Background Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a multifactorial disease in which environmental triggers interact with genetic variants in the predisposition to the disease. A number of common variants have been associated with T2D but our knowledge of their ability to predict T2D prospectively is limited. Methods and Findings By using a Cox proportional hazard model, common variants in the PPARG (P12A), CAPN
A rising global population and demand for protein-rich diets are increasing pressure to maximize agricultural productivity. Rising atmospheric [CO2] is altering global temperature and precipitation patterns, which challenges agricultural productivity. While rising [CO2] provides a unique opportunity to increase the productivity of C-3 crops, average yield stimulation observed to date is well below
The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the role of corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) on micturition. CRF is involved in the endocrine and central nervous system responses to stress and is also expressed in sites responsible for the control of micturition. In this investigation, cystometric experiments were performed in awake and unrestrained Wistar rats and on Spontaneous Hypertensiv
In this pilot study, the predictive value of Octreotide scintigraphy (Octreoscan) and/or Chromogranin-A (CgA) was investigated in patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer treated with Octreotide acetate. In total, 20 patients with progressive disease and bone metastases entered the trial. At baseline Octreoscan, CgA, PSA, alkaline phosphates (ALP) and two self-administered questionnaires (
Complex traits, including inflammatory rheumatic diseases, have important genetic features, but most of the responsible genes have not been conclusively identified. Genetic analysis of inbred animal models and comparative genetics - the comparison of genes between different species - might help to identify the crucial genes and to investigate more directly the biology involved. Genome-wide linkage
Klimatanpassning av småskaligt jordbruk - en fallstudie i södra Indien En förutsättning för att vi i framtiden ska kunna föda jordens ökande befolkning är att vi anpassar vårt jordbruk till klimatförändringarna. På många platser i världen innebär detta att man måste möjliggöra odling i ett mycket torrare klimat. I vår studie undersöker vi vilka tekniker som finns för att underlätta detta och ger A major consequence of climate change will be changes in precipitation. Both amount and distribution will be affected and the changes will vary greatly between different places on the globe. In the inland parts of Pudukottai district, located in southern India, as well as in many other places, the result will likely be increased water scarcity and severe droughts, with dire consequences for food s
Ensamrätten till ett varumärke är en dynamisk rätt, där skyddsomfånget förändras över tid. Skyddsomfånget avgörs utefter graden av särskiljningsförmåga, vilket innebär ett varumärkes förmåga att särskilja varumärkesinnehavarens varor eller tjänster från andra näringsidkares varor eller tjänster. Vid varumärkesregistrering är särskiljningsförmåga ett absolut krav. Är fallet så att ett varumärke helA trademark right is a dynamic right, where the scope of protection alters over time. The scope of protection is determined according to the degree of distinctiveness, which means the trademark’s ability to distinguishing the goods and services of one trader from the goods and services of another. A trademark must be capable of distinguishing to be registered. If a trademark has completely lost it
Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att utforska konsumentens uppfattning av online-modeföretags individanpassade marknadsföring. Konsumentens uppfattning syftar till att ge perspektiv på utformningen av den individanpassade marknadsföringen samt hur den skall förhållas i en balansakt mellan lojalitet, integritet och relationsbyggande. Metod: Kvalitativ metod med en abduktiv ansats. Vår primärdata utgPurpose: The purpose of this thesis is to explore the consumer’s comprehension of personalized marketing within the online fashion industry. Understanding the consumer’s comprehension of personalized marketing can give a perspective on how best to create and implement this form of marketing, as well as how it is balanced between loyalty, integrity and relationship management. Methodology: It is a
The aim of this study was to investigate how social workers look at the boundaries between their private sphere and working hours. Furthermore, it is intended to study how social workers look at work-related situations that may occur in their leisure time and how they handle them. The selection of respondents consisted of social workers who had a social education and had a regular professional con
This thesis examines the extent to which lobbyists bring democratic value to the policy-formulation and decision-making stages of the EU policy process. It is examined through a single case study of the amendment of Directive 2001/83/EC. By adopting an actor-centered institutionalism perspective and through theoretical discussion on Robert Keohane, Fritz Scharpf and Pieter Bouwen, this thesis bui
Lactobacillus reuteri is known as probiotics with health benefits. Freeze-drying is frequently used to preserve probiotics and keep them alive. However, freeze-drying through freezing and drying might cause some damages to the probiotic’s cells. Formulation by protective agents including cryoprotectants and lyoprotectants prior to freeze-drying can prevent and reduce these damages. In this study,
The objective of thesis was to do an analysis of the current situation of Vattenfall´s “Gewerbekunden”. The “Gewerbekunden” are small-to-medium enterprises that consume up to 100 000 kWh/year. Since the deregulation and liberalization of the energy market conditions have changed. New actors entered the market and the competition increased distinctly. All the energy suppliers were focusing on the p
An increasing number of scholarly publishers are beginning to make their journals available electronically. At the same time there is a growing amount of exclusively electronic journals freely accessible on the Internet. These are facts that librarians have to take into consideration. This master's thesis aims to describe the electronic journal and its role in Swedish academic libraries. In a

BACKGROUND Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a promising marker of ovarian reserve. The aim of the study is to assess the circadian variation in AMH, and to evaluate its clinical relevance and biological aspects as an effect of age and other endocrine mechanisms involved in the regulation of AMH secretion. METHODS Nineteen healthy non-smoking, regularly menstruating female volunteers with body mass
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling baserar sig på de erfarenheter av Internet som ett antal människor med betydande kroppsliga funktionsnedsättningar gjort. Personerna i studierna är erfarna och duktiga dator- och Internetanvändare och har få eller inga funktionshinder i dator och online världen, men däremot stora funktionshinder i den fysiska världen. Deras functioning, förmåga attThis thesis is based on the Internet experiences of people with significant mobility/physical impairments who are proficient and experienced computer users in their computer world but have limitations in mobility that severely restrict their functioning in the physical world. The Internet functioning of this group is analysed by means of the factors attitude, control and enabling, with the m
Kusiner förlorade sin arvsrätt med 1928 års arvslag och står än idag utanför den allmänna arvsordningen. Sambor har aldrig tagits upp in i den till att börja med. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka arvsrätten för kusiner och sambos i svensk rätt. Grupperna har gemensamt att de ofta står den avlidna men samtidigt utanför den allmänna arvsordningen. Frågorna som ställs handlar om hur synen på kCousins lost their right of inheritance with the 1928 Inheritance code and remain outside the general order of succession to this day. Cohabiting partners have never been included in it to begin with. The purpose of this essay is to examine the right of inheritance for cousins and cohabiting partners in Swedish law. The two groups have in common that they are often close to the deceased, yet the
A selection of searches by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC for the electroweak production of SUSY particles are used to study their impact on the constraints on dark matter candidates. The searches use 20 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data at s=8 TeV. A likelihood-driven scan of a five-dimensional effective model focusing on the gaugino-higgsino and Higgs sector of the phenomenological minimal s
