Recent advances in proteomic technologies have made high throughput profiling of low abundance proteins in large epidemiological cohorts increasingly feasible. We investigated whether aptamer-based proteomic profiling could identify biomarkers associated with future development of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) beyond known risk factors. We identified dozens of markers with highly significant associations

In this article I explore the different and changing meanings of the concept “privat” in records from the Swedish Riksdag (state assembly) from the sixteenth to the beginning of the eighteenth century. I analyze how the concept was used in different contexts, such as questions concerning e.g. private and public religious practices, relations between individuals and communities, and relations betweIn this article I explore the different and changing meanings of the concept “privat” in records from the Swedish Riksdag (state assembly) from the sixteenth to the beginning of the eighteenth century.

Background: Women with breast cancer have different chances of surviving their disease, depending on where they live. Variations in survival may stem from unequal access to prompt diagnosis, treatment and care. Implementation of the right to health may help remedy such inequalities. The right to health is enshrined in international human rights law, notably Article 12 of the International Covenant

Health information system (HIS) refers to a data collection and management system that supports the use of health information for planning, management and decision making. Robust HISs are required for the proper management of health data to produce and share high-quality health information for informing planning and decision making at different levels of the health system. This chapter presents th

The advent of optogenetic tools has had a profound impact on modern neuroscience research, revolutionizing our understanding of the brain. These tools offer a remarkable ability to precisely manipulate specific groups of neurons with an unprecedented level of temporal precision, on the order of milliseconds. This breakthrough has significantly advanced our knowledge of various physiological and pa

Deltidsanställning är vanligt förekommande inom branscher som vård, handel och service, där arbetskraftsbehovet ofta varierar. Samtidigt aktualiserar del-tidsarbete frågor om rättvisa och skydd mot diskriminering. Denna uppsats behandlar frågan om det är förenligt med diskrimineringsförbudet att inte utge samma tillägg vid mertidsarbete som vid övertidsarbete. Uppsatsen tar utgångspunkt i förbudetPart-time employment is common in sectors such as health care, retail and service, where the need of labour often varies. At the same time, part-time employment raises issues of fairness and protection against discrimination. This thesis addresses the question of whether it is compatible with the prohi-bition of discrimination to grant lower additional pay for part-time employees working extra hou
