The PNPLA3 I148M variant is the major genetic risk factor for all stages of fatty liver disease, but the underlying pathophysiology remains unclear. We studied the effect of this variant on hepatic metabolism in homozygous carriers and non-carriers under multiple physiological conditions with state-of-the-art stable isotope techniques. After an overnight fast, carriers had higher plasma β-hydroxyb

Through the Swedish employment act (Lag 1982:80 om Anställningsskydd) employers have the possibility to sign a probationary employment with the employee. The atypical contracts are constructed according to the preparatory work to give the employee enough time to prove his or hers skill and also for the employer to determine if the employee is suitable for the establishment.

Mitochondrial DNA defects were known to be associated with a wide spectrum of human diseases and patients might present a wide range of clinical features in various combinations. In the current study, we described a patient with psychomotor and neurodevelopmental delay, mild hyperintensity of posterior periventicular white matter, generalized clonic seizures, leukodystrophy, and congenital deafnes

(Z)‐11‐hexadecenyl acetate (Z‐11–16:Ac), (Z)‐11‐hexadecenal (Z‐11–16:Ald), (Z)‐11‐hexadecenol (Z‐11–16:OH) and hexadecanyl acetate (16:Ac) were found in pheromone gland extracts of female Mamestra suasa (Den. et Schiff.) in the relative amounts 100/2/10/5. All four compounds were also present in collections of airborne volatiles from calling females in a 100/7/5/5 ratio. No traces of 14 carbon ald

Habitat fragmentation is a common problem in relation with road infrastructure which leads to mortality, isolation of animal populations, and has a negative effect on biodiversity. Animal crossings have been implemented in many countries and are a useful tool to mitigate these problems but they are expensive to build. This thesis explores the methodological approaches used to evaluate how wildlife

Today about 1 billion people are experiencing a violation towards their human right to food. Since the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights the question of food have been debated in the for a of development. How we look at development is based on out conceptual frameworks, on our knowledge about the world we live in and how which ways we want to see it prosper. In this thesis I e

After a recent discussion in the media about suitability and role lay judges in the courts, I thought their role and function should be investigated further as it is both an interesting and topical issue. The purpose of this study was to determine if lay judges follow the legal standards that govern their work and if there are trends that suggest that political views can influence the verdict, and

Several reports have the past few years alerted the European Union of possible violations of the rights of refugees in Greece, violations that are in direct conflict with several key regulations and directives, such as the Dublin Regulation. The Europe

The purpose of this study was to examine how commitment to a cause on a local basis had developed in four smaller groups during one decade. In 1996 I interviewed representatives in Åsele, Borrby, Hasslarp and Tving about their commitment and citizen initiative. Now, ten years later, I followed it up by interviewing them again. I wanted to know if the groups/associations still existed, if they had

I denna uppsats söker vi genom att jämföra en före detta kommunistisk auktoritär stat, exemplet Polen, med en före detta fascistisk auktoritär stat, exemplet Portugal, finna svar på om en socialistisk ideologi gynnas mer i ett före detta fascistiskt system samt, som en bifråga, om dessa stater genom sin historiskt starka koppling till respektive ideologi påverkats i sin omvandling till moderna dem
