The increased prevalence of individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) challenges society to evaluate the quality and efficacy of community based psycho-pedagogical programmes in order to achieve progress and to attain an acceptable level of quality of life for its citizens. The overarching aim of this thesis was to gain knowledge about staff’s pedagogical work and to provide a method for as

Aims: We tested whether autoantibodies to all three ZnT8RWQ variants, GAD65, insulinoma-associated protein 2 (IA-2), insulin and autoantibodies to islet cell cytoplasm (ICA) in combination with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) would improve the diagnostic sensitivity of childhood type 1 diabetes by detecting the children who otherwise would have been autoantibody-negative. Methods: A total of 686 pat

Popular Abstract in English Atherosclerosis is a disease of medium and large sized vessels of our bodies that is mainly characterized by the deposition of lipids in the vessel walls. Increased lipid levels in the blood of an individual, because of lifestyle habits but also because of genetics, can lead to the formation of an “atherosclerotic plaque”. Thus, although lipids are important for the norAtherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of medium and large vessels of the body which is mainly characterized by the formation of lipid rich plaques within the arterial tissue. It is the most common cause of cardiovascular disease leading to clinical manifestations of coronary artery and cerebrovascular disease. Immune responses targeting modified low density lipoprotein (LDL) play an im

Long term effects after peptic ulcer surgery still exert an influence on some patient groups. Partial gastrectomy increases the risk of gastric carcinoma more than 20 years after surgery and enterogastric reflux is regarded as the main ethiological factor. Partial gastrectomy also gives increased risk of other malignancies as well as smoking related disease. Parietal cell vagotomy (PCV) is conside

Haemophilia A (HA) is caused by defective synthesis of coagulation factor VIII(FVIII), which has serious effects on haemostasis; joints being the most common site of bleeding. The development of FVIII replacements has improved the situation for patients with haemophilia such that chronic arthropathy can be prevented, and life expectancy and the quality of life have increased. However, approximatel

The use of energy gases with renewable origins will become important with diminishing fossil resources. This as the infrastructure of the gaseous fuels is well built out and the distribution networks already exist. LPG is one of the most versatile fuels around, perfect for rural areas and in many other applications. The fossil origin of the fuel will, in today’s climate and environmental debate, h

Adipose tissue does not only store and release energy in response to hormones, it is also known as an endocrine organ, secreting important factors and hormones that influence for example appetite and insulin sensitivity. The association of type 2 diabetes with obesity has been known for quite some time. Understanding the cellular mechanisms of adipocyte function is of great importance in understan

I december 2019 upptäckte smittskyddsmyndigheten i Kina ett helt nytt virus som senare skulle visa sig spridas och bryta ut till en pandemi över hela världen. Viruset har sedan dess fått namnet SARS-CoV-2 och bidrar till sjukdomen Covid-19. Viruset upptäcktes och identifierades för första gången i staden Wuhan i Hubeiprovinsen, för att sedan spridas till ett stort antal länder över hela världen. DIn December 2019, authorities in China discovered a completely new virus that since then has spread worldwide leading to a pandemic. The virus has since been named SARS-CoV-2 and contributes to infection of Covid-19. The current situation (2021-01-01) of the covid-19-pandemic has affected us all with a rate of 60 million global cases, several unfortunate deaths and a great uncertainty regarding an

Jämfört med många andra industrier så har byggnadsindustrin halkat efter med att implementera digitala lösningar. I dagsläget är det enbart ett fåtal materialleverantörer och tillverkare som erbjuder en tjänst av så kallade digitala BIM-objekt till sina produkter. Dessa digitala produkt kopior kan nyttjas för flera syften i projektmodeller vilket exempelvis gynnar desing-team och entreprenörer. DeThe construction industry has in general been rather slow in its implementation of new digital solutions compared to other industries. To date, only a handful of material suppliers are offering a service of so-called digital BIM-objects of their products. These 'digital product copies' can be utilized in projects' BIM-models for several purposes, being favorable to the design team and

Electrical power distribution is currently seeing both challenges and opportunities. On one hand, the digitisation of measurement data and modern measurement devices enable deeper analysis and planning of the grid. On the other hand, the expansion of privately owned photovoltaic systems and the customers' desire to produce their own electricity is an inevitable challenge that distribution comp

Den 1 januari 2020 infördes bestämmelsen om sabotage mot blåljusverksamhet i brottsbalken. Med blåljusverksamhet avses polisen, räddningstjänsten och ambulanssjukvården. Det har runtom i landet skett olika typer av angrepp riktade mot blåljusverksamheten, bland annat stenkastning. Syftet med bestämmelsen är att skapa ett heltäckande skydd för blåljusverksamheten, då den har en viktig samhällsfunkt

Vid fotbollsutövande utsätts deltagarna regelbundet för våld som skulle kunna bedömas som t.ex. misshandel och ofredande. De straffbelagda handlingarna som vidtas under fotbollutövning är emellertid i regel att anse som tillåtna. Den här studien syftar till att utreda var gränsen går för tillåten respektive otillåten våldsgärning under fotbollsutövning. Dessutom besvaras frågan varför våld som begDuring the practice of football, the players are regularly subjected to violent acts that could constitute e.g., assault or molestation. These acts, committed during the exercise of football, which fulfils the requirements of a crime, could be free from liability. This essay aims to examine when such an act constitutes a crime and when such an act is exempted from liability. Further the essay seek

I svensk rättsskipning har användningen av lekmannadomare månghundraåriga anor. Idag medverkar de i olika typer av dömande verksamhet som exempelvis i brottmål i tingsrätt. Motiven för att använda lekmän har varierat stort över tiden. Ordningen med nämndemännen har visat sig vara seglivad trots att det förekommit en hård kritik. Nämndemän antog tidigare i historien karaktären av bevisning. Därefte

Ungdomar har varit föremål för straffrättslig särbehandling i flera sekel. Den nuvarande särbehandlingen föreskrivs i 29 kap. 7 § BrB och medför att om någon begår brott innan hen fyllt 21 år så ska dennes ungdom särskilt beaktas vid straffmätningen. Detta resulterar i en straffnedsättning, s.k. straffrabatt som minskar i förhållande till ökad ålder. Straffrabatten motiveras utifrån ungdomars bris

Today, we are creating and building more than ever. While buildings rise from the horizon, the consumption of building materials increases massively. More than 22% of global carbon dioxide emissions come from the consumption of building materials such as concrete, steel, and aluminum, etc. 55% of embodied carbon in a conventional building is in the structure and substructure (Smedley, 2019). Hence

Mikrobiologisk analys och riskbedömning av biogödsel som näringskälla i hydroponisk odling Jordens ökande befolkning kräver också en ökande produktion av livsmedel. Ett hållbart och innovativt sätt för ökad livsmedelsproduktion är att använda sig av hydroponisk odlingsteknik, där grödans rötter placeras direkt i en flytande näringslösning istället för jord, vilket kräver mindre yta och möjliggör The societal interest for a more sustainable and circular food production is increasing. Hydroponic farming is an alternative way of growing vegetables that can bring farming into urban environments, reducing long transports of food. In parallel, the focus in waste treatment is being more directed toward resource recovery. Food waste is used as a resource for biogas production, producing a liquid
