BACKGROUND: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) share many pathophysiological factors including genetics, but whether epigenetic marks are shared is unknown. We aimed to test whether a DNA methylation risk score (MRS) for T2DM was associated with GDM across ancestry and GDM criteria.METHODS: In two independent pregnancy cohorts, EPIPREG (n = 480) and EPIDG (n =
This dissertation attempts to answer the question of why the 2003 armed conflict against Iraq received such varied support within the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, France and Spain. This is achieved by introducing a model in which the support for armed conflict is connected to elite persuasion operating in particular contexts. This model is tested in a comparative study, using inte

På gående fot färdas man hastigt mellan kontinenterna. Venedigbiennalen är en plats där länder kan se världen och samtidigt synas för världen. Sedan 1895 har Biennalen samlat världens främsta konstnärer och arkitekter. Sverige delar en paviljong med Norge och Finland, vilket innebär konstnärliga kompromisser och att Sveriges enbart deltar var tredje biennal. Examensarbetet föreslår en svensk natiTraveling by foot, one swiftly moves between continents. The Venice Biennale is a place where countries can see the world and, at the same time, be seen by the world. Since 1895, the Biennale has brought together the world’s leading artists and architects. Sweden shares a pavilion with Norway and Finland, which means artistic compromises and Sweden’s participation only every third Biennale. The t
Digital kommunikation medför nya möjligheter för privatpersoner och organisationer att kommunicera. Idag kan de i realtid utbyta information och på så sätt komma närmre sina intressenter. Det är dock oklart hur många som känner till vilken effekt deras digitala kommunikation har. Den här studien undersöker hur kommunala organisationer använder, mäter och utvärderar resultaten av sin digitala kommuDigital communication brings new opportunities for communication between organizations and their stakeholders. Digital channels enable exchange of information in real time and organizations recognize the benefits of having close connections to interested parties. It is however unclear how many organizations that know the effect of their digital communication efforts. This study examines how munici
The “constructivist turn” in International Relations has enhanced our understanding of the power of ideational phenomena such as ideas, norms and identity in world politics . This turn also paved the way for debates on normative power and norm transfer, which have proved to offer fruitful insights into EU normative power and the EU’s identity as an international actor. Exploring the modes of gover
Since 2009 initiatives that were selected for the roadmap of the European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures started working to build research infrastructures for a wide range of research disciplines. An important result of the strategic discussions was that distributed infrastructure scenarios were now seen as “complex research facilities” in addition to, for example traditional centralis
The years 1988-1998 were named by World Council of Churches as The Ecumenical Decade - Churches in Solidarity with Women. On a worldwide scale, the Decade challenged member churches to portray Solidarity with Women in their contexts. Churches around the world launched a variety of projects and programs for this purpose. The Decade envisaged a new fellowship of women and men in church and society,
Two sets of ribosome structures have recently led to two different interpretations of what limits the accuracy of codon translation by transfer RNAs. In this review, inspired by this intermezzo at the Ribosome Club, we briefly discuss accuracy amplification by energy driven proofreading and its implementation in genetic code translation. We further discuss general ways by which the monitoring base
Combining a theoretical discussion of the inherent paradoxes in the celebration of new media technology as a source of democratisation and empowerment of civic cultures with an empirical focus aimed at the changing communicative manifests of mediated political protest, this paper analyses two cases of media strategies in protest movements: 1) A series of civil disobedience actions and mobilisation
A new type of continuous, supermacroporous, monolithic, cryogel affinity adsorbent was developed, allowing specific fractionation and separation of human peripheral blood lymphocytes in a chromatographic format. The affinity adsorbent was used to design a novel cell separation strategy, which was based on the interaction of protein A from Staphylococcus aureus with cells bearing IgG antibodies on
In this paper, the authors show that liquid-liquid partition chromatography in an aqueous two-phase system offers unique possibilities of comparing the overall surface properties of intact antibodies in solution before and after binding of antigen. The authors demonstrate that the surface properties of antigen-antibody complexes are dependent on the variable regions of the antibodies, the nature o
Tumor-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) offer several modes of tumor cell killing, from direct cytotoxic activity to indirect mechanisms employing the host immune system, particularly its innate branch. The latter effector functions seem to dominate among clinically approved anti-cancer mAbs and major efforts are being undertaken by both academia and the pharmaceutical industry with the aim to
