Popular Abstract in Swedish Vid Typ 1 diabetes mellitus (insulinberoende, [ungdoms]) förlorar kroppen förmågan att tillverka insulin, det hormon som styr upptaget av socker i kroppens celler. Insulinet bildas av bukspottskörtelns hormonproducerande betaceller, och Typ 1 diabetes orsakas av att dessa celler skadas och förstörs. Denna skadeprocess anses idag i de flesta fall förmedlas av kroppens egAutoantibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase (GADA), protein tyrosine-phosphatase-like protein (IAÐ2A), and/or pancreatic islet cells (ICA) are autoimmune markers usually present at diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is therefore in general believed to be caused by an immune-mediated beta cell destruction. In children this destruction is fast, whereas in adult patients Type 1 diab

The citations of highly cited papers in the life sciences published in 1986 and 2000 was examined to determine the extent to which early impact predicts long term impact. Linear correlation between early and post-peak impact was found to be about 0.7

Fundamental issues on discovery and disclosure of evidence

The present study is concerned with the impact of psychological factors, particularly character traits and attitudes, on the traffic accident patterns of young drivers. 101 drivers completed a questionnaire consisting of 206 questions and statements. Factor analysis was used to identify and eliminate non-significant test items, leaving 70 statements defining 14 distinct traits. Age and sex were sh

Bakgrund: Antalet personer som drabbas av demenssjukdomar ökar kraftigt och anhöriga till dessa påverkas i vardagen på olika sätt, vilket kan påverka deras hälsa. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka upplevelsen av aktivitetsbalans hos anhöriga till personer med demens. Metod: Data inhämtades genom en fokusgrupp vid två upprepade tillfällen med 5 deltagare. En riktad innehållsanalys ge

The legitimacy of the judiciary hinges on the presumption that truth can be found through the judicial process. Even though a distinction can be made between "truth" in a legal sense and "real truth", the legal truth can only be justified by its anchorage in "real truth". During the last few decades, the previosly all-powerful assumption of the objective nature of reality and knowledge has been ch

På särskilda ungdomshem tvångsvårdas barn och unga i Statens institutionsstyrelses (SiS) regi. Personalen på ungdomshemmen har särskilda befogenheter vilket motiveras av de placerade barnen och ungas omfattande problematik. Tvångsåtgärderna inskränker emellertid barn och ungas fri- och rättigheter. Barnkonventionen inkorporerades i svensk lag i syfte att stärka och tydliggöra barn och ungas ställThe special residential homes for young people that are run by the national board of institutional care (SiS) provide children and young people compulsory care. The staff at the special residential homes have the right to use coercive measures which is motivated by the children and young people’s extensive problems. The coercive measures however restrict the freedoms and rights of the children and

The last two decades have seen a significant increase in the number and quality of cross-national measures of institutions, which are also covering longer and longer time spans. However, despite the considerable progress that has been made, important measurement issues linger. This chapter argues that the key future challenge for the measurement of institutions is how to square objective or direct

We propose data-driven surrogate models to solve systems of time-dependent differential equations coupled with noise. Using a feedforward neural network, we separately learn the noise and solution, tackling approximations across regimes with bifurcations and rare events. Focusing on irregular data generated by a stochastic noise model on a one-dimensional spatial lattice coupled to a differential

INTRODUCTION: Social prescribing (SP) is an innovative model that connects individuals to non-clinical community resources. However, its uptake and evaluation have been hindered by inconsistent role definitions for key stakeholders. Although recent studies have refined SP definitions, outside the UK, the responsibilities, educational backgrounds and training requirements of social prescribing link

The aim of the present study was to determine the pollution load originating from storm water on Lake Vaxjosjon. Each year about 1,050,000 m3 of storm water are discharged into the lake. Storm water represents a substantial pollution source for the lake and therefore also a main reason for the hypertrophic conditions in the lake. In order to evaluate the effects of the discharged storm water on th

Background: Strong evidence suggests that suicide attempters who repeatsuicide (re-attempters) may differ from those with a single attempt (singleattempters) in various clinical and sociodemographic factors. Furthermore, thereis some evidence that re-attempters may be characterized by higher levels ofneuroticism, a well-known risk factor for completed suicide compared to singleattempters.Purpose:

Nonclusion is aligned with Universal Design and involves a critical approach to the categorisation of people. Specifically, nonclusion resists categorisations of bodies/roles and does not come with predefined or presupposed limits in terms of who something is meant for. While UD and nonclusion generally target Design and Architecture, this article explores how nonclusion can be conveyed through te
