BACKGROUND The nature and underlying mechanisms of an inverse association between adult height and the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) are unclear. METHODS We used a genetic approach to investigate the association between height and CAD, using 180 height-associated genetic variants. We tested the association between a change in genetically determined height of 1 SD (6.5 cm) with the risk of
Popular Abstract in Swedish Utbredningen av besvär som attribueras till elektrisk utrustning respektive kemikalielukter och andra odörer är ännu ej till fullo fastställd. Vidare saknas kunskap om eventuella bakomliggande faktorer för dessa besvärs uppkomst. Syftet med avhandlingen var att undersöka utbredningen av besvär som attribueras till elektriska faktorer, kemikalier och lukter, samt undersSelf-reported annoyance from electrical equipment has been in evidence since the mid-eighties, and the first reports of illness from everyday chemicals arose already in the 1960?s. However, the extent of the problem or the mechanisms behind the development of environmentally related annoyance has not yet been fully established. Increased vulnerability to stress has been suggested to be a possible
Various Helicobacter species have been isolated from the stomach, intestinal tract and liver of a variety of mammalian and some avian species, and Helicobacter DNA has been detected in human bile and liver samples. An immunoblot assay was established to analyse serum antibody responses to non-gastric Helicobacter species in patients with autoimmune liver diseases, in comparison with healthy indivi
Widespread presence of toxic and persistent pollutants in the environment, even at low concentrations, causes risks of adverse effects to human health and the ecosystem. Biological methods for treatment of water streams and removal of persistent pollutants are of great interest due to their simplicity, low cost, and mild operational conditions without harmful by-products. The purpose of this resea
För att begränsa den globala uppvärmningen krävs en omställning mot en klimatmässigt hållbar livsmedelsförsörjning. Konsumtionen av kött och mejeriprodukter, som idag står för en stor andel av matens klimatpåverkan, behöver minska till förmån för mer resurseffektiva vegetabiliska livsmedel. För att kunna komplettera eller ersätta animaliska näringskällor berikas många växtbaserade produkter med inIn order to mitigate the global warming, a transition towards a sustainable diet is required. Such a transition includes reduced consumption of meat and dairy products, by substituting these with more resource efficient vegetable-based products. In order to meet the nutrient content of animal foods, vegan products are often supplemented with artificial vitamins and minerals. Few studies have inves
Bakgrund: Till följd av att den globala konkurrensen tilltar, ökar komplexiteten, flexibiliteten och produktvariationen inom produktion. Detta leder till att förbättringsprojekt blir allt svårare att genomföra. Händelsestyrd simulering har i litteraturen blivit identifierat som ett verktyg med förmågan att lösa dessa utmaningar, men till följd av att komplexiteten i en produktion ökar, växer ocksåBackground: Following a growing global competition, complexity, flexibility and product variability of manufacturing systems are increasing. This has led to improvement projects becoming more difficult to carry out. Discrete event simulation (DES) has in literature been identified as having the capability to solve these challenges, but as complexity of a manufacturing system increases so does also
Most electricity in Lebanon is produced by burning fossil fuels, which produces more than one half of domestic greenhouse gas emissions, and the state-owned electricity companies are unable to meet the demand. To increase the country’s generation capacity and simultaneously combat the effects of climate change, the government aims to produce 30% of its electricity from renewables by 2030. It is ho
Denna uppsats har sin utgångspunkt i sakförsäkringar tecknade av konsumenter, det vill säga försäkringar som syftar till att i händelse av sakskada utge en ekonomisk kompensation som försäkringsersättning. Försäkringsersättningen ska motsvara den ekonomiska förlust som drabbat konsumenten till följd av sakskadan och på så sätt försätta konsumenten i samma ekonomiska tillstånd som vid tidpunkten fThis thesis looks into property insurances signed by consumers, i.e., insurances aimed at providing financial compensation in the event of damage on personal property. The compensation shall correspond to the financial loss suffered by the consumer as a result of the damage and thus put the consumer in the same financial condition as before the damage occurred. To calculate the financial loss, th
Produktionen av kemikalier på Perstorp AB genererar kontaminerat avloppsvatten som renas i industriparkens egna avloppsreningsverk innan de kan återanvändas till processen igen. Industriparken i Perstorp har villkor från avloppsreningsverket på hur mycket vatten som fabrikerna får släppa ut till avloppsreningsverket. Det finns fortfarande kapacitet kvar innan villkoret uppnås, men marginalerna serThe production of chemicals at Perstorp AB generates contaminated wastewater that is treated in the industrial park’s own sewage treatment plant before it can be reused in the process again. The industrial park has conditions from the sewage treatment plant on how much water the factories may discharge. There is capacity left before the condition is reached, but the margins look to decrease in the
En kall eftermiddag den 23 december 1947 hände något fantastiskt på ett laboratorium i New Jersey, USA. Forskare vid Bell laboratoriet demonstrerade för första gången en funktionell transistor! Transistorn är en elektrisk komponent som har tre terminaler där man kan ansluta andra komponenter. Om man leder en ström eller spänning genom ett par av terminalerna kan man kontrollera strömmen genom ett As the limits of transistor feature size scaling is reaching its saturation, new innovations are needed to prevent performance loss. High performance transistors on the III/V semiconductor platform implemented with ferroelectric oxides might in the future satisfy this demand. But the integration of ferroelectrics on materials such as InAs degrades the substrate and other vital components from the
In many process industries samples are taken and analyzed in laboratories to monitor and ensure proper production conditions. If the analysis result is not within specification limits measures are taken to correct errors. It has proved to be hard to take the appropriate measures. The problem description fits into the confines of control theory and the aim is to make a fairly simple solution to a v
Den statliga lönegarantin är en skyddslagstiftning som ger arbetstagare rätt till ersättning om arbetsgivaren går i konkurs. I en granskande rapport från Riksrevisionen framkommer det att 6–9 % av utbetalt garantibelopp utgörs av misstänkt missbruk av lönegarantin. Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka om de föreslagna åtgärderna i Riksrevisionens granskning kan förväntas minska missbruk av lönegarantThe earnings guarantee is a legislation designated to compensate employees for loss of salary if the employer is declared bankrupt. In an audit by the Swedish National Audit Organization (the Swedish NAO), it is estimated that 6–9 % of all earnings guarantee payments consist of misusage. The purpose of this article is to examine if the measures suggested by the Swedish NAO can be considered adequa
Bakgrund: Många ungdomar upplever en negativ kroppsbild av sig själv som man sedan tar med sig in i vuxenlivet. Kroppsmissnöje har ökat kraftigt de senaste åren och har en stark koppling till låg självkänsla och ätstörning. Det har visats sig att atleter ha färre problem med sin kroppsbild än icke atleter. Sociala medier kan medföra en dålig kroppsuppfattning och självbild. Syfte: Syftet är att ka
Today the newly emerging Chinese MNEs have increasingly been involved in the internationalization activities, but they have not attracted adequate attention in terms of internationalization studies. This paper will be based on Dunning’s Eclectic (OLI) Paradigm as theoretical foundation and deploy the method of case study to analyze the internationalization strategy of the Chinese high-technology M
This thesis will clarify the notion of individual concern and its use by the ECJ, through an analysis of case law and a Lockean analysis of the EU. The thesis takes it outset in the case law of the ECJ and will show, through a thorough analysis of a selected part of the case law, that this is inconsistent and unstable, leaving individuals with legal uncertainty and little hope of accessing the CFI
A new approach in isothermal heat conduction microcalorimetric studies of chemical and biological processes is explored. The general (non-specific) method of calorimetry is combined with more specific analytical methods of analysis to "multi-functional microcalorimetric process monitors". A microcalorimeter with specific analytical sensors placed in the reaction vessel for studies of processes in
