Background: Obesity, type 2 diabetes and atrial fibrillation (AF) are closely associated, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. We aimed to explore associations between body mass index (BMI) or weight change with risk of AF in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: A total of 7,169 participations with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes were stratified according to baseline BMI, and
The purpose of this Master Thesis was to design an automatic separator, a machine that would separate organic from non-organic waste through a mechanical process. The use of a mechanical process was one of the target specifications given by WTM AB, the company that initiated the project. WTM is a small machine design company located in Ängelholm, Sweden, who designs machines for different kind of
Our main purpose with this study is to examine and elucidate the recovery process that occurs when women choose to break up from destructive relationships. Our aim is also to clarify what, by the women themselves, is considered to be efficient help in relation to what in fact is offered in actuality. The idea of this selection was that we, in the study of the recovery process, would make a compili
This master thesis was conducted at Volvo Car Corporation, VCC, in Gothenburg within the Manufacturing Engineering department. It is based on the P11-project (the new model S40) where the process verification has been examined and analyzed. The purpose of the thesis is to investigate the reasons behind remaining and new problems at late stages in the development process, as well as possibilities f
Sydvästra Grönlands arkeiska berggrund (North Atlantic Craton, NAC) intruderades av ett stort antal mafiska intrusioner och diabasgångar under arkeikum och proterozoikum, vars åldrar är dåligt kända. Detta arbete omfattar dateringar av fem intrusioner med U-Pb metoden av mineralen zirkon och baddeleyit från tre olika generationer av mafiska bergarter. En mafisk-ultramafisk lagrad intrusion i FiskeThe Archaean bedrock of southern Greenland (the North Atlantic Craton) is host to a large number of mafic intrusions and dyke swarms. This study present a robust U-Pb zircon age of 2990.1 ± 13 Ma for a mafic-ultramafic layered intrusion in the Fiskefjord region and four baddeleyite U-Pb ages of doleritic dykes that range between c. 2500 and c. 2050-2030 Ma. The dyke located SE of Ameralik Fjord is
Background: Lung densitometry is an effective method to assess overall progression of emphysema, but generally the location of the progression is not estimated. We hypothesized that progression of emphysema is the result of extension from affected areas toward less affected areas in the lung. To test this hypothesis, a method was developed to assess emphysema severity at different levels in the lu
We present detailed observations of the bright short-hard gamma-ray burst GRB 090510 made with the Gammaray Burst Monitor (GBM) and Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board the Fermi observatory. GRB 090510 is the first burst detected by the LAT that shows strong evidence for a deviation from a Band spectral fitting function during the prompt emission phase. The time-integrated spectrum is fit by the s
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate whether job strain, psychological demands, and decision latitude are independent determinants of disability pension rates over a 12-year follow-up period. METHODS: We studied 3,181 men and 3,359 women, all middle-aged and working at least 30 h per week, recruited from the general population of Malmö, Sweden, in 1992. The participation rate was
This thesis is an empirical study of how positioning is achieved in interactional Swedish. Positioning has previously been described in terms of epistemic modality, interpersonal positioning, stanceand speech act adverbials. The aims of the study are, firstly, to identify what linguistic resources are used to achieve positioning in interaction. A second aim is to describe where in the turn-con
Riskkapitalmarknaden kan härledas så långt tillbaka som till 1940-talet då de första private equity-investeringarna genomfördes i USA, och sedan dess har branschens utsträckning ständigt förändrats i takt med det rådande ekonomiska klimatet, både hög- och lågkonjunkturer, och är idag ett starkt etablerat fenomen även i Sverige. Private equity är den investeringsform som inom samlingsbegreppet risThe risk capital market can be traced as far back as the 1940s when the first private equity investment was made in the United States, and since then, the industry has constantly changed along with the current economic climate, and is today a strongly established phenomenon even in Sweden. The term private equity covers all investments that are made in unlisted companies and they typically involv
Sammanfattning År 1969 påbörjades en utredning som kom att resultera i lag om samboende gemensamma bostad (1973:651). Det var första gången en lag stiftades som specifikt tog syfte på samboskapet som samlevnadsform. Med lagen infördes en viss övertaganderätt av den bostad som utgjorde sambornas gemensamma hem. Lagstiftningen har utvidgats och modifierats sedan dess. I den nu gällande sambolagen (2Summary In 1969 began a legislative investigation that resulted in the law on cohabitants’ joint dwelling (1973:651). It was the first time a law was passed that specifically aimed at this form of cohabitation. The law introduced a certain right to take over the property which constituted the cohabitees’ common home. The legislation has been extended and modified since then. In the current Cohabit
During the last 10 years there has been a constantly increasing demand for micro products and components. The market demand smaller, more functional and better products. The main industries that trigger this demand are the electro-mechanical products. Problem with manufacturing these micro components has occurred with use of conventionally machines. Micro products often demands special working env
Ever since the nation-state has existed identity has been a big deal, it is told that identity is a tool needed to be able to receive consensus from the people concerned on a certain matter. As the European Union is continuously shaped and reshaped due to changing geographical borders, as a consequence of new member-states the aim to integrate the Union equally across its surface has not been an e
Can human rights education be used to implement the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) in the education system of developing countries? Can this be a way to advance child rights not only at school but also in the rest of the community? How could human rights training be used to implement the CRC's holistic approach at the global and domestic levels? These are just some of the question
Background The number and rank order of siblings could be of importance for risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Previous studies have used only fatal events for risk prediction. We, therefore, aimed to use also non-fatal coronary and cardiovascular events in fully adjusted models. Methods From the Multiple-Generation Register in Sweden, data were used from 1.36 million men and 1.32 milli
It is fair to assume that the process of standardization may have a significant impact on the development and adoption of SB. Within SB different standardization efforts have been made, but none has assumed a dominance or authority in the area. Standardization efforts within SB may differ within various technical areas, and also the basic processes of standard creation can be divided into various
This paper aimed to study the agreement and repeatability, both intra- and interobserver, of infrapopliteal lesion assessment with magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), using the TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus (TASC) II criteria, with perioperative digital subtraction angiography (DSA) as a reference. Sixty-eight patients with an MRA preceding an endovascular infrapopliteal revascularizatio

For me, life in this city begins and ends with artist-initiated networks, where energies and programmes are constantly opening and ending, keeping pace with the rate at which artist’s studios are closed and relocated. These networks establish where work is developed, shown, or both, and they affirm what is missing as much as what is made. The affective affinities that enable these associations als
There have been previous studies comparing experimental methods for the purpose of capturing gaseous yields at a range of global equivalence ratios. However, no work has investigated the capability of the open controlled atmosphere cone calorimeter for collecting such data where its two modes of operation are directly compared. The aim of this study is to compare carbon monoxide yields collected u
