Given current glucose value, amount and timing of insulin injections and food intake, is it possible to predict future blood glucose levels with a prediction error of ±20 mg/dL? In the current study an attempt is made to empirically model the glucose-insulin dynamic interplay and to provide model-based short-term predictors suitable for the purpose.

Att avlägsna en luftförorening från en bostad kan ske på olika sätt, dels genom ventilationen dels genom att vissa föroreningar avlägsnas genom någon typ av filtrering av luften. Filtrering av luften används t.ex. vid olika typer av allergiska problem för att avlägsna icke önskvärda partiklar, t.ex. pollen. Filtrering har också föreslagits som en möjlig metod att minska stråldosen i samband med ra

The United Nations (UN)-led global consultations on new development goals, which will replace the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), started in 2012. In comparison with the creation of the MDGs, the road towards the post-2015 goals is much more inclusive and participatory. The consultations are part of a longer trend, in which intergovernmental organizations seek to strengthen their legitimacy

Standard Swedish has a large amount of import words from Low German. These words were adopted by the urban population, approximately 5 % of the people, in the middle ages. According to the author very little was taken over by the speakers of the genuine rural dialects. Instead it is resonable to believe that the propagation of these import word took place as an aspect of the weakening of the rural

When production is outsourced consumers possibilities to inform themselves about production processes is reduced. Information instruments for consumers, e.g. labelling, are more difficult to apply when materials and chemicals used during production cannot be monitored easily. The globalisation of production and consumption is a challenge for consumers as regards quality of products. This paper us

The paper presents the two Swedish film workshops "Filmverkstan" and FilmCentrum" and discusses them as minor cinema practices. Besides sketching the history of the workshops, the paper presents an agenda for further research.

A study of Swedish post-war amateur and experimental film culture, and especially the gradual divide between amateurs and experimentalists.

Ethics is the study of the normative dimensions of human relations and experiences. This chapter discusses such questions in relation to basic values in modern society. The normative foundations for the analysis are the values of human dignity, autonomy, freedom, equality, and solidarity, as well as the responsibilities of society toward its citizens, including freedom, security, and justice. The

Mellan åren 1955 och 1957 utförde Märta Strömberg (sedermera professor i arkeologi) och Rolf Petré (som senare blev fil. lic. i arkeologi) arkeologiska undersökningar av Vätterydsgravfältet i norra Mellby socken (L1990:1893 / Norra Mellby 1:1) ...

A brief period of sublethal cerebral ischemia, followed by several days of recovery, renders the brain resistant to a subsequent lethal ischemic insult, a phenomenon termed ischemic preconditioning or tolerance. Ischemic tolerance was established in the rat two-vessel occlusion model of ischemia, induced by occlusion of both carotid arteries in combination with hypotension. Ischemic preconditionin
