Popular Abstract in Swedish Insulinberoende diabetes mellitus (IDDM = Typ 1 diabetes), och kronisk sköldkörtelinflammation - autoimmun thyreoidit (AIT) anses idag vara orsakade av att de hormonproducerande cellerna angrips av kroppens eget immunsystem (sk. autoimmunitet). När sjukdomen ger sig till känna kliniskt finnes antikroppar (sk. autoantikroppar) riktade mot cellkomponenter i det hormonprodThe two most common autoimmune endocrine diseases in children are autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) and Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus (IDDM). Autoantibodies (ab) can be found several years before clinical diagnosis in both diseases. The aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence of thyroid ab in children with IDDM and in children with allergic diseases; to study islet ab and t

Popular Abstract in Swedish Forskningen som presenteras i denna avhandling fokuserar på tillverkning av små strukturella enheter (komponenter) samt tillämpning av ny teknologi för att adressera viktiga medicinska forskningsfrågeställningar. Framtagande av teknologi som använder sig av komponenter som är tusentals gånger mindre än bredden på ett hår är svårt men möjligt. Denna avhandling fokuserar This thesis focuses on the study of thin-film sensor technologies, novel microfabrication technologies, and thin-film technology in general. The work discusses electrochemical sensors and mechanical sensor technologies as well as fabrication strategies for them. Also included are mechano-chemical studies of the vancomycin DAla (Bacteria membrane analogue motif ) binding reaction in different chemica

Popular Abstract in Swedish I min avhandling har jag studerat marina sedimentkärnor från två kustområden i SE Sverige, dels från Gåsfjärden, strax söder om Västervik i Småland, och dels från kusten utanför Karlskrona i Blekinge. Med syftet att studera hur Östersjöns kustmiljö har förändrats sedan mitten av Holocen (~5000 år sedan). Resultaten visar att kustmiljön har påverkats av flera stressfaktoIn this thesis, I used two coastal sediment sequences from SE Sweden to study how Baltic Sea coastal environment has changed since the mid-Holocene. The results show the coastal environment has been influenced by multi-stressors, such as climate change, shoreline regression and anthropogenic activities. Using the sediment sequence from Karlskrona Bay, past coastal environment between 7300 and 350

Abstract in French Cette étude a été réalisée pour déterminer si les papillomatoses virales du col sont associées à l'utilisation des contraceptifs et aux antécédents de reproduction. Après avoir enregistré les antécédents de contraception et de reproduction de 972 femmes ayant demandé des conseils en matière de contraception, des examens ont été conduits pour dépister toute infection de papillomaThe study was conducted to investigate whether cervical human papillomavirus infections (CHPI) are associated with contraceptive use and reproductive history. The contraceptive and reproductive histories in 972 women seeking contraceptive advice were noted and screening conducted for human papillomavirus infection. The interview included number of pregnancies and childbirths, legal and spontaneous

Abstract in Norwegian Målet med denne studien var å utforske hvordan en kunne fortolke ekstatisk spiritualitet i et religionspsykologisk perspektiv, illustrert ved Toronto-vekkelsen. Studien er en kvalitativ studie basert på intervjuer, feltobservasjoner og skrevne dokumenter. Det teoretiske rammeverket er interdisiplinært ved at det er brukt teorier fra egopsykologi, sosialpsykologi, sosiologi, kThe purpose of this dissertation was to study how to interpret ecstatic spirituality, illustrated by the Toronto Blessing, from a religio-psycho¬logical point of view. The study is a qualitative research based on inter¬views, field observations and written documents. The theo¬retical framework is interdisciplinary, using theories from ego-psychology, social psychology, sociology, cultural anthropo

Several psychiatric disorders may be characterized by peripheral telomere shortening. However, it is unclear whether telomere shortening is associated with these psychiatric disorders per se or, rather, with underlying dimensional parameters that are often, but not necessarily, associated with them. We explored the association between dimensional psychopathological measures and telomere length (TL

The Earth System Science Partnership, which unites all major global change research programmes, declared in 2001 an urgent need to develop "strategies for Earth System management". Yet what such strategies might be, how they could be developed, and how effective, efficient and equitable such strategies would be, remains unspecified. It is apparent that the institutions, organizations and mechanism

Experiences of cancer diagnosis are changing in light of both the increasingly technological-clinical diagnostic processes and the socio-political context in which interpersonal relations take place. This has raised questions about how we might understand patient–doctor relationship marked by asymmetries of knowledge and social capital, but that emphasise patients’ empowered choices and individual

Women are at increased risk of complications after Cesarean section (CS) postpartum and in subsequent pregnancy and delivery. The overall aim of the thesis was to evaluate complications after CS, outline options for their management and to assess strategies to increase the rate of vaginal deliveries after CS (VBAC).Paper I was a prospective study where women were offered to have an additional appo

The European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) have collaborated to produce these post-resuscitation care guidelines for adults, which are based on the 2020 International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Science with Treatment Recommendations. The topics covered include the post-cardiac arrest syndrome, diagnosis of cause of cardiac a

Many of today’s software systems are created by leveraging ecosystems consisting of heterogeneous “complementors” and “hub” firms. In fact, the reliance on ecosystems is prevalent in the enterprise resource planning (ERP) domain, where larger ERP vendors form collaborative relationships with smaller industry-specific vendors to co-create value for themselves and their customers. However, value cre

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by a differentiation block leading to accumulation of immature cells. Chromosomal translocations in AML affect transcription factors that are involved in regulation of myeloid differentiation. Aberrant expression of these factors interferes with differentiation events and has a role in the pathogenesis of AML through superactivation or (dominant negati

Objective: To compare the rate of vaginal birth after cesarean section (VBAC), including the maternal and perinatal outcomes, in two historical cohorts before and after the implementation of specific changes in the clinical practice. Design: A retrospective cohort study. Setting: Skåne University Hospital in Malmö, Sweden. Participants: including all women with one previous cesarean section (CS),

In a Western European system based on a traditional separation of powers, public administration is as a rule organised under the Government (or Cabinet), as part of the Executive. In addition to this kind of state authorities, the Nordic countries feature a number of administrative bodies attached to the Parliaments.
