  1. 16. Measurement of sensitivity to DNA damaging agents

    Författare :Sherin T Mathew; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; intrinsic sensitivity; DNA damage; ionizing radiation; cell division;

    Sammanfattning : There is a large inter-individual variation in intrinsic sensitivity in patients receiving treatment with DNA damaging agents. Cancer therapy exemplifies this problem where patients experience varying degree of normal tissue side effects in response to radiation or chemotherapy. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Body Composition in Adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes : Aspects of Glycaemic Control and Insulin Sensitivity

    Författare :Stefan Särnblad; Jan Åman; Torsten Tuvemo; Jan Bolinder; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pediatrics; Type 1 diabetes mellitus; Adolescent; Body composition; Physical activity; Energy intake; Metformin; Insulin sensitivity; Pediatrik; Paediatric medicine; Pediatrisk medicin;

    Sammanfattning : Excessive weight gain has frequently been reported in adolescents with type 1 diabetes, especially in girls. In general, puberty is associated with reduced insulin sensitivity that is further diminished by overweight. The causes and consequences of excessive weight gain in adolescents with type 1 diabetes are not fully understood. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Extensions in Flux : An Essay on Vagueness and Context Sensitivity

    Författare :Jonas Åkerman; Peter Pagin; Diana Raffman; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; vagueness; context sensitivity; contextualism; weak tolerance; sorites paradox; forced march; equivocation; indexicals; Fara; Raffman; Shapiro; Soames; Theoretical philosophy; Teoretisk filosofi; Theoretical Philosophy; teoretisk filosofi;

    Sammanfattning : The extensions of vague predicates like ‘is bald’, ‘is tall’, and ‘is a heap’ apparently lack sharp boundaries, and this makes such predicates susceptible to soritical reasoning, i.e. reasoning that leads to some version of the notorious sorites paradox. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Uncertainty intervals and sensitivity analysis for missing data

    Författare :Minna Genbäck; Xavier de Luna; Elena Stanghellini; Arvid Sjölander; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; missing data; missing not at random; non-ignorable; set identification; uncertainty intervals; sensitivity analysis; self reported health; average causal effect; average causal effect on the treated; mixed-effects models; Statistics; statistik;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis we develop methods for dealing with missing data in a univariate response variable when estimating regression parameters. Missing outcome data is a problem in a number of applications, one of which is follow-up studies. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Price sensitivity and regional variation in health care

    Författare :Naimi Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; health care utilization; health insurance; regional variation; price sensitivity;

    Sammanfattning : Understanding the consequences of current health policy is important in order to design and develop a health care system suitable for future challenges. The purpose of this thesis is to bring evidence on the determinants of regional variation in health care and on individuals’ responsiveness to patient out-of-pocket prices in Sweden. LÄS MER
