2. 1. Insulin Resistance and Inflammation as Risk Factors for Congestive Heart Failure

   Author : Erik Ingelsson; Lars Lind; Johan Ärnlöv; Johan Sundström; Jan Östergren; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Geriatric nursing; congestive heart failure; insulin resistance; inflammation; obesity; blood sedimentation; apolipoproteins; antioxidants; beta carotene; oxidative stress; registries; epidemiology; risk factors; Äldrevård; Older people and ageing; Äldre och åldrande;

   Abstract : Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality and the identification of modifiable risk factors is crucial in order to diminish suffering of this common disease. The primary aim of this thesis was to investigate novel metabolic risk factors for CHF, with a focus on insulin resistance and inflammation. READ MORE

4. 2. Adaptive body regulation in the life history of birds

   Author : Johan Lind; Theunis Piersma; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Ethology and behavioural ecology; Etologi och beteendeekologi; etologi; Ethology;

   Abstract : Birds have been flying on this Earth for around 150 million years and in response to fluctuating environments birds have evolved flexible body regulation. This thesis has investigated costs and adaptations in bird body regulation in different life history stages, namely moult and migration. READ MORE

5. 3. Dynamic soil-structure interaction of simply supported high-speed railway bridges

   Author : Johan Lind Östlund; Jean-Marc Battini; Andreas Andersson; Mahir Ülker-Kaustell; Rui Calçada; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Dynamic soil-structure interaction; Railway bridge; Impedance function; Soil dynamics; High-speed train; Structural Engineering and Bridges; Bro- och stålbyggnad;

   Abstract : Research performed on the subject of dynamic soil-structure interaction (SS) concerning railway bridges is presented in this thesis with the focus on simply supported railway bridges supported by shallow foundations in soil strata on bedrock. The research aims to obtain insight into the SSI of high-speed railway bridges and to provide recommendations on how to model the soil-bridge system from a design perspective. READ MORE

6. 4. Computational Studies of Protein Synthesis on the Ribosome and Ligand Binding to Riboswitches

   Author : Christoffer Lind; Johan Åqvist; Alexander MacKerell Jr; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Binding free energy; Ribosome; Codon reading; Translation initiation; Translation termination; Mitochondrial translation; Release factor; Purine riboswitch; Molecular Dynamics; Free Energy Perturbation; Biology with specialization in Molecular Biotechnology; Biologi med inriktning mot molekylär bioteknik;

   Abstract : The ribosome is a macromolecular machine that produces proteins in all kingdoms of life. The proteins, in turn, control the biochemical processes within the cell. It is thus of extreme importance that the machine that makes the proteins works with high precision. READ MORE

7. 5. Implementation of knowledge-based palliative care in acute care settings : obstacles, opportunities and experiences

   Author : Susanne Lind; Lars Wallin; Jonas Sandberg; Carl Johan Fürst; Tomas Brytting; Anna Milberg; Karolinska institutet; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acute care hospital;

   Abstract : Background and aim: Quality improvement is continuously ongoing at different levels in our healthcare system. In Sweden, as in other countries, guidelines are important for quality improvement in healthcare, since they summarize the best available evidence. READ MORE
