Popular Abstract in Swedish Graviditetsdiabetes (GDM) innebär att förhöjd glukosnivå i blodet (blodsocker) upptäckts hos en kvinna när hon är gravid. GDM behandlas med anpassad kost, fysisk aktivitet, och när det behövs även insulin, vilket tillsammans har visats motverka de ökade riskerna vid graviditet och förlossning för mamma och barn. Glukosnivåerna normaliseras nästan alltid efter förlossninBackground: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with risks during pregnancy, during delivery, and in later life with a substantial risk of subsequent diabetes. The worldwide prevalence of GDM is increasing, but varies with differences in diagnostic methods and population characteristics. Results: Capillary glucose concentrations were found to be higher than venous glucose concentrat

his work examines the contemporaneous Swedish experience from participation in the United Nations operation in the Congo, ONUC, from 1960 to 1964. Inspired by Carl von Clausewitz’s understanding of war as a trinity consisting of three ‘nodes’: the political authority, the people and the military, this study focuses on the ONUC experience as described by the government in Sweden, leading Swedish ne

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to examine the double locked-in phenomenon at work (i.e., being in a non-preferred occupation and non-preferred work place), and its associations to psychological health, physical health and job satisfaction. METHODS: A total of 136 municipal employees who visited a career coaching center (response rate 59%) participated in the questionnaire study. RESULTS: The

The semantic content, or the meaning, is the essence of autobiographical memories. In comparison to previous research, which has mainly focused on the phenomenological experience and the age distribution of retrieved events, the present study provides a novel view on the retrieval of event information by quantifying the information as semantic representations. The aim of the study was to investiga

Begreppet adaptation to the adverse effects of climate change är relativt nytt in internationell miljörätt. Begreppet adaptation är inte definierat i UNFCCC. Den här uppsatsen analyserar adaptation i ljuset av begreppet reparation i internationell sedvanerätt. Uppsatsen undersöker vad begreppen adaptation och reparation har gemensamt. Kan adaptation i UNFCCC ses som en möjlig utveckling eller förlThe concept of adaptation to the adverse effects of climate change is relatively recent in international environmental law. Adaptation is not defined in the UNFCCC. This paper attempts to address adaptation in the UNFCCC from the perspective of reparation under customary international law. It investigates what the concepts of adaptation and reparation have in common. Could adaptation in the UNFCCC

The purpose of this paper is to illuminate the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from a gender inclusive perspective, seeking to explore and establish some of the ways in which Palestinian women in the West Bank and Gaza are affected by two interlocking systems of oppression, namely occupation and patriarchy. I will carry out this aim through a qualitative case study guided essentially by feminist theo

Over the last years, Europe has witnessed the rise of a new political party family, the RRP (Radical Right Populism). These parties signify a serious challenge to contemporary politics of Europe and raise questions concerning the cause of their increasing electoral success within European politics. By taking departure from previous literature, explaining the emergence of the RRP from a social-move

In the Spring of 2003, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome ripped through China and the world. What it left behind in China was a country greatly improved in terms of social health levels, political transparency, financial stability and quality of life. From an ability to handle future crises and increase in international investor quality, China emerged intact, and improved. This paper outlines the

Since the Second World War, the systems of trade and environmental law have evolved very differently. It is claimed that the complete trading system impedes the development of the more shattered environmental system and that conflicts between them are likely to increase. Some argues that a solution would be to incorporate the environmental system should in the WTO. The purpose of this thesis is t

Free movement of goods is regulated by Article 28 of The EC Treaty. The most important judgments of European Court of Justice (ECJ) in this field are Dassonville, Cassis de Dijon and Keck. The interpretation of Article 28 was very broad in Dassonville and Cassis cases therefore the national rules which were designed for social policy reasons, but not for controlling the trade between Member States

The principle of ne bis in idem is one of the fundamental principles recognizing human dignity in criminal procedures. The principle's objective is to convey legal certainty to the individual. It aims to ensure this by prohibiting 'double jeopardy', i.e., an individual cannot be subjected to criminal proceedings more than once for one and the same - allegedly criminal - conduct after o

Although direct taxation falls under the sovereignty of each individual Member State, that sovereignty must be practiced with respect for community legislation and the EC Treaty. National legislation that in any way hinders the freedoms guaranteed by the Treaty or discourages nationals of a Member State to practice those freedoms is infringing the EC Treaty and is not to be tolerated. The number o

For the Inner Tracking System 3 (ITS3) upgrade, the ALICE experiment at CERN requires monolithic active pixel sensors of dimensions up to 97 mm×266 mm, occupying a large fraction of a 300 mm wafer. To manufacture such a wafer-scale device, larger than the single design reticle size, stitching is employed. The MOnolithic Stitched Sensor (MOSS) is a prototype silicon pixel sensor of 14 mm×259 mm siz

Water management is a critical factor for the performance and reliability of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) operating as energy generation systems. Inadequate operating conditions may lead to non-uniform water distribution, resulting in membrane dehydration or flooding of porous media, both of which adversely affect cell operation. In this work, a two-dimensional reduced-order model is dev

Musculoskeletal health is essential to health, well-being, and independence across the life course. Musculoskeletal conditions including inflammatory joint diseases, osteoarthritis, back pain, osteoporosis, and fragility fractures are among the greatest causes of disability globally imposing a major burden on health and social care and economic impact also through lost productivity. Despite effect

BACKGROUND: The aim was to improve the realism of patient models for Monte-Carlo based evaluation of image-based quantification of tumour volume and activity in [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TOC PET and [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE SPECT images.METHODS: Three phantoms from the XCAT population were used as basis. Tumour structures were obtained from segmentation of patient 68Ga-PET images and positioned at relevant positio

Lime-cement mixing is a method used for ground improvement of clay soils. Before mixing at a field site, laboratory samples are prepared and tested to decide the amount of lime-cement binder needed to reach the desired material strength. Strength measurements are not possible before a sample hardens, and the test process to predict final strength takes 30 days. Resistivity measurements are possibl
