OBJECTIVES: To estimate the total direct medical costs to society for patients with type 2 diabetes in Sweden and to investigate how different factors, for example diabetic late complications, affect costs. DESIGN: Cross-sectional data regarding health care utilization, clinical characteristics and quality of life, were collected at a single time-point. Data on resource use cover the 6-month perio
Context: Estrogens regulate bone mass by binding to the estrogen receptor (ER)-alpha as well as ER-beta. The specific ER -cofactor retinoblastoma-interacting zinc finger protein (RIZ)-1 enhances ER alpha function in the presence of estrogen. Objective: The objective of the study was to determine whether a RIZ P704 insertion (+)/ deletion (-) (indel) polymorphism modulates the impact of estradiol o
The purpose of this paper is to propose a new approach for categorizing the body of knowledge captured in the existing literature, past and present in such a way that contributions to the use side of systems development are made explicit. The new twist of this approach is that it seeks to bridge the most prevalent divides currently fragmenting the IS literature by offering an integrative classific
Miljöstraffrätten är kombinationen av miljörätt och straffrätt. Den är också kombinationen av miljöpolitik och kriminalpolitik. Straffrätten är ett mycket gammalt rättsområde, vars grundläggande principer åtminstone är 200 år gamla. Miljörätten ett rättsområde som till större delen är ett resultat av det moderna industrialiserade samhällets extrema komplexitet. Miljörätten kan med fog sägas vara e
The thin-plate spline (TPS) has been widely used in a number of areas such as image warping, shape analysis and scattered data interpolation. Introduced by Bookstein (IEEE Trans. Pattern Anal. Mach. Intell. 11(6):567–585 1989), it is a natural interpolating function in two dimensions, parameterized by a finite number of landmarks. However, even though the thin-plate spline has a very intuitive int
Presents an iterative approach to optimal control when modeling errors are present. The problem considered is movement of open containers containing liquid in an industrial packaging machine. The goal is to move as fast as possible without too much slosh. There is no measurement of the slosh available in the machine, therefore open loop control via the acceleration reference is the only possibilit
Popular Abstract in SwedishKontraktsstyrning i teori och praktikUnder de senaste decennierna har användningen av kontraktsstyrning ökat i både privat och offentlig sektor. Det finns ett stort intresse för styrformens egenskaper. Kontraktsstyrning diskuteras ibland som en tredje form av styrning, en sorts mellanform av idealtyperna marknad och hierarki. Frågan är dock vad som karaktäriserar denna sThe general aim of this thesis is to develop an increased understanding of contract management as a mode of governance. A specific aim has been to explore how complex municipal services are managed by contract. A framework for analysis of contract management was developed by combining elements from interorganisational theories with different perspectives, such as transaction cost theories, network
Popular Abstract in Swedish I denna studie undersöks femtonhundratalets reformatoriska mässa i Sverige och hur den utformades i sockenkyrkorna. Bruk och texter som de reformatoriska källorna vittnar om eller enbart antyder, relateras till de senmedeltida förutsättningar som rådde på sockennivå vid tiden för de första reformatoriska förändringarna av liturgin. Detta tillvägagångssätt lyfter fram deThis study investigates the 16th century Mass of the Reformation in Sweden, with emphasis on how it was celebrated in parish churches. Practices and texts which the sources of the Reformation give evidence of (or merely suggest) are related to the late medieval practices and texts which were in use in the parishes when the reforms began. This method emphasizes continuity and plurality, but also al
The Official records of the Swedish Foreign Ministry and War Ministry clearly indicate that the Stockholm was fully aware of the ongoing massacres and deportations of the Armenian subjects in the Ottoman Empire in an intentional annihilation of the Armenian nation.
During the second half of the nineteenth century leading theologians within the Church of Sweden (the so-called Lund High Church Movement) tried to defend, preserve, and revitalize the age-old religious and political order that they believed had characterized Swedish society. To this end, they spoke and wrote regularly on the position and responsibilities of the clergy. They also dwelled on the si
The growing social polarisation in Swedish society has increased the differences between pour and rich districts in the larger cities. The situation is worst in the housing areas built in the 1960s. But although Swedish urban policy has aimed for several decades at controlling segregation through extraordinary efforts in vulnerable housing areas, there is nothing to indicate that the processes of
This paper reports on nonlinear spectral broadening of 1.1 ps pulses in a gas-filled multi-pass cell to generate sub-100 fs optical pulses at 1030 nm and 515 nm at pulse energies of 0.8 mJ and 225 μJ, respectively, for pump-probe experiments at the free-electron laser FLASH. Combining a 100 kHz Yb:YAG laser with 180 W in-burst average power and a post-compression platform enables reaching simultan
The human cell nucleus serves as an important organelle holding the genetic blueprint for life. In this work, X-ray ptychography was applied to assess the masses of human cell nuclei using its unique phase shift information. Measurements were carried out at the I13-1 beamline at the Diamond Light Source that has extremely large transverse coherence properties. The ptychographic diffractive imaging
Objective: To identify clinical and histopathological risk factors of LNM in T1 CRC. Summary of Background Data: The requisite of additional surgery after locally resected T1 CRC is dependent on the risk of LNM. Depth of submucosal invasion is used as a key predictor of lymphatic metastases although data are conflicting on its actual impact. Methods: Retrospective population-based cohort study on
In this paper we seek to reflect on the way in which 'digital cities' later re-emerge as 'smart cities' (both in terms of the approaches and also the actual cities) and what lessons can be learned about the role of ICTs in how they shape urban space. We will focus on looking at how the lack of understanding of the city as a 'place' is often a common factor in the lack of longevity in 'digital city
Individuals are expected to avoid mating with relatives as inbreeding can reduce offspring fitness, a phenomenon known as inbreeding depression. This has led to the widespread assumption that selection will favour individuals that avoid mating with relatives. However, the strength of inbreeding avoidance is variable across species and there are numerous cases where related mates are not avoided. H
Low rank inducing penalties have been proven to successfully uncover fundamental structures considered in computer vision and machine learning; however, such methods generally lead to non-convex optimization problems. Since the resulting objective is non-convex one often resorts to using standard splitting schemes such as Alternating Direction Methods of Multipliers (ADMM), or other subgradient me
