Industrial relations in Sweden are part of the Nordic legal tradition. This is characterised by labour law which is largely semi-discretionary law and collective agreements are the most important instrument for regulation of the labour market; these agreements offer a high degree of coverage. Trade unions are well organised and play a central role in the labour law system. During the past 25 years
Objective To evaluate the implementation of automated chest compression cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ACC-CPR) after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in Sweden during the years 2011 through 2015. The association between ACC-CPR and 30-day survival was studied as a secondary objective. Methods The Swedish cardiopulmonary resuscitation registry is a prospectively recorded nationwide registry o
Rapport från ett seminarium sept. 2014 i Manama i Zimbabwe, om diakonens identitet i Lutherska kyrkan i Zimbabwe och i Sverige, två år efter den första vigningen (ordinationen) av diakoner i Evangelical Lutheran Church in Zombabwe.Report from a seminar i Manama in Zimbabwe September 2014: "The Identity of the Deacon in Zimbabwe and Sweden", two years after the first ordination of deacons in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Zimbabwe (ELCZ).
This paper demonstrates a new acoustofluidic approach to enrich extremely dilute cell suspensions 1000 times and higher, at flow rates of ≥0.5 mL/min and higher, addressing some of the needs in rare cell processing and water quality monitoring.
Self-adaptation provides a principled way to deal with change during operation. As more systems with strict goals require self-adaptation, the need for guarantees in self-adaptive systems is becoming a high-priority concern. Designing adaptive software using principles from control theory has been identified as one of the approaches to provide guarantees. However, current solutions can only handle
We present a significantly improved acoustophoresis method to separate bacteria from red and white blood cells. As much as 98% of the bacteria were recovered, while only 0.06 % of the red and white blood cells remained. This 1600-fold relative enrichment was achieved by adjusting the center medium density, tightly controlling the chip temperature and stabilizing the fluid flows. This is a crucial
Skin fibroblasts were collected from a 44-year-old patient with sporadic case of Parkinson's disease (PD). The non-integrating Sendai virus vector encoding OCT3/4, SOX2, c-MYC and KLF4 was used to reprogram fibroblasts into induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Generated iPSCs had normal karyotypes, expressed common stem cell markers, and were capable of differentiating into all three germ layer
The project examines how grassroots organizations and networks providing urban critical services in informal settlements contribute to improve the quality of life of urban dwellers and to more inclusive forms of urban governance, constructing the city from below.The project is informed by the study of Kisumu’s informal settlements’ Resident Associations, the Water Delegated Management Model, and t
A comparative experimental investigation has been performed, comparing the emissions from a synthetic jet fuel and from Jet AI. In the investigation, the unburned hydrocarbons were analyzed chemically and the regulated emissions of NOX, CO and HC were measured. All combustion tests were performed under elevated pressures in a gas turbine combustor rig. A Swedish company, Oroboros AB, has developed
Deterministic lateral displacement (DLD) is a powerful bimodal separation scheme [1] based on fluid flow through regular obstacle arrays that in its basic embodiment sends suspended particles in two different directions as a function of size. We show that without the need to seal devices and without the need for fluidic connections or pumps, particle separation can be achieved by the passive flow
The militarized response to the rhino poaching crisis in southern Africa exposes poachers to “fatal couplings of power and difference” (Gilmore 2002). While the racialized dimensions of this phenomenon are currently the subject of robust debate, this paper focuses on how race, gender, and sexuality are co-constructed in the anti-poaching discourse. Bringing the work of geographer Ruth Wilson Gilmo
Atelectasis formation can be reduced by positive endexpiratory pressure (PEEP), but resulting increases in intrathoracic pressure could affect circulation. We have earlier demonstrated that increased tidal volumes with larger apparatus dead space improves oxygenation and sevoflurane uptake. In the present study, we hypothesize that isocapnic ventilation with increased tidal volumes increases oxyge
The latest version of the Swiss standard for building acoustics (SIA181) introduced a new measurement method, based on a balanced- Arm hammer, for evaluating the decoupling performance of service equipment. This method was developed for reproducing in a standard manner the manipulation of service equipment in bathrooms and kitchens. In this study, we are investigating the relevance of such method
Rapporten beskriver prototyper av kontinuerliga tvåfraktionsinsamlare för övervakning av partikulära luftföroreningar i arbetsmiljö som har konstruerats. En prototyp är personburen och ger möjligheter till insamling av två partikelstorleksfraktioner i 18 diskreta intervall. PIXE-metoden (analys med partikelinducerad röntgenstrålning) används för multielementanalys av de erhållna proven. Även med m
The liberalised electricity market in Sweden stresses the fact that the electricity companies must focus on customer satisfaction. Two major customer surveys concentrating on households’ requirements concerning the electricity bill have been carried out in spring 2002. The interest in energy management lies within the fact that the electricity bill can be used as a feedback instrument to influence
We are concerned with software that can self-adapt to satisfy certain reliability requirements, in spite of adverse changes affecting the environment in which it is embedded. Self-adapting software architectures are heavily based on dynamic binding. The bindings among components are dynamically set as the conditions that require a self-adaptation are discovered during the system's lifetime. By ado
