The Lundby study is a classic epidemiological investigation. The first field investigation took place in the parishes of Dalby and Bonderup in 1947. The Lundby population, consisting of 3563 probands, was investigated for the fourth time in 1997 -2000 by Per Nettelbladt and his research team. Previous investigations took place in 1947, 1957, and 1972. Several sources of information have been used,

Peri-urban development has in recent years been given increasing attention in different regions all over the world. Peri-urban areas are defined as zones of conflict or competition where new and traditional land uses collide with outer reaches demarcated by daily commuting distances based on common modes of transport into urban cores. In this article an effort to compare peri-urban development in

To increase our understanding of the genetic basis of adiposity and its links to cardiometabolic disease risk, we conducted a genome-wide association meta-analysis of body fat percentage (BF%) in up to 100,716 individuals. Twelve loci reached genome-wide significance (P<5 × 10(-8)), of which eight were previously associated with increased overall adiposity (BMI, BF%) and four (in or near COBLL1/GR

Summary: Traditionally, fire safety has often been addressed with methods based on prescriptive recommendations. The opportunity to use an alternative analytical approach has led to the development of fire safety engineering, beginning with structural fire safety design in the 1960's and today including fire safety design and fire risk analysis in general. The prediction of reality using model cal

Detta arbete kick-startar AI (artificiell intelligens) för ledningsunderhåll i VA-branschen i Sverige. Arbetet med befintliga VA-nät är idag främst reaktivt; man reparerar läckor vartefter man blir varse dem, ibland till stora kostnader om läckan är omfattande och akut. Med denna artikel vill vi sätta fokus på proaktivt arbete med ledningsnät och diskutera riskanalys inom området. En ANN-modell so

Domestic service has historically been one of the commonest forms of employment for women. In this chapter, we pose the question whether paid jobs in domestic service offered any career opportunities for women. A point of departure for the chapter is the existence and possible meanings of various occupational titles in the sector, for example ‘servant’, ‘housemaid’ and ‘housekeeper’. Our investiga

Cystic fibrosis-related diabetes mellitus (CFRD) is the most common non-pulmonary co-morbidity in cystic fibrosis (CF). CF is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene (CFTR), which leads to aberrant luminal fluid secretions in organs such as the lungs and pancreas. How dysfunctional CFTR leads to CFRD is still under debate. Both intrinsic effects of dysfu
