Modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease include overweight, which is prevented by healthy diet and physical activity. Recently settled migrants may have varying levels of exposure to health information. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to explore the associations between self-reported information on healthy diet and on physical activity and overweight and the possible modifi
Immune responses against LDL antigens have been found to play an important modulatory role in atherosclerosis. Immunization with homologous oxidized LDL, as well as human apolipoprotein B100 (ApoB)-derived peptides, inhibit atherosclerosis in hypercholesterolemic animal models of atherosclerosis. However, the role of antigen-specific Th2 responses in atherosclerosis remains to be fully clarified.
Weight loss improves insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance in obese subjects with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), but the long term dynamic effects on blood metabolites other than glucose during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), are largely unknown. Here, we studied changes in OGTT-elicited metabolite patterns in obese subjects during a diet-induced weight loss study.
In Danish literature from the early 1970s, it was suggested that the freedom of speech should have a preferred position in relation to other constitutional rights. In a case from the Norwe-gian Supreme Court in 1976, judicial review of the constitutionality of legislation was divided in three categories. Constitutional rules about the freedom and security of the individual should be supervised mos
Objective: To investigate single potentially traumatic events and cumulative effects of these events based on the reported symptoms of post-traumatic stress and dissociation. An additional goal was to evaluate the psychometric properties of Life Incidence of Traumatic Events-Student scale (LITE-S). Methods: 400 adolescents from the normative population answered the questionnaire Life Incidence of
One way to increase distribution network reliability is to replace traditional overhead lines with underground cables. To fully utilize these investments, network owners will have to adjust their reliability engineering methods to suit the new cable networks. In this paper different condition assessment methods as well as improved failure statistics for cable systems are considered. The paper is b
Geographic accessibility to services is important. Having a grocery store and a school nearby are important living conditions and having a rescue station close by could be a life-saver. Costs for transportation are high and are predicted to increase, new environmental demands are being imposed on transportation and rationalizations are centralizing public and commercial services. These facts make
The intensification of agriculture during the second half of the twentieth century, has caused sever declines of farmland biodiversity, where loss of semi-natural habitats is one of the major drivers. To halt further loss of habitat and biodiversity, agri-environmental schemes (AES) are used to compensate farmers to use methods less harmful to the environment. In this thesis, I have investigated t
Downtimes in a manufacturing cell, line or individual machines are characterized by a stochastic behavior that their frequency and their duration display. A method is presented here for analyzing this dynamic behavior from a cost perspective. An important element of the method is statistical analysis of downtimes, including empirical distribution functions pertaining to downtimes of specific types
Too Many Doing Too Little On Contemporary European Film Production Cultures In a majority of Western European countries, the two concurrent, post-World War II tendencies of increasing economic difficulties for the national film industries and the developing recognition of film as a significant contemporary art form were imperative for the introduction of film support. With Hollywood dominating sc
This paper presents and suggests a load combination factor for moisture induced stress (MIS) when MIS and snow load are combined. It is argued that MIS may be considered as an ordinary load to be combined with other structural actions, for example snow load. This outlook is not new but till now the load combination factor issue has not been investigated. Based on measured snow depths and calculate
Background: Anterior cruciate ligament injury is a common knee injury and the treatment may be surgical and/or conservative. Different studies have shown surgical and conservative treatment, respectively, as the best intervention. Therefore it is uncertain which treatment is preferable. When searching in PubMed, no articles were found describing the thoughts and experiences of orthopedists and phy
När en betalning skett av misstag har betalaren sedan gammalt under vissa förutsättningar haft rätt att kräva pengarna åter enligt den romerska rättsprincipen condictio indebiti. Det finns inga lagar som direkt fastställer principen i svensk rätt men den tillämpas i rättspraxis. Om betalaren ska medges en återkravsrätt gentemot mottagaren beror på en avvägning av de motstående intressen som gör si
SOU 2014:40 innebär avdragsbegränsningsregler för finansiella kostnader, bland annat finansiella leasingtransaktioner. Grundtanken bakom detta är att utjämna skillnaderna i den skattemässiga behandlingen av eget och lånat kapital. Ett ytterligare skäl till att avskaffa avdragsrätten för räntor är att det har förekommit omfattande skatteplanering med ränteavdrag som har visat sig svår att motverka.If the proposed changes in SOU 2014:40 are implemented it will impose limitations on deductions for ”financial expenses”. This process will mean limitations for deductions related to financial leasing. The idea behind this is to lessen the difference that exists between the taxation of equity and borrowed capital. Another reason behind the proposed changes is the large extent to which the current
Background: Since 1994 the need for joint sexual and reproductive health (SRH) responsibility between men and women to achieve gender equality and reduce health inequalities has received more attention. The focus has been on young people as they transition into adulthood and are vulnerable to the negative consequences of early pregnancy and childbirth, STIs and early parenthood. Traditionally, con
