The overall goal of our research unit is to understand metabolic control of insulin secretion and why it fails in type 2 diabetes (T2D). In recent years, this has meant that we have used information from GWAS (Genome-wide association study) to direct our efforts towards the genes which are actually linked to the development of the disease. To reach this overarching goal, we have worked along tw
This study examines the transparency of the Swedish stock market with regards to the new, eased regulation on quarterly reporting. The study investigates whether insider trading and analysts’ recommendations could be alternative sources of information to quarterly reports. Consistent with prior research, it finds the magnitude of informativeness of insider buys being greater than for insider sells
This paper sets out to investigate what is “conceptual performing arts” and define how one could begin to fill out the lack of a definition. The paper has been peerreviewed within the context of "Högskolepedagogisk utbildning".
We discuss what happens at the end of the QCD cascades. We show that, with just a few reasonable assumptions, the emission of soft gluons is constrained to produce an ordered field in the form of a helix. We describe how to modify the Lund fragmentation scheme in order to fragment such a field. Our modified fragmentation scheme yields results which are consistent with current experimental measurem
Nitrogenase is the only enzyme that can cleave the strong triple bond inN2. The active site contains a complicated MoFe7S9C cluster. It is believed that itneeds to accept four protons and electrons, forming the E4 state, before it can bind N2.However, there is no consensus on the atomic structure of the E4 state. Experimentalstudies indicate that it should contain two hydride ions bridging two pai

Ämnet Urban design och urbanism handlar om undervisning och forskning som rör stadsplanering och utformning av det offentliga rummet, där ämnet vill verka för en hållbar utveckling. Här ingår bland annat lärare från Masterprogram för hållbar stadsgestaltning (SUDes). Forskningen inom ämnet handlar framför allt om studier av stadsrummet och dess möjligheter. Vidare studeras frågor om social segreThe subject of Urban Design and Urbanism is concerned with teaching and research about city planning and the shaping of the public realm, with a focus on sustainable development. Members of staff from the Master's programme for Sustainable Urban Design are among those who teach on the subject. Research in the subject is primarily concerned with studies of urban spaces and their potential. Additi
In his recent work, Eco abandons his conventionalist theory of pictures, which was heavily censored by, among others, the present author. In so doing, however, Eco now goes to the other extreme, claiming that television images are like mirrors, which are no signs. It is my contention that Eco fails to come up with a more acceptable theory of iconicity. Since Eco is one of the few semioticians conc
Age-related decline in cardiac function can be prevented or postponed by lifelong endurance training. However, effects of normal ageing as well as of lifelong endurance exercise on longitudinal and radial contribution to stroke volume are unknown. The aim of this study was to determine resting longitudinal and radial pumping in elderly athletes, sedentary elderly and young sedentary subjects. Furt
Given the recent predominant role of technology and the extensive use of smartphones in today’s society, the mobile device has become a major part of consumers’ daily lives. As a result, the lines between humans and technology have become blurred, where the effectiveness of interpersonal interactions at the service encounter in retail stores has been questioned. The researchers thus identified a k
Research Purpose: This study aims to provide insight into the consumer perceptions of explicit marketing towards LGBT consumers. Furthermore, it examines the current status of implicit gay marketing Methodology: Triangulation was adopted combining both content analysis and netnography to qualitatively analyse consumer perceptions from three different perspectives. Content analysis was conducted fr
The purpose of the thesis relates to the Quality anomaly observed in the US equity market, where stocks with Quality characteristics tend to outperform and have higher risk adjusted returns. By dissecting the Quality anomaly, the thesis aims to analyze the drivers of the over performance of Quality and investigate the presence of a systematic Quality premium. From previous research, three areas ha
