  1. 21. Enhancing prediction and causal inference in metabolic dyshomeostasis

    Författare :Naeimeh Atabaki Pasdar; Genetisk och molekylär epidemiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is focused on two globally prevalent diseases: i) non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and ii) type 2 diabetes (T2D), with an overall aim of improving prediction and causal inference in the context of these conditions. Our projects were mainly conducted using IMI DIRECT and UK Biobank datasets including multi-omics data, extensive environmental exposures, and biological intermediates. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Risk prediction models for cardiovascular disease and overall mortality

    Författare :Andrea Ganna; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Prediction or prognostication is at the core of modern evidence-based medicine. Prediction of overall mortality and cardiovascular disease can be improved by a systematic evaluation of measurements from large-scale epidemiological studies or by using nested sampling designs to discover new markers from omics technologies.

  4. 23. Risk assessment of natural hazards : Data availability and applicability for loss quantification

    Författare :Tonje Grahn; Lars Nyberg; Magnus Johansson; Henrik Jaldell; Giuliano di Baldassarre; Karlstads universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; flood; landslide; damage; damage function; cost-benefit; decision support; causal relationship; Risk- och Miljöstudier; Risk and Environmental Studies;

    Sammanfattning : Quantitative risk assessments are a fundamental part of economic analysis and natural hazard risk management models. It increases the objectivity and the transparency of risk assessments and guides policymakers in making efficient decisions when spending public resources on risk reduction. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Essay I: Same-gender teachers may affect educational preferences by acting as role models for their students. I study the importance of the gender composition of teachers in math and science during lower secondary school on the likelihood to continue in math-intensive tracks in the next levels of education.
