Mänskliga aktiviteter påverkar den biologiska mångfalden genom en mängd olika aktiviteter som ofta leder till att ekosystem utarmas. Detta leder i förlängningen till stora samhällsekonomiska förluster. Det nuvarande svenska rättsliga systemet för bevarande av biologisk mångfald fokuserar på att bevara och skydda arter som är hotade och specifika områden där dessa lever. Jag ifrågasätter utgångspun
The increasing traffic on both railways and roads increases the risk of accidental collision with bridges and buildings. One way to prevent disproportionate collapse of structures if an unforeseen accident occurs is to make the structure robust. A structure that is robust has the ability to withstand progressive collapse initiated by local failures. The aim of this Master thesis is to study the te

Diskussionen om personlig integritet och dess samband med bildupptagning är inte ny. Däremot har teknikens utveckling och nya snabba kommunikationsvägar via internet bidragit till att frågan är högaktuell och ett ökat skydd mot smygfotografering och filmning bIs the possibility for privacy long gone as a consequence of mobile cameras and easily attainable surveillance camera equipment?

The six reference levels (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2) have become widely accepted as the European standard for grading an individual's language proficiency. However, it has been pointed out that the
A high intake of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω-3 PUFAs), has been associated with reduced levels of blood pressure (BP). Their antihypertensive action may be due to the reduction of the ω-6/ω-3 ratio and the resulting competitive effect of ω-3 as compared to arachidonic acid (an ω-6 PUFA) as a substrate of cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes involved in the production of vasoactive mediators
Aims: To test whether the TCF7L2 gene was associated with gestational diabetes, whether the association between TCF7L2 and gestational diabetes was independent of HLA-DQB1*0602 and islet cell autoantibodies, as well as maternal age, number of pregnancies, family history of diabetes and the HLA-DQB1 genotypes, and to test whether the distribution of HLA-DQB1 alleles was affected by country of birth
The estimated degree of carotid stenosis is decisive for the selection of patients who would benefit from surgical treatment. Carotid thrombendarterectomy is recommended in patients with symptomatic > or = 80 procent internal carotid artery stenosis (ECST method). Many vascular centers now often rely entirely on duplex ultrasonography to select the patients for carotid surgery. The results of a re

Studies have almost exclusively relied on parental-reported symptoms or parental-reported diagnoses of asthma and wheeze. Our aim was to investigate if traffic exposure is associated with higher incidence of early onset asthma, using registry-based ou
