Biphasic insulin secretion, which fails in type 2 diabetes, can be provoked by various nutrient stimuli, glucose being the superior physiological one. To identify pathways that may play a role in β-cell stimulus-secretion coupling, we compared β-cell and islet functional, secretory, and metabolic responses to glucose and 2-aminobicyclo-(2,2,1)-heptane-2-carboxylic acid (BCH), a leucine analog, tha

Objectives To investigate the effect of precarious employment (PE) on the risk of diagnosed chronic musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among Swedish workers in occupations with strenuous working conditions. Methods This nationwide register-based cohort study included workers registered as living in Sweden in 2005, aged 21-60 at the 2010 baseline. Three samples were included: workers with high biomec
The promotion of hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (HFCEVs) is of great significance for reducing carbon emissions and strengthening environmental protection effects. However, the temperature drop occurred during discharging, becomes a key safety hazard for the reliable operation of HFCEVs. In this study, a type IV hydrogen storage tank with a pressure of 70 MPa is adopted to research the therm
The incorporation of inorganic lithium superionic conductors in polymer/ceramic composite electrolytes has been frequently proposed since this approach is expected to take advantage of the high ionic conductivities of the lithium superionic conductors and the elasticity of the polymer constituents of the composites. Nevertheless, the properties and mechanisms of polymer/ceramic composite electroly
Northern mires are significant natural sources of atmospheric methane (CH4), yet estimating CH4 emissions remains challenging due to their complex spatio-temporal dynamics. While eddy covariance (EC) measurements provide valuable insights into ecosystem-scale CH4 fluxes (FCH4) over mire areas typically < 0.05 km², the predictability of FCH4 at the mesoscale (∼0.5 – 20 km²) of a mire complex based
Susceptibility testing of clinical multidrug-resistant (MDR) and reference P. aeruginosa strains was performed using the standard twofold serial dilution method. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of antiseptics were determined. MIC and MBC values were also interpreted as the bacteriostatic index of antiseptic activity (BSIAA) and the bactericid
Introduction: Galectin-3 is a pro-fibrotic β-galactoside binding lectin highly expressed in fibrotic liver and implicated in hepatic fibrosis. Selvigaltin (previously known as GB1211) is a novel orally active galectin-3 small molecule inhibitor that has high affinity for galectin-3 (human KD = 25 nM; rabbit KD = 12 nM) and high oral bioavailability in rabbits and man. In this study the efficacy of
Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are used in a range of industrial applications and have largely replaced previously used gases (CFCs and HCFCs). HFCs are not ozone-depleting but have large global warming potentials and are, therefore, reported to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Here, we use four independent inverse models to estimate European emissions of the two HFCs
Ekonomisk ersättning till brottsoffer kan ta olika former och betalas av olika aktörer. De regler som avgör ersättningens storlek föreskriver ibland jämkning eller sänkning av beloppet på diverse grunder. Denna jämkning kan av brottsoffer potentiellt upplevas som en “sekundär viktimisering”. I detta arbete kartläggs grunderna för jämkning av ersättning till brottsoffer i svensk rätt och analyserasMonetary compensation to victims of crime can take different forms and be paid by different actors. The rules for calculating the compensation sometimes mandate reduction of the amount awarded for various reasons. This reduction can potentially be experienced by victims as a “secondary victimisation”. In the present work, the factors behind reduction of victim compensation in Swedish law and what
ABSTRACT Author: Mimoza Polisi Supervisor: Lina Ponnert Title: “What does a child perspective mean?” The purpose of this study is to understand and analyze the meaning of child perspective from a social worker perspective. My questions were: What does a child perspective mean for social workers? What potential opportunities are social workers experiencing to use a child perspective? What possib
The aim of the present study was to investigate the background, efficacy and theories behind a parent education program. I came in contact with this program during my practical fifth semester at the Bureau of Family Treatment in Lund. The training program originates from the United Kingdom, where it was called Mellow Parenting. The goal of the parent education is to enhance parent-child relationsh
The law (1988:870) concerning care of substance abusers is constructed in a way that gives the social workers room to interpret and apply the law individually. This may contribute to differences in treatment between female and male substance abusers. The purpose of the essay was to investigate whether the client's gender had any significance to how the social worker interpret and apply the law
Lobbying in the European Union (EU) is a highly discussed and disputed phenomena. The main focus on lobbying in the EU is concerned with how and why lobbyists interact with institutional actors, rather than exploring both sides of the occurrence. The aim of this thesis is to explore and compare whether the European Commission and the European Parliament have different demands for lobbying input. T
Sverige utmanas av den allvarliga våldsbrottsligheten i kriminella nätverk. Statistik från Polismyndigheten visar att skjutningar och sprängningar har ökat de senaste åren, likaså det dödliga våldet. För att hämma den brotts-liga utvecklingen har samarbetspartierna i Tidöavtalet kommit överens om att ett antal reformer ska genomföras. En av dessa är lag (2024:7) om pre-ventiva vistelseförbud, som
Sammanfattning Titel: Snögubben vaknar till liv Arbetet problematiserar och belyser mitt arbetssätt inför min gestaltning som ”Snögubben” (Snowman) i Rusty Magees musikalopera ”Vinteryra” (Flurry tale). Arbetet problematiserar framför allt den klassiska sångarens utmaning i att gestalta roller inom andra genrers än opera. Med hjälp av källor i form av egna intervjuer och inspelade historiska Title: The snowman comes to life This lecture recital problematizes and explores my approach in Rusty Magees musical opera “Flurry tale”. The lecture recital primarily problematizes challenges for the classically trained singers performing roles outside of the opera genre. By the help of sources such as conducted interviews and historical recordings I present vocal approaches to performing in
In recent years, the Multi-Pass Cell (MPC) has been increasingly employed and researched upon, after emerging as a promising post-compression technique for making ultrafast laser pulses shorter. Like most post-compression techniques, MPCs utilize a nonlinear effect, Self-Phase Modulation (SPM), which stems from the intensity-dependence of the refractive index of certain nonlinear materials, to ove
Denna uppsats undersöker de levda erfarenheterna hos japanska migranter i Sverige, en grupp som omfattar cirka 4 600 individer, varav nästan 80 procent har valt att permanent bosätta sig i Sverige. De återstående 20 procenten är tillfälliga invånare, som studenter, forskare eller utstationerade chefer, verksamma i något av de cirka 200 japanskägda företagen i landet. Till skillnad från andra europThis thesis explores the lived experiences of Japanese migrants to Sweden, a demographic that includes approximately 4,600 individuals, of whom nearly 80 percent chose to settle permanently in Sweden. The remaining 20 percent are temporary residents, as students, researchers, or as expatriate managers, working in one of the roughly 200 Japanese-owned companies in the country. In contrast to other
Att vi har religionsfrihet i Sverige innebär att var och en ska ha frihet att ensam eller tillsammans med andra utöva sin religion. I denna frihet ingår också rätten att inneha en religion. Utövandet av rättigheten sammanfaller ofta med utövandet av andra friheter, exempelvis yttrandefriheten. Så är fallet när någon uttalar sig i en religiös kontext eller med religiösa förtecken. Denna uppsats tarFreedom of religion as prescribed in The Instrument of Government gives freedom to one and all to exercise their religion solely or together with others, along with the right to hold a religious belief. The exercise of this freedom to exercise one’s religious belief often coincides with the exercise of other freedoms, such as the freedom of expression. That is the case when someone in the context
