Popular Abstract in Swedish Typ 2 diabetes (åldersdiabetes eller sockersjuka) är en av de vanligaste folksjukdomarna, som ofta medför allvarliga komplikationer. Typ 2 diabetes utvecklas under en lång tid och uppträder ofta tillsammans med andra riskfaktorer för hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar, såsom fetma, förhöjt blodtryck och förhöjda blodfetter. Denna sjukdomsbild kallas det metabola syndromet. IndiviType 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome are highly prevalent disorders with severe complications such as cardiovascular disease. The aetiology of type 2 diabetes and the metabolic syndrome is not known, but the interaction between genetic factors and environmental triggers is important. The aim this thesis was to identify genetic factors that may increase susceptibility to these disorders by in

This is "an account of variable responses from Swedish municipalities in terms of both adaptation and mitigation measures. By looking at the relationships between national and municipal policies, Langlais examines the adaptation barriers and acknowledges the role of 'visionary individuals' in some municipalities for initiating local actions unders similar institutional and governance conditions. H

The completion of sequencing of human and other mammalian genomes opens a new era for drug development. New approaches have been proposed for tackling diseases such as development of small molecule therapies based on understanding of human genome and proteome, new proteinous based therapies, where the therapeutic protein can inhibit or modify a certain metabolic pathway or DNA-based therapies deli

För att vara patenterbar, måste varje uppfinning uppvisa ”utility” (användbarhet), som det kallas i USA, eller ”industrial application” (industriell tillämpbarhet), som det heter i Europa. Utöver ”nyhet”, ”uppfinningshöjd”, och kravet på en ”tillräcklig beskrivning av uppfinningen” i patentansökan utgör denna förutsättning både i USA och i Europa ett av de fyra grundläggande patenterbarhetskriteri

The Swedish Mongol Mission (SMM) was an ecumenical union active mostly among Mongols in Outer and Inner Mongolia between 1897 and 1945. SMM were to establish five stations at the borders of the Gobi Desert from 1908 to 1944. The stations were Hallong Osso, Goltjaggan, Dojen, Hatt in Sum, situated in Inner Mongolia and Urga (in present Ulan Bator) situated in Outer Mongolia. In 1950 the activities

Constitutive models regarding the behavior of metallic materials during forming processes are formulated and implemented. Mechanisms such as phase transformation, large deformations, plastic dissipation in form of heat and viscoplastic behavior in the material is adressed.

This LUii report presents empirical results from studies on consumption and over-indebtedness in Swedish young adults in a digital context. The studies have been conducted through in-depth interviews with municipal financial counsellors as well as a quantitative survey with approximately 1,100 respondents in a sample representative of Swedes from 18 to 25 years old. The report includes an extensiv

Recently substantial research has been devoted to Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). One of a UAV's most demanding subsystem is vision. The vision subsystem must dynamically combine different algorithms as the UAVs goal and surrounding change. To fully utilize the available hardware, a run time system must be able to vary the quality and the size of regions the algorithms are applied to, as the numb

In a single theoretical framework, real and virtual photon interactions are modeled for gamma-p and gamma-gamma collisions. The description covers aspects from the production of jets to total cross sections, where special emphasis is put on the range of uncertainty in the modeling of a resolved photon component. Our approach extends on a model for photoproduction, where the total cross section is

This paper aims to support the decision-making tasks regarding the integration of packaging development into product development. Based on the study of the interactions of the product and packaging during the whole product life cycle, a set of packaging-related factors was extracted and mapped to a general product development model, which at a strategic level can be used to define an integrated pr
