OBJECTIVE: The potential association between thyroid hormones and breast cancer has been investigated in a large number of studies without conclusive results. This study investigated T3 levels in relation to breast cancer mortality in a population with no breast cancer patients at baseline. An additional aim was to study T3 levels in relation to mortality from other cancers and all-cause mortality

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Few modifiable risk factors have been implicated in the etiology of pancreatic cancer. There is little evidence for the effects of caffeinated coffee, decaffeinated coffee, or tea intake on risk of pancreatic cancer. We investigated the association of total coffee, caffeinated coffee, decaffeinated coffee, and tea consumption with risk of pancreatic cancer. METHODS: This stu

Various ecosystems, including shallow lakes, are suggested to possess alternative stable state dynamics. The response of such systems to environmental change is non-linear and not fully reversible, which calls for identification of feedback mechanisms and subtle changes connected to structural stability. Here, we used a 25-year data series on water chemistry to make inferences on processes prior t

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by recurrent episodes of potentially life-threatening angioedema. The most widespread underlying genetic deficiency is a heterozygous deficiency of the serine protease inhibitor Cl esterase inhibitor (C1-Inh). In addition to low C4 levels, the most important laboratory parameter for correct diagnosis of HAE or angioedema du

This thesis investigates whether national amnesties for war crimes constitute an inadmissibility ground for a case in the International Criminal Court (hereinafter the ICC). The essence of this problem lies in the conflict between State sovereignty and international cooperation in the fight against impunity for war crimes and consequently between bilateral obligations and obligations erga omnes. M

As systems become increasingly more complex, it is doubtful that conventional models of accident investigation can provide insight into accidents which occur in these complex systems. In safety science this problem has been recognized, and accident models using a systems approach have been developed to illuminate these complex systems. However, they have not been widely applied in the railway sect

While carbon emissions hit an all-time high in 2019 and are expected to grow, it is important to explore strategies for reducing emissions and mitigating climate change. A potential focus for curbing emissions is the flying sector, since air travel is one of the most carbon-intensive activities an individual can engage in. Among air travelers, frequent flyers yield the highest potential for saving

Visual search efficiency improves with repeated exposure to the same search problem, yet the mechanisms behind these search efficiency gains remain unclear. Investigating how eye-movement sequences evolve over repeated viewings is fundamental for understanding how skilful search develops over time and its role in learning and gaining expertise. Scanpath theory holds that repeated displays are inve

In the early 1990s, the Swedish Cancer Foundation initiated a large cohort study with the primary goal of investigating the relationship between diet and subsequent cancer risk. The study was led by Professor of Internal Medicine, Göran Berglund, and Professor of Epidemiology, Lars Janzon. Between 1991 and 1996, in all 17,000 women (born 1923-1950) and 11,000 men (born 1923-1945) were recruited, w

Background: The demographic change affects the retirement age, which has been postponed in many countries. Therefore, the number of senior employees is increasing in the world. However, managers’ attitudes towards their employees’ employability affect the employees’ possibilities regarding whether they can and want to work. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate managers’ attitudes towar

Popular Abstract in English At our workplace, at home, and on the road, we rely on software. It has become one of the central technologies on which we base our society. Yet, software is perhaps the major technology that is understood the least by the general population. Most software today is written in languages that requires the programmer to specify not only what is to be achieved, but also hoWriting efficient parallel programs is the biggest challenge of the software industry for the foreseeable future. We are currently in a time when parallel computers are the norm, not the exception. Soon, parallel processors will be standard even in cell phones. Without drastic changes in hardware development, all software must be parallelized to its fullest extent. Parallelism can increase perfor

The increased volume of solid waste and associated logistical difficulties, the steady growth in the cost of waste management and the risk to human health are sources of concern.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det romerska triumftåget var en segerprocession som paraderade in i och genom staden Rom efter varje segerrikt fälttåg. I tåget leddes byten och fångar av många olika slag samt avbildningar av erövrade platser och folkslag som tillverkats för processionen. Avhandlingen analyserar dessa uttryck för ”den andre” och diskuterar hur triumftåget både reflekterade och skapade The triumphal procession staged Roman conquest and supremacy, featuring the defeated ‘other’ as opposed to the victorious ‘self’ in a rather fixed role-playing. This thesis takes as its theoretical premise that these ritually recurrent and visually emphatic processions both conveyed and constructed Roman views of the self and the other, and that they can be studied as formative expressions of such
