Popular Abstract in Swedish Typ 2 diabetes är en av världens vanligaste och snabbast ökande kroniska sjukdomar. Sjukdomen är smygande och ger ofta inledningsvis inte några särskilda symptom. Den kan därigenom förbli oupptäckt under många år. Typ 2 diabetes är dock en allvarlig sjukdom; överdödligheten i hjärt-kärlsjukdomar är fyra gånger högre hos patienter med typ 2 diabetes än hos dem som inte hTo examine cardiovascular risk factors, glycaemic control and survival in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treated in primary care, patients with T2DM and a randomised age-stratified sample of men and women aged ≥40 years living in the same community were surveyed 1992-1994. ß–Cell function and insulin resistance were estimated using the Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA). Vital stat

Popular Abstract in Swedish I atmosfären finns förutom olika gaser, såsom kväve, syre, vattenånga och en mängd gaser i låga koncentrationer, även partiklar. Dessa partiklar kallas aerosolpartiklar och de kan hålla sig svävande upp till flera veckor innan de deponeras till marken igen. Moln- och dimmdroppar bildas i atmosfären genom att vattenånga kondenserar på aerosolpartiklar. Detta kan ske då lIn this work, cloud and fog droplet formation was studied in three joint field experiments. The instrument, the droplet aerosol analyser (DAA), has also been further developed and verified as part of this work. The DAA is an instrument especially developed for studies of cloud and fog droplet formation and growth. It measures the ambient size of individual droplets and interstitial particles in a

Resonant tunneling through a single layer of self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) as well as tunneling through two layers of vertically aligned (stacked) dots is investigated. The difference between single and double layers of QDs can be viewed as going from a two-dimensional emitter to a zero-dimensional emitter. By fabricating small-area devices we are able to probe single stacks of quantum dots, r

Clonal structure and reproductive biology in the gynodioecious herb Glechoma hederacea L. Lamiaceae The frequencies of females, hermaphrodites and partially male-sterile (PMS) genets of Glechoma hederacea were estimated in natural populations in S Sweden. The frequency of females and PMS genets in natural populations varied from 0 to 100%. The temporal and spatial variation in stamen fertility in

The Gospels record that Jesus purported to forgive sins. What significance would such a claim have had for his contemporaries and what would the implications have been for his identity as a first-century popular prophet? Tobias Hägerland answers these questions and more as he investigates the forgiveness of sins in the mission of the historical Jesus. The Gospels are interpreted within the context

This thesis combines corpus-based, experimental and instrumental methods to investigate how professional speakers of English use prosody to signal important textual boundaries above the sentence level. In an initial study, prosodic features included in the transcriptions of the Spoken English Corpus, or readily derivable from these, are investigated. These include minor and major tone-unit length

Genetic and phenotypic variation in female response towards male mating attempts has been found in several laboratory studies, demonstrating sexually antagonistic co-evolution driven by mating costs on female fitness. Theoretical models suggest that the type and degree of genetic variation in female resistance could affect the evolutionary outcome of sexually antagonistic mating interactions, resu

We compute the Hausdorff and Minkowski dimension of subsets of the symbolic space Sigma(m) ={0, ... , m-1}(N) that are invariant under multiplication by integers. The results apply to the sets {x is an element of Sigma(m): for all k, x(k)x(2k) ... x(nk) = 0}, where n >= 3. We prove that for such sets, the Hausdorff and Minkowski dimensions typically differ.

The influence of exciton-vibrational coupling on the optical and transport properties of molecular aggregates is an old problem that gained renewed interest in recent years. On the experimental side, various nonlinear spectroscopic techniques gave insight into the dynamics of systems as complex as photosynthetic antennae. Striking evidence was gathered that in these protein-pigment complexes quant

Abstract/Results. The paper discusses the results of three different studies. A study of 717 ninth grade students in eight schools located in different socio-economic environments show that students have a low degree of trust in dispute settlement forms available at school. When involved in conflicts or degrading treatment at school they avoid turning to the school for help. Students give themselv

The history of Danish geographers during the Second World War is almost synonymous with that of Gudmund Hatt (1884–1960), the Professor of Human Geography at Copenhagen University. Hatt was a key figure in the development of Danish geography and assumed the role of a public intellectual, particularly through his geopolitical analyses as they unfolded in a staggering number of radio speeches, newsp
