OBJECTIVE-The incretin hormone GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) promotes pancreatic beta-cell function by potentiating insulin secretion and beta-cell proliferation. Recently, a combined analysis of several genome-wide association studies (Meta-analysis of Glucose and Insulin-Related Traits Consortium [MAGIC]) showed association to postprandial insulin at the GIP receptor (GIPR)
Problem: The Chinese WEEE recycling market is today operated mostly by the informal sector. As this sector eludes the insufficiently enforced environmental laws the e-waste is recycled by means not only harmful to the environment and people working with the recycling process, but it also utilizes methods that do not recover valuable materials in a sound and efficient way. Many companies stand read
The underwater noise has a significant negative impact on marine animals. The EU has made efforts to keep noise emission within sustainable limits, but only in regards to boats with Automatic Identification System (AIS). The noise of recreational boats, which are the main noise emitter in coastal areas, is overlooked. Thus, there is a need to quantify the noise emitted by recreational boats and, iStudies have shown that the underwater noise undoubtedly has a negative impact on marine animals. The EU have made efforts to keep the noise emission within sustainable limits, but mainly in regards to commercial freight ships. This means that noise from recreational boats, which are the main noise emitter in coastal areas, are overlooked. The noise from recreational boats is also under-investigat
The human brain has a built-in capacity to perform selective hearing, allowing us to focus on a single speaker in noisy environments while subconsciously filtering out background chatter and other noise. This ability is colloquially known as the cocktail party effect and is often impaired in individuals with reduced hearing or other neurological conditions. This results in an overall reduced quali
Konstruktiv länkning, studentaktivitet och föreläsningar är tre grundstenar i högre utbildning. Men föreläsningen som undervisningsform har kritiserats: ”Det finns gott om högskolepedagogisk litteratur som förklarar varför föreläsningen är olämplig för att stimulera lärande. Ändå fortsätter vi föreläsa”, skriver Andreas Håkansson (2017, s. 40) i en artikel som trots allt landar i att denna undervi
Fermentering av äpple - På gott och ont Fermentation, eller jäsning, av mat och dryck har varit känt under tusentals år. Fördelarna med fermenterade livsmedel är bl. a. att de blir mer lättsmälta, innehåller fler syntetiserade näringsämnen, minskar eller tar bort sjukdomsalstrande bakterier (patogener) samt ökar den probiotiska floran i tarmen. Under fermenteringen kan det skapas etanol - den mes
Popular Abstract in Swedish Nanotekniken håller i skrivande stund på att revolutionera samhället med nya innovationer inom exempelvis elektronik och medicin. En viktig del i detta är utvecklingen av nya och förbättrade sätt att avbilda strukturer av nanometerstorlek (en nanometer är en miljarddels meter). Avancerade karakteriseringsmetoder skapar en ökad förståelse för hur nanostrukturer beter sigUltrafast nano-optics is a new and quickly evolving research field centred around the control, manipulation, and application of light on a nanometre and femtosecond scale. This can lead to improved electro-optical devices, more sensitive spectroscopy, and real-time control of chemical reactions. However, understanding the simultaneous nanometre and femtosecond evolution of nano-optical fields requ
A Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE) has been conceived and constructed as a heavy-ion experiment at the LHC. During LHC Runs 1 and 2, it has produced a wide range of physics results using all collision systems available at the LHC. In order to best exploit new physics opportunities opening up with the upgraded LHC and new detector technologies, the experiment has undergone a major upgrade duri
Animals live in diverse environments and have evolved to cope with environmental challenges in different ways. How such adaptations shape overall brain morphology is still unclear. Here, we test how two behavioural adaptations – circadian activity pattern and migratory behaviour – are reflected in the brains of moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera). We predicted that circadian activity pattern affec
This thesis explores how time is represented in movies. It focuses on the challenges and possibilities that faces both the filmmakers and the audience in creating and interpreting a timeline. The investigation begins with a study of narrative tools used in movies that are characterised by a traditional, linear timeline where events are linked by cause and effect and continues with an investigation

This chapter aims to discuss the meaning and implication, in terms of international law, of the concept of permanence with accountability in the framework of the tenth Review Conference of the States party to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and in the interval between this and the next Review Conference. After contextualizing the concept of permanence with accountabili
Background:In early breast cancer, five histopathological biomarkers are part of current clinical routines and used for determining prognosis and treatment: estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PgR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (ERBB2/HER2), Ki67, and Nottingham histological grade (NHG). We aimed to develop classifiers for these biomarkers based on tumor mRNA-sequencing (RNA
Background When the lectinlike oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox LDL) receptor-1 ( LOX -1), a scavenger receptor for ox LDL , binds ox LDL , processes leading to endothelial dysfunction and inflammation are promoted. We aimed to study release mechanisms of LOX -1 and how circulating levels of soluble LOX -1 ( sLOX -1) relate to plaque inflammation and future risk for ischemic stroke. Methods an

As observed in earlier studies, there is evidently a performance gap between the predicted annual energy use from building performance simulations basedon traditional deterministic methods compared to the monitored annual energy use of a building. The hypothesis is that using a probabilistic method makes it possible to consider the uncertainties in the input data and quantify the overall uncertainAs observed in earlier studies, there is evidently a performance gap between the predicted annual energy use from building performance simulations based on traditional deterministic methods compared to the monitored annual energy use of a building.

Variation of the blood content of the pulmonary vascular bed during a heartbeat can be quantified by pulmonary blood volume variation (PBVV) using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The aim was to evaluate if PBVV differs in patients with heart failure compared to healthy controls and investigate the mechanisms behind the PBVV. Forty-six patients and 10 controls underwent MRI. PBVV was calculated f
