PCR is widely employed as a rapid, sensitive and specific molecular diagnostic technique in clinical diagnosis, environmental investigations and for monitoring biotechnical processes. However, the full potential of diagnostic PCR is limited, in part, by the presence of PCR-inhibitory substances in biological samples. Among the mechanisms by which these inhibitors may act are through interfering wi
Flera studier har visat att efterfrågan på äldrevård kommer att öka i takt med att Sveriges befolkning blir allt äldre. Samtidigt pekar prognoser mot ett minskat antal framtida skattebetalare. Vilka finansiella svårigheter detta ger kommunerna beror på den ekonomiska utvecklingen, men även på hälsoutvecklingen bland framtidens äldre, sjukvårdens utveckling, vilka krav de äldre kommer att ställa på
Safety culture may be seen as the oil necessary for an efficient safety management system. During the work in HILAS SMS task force some weaknesses in the use of safety culture in practice were identified. A work stream was initiated to identify further weaknesses and suggest remedies for them. The objective of this paper is to discuss some of the weaknesses and propose mitigations. A major suggest
Under 2006 publicerades av CKS (Centrum för kommunstrategiska studier, Norrköping) i samarbete med Arbetslivsinstitutet, Linköpings universitet (Campus Norrköping) och Metalls avdelning 97 i Finspång boken "Finspång - en bit av folkhemmet. Sju uppsatser om ett industrisamhälle under 1900-talet". Ett av kapitlen är "Framväxten av koncernfackligt samarbete inom metallindustrin" (sid 177-239) av AndeThe chapter "Framväxten av koncernfackligt samarbete inom metallindustrin" (pp. 177-239) by Anders Kjellberg analyzes the rise and development of trade union cooperation within groups in Swedish metal industry. Special attention is paid to the two large metal enterprises in Finspång, situated in the northern part of the province of Östergötland: (1) the turbine company (for a long period of time
The Swedish Pompeii Project started in 2000 as a research and fieldwork activity initiated by the Swedish Institute in Rome. The aim was to record and analyze an entire Pompeian city-block, Insula V 1. Since autumn 2011 a new branch of advanced digital archaeology, involving 3D reconstructions and documentation methods, was added to the project agenda. The insula was completely digitized using las
In this paper, we propose to perform remote laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and Raman imaging of historical monuments to assess the state of a building. The lidar system is equipped with a Nd:YAG pumped optical parametrical oscillator (OPO) system, allowing laser radiation in the wavelength range 220 nm-4 μm. The laser radiation can be sent through a roof-top dome which can steer the r
We have determined detailed elemental abundances and stellar ages for a sample of now 38 microlensed dwarf and subgiant stars in the Galactic bulge. Stars with sub-solar metallicities are all old and have enhanced alpha-element abundances - very similar to what is seen for local thick disk stars. The metal-rich stars on the other hand show a wide variety of stellar ages, ranging from 3-4 Gyr to 12
