Consistent but indirect evidence has implicated genetic factors in smoking behavior1,2. We report meta-analyses of several smoking phenotypes within cohorts of the Tobacco and Genetics Consortium (n = 74,053). We also partnered with the European Network of Genetic and Genomic Epidemiology (ENGAGE) and Oxford-GlaxoSmithKline (Ox-GSK) consortia to follow up the 15 most significant regions (n > 140,0

Background. Weight loss is common among patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) and is mainly due to tumor and treatment related factors. The aim of the present study was to evaluate weight loss in patients with SCCHN undergoing two different radiotherapy (RT) schedules. Material and methods. Nutritional data were analyzed from the ARTSCAN study, a controlled randomized

Training and communication are essential elements in the implementation of environmental management systems (EMS). This study is based on two main questions: (i) What methods for training and communication will support the implementation of EMS at a university? and, (ii) How did faculty and staff perceive the training and communication activities? The study includes a literature review, a case stu

Background: In a screening study for silent atrial fibrillation (AF), which is a frequent source of cardiac emboli with ischemic stroke, the proportion of non-participants was considerable and their clinical profile differed from the participants' profile. We intended to geo-map the target population and non-participation in an attempt to understand factors related to screening uptake and, thereby

Atherosclerosis, thickening of the major arteries, is a chronic disease leading to cardiovascular disease (CVD) such as myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke, both affecting millions worldwide. T-cells and antibodies have been implicated in atherosclerosis. This thesis contains studies on CD4+ helper subsets and studies on antibodies against methylglyoxal-modified apolipoprotein B100 (MGO-ApoB100)

For construction in rock a thorough pre-investigation is important in order to avoid unforeseen conditions which may delay the work. It is crucial to remember the results from this investigation in the further work, and use the experience from the construction to update the geological prognosis and reduce the uncertainties. Different geophysical methods have proved valuable tools in such investiga

The bachelor thesis was to create a GPS tracking system for Svep Design Center AB. The system would consist of two major parts which were linked together through a common database. One part consisted of a cell phone application were the user can transmit their current position and the other part was a web application where the position data is presented on a map outlining the route of the user. Si

This is a study of the work of a Danish music teacher at a free school (grade 1 9) in Copenhagen. The teaching is based explicitly on playing in ensemble and the pupils play at a high artistic level compared to a normal school. Data collection was made during three days with the help of observation, video recording and qualitative interviews. The report contains video clips where the pupils and th

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Fenologi innebär studier av naturligt återkommande händelser som till exempel bladsprickning, knoppbristning och vissningen av blad. Det är viktigt att förstå hur klimatförändringen påverkar tidpunkten då dessa händelser sker eftersom det i sin tur påverkar kol-, närings- och den hydrologiska cykeln. Fältobservationer har varit den mest använda metoden för att saPhenology is the study of the timing of natural events such as leaf-out, bud burst and senescence relative to climate change. It is important to understand how the climate change will affect the timing of these events as it in turn affects the carbon-, nutrient- and the hydrological cycles. Field observations is the most common way to gather phenology data but the result is dependent on the skill

Civilprocessrättens systematik bygger till stor del på rättsliga principer. Två av dessa är jura novit curia och dispositionsprincipen. Principerna, som i några fall kommer till uttryck i lag, ger domstolen respektive parterna kontroll över olika delar av processen. Enligt jura novit curia har domstolen ensam rätt och plikt att tillämpa korrekta rättsregler på materialet som presenteras av partern
