Background: Harmful glucose exposure and absorption remain major limitations of peritoneal dialysis. We previously showed that inhibition of sodium glucose cotransporter 2 did not affect glucose transport during peritoneal dialysis in rats. However, more recently we found that phlorizin, a dual blocker of sodium glucose co-transporter 1 and 2, reduces glucose diffusion in peritoneal dialysis. Ther

Edinburgh was an Enlightenment city of regional, national and global influence. But how did the people of Enlightenment Edinburgh understand and order their world? How did they encounter, compare and produce different kinds of spaces, from the urban to the world scale? And how did this city set the universal standards by which other places should be judged and transformed?The Geographies of Enligh

Due to an increased number of complex multi- and long-term ill patients, healthcare and nursing provided in patients' homes are expected to grow. Teamwork is important in order to provide effective and safe care. As care becomes more complex, the need for teamwork in home care nursing increases. However, the literature on teamwork in the patients' home environment is limited. The aim of this study

Institutet strafföreläggande införs i svensk rätt år 1948. Syftet med systemet är att effektivt kunna lagföra lindriga och enkla brott, till exempel ringa stöld och olovlig körning. Brottmålsförfarandet tillåter den misstänkte att godkänna ett av åklagaren utfärdat strafföreläggande som avser en påföljd för ett begånget brott. Om den anklagade accepterar strafföreläggandet avstår han eller hon fråThe summary imposition of a fine is introduced into Swedish law in 1948. The purpose of the system is to take legal proceedings more efficiently against minor and simple criminal cases, such as petty theft and unlawful driving. The criminal procedure allows the suspect to approve an injunction filed by the prosecutor regarding a punishment for a committed crime. If the accused accepts the injuncti

Changes to the Education Act in 2025 will mean that school libraries will have a specific objective of promoting students' reading and media and information literacy. Meanwhile, school library spaces can vary greatly in terms of accessibility and size. The aim of this thesis is therefore to provide knowledge about how the work of school librarians is affected by the possibilities and limitatio

In this essay, I will examine what Origen of Alexandria believed about the resurrection of the body. Origen was condemned as a heretic at the Second Council of Constantinople in 553, one of the main reasons for this was that he was said to deny the physical resurrection of the body. Due to the condemnation of Origen, the work of copying his works was also stopped, with the result that many of Orig

In this work, we explore Higgs boson decays into dark matter (DM) within the context of the freeze-in mechanism under stronger coupling scenarios. Our analysis focuses on scalar DM candidates interacting through the Higgs portal, where the coupling strength can be significant without establishing thermal equilibrium, owing to a suppressed reheating temperature. We find that for DM masses as low as

Införandet av LAS-åldern i 32 a § lagen (1982:71) om anställningsskydd har etablerat en lagstadgad rätt för arbetstagare att kvarstå i arbete till 69 års ålder. Trots detta förekommer det i vissa kollektivavtal bestämmelser om åldersgränser som understiger LAS-åldern. Sådana be- stämmelser motiveras ofta av säkerhetskrav, fysiska förutsättningar eller socialpolitiska ända- mål. Syftet med uppsatseThe implementation of the LAS-age in 32 a § the Swedish Employment Protection Act (Lag (1982:71) om Anställningsskydd) has established a legal right for the employee to continue working up to 69 years of age. Despite this, certain collective agreements contain provisions on age-based mandatory resignation at a lower age. Such provisions are often justified by con- siderations relating to safety, p

The literature on diversity has grown rapidly in the last decade. Research from different areas has suggested that diversity is a critical factor in creativity, knowledge generation, innovation, and entrepreneurship at the level of organizations, cities, regions, and whole countries. This chapter introduces the topic of diversity and discusses its role for creativity, knowledge production, innovat

Heating systems must be subjected to hydraulic balancing in order to ensure proper operation. When the heating system is hydraulically imbalanced, heat is unevenly distributed across dwellings resulting in a large temperature spread, overheating, and consequently, waste of energy. In this study, we investigate the extent to which hydraulic imbalance affects the thermal energy consumption in buildi

Drawing on the theoretical framework of ‘relational work’ in economic sociology, the article examines the phenomenon of ‘precarious commitment’ – when employees’ commitment to their work and colleagues simultaneously exposes them to the risk of self-exploitation. The study analyses semi-structured interviews with game developers in the Swedish digital games industry. The article demonstrates the n

I syfte att förstå queer världsskapande praktiker – skapandet av en värld som står i motsats till hegemonisk heteronormativitet – sammanställer denna avhandling ett rörigt och rörligt arkiv av autoetnografi, intervju och film och utvecklar en kulturell analys. Ett fokus på berättande praktiker tillåter mig att spåra hur berättelser formas och förmedlas inom bredare kulturella kontexter genom situeAiming to understand practices of queer worldmaking – a world counter to hegemonic heteronormativity – my thesis brings together living and moving archives of autoethnography, interviews, and films to develop a cultural analysis. A focus on storytelling allows me to trace how stories are shaped and communicated within broader cultural contexts through situated and everyday acts of telling stories.

Precipitation is intrinsically associated with high uncertainty, which is exacerbated exponentially over time—especially concerning climate change. However, the current design practice in urban drainage infrastructure remains firmly bound to deterministic assumptions regarding the design load. This approach is too simplified—focusing only on the return period of the design event—and ignores the co

The atmospheres of ultra hot Jupiters (UHJs) are prime targets for the detection of molecules and atoms at both low and high spectral resolution. We study the atmospheres of the UHJs WASP-121b and WASP-189b by performing 3D general circulation models (GCMs) of these planets using high temperature correlated-k opacity schemes with ultra-violet (UV) absorbing species included. The GCM results are th

We provide a single letter characterization of the capacity region for independent, identically distributed, finite-state channels, with partial (quantized) state information, when the channel state information is available at the receiver. The partial state information is asymmetric at the encoders. The problem is practically relevant, and provides a tractable optimization problem. We also consid

Individuals are expected to avoid mating with relatives as inbreeding can reduce offspring fitness, a phenomenon known as inbreeding depression. This has led to the widespread assumption that selection will favour individuals that avoid mating with relatives. However, the strength of inbreeding avoidance is variable across species and there are numerous cases where related mates are not avoided. H

Extensive diversity has been identified in the human heavy chain immunoglobulin locus, including allelic variation, gene duplication, and insertion/deletion events. Several genes have been suggested to be deleted in many haplotypes. Such findings have commonly been based on inference of the germline repertoire from data sets covering antibody heavy chain encoding transcripts. The inference process

This paper discusses which freehand drawing skills a designer needs in the 21st century and why not more people are using sketching as a creative tool. Are design schools teaching the adequate skills needed today? In the past 5-10 years focus has shifted from product design to experience design and the skills needed to make high end drawings might not be needed to the same extent. 3D computational
