The driving force behind the current global type 2 diabetes epidemic is insulin resistance in overweight and obese individuals. Dietary factors, physical inactivity, and sedentary behaviors are the major modifiable risk factors for obesity. Nevertheless, many overweight/obese people do not develop diabetes and lifestyle interventions focused on weight loss and diabetes prevention are often ineffec

Using a newly digitised historical dataset on clean water technologies in Swedish cities, this study tries to find the causal effect (and the magnitude of this effect) of the introduction of clean water technology on mortality in urban areas. Using urban mortality data on a county level, and clean water access data on city level, both OLS, fixed effects, and difference-in-differences models are tr

I denna bok presenteras sexton uppsatser som belyser centrala och aktuella affärsrättsliga frågor. Efter ett fylligt introduktionskapitel följer uppsatser som bl.a. behandlar frågor kring handel och uthyrning över internet, delningsplattformar, avtalsfrihet, entreprenad, ansvarsbegränsningar, konsumenttjänster, marknadsföring, kommersiella truster, övergång av verksamheter, processuella överenskom

Within the framework of the EU-financed project MASTER field trials with in-car speed limiter were carried out in three “region-typical” countries: Sweden, the Netherlands, and Spain. The speed limiter is an active gas pedal which provides a gas pedal counter-force whenever the driver tries to depress the pedal beyond a pre-set speed limit. Twenty subjects per country drove two times along the tes

This is a report on the evaluation of the Swedish participation in the Halden Reactor Project 2006-2014. The study has consisted in evaluating the types and extent of added value from the Swedish participation in the Halden Reactor Project, and to determine what additional added value the participation could supply for the Swedish authority.It can be concluded from the study that the impacts from

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia. AF treatment involves management of precipitating factors, rate- and rhythm control and anticoagulation for prevention of stroke and systemic thromboembolism. The aims of this thesis were to describe clinical practice in prescription of anticoagulation therapy and trends in ischemic stroke incidence among AF patients, to rep

Normalisation of measured energy use in buildings is important in order to verify their performance in user phase. Two methods for normalisation have been presented in Sweden, static and dynamic normalisation. The static normalisation considers deviating hot water use, indoor temperature, internal loads and external climate. The dynamic normalisation is based on repeated simulation, meaning that t

This thesis examines the energy-saving potential for lighting when using traditional indoor LCSs in non-residential buildings. In the study, an overarching theoretical framework is used that distinguishes between energy efficiency and energy saving, as well as between energy use for lighting and functional illumination. This framework also includes the hypothesis that user acceptance is a determin
