Unhealthful lifestyles underpin much of the burden of cardiometabolic disease affecting contemporary societies. Our overarching objective is to discover and optimise measurable biomarkers that can be used to stratify patient populations into subgroups that can be treated more effectively with targeted lifestyle therapies, at lesser cost and with fewer adverse events than conventional approaches
Forskargruppen som leds av professor Kristina Sundquist är baserad inom ett dynamiskt forskningsinstitut, CPF (Centrum för Primärvårdsforskning) som grundades på fyra pelare: klinisk, epidemiologisk, samhällsvetenskaplig och experimentell forskning. Den forskning som gruppen utför är både klinisk och epidemiologisk, och dess huvudsakliga fokus är att besvara frågor relevanta för primärvården. ViktThe research group led by Professor Kristina Sundquist is based within a dynamic research institute, the CPF (Center for Primary Health Care Research) that was founded on four pillars: clinical, epidemiologic, social science, and experimental research. The research performed by the group is both clinical and epidemiologic, and its main focus is to answer primary health care-related questions. Key
A new influenza virus that was first detected in people in April 2009, was initially referred to colloquially as "swine flu", since it contained genes from swine, avian and human influenza viruses. It can, however, not be transmitted by eating pork or dealing with pigs. In Egypt, several hundred thousand pigs were killed in May, in spite of advice from global health authorities that such an action
This study presents a conceptual framework for assessing the sustainability of the forest-based economy and resulting synergies and trade-offs between forest harvest, carbon sequestration, and biodiversity conservation. The framework adopts a comprehensive systems approach to map economic activities and associated flows of resources and embodied environmental impacts along the value chain. It buil
With the recent expansions of the European Union, there are now 12 new member states that are implementing European policy. One of these policies, with implications for energy production and security, is the Common Agricultural Policy. This article will focus on the impact the Common Agricultural Policy can have on farmers in Poland who have been encouraged by calls to cultivate energy crops. In a
BACKGROUND: Leptospirosis, caused by spirochetes of the genus Leptospira, is one of the most widespread zoonoses worldwide. Efficient diagnostic methods for early diagnosis of leptospirosis are still lacking, and acute disease presents with nonspecific symptomatology and is often misdiagnosed. The leptospires pathogenic processes and virulence mechanisms remain virtually unknown. In severe infecti
Background and Objectives. Osteopontin (OPN) is a non-collagenous matrix protein produced by various cells including osteoblasts, osteoclasts and several types of tumor cells. It is involved in a number of physiologic and pathologic events including adhesion, angiogenesis, apoptosis, inflammation, wound healing and tumor metastasis. We wanted to investigate the potential role of OPN in multiple my
Our research aims to develop an intelligent control system for optimizing the operation of lighting systems for a jogging track in the countryside by using adaptive control methods, and optimization of built-in lighting control. Through this, lighting systems will be optimized, energy consumption will be minimized and the lighting system will be adapted to be able to handle a larger amount of loca
Bioenergi spelar idag en stor roll i det svenska energisystemet ur klimat- och energisäkerhetssynpunkt men vilken roll kan inhemsk bioenergi komma att spela framöver för att Sverige ska bli ett fossilfritt samhälle med nettonollutsläpp 2050? Syftet med detta arbete är att utifrån olika perspektiv beskriva viktiga förutsättningar, skeenden och förändringar som kan spela roll för utveckling av inhem
Since the energy required in the paper drying process gives rise to substantial costs for the paper producing companies, it is of great interest to reduce the input of primary energy resources to the dryer. Either process changes or further heat recovery can be employed. A simulation tool was developed, using the programming tool Extend, with the aim to accurately describe the energy use and costs
I denna tvärvetenskapliga och internationellt förankrade forskningsmiljö undersöker vi å ena sidan hur rätten hanterar människor i utsatta positioner och å andra sidan hur de kan tillvarata sin rätt. Utgångspunkten är att möjligheten att tillvarata sin rätt kan förhindras eller försvåras om man befinner sig i en utsatt position, som barn, ungdom, gammal, sjuk, fattig eller hemlös. Konkret innebär We study how law treats people in vulnerable positions and how these people can make use of law. We are also interested in how the judicial system views individuals in relations to their context and to societal structures. The possibility to make use of one’s right can be obstructed or aggravated in a vulnerable situation, as a child or youth or old, disabled, poor or homeless person. Our research
Projektet Sol i gemenskap: deltagande, organisation och regelverk (SiG) syftade till att undersöka hur deltagande, organisation och regelverk påverkar de allmänna villkoren för så kallade ”solgemenskaper” samt vilka grupper som investerar i gemensamt ägd solelproduktion i Sverige. Det har gjorts genom en kartläggning av befintliga solgemenskaper och re-gelverk för gemensamt ägd elproduktion i Sver
