Context: Nonfasting (postprandial) triglyceride concentrations have emerged as a clinically significant cardiovascular disease risk factor that results from accumulation of remnant triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs) in the circulation. The remnant TRLs are cleared from the circulation by hepatic uptake, but the specific mechanisms involved are unclear. The syndecan-1 heparan sulfate proteoglyca

We describe a simple method to detect significant changes of the total ozone column from global (diffuse and direct) zenith sky measurements taken at the Earth’s surface. The calculation of the total ozone column relies on measured irradiance at two wavelengths in the ultra violet part of the solar spectrum. One of these (i.e. 306 nm) are appreciable absorbed by ozone whereas the other (i.e. 360 n

OBJECTIVE: People with disabilities find it harder to enter the labour market than people without disabilities and those with a mental illness are, in relation to people with other disabilities, employed at an essentially lower extent. Many are effectively helped by the vocational rehabilitation model Individual Placement and Support (IPS), but there are still many individuals left in undesired un

The role of miRNAs in pancreatic islets and β-cell function and in the development of diabetes in human and rodents have been investigated in this thesis. Dicer1 was specifically deleted in vivo in pancreatic β-cells under the RIP-promoter in mice. The results show that disruption of miRNAprocessing in mouse pancreatic β-cells, while compatible with β-cell development, leads to defective insulin-s

Peptides derived from apolipoprotein B (apoB)-100 have been previously used in vaccine preparations to treat atherosclerosis. Such vaccines have been shown to reduce atherosclerotic plaque development by 50 % in experimental animals, and this effect is associated with induction of T helper (Th)2 immune responses. In this study we immunised apolipoprotein E-deficient (apoE(-/-)) mice with apoB-100-

The purpose of this study was to examine how social workers, in the social services department of economical aid, are affected by the increasing number of clients. More specifically we focused on how the social workers job situation as a whole, how the feelings of their work and the ability to reach the goals of the organizations was affected by the changing circumstances. To examine this we used

Track switches are vital parts in the railway construction. They meet an important feature when planing and stearing the traffic flow through them to increase capacity. To ensure functionality during winter they have since the 50- century systematically installed switch heating with different technical solutions but with the same objective, to keep the moving parts on the switch free from snow and

Denna uppsats behandlar vissa ämnesområden avseende reglerna om miljöskadestånd i 32 kap MB utifrån såväl ett deskriptivt som normativt perspektiv. I uppsatsens görs initialt en introduktion till ämnet och de relevanta bestämmelserna i MB tillsammans med hithörande praxis. I sammanhanget fokuseras främst på den orts- och allmänvanlighetsbedömning som domstolarna har att göra vid bedömning av mil

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
