he health gains from risk reduction with regard to chemical health hazards have so far been most evident in the occupational setting. Development with regard to analytical and epidemiological methods, and possibilities to measure discrete effects, do however indicate health effects also at low levels of exposure, relevant for the general environment. Efficient risk reduction in the general, and ev

Indications for and the results of carotid endarterectomy in symptomatic and asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis are reviewed. The main indication for carotid endarterectomy is symptomatic stenosis of a carotid artery with >70 percent lumen reduction according to the NASCET method, or >85 percent lumen reduction according to the ECST method. The operation should ideally be performed within two we

We have recently shown that low plasma levels of mid-regional atrial natriuretic peptide (MR-ANP) predict development of diabetes and glucose progression over time, independently of known risk factors for diabetes development. However, since MR-ANP levels might be influenced by unknown factors causing diabetes, we cannot rule out that such relationship might be confounded. Previous studies have sh

The modernisation of human civilisation demands sacrifices of other species for work, food, clothing, medical research, space exploration – and human self affirmation. To enable the asymmetrical relations, a hierarchical dualism between Man and Animal has been constructed and is maintained by a mechanism of continual differentiation. My aim in this article is to consider how literary fiction may t

The progression of diabetes is accompanied by increasing demand to the beta-cells to produce and secrete more insulin, requiring complex beta-cell adaptations. Functionally-active and ubiquitous non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have the capacity to take part in such adaptations as they have been shown to be key regulatory molecules in various biological processes. In the pancreatic islets, the function of

Coronary disease risk increases inversely with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level. The measurement of the biodistribution and clearance of HDL in vivo, however, has posed a technical challenge. This study presents an approach to the development of a lipoprotein MRI agent by linking gadolinium methanethiosulfonate (Gd[MTS-ADO3A]) to a selective cysteine mutation in position 55 of apo AI, the majo

This thesis is about the patient and the professionals' experiences of participation and recovery in forensic psychiatric care. The purpose of the study was to investigate patients' and professionals' experiences of participation and what is considered to contribute to recovery from severe psychiatric illness. The study is based on a qualitative method and the empirical material consis

Det huvudsakliga syftet med denna studie är att undersöka metal som kultur och livsstil. Stu-dien ger även en inblick i hur vanligt det är att lyssna på och spela metalmusik bland gymnasieelever på det estetiska programmet med musikinriktning. Studien baseras på både kvalitativa och kvantitativa studier. Elever från två gymnasieskolor svarade på en enkätundersökning och två lärare intervjuades. Re

This is the resulting rapport from a master thesis in the field of structural analysis, with a focus on earthquake engineering. In this project are pipe supports’ impacts on seismic design analysed. This is done by modelling a building, pipe supports and a pipe system in two different computer softwares. One of them is commonly used for design of pipes at nuclear plants, and the other has applic

A hot topic subject in a youth's everyday life and the overall society is the rising housing prices and raised rent. It is a reality that housing shortages and high housing costs are one of today's biggest youth problems. How come that housing becomes popular in just specific areas? What is the resident's outcome of that places suddenly get a higher attraction? Gentrification is a poli
