Popular Abstract in Swedish Typ 2 diabetes, eller icke insulinberoende diabetes, ibland också kallad åldersdiabetes, är en sjukdom vars förekomst ökar runt om i världen. Orsakerna till att typ 2 diabetes utvecklas är fortfarande inte helt klarlagda. Vissa faktorer är dock kända för att ge ökad risk att utveckla diabetes, till exempel diabetes hos en nära släkting, övervikt, bukfetma och låg fysiskThis thesis presents a three-year prospective study on metabolic characteristics of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and the regulation of insulin sensitivity versus islet function in relation to changes in glucose tolerance. 108 non-diabetic women aged 57-58 years were randomly selected from a population of women born in 1935 with a high prevalence of IGT. At baseline and follow-up, glucose toler

Video Sharing Websites constitute a rather peculiar situation. On one hand, they are considered as part of what the Commission perceives as online sharing economy: users are eligible to derive income from monetizing their audiovisual content. On the other hand, their business model is reminiscent of what is described as “free -economy”: access to the audiovisual content is prima facie provided wit

BACKGROUND: Increasing life expectancy for people with an intellectual disability (ID) is resulting in more persons with cancer and a greater need for end-of-life (EoL) care. There is a need for knowledge of health care utilisation over the last year of life to plan for resources that support a high quality of care for cancer patients with ID. Therefore, the aims of the study were to compare (1) h

To investigate the consumption of alcohol among emergency room patients, we included 395 patients above 18 years old entering the emergency room during a period of ten days. The patients completed a questionnaire about alcohol consumption, smoking habits and medication. In our investigation 56% of the men and 25% of the women had a daily consumption above the limits recommended by the Ministry of

In urban property development projects, attention to the needs and aspirations of local communities is often neglected. Although some developers still consider local community stakeholders to be a potential threat to their developments, in many developed countries, stakeholder participation is embedded within statutory processes such as the formal planning process and is increasingly regarded as a

To study the influence of acidosis on free radical formation and lipid peroxidation in brain tissues, homogenates fortified with ferrous ions and, in some experiments, with ascorbic acid were equilibrated with 5–15% O2 at pH values of 7.0, 6.5, 6.0, and 5.0, with subsequent measurements of thiobarbituric acid-reactive (TBAR) material, as well as of water- and lipid-soluble antioxidants (glutathion

PURPOSE: The early loss of a parent is a tragedy and a serious life event. This study investigated grief resolution and morbidity in cancer-bereaved teenagers 6 to 9 years after the loss of a parent to cancer. METHODS: In a nationwide population-based study of 622 of 851 (73 %) youths who as teenagers 6 to 9 years earlier had lost a parent to cancer, we explored the magnitude of unresolved grief a

This chapter summarizes my doctoral thesis about Universal Design (UD) in Sweden, contributing knowledge about the understanding, implementation, and co-creation of UD. The implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in Sweden made UD a guiding principle, necessitating research about the practical side of UD. Using qualitative research methods, interviews and gro

This paper describes the research stimulated by a fundamental shift that is occurring in the manufacture and marketing of aero engines for commercial and defence purposes, away from the selling of products to the provision of services. This research was undertaken in an aerospace company, which designs and manufactures aero engines and also offers contracts, under which it remains responsible for

Background: Treatment with antihypertensives in patients with advanced cancer is often continued until very late in the disease trajectory, despite a considerable risk of hypotension. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the time of deprescribing of antihypertensive agents in patients with cancer receiving palliative care during their last year of life. The monitoring of blood pres

Recent years has seen a growth of so-called ”Al-Qaeda franchises”, terrorist groups who formally ally with Al-Qaeda. This study investigates the phenomenon through how one such actor, the “Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat” (GSPC), has developed after its alliance with Al-Qaeda in 2006 and rebranding as ”Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb” (AQIM). By analyzing GSPC before and after the alliance

Income Tax-deduction for commuting expenses has been criticised and discussed for a long time without having reached any conclusions or reformations. Critical opinions in the debate are that a reformation would disfavour taxpayers living in the countryside with no options except car commuting and decreasing size of labour market regions. At the same time tax evasion is a huge problem because taxpa
