Popular Abstract in Swedish Förekomsten av välfärdssjukdomar såsom diabetes och hjärt-kärlsjukdomar ökar kraftigt och det finns därför ett stort behov av preventiva åtgärder. Ett förstadium till dessa allvarliga sjukdomar är insulinresistens syndromet (IRS), även känt som det metabola syndromet. IRS utgör ett kluster av flera metabola störningar såsom bukfetma, högt blodtryck, förhöjda blodfetter The prevalence of metabolic disorders, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and the insulin resistance syndrome (IRS) are increasing worldwide. However, disturbances in the metabolic status can be prevented by changing the daily diet towards more whole grains, vegetables, legumes and dairy products. Also the dietary glycaemic- and insulinaemic indices of foods may play a role. Rye prod

Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectra of a bush and numerous branches of Chinese Longjing tea were investigated remotely with lidar techniques. The intensity ratio between the far red fluorescence (FRF) and red fluorescence (RF) due to the chlorophyll content of the tea branches were analyzed to study the growth conditions in different villages around Hangzhou, China. Dried Longjing tea leaves

The purpose of this paper is threefold; to present a framework for assessing reporting of case study based research, to evaluate recently published case study based research within the area of logistics and supply chain management and finally to identify and suggest areas for improvement in the reporting of case study based research within the same field. The paper is based on an initial review of

The decoding problem is a fundamental problem in computational complexity theory. In particular, the efficiency of which the problem can be decided has implications on the security of cryptosystems based on hard problems in coding theory. Stern's algorithm has long been the best algorithm available, with slight modifications over the years yielding only small speed-ups. This paper describes an imp

This paper attempts to address the failings of a predominant paradigm in IS research and practice that emphasises technological determinism. This paradigm makes use of a false belief in the power of rationality in organizational decision-making, and a mythology in which organizational actors can be viewed as passive ‘users’ of technology. We wish to create a discussion of the nature and role of pr

The optical design for the proposed Euro50 extremely large telescopewith integrated adaptive optics (AO) is presented. For atmosphericturbulence correction, we propose using single and dual-conjugate AOsystems working with natural and laser guide stars. The corrective shapeof the deformable mirrors (DMs) is derived from an analytical algorithmbased on minimization of the sum of the residual power
