  2. 1. Prosthetic Joint Infection of the Hip : Cause and Effect

    Author : Peter Wildeman; Bo Söderquist; Per Wretenberg; Viktor Lindgren; Nils Hailer; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Prosthetic joint infection; infection; arthroplasty; hip; Staphylococcus aureus; Cutibacterium avidum; hip; outcome; PROM;

    Abstract : Every year, 18 000 patients in Sweden and more than 1 million worldwide undergo total hip arthroplasty (THA). The operation is of great benefit to patients, but is associated with several complications. READ MORE

  4. 2. Sleep disordered breathing at work : Cause and effects

    Author : Jan Ulfberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; Snoring; sleepiness; sleep apnea; epidemiology; organic solvents; work performance; occupational accidents; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; arbets- och miljömedicin; Occupational and Environmental Medicine;

    Abstract : The recent discovery of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) as a prevalent disorder has highlightedthe fact that snoring is not just a harmless noise. Snoring and OSAS in the work milieu has hardly beeninvestigated, which makes it important to identify both risk factors and consequences in the work place. READ MORE

  5. 3. Phosphorylation in State Transition : Less cause more effect

    Author : Jakob Damkjaer; Jansson Stefan; Eva-Mari Aro; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Photosynthesis; Photoacclimation; State Transtion; LHCII Phosphorylation; Lhcb3; Lhcb6; Plant physiology; Växtfysiologi; molekylärbiologi; Molecular Biology;

    Abstract : Study of the Arabidopsis thaliana knockout mutant lacking Lhcb3 (koLhcb3) have revealed a close similarity to the wild type plants. Growth rate, NPQ, qP, Φ(PSII), circular dichroism spectra, pigment composition and content of LCHII trimers have been found to be unaffected by this mutation. READ MORE

  6. 4. Models for Additive and Sufficient Cause Interaction

    Author : Daniel Berglund; Timo Koski; Helga Westerlind; Ola Hössjer; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Causal Inference; Sufficient Cause; Potential Outcomes; Counterfactual; Additive Interaction; Interaction; MFPO; ICI; Logistic Regression; Linear Odds; Public Health; Interventions; Probabilistic Potential Outcome; Matematisk statistik; Mathematical Statistics;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to develop and explore models in, and related to, the sufficient cause framework, and additive interaction. Additive interaction is closely connected with public health interventions and can be used to make inferences about the sufficient causes in order to find the mechanisms behind an outcome, for instance a disease.

  7. 5. Cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality : influence of fitness, fatness and genetic factors

    Author : Gabriel Högström; Anna Nordström; Peter Nordström; Johan Sundström; Umeå universitet; []
