Metformin is often described as the first-line medication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, not all patients respond to the drug. Researchers at Lund University have discovered a combination of biomarkers that can predict which patients will benefit from the treatment. This work is now continuing in order to confirm the results in a larger patient group, with the intention of developi

Abstract in Undetermined Packaging is of particular importance to retailers, since it can be considered an integral part of the product and the first point of contact with the brand (Rundh 2005). Over 73% of interviewed consumers rely on packaging to aid their purchasing decisions (Wells et al. 2007), and retailers are the ‘gatekeepers’ to the consumers (Dobson et al. 2003) via the retail stores,

In the second chapter there is a description of corruption today. First I will provide a definition of corruption. Many definitions exist, but the common criteria in these definitions are abuse of power for private gain to the detriment of public interest. After explaining the theoretical definition I will describe corruption in practice through providing different forms of corruption. Public sect

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. He is our least known celebrity – a man of power who took the initiative for Lund University and was literally ‘prepared for both’. The 17th century bishop Peder Winstrup is an exciting historical person – and corpse – that will now be studied in a major interdisciplinary project. For many years, a beautiful coffin ha

Uppsatsens primära syfte är att besvara vad som avses med begreppet penninglån. Subsidiära frågeställningar som besvaras är när en transaktion innebär en överträdelse av det generella låneförbudet. Låneförbudet innebär i huvudregel att ett aktiebolag inte får lämna penninglån till aktieägare, styrelseledamöter och andra som ingår i ”den förbjudna kretsen”. En stor del i bedömningen av vad som utgöThe primary aim of the paper is to answer what is meant by the concept of money lending. Secondary questions to be answered are when a transaction constitutes a violation of the general prohibition of lending. As a general rule, the prohibition on lending means that a limited liability company may not make loans of money to shareholders, directors and others who are part of the "prohibited ci

Det oförklarade lönegapet mellan könen har länge varit ett ämne av intresse för forskare och beslutsfattare, men även i den allmänna debatten. Tidigare forskning har försökt att förklara lönegapet med olika variabler, såsom förhandlingsstrategier, ingångslöner, och löneförväntningar. Denna studie har utvidgat tidigare forskning genom en undersökning av vilken roll self-efficacy har i löneanspråk.

Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) is a valid treatment option for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). The outcome of infrarenal EVAR is dependent on choosing patients with appropriate anatomy to allow for good proximal and distal seal. In the absence of an infrarenal neck of adequate length and quality, fenestrated stent-graft repair has emerged as an alternative treatment option. For the past deca

Context. The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC, respectively) are the brightest satellites of the Milky Way (MW), and for the last thousand million years they have been interacting with one another. As observations only provide a static picture of the entire process, numerical simulations are used to interpret the present-day observational properties of these kinds of systems, and mos

All over the world there is a shortage of adequate, affordable housing that enables social integration and sustainability. Many individuals and households have access to housing but live in different kinds of involuntary isolation with respect to age, gender, income, culture and ethnic background. There is a lack of housing forms that can contribute to solving these societal challenges through dif

Popular Abstract in Swedish För att tillverka en pappersbaserad förpackning är det viktigt att materialet är tillräckligt hållfast. Förpackningsmaterial består ofta av kartong, aluminium och polymerfilmer där kartong utgör den största delen av förpackningen och bidrar mest till styvheten. Det säljs årligen mer än hundra miljarder förpackningar i världen och om kostnaden samt materi- alåtgång för aContinuum based elasto-plastic-damage models for paperboard have been established in this work. The thesis begins with an introductory section that describes the mechanical properties of paperboard and some of the converting processes during forming of a package. A short review of modeling concepts that have been applied to paperboard is presented and then some key aspects and assumptions develope

Popular Abstract in Swedish Alla kemikalier vi använder oss av och utsätter oss för påverkar både oss och den omvärld vi lever i. Under hela sin livscykel har de en påverkan på miljön, från de att man utvinner råmaterialen, när de tillverkas och när vi använder dem. Till och med efter att vi använt dem har kemikalierna en påverkan på miljön. Det gäller både schampot som följer med duschvattnet ut It is of at most importance that society reduces its impact on the environment. In the chemical industry the use of renewable resources will play a fundamental role in the transition to more sustainable chemical products. Also industrial biotechnology, i.e. the use of enzymes to convert raw material into valuable chemicals at low temperatures, leads to more sustainable processes. The research pres

Popular Abstract in Swedish Energianvändningen i världen måste minska drastiskt inom en snar framtid för att därmed minska utsläppen av växthusgaser och bromsa klimatförändringarna. Energi och handlande med energikällor har även blivit nationella säkerhetsfrågor. Inom Europeiska Unionen används ungefär 40% av den totala energianvändningen i byggnader, vilket innebär ungefär 36% av det totala koldiThe use of energy is a major global issue both according to climate changes but also in the aspect of national safety tied to the trade with energy sources. Of the total energy use in the member states of the European Union, about 40% is used in residential and commercial buildings. Passive houses are one way to reduce the energy use in buildings and at the same time keep a good indoor comfort. Th

Popular Abstract in Swedish Värk i leder och muskler tillhör de vanligaste orsakerna till långtidssjukskrivningar och förtidspensioneringar. En betydande del av dessa tillstånd är orsakade av belastningsergonomiska faktorer i arbetslivet, och kan således förebyggas. Arbetsrelaterade besvär i nacke, axlar och armar är betydligt vanligare bland kvinnor än bland män. Orsakerna till detta är ofullstänWork-related musculoskeletal disorders are widespread, and are, for unclear reasons, more common among females than in males. Several risk factors have been described; constrained and awkward postures, repetitive and/or force demanding motions, and lack of recovery. The exposure to such risk factors was systematically assessed in 116 male and 206 female fish-processing industry workers. Large diff

Metal affinity tags have been fused to proteins and demonstrated to function as tools in protein purification, protein stabilisation, quantitative metal analysis and metal tolerance of bacteria and plants. In biotechnological applications proteins frequently have to function in nonnatural environments with harsh conditions which impose requirements for high stability on the proteins. Metal affini

Food engineering aspects of cooking of meat products in relation to their biophysical properties, such as water- and fat-holding, have been reviewed. Moreover, some of the new emerging, mild cooking technologies, such as high pressure and electro-based heating (radio frequency cooking and ohmic heating) have been discussed in relation to the biophysical properties of the meat products treated.
