BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Acute lesions in patients with transient ischaemic attack (TIA) are important as they are associated with increased risk for recurrence. Characteristics associated with acute lesions in young TIA patients were therefore investigated.METHODS: The sifap1 study prospectively recruited a multinational European cohort (n = 5023) of patients aged 18-55 years with acute cerebrovas
Aims Baseline adiponectin concentrations predict incident Type 2 diabetes mellitus in the Diabetes Prevention Program. We tested the hypothesis that common variants in the genes encoding adiponectin (ADIPOQ) and its receptors (ADIPOR1, ADIPOR2) would associate with circulating adiponectin concentrations and/or with diabetes incidence in the Diabetes Prevention Program population. Methods Seventy-s
Popular Abstract in Swedish Min forskning handlar om hur nedbrytningen av fett i fettceller regleras genom att fosfat tas av och sätts fast på olika proteiner inuti fettcellerna. För att man skall förstå hur fettnedbrytning hänger ihop med att fosfat reagerar med proteiner är det bra att veta något om hur fettcellernas ämnesomsättning regleras. Energilagring och fettomsättning Människokroppen laAdipose tissue is the main site of energy storage of the body and an important endocrine organ. Knowledge of the regulation of fat metabolism and the endocrine factors secreted by the adipocyte is crucial for the understanding of diseases such as obesity and diabetes. Insulin is the main antilipolytic hormone. Protein kinase B (PKB) and phosphodiesterase 3B (PDE3B) are both phosphorylated and acti
The aim of this thesis was to study nurse assistants’ experience of palliative care and to investigate how an intervention with a focus on a palliative care approach in residential care facilities influenced the nurse assistants and their work situation. The thesis is based on two qualitative and two quantitative studies, focusing on nurse assistants working at residential care facilities for olde
Popular Abstract in English Mobile communication systems are now evolving towards the fifth generation (5G). In the near future, we expect an explosive increase in the number of connected devices, such as phones, tablets, wearable accessories, sensors, connected vehicles and so on. We can imagine that much higher data rates than in today's 4G systems are required. Sounds like the future of communiMobile communications are now evolving towards the fifth generation (5G). In the near future, we expect an explosive increase in the number of connected devices, such as phones, tablets, sensors, connected vehicles and so on. Much higher data rates than in today's 4G systems are required. In the 5G visions, better coverage in remote regions is also included, aiming for bringing the current "4 bill

This thesis aimed to determine if Euroscepticism is demonstrated to shift in the EU’s external border regions after sudden border insecurities, compared to other types of regions. This field was explored due to previous researchers claiming that the EU’s border regions are particularly susceptible to changes in Euroscepticism due to sudden border insecurity. The case of Russia’s invasion of Ukrain
Thesis Purpose: The present research investigates the relationship between corporate brand reputation and consumer purchase intention while regarding to the post-postmodern consumer of today. The purpose of the study is to contribute with insights on how the post-postmodern consumer evaluates corporate brand reputation and explore the effect of this evaluation on consumer purchase intention. Meth
The practice of product destruction, whereby retailers or manufacturers dispose of viable consumer products such as unsold goods or consumer returns, is an extreme expression of the linearity of our current production-consumption system. This qualitative exploratory study aims to uncover why companies engage in this highly unsustainable and resource-inefficient behaviour, and to explore the potent
The ultrafast decay of the x-ray diffraction intensity following laser excitation of an InSb crystal has been utilized to observe carrier dependent changes in the potential energy surface. For the first time, an abrupt carrier dependent onset for potential energy surface softening and the appearance of accelerated atomic disordering for a very high average carrier density have been observed. Inert
