The single nucleotide polymorphism 1858C> T in the PTPN22 gene is associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in several populations. Earlier reports have suggested that the association may be modified by human leukocyte antigen (HLA), as well as by islet autoantibodies. In a large case-control study of Swedish incident T1D patients and controls, 0-34 years of age, we tested whether the odds ratio (OR)

21 april 2026 17:15 till 18:30 | Event Öppet panelsamtal Har ägarsamhället skapat en välmående medelklass eller bidragit till ökad ojämlikhet och social utsatthet? Under lång tid har bostadsägande och fondsparande lyfts fram som de bästa sätten att få ekonomisk trygghet. Samtidigt har ojämlikheten och skuldsättningen ökat i Sverige, medan klimatkrisen satt fart på diskussioner om delningsekonomi o

Objectives This systematic review aimed to identify published observational methods assessing biomechanical exposures in occupational settings and evaluate them with reference to the needs of different users. Methods We searched scientific databases and the internet for material from 1965 to September 2008. Methods were included if they were primarily based on the systematic observation of work, t
The aim was to determine whether the relationship between personality traits and Subjective Well-Being (SWB) differs when the affective component of SWB is measured in terms of frequency or intensity. Extraversion and Neuroticism were expected to show significant but different associations to SWB depending on the dimension of the affective component. Swedish undergraduate students (N = 153) self-r
Urbanization expands very quickly, and it is one of the major threats to biodiversity. The spread of exotic trees in urban sites negatively affect the distribution of native trees and thereby insects. Herbivorous insects are highly dependent on native trees as a host and for providing nutrition. Any impact on the distribution of native trees will hence potentially also alter the insect abundance a
This chapter examines the development of maternal and infant mortality and its connection to changes in medical and healthcare treatment of mothers and infants in the city of Landskrona, Sweden, and its rural hinterland between 1905 and 2015. The authors show that maternal mortality, stillbirth rates, and infant mortality declined strongly in this period. In parallel, hospitals began to admit more
Photoreceptor cells in the pineal complex of poikilothermic vertebrates are regarded as homologous with the neuroendocrine pinealocytes in the mammalian pineal organ. They possess an indolamine metabolism, and they contain a number of substances that are immunochemically similar to phototransduction‐related proteins otherwise found in photoreceptors of the lateral eye retina. Using correlative lig
Abstract Objective. Infravesical obstruction leads to growth of urinary bladder smooth-muscle cells. The ganglion cells innervating the bladder muscle also increase in size. Stretch of detrusor muscle cells rapidly activates c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK), which phosphorylates the transcription factor c-Jun, and stimulates the synthesis of the cotranscription factor ATF3. The aim of the study w
In order to investigate potential selection bias in population-based cohort studies, participants (n = 28098) and non-participants (n = 40807) in the Malmo Diet and Cancer Study (MDCS) were compared with regard to cancer incidence and mortality. MDCS participants were also compared with participants in a mailed health survey with regard to subjective health, socio-demographic characteristics and l
UHMWPE crosslinked using Gamma radiation is believed to have improved wear properties, and this has been extensively studied during the past 10 years. Mechanical properties, oxidation, and wear properties of UHMWPE materials subjected to various thermal treatments have been investigated immediately after irradiation as well as after several years of aging. Nevertheless, the relationship between al
This chapter takes its departure in the persistent mythology surrounding the so-called forest Finns who migrated from Finland to Sweden and further on to America in the seventeenth century. The forest Finns have traditionally been regarded as a clear-cut and bounded ethnical group, represented by a specific suit of material culture and practices. However, by comparing archaeological remains and wr
I år var andra gången som Lunds universitet genomförde en universitetsgemensam pedagogisk utvecklingskonferens, första gången var 2007. Konferensen, som är ett samarrangemang mellan samtliga fakulteter och CED, har nu alltså blivit en återkommande aktivitet! Samhällsvetenskapliga fakulteten stod värd för årets konferens och dekanus Ann-Katrin Bäcklund sträckte vid invigningen fram en symbolisk sta
‘Transition’ was a concept used to denote that the former communist states in Europe were on the track towards establishment of a market economy in the wake of the collapsed planned economy. Another connotation of the concept was democracy – or democratisation – and a third, which was introduced when it became obvious that institutions were important for the transition to succeed, the Rechtsstaat,
