OBJECTIVE Smoking and Swedish smokeless tobacco (snus) are associated with latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Our aim was to investigate whether genetic susceptibility to T2D, insulin resistance (IR), and insulin secretion (IS) aggravate these associations. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We used data from two population-based Scandinavian studies with case subjects
Objective Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and osteoarthritis (OA) are globally prevalent chronic diseases that affect millions of individuals in ageing populations. Hip and knee replacements are well established and effective treatments in patients suffering from end-stage OA. Understanding how T2DM influences the outcomes of these surgeries is important for optimising patient care and improving s
PURPOSE: The Swedish National Diabetes Register (NDR) has developed a diabetes-specific questionnaire to collect information on individuals' management of their diabetes, collaboration with healthcare providers and the disease's impact on daily life. Our main objective was to develop measures of well-being, abilities to manage diabetes and judgements of diabetes care, and to detect and quantify di
Objective: We evaluated whether patient-reported outcome trajectories (i.e., changes over time) differed by intraoperative compartmental cartilage lesion pattern over 4–6 years following arthroscopic meniscal surgery. Methods: In this ancillary study of the Knee Arthroscopy Cohort Southern Denmark cohort, we intraoperatively categorized cartilage lesions as isolated patellofemoral, isolated tibiof
The passive film stability on stainless steel can be affected by hydrogen absorption and lead to microstructure embrittlement. This work shows that the absorption of hydrogen results in surface degradation due to oxide reduction and ionic defect generation within the passive film, which decomposes and eventually vanishes. The passive film provides a barrier to entering hydrogen, but when hydrogen
Background: The majority of existing studies aimed at investigating the incidence and prevalence of multidrug-resistance by bacteria have been performed in healthcare settings. Relatively few studies have been conducted in community settings, but these have consistently shown a high prevalence of multidrug-resistant bacteria in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Objectives: To provide an ap
Utmaningen för många kommuner med att skapa naturvårdsplaner är brister på resurser och tillgängligt underlag. Att ha en modell som kan uppskatta potentialen för naturvärden hade hjälpt kommunerna att fokusera sina resurser. I den här studien tas en sådan modell fram i Lilla Edets kommun med hjälp av MKA (Multikriterieanalays) i GIS genom att använda data som är tillgängligt för kommuner. ModellenThe challenge of nature conservation for municipalities usually revolves around limited resources and available data. A method that could predict the potential for nature values in different areas would help municipalities focus the available resources they have where they are most needed. In this study, such a model has been developed and tested for Lilla Edet municipality using MCA (Multi-criter
Utvecklingen av digitala 3D stadsmodeller i städer har ökat de senaste åren där fokus mestadels varit på byggnader. I den här studien presenteras transportinfrastruktur med olika detaljnivåer (LoD). Det svenska verksamhetssystemet inom transport NVDB samt kommunala trafikdata länkas till en informationsmodell som heter 3CIM. Via digitaliserade ytor i form av trafikområden kopplas väglänks-ID f
”Investor-state dispute settlement” (ISDS) bestämmelser är vanligt förekommande i internationella investeringsavtal för att säkerställa det avtalade investeringsskyddet. ISDS systemet innebär att en investerare direkt kan påkalla ett skiljeförfarande mot en EU medlemsstat, baserat på det underliggande investeringsavtalet. Bilaterala investeringsavtal som innehåller en sådan ISDS klausul är vanligtWithin the area of international investment law investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) clauses are commonly used in order to provide investment protection. The ISDS mechanism can be described as a system under which an investor can arbitrate a dispute against a host state, based on an investment agreement concluded between the host state and the national state of the investor. As this system has
This study presents a mineralogical, textural and structural assessment of the Cambrian Faludden Sandstone Member (Borgholm Formation) and Lower Silurian mudstone (unspecified formation), for their potential use as reservoir and caprock, respectively, for deep carbon storage in the Swedish sector of the Baltic Sea subsurface. The study was performed on two drillcores from the island of Gotland, No
This study investigates if cognitively induced load via the Sternberg Task influences episodic memory measured through eye metrics data. An eye-tracking experiment was conducted with 34 participants to research if memory will decline when cognitive load increases. The method was a block design, controlled experiment. The analysis consisted repeated measures ANOVAs. The first hypothesis that cognit
Denna uppsats undersöker rättsdogmatiskt EU-domstolens tolkning av begreppen ”funktionshinder” och professional life, samt hur dessa två begrepp relaterar till varandra i bedömningen huruvida ett funktionhinder föreligger eller inte. Här undersöks EU-målen Chacón Navas, Coleman, HK Danmark, Z och Kaltoft. Dessa mål har varit uppe i EU-domstolen där nationella rättsinsanser begärt förhandsavgörande
Svensk populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Fjärranalys av skogsskövling längs med den trans-amzoniska motorvägen Skogsskövling är ett av de större miljöproblemen vi har idag. Speciellt snabb har skövlingen varit i Amazonas regnskog, där minst tjugo procent försvunnit de senaste 40 åren. Fjärranalys används för att uppskatta skogsskövling längs med den transamazoniska motorvägen (BR230). Analysen utDeforestation is one of the biggest environmental challenges today. Especially severe has the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest been where at least 20% has been cleared the last 40 years. A time series analysis of deforestation rates between 1984 and 2013 has been performed on several sites close to the Trans-Amazonian highway BR230 in the Amazon and Para states. This is done by applying a su
The purpose of this research is to investigate existing perceptions upon the sanctions relief amongst middle class Iranian youths between the ages of 25 to 30, living in Karaj and Tehran. The thesis also examines how the economic sanctions have affected their private economies in the post-sanctions era to fill the research gap within the development research field. Semi-structured interviews were
Aims/hypothesis: Some studies find an increased risk of type 1 diabetes in children exposed to antibiotics. We investigated if exposure to antibiotics increases the risk of latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) and type 2 diabetes. Methods: We used data from a Swedish case–control study (Epidemiological Study of Risk Factors for LADA and Type 2 Diabetes [ESTRID]: LADA, n=597; type 2 diabetes
