Fenomenet utstationering av arbetstagare på EU:s inre marknad regleras i såväl unionsrätten som i medlemsstaternas nationella arbetsrätt. Uppsatsen undersöker hur rättsutvecklingen sett ut på unionsnivå med avseende på regleringen utstationering av arbetstagare och hur denna rättsutveckling påverkat den svenska arbetsrätten. Utvecklingen har präglats av framtagandet av sekundärrättsliga instrumentThe posting of workers within the internal market of the EU is regulated in European Union law as well as the labour law of member states. The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the regulation of the posting of workers has evolved in European Union law and how this legal development has impacted Swedish labour law as it pertains to the posting of workers. This field of regulation has been im

Purpose: For primary health care (PHC), hypertension is the number one diagnosis for planned health care visits. The treatment of high blood pressure (BP) and its consequences constitutes a substantial economic burden. In spite of efficient antihypertensive medications, a low percentage of patients reach a well-controlled BP. The PERson-centredness in Hypertension management using Information Tech

□ Total hip arthroplasty (THA) registers are established in several countries to collect data aiming to improve the results after THA. Monitoring of adverse outcomes after THA has focused mainly on revision surgery, but patientreported outcomes have also been investigated. □ Several surgery-related factors influencing the survival of the THA have been thoroughly investigated and have changed clini

Screening 60-yr-old men for renal cancer using ultrasound may be cost effective, and further research into this topic is of value to society. The prevalence of renal cancer by age/sex and the stage shift associated with screening are key research priorities.

Background and Objective: Waste in clinical trials remains rife. We developed an economic model to predict the cost of trials based on input costs, duration, power, number of sites, recruitment eligibility and consenting rates. Methods: We parameterised the model for three proxy placebo-controlled surgical trials using data from a systematic review, a bespoke cost survey, and from the literature.

Sedan antiken har humanismen försökt definiera den mänskliga naturens väsen samtidigt som den placerar människan i universums centrum som ”alla tings mått”. I ett försök att omvärdera människans betydelse har det talats om ett slags transhumanistisk intersubjektivitet. Jag utgår från fysikern och feministen Karen Barads begrepp intraaktion (samspel mellan integrerade delar). Barad myntar begreppet

Energy conservation plays a vital role towards sustainable development of meat processing. Energy costs for many meat plants represent the fourth highest operational cost. In meat processing, moderate levels of both electrical and thermal energy are consumed in wide range of processes and applications. However, energy efficiency improvement in the meat processing industry have been a focus to incr

BackgroundThere is a continuous and dynamic discussion on artificial intelligence (AI) in present-day society. AI is expected to impact on healthcare processes and could contribute to a more sustainable use of resources allocated to healthcare in the future. The aim for this work was to establish a foundation for a Swedish perspective on the potential effect of AI on the medical physics profession

Background Surgical site infection (SSI) may lead to vertebral osteomyelitis, diskitis, paraspinal musculoskeletal infection, and abscess, and remains a significant concern in postoperative management of spinal surgery. SSI is associated with greater postoperative morbidity and increased health care payments. Methods We conducted a retrospective analysis using MarketScan to identify health care ut

Background: Being an informal carer of a person with dementia (PwD) can have a negative effect on the carer’s health and quality of life, and spouse carers have been found to be especially vulnerable. Yet relatively little is known about the care provided and support received by spouse carers. This study compares spouse carers to other informal carers of PwDs regarding their care provision, the su

There is relatively little research on women’s involvement with drugs in the Nordic area. While women’s experiences have enjoyed greater attention in the literature than previously (Chesney-Lind and Chagnon, 2016), many analyses appear to consider gender as a single variable in addition to class. Further, gender has become synonymous with women, ‘as if the other, the general’ were not also similar

Background: There is limited research on prevention of mental ill-health of school personnel and the systematic management of school work environments. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of implementing the guideline recommendations for the prevention of mental ill-health in schools, in particular, whether there was a difference in adherence to guideline recommendations between

We study the homogenization of the Dirichlet problem for the Stokes equations in R3 perforated by m spherical particles. We assume the positions and velocities of the particles to be identically and independently distributed random variables. In the critical regime, when the radii of the particles are of order m-1, the homogenization limit u is given as the solution to the Brinkman equations. We p
