Popular Abstract in Swedish Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning (Summary in Swedish) Syftet med de studier som ligger till grund för denna avhandling är att klarlägga den genetiska och metabola bakgrunden till typ 2 diabetes (åldersdiabetes) och dess komplikationer. Typ 2 diabetes ökar mycket snabbt i Sverige och i världen och många forskare talar om en världsomfattande diabetesepidemi. Detta är aAbstract The present study evaluated genetic and metabolic factors influencing the risk for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) with special reference to increased concentrations of free fatty acids (FFA) in 1174 Swedish diabetic and nondiabetic subjects. Common polymorphisms in the fatty acid binding protein 2 (FABP2), the B2-adrenergic receptor (B2-AR), the B3 -adrenergic receptor

Popular Abstract in Swedish Resultaten i denna avhandling visar att kvällsmåltider baserade på hela kärnor av korn (kokta kornkärnor, kornkärnbröd), har positiva effekter på blodsocker- och aptitregleringen vid den följande frukostmåltiden, jämfört med en kvällsmåltid av vitt bröd. Även ett sent kvällsmål med bruna bönor hade liknande effekter. Vidare visade resultaten att en kvällsmåltid med brunThe role of dietary fibre (DF) in disease prevention has been extensively investigated and prospective studies observed that increased DF intake decreased the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), reduced the risk of weight gain as well as the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Also a diet characterized by low glycaemic index (GI) has been shown to reduce the risk of T2D and CVD. More recently, eviden

This chapter introduces basic differences between Free/Open Source Enterprise Resources Planning systems (FOS-ERP) and Proprietary ERP (P-ERP), revisiting the previous work of Carvalho (2008). Taking into account that some years has passed and the economic downturn came, it updates key aspects of FOS-ERP under both vendor and adopter perspectives. Like its predecessor, this chapter contributes to

Popular Abstract in Swedish En undersökning av alternativen särreglering allmän reglering för beskattning av fåmansaktiebolag och dess delägare m.fl. En jämförelse sker med dansk rätt som i princip saknar särregler för fåmansaktiebolag eller motsvarande. Mot bakgrund av undersökningen analyseras behovet av särregler.The purpose of this dissertation is to examine whether special taxation rules for close companies and their owners are necessary, or that taxation in accordance with the general principles of income taxation will suffice. The principles of statutory interpretation of the Supreme Administrative Court and development trends in this area are described. These trends are then examined in relation to th

Popular Abstract in Swedish Tillväxtfaktorer kan förbättra cellöverlevnad och funktion i djurmodeller av Parkinson’s sjukdom. En av de vanligaste sjukdomarna i nervsystemet är Parkinson’s sjukdom. Den uppkommer genom att man gradvis förlorar en viss grupp av nervceller som använder signalsubstansen dopamin, vilket i sin tur leder till brist på dopamin i målområdet i hjärnan, striatum. Detta resulParkinson’s disease is characterized by progressive degeneration of the nigrostriatal dopamine system, which results in tremor, rigidity, akinesia and postural abnormalities. New therapeutic strategies are aimed at halting the neurodegenerative process or restoring the system by transplantation of fetal dopamine neurons. We have investigated the potential of the neurotrophic factors glial cell lin

The paper explores ideas as to what Bronze Age barrows could have symbolized in the society in which they functioned as living symbols. Four possible concepts are discussed: continuity, collective, context, and hierarchy. Source material is taken from five areas in Scania where there is adequate data from excavated barrows to test the ideas: southern Halland, the parish of Raus, the island of Ven,

Law should be the expression of the collective will, and the regulative sphere becomes therefore a highly consensual field supposed to reflect generally agreed norms and values. Although it is generally admitted that genetic and biotechnology developments can contribute to immense benefits within the health-care sector, the exponential globalisation trend and the rapid pace of scientific and techn
