Popular Abstract in Swedish Under livets gång utsätts vi för en mängd exponeringar som påverkar vår hälsa. I denna avhandling har vi försökt förstå hur olika exponeringar påverkar risken för celiaki (glutenintolerans) hos barn. Vi har utnyttjat information i nationella register och använt epidemiologiska metoder. Med ett socialepidemiologiskt tankesätt lyfter vi blicken från individen till att äveCeliac disease is a chronic gastrointestinal disease affecting approximately 1% of the population. It is precipitated in genetically predisposed individuals by ingestion of food containing gluten or similar proteins that are present in wheat, rye and barley. The disease might present with symtoms such as malnutrition, diarrhea or abdominal bloating, but a large proportion of those afflicted by the

The aims of this work were to evaluate objective and subjective signs of autonomic dysfunction (AD) in patients with primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) and to evaluate its clinical associations. In study I, 46 pSS patients and 56/80/238 autonomic nervous function test (ANT) controls participated. Objective signs of AD were evaluated using three different cardiovascular ANTs and exocrine function in

This article addresses the understanding of Islam of nine young adult Muslims living in the Malmo and Copenhagen region. 1 Throughout the interviews with the young adults, they mark their distance from what they perceive as unacceptable forms of Islamic ideas and practices, labeling these ideas as extremist and inconsistent. They develop discursive techniques of distancing themselves from the medi

For the first time, we report experimentally and theoretically that nitroaromatic compounds, 2,4-dinitrobenzenethiol and 4-chloro-2-nitrobenzenethiol, on silver sols can be selectively reduced to 2-amino-4-nitrobenzenethiol and 2-amino-4-chlorobenzenethiol simply by irradiating with a visible light in ambient conditions, and the selective photoreduction is a very facile process. The results of qua

There is still controversy as to how body mass index (BMI) affects male reproduction. We investigated how BMI is associated with semen quality and reproductive hormones in 166 men, including 38 severely obese men. Standard semen analysis and sperm DNA integrity analysis were performed, and blood samples were analysed for reproductive hormones. Adjusted for age and time of abstinence, BMI was negat

Popular Abstract in SwedishI avhandlingen undersöks adoptionsberättelser i en svensk kontext. Syftet är tvåfaldigt: För det första, hur adoption beskrivs av vuxna adopterade, för det andra, hur adoption konstrueras i dagspress. Adopterades sätt att skapa mening kring att ”vara adopterad” är i fokus, så är även dessa personliga berättelsers samspel med kulturellt gångbara diskurser på adoptionsområThis dissertation explores adoption stories in a Swedish context. The aim is two-fold: First, how adoption is presented by adopted adults; second, how adoption is constructed in the press. The way adoptees create meaning of “being adopted” is investigated; the way those stories are shaped culturally is also explored. The study was conducted in a qualitative tradition with a constructionist and nar

Near-haploid chromosome numbers have been found in less than 1% of cytogenetically reported tumors, but seem to be more common in certain neoplasms including the malignant cartilage-producing tumor chondrosarcoma. By a literature survey of published karyotypes from chondrosarcomas we could confirm that loss of chromosomes resulting in hyperhaploid-hypodiploid cells is common and that these cells m

Objective To investigate the genetic control of chronic arthritis and collagen epitope specific antibody responses in an experimental model for rheumatoid arthritis. Methods The chronic collagen induced arthritis (CCIA) model was used, induced with collagen type II (CII) in mineral oil lacking mycobacterium in BALB/c (n=24), B10.Q (n=44), (BALB/c x B10.Q) F1 (n=85) and B10.Q x (BALB/c x B10.Q) N2

The results of a search for the production of second generation scalar leptoquarks are presented for final states consisting of either two muons and at least two jets or a muon plus missing transverse momentum and at least two jets. A total of 1.03 fb(-1) integrated luminosity of proton-proton collision data produced by the Large Hadron Collider at root s = 7 TeV and recorded by the ATLAS detector

Changes in the Swedish construction code introduced in 1994 enabled the construction of wooden multi-storey buildings. The main issue in those is disturbing vibrations and noise propagating throughout the construction. Therefore, gaining knowledge about their behavior is of crucial importance for the industry. In this study, a mockup of a wall/floor junction was investigated by comparing both expe

The objective of this report is to provide an implementation guide to understanding the Energy Efficiency in Buildings (EEB) model as applied to the Swedish Residential sector. The report depicts the work that prepares the ground to use and test the model to evaluate energy efficiency policy instruments targeting the Swedish residential sector during the next phase of the project. It is argued wil

Multi-site multi-antenna measurements for semiurban microcell environment at 2.6 GHz are performed with four base stations (BSs) and one mobile station (MS). Three BSs are provided with four antenna elements in closely spaced copolarized configuration, and one BS is provided with a single antenna element. The MS is equipped with a cylindrical uniform array consisting of 64 dual-polarized antenna e
