Popular Abstract in Swedish Diabetes (Diabetes mellitus) eller sockersjuka som den också kallas, är en sjukdom som beror på att kroppens celler inte kan ta upp socker från blodet, vilket leder till hög blodsockerkoncentration. Socker utsöndras även i urinen vilket kroppen försöker kompensera för genom att också öka utsöndringen av vatten. Detta leder till att stora mängder urin bildas samt att manInsulin is a protein needed for the uptake of glucose from the circulating blood. In absence of sufficiently high insulin levels in the body or when the cells have a reduced sensitivity for insulin a disease state referred to as diabetes occurs. Treatment of diabetes generally requires daily injections of exogenous insulin. Many of the pharmaceutical formulations consist of insulin in a crystallin

Results from rate of heat release (RHR) experiments with lining materials are presented. A total of 13 materials including both cellulosic and synthetic materials were tested. In small scale RHR was measured using a modified Ohio State University (OSU) RHR apparatus. In intermediate/large scale RHR measurements were carried out in a room-corner configuration with the tested material mounted on the

This study examines elaborate prayer practices among peasant communities in late medieval Sweden. The work focuses on the perspectives of ideals and practices, namely the standards of prayer, devotional prayer, and prayer in times of need and prayer cultures.

Previous studies have indicated that the expansion of fire seals and fire stoppers will be dependent on the heat exposure. Standardized methods for classification includes exposure to a rapid heat exposure of the product that is tested, but this might not always be the worst case scenario for the product. In this paper a series of tests are presented in order to study how a graphite based intumesc

Øresund EcoMobility contributes to knowledge creation for sustainable transport and green logistics, city transport, and energy systems with a specific focus on the conditions and needs of the Øresund region. In this book, long distance goods transport and strategies for green corridors through the Øresund and Europe are studied, multi-criteria models for analysis in transport and infrastructural

The Hans Tausen drill site was requested to be on a local dome, as high as possible, with a simple flow pattern and with an undisturbed flow pattern even close to bedrock. The first mapping of the surface elevation was performed as part of a general mapping of the elevation and gravity over Greenland. Later, NASA performed a few overflights of the ice cap. Combining the passes, it was possible to

Alarm systems are used in many situations, and should be as efficient as possible. In this thesis optimal predictive alarm systems, event predictors, are presented for general linear time series models with external signals. This family of process models include e.g. AR, ARMA, ARMAX and Box-Jenkins-type models. An optimal alarm system is characterized by having the least number of false alarms, fo
