Our research work has three main lines 1. To study the heterogeneity of childhood diabetes (focus on the link between type 1 & type 2 diabetes) with the overall aims to increase the knowledge of the pathogenesis behind the disease (dissect the heterogeneisis) and improving classification towards individualized medicine. 2. We focus on the risk to develop celiac disease after the onset of diabete

Under de senaste årtiondena har oxidativ stress implicerats i utvecklingen av både sjukdomar och kroppens åldrande. Därför investeras en allt större del av den medicinska forskningens tid och pengar inom detta område för att utveckla behandlingar mot dessa. Begreppet oxidativ stress innebär att det uppstår en obalans mellan kroppens oxidanter och antioxidanter, vilket i slutändan kan leda till att

Vi studerar järnvägen ur ett antal olika perspektiv, med fokus på att höja dess kapacitet och punktlighet. Gruppens utgångspunkt är att klimatförändringar vår generations stora utmaning, och transportsektorn står för ungefär en tredjedel av utsläppen. Järnvägen är ett grönt och kapacitetsstarkt transportmedel som har stor potential att bidra positivt i omställningen till ett fossilfritt och energiWe study the railway from several different perspectives, with a focus on increasing its capacity and punctuality. The group's starting point is that climate change is our generation's major challenge, and the transport sector accounts for approximately one third of emissions. The railway is a green and high-capacity means of transport that has great potential to make a positive contribution to th

In spite of our good intentions and explicit egalitarian convictions, we habitually disfavor the underprivileged. The rapidly growing literature on implicit bias – unconscious, automatic tendencies to associate negative traits with members of particular social groups – points towards explanations of this dissonance, although rarely towards generalizable solutions. In a recent paper, Jennifer Saul

This thesis investigates the stock return and its variance around seasoned equity offering announcements for Swedish companies listed on the OMX Large cap, Mid cap and Small cap exchanges. The analysis is made on a full sample containing 52 SEOs, as well as two sub-samples containing underwritten and non-underwritten SEOs. The framework for the event study is OLS regressions based on the CAPM-mode

This thesis examines how investor nationality influences market reactions in Seasoned Equity Offerings (SEOs). Using a sample of 146 SEOs from 106 unique firms between 2005 and 2024, we analyze whether foreign investor versus domestic investor participation systematically affects market reactions. Foreign-backed SEOs are initially found to generate less negative abnormal returns than domestic offe

Purpose: It has recently been shown that the flap pedicle does not supply blood to a tarsoconjunctival graft in the modified Hughes procedure in patients. This raises questions concerning the rate of revascularization of the free skin graft commonly used to reconstruct the anterior lamella. The aim of this study was, thus, to monitor the course of revascularization in free skin grafts overlying moPurpose: It has recently been shown that the flap pedicle does not supply blood to a tarsoconjunctival graft in the modified Hughes procedure in patients.

Gas in Scattering Media Absorption Spectroscopy (GASMAS) is a near-infrared (IR) optical spectroscopy technique showing great potential in the continuous, non-invasive monitoring of the lungs. While the feasibility of GASMAS has been proven in neonatal lung studies, applying the technique to older children and adults is challenging. The increased tissue thickness strongly attenuates the signal, ne

This explorative study investigates the emergence of gray zone markets from search engines amidst the global expansion of online markets. With the analytical approach of infrastructural inversion, we examine how the search infrastructure constructs access to a gray zone market including both authorized online pharmacies and unauthorized vendors. Using Sweden and Google Search as a case, we explore

The development of gluten-free pasta with functional characteristics is an important strategic area for the food industry. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of the polyphenols present in blue maize flour (BMF) on the antioxidant properties and starch digestibility of composite gluten-free pasta. Composite pasta was prepared with 25, 50, or 75% BMF in a laboratory-scale proc

In a laboratory study we investigated 1) the potential production of nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) and 2) the effect of nitrate (NO3−) and anaerobic N2O development on CH4 production in sediment from a recently recreated free surface water wetland (FSWW) and in soil from an adjacent meadow. We designed an experiment where production of greenhouse gases was registered
