Sweden experienced a dramatic shakeout of the older workforce in the first half of the 1990s as part of the economic crisis 1991-94. The labour force participation rates and, even more pronounced the employment rates for the older workforce sank dramatically. However, when the Swedish economy recovered in the latter half of the 1990s the employment rates for the older workers, both for men and wom
Background: Several studies have found correlations between diabetes and an increased prevalence of periodontitis. Objective: To analyse, in a group of subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D), (i) the association between medical characteristics and severe periodontal disease and (ii) dental care habits and knowledge of oral health. Methods: One hundred and ninety-one subjects with T2D were examined. B
Atherosclerosis develops as a result of a chronic arterial inflammation and intimal Fibrosis. The disease represents in many respects a vascular repair process activated in response to injury caused by toxic breakdown products of aggregated and oxidized lipoproteins. The initial response of the artery involves expression of adhesion molecules and recruitment of leukocytes. Degenerated lipoproteins
Background and aim Scandinavian Quality Register for Thyroid and Parathyroid Surgery is an on-line web-based database with the aim to improve the quality of thyroid and parathyroid surgery. Preliminary data from surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism are reported here. Materials and methods Fifteen departments registered 806 operations, with 639 women (79.7%) and 167 men. The median age of the pa
We outline and test a decision-making theory of new venture growth and survival. Building upon research in entrepreneurship and decision making under risk, we hypothesize that entrepreneurs’ attention to survival and aspiration reference points changes based on venture age (experience-based learning), size (differences in decision complexity), and performance decision domain.

This study investigated psychometric properties of an instrument for assessing perceived occupational value, the 26-item OVal-pd. Data from 225 Swedish subjects with and without known mental illness were analysed regarding fit to the Rasch measurement model (partial credit model), differential item functioning (DIF), and functioning of the OVal-pd four-category response scale. The reliability (ind
To investigate visual outcome, bacteriology, and time to diagnosis in groups identified as being at risk for endophthalmitis following cataract surgery.
Optical DNA mapping offers an alternative or complementary method of sequencing and identification to the widely used next generation sequencing techniques. However, the rich selection of computational tools found for standard nucleotide sequencing are not as mature for DNA optical maps. This thesis focuses on two tools for the analysis of densely labeled optical maps. Firstly, parameters for an e
In this thesis, two methods were developed for a web-based GIS to make the spatial perspective of flood disaster risk reduction and response accessible. Flood disaster can cause major disruption to the street network, which further affects the emergency services and evacuation work in finding the safest and fastest routes. Thus, a method for dynamic street network analysis was developed and implem
Antennas are fundamental components in the evolution of wireless communication systems, including current 5G networks and emerging 6G technologies. This thesis presents the design, simulation, and experimental validation of two antennas specifically developed for integration into repeater-assisted MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) systems. These systems aim to enhance spatial multiplexing and
This thesis explores the migration experiences of privileged American women who have relocated to Spain, not as economic refugees or global elites, but as people navigating complex landscapes of physical, emotional, and existential insecurity. Drawing on feminist ethnography, emotional geographies, and theories of postnational belonging, the project analyzes how gender, autonomy, care, and politic
When a stroke patient visits a physiotherapist for rehabilitation, various tests are often conducted. The results from these tests need to be stored somewhere, and currently, there is no efficient method for doing so. The best available option is an Excel spreadsheet that calculates the results, followed by the physiotherapist having to save the data in another way. This process is time-consuming,
Suitable conditions for separating cells using a chromatographic procedure were evaluated in parallel chromatography on minicolumns. A 96-hole minicolumn plate filled with cryogel monoliths (18.8 mm x 7.1 mm O) with immobilized concanavalin A was used. Chromatographic columns (113 mm x 7.1 mm O) were used for chromatographic resolution of a mixture of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Escherichia coli
Introduction: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) concentration limits in drinking water have been decreased or are going to be decrease worldwide. Drinking water is the single largest input to our bodies, with 2-2.5 L/day for adults. However, current water treatment techniques are inefficient to remove PFAS from drinking water. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop sustainable inno
För att nå långsiktig framgång måste företag röra sig snabbare och anpassa sig bättre till omgivningen än sina konkurrenter. Ett sätt att göra detta är att ta del av innovati-va teknologier för att skapa konkurrensfördelar. Nowaste Logistics som är en tredje-partsleverantör inom frukt och grönsaksmarknaden, beslutade år 2008 att införa RFID-teknologi för att öka spårbarheten på sina varor och på s
In this paper, we develop an uncertainty-aware decision-making and motion-planning method for an autonomous ego vehicle in forced merging scenarios, considering the motion uncertainty of surrounding vehicles. The method dynamically captures the uncertainty of surrounding vehicles by online estimation of their acceleration bounds, enabling a reactive but rapid understanding of the uncertainty chara

Multi and many core platforms are increasingly employed today to cope with the demands of modern multimedia, networking and other similar streaming applications. Selecting the best architecture for a set of such applications is complex, and without coding for each specific system, the choice is made based on designer experience. In this paper we use CAL, a dataflow language for specifying streamin
