Gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM) defines an unhealthy state of hyperglycaemia that develops in response to an otherwise normal physiological adaptive insulin resistance state during pregnancy. However, the exact plasma glucose levels differentiating the unhealthy GDM state from a normal pregnancy is unknown, and relies upon arbitrary cut off criteria based on associations with adverse health out
Introduction: To investigate the incidence of neonatal early-onset group B streptococcal (GBS) infection in Sweden after promulgation of guidelines (2008) for risk factor-based intrapartum antibiotic prophylaxis, and evaluate the presence of risk factors and obstetric management in mothers. Material and methods: National registers were searched for infants with early-onset GBS infection during 200
Aim: The aim of this thesis was to identify risk factors for type 1 diabetes in children, evaluate the effects of participation in prospective follow-up and the safety of immune tolerance treatment with GAD-Alum in children with islet autoimmunity.Methods: Subjects from the Swedish DiPiS cohort were studied regarding risk factors, cord blood islet autoantibodies and the effects of early severe lif
The V3 region of the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 envelope protein gp120 constitutes a potential neutralization target, but the oligosaccharide of one conserved N-glycosylation site in this region protects it from neutralizing antibodies. Here, we determined whether N-linked glycans of other gp120 domains were also involved in protection of V3 neutralization epitopes. Two molecular clones o
Background As a part of the Service Organization’s earlier initiated and at the moment on-going project; “A more efficient Service Organization”, daily management has been identified as playing a major part. The starting-point for this has been to gain insight into how the Service Organization is actually performing and how it would be possible to measure, follow-up and visualize this performance.
Popular Summary Wildfire events are expected to increase with the changing climate; thereby increasing atmospheric, economic, and human health impacts. A better understanding of the evolution of wildfire events can benefit regional meteorology models and global atmospheric models. Because of this, an attempt at modeling the evolution of wildfire was undertaken using 8 years of daily meteorologica
This study investigates how L2 learners of English in different stages of the learning process acquire, and more importantly, produce restrictive relative clauses of which special emphasis is put on the zero relativizer. The relevance of this narrow focus stems from previous research on SLA of relative clauses that has shown that it is a particularly troublesome area for L2 learners that is largel
Denna uppsats behandlar tidigare förhör som bevis i brottmål och undersöker frågan om när tidigare förhör får föredras som bevis i domstol, tidigare förhörs upptagningsformer och om man kan lita på att de är korrekta samt bevisvärderingen av tidigare förhör. Vittnen, målsägande och tilltalade i brottmål behöver i Sverige som huvudregel framträda personligen för muntliga förhör i domstol. I rätteThis thesis examines the use of previous questionings as evidence in criminal trials and explores when previous questionings are allowed to be presented as evidence in trial, the form of how previous questionings are recorded and if you can trust in their correctness as well as the evidence evaluation of previous questionings. In criminal trials in Sweden; witnesses, injured parties and defendan
Gig-ekonomins intåg på den svenska arbetsmarknaden har väckt många arbetsrättsliga frågor. Den här uppsatsen behandlar en av de frågorna, nämligen hur de traditionella arbetstagar- och arbetsgivarbegreppen står sig inom ramen för gig-ekonomin. Att det uppkommer arbetsrättsliga problem vid tillämpningen av begreppen beror på att den rättsliga utgångspunkten för arbetsrättens tillämpningsområde är e
The rise of private firms was vital for China’s coastal economic development, and this institutional change should play an essential role if the country wants to replicate its successes elsewhere. The first testing ground for such replication is the Go West Program. Aimed at the catching up of China’s interior, the program uses the city of Chongqing as a growth pole. Based on the coastal experienc
Plastics for everyday use are made from fossile resources. With the demand for plastics increasing every year, a sustainable development for plastic products is a growing challenge. A major issue is the depletion of the non-renewable fossile resources, which means that sooner or later alternatives to the conventional plastics are needed. With this problem in mind, this work focuses on the developm
As a result of 20th-century car-centric planning, many urban districts had emerged designed to serve only one function. Different residential suburbs and trade areas were dispersed scattered within and outside the cities. This has led to more dependence on private cars to meet people’s daily needs. Urban Ergonomics will discuss one type of these areas, the external shopping centers, or the big-bo
Fault detection systems come in a variety of formats and are used in many different types of machines and industries. They can be used to perform fast and accurate detection, classification and analysis. The need for user interaction can be decreased and by that the general level of automation can be increased. This project has been conducted together with B\&R Automation and Imogo. B&R
Background: Food consumption is one of the most important drivers of environmental pressures. Adoption of healthy diets is suggested to be an option for less environmentally intensive food habits and improved public health. In particular, changes in meat consumption are believed to bring potential benefits. Objective: To quantify the impact of changes in meat consumption on the dietary contributio
Background. Age-specific incidence rates for breast cancer in low-risk and high-risk ethnic populations differ by age at which the incidence maximum is reached: around 50 years in low-risk populations and over 60 years in high-risk populations. The interpretation of these differences remains unsettled, one line primarily referring to biological differences, the second one to cohort effects of rapi
