An important background motive is the demographic transition resulting from an increasingly ageing population as one of the most important challenges of our time and a growing concern in many European countries and elsewhere. One condition for meeting t

OBJECTIVE: Genome-wide association studies have begun to elucidate the genetic architecture of type 2 diabetes. We examined whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified through targeted complementary approaches affect diabetes incidence in the at-risk population of the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) and whether they influence a response to preventive interventions. RESEARCH DESIGN

At the first Nordic meeting for linguists with a research interest in reading and writing, held in Løgumkloster, Denmark, in 1987, we reported on a longitudinal study we had just started. The aim of the study was to find out which kind of linguistic disabilities are the most damaging for the development of reading and writing (Magnusson & Nauclér 1990 a, b). When reading is looked upon as a li

The intensity of contact with foreigners and its influence on the degree of stereotyping in foreign judgments was tested with a procedure developed by Dr. Bert Westerlundh (2001). This is the first time that Dr. Westerlundh's procedure is used. It consists of a questionnaire with (1) 12 racially-ethnically explicit pictures, in this work classified as White, Black and Yellow; (2) six cartoon i

This thesis examines a water management conflict resulting from land-use change and export-oriented agricultural intensification in a geography where water is the absolute lifeline to the sustainability of a social-ecological system: the Doñana in southwestern Andalusia, in Spain. Social-ecological systems (SES) approach is the theoretical base of this research, where the Doñana SES is scrutinized

For personnel working in areas where hand disinfection is important, skin irritation on hands is a large and real problem. A solution may be a hand cream, containing ethanol, with moisturizing properties by using a Pickering emulsion. However, the effect of ethanol on a Pickering emulsion is unknown. The objective of this work was to gain understanding of this by mapping the phase diagram of trigl

Men and women have different energy needs, and the lack of access to electricity could be negatively affecting women more than men by reason of women’s typical gender norms in a society. However, previous studies and projects’ approach rarely recognize the gender dimension on energy. The aim of this thesis is to explore how access to reliable electricity though National Electrification Project’s m

Analysen genomfördes med en narrativ textanalys där totalt sex stycken artiklar om Mark Felt, personen bakom Watergate-visselblåsaren Deep Throat, och Chelsea Manning. Resultatet visar att det finns en skil

Living statues and artificial humans have a long cultural history. They are awe-inspiring because they are entangled with existentialist questions about reality, especially as regards the uncertainty of being. This article explores how humanoid material culture in its different forms was involved in the interaction between myriad human and non-human entities in seventeenth-century Sweden and in th

It shows that, in a pre-democratic state such as early twentieth-century Sweden, media events did not necessarily voice a hegemonic ideology or harmonious sense of community spirit. Rather, mediated public space, even at the commemoration of a former prime minister, could be
