Popular Abstract in Swedish Den första beskrivningen av diabetes mellitus gjordes redan 1500 före Kristus när en faraos läkare noterade att myror samlade sig omkring urin från vissa människor men inte andras. På 1700-talet beskrevs för första gången närvaron av större mängder socker i såväl blod som urin hos diabetiska patienter. På 1920-talet upptäcktes insulin i bukspottkörteln (pancreas) och saThe influence of trauma (acute pancreatitis) or total parenteral nutrition (TPN) on pancreatic islet hormone secretion in relation to islet expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was investigated. Acute pancreatitis resulted in an impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) which was found to be parallelled by a marked expression of iNOS and an exaggerated NO production in t

This article deals with Gunnar Rosendal within church politics in a European perspective. The term church politics is here used in a broad sense, referring to the church’s management of internal problems and conflicts as well as the political strategies of the church in its relation to state and society. In my study I focus on three fields that in various ways got church political consequences or This article deals with Gunnar Rosendal within church politics in a European perspective.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Enligt ordboken betyder störning något som är avvikande från det normala. I den ekologiska begreppsvärlden är det tvärtom en del av det normala. Störning är en förutsättning för att många kulturmarker med hög biodiversitet ska kunna skapas och bevaras. I denna avhandling undersöktes hur markstörning i form av plöjning och harvning i torra gräsmarker påverkar mångfalden Many ecosystems have historically been disturbed, either naturally or as part of a cultural management. Due to loss of species as a result of too little disturbance, disturbance must be considered as a potential tool for conservation and restoration in various ecosystems. In this thesis work, disturbance effects on a grassland system were studied. The studied grassland had traditionally been sever

Popular Abstract in Swedish POPULÄRVETENSKAPLIG SAMMANFATTNING PÅ SVENSKA Neuroblastom är en barntumör i nervsystemet som drabbar ungefär 14 barn i Sverige varje år. Neuroblastom uppstår under bildandet av det sympatiska nervsystemet, som är den del av nervsystemet som ansvarar för vår reaktion på fara och stress. Det sympatiska nervsystemet bildas under fosterutvecklingen och de första åren efteNeuroblastoma is a pediatric tumor derived from cells in the sympathetic nervous system. In an attempt to explain the heterogeneous clinical behavior of neuroblastoma tumors, neuroblastomas have been characterized with regard to their degree of sympathetic differentiation. Their expression of genes and proteins that regulate normal sympathetic development and cell cycle/cell death regulators was a
