The incretin hormone glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) promotes glucose homeostasis and enhances -cell function. GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, which inhibit the physiological inactivation of endogenous GLP-1, are used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Using the Metabochip, we identified three novel genetic loci with large effects (30-40%) on G
Prolonged periods of allopatry might result in loss of the ability to discriminate against other formerly sympatric species, and can lead to heterospecific matings and hybridization upon secondary contact. Loss of premating isolation during prolonged allopatry can operate in the opposite direction of reinforcement, but has until now been little explored. We investigated how premating isolation bet

Currently, there is increasing competition for waste as feedstock for the growing number of biogas plants. This has led to fluctuation in feedstock supply and biogas plants being operated below maximum capacity. The feasibility of supplementing a protein/lipid-rich industrial waste (pig manure, slaughterhouse waste, food processing and poultry waste) mesophilic anaerobic digester with carbohydrate
Koncentrationen av koldioxid i atmosfären har ökat sedan den förindustriella eran, mellan åren 1000 och 1750, från 280 parts per million ( ppm – miljondelar ) till 368 ppm år 2000 vilket motsvarar ungefär 31 %. Enligt de sex illustrativa utsläppsscenariernas, utsago ( Special Report on Emissions Scenarios, SRES ) kommer koncentrationen av koldioxid vara mellan 540 och 970 ppm år 2100 ( IPCC, 2001 The carbon dioxide concentration has increased ever since the industrial revolution. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ( IPCC ) the carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere will continue to rise. It will rise from today’s 360 parts per million ( ppm ) to somewhere between 540 and 970 ppm in the year 2100. By then, the average temperature will have increased with 1,4

One big problem is the question: who feels responsible for these problems and does our society services allow older citizens to speak about anxiety if the elderly people feel
Detta är en kandidatuppsats skriven vid Lunds Universitet i samarbete med E.ON Vind Sverige AB. Uppsatsen är en studie i hur det omgivande landskapet påverkar vindklimatet på en specifik plats. För att undersöka teorin om landskapets påverkan på vinden har tre olika mätmaster valts ut: en placerad i havet, en på slättland och en i skogsmiljö. Samtliga är landskapstyper representerade inom den svenThis is a bachelor thesis written at Lund University in cooperation with E.ON Vind Sverige AB. The thesis is a study that investigates how the surrounding landscape affects the wind climate at a specific site. The wind data used comes from three different met masts situated in the ocean, on plain land and in woodland respectively. The wind analysis is based on five parameters: turbulence intensity
