Background: Healthy lifestyles are inversely associated with the risk of noncommunicable diseases, which are leading causes of death. However, few studies have used longitudinal data to assess the impact of changing lifestyle behaviours on all-cause and cancer mortality. Methods: Within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) cohort, lifestyle profiles of 308,497 ca
Abstract in UndeterminedThe digital age has brought with it advantages and disadvantages. Few would deny the benefit of being able to store entire song collections on pocket-sized MP3 players. Fewer still would disregard the merits of grandparents in Sydney being able to have face-to-face conversations with grandchildren in Berlin.Certain problems however, have also developed. The music and film i
Fluorescence spectroscopy has been applied to clinical tumour detection and to rmcroscopy. The fluorescence properties of biological tissue have been investigated within two clinical projects in order to discriminate tumours from normal surrounding tissue. Clinical studies have been performed on brain tumours in collaboration with the Department of Neurosurgery in Linkoping, and on urinary bladde
We have used a rat model of Parkinson's disease (PD) to address issues of importance for a future clinical application of dopamine (DA) neuron grafting in patients with PD. Human mesencephalic DA neurons, obtained from 6.5-8 week old fetuses, were found to survive intracerebral cell suspension xenografting to the striatum of rats immunosuppressed with Cyclosporin A. The grafts produced an extensiv
For triangles with linear vertex motion, common practice is to backface cull a triangle if it is backfacing at both the start and end of the motion. However, this is not conservative. We derive conservative tests that guarantee that a moving triangle is backfacing over an entire time interval and over the area of a lens. In addition, we present tests for the special cases of only motion blur and o
Technological advancements in mobile computing and wireless networks open up to new applications and new user-groups in the mobile workforce However, a considerable part of the mobile workforce, such as e g drivers or healthcare staff, is chiefly performing other tasks than interacting with their computers As a result. they are not able to pay attention to computer interaction, making them mainly
Although it is often emphasized that the matrix of bone grafts contains several growth factors, it is not known if these factors become activated and play a role in bone grafting. We therefore compared ground defatted bone which had or had not been deproteinized by heating with water to 270 degrees C at an autogenic pressure of 55 bar. This is a careful ceramic procedure which leaves the mineral u
Vid en historisk översikt av den Europeiska historien från 1900-talets början och framåt kan man se att kvinnor setts av det europeiska samhället som framförallt mödrar som skall ta hand om hemmet. Detta har visat sig genom samhällets, och Europadomstolens diskurs. Från det att kvinnor lämnade hemmet och började deltidsarbeta, och senare heltidsarbeta, så har denna syn succesivt förändrats. Vid t
According to certain researchers, such as Meisel (2008), a child has a similar way of acquiring a second language (cL2 learners) as adults (aL2 learners) do after the age of four. However, the difference of age and cognitive maturation between an adult and a child awakes ones curiousness of investigating how much the linguistic development of a cL2 learner resembles the one of aL2 learners. This s
Mother Abuse in the Eyes of the Social Services - a Qualitative Study of Violence and Parenting The purpose of this study was to examine how Child Protection workers understand the dynamics of parenting within a relationship that entails Domestic Violence, and to highlight how they understand the needs of the children in these families. Interviews were carried out with four female Child Protectio
Epilepsy is a prevalent neurological disorder characterized by spontaneous recurrent seizures (SRS). Epileptogenesis is a multifaceted pathophysiological process that transforms a normal brain into one prone to chronic seizures. Targeting epileptogenesis is a compelling line of epilepsy therapy. Thus, discovering new drugs that oppose, mitigate, or modify epileptogenesis is a significant challenge
Forskningsstrategi för institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi (Fastställd av institutionsstyrelsen 2014 03 04) Introduction The past two decades, and perhaps especially the period since the early 2000s, has involved a set of shifts in the research carried out at the Department. In short there has been a move away from intra-disciplinary, in-house, small-scale projects involving re

During the past ten years, Sweden's security policy has undergone a clear change, where key events have been Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and, most recently, Sweden's entry into NATO in 2024. The focus on issues such as national security and military rearmament have increased. The essay discusses how a perceived need to improve resilience has put requirements on the population
This master’s thesis has been conducted in collaboration with Remote Aero. The aim is to determine important design principles when developing an interface to be used for drone control in emergency situations. To determine the end user, an interview was conducted with the stakeholder. The end user was defined as an individual that works as a sea rescue volunteer at the Swedish Sea Rescue Society w
Despite Sweden having implemented strict laws against child abuse and adopting the Convention on the Rights of the Child into law, child abuse remains a significant societal issue. Although it is clear that legal changes play a role in strengthening the protection and rights of children, legislation and actual circumstances do not always align. This study aimed to highlight different experiences o
Planar antennae have become very popular owing to their relative ease of manufacture and unobtrusive nature (they are conformal to surfaces) especially with regard to certain devices such as smart phones, watches and fitness gadgets. Although the fractional bandwidth of planar antennae is small, the actual bandwidth in absolute terms is high owing to the higher centre frequencies used and proves u
