11. Methodology for Assessing Learning from Incidents - a Process Industry Perspective
Sammanfattning : Learning from incidents (from minor disturbances to major accidents) is considered one of the most important ways in the process industry to learn from experiences for improving safety performance. Most companies have a formal incident learning system and considerable resources are used for reporting incidents and for utilising these experiences to prevent future incidents. LÄS MER
12. An impedance approach to passive-active vibration control
Sammanfattning : The complementary advantages of active and passive vibration control have motivated research concerning hybrid configurations. Previous studies have mainly focused on active constrained layers (ACL). However, investigations pointing towards suboptimal performance of ACL have made it interesting to investigate other solutions. LÄS MER
13. Molecular Epidemiology of Cardiovascular Disease
Sammanfattning : Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, with increasing prevalence worldwide.Identification of risk markers may enable improved prevention by targeting high-risk individuals, earlier disease diagnosis and treatment, as well as stratification of disease subtypes with different treatment options, thereby minimizing side effects while increasing success rates.

14. Novel risk markers in the chronic kidney disease patient : new insights into the wasting-inflammation axis
Sammanfattning : Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have a risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality that is 20 ]30 fold higher than that of a similar person without CKD. While traditional (i.e Framingham) risk factors certainly contribute, they cannot by themselves explain this exacerbated mortality burden. LÄS MER
15. Prostate Diseases and the Metabolic Syndrome
Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT The overall aim of this thesis was to explore the association between the components of the metabolic syndrome (MetS), including vitamin D, and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). The focus was on the relationship between diseases of the prostate, mainly benign prostatic enlargement (BPE) and prostate cancer (PC). LÄS MER
