Antalet tidsbegränsat anställda på den svenska arbetsmarknaden har de senaste 20 åren ökat markant. Under samma period har bemanningsföretagen gjort sitt inträde på arbetsmarknaden. PostNord AB är ett företag som har genomgått förändringar när det gäller organisationsform och ägarförhållanden och har gjort nedskärningar och omställningar bland personalen till följd av minskad efterfrågan av tjänst

Author: Shkurta Durmishaj & Malin Svensson Titel: Jobb- och utvecklingsgarantin – a quarantee for what? Supervisor: Johan Cronehed Assesor: Lars Harrysson Abstract The purpose of this study was to illuminate participants of the Swedish labor market program (Sw. Jobb- och utvecklingsgarantin (JOB) experiences of and perspectives on the program. To strengthen the understanding of the study, we

Prisutvecklingen på skogsfastighetsmarknaden styrs av ett flertal olika faktorer. Den senaste tiden har köparnas incitament förändrats. Från att tidigare ha värderat god ekonomisk avkastning som viktigaste faktor vid förvärv har icke-monetära faktorer fått större inflytande. Avkastningsvärdering är den i särklass främst använda metoden vid värdering av skogsfastigheter då den ger en uppskattning aForest property prices depend on several factors such as rate, GDP and market demand. The prices are also affected by factors of individual properties. These are for instance size, timber volume and land consolidation. Yield valuation is the most common tool for valuation of forest properties. This method will often require an adjustment to adapt the prices according to the market. The discrepancy

Authors: Jonna Nordkvist och Linnéa Lohr Title: "We can not do more than what is in the paper" - A study in home care on staff nurses' views on mental health among the elderly. Supervisor: Karin Kullberg Examiner: Anna Rypi The aim of this study was to examine how home care, based on staff nurses perspectives satisfy the needs of older people in relation to what is described in the

There are currently several commercially available radiotherapy treatment units without a flattening filter in the beam line. Unflattened photon beams have an energy and lateral fluence distribution that is different from conventional beams and, thus, their attenuation properties differ. As a consequence, for flattening filter free (FFF) beams, the relationship between the beam-quality specifier T

Antisymmetric magneto-resistance anomalies generated by a reversal of the magnetization are studied in a number of GaMnAs/InGaAs layers with out-of-plane (easy axis) magnetization. The anomalies occur independent of the magnetic field orientation. This shows, that once a magnetic domain with reversed magnetization is nucleated, simply the presence of the domain wall between the longitudinal contac

Translating new findings in the laboratory into therapies for patients is a slow and expensive process. The development of therapies for neurodegenerative diseases is further complicated by the difficulty in determining whether the drug truly retards the slow degenerative process or provides only symptomatic benefit. In this issue, Aviles-Olmos et al. describe a first in Parkinson's disease (PD) p

Background: The involvement of aquaporin (AQP) water and small solute channels in the etiology of several diseases, including cancer, neuromyelitis optica and body fluid imbalance disorders, has been suggested previously. Furthermore, results obtained in a mouse model suggested that AQP9 function contributes to hyperglycemia in type-2 diabetes. In addition, the physiological role of several AQP fa

How the molecular programs of differentiated cells develop as cells transit from multipotency through lineage commitment remains unexplored. This reflects the inability to access cells undergoing commitment or located in the immediate vicinity of commitment boundaries. It remains unclear whether commitment constitutes a gradual process, or else represents a discrete transition. Analyses of in vitr

Background: Cohort studies of the relationship between air pollution exposure and chronic health effects require predictions of exposure over long periods of time. Objectives: We developed a unified modeling approach for predicting fine particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, and black carbon (as measured by light absorption coefficient) in six U.S. metropolitan regions from 1999

Introduction: There is a shortage of tools designed for use by occupational therapy practice in Arabic-speaking countries. The purpose of this study was to translate and cross-culturally adapt the original Satisfaction with Daily Occupations tool to Arabic and assess the psychometric properties of the adapted tool. Method: A cross-cultural adaptation process was performed. Face, content, and crite

New types of knowledge, and new ways of organising the production of it, may emerge as knowledge producers respond to the challenges posed by a changing society. This paper focuses on the core knowledge of one such emerging field, namely, innovation studies. To explore the knowledge base of the field, a database of references in scholarly surveys of various aspects of innovation, published in "han

A bioanode with high current density and coulombic efficiency was developed by co-immobilization of pyranose dehydrogenase from Agaricus meleagris (AmPDH) with the dehydrogenase domain of cellobiose dehydrogenase from Corynascus thermophiles (recDHCtCDH) expressed recombinantly in Escherichia coli. The two enzymes were entrapped in Os-complex modified electrodeposition polymers (Os-EDPs) with spec

Protein C inhibitor (PCI) is a serine protease inhibitor and was originally identified as an inhibitor of activated protein C (APC). However, PCI is not specific for APC and also inhibits several proteases involved in coagulation, fibrinolysis, cancer, wound healing, and fertility. The biological function of PCI is unknown due to broad enzyme specificity, its wide tissue distribution, and the lack

The Branched Chain Saturated Alcohol (BCSA) group of fragrance ingredients was evaluated for safety. In humans, no evidence of skin irritation was found at concentrations of 2-10%. Undiluted, 11 materials evaluated caused moderate to severe eye irritation. As current end product use levels are between 0.001% and 1.7%, eye irritation is not a concern. The materials have no or low sensitizing potent

Detailed analysis of data from studies of recombinant antihemophilic factor produced using a plasma/albumin-free method (rAHF-PFM) in previously treated patients showed a substantial level of interpatient variation in pharmacokinetics (PKs), factor VIII dosing, and annualized bleed rate (ABR), suggesting that individual patient characteristics contributed to outcome. For example, plasma half-life
