We found marked improvement of glucose tolerance and lower dietary energy intake in ischemic heart disease (IHD) patients after advice to follow a Paleolithic diet, as compared to a Mediterranean-like diet. We now report findings on subjective ratings of satiety at meals and data on the satiety hormone leptin and the soluble leptin receptor from the same study.
The work presented in this thesis can be divided into the three following fields of investigation: First of all the ionization model developed in this thesis is meant to simulate the thermal ionization process or the so-called second peak. Equilibrium assumptions have been adopted for the modeling of the thermal ionization, in which Saha’s equation was derived for singly ionized molecules. The inv
Telavancin is a novel bactericidal lipoglycopeptide with multiple mechanisms of action against gram-positive pathogens. The aim of this study was to describe the dynamics of the antimicrobial effect of telavancin against two strains of Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin susceptible and methicillin resistant) in an in vitro kinetic model with simulated human pharmacokinetics. Also, static experimen
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop an understanding of how patients experience their health problems and how they can generate innovative ideas about health care services. The research questions that guide the present study are: how can solicited diaries be used for capturing patient ideas? What type of data is generated from solicited diaries used for generating patient ideas? And
Plasma levels of pancreatic and intestinal enzymes were measured after pancreatic duct ligation (PDL) to monitor pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) in a model using young pigs.
The article presents a synthesis of data from three village case studies focusing on how structural and cognitive social capital may have influenced the progression of the HIV epidemic in the Kagera region of Tanzania. Grounded theory was used to develop a theoretical model describing the possible links between structural and cognitive social capital and the impact on sexual health behaviours. Foc
Ion beam analysis techniques are now well established as research tools for a broad range of multidisciplinary scientific fields. The ability to focus an ion beam down to micrometer size has expanded and strengthened the capability of IBA techniques to a higher level. A new field “Nuclear microprobe (NMP) analysis” has been developed over the past decades, in which most IBA techniques are used and
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen behandlar robotteknik och de nya möjligheter som den kan ge människor med rörelsehinder. Jag fokuserar på teknikanvändaren och teknikanvändningen, speciellt på vad som gör robothjälpmedel värda att använda. Distinktion görs mellan användvärdhet och användbarhet. Erfarenheter från användning av den rullstolsmonterade robotarmen Manus visar att tekniska kravThis thesis deals with robotics and the new possibilities it offers people with physical disabilities. I focus on the user and the use of the technology and, in particular, on what makes robotic aids worth using - useworthiness as distinguished from usability. User experience of the wheelchair-mounted Manus manipulator shows that robotic arms must meet technical requirements in terms of accelerat
The Siemens gas turbine SGT-800 is the largest industrial gas turbine produced by Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery (SIT) offering a dry low emission (DLE) capability below 15 ppm NOx. It has a very high reliability using an annular combustor system with passive damping and 30 DLE burners. To obtain a greater understanding of the mixing process and the flame dynamics and in order to further reduce
Psychiatric and metabolic features appear several years before motor disturbances in the neurodegenerative Huntington's disease (HD), caused by an expanded CAG repeat in the huntingtin (HTT) gene. Although the mechanisms leading to these aspects are unknown, dysfunction in the hypothalamus, a brain region controlling emotion and metabolism, has been suggested. A direct link between the expression
This thesis investigates whether state capacity furthers a country’s educational goals by scrutinising the effects of state capacity on the literacy rate in India. This is fundamentally studied through the theories of good governance and state capacity. Further, data from the Quality of Government between 1984-2011 and literacy rate between 1981-2011 are observed to discover whether state capacity
Due to the civil war in Syria, around 6 million people were displaced to neighboring countries and more than half of them live in Turkiye in a protracted refugee situation. Considering lack of return options to Syria and low resettlement quotas in third countries, their only viable option is local integration in the host countries. Designed as a case study, this thesis examines how the government
It is widely recognised that the two major challenges of the 21st century are climate change and poverty. The building sector is responsible for over a third of all global carbon dioxide emissions. At the same time, we see vastly overcrowded and rapidly growing informal settlements in developing countries, where people lack the basic right to decent shelter. This is simply not sustainable and forc
Question: The purpose of this study was to study if depression, anxiety and quality of life differ between patients from an outpatient psychiatric clinic (ÖPM) and a private psychotherapy clinic in “Vårdvalet Region Skåne” (PMV) as well as to study if depression and anxiety correlate to quality of life in these patients. A further purpose of the study was to study if quality of life amongst patien
Abstract (Swedish) Vägföreningen Vikhögs Uddeväg har under lång tid upplevt problem och risker med kusterosion för sin privata väg. Denna studie ämnar utreda vilka förutsättningar som ligger bakom problemen och hur problemen kan utvecklas i framtiden. Studien ämnar också undersöka vilka resurser som finns tillgängliga i samhället för små kustsamhällen att använda sig av för att skydda sin egendom
