Context: Immune functions seem to have connections to variations in body fat mass. Studies of knockout mice indicate that endogenous interleukin (IL)-1 can suppress mature-onset obesity. Objective: To systematically investigate our hypotheses that single- nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and/or haplotypes variants in the IL-1 gene system are associated with fat mass. Subjects: The Gothenburg osteop
ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: The amplification event occurring at chromosome locus 11q13, reported in several different cancers, includes a number of potential oncogenes. We have previously reported amplification of one such oncogene, namely CCND1, to be correlated with an adverse effect of tamoxifen in premenopausal breast cancer patients. Over-expression of cyclin D1 protein, however, confers tamoxif
Inom identitetsforskning finns det olika definitioner av identitet. För att få en djupare förståelse för begreppet identitet, har jag valt att undersöka hur kosovoalbaner förhåller sig till sin identitet i ett svenskt samhälle. De empiriska uppgifterna samlades in genom kvalitativa semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Min analys baserades på begreppen identitet, tillhörighet och kultur. Baserat på det e
Digital nomadism has been around for more than two decades. Due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a shift from traditional office work to remote work, which made the digital nomad lifestyle more accessible for a larger group of individuals. Digital nomads represent a great opportunity for destinations as they help boost the local economy. Therefore, it is important for destinations t
This report is written to support SAAB Kockums AB in their investigations of whether it is necessary to replace their current Novec 1230 fire extinguishing system in electrical cabinets due to environmental restrictions, and what type of agent that would be a suitable replacement. The work focuses on determining consequences of a fire in an electrical cabinet regarding different aspects such as: f
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) is expected to have a significant effect in the use of algorithmic trading (AT). AT is already dominating the type of trading in financial markets, and ML can increase the capacity of electronic trading. The rationale of this study is to examine the current adoption of AI and ML in AT, and why trading firms in the financial industry should use
The purpose of this thesis is to examine how Sweden Democrats depicts the woman and analyzes if they use the woman to legitimize their policies. I do this by reconstructing the dominant narrative while striving to analyze how they legitimize the image of her and if they use her to legitimize their policies. The material that I use is the Sweden Democrats 'Principles Program (2011), the Swedish
Syfte: Nike lanserade år 2018 en kampanj vid namnet Dream Crazy som skapade kontroversiella reaktioner i sociala medier samt en hög grad av mediaexponering. Denna kvalitativa studie syftar till att ta reda på vad svenska studenter med åldern 19-24 tänker kring den politiska aspekten av den här kampanjen, och hur mycket det påverkar deras köpbeslut. Metod: Materialet samlades in genom djupgående pePurpose: In 2018 Nike launched an advertisement campaign called “Dream Crazy” that provoked controversial reactions in social media and large coverage in the media. This qualitative study aims to find out what Swedish students aged 19-24 think of specifically the political aspect of that campaign, and how much it matters and influences their decision making when choosing products. Methodology: Dat
The impact of trade on environmental quality has received a considerable attention, both in policy debate and in theoretical literature. However, the empirical evidence on the topic remains lagged. This thesis adds to the empirics by unearthing the relationships and decomposing the effect into scale-technique effect and trade-induced composition effect using Arellano-Bond GMM estimation technique.
After the Swedish parliamentary election in 2014, votes of no confidence became considerably more frequent; While they used to occur once or twice per decade, after the 2014 election, six votes of no confidence occurred within seven years. The purpose of this study is to explain why this happened. Furthermore, it develops a new theory for explaining by combining two existing theoretical approaches
Trots en sedan länge pågående debatt i doktrinen har både 1905 års köplag och dagens köplag tillämpats på företagsförvärv som sker genom en aktieöverlåtelse. Det är dock tydligt att lagstiftaren inte hade företagsförvärv eller aktieköp i åtanke när köplagen skrevs och reglerna tenderar därför att vara mindre lämpliga för aktieöverlåtelser vid företagsförvärv. I många situationer blir detta inget pDespite a long-standing debate in the doctrine, both the 1905 Swedish Sales of Goods Act and the current Swedish Sales of Goods Act have been applied to company acquisitions through share transfers. However, the legislator did not have company acquisitions or share purchases in mind when drafting the Sales of Goods Act and the set of rules therefore tends to be less suitable for share transfers in
In most manufacturing companies, it is necessary to carry inventory to a greater or lesser extent in order to disconnect the activities in the supply chain that are not conducted at the same pace. This way, a smoother flow through the chain, from raw material extraction to arrival at the final customer of a finished product, is facilitated. However, different parts of a company often have conflict
Using language as an instrument to achieve our visions has been the norm since the first guttural utterances of our ancestors. Our refined communication abilities of today have led mankind to achieve amazing progress, not the least of which is our ability to discuss about and plan for a sustained future. With the help of language, actors promote their often conflicting opinions about what the futu
Schizophrenia is a disease highly characterized by a disturbed perception of reality, where delusions often generate misinterpretations of the individuals perceptions. Emotion processing has been widely documented within schizophrenia, which above all has demonstrated a reduction regarding the Theory of mind. Also well documented is that individuals with schizophrenia depict a reduced perceptual a
This qualitative mixed methods case study aims to seek understanding of employer branding within the public sector from a New Public Management perspective. The chosen case is two campaigns from the Swedish Armed Forces of 2011 and 2019. Due to political changes in Sweden, the Swedish Armed Forces faced major organizational changes regarding their staffing. Through a text analysis of the commer
The article gives an overview of Crip Theory, a diverse assembly of critical perspectives on dis/ability, and outlines how it can be used to analyse social relations and intersectionality in contemporary societies. Arguing that Crip Theory is indebted not only to cultural studies but also to materialist models of disability and feminist theory, the authors conclude that it can contribute significa
Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is a malignant tumor. In a recent publication, we described the presence and distribution of CD8+ T cells in NPC and used the information to identify ‘inflamed’, ‘immune-excluded’, and ‘desert’ immune phenotypes, where ‘inflamed’ and ‘immune-excluded’ NPCs were correlated with CD8 T cell infiltration and survival. Arguably, more detailed and, in particular, spatially re

Tidigare forskning har visat att störda ätbeteenden (disordered eating/DE) är vanligt bland ungdomar, särskilt bland tonårsflickor. DE definieras som olika beteenden (t.ex. kräkningar, restriktivt ätande) och negativa attityder till ätande/kroppsform/utseende/vikt. Avhandlingen hade flera syften. (1) Att validera en svensk version av frågeformuläret RiBED-8 (risk behaviour for eating disorders) soPrevious research has described that disordered eating (DE) is common in adolescents, especially in girls. DE is defined as maladaptive behaviours (e.g., vomiting) and negative attitudes toward eating and one’s body shape, appearance, and weight. The present thesis had several aims. First, to validate a Swedish version of a Danish 8-item screening inventory, Risk Behaviour for Eating Disorders/RiB
This paper investigates the intersection of cognitive sciences and social network theory and its counterpart, the complexity sciences, aiming to shed light on the compatibility and potential integration of these frameworks into institutional theory. Institutional scholars have for long selectively adopted notions linked with the cognitive sciences and complexity sciences, such as the notion of pat
