Popular Abstract in English The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is increasing in epidemic proportions around the globe. This epidemic accounts for huge health and economic burdens as a leading cause for morbidity and mortality. The development of these diseases is very complex and involves both genetic and lifestyle factors. The shift to sedentary lifestyles anType 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are highly prevalent complex diseases that result from lifestyle and genetic factors. Gene-lifestyle interactions are also believed to contribute to the etiology of these diseases. The aim of this thesis was to investigate gene-lifestyle interactions using the strongest T2D and CVD susceptibility genetic loci and to understand the causal natur

It has repeatedly been shown that consumers consider the higher price of organic produce to be a barrier to buying organic food products. The present paper therefore asks whether organic consumption affects consumers’ actual total food expenditures. Food purchase data for a panel of Danish households during 2006–2014 were used to compare the total food expenditures of different organic household s

The aim of this thesis is to find out how women artists and artists from outside Europe and North America are represented in chapters 19 through 22 of the book A world history of art by Hugh Honour and John Fleming. By examining representation in this part of the book, which is about modern art from 1900 to 2012, using qualitative and quantitative content analysis as well as cultural theorist Stua

Markov Regime-Switching GARCH (MRS-GARCH) models have been gaining popularity due to their ability to account for shifts volatility regimes that tend to characterize returns series. Previous empirical studies have shown that this capacity to capture the volatility dynamics leads to a superior forecasting power of the MRS models. We investigate the performance of these models in quantifying and man

Popular Abstract in English The two most used building materials in harbor structures are undoubtedly steel and concrete.

To fully decarbonise the energy system, electrification is needed as one of the most important strategies for reducing carbon dioxide emissions in Sweden and Europe. The deployment of renewable energy resources plays a central role in electrification and will continue to increase. In January 2024, Svenska Kraftnät published a long-term market analysis with four future scenarios regarding the devel

Children are entitled to an economic standard that is comparable with the standard that their parents have. This principle is reflected in the child’s right to receive an addition to the average maintenance allowance, a so-called standard addition. In year 2013, the Supreme Court stated that a child who lives alternately with their parents are entitled to a maintenance allow-ance. By applying arti

Children in an asylum process are especially exposed in society. Therefore, a high standard is expected of the law enforcer’s investigation and assessment of the best interest of the child, within the rules for residence permit in the Aliens Act (2005:716). The regulation of the best interest of the child in the Aliens Act (2005:716) protect the child’s right to health and development which to a

Popular Abstract in English Fuel cells have been considered as alternative power source to petroleum oil. Especially, fuel cells have potentials to provide no pollutant emission (e.g., CO2, NOx, SOx) out of the power generation. For instance, once the fuel cells are installed instead of combustion engine in the cars used for commuting, transportation and leisure, the amount of pollutant emission cFuel cells are considered as a promising alternative environmentally benign power source to the existing ones depending on petroleum oil. Especially, proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) have been intensively developed during the last decade because of their wide application windows including various portable, stationary and transportation applications. The market has been and will be main

Popular Abstract in English Nowadays road, air and sea transport activities around the world are almost completely dependent on finite and polluting oil fuels. Biofuels are fuels produced from biomass which can be used to substitute gasoline and diesel in cars, busses and (soon) planes. Where oil was created millions of years ago and is soon reaching its limit, biofuels are renewable fuels which cThe dependency of transport on oil fuels is responsible for risks of energy supply security, and local, regional and global environmental problems, including the emission of greenhouse gases affecting the Earth’s climate system. Biofuels attracted considerable attention in recent years as a solution to these problems. However, the deployment of biofuel technologies poses as many opportunities to b
