is that other justices of the Supreme Court than those who decided the case in question review whether there are grounds for granting such an application
I den första sektionen av denna uppsats behandlas hur alkohol- och drogmissbruk inverkar på bedömningen av grund för uppsägning eller avsked. De lagbestämmelser som är aktuella i denna del finns framförallt i lagen om anställningsskydd, arbetsmiljölagstiftningen samt socialförsäkringsbalken. Sjukdom utgör som huvudregel inte saklig grund för uppsägning utan arbetsgivaren har en skyldighet att försThe first section of this essay addresses how alcohol or drug addiction affects whether the employer has the right to terminate the employment or dismiss the employee. Relevant regulations are mainly found in the Employment Protection Act, the Work Environment Act and the Social Insurance Code. The main rule is that the employment cannot be terminated due to a person’s sickness if the employer has
In northern Patagonia, macrolichens form species-rich and abundant epiphytic communities in southern beech forests. Five of the most abundant lichen species in the litter were selected in order to study mass loss rate and changes in mineral composition over time. The litter bag method was applied to the foliose lichens Pseudocyphellaria faveolata, Pseudocyphellaria flavicans, Nephroma antarcticum,
Artikel 6 i Europakonventionen för de mänskliga rättigheterna stadgar en rätt till en rättvis rättegång. Ett av de många drag som utmärker en rättvis rättegång är likställdhet mellan parterna. I denna uppsats undersöks innebörden av principen om parternas likställdhet och huruvida den svenska brottmålsprocessen tillgodoser de rättigheter som uppställs i Europa-konventionen. Principen om parternaAccording to article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights, everyone charged with a criminal offence is entitled to a fair hearing. One of the many features characteristic of a fair hearing is equality of arms between the parties. In this essay, the meaning of the principle of equality of arms is analysed. It is also investigated if the Swedish criminal procedure is in conformity with the p
The day-to-day variation in oxygen consumption ((V) over dot O-2) during ergometer cycling by 20 healthy adolescents, 10 females and 10 males, was measured using indirect calorimetry. The two sets of measurements were performed on two consecutive days. Great care was taken to minimize possible disturbing factors. Cycling started at 50 and 100 W for female and male adolescents, respectively. The lo
Here, we describe the preparation, structure, and properties of cryogel sponges, which represent a new type of macroporous biomaterial for tissue engineering. Cryogels were produced through freeze-thawing techniques, either from agarose alone or from agarose with grafted gelatin. The aim of this study was to evaluate agarose cryogel sponges as scaffolds for Culturing both isolated pancreatic islet
Lagen (2006:351) om genetisk integritet (LGI) reglerar försäkringsbolagens möjligheter att använda försäkringssökandes genetiska information i den individuella riskbedömningen. Enligt 2 kap. 1 § LGI har försäkringsbolagen inte rätt att använda försäkringssökandes genetiska information vid ingåendet av ett försäkringsavtal. Bestämmelsen infördes för att värna om försäkringssökandes genetiska integrThe law about Genetic Integrity (2006:351) (LGI) regulates the insurance companies’ right to use the insured party’s genetic information for individual risk assessment. According to Chapter 2 paragraph 1 LGI, the insurance companies are not allowed to use the insured party’s genetic information when entering an insurance contract. The paragraph was introduced for protection of the insured party’s
This bachelor thesis deals with the reporting around the demonstration in Gothenburg on September 30th 2017 arranged by Nordiska Motståndsrörelsen (NMR), a Nordic Neo-Nazi movement. After a cultural debate in Sweden regarding freedom of speech and the attendance of the internet based right-winged alternative media Fria Tider on Mässan Bok & Bibliotek, also known as Bokmässan, always arranged a
Understanding and being able to quantify sitting postures is a central asset in car safety evaluations. This is due to the fact that passengers can choose a range of different sitting positions. Studying and understanding how passengers choose to sit to obtain some comfort is important for increased safety in futures cars and is particularly challenging facing a heterogeneous population. Data is a

Studien ämnade att undersöka hur väl personlighet respektive könsidentifiering, var för sig respektive tillsammans, kan predicera ideologisk orientering. För att undersöka detta användes personlighetstestet HEXACO och könsidentifieringstestet BSRI. Syftet med uppsatsen var att öka väljarförståelsen. Studien utgick ifrån ett bekvämlighetsurval (N=272), med 171 kvinnor och 101 män. Samtliga var svenThis aim of this thesis was to examine how well personality and gender-identification, by themselves and combined, were able to predict ideological orientation. This through the personality test HEXACO and gender-identification test BSRI. The purpose of the study was to help improve the understanding of Swedish voters. The sample was a convenience sample (N=272), with 171 women and 101 men, all Sw
At present, in potato starch industries, not only starch is extracted from the process but even proteins and fibers are recovered as they are economically valuable. Unfortunately, the process used for protein recovery can only partially recover protein from the potato fruit juice (PJ), while the reaming PJ is concentrated using an evaporator and is later on used as fertilizers. Potato starch indus
Context: When using the Case Method in teaching situations, problem-solving is emphasized and taught, in order to acquire the skills and later be able to apply them in new situations. The basis of the learning process is the students’ own activity in the situation and is built on critical appraisal and discussion. Objectives: To explain what the Case Method is, what it is not and to describe when
In many materials it remains a challenge to reveal the nature of magnetic correlations, including antiferromagnetism and spin disorder. Revealing the spin structure in magnetic nanoparticles is further complicated by the large incoherent neutron scattering cross section from water adsorbed at the particle surfaces and by the broadening of diffraction peaks due to the finite crystallite size. Moreo
BACKGROUND: The current trend of upgrading undervalued agricultural by-products involves the recovery of natural antioxidants. The purpose of this study was to recover phenols from fresh olive mill wastewater (OMW) with their dispersion in 85 mL ethanol per 100 mL and to investigate the effect of processing parameters on the phenol content and antioxidant capacity of the extracts. Moreover, all th
The objective of the present experiments was to study mechanisms governing cerebrovascular responses during severe hypoglycemia, and in the posthypoglycemic recovery period. To that end, lightly anesthetized (70% N2O) and artificially ventilated rats were injected with insulin so as to abolish spontaneous EEG activity for 15 or 30 min ("coma"). In separate animals, recovery was induced by glucose
