MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs, which negatively regulate the expression of target genes. They have emerged as important modulators in beta cell compensation upon increased metabolic demand, failure of which leads to reduced insulin secretion and type 2 diabetes. To elucidate the function of miRNAs in beta cells, insulin-secreting cell lines, such as the rat insulinoma INS-1 832/13 and the hu

Högsta domstolen har i ett antal mål om avtalstolkning uttalat att ledning kan sökas i avtalets systematik och övriga villkor, något som kommit att kallas systematisk avtalstolkning.

In vehicles there are many issues involving the safety and performance. The safety issues are often regulated by governments, whereas the performance by the customer. One solution to both these issues is to take use of an all-wheel drive system, where a coupling engages and disengages driving axles when needed. Such a solution will, through added traction and stability, increase performance and sa

The project started with the question “why wouldn’t a disabled or old person want it to look nice at home?” Many assistive products on the market are designed in a way that doesn’t fit the interior trends, which is an issue for several reasons.

Ambulanssjukvård är en verksamhet som under de senaste decennierna successivt ombildats från att huvudsakligen transportera patienter till vårdinrättningar till att idag vara en viktig vårdgivande aktör i mobiliseringen av prehospital akutsjukvård. För att ambulanspersonal ska kunna uppfylla deras utökade arbetsuppgifter och bibehålla god patientsäkerhet i takt med ökade påfrestningar på hela ambuThe operations of emergency medical services have in the past few decades undergone a transformation from mainly transporting patients to health facilities to being a key care-giving contributor in the mobilization of prehospital care. In order for paramedics to fulfill their expanded set of tasks while maintaining good patient safety concurrently with increasing demands on the emergency medical s

This thesis sets the goal to contribute to the field of diaspora studies from media and communication studies perspective by focusing on the neglected migrant group of highly educated refugees and their media use.
