Achieving tight glycaemic control remains an unmet need for many patients with type 2 diabetes, despite improved treatments. In order to meet glycaemic targets, attempts have been made to improve existing drugs and to develop new classes of drugs. Recent advances include insulin analogues that more closely mimic physiologic insulin levels, and incretin-based therapies, which capitalise on the gluc
The Lundby study is a classic epidemiological investigation. The first field investigation took place in the parishes of Dalby and Bonderup in 1947. The Lundby population, consisting of 3563 probands, was investigated for the fourth time in 1997 -2000 by Per Nettelbladt and his research team. Previous investigations took place in 1947, 1957, and 1972. Several sources of information have been used,
År 2022 stod bygg- och fastighetssektorn för cirka 34 % av Sveriges totala energianvändning, där uppvärmning utgjorde den största andelen. Mot bakgrund av nationella och internationella klimatmål finns ett behov av att minska energianvändningen inom denna sektor. Detta examensarbete syftar till att undersöka hur boendebeteenden påverkar energianvändningen i ett flerbostadshus från 1960-talet, med
The concept of ‘eco-anxiety’ has increasingly gained traction both in media and academia, with climate activists hypothesised as prone to experiencing it. However, humour has for long been a crucial aspect of social movements, and it holds strong potential in adaptively coping with stressors. Therefore, this thesis aims to describe climate activists’ emotional experiences characterised as eco-anxi
This study aimed to examine and analyze how social workers perceive the new Social Service Act and its ambition to reduce individual needs evaluations. The new Social Service Act also includes increased access to receive social support without social workers’ decision-making. The study aims to generate an understanding of social workers' experiences regarding their professional practice relate
This study aimed to examine the relationship between social work students' personal negative life experiences and their motivations for choosing the profession, as well as whether these experiences are reflected in their choice of target group. The study employed a quantitative method and was conducted via a web-based survey distributed to social work students at several universities across Sw
Studien undersökte sambandet mellan upplevt grupptryck i arbetsrelaterade sammanhang och arbetstagande studenters benägenhet att uttrycka avvikande åsikter. En kvantitativ tvärsnittsdesign tillämpades med en online-enkät som empirisk datainsamlingsmetod. Urvalet bestod av arbetstagande universitetsstudenter i Sverige, och datainsamlingen genererade 116 svar. Resultatet indikerade en positiv signif
Most secondary school curriculums in the world don’t include semiconductor physics. The fact that it is not included is considered a mistake by many physicists and engineers, considering it is a massive part of modern technology. Amongst these technologies are transistors, LED:s, screens and solar cells. This thesis attempts to use solar cells to give an example of how semiconductor physics can be
Urocanate reductase (UrdA) is a bacterial enzyme that converts urocanic acid to imidazole propionate. Its catalytic residue Arg411 undergoes a large conformational change in the substrate-bound versus product-bound states. In contrast to previously studied cryo-conditions, the room-temperature X-ray data of UrdA presented here show that the occupancy distribution of Arg411 is affected by crystal c
This paper presents a joint model of multivariate longitudinal data and multistate data with application to modeling and predicting autoantibody development in The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young (TEDDY) study. The model quantifies the risks of state transitions based on observed time-varying and non-time-varying risk factors. Based on the estimated model, a dynamic prediction
Personal archives have long been side-lined in the field of archival studies. What studies exist often struggle to define what a personal archive is. The aim of this master’s thesis is to further the understanding of personal archives, by investigating what the term personal means in the archival context. By applying Weber’s ideal type method, and constructing an ideal type based on the special ch
Off-grid living offers an alternative path to sustainability, but its complex dynamics require deeper exploration. Utilizing the Three Spheres of Transformation theoretical framework, the study uses interviews to explore the motivations for, barriers to and necessary changes for off-grid living from the perspective of individuals. Findings from interviews with people living and aspiring to live of
