The signing of the North Atlantic Treaty on the 4th of April 1949 became a watershed for the Nordic states and divided the normally very homogenous groupinto two separate camps. By examining this phenomenon from three different methodological approaches, this thesis aims to explain why the division occurred. The methodological approaches are sectioned into macro meso and micro levels in order to d
This is a study of uncertainty in the corporate setting from the perspective of individual employees. While some interviewees talk about accepting uncertainty as an unavoidable state, others tell stories of dread and anguish, associated with instability in the work environment. This research shows how uncertainty as a stress inducing factor can affect both productivity and employee wellbeing, by r
Studiens syfte var att utforska hur homosexuella, bisexuella, transpersoner och queera (hbtq-personer) i Sverige hanterar minoritetsstress. Forskning tyder på att utsatthet för minoritetsstress är förena med försämrad psykisk och fysisk hälsa. Det är därmed viktigt att utforska hur minoritetsstress hanteras av hbtq-personer. I denna kvalitativa studie undersöktes detta genom semistrukturerade inteThe aim of the study was to explore how gender and sexual minorities in Sweden cope with minority stress. Research indicates that minority stress is associated with impaired physical and mental health. It is therefore important to explore how gender and sexual minorities cope with minority stress. In this qualitative study this was explored through semi-structured interviews with participants who
AIMS: Although the epidemiological association between Type 2 diabetes and congestive heart failure (CHF) as well as cardiovascular disease (CVD) is well established, associations between diabetes-related single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), CHF, and CVD have been surprisingly inconclusive. Our aim is to examine if 43 diabetes-related SNPs were associated with prevalent diastolic dysfunction as
The human L3MBTL gene is located in 20q12, a region that is commonly deleted in myeloproliferative disorders (MPD), myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). L3MBTL is highly homologous to the D-lethal(3) malignant brain tumor [D-l(3)mbt] gene, which is a putative tumor-suppressor gene (TSG) identified in Drosophila and which is closely related to the Drosophila sex combs
Purpose: Dronedarone may increase digoxin plasma levels through inhibition of P-glycoprotein. Using real-world data, we evaluated the risk of digitalis intoxication in concomitant users of dronedarone and digoxin compared digoxin-alone users. Methods: We used the Clinformatics DataMart, a US claims database, to identify adult patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) or atrial flutter (AFL) who conco

Irradiating a flame by microwave radiation is one of several plasma-assisted combustion (PAC) technologies that can be used to modify the combustion chemical kinetics in order to improve flame-stability and to delay lean blow-out. One practical implication is that engines may be able to operate with leaner fuel mixtures and have an improved fuel flexibility capability including biofuels. In additi
We have previously proposed the use of Doppler ultrasound to non-invasively stage sinus infection, as we showed that acoustic streaming could be generated in nonpurulent sinus secretions and helped to distinguish it from mucopurulent sinus secretions. In order to continue this development of a clinically applicable Doppler equipment, we need to determine different dimensions of the paranasal sinus
We present evidence of a submerged early Holocene landscape off the Blekinge coastline in the Baltic Sea, dating to the Yoldia Sea and Initial Littorina Sea Stages when the water level was lower than at present. 14C dated wood remains obtained by surveillance diving and new archaeological findings in combination with bathymetric analyses and interpolations between other sites across the Baltic Sea
Background: Degraded extracellular matrix can stimulate the innate immune system via the Toll-Like Receptor-4 (TLR4). In the pancreas, syndecan-anchored heparan sulphate (HS) on the ductal epithelium can be cleaved off its protein cores by the proteases (trypsin and elastase) and potentially activate TLR4 signalling. Methods: To investigate this signalling event, a low sulphated HS (500 mu g/ml) w
A statistical study of data containing observations of process and quality variables from the SCA paper mill in Munksund, Sweden, is presented. The emphasis in this analysis has been on modelling the laboratory collected paper quality variables by means of the data available on-line, during production. The primary tool for prediction, or estimation at non observed time instants, of variables was
With the rapid growth of mobile communication systems, massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology plays a key role in enhancing communication systems to meet growing data traffic demands. However, scaling the technology further challenges the system designers to balance design tradeoffs in order to provide efficient and low-cost communication systems. This requires efficient hardware
Automotive brake rotors are commonly made from gray cast iron (GCI). During usage, brake rotors are gradually worn off and periodically replaced. Currently, replaced brake rotors are mostly remelted to produce brand-new cast iron products, resulting in a relatively high energy consumption and carbon footprint into the environment. In addition, automotive brakes emit airborne particles. Some of the
A commercially available fuel, E85, a blend of ~85% ethanol and ~15% gasoline, can be a viable substitute for fossil fuels in internal combustion engines in order to achieve a reduction of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Ethanol is traditionally made of biomass, which makes it a part of the food-feed-fuel competition. New processes that reuse waste products from other industries have recently
Delivering essential services to burgeoning peri-urban cities in the Sub-Sahara will only become an increasing challenge, as the population in this region is expected to double by 2050. Finding effective governance arrangements, institutional settings and building participatory arenas that give a greater voice to citizens and foster greater responsiveness from democratic authorities is a delicate
