Popular Abstract in Swedish Typ 2 diabetes är en av världens vanligaste och snabbast ökande kroniska sjukdomar. Sjukdomen är smygande och ger ofta inledningsvis inte några särskilda symptom. Den kan därigenom förbli oupptäckt under många år. Typ 2 diabetes är dock en allvarlig sjukdom; överdödligheten i hjärt-kärlsjukdomar är fyra gånger högre hos patienter med typ 2 diabetes än hos dem som inte hTo examine cardiovascular risk factors, glycaemic control and survival in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) treated in primary care, patients with T2DM and a randomised age-stratified sample of men and women aged ≥40 years living in the same community were surveyed 1992-1994. ß–Cell function and insulin resistance were estimated using the Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA).

Popular Abstract in English The global energy consumption is increasing regularly due to the increased population and economic development. In contrast the primary energy sources, fossil fuels, are declining substantially. The combustion of fossil fuels contributes to the global climate change via greenhouse effects. To minimize these negative effects a carbon-neutral energy production is demandedThe electrochemical communication between microorganisms and electrodes has substantial implications both for basic understanding of biological electron transfer as well as in diverse applications, such as, microbial electrochemical system (MES), microbial biosensors and in production of valuable chemicals. In these systems the extracellular electron transfer (EET) from microbial metabolism to ele

Antioxidants are important molecules that are widely used by humans, both as dietary supplements and as additives to different types of products. In this chapter, we review how flavonoids, a class of polyphenolic antioxidants that are often found in glycosylated forms in many natural resources, can be extracted and modified using glycoside hydrolases (GHs). Glycosylation is a fundamental enzymatic

Popular Abstract in Swedish Relationen mellan högre utbildning och nyutbildade akademikers arbetsliv har diskuterats intensivt sedan början av 1990-talet. Å ena sidan förekommer ständiga klagomål om en påstådd diskrepans mellan den kompetens de nyutbildade besitter och den kompetens som potentiella arbetsgivare kräver. Å andra sidan har representanter för högre utbildning betonat universitetens obThe issue of higher education and its relation to the working life of graduates has been intensely discussed since the beginning of the 1990’s. There have been constant complaints about an alleged mismatch between graduate competence and competence required by potential employers, regardless of field. On the other hand, representatives of higher education have stressed the independent role of univ

Tetrapyrroles are synthesised through a single branched biosynthetic pathway. Heme and chlorophyll are synthesised from the common intermediate protoporphyrin IX at the heme-chlorophyll branch-point. Ferrochelatase catalyses the synthesis of heme by inserting Fe(II) into the protoporphyrin macro-cycle while magnesium chelatase, a three-subunit enzyme, catalyses the first unique step in chlorophyll

When a manipulator interacts with objects with poorly damped oscillatory modes, undesired oscillations and bouncing may result. In this paper, we present a method for observer-based control of a rigid manipulator interacting with an environment with linear dynamics.The controller injects a desired damping into the environment dynamics, using both visual-and force sensing for stable control of the

In this paper a new batch laboratory process is described. Theprocess is inexpensive, modular, and portable. Several processes canbe connected together to form a multi-purpose batch pilot plant.The use of the process in process control education is described.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Malmö erbjuder speciellt goda möjligheter till epidemiologiska studier, därför att all sjukhusbunden vård erbjuds av ett enda sjukhus som dessutom i stort sett endast täcker Malmös egna behov. Därtill kommer att nu avlidne professor Folke Linell redan under 1950-talet insåg den stora betydelsen för sjukvårdens kvalitet av en omfattande obduktionsverksamhet. Under periodIn the present thesis incidence, survival, mortality, cure and prognosis in invasive breast cancer in Malmö was studied over a 30 year period. Validated data from the Cancer Registry and the Cause of Death Registry were used. In the process of validation systematical biases were identified in both registers. The incidence increased over time and was strongly related to increases in diagnostic acti
