Weight-loss interventions generally improve lipid profiles and reduce cardiovascular disease risk, but effects are variable and may depend on genetic factors. We performed a genetic association analysis of data from 2,993 participants in the Diabetes Prevention Program to test the hypotheses that a genetic risk score (GRS) based on deleterious alleles at 32 lipid-associated single-nucleotide polym
A method for simultaneous measurements of fluorescence lifetimes of two species along a line is described. The experimental setup is based on picosecond laser pulses from two tunable optical parametric generator/optical parametric amplifier systems together with a streak camera. With an appropriate optical time delay between the two laser pulses, whose wavelengths are tuned to excite two different
We investigated changes of postural responses to repeated bipolar galvanic vestibular stimulation on 5 consecutive days and once again after 3 months. Subjects consisted of 21 healthy volunteers. Except for the first day did the induced torque variance in response to galvanic vestibular stimulation not decrease {within} each test session, but there was a major reduction {from day to day} (p< 0.001
Industrialized production of building components, or entire houses, reduces activities at the construction site to the assembly of parts and has the potential to increase productivity and reduce the design effort invested in every project. However, in order to realize all of the potential efficiency gains that use of predefined components could deliver effective, interoperable information manageme
The topic of this thesis is dynamics and wear of structures. In the six appended papers different aspects of wear and dynamics of a model system are studied. The considered system consists of a long slender rod with unilateral supports, subject to harmonic and stochastic excitation. The rod is held at one end with stiff springs preventing translation and rotation and constrained by loose sup
The phase field method emerged as a tool to solve free boundary problems with a sharp interface. In previous methods, this involved the computationally inefficient and complicated tracking of a moving interface. The phase field method overcomes this limitation by introducing an auxiliary variable called the order parameter which varies continuously over the whole domain and takes on finite values
Syftet med examensarbetet är att kartlägga och studera förekomsten av föreslagna namnändringar och inofficiella namn inom detaljplanelagt område i kommunerna, hur dessa hanteras samt med stöd av de vunna kunskaperna och erfarenheterna försöka dra slutsatser som kan leda till en förbättrad urban namnhantering i framtiden. Metoderna som används i examensarbetet är: litteraturstudier (böcker, artiklaThe aim of this Master of Science thesis is to study the frequency of geographical renaming and unofficial names among Sweden’s urban place-names and to provide knowledge to those who work with urban place-names. The methods used: literature studies, case studies, interviews and a questionnaire directed at place name officials from a selection of Sweden’s municipalities. Conclusion: The official u
Denna studie har undersökt eventuella samband mellan isocialiseringstaktiker under introduktionsprocessen för nyanställda och deras upplevda self-efficacy och organisatoriska engagemang. Det är en uppföljning av tidigare forskning gjord av Gareth Jones som använder en modifierad version av den enkät han utvecklade. Urvalet består av enskilda butiker från ett marknadsledande företag inom dagligvaruThis study examines correlations between socialization tactics for onboarding new employees and their experienced self-efficacy and organizational commitment. The study was proposed and inspired by Gareth Jones who studied socialization tactics and developed a survey for the theorized definition of the different tactics, which is used in a modified version. The sample is drawn from separate stores

This study is an attempt to take advantage of a cerebellar model to control a biomimetic arm. Aware that a variety of cerebellar models with different levels of details has been developed, we focused on a high-level model called MOSAIC. This model is thought to be able to describe the cerebellar functionality without getting into the details of the neural circuitry. To understand where this model
New products on the market are likely to be simulated in a computer sometime during the development process. The environment for which the physical model of the product is developed may not always be the optimal for control simulations of the model. To be able to export models from one environment to another a common model definition must be defined. The Functional Mock-up Interface, FMI, provides
Global exploration and production of minerals is increasingly located in areas populated by indigenous people. Conflicts that arise between multinational corporations and local activists and/or indigenous people are widespread while the understanding of such issues are still lacking. The Swedish government encouraging an expanding mining industry have caused great resistance, particularly due to t
Sea ice is strongly impacted by global warming, and its decline further alters the global climate. Climate models are important tools for examining those future sea ice changes and the interaction of sea ice with other Earth system components such as the atmosphere and the ocean. Typically, these components are simulated with separate codes. The interaction between these components is typically mo
Kostnadsansvar för motpartens rättegångskostnader i domstolsprocess är normalt förekommande i processrätten, men saknas i förvaltningsprocessen. Historiskt sett betraktades kostnadsansvaret som ett skadestånd, en ordning som sedermera övergavs i merparten av processformer, dock inte i förvaltningsprocessen där synen på kostnadsansvaret som skadestånd ständigt finner sin renässans. Denna uppsats unLiability for reimbursing the other party's costs in court proceedings is a common aspect of procedural law, yet it is notably absent in administrative proceedings. Historically, such cost liability was viewed as a form of tort, a perspective that has since been largely abandoned in most types of litigation. However, this tort-based view of cost liability persists and is experiencing a constan
High Tech security solutions refer to advanced and innovative technologies designed to protect assets, data and individuals from various threats. These systems offer benefits that traditional security measures cannot match. Examples of high Technology security solutions include Biometric Access Control that uses fingerprints, iris and facial recognition, Surveillance drones with cameras for monito
This Thesis seeks to give its reader the tools to understand the data privacy divide between the EU and the US. It explains the crucial notions, historical and jurisprudential factors and regulatory frameworks underlying and constituting it. First, it answers why regulating data privacy is paramount to our democratic societies on both sides of the Atlantic. The growing importance of the data dri
This thesis explores the heterologous expression of six fungal enzymes with potential polyurethane (PUR) degrading activity in two strains of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus oryzae: the standard Ory6 and a knock-out variant with disrupted transcription factors to potentially reduce native protease activity. Each enzyme was expressed in three gene formats: a native version (including any introns

In recent years, global supply chains have become increasingly exposed to disruptions caused by geopolitical tensions, wars, and other external uncertainties. At ASSA ABLOY's Business Segment Pedestrian (BSP), this has led to a need to reassess the current sourcing strategy, particularly within inbound logistics, where a strong dependence on a limited number of sourcing locations has created v
This thesis aims to explore how a design system can serve as a resource for digital transformation within the retail industry, by drawing from the dynamic capabilities approach and the digital maturity framework by Pinto et al. (2023). Connected to this, it is looking specifically at the adoption of design systems and investigates how humans can act as enablers of digital transformation. To do so
