Den här uppsatsen har syftat till att undersöka flexicurity och dess underkategori kallad employment security och hur dess utbredning har påverkat arbetsmarknaderna i Sverige och Italien, och genom en komparation av dessa båda kombinerat med en ordentlig utredning kring flexicuritybegreppet försökt ge en bild av huruvida den är en strategi för framtiden för EU som helhet. Båda länderna har i ett h
Because societies, companies and people are different, there are different views on corporations' roles and responsibilities. The purpose of this study is to understand what, why and how some business organizations benefit and create business cases from corporate responsibilities and sustainability. It investigates which aspects motivates three companies, IKEA, Skanska and Trelleborg AB, using
This qualitative study explored how some working Austrians experienced and coped with changes in their daily occupations after becoming informal carers of persons who had had a stroke. The study provides insights into the working carers' occupational experiences and strategies during a period of pronounced life changes.
A study of specific interactions between lectins and glycoproteins has been carried out using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) in a flow-injection mode. Lectins were covalently immobilised on the surfaces of the microfluidic sensor chip via amine coupling and serum glycoproteins were injected into the flow channels. Specific lectin-glycoprotein interactions caused the shift of refractive index prop
In 1995, Best et al. published a formula for the exact bit error probability for Viterbi decoding of the rate R=1/2, memory m=1 (2-state) convolutional encoder with generator matrix G(D)=(1 1+D) when used to communicate over the binary symmetric channel. Their formula was later extended to the rate R=1/2, memory m=2 (4-state) convolutional encoder with generator matrix G(D)=(1+D^2 1+D+D^2) by Lent
Popular Abstract in Swedish Stroke är ett akut neurologiskt tillstånd och den främsta anledningen till funktionsnedsättning hos vuxna. Det finns ingen behandling för effektiv återhämtning. Den vanligaste formen av stroke orsakas av att mellersta storhjärnsartären blockeras vilket gör att man förlorar hjärnceller, till exempel neuroner. Neurala stamceller (NSCs) skulle kunna användas för att återstStroke is an acute neurological condition and the leading cause of disability in adult humans. Treatments for efficient recovery are not available. The most common form of stroke results from the occlusion of the middle cerebral artery, which causes loss of brain parenchyma and many types of neurons as well as astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. Neural stem cells (NSCs) could potentially be used to d
To describe the experience of planning and designing a new facility for infectious diseases in Sweden and to discuss underlying theories relating to infection prevention and evidence-based design.
Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry-based metabolomics was applied to investigate dynamic changes in the plasma metabolome upon an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). The OGTT is a frequently used diagnostic test of glucose homeostasis and diabetes. Diabetes is diagnosed either when glucose levels a parts per thousand yen7.0 mM in the fasting state or a parts per thousand yen11.0 mM at 2 h after
Identifying patients at risk of future severe asthma exacerbations, those whose asthma might be less treatment responsive, or both might guide treatment selection.
This paper describes the use of supervised methods for the classification of vegetation. The difference between supervised classification and clustering is outlined, with reference to their current use in vegetation science. In the paper we describe the classification of Danish grasslands according to the Habitats Directive of the European Union, and demonstrate how a supervised classification can
This work proposes methodologies using a model-based approach to gain knowledge on and assist the development of an ion-exchange step in a protein purification process; the separation of IgG from a mixture containing IgG, insulin and transferrin. This approach is suitable for capture and intermediate steps in a process. Both methods involve four consecutive steps. Firstly, the retention of the dif
Monitoring constitutes a cornerstone, both for efficient control of optimized industrial processes and for obtaining knowledge about non-controlled, natural phenomena. This thesis is all about monitoring, or measurements. In this case the primary information is gathered with light, and in a non-intrusive, and usually a stand-off or remote way. The applications of optical monitoring in this work
As home care increases and care is moving from nursing homes and hospitals into people’s homes, there are problem areas that need to be addressed and solved in a better way than today. Nurses and other home care workers are exposed to serval risks when the patients’ home environment becomes their workplace. There are also serval risks for the patients when their homes are transferred into “small h
This paper shares the experiences of 5 universities involved in a benchmarking exercise on e-learning in 2009 through ESMU. A total of 9 European universities participated in the exercise with the purpose of evaluating their existing e-learning practices and policies and getting advice on which areas to improve and how. Initially, the paper discusses the benchmarking concept and reasons why insti
Popular Abstract in Swedish p-tert-Butylfenol-formaldehydharts (PTBP-F-R) är ett bindemedel som används i vissa limmer och målarfärger. Det har använts sedan 1950-talet och redan från denna tid finns rapporter om allergier. PTBP-F-R ingår i den internationella standardserien av kontaktallergen. Råvaror för framställning av hartset är p-tert-butylfenol och formaldehyd. Det färdiga hartset består avp-tert-Butylphenol-formaldehyde resin (PTBP-F-R) is used as a binder in many adhesive formulations and it consists of a complex mixture of substances, most of which are unknown. The resin has been reported to cause allergic contact dermatitis since the 1950s. The aim of the study was to investigate allergens in p-tert-butylphenol-formaldehyde resin (PTBP-F-R) and to isolate and identify sensitizer
