Novel biomarkers are key to addressing the ongoing pandemic of type 2 diabetes mellitus. While new technologies have improved the potential of identifying such biomarkers, at the same time there is an increasing need for informed prioritization to ensure efficient downstream verification. We have built BALDR, an automated pipeline for biomarker comparison and prioritization in the context of diabe
This article studies autobiographical accounts of breast cancer, so called pathographies, analysing how the body and the illness are portrayed. The article has a special focus on the experiences of the lived body, relating it to the psychological concept resilience as well as to the sense of estrangement of the body in illness and the socially situated body. The focus of the study is two autobiogr
Criminologists have indicated that gender is one of the strongest predictors of fear of crime. The leading explanation for gender differences in fear of crime levels is the shadow of sexual assault hypothesis, claiming that women’s fear of sexual assault is one of the most salient factors influencing their fear of other crimes. Using a sample of 1,051 university students, this study examines the p
During the second world war between one-half to two million Roma people were killed. The Roma and Sinti ethnic groups had to wait until 1982 before West Germany would recognize them as victims of the Nazi policy of extermination during the war. This has resulted in that the suffering of the Roma does not form a part of the common knowledge today. This essay conveys a discourse analysis, with the p
The current study aims to clarify the relationship between fear of crime and risk perception, age, gender, direct victimization and indirect victimization. The study also aims to explore how the relationship between victim and perpetrator affect the victim’s fear of crime and risk perception. A survey concerning fear of crime, risk perception, known/unknown perpetrator and earlier victimization wa
An increasingly heterogeneous demography in society demands for a shift of attitude towards crisis communication. With a population where one in five has got a foreign background it is important that governments and decision makers continuously evaluate the current crisis management plans, and take measures through updates where so is considered to be needed. This report aims to evaluate the curre
Denna undersökning är en fallstudie av hur nio elever i årskurs nio och deras lärare har arbetat med musikskapande. Momentet musikskapande förekommer ytterst sparsamt i musikundervisningen i svenska grundskolor, trots att det enligt kursplanen ska bedömas. Denna undersökning genomfördes på en skola där musikskapande utförs i stor omfattning, alltså en skola som sticker ut. Syftet var att undersöka
“Strategic Energy Solutions” is the final report on energy solutions for a zero emission Öresund region. It consists of numerous solutions that have been, or can be, applied in the region in order to minimise the environmental impact of the energy sector. Additionally it includes a case study of energy transition projects on Lolland Island in Denmark. The report seeks to provide recommendations fo
Studiens bakgrund baseras på den snedfördelade representationen av könen vid svenska sjuksköterskeutbildningar. Könssegregationen vid utbildningarna ger en direkt effekt på hur fördelningen mellan könen blir på arbetsplatserna. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur universiteten använder sina hemsidor i syfte att skapa en mer jämställd studentkår med hjälp av kommunikations- och identifiering

The aim of this study was to find out how discomycetes growing on European Marram grass, Ammophila arenaria (L.) Link, are distributed in relation to white and grey dunes. The result indicates that discomycetes are more common in the white dune area, but the difference was not statistically significant. The study also includes a genetic study of intraspecific variation in the species Albotricha ac
