Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling analyserar frågor som berör tillfälliga jobb på den svenska arbetsmarknaden under perioden 1990-1999. Ett viktigt bidrag i avhandlingen är att den stora gruppen tillfälliga jobb delas upp i mindre undergrupper för att ta i beaktande den heterogenitet som finns mellan olika former av tillfälliga jobb. En röd tråd som löper genom hela avhandlingen är fokuThis thesis analyses different aspects of temporary jobs in the Swedish labour market during 1991-1999. Throughout the thesis we put special focus on differences between the genders, and differences between native-born and foreign-born workers. In chapter 1, An Introduction to Temporary Jobs in Sweden, we describe the evolution of different types of temporary jobs in Sweden during the 1990s, we re

Background: Women with breast cancer have different chances of surviving their disease, depending on where they live. Variations in survival may stem from unequal access to prompt diagnosis, treatment and care. Implementation of the right to health may help remedy such inequalities. The right to health is enshrined in international human rights law, notably Article 12 of the International Covenant

This chapter introduces systematic reviews and provides a summary of systematic review methods. Because of the challenges in palliative care trials, systematic reviews might be even more relevant in palliative care than in many other areas of health care. This chapter highlights the reasons why a researcher should use a systematic review, as well as the instances when systematic reviews are not an

BACKGROUND: As the global population ages, the demand for palliative care is expected to increase. However, studies show that older patients often receive inadequate palliative care, partly due to healthcare professionals lacking sufficient training and tools to identify and address palliative care needs effectively. This study aims to explore healthcare professionals' experiences regarding facili

ObjectivesUncertainty among healthcare providers about patients’ ability to make care decisions is a barrier to shared decision-making. We aimed to assess the self-reported decision-making ability of patients with cancer at the end of life.MethodsData from 11 countries of adults with a limited life expectancy and cancer as the primary diagnosis were used. Participants completed a questionnaire, in

Omfattningen av fukt- och mögelskador på uteluftsventilerade kalla vindar har ökatunder de senaste decennierna. Detta beror på ett flertal samverkande faktorer såsom ettvälisolerat vindsbjälklag samt byte från lokal värmekälla med varm skorstensstock tillandra uppvärmningsformer som inte bidrar till uppvärmningen av vindsutrymmet. En-ligt gängse rekommendationer ska kalla vindsutrymmen ventileras On a cold-ventilated attic, there is always an outer roof that must be tight against snow and meltwater, which means that there are also materials in the construction that make it more or less vapour tight. In traditional roofs, the waterproofing layer often consists of an asphalt-impregnated paperboard on a tonged and grooved board. As an alternative to the conventional solution, a less diffusion

Introduction: While it is recognized that there are costs associated with postoperative patient follow-up, risk assessments of catastrophic health expenditures (CHEs) due to surgery in sub-Saharan Africa rarely include expenses after discharge. We describe patient-level costs for cesarean section (c-section) and follow-up care up to postoperative day (POD) 30 and evaluate the contribution of follo

Background: The early management of polytrauma patients with traumatic spinal cord injury (tSCI) is a major challenge. Sparse data is available to provide optimal care in this scenario and worldwide variability in clinical practice has been documented in recent studies. Methods: A multidisciplinary consensus panel of physicians selected for their established clinical and scientific expertise in th

Earth observations and indirect indicators of surface and groundwater changes are valuable tools for developing such assessments.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Små, trådlösa och portabla apparater utgör idag en stor del av vår uppkopplade värld. Under det senaste decenniet har dock flera teknologiska framsteg lett mot en utveckling där allt från maskiner till kläder kommunicerar med varandra. Detta brukar kallas för "sakernas internet" och uppskattas involvera 50 miljarder enheter år 2020. Genom att förse dessa enheter med småThe modern small devices of today require cheap low power radio frequency (RF) transceivers that can provide reliable connectivity at all times. In an RF transceiver, the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is one of the most important parts and it is also one of the main power consumers. There are several architectures for implementing an ADC, but in the last decade, continuous-time Delta-Sigma mod

Fiskar i Helge å går på p-piller, vilka risker och faror medför det? När fiskar exponeras för östrogena ämnen som finns i p-piller blir de tvåkönade. P-piller kan bestå av två östrogener, där det naturliga hormonet estradiol (E2) marknadsförs som det miljövänliga alternativet. Denna studie har kommit fram till att det är falsk marknadsföring då E2 inte är miljövänligare än det syntetiska hormonetDuring the 90’s intersex individuals was found among fish downstream sewage treatment plants, this was found to be due to estrogens in the water. Today we know that one of the largest contributors of the effects on fish is 17a-ethinylestradiol (EE2). EE2 is a synthetic estrogen used in contraceptive pills and is one of the most used pharmaceuticals in the world. In addition to intersex EE2 also ge
