Background and Aims: While the development of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in childhood is in part genetically conditioned, non-genetic/environmental factors seem to play a decisive role in its aetiology. The incidence of T1D has been increasing rapidly during the last years, and its prevalence is higher in countries of high economical welfare like Sweden. Therefore, both from an aetiological and a publi

Popular Abstract in Swedish Förlossnings- och barnläkare har i många år sökt efter ett instrument för utvärdering av det nyfödda barnets hälsotillstånd. Virginia Apgar introducerade 1953 ett poängsystem som bygger på en subjektiv bedömning av barnets hudfärg, hjärtfrekvens,reflexer/retbarhet, muskeltonus och andning. Koncentrationen i blodet av olika gaser, syror och baser speglar också det nyföddAcid-base status in umbilical cord blood is an objective measure of the fetus’ exposure to and ability to handle hypoxia. The objective of this thesis was to clarify some of the methodological pitfalls in interpreting umbilical cord blood gases and lactate values at birth. Study I pinpoints the methodological confounding in calculating base deficit (BD) with algorithms used in different brands of

Unga vuxna nämns ofta som bland de mest ekonomiskt utsatta grupperna och Sverige karakteriseras ofta som ett av de länder i EU som har de mest skuldsatta hushållen. Även om hushållens skuldsättning främst är kopplad till bostadslån, har även andra former av kreditanvändning blivit allt vanligare. Mot bakgrund av en ökande tillgången till lättillgängliga konsumentkrediter, en tuff bostadsmarknad meYoung adults are often mentioned as among the most financially vulnerable groups, and Sweden is often characterized as being one of the countries in the EU with the most indebted households. While this houshold indebtedness mainly is linked to home loans, also other forms of credit usage have become increasingly common. Given the increasing access to readily availabe consumer credits, a difficult

It is well known that the intensive biogeochemical activity in hyporheic zone of groundwater and antibiotic contaminated river water induced the pollution diffusion and variation of biogeochemical transformation. However, the complex interaction process caused by water level fluctuation is difficult to accurately depict on a larger, catchment scale. Therefore, a loosely coupled HYDRUS-3D/GMS was e

BackgroundMuch longitudinal research has been carried out on non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) during the last decades, but there still is a lack of studies of the individual developmental pathways of NSSI from adolescence into young adulthood. The aim of the present study was to investigate individual developmental pathways of repetitive non-suicidal self-injury (repNSSI) from adolescence into youn

En större mängd kvartsavslag och brända ben, upptäckta vid rekognosering (Norrbottens Museum) av hyggesberedda ytor norr om byn Sammakko, c. 40 km SO Gällivare, har tolkats att indikera ett kortvarigt använt boplatsområde.

High resolution observations with ALMA have revealed that concentric rings and gaps are common features in protoplanetary disks. The favored mechanism for creating these substructures are planet-disk interactions, in which growing planets open gaps in the disk, and particles become trapped at the pressure maxima that form at the corresponding gap edges. Since the particle density in these pressure

Popular Abstract in SwedishEn av de viktigaste forskningsfrågorna inom matematikutbildning handlar om förståelse. Det huvudsakliga syftet med den här avhandlingen har varit att nå insikt i olika förståelseformer i skolmatematik och former av lärandeidentiteter i två lärandemiljöer. Avhandlingens specifika fokus var flexibla sätt att urskilja delar och avgränsa helheter och undersöka hur lärande inA central question in mathematics education research concerns understanding. The main objective of the present thesis has been to obtain insights into flexible modes of knowing in school mathematics in two school class contexts, and how these relate to modes of being a learner in these contexts, with specific focus on learners’ flexible ways of discerning parts and delimiting wholes, and how they

Summary. Proceeding from the assumption that metaphors as well as pictures are iconic signs, the present contribution studies what happens when metaphors occur in figurative pictures. The author distinguishes between primary iconicity, the reco¬gnition of which is a condition for the categorization of an object as a sign, and secondary iconicity, which is perceived only after an object has been ca

Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med denna avhandling är att bidra till vår förståelse för vårdutnyttjande och dess förklaringsfaktorer i utvecklingsländer, speciellt i sub-sahariska Afrika. Detta görs genom att fokusera på sjukvårdsutgifter och dess förklaringsfaktorer, samt valet att söka vård för att bota åkomman. Datamaterialete som används kommer från en hushållsundersökning från 1998 omfatThe aim of this thesis is to contribute to our understanding of health care utilisation and its determinants in developing countries, especially in sub-Saharan Africa. This is done by explicitly focusing on health care expenditures and its determinants as well as the choice to seek health care to cure the illness. Firstly, the focus is on a household’s expenditures for health care. The aim of this

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur kommer det sig att liknande reformprogram återfinns i olika länder? Varför väljs vissa idéer framför andra? Avhandlingen syftar till att öka förståelsen av så kallad policydiffusion, spridning av olika typer av policy, och den dynamik som omgärdar spridningen. Detta görs genom att undersöka hur externa, eller utländska, idéer integreras och översätts i en ny omgivniSimilar policies may be found in different countries. This, in turn, is an indication that policies travel. But why are certain policies imitated while others are not? The author seeks to further our understanding of policy diffusion and its dynamics by investigating how foreign ideas are integrated and translated into new contexts, and how these imported ideas influence national policymaking and

The aims of the present study were to determine whether a parental history of any fracture or hip fracture specifically are significant risk factors for future fracture in an international setting, and to explore the effects of age, sex and bone mineral density (BMD) on this risk. We studied 34,928 men and women from seven prospectively studied cohorts followed for 134,374 person-years. The cohort

The scheme of concepts we employ in daily life to explain intentional behaviour form a belief-desire model (BD model), in which motivating states are sorted into two suitably broad categories. The BD model embeds a philosophy of action, i.e. a set of assumptions about the ontology of motivation with subsequent restrictions on psychologising and norms of practical reason. A comprehensive critique o

This doctoral dissertation concerns two-dimensional frequency estimation for modal analysis of single-input multiple-output impact responses from circularly cylindrical objects. The application is within detection of internal defects in trunks of spruce. The material consists of impact responses from 94 trees, with 66 sound and 28 in various stages of decay. Paper I proposes that modal analysis o

Popular Abstract in Swedish Stora förändringar har skett i jordbrukslandskapet under det senaste drygt halva århundradet. Ett allt intensivare jordbruk med krav på större skördar för att möta en allt större efterfrågan på livsmedel har satt sina spår. För att klara de högre kraven, men också som en följd av den teknologiska utvecklingen, så har jordbruket rationaliserats. Landskapet har strukturerAgricultural intensification has caused severe declines among biodiversity in European farmland over the last half century. The transformation of the agricultural landscape has led to reduced availability of key resources such as food, nesting habitat and shelter. In this thesis I have investigated a way of ameliorating the negative effects of agricultural intensification, through the creation of

Popular Abstract in Swedish Från skärva till kärl fokuserar på ett arkeologiskt massmaterial, en materialkategori som är särskilt vanlig framför andra bland de arkeologiska fynden. Skärvor är fragment av keramiska kärl och analysen kommer att färdas från det lilla till det något större - från skärva till kärl. I centrum återfinns de kärl som varit i bruk i Uppsala från 1100-talets mitt till 1700-tAbstract From Sherd to Pot. A Contribution to the History of Everyday Life in Uppsala tackles the question: how is the culturally created reality produced, fixed, and changed, and how can this be related to the social structure as a whole? The hypothesis is that changes in society result in new cultural patterns which can be read in objects. The work consists of three main parts, an extensive summ

Future anthropogenic climate change is likely to increase the air temperature (T a ) across Europe and increase the frequency, duration and magnitude of severe heat stress events. Heat stress events are generally associated with clear-sky conditions and high T a , which give rise to high radiant heat load, i.e. mean radiant temperature (T mrt ). In urban environments, T mrt is strongly influenced

Den här uppsatsen behandlar frågan om det finns en rätt till anticipatoriskt självförsvar inom folkrätten. Terroristattacken mot USA 11 september 2001 väckte frågan om vilka legala medel det fanns för att förhindra liknande attacker i framtiden. Det existerade redan en rätt till självförsvar för stater men det började flitigt debatteras kring huruvida den fick användas i preventivt syfte. För att This paper addresses the question whether there is a right to anticipatory self-defence in international law. The terrorist attack on the United States 9/11 2001 raised the question of what legal means there was to prevent similar attacks in the future. There already existed a right to self-defence for states but the question that was debated was whether it could be used as a preventive measure. T
