Management information Welcome back to a new semester and from Thursday, 1 September also to the office! Hopefully you have been able to relax and reload during the summer. When returning to the office, please bring back your screen, chair etc that you have been using at home during the summer. The deliveries of milk and fruit will start soon, and the shared kitchen duties will be starting form ne

This thesis examines the practice of haemodialysis and kidney transplantation, the two medical therapies available for persons with kidney failure, from a phenomenological perspective. A basic assumption made in the thesis is that contemporary biomedicine is deeply embedded in the cultural, historical, economic, and political circumstances provided by the particular local, national, and transnatio
Background Previous population-based studies suggest an increased risk of suicide in Parkinson’s disease (PD), but findings have been inconsistent and often limited by residual confounding. We examined the association between incident PD and suicide-related outcomes using extensive confounding control, including both suicidal attempts and suicide.Methods We conducted a nationwide matched cohort stBackground Previous population-based studies suggest an increased risk of suicide in Parkinson’s disease (PD), but findings have been inconsistent and often limited by residual confounding.

Största delen av det svenska vägnätet består idag av belagd väg. Med det i åtanke så krävs det därför att vägarna vid sin anläggning respektive när underhållsåtgärd sker blivit väl dimensionerade samt blivit korrekt utförda. Under en tid i Sverige har Trafikverket med sitt dokument TRVK väg numera TRVINFRA styrt hur de statliga vägarna skall dimensioneras med sina tre dimensioneringsklasser. I dir
Due to increased awareness of climate change and higher energy costs, well-insulated buildings have become more common. Furthermore, interest in the use of wood in building to produce more carbon dioxide-efficient buildings has increased. However, thicker thermal insulation in building envelopes increases the risk of high relative humidity levels and the risk of mold-related damage in wood frame b
The Silurian through earliest Devonian, between ca 444 and 412 million years ago, was characterized by significant changes in global climate and environment. At that time, plants and animals had begun to expand the colonization of previous relatively desolate terrestrial landscape. Macrofossils of land plants are very rare from this period because these early land plants lacked large and robust ti
Defective insulin secretion from the pancreatic B-cells is a central feature in type 2 diabetes (T2D). There is a strong hereditary component in type T2D, but the underlying pathophysiology remains largely unknown. This thesis uses a combination of gene network analysis and cell-physiological techniques to explore the genetic and cellular basis for impaired insulin secretion in T2D. We found that
Selenium is a micronutrient that is essential for many important life processes due to the action of the specific selenoproteins containing one or more of the 21st amino acid, selenocysteine. Twenty-five selenoprotein genes have been found in the human genome but the function of many of them is not yet known. Some of the characterised selenoproteins have, however, antioxidant properties. Selenium
Parasitic plants are found in nearly every major terrestrial ecosystem and can be divided into two groups, holoparasites (lacking chlorophyll) and hemiparasites (chlorophyllous). The host-parasite connection is either situated above (stem parasites) or below ground (root parasites). In this thesis I examine the host-parasite interactions, host range and selection, and population dynamics of four r
