This article analyses the mobilisation of migrant workers in SAC, the main syndicalist trade union in Sweden. It theorises mobilisation and solidarity from a labour process perspective and, based on ethnography, identifies accessibility, contentiousness and belonging as key mechanisms to explain the union’s form of mobilisation. By drawing on the class struggle unionism framework, it conceptualise
This paper describes a study examining four different GARCH models AR(1)-GARCH(1,1), AR(1)-EGARCH(1,1), AR(1)-APGARCH(1,1) and AR(1)-GJR-GARCH(1,1), and their ability to predict future volatility and thereby providing more reliable estimates for Value-at-Risk. The study is based on daily observations for the return of the OMX Stockholm 30 Index, during the time period 31st December 1996 to 29th De
Global heating is a topic that is debated in every part of the world. The weather has become more extreme. While scientists debate over the reason for those extremes it is no doubt that emission of greenhouse gases are constantly increasing globally. China has in the past years substantially increased their investment in energy to cope with the demands of their booming economy. Much of the increas
Through time a woman’s right to abortion has been an emotionally and morally issue all over the world. The ethical complexity of abortion questions affects individual, political, cultural and religious levels in communities.

In this paper, NaCl pellets are produced in-house from ordinary household salt using simple and accessible methods, for the purpose of suggesting a cost-effective and available tool for various optically stimulated luminescence dosimetry applications. First, the pellets are investigated in terms of optimal configuration by varying combinations of grain sizes and compression forces. Then, the pelle
Many studies have drawn attention to the vital role mothers have in safeguarding the health and nutritional wellbeing of their children. However, little is known about mothers' experiences and the challenges they face in fulfilling this role in rapidly urbanizing cities in Africa. This study aims to explore child care and feeding practices of mothers with children under five years of age in Addis
In theory, the use of collateral in credit contracting should mitigate the information problems that are widely held to be the primary cause of credit rationing. However, direct empirical evidence of the link between collateral use and credit rationing is scant. This paper examines the relationship between collateral and credit rationing using survey data that provides clean measures of quantity a
Water damages have been an expensive problem for Swedish house owners for many decades and costs society billions of Swedish kronor every year. In an attempt to reduce the number of water damages, and the severe consequences there off, a project called VASKA was launched in Umeå in 1987. In the neighbourhood of Ersmark there were 24 houses built, all following the list of requirements set by VASKA
An environmentally hazardous activity, where surface water management exists, can be bound by Swedish law to apply for an environmental permit or has a duty to report its activity. In recent years, the environmental permitting regulations have undergone comprehensive changes where old practices and environmental quality standards are phased out and new ones introduced. In this study, a previously
Public Private Partnership, PPP, is a public procurement method involving the private sector used in several countries all over the world, now upcoming in Sweden. The UK, most prominent within this method, states that it offers good value for money, but the economic and financial benefits of PPP are still uncertain and subjects of debate. In order for the projects to be successful and to achieve v
During the last 10 years Sweden's municipalities have changed their eldercare organisation. From a traditional organisation with an executive official of aid who even had the staff responsibility in the execution to a separate or specialized organization where the official only have the exercise of public authority. The evaluators of aid (biståndsbedömare) have the title executive officials (b
More and more user groups are using medical devices. Heart starters are, for example, available in public places and used by non-professionals. Different mobile medical applications, designed to help people manage their own health, are now being added to the medical device spectra. Users handling medical devices make errors, but by involving users in the risk management process, it is possible to
Background Both patient survival and the proportion of patients diagnosed with thin cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) have been steadily rising in Sweden as in most Western countries, although the rate of improvement in survival appears to have declined in Sweden at the end of the last millennium. Objectives To analyse the most recent trends in the distribution of tumour thickness (T category) as
New interactive information and communication technology (ICT) has opened up new possibilities in the field of distance education. The traditional distance education organisations are challenged by conventional universities who have developed into dual mode institutions using interactive ICT. This challenge from conventional universities may also involve a conceptual challenge - from distribution
Background: Climate change can directly affect human health by varying exposure to non-optimal outdoor temperature. However, evidence on this direct impact at a global scale is limited, mainly due to issues in modelling and projecting complex and highly heterogeneous epidemiological relationships across different populations and climates. Methods: We collected observed daily time series of mean te
Water resources management in water scarce regions like the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) is challenging with both large hydro-climatic-induced scarcity and the considerable inter-annual fluctuations at the centre of the allocation problem. Water must be allocated both in time and space using acceptable criteria and most importantly, all stakeholders must adhere to the decisions imp
