Att vägra värnplikt blev en viktig fråga för många unga män under 1960- 90-talet. Syftet med studien är att undersöka och analysera diskussionen och debatten om värnpliktsvägrarfrågan i Sverige under perioden 1965-91 för att blottlägga vilken typ av argument som kom i bruk. Eftersom antalet vägrare ökade under denna period uppstod även en intensiv diskussion om frågan i offentligheten. En viktig a

Purpose: Previous studies have shown that at a similar body mass index, Middle Eastern immigrants are more insulin resistant and at higher risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D) than native Europeans. Insulin resistance is strongly associated with disturbed fat metabolism and cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, fat metabolism is poorly investigated comparing Middle Eastern and European ethnicities. Met

This narrative review describes a new approach to navigation in a challenging landscape of clinical drug development in diabetes. Successful outcome studies in recent years have led to new indications and guidelines in type 2 diabetes, yet the number of clinical trials in diabetes is now declining. This is due to many environmental factors acting in concert, including the prioritisation of funding

Background: Short-term trials conducted in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) showed that reducing sedentary behaviour by performing regular short bouts of light-intensity physical activity enhances health. Moreover, support for reducing sedentary behaviour may be provided at a low cost via mobile health technology (mHealth). There are a wide range of mHealth solutions available including

Background: Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are frequently used to assess the effects of treatments in patients with wrist osteoarthritis (OA), but their psychometric properties have not been evaluated in this group of patients. Our aim was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS pain at rest, pain on motion without load, and pain on load), the Disabiliti

Mixing process is crucial for ignition and combustion in powder-fueled ramjets. The mixing performance depends mainly on the inlet layout. In this study, the effects of four popular inlet layouts were investigated and were found to significantly influence the particle distribution. In this study, the Savitzky-Golay approach was used to handle large amounts of data on particles to obtain clear peak

With the increasing demand for natural gas and depletion of many sweet gas fields, direct usage of sour gas, usually containing a large percentage of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), becomes a more economical choice in recent years. However, the laminar burning velocity (SL) of CH4+H2S flames have seldom been investigated due to the corrosivity and toxicity of H2S, and no available experimental data can be
