1. 1. FOXC2 and CAPN10 as candidate genes for obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes

   Författare :Emma A Nilsson; diabetes och endokrinologi Genomik; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biomedicinska vetenskaper; Biomedical sciences; Type 2 diabetes; Genetics; Obesity;

   Sammanfattning : The worldwide prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes is increasing rapidly. Both disorders depend on genetic and environmental factors. The studies included in this thesis investigated the possible association of the FOXC2 and CAPN10 genes with obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and related phenotypes. LÄS MER

3. 2. Sociala konstruktioner i förskolans planeringssamtal : I en landsgränsnära förskola

   Författare :Emma Nilsson; Carin Roos; Karin Bengtsson; Maria Simonsson; Karlstads universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Förskola; förskolepersonal; planeringssamtal; gräns; landsgräns; sociala konstruktioner; Pedagogiskt arbete; Educational Work;

   Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this study is to describe the preschool setting that is constructed in the preschool teacher’s planning conversations with a special focus on the border context in which this particular preschool is located. In what ways are the geographic location noticeable and what conceptions are established in their conversations? The study has a social constructivist approach and is informed by borderland theory which means that the focus is on the context and the participants in this context. LÄS MER

4. 3. Arkitekturens kroppslighet. Staden som terräng

   Författare :Emma Nilsson; Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Terrain; material culture; ubiquitous gaming; gameplay; relational architecture; play; traceur; parkour; Night Climbers of Cambridge; ANT; body materiality; body techniques; corporality;

   Sammanfattning : Beginning with the notion that spatial and material qualities of architecture set limits and create conditions for how we make use of it, the overall aim and ambition of this thesis is to develop this notion and to contribute to a deeper understanding of the relationships that are produced between the materiality of architecture and a bodily appropriation of it. To investigate this the thesis establishes two concepts: corporality and terrain. LÄS MER

5. 4. Genetic epidemiological studies of adverse pregnancy outcomes and the role of schizophrenia

   Författare :Emma Nilsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Adverse pregnancy outcomes; pre-eclampsia; gestational hypertension; fetal growth restriction; low birth weight; infant death; schizophrenia; genetic and environmental components; epidemiology; twins; families;

   Sammanfattning : The purposes of this thesis were to investigate the importance of genetic and environmental factors in the development of adverse pregnancy outcomes and to investigate the role of schizophrenia as a risk factor for and a consequence of adverse pregnancy outcomes. In the first study we investigated the importance of genetic and environmental factors for pre-eclampsia and gestational hypertension and whether the diseases share genetic etiology. LÄS MER

7. 5. Effects of cognitive tasks on car drivers’ behaviors and physiological responses

   Författare :Emma Nilsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cognitive load; traffic safety; autonomous drive; inattention; distraction; physiological measures; driver behavior; psychophysiology;

   Sammanfattning : The effects of drivers’ engagement in cognitive tasks (i.e., non-visual, cognitively loading activities unrelated to the task of driving) are debated and unclear. Numerous experiments show impaired driver behaviors, yet naturalistic studies typically do not find an increased crash risk. LÄS MER
