Objectives: To describe the contribution of highly processed foods to total diet, nutrient intakes and patterns among 27 redefined centres in the 10 countries participating in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). Methods: Single 24-hour dietary recalls were collected from 36 034 individuals (aged 35-74 years) using a standardized computerized interview programme
Objectives To study clinical predictors for radiographic progression after 1 year in an early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) trial. Methods In the SWEFOT trial population, disease modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) naive RA patients started methotrexate; 3-month responders (DAS28 <3.2) continued (n=147), while non-responders were randomised to addition of sulfasalazine +hydroxychloroquine (n=130) or
Background: Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is recognised as a clinically and morphologically heterogeneous group of interrelated neurodegenerative conditions. One of the subtypes within this disease spectrum is the behavioural variant FTD (bvFTD). This is known to be a varied disorder with a mixture of tau-positive and tau-negative underlying pathologies. The other subtypes include semantic dementi
Popular Abstract in Swedish All materia består av atomer. Avhandlingen du just nu läser är uppbyggd av atomer; till och med du själv är uppbyggd av atomer. En kemist är intresserad av vilka atomer som hänger ihop för att bilda molekyler och hur dessa molekyler kan sammanfogas till fasta material. Man kan likna det vid att molekylerna är en byggsten som då de sammanfogas bildar en byggnadskonstruktHow do molecules arrange themselves in a crystal? It is today not possible to definite predict the three-dimensional packing arrangement of molecules in the crystalline solid state. The aim of the work presented in this thesis has been to gain more knowledge of what principles that govern molecular packing. Platinum(II) complexes have been chosen as model system since these compounds are stable,
För många människor är förmodligen fastighetsköpet en av de största affärerna de någonsin kommer att genomföra och det är således viktigt att det blir som de tänkt sig. Det är inte alls säkert att en presumtiv köpare kalkylerat för eventuella brister i fastigheten i sin budget och upptäcks då ett fel efter köpet kan köparen hamna i en mycket komplicerad situation. Vid varje fastighetsaffär finnsFor a lot of people, the real property purchase is probably one of the most important business deals they will ever do and therefore it is important that the property will be as they have expected. It´s not certain that the purchaser has calculated in his budget for defects in the property. If the purchaser later discovers a defect in the property, he may end up in a very complicated situation. I
Uppsatsen handlar om ogiltigförklaring och skadestånd inom ramen för ämnet tvister om uppsägnings- och avskeds giltighet. Uppsatsen använder en kombination av rättsdogmatisk och rättsanalytisk metod. Syftet med uppsatsen är att klargöra, problematisera och jämföra gällande rätt med LAS-utredningens- och överenskommelsens förslag inom ramen för uppsatsens ämne. Syftet är vidare att analysera potent
This study uses a specifically constructed sub-national dataset on Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak cases, deaths, and CFR in order to look at the question of how important various socio-economic factors were in determining the intensity and severity of the 2013-2016 EVD outbreak in Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone. The results of the OLS model shows that the socio-economic conditions in differ
Vi lever i en allt mer internationaliserad och globaliserad värld. Detta har lett till att skatteregleringar inte har hängt med, vilket i sin tur har öppnat vägar för skatteundandraganden och skatteflykt. För att stoppa detta gav G20-länderna i uppdrag till OECD att ta fram en plan för att förhindra intäktsförflyttningar och därmed även erodering av länders skattebaser. Denna plan kom att kallas ”We are living in a more international and global world than ever before and issues with international tax have never been so many. Because of this international tax rules have not kept up and the weaknesses in the current rules creates opportunities for base erosion and profit shifting. To prevent this G20 countries mandated OECD to adopt an Action Plan to address this problem. The Action plan cam
The development of the renewable energy sources and the amount installations in Sweden and also in other countries have increased a lot the last years, this is especially true for solar- and wind power. Main reason for the increase of the renewable energy sources is to decrease the usage of fossil fuels and thus to decrease the impact on the climate. The integration of the renewable energy sources
The aim of the study is to critically review the Swedish government's views on Swedish research by examining a researsch policy through a discourse analysis based on Carol Bacchi's WPR method. The material consists of the Swedish government's research proposition "Kunskap i samverkan, för samhällets utmaningar och stärkt konkurrenskraft". The analysis focuses on identifying w
In 2008 the National Library of Sweden made a decision to change the Swedish classification system SAB to the internationally used Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), a decision that was supported by the Swedish Library Association that recommended all Swedish libraries to make the change. The main reasons and arguments were internationalisation and rationalisation; less time should be laid on cla
Overheating in buildings is becoming a major concern and cause for various health issues. Existing research and previous studies on the issue were examined to acquire relevant information about the definition of overheating, its possible causes, and the heath impacts it could have on human health. The review included data on the current status of thermal comfort and overheating regulations in Swed
Background: Pressure from volatile fossil fuel prices, an increased awareness of climate change and technological advances has resulted in a changing relationship between utility companies and their customers and has created a demand for more efficient and controllable electricity products and services. Smart services are seen as a tool to meet the demands of the market and to encourage consumers
Background: Early initiation of breastfeeding offers nutritional and immunological benefits to the newborn, which is critical for health and survival. Understanding factors associated with timely initiation of breastfeeding is crucial for healthcare providers and policy-makers. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and factors associated with early initiation of breastfeeding among mothers wit
We report a novel approach for single-shot planar imaging of CH3 radicals in premixed methane and air flames. A 213 nm beam from the 5th harmonic of an Nd:YAG laser was resonantly absorbed by the CH3 radicals, which were excited to the highly pre-dissociative upper level and dissociated to H2 and CH (X), as the main dissociation channel. The CH radicals were consequently excited by a 388 nm beam f
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is common in adults with coronary artery disease (CAD). OSA that occurs predominantly during rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep has been identified as a specific phenotype (REM-predominant OSA) in sleep clinic cohorts. We aimed to examine the association of REM-predominant OSA with excessive sleepiness, functional outcomes, mood, and quality of life in a CAD cohort, of wh
Objectives: In patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) initiating their first tumor necrosis factor alpha-inhibitor (TNFi), we aimed to identify common baseline predictors of Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS-CRP) inactive disease (primary objective) and clinically important improvement (CII) at 6 months, and drug retention at 12-months across 15 European registries. Metho
