This dissertation is about the introduction of school television in Sweden during the 1960?s. It focuses partly on formal and institutional attitudes and values, as in the educational system, and it is partly an investigation of the actual programmes made. The introduction and forming of school television is seen as a consequence due to many factors. It was the time of a growing welfare society wh
Background: Current evidence supports the use of intravenous thrombolysis with alteplase in patients with wake-up stroke selected with MRI or perfusion imaging and is recommended in clinical guidelines. However, access to advanced imaging techniques is often scarce. We aimed to determine whether thrombolytic treatment with intravenous tenecteplase given within 4·5 h of awakening improves functiona
Background: Registry data used to monitor clinical care need to be reliable, and the process for assuring data quality transparent. Here the auditing process of the Swedish quality registry for cardiac disease, SWEDEHEART, is described. Methods: SWEDEHEART audits have been performed at 4 time-points in 2011 to 2018, with data quality audited in the 3 largest subregistries covering acute coronary s
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a heterogeneous disease that develops through diverse pathophysiological processes1,2 and molecular mechanisms that are often specific to cell type3,4. Here, to characterize the genetic contribution to these processes across ancestry groups, we aggregate genome-wide association study data from 2,535,601 individuals (39.7% not of European ancestry), including 428,452 cases
En av den moderna demokratins mest bestående, och i allt högre grad aktuella, frågor är om, och i vilket avseende, folket kan vara närvarande. Samtidigt som folkets närvaro har, och alltjämt fortsätter att vara, demokratins villkor, har det sedan länge ansetts omöjligt för folket att vara närvarande i faktisk bemärkelse. Enligt det konventionella narrativet har denna frånvaro setts som en nödvändiIn modern political thought, one of the most recalcitrant, and increasingly pressing, questions of modern democracy is whether, and in what sense, the people can be present. While the presence of the people has, and continues to be, the sine qua non of the democratic form of government, it has also been for a long time held that the people cannot be present literally or in fact. According to the c
Sweden has during the past decades experienced increasing challenges in suburban, segregated areas: the inhabitants have different cultural and socio-economic backgrounds but despite that, face similar problems. Many inhabitants lack relevant networks as well as other opportunities to become a part of the society. These inhabitants claim they don´t have the “keys” to understand their society and iSweden has during the past decades experienced increasing challenges in suburban, segregated areas: the inhabitants have different cultural and socio-economic backgrounds but despite that, face similar problems.

The rate of self-fertilization (that is, selfing) is a key evolutionary parameter in hermaphroditic species, yet obtaining accurate estimates of selfing rates in natural populations can be technically challenging. Most published estimates are derived from population-level heterozygote deficiency (that is, F IS) or identity disequilibria (for example, the software RMES (robust multilocus estimate o
Popular Abstract in Swedish Is är något som de flesta människor i Sverige kommer i kontakt med dagligen,om det är för att kyla en dryck eller ta sig en glass, är det något som de flesta är bekanta med. Om en vattenlösning eller en vattensuspension kyls under fryspunkten för vatten ( 0 °C) så börjar iskristaller att bildas. Speciellt med denna process är att iskristallerna som bildas består endast Macroporous hydrogels are regarded as interesting materials both within biotechnology and biomedicine due to their properties. These materials can be prepared from a wide range of synthetic or naturally occurring compounds using a number of different techniques for their production. For this thesis, cryostructuring was used to prepare macroporous hydrogels, often named cryogels. The work utilized
This study investigates the feminisation of the Swedish commercial bank sector between 1885 and 1937, during which time the female labour share increased from 10 to 27 per cent. More specifically, it is examined why the banks hired women, and why they did not hire women to an even greater extent. The study employs a queue-theoretical framework, and a micro-level panel database constructed from the
Growing concerns about climate change and depleting fossil feedstocks are driving a shift within the chemical industry from energy-intensive processes to more environmentally sound and sustainable processing using renewable feedstocks. One such process is the utilization of lipases for the chemo-enzymatic epoxidation of vegetable oils and fatty acids. The lipase mediated route for production of fa
AbstractBoth men and women with end stage renal disease (ESRD) often suffer from infertility. The reason for this is multifactorial and includes sexual dysfunction, psychological factors and hormonal disturbances. The hypothalamic-pituitary gonadal axis is altered already at moderate reduction in kidney function. Hyperprolactinemia and testosterone deficiency due to Leydig cell impairment have bee
The outcome of a procurement process largely depends upon how it was designed e.g. the terms and conditions that evaluates on what criteria a supplier is awarded a contract. In private sector procurement, evaluation of past performance is natural part of the evaluation process procurement. In public procurement there are more limited possibilities to evaluate past performance based on the rules an
Characterization of emissions from fires in a laboratory-controlled environment are presented in this report. The project is initiated by the CERN HSE Unit and is called FIRIA, Fire-Induced Radiological Integrated Assessment. The objective of FIRIA is to enhance the knowledge of aerosols emitted from fires in order to develop dispersion models of radiologically-activated material in case of fire.
En trend inom Sveriges, EU:s samt delar av övriga världens bolagsrätt är att förenkla reglerna för aktiebolag. I detta ligger att revidera kravet som ställs på att aktiebolagens stiftare ska tillskjuta en viss summa pengar som ekonomisk buffert till bolaget, ett så kallat aktiekapital. Den minsta nivå av aktiekapital som behöver tillskjutas bolaget vid bildningen utgörs av minimikapitalet. I SveriA trend in the company laws of Sweden, Europe and parts of the rest of the world is to simplify the rules for limited liability corporations. Within this simplification lies the revising of the requirement imposed on the companies' founders to inject a certain amount of money as an economic buffer to the company, a so-called legal capital. The minimum level of legal capital required to legally
Induction machines have been used in a wide range of applications due to its robustness and its low price. These characteristics make the induction machine a suitable option for industrial and home environments especially for those applications where the required speed is constant and the load does not change drastically. As an alternative to the induction machine, the synchronous machine, particu
The importance of food on achieving sustainability has been a topic increasingly moved to the forefront of the international debate. Thus, governments from around the globe have developed and adopted comprehensive food policies aiming at sustainable development. As part of this, public procurement has been identified as a powerful tool leveraging government’s purchasing power and holding an intere
Moisture in roof constructions is currently a major concern in the building industry, especially in Sweden where the climate is often wet and the dry season short. In order to avoid these problems in the future there needs to be a greater understanding and focus on building techniques that prevent mold problems. Crucial to mold prevention is the vapor retarder, which is relied heavily upon in roof
Metangas bidrar med en signifikant andel till den rådande växthuseffekten på jorden. I nutid är den största källan till utsläpp av metangas våtmarker i jämförelse med andra naturliga utsläppskällor. Emissioner av metangas från våtmarker är beroende av klimatet och har den egenskapen att ge en positiv återkoppling till klimatändringen. Icke desto mindre finns det dock stor osäkerhet associerat med Popular science Global warming is a significant environmental problem now-a-days. Methane is a major greenhouse gas causing global warming by trapping long wave radiations from the Earth. Presently, natural wetlands are responsible for the largest amount of emissions of this gas when compared to other natural sources. Changing climate impacts the emissions from wetlands which in turn further inten
