This article examines the economic incentives for Europeans to migrate to the so-called 'white man's grave' of West Africa. Ignorance and coercion have been proposed as explanations for migration to high mortality areas. We use data on the Royal African Company and their European employees on the Gold Coast during the period 1707-1740. We found that the employees received a premium above the wage
This thesis examines how urban refugee economic survival is governed within Nairobi, Kenya, through the perceptions of humanitarian-development practitioners. Despite Kenya's Refugee Act 2021 representing one of the region's more progressive frameworks for refugee economic inclusion, the distance between its formal provisions and operational reality remains vast. Fourteen semi-structured i
This thesis investigates the implementation of China’s Solar Energy for Poverty Alleviation Programme (SEPAP), a state-led initiative introduced in 2014 to address rural poverty while supporting the expansion of the domestic photovoltaic (PV) industry. Rather than evaluating outcomes, the study explores how SEPAP was translated from central policy into local practice across two counties in Jiangsu
Studies the origin of the Inventio Crucis legend: the historical events behind it as well as its textual sources and antecedents. A literary interpretation of the text is then attempted, showing that the legend is influenced by Jewish traditions and adversus Iudaeos treatises. Finally, the liturgical texts used to celebrate Inventio Crucis in the Middle Ages are surveyed. Three versions of the Lat
Despite the overall rapid economical development during the last decade in China, a number of regions in remote areas are still striving to alleviate poverty. These regions are commonly characterized by low level of industrialization, poorly developed agriculture, which almost entirely relies on climate situations. Water has often been a bottle-neck in the development of the agricultural, industri
Research is not only new discoveries, experiments and insights for the initiated. You must also reach out with your research and your findings to obtain new grants, attract employees and arouse curiosity. You must quite simply communicate. The Staff Pages feature many tips about where and how you communicate with wider society, write opinion pieces, and popular science articles. There you will als

Övergripande målet för vår forskning är att undersöka hur miljöfaktorer associerade med utveckling av typ 2-diabetes (T2D) påverkar frisättning av insulin och glukagon från bukspottkörtelns Langerhanska öar. Insulin och glukagon reglerar reciprokt blodets glukosnivåer. Insulin minskar blodglukoskoncentrationer efter måltid, glukagon medverkar till ökade nivåer av glukos vid fasta och ansträngn. ViThe overall objective of our research is to investigate how Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) associated environmental factors effects the islet hormone secretion with a specific focus on how impaired exocytosis is involved in the etiology of the disease. We investigate from a cell physiological perspective the regulation of insulin and glucagon secretion from the pancreatic beta – and alpha cells, respective
Att insjukna i en reumatisk ledsjukdom innebär betydande förändringar i livet, särskilt när det sker under barndomen eller ungdomen. Vår forskning omfattar flera reumatiska och inflammatoriska tillstånd, med särskilt fokus på juvenil idiopatisk artrit (JIA), men även andra sjukdomar som Kawasakis sjukdom och MIS-C (hyperinflammation efter COVID-19-infektion). Vi bedriver både klinisk- och laboratoBeing diagnosed with a rheumatic disease entails significant life changes, especially when it occurs during childhood or adolescence. Our research encompasses several rheumatic and inflammatory conditions, with a particular focus on juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), but also other diseases such as Kawasaki's disease and MIS-C (hyperinflammation following COVID-19 infection). We conduct both cli
We are striving towards the identification of disease-modifying mechanisms that protect endogenous insulin release and diabetes development. Ion channels play overarching roles as sensors of cellular activity and control long-term adaptation of the endocrine pancreatic islet to the environmental demands. Our goals concern signals involved in cellular responses to beta-cell overload: 1)Role of vol

The way in which the large-scale cosmic environment affects galactic properties is not yet understood. Dark matter haloes, which embed galaxies, initially evolve following linear theory. Their subsequent evolution is driven by non-linear structure formation in the halo region and in its outer environment. In this work, we present the first study where we explicitly control the linear part of the e
Popular Abstract in Swedish Genom att inta en bärdryck med extra fiber från råg eller havre steg inte blodsockret och insulinnivån lika snabbt jämfört med samma måltid utan fiber i drycken. Dessutom visade ett test två timmar efter havreklimåltiden att avläsningen av insulinrelaterade gener (genuttrycket) hade nedreglerats. Andra gener som påverkades av havremåltiden var kopplade till proteinsynteIt is well established that dietary fibre, especially soluble dietary fibre, has beneficial effects and can prevent diseases associated with the modern lifestyle. This has been explained by the viscous effects of soluble fibre, which can reduce or delay the absorption of carbohydrates and fat in the small intestine, resulting in lower blood concentrations of glucose, insulin and cholesterol. Oats,
