Purpose: Whey protein (WP) consumption prior to a meal curbs appetite and reduces postprandial glucose (PPG) through stimulating endogenous GLP-1 secretion and insulin. Methods: We assessed the metabolic effects of a concentrated WP, using a new micelle-technology (WPM), in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and overweight or obesity (NCT04639726). In a randomized-crossover design, participants per

Methods We examined risk for DUD and AUD in siblings of 102,624 DUD cases and matched control probands and 123,837 AUD case and matched control probands identified using Swedish re

Background and objective: Patients diagnosed with grade group (GG) 1 prostate cancer (PCa) following treatment for benign disease (“incidental” PCa) are typically managed with active surveillance (AS). It is not known how their outcomes compare with those observed in patients diagnosed with GG1 on biopsy. We aimed at determining whether long-term oncologic outcomes of AS for patients with GG1 PCa
Obalansen mellan könen inom forskningen anses vara ett problem av många skäl, inte minst för att kvinnors talang inom forskning inte utnyttjas fullt ut. Den politiska styrningen har de senaste decennierna därför riktats mot att öka andelen kvinnliga professorer genom könsbalansmål för befordringar. Det finns goda skäl att tro att vad som händer i början av den akademiska karriären spelar roll för
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of evidence-informed priority setting and situational analysis in pandemic preparedness and response. Health Technology Assessment (HTA) has been identified as an essential tool for evidence-informed decision-making in healthcare. However, the potential role of HTA in pandemic preparedness and response in Africa has yet to be explore
Lund University is a public authority. Just like all other Swedish public authorities, the University must adhere to the statutory principle of public access to official documents. This principle entails an obligation to disclose official documents on request to the public. Issues related to public access, such as the disclosure of official documents and secrecy, are normally handled at the depart

In April, 2019, the author discovered that Archbishop Erling Eidem’s sermons and speeches, since 1966/1978, have been kept in the University library of Uppsala. This has been overlooked by all authors earlier dealing with Eidem, only using shortened summaries. In Lützen, on November 6, 1942, Eidem stated that »our Gustavus-Adolphuscelebration may not be characterized by national self-sufficiency a
Den aisopiska fabeln etablerades som genre i den grekiska antiken och nådde Skandinavien under medeltiden. I svensk kultur upplevde fabeln en storhetstid under den tidigmoderna epoken (1500–1800). Monografin Fabelbruk i svensk tidigmodernitet. En genrehistorisk studie tar ett helhetsgrepp om fabelgenrens historia i Sverige under denna 300-årsperiod. I dialog med ny internationell fabel- och genrefEstablished as a genre in Greek antiquity, the Aesopic fable reached Scandinavia during the Middle Ages. In Sweden, the fable experienced its glory days during the early modern epoch (1500–1800). The monograph Fabelbruk i svensk tidigmodernitet. En genrehistorisk studie [Usage of Fable in Swedish Early Modernity. A Genre History] takes a comprehensive look at the history of fable in Sweden during
The concept of the right temporal variant of frontotemporal dementia (rtvFTD) is still equivocal. The syndrome accompanying predominant right anterior temporal atrophy has previously been described as memory loss, prosopagnosia, getting lost and behavioural changes. Accurate detection is challenging, as the clinical syndrome might be confused with either behavioural variant FTD (bvFTD) or Alzheime
Objectives: To assess the antiviral effect, clinical outcomes, and safety of the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) fusion inhibitor rilematovir in non-hospitalized RSV-infected adults. Methods: This phase 2a, double-blind, multicentre study randomly assigned RSV-positive adult outpatients ≤5 days from symptom onset 1:1:1 to receive rilematovir 500 mg, 80 mg, or placebo once-daily for 7 days. Antiv
Mixed findings have been made with regard to the long-term predictive validity of antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) on criminal behaviour in samples of substance abusers. A longitudinal record-linkage study of a cohort of 1052 drug abusers admitted 1977-1995 was undertaken. Subjects were recruited from a detoxification and short-term rehabilitation unit in Lund, Sweden, and followed through c
Popular Abstract in Swedish Förtroende och nationella perspektiv i multinationell krishantering: en studie av Europeiska Unionens militärstrategiska nivå Doktorsavhandling av Olof Ekman, avdelningen för Brandteknik och Riskhantering vid Lunds Tekniska Högskola (LTH), Lunds Universitet, försvarad den 9 december 2011. Tidigare forskning pekar på att förtroende i större kriser är viktigt för att saThis thesis is motivated by an increasing degree of unfamiliarity and prominence of national dimensions in multinational crisis management. The research rationale rests on the argument that trust is important but may erode when roles conflict, which in turn may result when stakeholder interests diverge. The thesis describes trust and national perspectives in terms of role conflict in an EU Operati
The United States and the European Union operate under the similar design of a federal structure and their labor markets face similar tax discrimination challenges. Case law illustrates how the goal of a common market present in both unions is highly influential on the respective Courts and provides a flexible structure to protect individuals against discriminatory tax legislation. It is the centr
Sweden became a member of the European Union in 1995. Consequently Sweden became obligated to implement the Working Time Directive 2003/88/EC (formerly termed 93/104/EC). At that time Sweden considered that their legislation already gave their employees as high level of protection as the directive prescribed. Instead they decided upon an adjustment of the collective agreements concerning working t
According to a European Council recommendation, the prime concerns member states should consider when negotiating and concluding new readmission agreements are speed and simplicity. The readmission agreements are written in a reciprocal manner, but it is easy to imagine that they are not for the mutual benefit of the states involved. Usually, the state insisting on a readmission agreement has a pr
In my paper I have emanated from the question when a refusal to deal by an undertaking in a dominant position constitutes an abuse according to article 82 EC Treaty. Article 82 of The Consolidated version of the Treaty establishing the European Community, signed in Rome 1957, incorporating the changes made by the Treaty of Amsterdam on 2 October 1997, OJ 1997 C340, pp. 173-308, hereafter referred

This thesis will primarily focus on assessing Statkraft’s potential and strategic compe
As almost three out of four EU citizens live in urban areas and this number is expected to further grow, studies on urban ecosystems and their services are crucial to understand a city’s environmental structure and capabilities. The European Commission has published a relative report which suggests an urban ecosystem condition indicator framework, yet without suggesting respective thresholds tha
