Validation of gene × environment interaction results from epidemiological studies in randomized clinical trials (RCTs) is usually hampered by insufficient statistical power. Genotype-based recall (GBR) refers to the design of studies in which subgroups of the population are selected based on their genotypes. In this thesis we test if a GBR approach of recruiting two groups of participants with dis
Energipålar är grundläggningspålar kombinerade med kollektorslangar som används som vertikala markvärmeväxlare. De har sedan 1980-talet använts i Centraleuropa, och används även frekvent i England. I Sverige har energipålar ännu inte slagit igenom, men de större byggföretagen börjar nu intressera sig för denna typ av grundläggning. En fördel med energipålar jämfört med konventionella bergvärmebruEnergy piles are deep foundation piles combined with collector pipes. They are used as vertical ground heat exchangers, and have been used since the 1980s in Central Europe and frequently in England. Energy piles have not yet had its breakthrough in Sweden, but right now the bigger construction companies have turned their eyes to this type of deep foundation. One advantage with energy piles, when
The EES, Lisbon and Europe 2020 are the most relevant soft law strategies promoting the improvement of work-family reconciliation-related policies in the EU Member States. In this study, the cases of the German Elterngeld reforms are applied to scrutinise the influences of these three strategies on domestic policy-making. Thus, this research work is based on the theoretical framework of soft Europ

However, at the other side of the world, another form of nationalism, one seldom discussed, is seemingly growing in strength and consequences – the Buddhi
It has been shown that during certain steps in the packaging process, the paperboard is prone to forming in-plane cracks. Hence, it is proposed to establish a model that can simulate failure in paperboard in order to get a better understanding of the mechanisms and ultimately, prevent any cracks from initiating. The thesis begins with some introductory chapters which describes the background of t
The ability of law to govern the internet continues to be doubted by many activists. Yet there are still calls from many to sanction actors believed to be construing the freedom of the internet. One popular call has been for net neutrality, aiming to stop Internet Service Providers from customizing traffic for different services. But is legal action the only tool we have to regulate a thing? Lawr
Joint Operations at the external borders of the EU are axiomatic for EU’s border management policy and constitute forms of collective action involving the efforts of two or more Member States for the purpose of securing the common borders.
