Popular Abstract in Swedish Graviditetsdiabetes (GDM) definieras som nedsatt glukostolerans av varierande svårighets¬grad som upptäcks under graviditet och som oftast försvinner efter förlossning. GDM innebär ökad risk för såväl moder som barn. Kvinnor med GDM föder ofta stora barn och har ökad risk för komplikationer i samband med förlossningen. GDM-prevalensen varierar avsevärt mellan olika popuGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a heterogeneous disorder that is defined as carbohydrate intolerance with onset or first recognition during pregnancy. Impaired beta-cell function and insulin resistance are the hallmarks of GDM. The overall aim of this thesis was to study the genetic and immunological risk factors that increase susceptibility to GDM. First, we investigated whether autoimmuni

Popular Abstract in Swedish I Sverige har andelen förtidspensionärer ökat under lång tid och uppgick år 1998 till 7.6% av befolkningen i arbetsför ålder (16-64 år). Den vanligaste orsaken till att en individ förtidspensioneras är reducerad arbetsförmåga till följd av problem i rörelseorganen. Kunskaperna om förtidspensionärers livskvalitet är bristfälliga. Syftet med denna studie var att studera lThe starting-point of this thesis was the high rate of disability pensioners in Sweden and the lack of knowledge about what a disability pension entails for quality of life (QL). The aim of the study was to gain knowledge about QL among disability retirees with musculoskeletal disorders (ERPs). A questionnaire was sent in 1992 to 450 ERPs in Kristianstad Municipality, Sweden, granted their disabil

Detta examensarbete var en del i ett forskningsprojekt som utfördes vid avdelningen för maskinkonstruktion vid Lunds tekniska högskola och gick ut på att studera hur metodiken kring produktutveckling används hos ett antal företag i praktiken och jämföra detta med metodiken från litteraturen och det som lärs ut vid Lunds tekniska högskola, för att identifiera brister i modellerna och fungera som etThis Master´s Thesis is part of a larger research project carried out at the Division of Machine Design, Department of Design Science, LTH, and is about studying the product development methodologies applied in the industry and compare these to the methodologies described in the literature and taught at LTH. The first part of the assignment consisted in studying the existing methodologies about pr

Under våren och sommaren 2012 rasade i Sveriges kulturmedier klasshatsdebatten, sedan poeten Johan Jönson läst upp en av sina dikter på Dramaten. Vänsterdebattörerna uppträdde med stor teoretisk variation: här blandades Lenin, Foucault och Branting. Uppsatsen undersöker om dikten (och dess uppläsning) tillsammans med sina publicerade reaktioner sa någonting om ambivalensen inom dagens vänster. Fok

In Political Science a main theory is that a minimal winning coalition (MWC) will participate in the government. The parties included have to share the power of government. Therefore the winning coalition to be expected is the one including the fewest parties possible. My paper will atempt to examine if this is the main pattern in Swedish municipalities. My experience indicates that the ?Alliance

This thesis deals with the theories of ecological and environmental justice and applies them onto Swedish politics. Confronting the divide in the literature between anthropocentric and ecocentric perspectives, its aim is to seek points of agreement within this important field of environmental politics. In the theoretical discussion, definitions are made of the concepts sustainability, justice and

This research will attempt to reveal some major fault lines of the Basel III Capital Accords concerning Banking Regulation. It will consider some shortcomings of the previous rounds and scrutinise Basel III’s attempts to address the same issues. I have provided some idealised recommendations from various authors based upon previous problems and attempt to analyse where Basel III falls short agains

Many natural language processing systems rely on machine learning models that are trained on large amounts of manually annotated text data. The lack of sufficient amounts of annotated data is, however, a common obstacle for such systems, since manual annotation of text is often expensive and time-consuming. The aim of “PAL", a tool for Pre-annotation and Active Learning” is to provide a ready-made

Objective: Inflammation is associated with major depressive disorder (MDD) and suicidal behavior. According to the ‘leaky gut hypothesis’, increased intestinal permeability may contribute to this relationship via bacterial translocation across enterocytes. We measured plasma levels of gut permeability markers, in patients with a recent suicide attempt (rSA), MDD subjects with no history of a suici

The pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) involves the accumulation of aggregated -synuclein, which has been suggested to begin in the gastrointestinal tract. Here, we determined the capacity of the appendix to modify PD risk and influence pathogenesis. In two independent epidemiological datasets, involving more than 1.6 million individuals and over 91 million person-years, we observed that rem

Major depressive disorder (MDD) has been linked to mitochondrial defects, which could manifest in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) polymorphisms or mutations. Additionally, copy number of mtDNA (mtDNA-cn) can be quantified in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC)s, indirectly reflecting cellular energetics, or in the circulating cell-free mtDNA (ccf-mtDNA) levels, which may reflect a fraction of the

Modernpassive design concepts have learned to build upon climate responsive methodology that was found in andinspired from vernacular and traditional buildings. With the present energy crises in Egypt there is a currentfocus on the development of climate sensitive design building approaches. It will be the thrust of

Some first investigations have focused on the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic for the general mental health after its outbreak in 2020. According to multiple self-reporting surveys, symptoms of stress, anxiety, and depression have risen worldwide. Even some studies based on health care records start to be published, providing more objective and statistically reliable results. Additionally, c
