Institutionen för informatik använder Microsoft Azure som moln-lösning för studenter på det systemvetenskapliga kandidatprogrammet. Det tillåter oss att ha fullständiga BYOD-lösningar i våra datorsalar, vilket lockar studenter till campus samtidigt som det sparar energi och pengar. Informatiks studierektor Björn Svensson intervjuades av Microsoft för en artikel i ”Din digitala skola”, där han berä

The study is published in Nature Communications. Type 2 diabetes is a growing global epidemic, with 6% of the world population suffering from the disease. However, the risk of developing type 2 diabetes can b
