Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are highly prevalent complex diseases that result from lifestyle and genetic factors. Gene-lifestyle interactions are also believed to contribute to the etiology of these diseases. The aim of this thesis was to investigate gene-lifestyle interactions using the strongest T2D and CVD susceptibility genetic loci and to understand the causal natur

Popular Abstract in Swedish Magnetresonanstomografi (MRT) är en metod för framställning av bilder av kroppen och av sjukliga förändringar i kroppen. När metoden introducerades ansågs den utomordentligt goda inbyggda vävnadskontrasten vara tillräcklig för att särskilja olika sjukliga förändringar, speciellt i hjärnan. Det har emellertid visat sig att förmågan att upptäcka sjukliga förändringar är oAims of the study The aims of this study using Gadodiamide injection were to investigate: · Whether Gadodiamide injection was comparable to Gd-DTPA for the enhancement of CNS lesions. · The contrast effect at different field strengths. · The effective time-window for the enhancement of blood-brain barrier damage. · The relations between the concentration of contrast agent and enhancement in p

Interactions between cortical areas were studied during the search for verbal associations and reading of words. The functional anatomy and the sequence of involvement of cortical areas during the solution of these tasks have been described previously, in studies using positron emission tomography and multichannel recordings of evoked potentials combined with identification of the locations of dip

The nursing process can be viewed as a problem-solving model, but we do not know whether use of the whole process including care plans with interventions based on nursing diagnoses improves nurses' ability to carry out assessments. Therefore, the aim of this study was to illuminate and describe the assessment and decision-making process performed by nurses who formulated individual care plans incl

Title: Critical success factors that influence the corporate venturing process Seminar date: 2013-05-02 Course: ENTN39 Internship and Degree Project Authors: Martin Zündorf & Marcus Holgersson Advisor/s: Joakim Winborg Purpose: We investigated the influence of different factors on the corporate venturing process. Therefore we combined several factors from the organizational level with cha

In radiological diagnostics and therapy, it is important that practitioners, referrers, (i.e. radiologists, radiation oncologists and others in healthcare) are aware of how much radiation a patient may receive from the various procedures used and associated health risk. The profession has a duty to inform patients or their representatives of the advantages and disadvantages of specific investigati

Solar steam turbines are subject to high thermal stresses as a result of temperature gradients during transient operation, which occurs more frequently due to the variability of the solar resource. In order to increase the flexibility of the turbines while preserving lifting requirements, several operational modifications for maintaining turbine temperatures during offline periods are proposed and

This thesis presents and evaluates nineteen methods for combining up to eleven automated univariate forecasts. The evaluation is made by applying the methods on a dataset containing more than 1000 monthly time series. The accuracy of one period ahead forecasts is analyzed. Almost 3.2 million forecasts are evaluated in the study. Methods that are using past forecasts to optimally produce a combined

Efficient time integration is a key issue in computational multibody dynamics. Implicit time integration methods for stiff systems and constrained systems require the solution of a system of nonlinear equations in each time step. The nonlinear equations are solved iteratively by Newton type methods that are tailored to the structure of the equations of motion in multibody dynamics. In the present

A procedure for acceleration feedback control of the delayed nonlinear teleoperation system is proposed. The acceleration feedback is applied to the master controller, while in the slave side the position error plus nonlinear damping controller is used to guarantee the input-to-state stability (ISS) of the controlled system. The Lyapunov-Krasovskii methodology is applied to analyse the ISS of the

Solar steam turbines are subject to high thermal stresses as a result of temperature gradients during transient operation, which occurs more frequently due to the variability of the solar resource. In order to increase the flexibility of the turbines while preserving lifing requirements, several operational modifications for maintaining turbine temperatures during offline periods are proposed and

Energy consumption reduction is today an important design issue for all kinds of digital systems. Offering both flexibility and efficient energy management, variable speed processor architectures are prefered for low energy consumption even in hard real-time systems. For this type of systems, the main approach consists in trading speed for lower energy while meeting all deadlines. For tasks with v

We consider model predictive control (MPC) problems with linear dynamics, polytopic constraints, and quadratic objective. The resulting optimization problem is solved by applying an accelerated gradient method to the dual problem. The focus of this paper is to provide bounds on the number of iterations needed in the algorithm to guarantee a prespecified accuracy of the dual function value and the
