Consumption of sugar has been relatively high in the Nordic countries; the impact of sugar intake on metabolic risk factors and related diseases has been debated. The objectives were to assess the effect of sugar intake (sugar-sweetened beverages, sucrose and fructose) on association with type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and related metabolic risk factors (impaired glucose tolerance, insuli
Contributions of changes in soil moisture to the projected climate change in the tropics at the end of the twenty first century are quantified using the simulations from five different global climate models, which contributed to the GLACE–CMIP5 experiment. “GLACE” refers to the Global Land Atmosphere Coupling Experiment and “CMIP5” to the fifth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project. T
The oxidation of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) gives a range of products, from semi-volatile to extremely low-volatility compounds. To treat the interaction of these secondary organic vapours with the particle phase, global aerosol microphysics models generally use either a thermodynamic partitioning approach (assuming instant equilibrium between semi-volatile oxidation products and
Strongly σ-donating N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) have revived research interest in the catalytic chemistry of iron, and are now also starting to bring the photochemistry and photophysics of this abundant element into a new era. In this work, The efficient synthesis of a heteroleptic Fe(II) complex (1) is based on sequentially furnishing the Fe(II) center with the benchmark 2,2'-bipyridine (bpy)
The aim of the study was to investigate the resting levels of novel cardiovascular biomarkers in common types of noncardiac syncope.
We sought to identify novel pharmacogenetic markers associated with cardiovascular outcomes in patients with hypertension on antihypertensive therapy. We genotyped a 1:4 case:control cohort (n=1345) on the Illumina HumanCVD Beadchip from the INternational VErapamil SR-Trandolapril STudy (INVEST), where participants were randomized to a -blocker strategy or a calcium channel blocker strategy. Genom
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a leading cause of chronic liver disease in Western countries. Diagnosis of NASH requires a liver biopsy. We estimated the prevalence of NASH non-invasively in a population-based study using scores validated against liver histology.
Context Agricultural transformation and increased land use intensity often lead to simplified landscapes and biodiversity loss. For animals, one possible mechanism underpinning biodiversity loss in agricultural landscapes is the disruption of movements. The disruption of movements may explain, for example, why butterfly communities in agricultural landscapes are often dominated by generalist speci
In Swedish, adverbials mainly occur in two positions in the clause: postverbally (last in the clause) or medially (before the finite verb in subordinate clauses and after the finite verb but before e.g. infinite verbs in main clauses). VP adverbials are said to have their natural position postverbally, but they can also be placed medially. This thesis examines factors that influence the placement
This project is a collaboration with Electrolux, KTH Royal Institute of Technology and the School of Industrial Design (Lund University). The goal of the project was to investigate new ways of cooling an individual, to ultimately result in a product proposal. We have all experienced heat waves in the summer, which can affect us even in our homes. In addition, typical home activities such as cleani
The archivist Martin Grass defines personal archives as that they do not have to adapt to guidelines when it comes to the culling or preservation of the material, the submitting of the material to an archive is not done directly after the material is created or collected and that they often concern broader subjects. In this thesis I study the creator of the personal archives and the driving forces
I denna C-uppsats undersöker jag hur svensk folkmusik- och dans kan berika rytmikmetoden. Rytmikmetoden är mitt huvudämne och utgångspunkten för studien och uppsatsen innehåller därför en historisk översikt över rytmikmetodens utveckling från grundaren Jaques-Dalcroze till idag. Jag förklarar även grundläggande principer, metod och innehåll i rytmikmetoden för att göra jämförelsen med undervisningTitle: Music in motion- An interview study on how Swedish folk music and dance can enrich the method of Eurythmics. In this essay I examine how Swedish folk music and dance can enrich the Eurythmics method. Eurythmics is the starting point for the study and the paper contains a historical overview of Eurythmics, the development from the founder Jaques-Dalcroze to the teaching method of Eurytmics i
Denna uppsats handlar om en grupp flyktingar som blivit utsatta för etnisk rensning av bosnienserbiska soldater under kriget i Ljubija, en stad i nordvästra Bosnien. Flyktingarna är bosnienmuslimer och bosnienkroater till sin etnicitet. Efter kriget har de återvänt till Ljubija som nu kontrolleras av bosnienserber. Syftet med uppsatsen är att försöka upptäcka och beskriva de problematiska sociala
This paper investigates if liquidity (or illiquidity) is a factor influencing returns on the Swedish stock market during the period of January 2001 to December of 2010. The time-series effects of illiquidity as well as differences in the effects of illiquidity across stocks with different characteristics are investigated. In addition, the paper addresses the question of whether sensitivity of stoc
Civilkurage är ett flitigt debatterat område i Sverige, och trots att de flesta av våra grannländer har lagstiftning om en allmän handlingsplikt att bistå en nödställd person har Sverige valt att inte införa en sådan. Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att belysa de olika problem som lagstiftaren ställs inför vid ett eventuellt införande av en civilkuragelag. Uppsatsen redogör för hur gällande rätt är
This study investigated if copeptin is affected by high salt intake and whether any salt-induced changes in copeptin are related to the degree of salt sensitivity. The study was performed on 20 men and 19 women. In addition to meals containing 50 mmol NaCl daily, capsules containing 100 mmol NaCl and corresponding placebo capsules were administered during 4 weeks each, in random order. Measurement
We investigated causal effect of completed growth, measured by adult height, on coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke and cardiovascular traits, using instrumental variable (IV) Mendelian randomization meta-analysis.
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Our aim was to study whether glycaemic control differs between individuals with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) and patients with type 2 diabetes, and whether it is influenced by time on insulin therapy. METHODS: We performed a retrospective study of 372 patients with LADA (205 men and 167 women; median age 54 years, range 35-80 years) from Swedish cohorts from Skåne (
