Uppsatsen behandlar det arbetsmiljörättsliga ansvaret i bemanningsförhållanden och hur detta fördelas mellan bemanningsföretag och kundföretag. Syftet är att analysera den rättsliga regleringen av ansvarsfördelningen samt att identifiera rättsliga och praktiska utmaningar som uppstår när arbetsmiljöansvaret delas mellan flera aktörer. De centrala frågeställningarna är hur ansvaret fördelas enligt This thesis examines the allocation of occupational health and safety responsibility in temporary agency work arrangements and how such responsibility is divided between the temporary work agency and the user undertaking. The purpose is to analyse the legal framework governing this allocation of responsibility and to identify legal and practical challenges arising when occupational health and safe

Rising populations are placing significant strain on traditional waste management, prompting the need for circular systems in urban projects to recycle valuable nutrients from wastewater. Introducing a biorefinery framework, microalgae cultivation on digestate effluents produces pigments for natural dyes, reducing nutrient release and offering eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic products. Succe

Obesity’s metabolic heterogeneity is not fully captured by body mass index (BMI). Here we show that deep multi-omics phenotyping of 1,408 individuals defines a metabolome-informed obesity metric (metBMI) that captures adipose tissue-related dysfunction across organ systems. In an external cohort (n = 466), metBMI explained 52% of BMI variance and more accurately reflected adiposity than other omic

Stress is a growing problem in society and has been for many years. Different ages and different occupations experience different amounts of stress in their day-to-day life. This quantitative study focused on surveying how social work students perceived stress affects their lives on a day-to-day basis. Another focus was to determine whether there are connections between the students' perceived

In this chapter, the occupational trajectories of a group of home-based seamstresses living in Gothenburg in 1912 is followed. Many studies dealing with gendered differences in labour market outcomes in the early twentieth century suggest that women’s choices most often followed a strategy based on the notion they would spend a short amount of time in their occupations and hence did not invest in

Current strategies to reduce the climate impact of production and consumption are insufficient to meet the pressing targets of the Paris Agreement. To expand visions of the possible ‘solution space’ in climate transitions, we explore a framework based on two dichotomies centred around the role of labour and the composition of economic output. From these dichotomies we sketch out four pathways for

We investigated dynamic changes in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) metabolism in the human occipital lobe using ultra-high field 31P functional magnetic resonance spectroscopy (fMRS) at 7 T. Twenty-five healthy volunteers (mean age 24 ± 4 years, 10 females) performed a visual task alternating between fixation and flashing checkerboard stimuli. 31P MRS spectra were acquired from a visual c

Rupture of unstable atherosclerotic plaques is a major cause of mortality. Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition associates with advanced atherosclerotic plaques and contributes to plaque progression. We examined the role of Twist1, a transcription factor that drives endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition, in plaque progression by inducible deletion from endothelial cells in hypercholesterolemic mi

Previous research has shown that gender-inclusive pronouns can facilitate mental representation of nonbinary individuals. However, considering that gender and pronoun use are politicized in many countries, such that individuals with a right-wing political orientation show more skepticism toward nonbinarity, these effects may be compromised. Across four studies (Ntotal = 2,847), we tested whether t

Förtätning av städer med en hög andel hårdgjorda ytor i kombination med klimatförändringarna gör urbana miljöer särskilt sårbara. Hållbar dagvattenhantering kan bidra till att öka klimatresiliensen i städerna, samtidigt som de genererar flera mervärden. Vilket gör de särskilt lämpliga i städerna där tillgången till mark är en begränsad resurs. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att tillvarata på inUrban densification with a high proportion of impervious surfaces, in combination with climate change, makes urban environments particularly vulnerable. Sustainable stormwater management can contribute to increasing climate resilience in cities, while also generating multiple added values. This makes such solutions particularly suitable in cities where access to land is a limited resource. The pur

Urban streets are an integral part of the public realm. Streets are commonly planned following normative design principles focused on the connectivity of road networks and urban morphology. Beyond their function as mobility infrastructure, streetscapes’ aesthetic, social, and cultural qualities also have an important impact on the experience of the overall urban environment and human well-being. T

Background: Isothiazolinones are widely used as preservatives in both cosmetic and non-cosmetic products. Sensitisation to isothiazolinones other than chloromethylisothiazolinone/methylisothiazolinone (CMIT/MIT), present in the baseline series, is increasing. Objectives: To investigate the prevalence of sensitisation to benzisothiazolinone (BIT) in comparison to CMIT/MIT and to develop a product-i

Objective. To describe factors associated with the development of stroke during long-term follow-up after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the LoWASA trial. Patients. Patients who had been hospitalized for AMI were randomized within 42 days to receive either warfarin 1.25 mg plus aspirin 75 mg daily or aspirin 75 mg alone. Design. The study was performed according to the probe design, that is

The aim of this paper is to compare general assumptions about newspaper reading with eye tracking data from readers authentic interaction with the newspaper. In the first step, we extract assumptions about newspaper reading from the (socio)semiotic literature. Second, we apply these assumptions in an analysis of a newspaper spread. The newspaper spread is analysed without any knowledge of the actu
