  2. 1. Free to Move Along : On the Urbanisation of Cross-border Mobility Controls - A Case of Roma 'EU migrants' in Malmö, Sweden

    Abstract : Den här avhandlingen – som jag valt att ge den svenska titeln Fri att röra sig, förvisad att röra sig: Rörlighetskontrollens urbanisering – Fallet med romska EU-medborgare i Malmö – behandlar den lokala politik som utvecklades i Malmö under åren 2014–2016 i förhållande till närvaron av så kallade utsatta EU-medborgare, och utvecklar ett teoretiskt resonemang om hur exkluderande gränser tar plats och blir till i städer. ”Utsatta EU-medborgare” är ett begrepp som används av svenska myndigheter för att beteckna medborgare från andra EU länder som vistas i Sverige utan en fast uppehållsrätt och som befinner sig i situationer präglade av extrem fattigdom och marginalisering.

  4. 2. Heart failure : biomarker effect and influence on quality of life

    Author : Patric Karlström; Urban Alehagen; Mikael Dellborg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Heart failure; Biomarker; B-type natriuretic peptide; Heart failure treatment; B-type Natriuretic Peptide guided heart failure treatment; Responders; Health-related quality of life; Heart failure duration; Outcomes;

    Abstract : Background and aims: Heart failure (HF) is a life threatening condition and optimal handling is necessary to reduce risk of therapy failure. The aims of this thesis were: (Paper I) to examine whether BNP (B-type natriuretic peptide)-guided HF treatment improves morbidity and mortality when compared with HF therapy implemented by a treating physician at sites experienced in managing patients with HF according to guidelines; (Paper II) to investigate how to define a responder regarding optimal cut-off level of BNP to predict death, need for hospitalisation, and worsening HF and to determine the optimal time to apply the chosen cut-off value; (Paper III) to evaluate how Health-Related Quality of Life (HR-QoL) is influenced by natriuretic peptide guiding and to study how HR-QoL is affected in responders compared to non-responders; (Paper IV) to evaluate the impact of patient age on clinical outcomes, and to evaluate the impact of duration of the HF disease on outcomes and the impact of age and HF duration on BNP concentration.

  5. 3. Islet amyloid polypeptide in the control of food intake : an experimental study in the rat

    Author : Urban Arnelo; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : body weight; glucose metabolism; IAPP; meal patterns; monoamines; neuropeptides; radioimmunoassay; rats; satiety;

    Abstract : Control of food intake and satiety are physiologically complex processes, that only partly are understood. Several hormonal peptides have been proposed to mediate satiety. Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) is a recently discovered 37 amino acid peptide, mainly produced by the pancreatic ß-cells. READ MORE

  6. 4. Mortality in schizophrenia and affective disorder

    Keywords : Schizophrenia; Bipolar disorder; Unipolar disorder; Schizophrenia Incidence; Standardized Mortality Ratio; Schizophrenia Mortality; Bipolar disorder Mortality; Unipolar disorder Mortality; Schizophrenia Suicide; Bipolar disorder Suicide; Unipolar disorder Suicide. Medical Record Linkage; Patient admission; Epidemiology; Registries;

    Abstract : Patients with psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and unipolar disorder have a considerably increased mortality compared to the population. To reduce this increased mortality is a major task for clinical psychiatry, and the aim of this study is to improve the knowledge about the increased mortality in order to reduce its effects for the patients.

  7. 5. Reading the Sky : From Starspots to Spotting Stars

    Author : Urban Eriksson; Cedric Linder; John Airey; Andreas Redfors; Edward E. Prather; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Astrometry; Astronomy Education Research; Disciplinary Discernment; Extrapolating three-dimensionality; Reading the Sky; Physics with specialization in Physics Education; Fysik med inriktning mot fysikens didaktik;

    Abstract : This thesis encompasses two research fields in astronomy: astrometry and astronomy education and they are discussed in two parts. These parts represent two sides of a coin; astrometry, which is about constructing 3D representations of the Universe, and AER, where for this thesis, the goal is to investigate university students’ and lecturers’ disciplinary discernment vis-à-vis the structure of the Universe and extrapolating three-dimensionality.
