This report evaluates the new project FiP, First Responder, at Gästrike Fire Department. It focuses on the socio-economic benefits relative the costs. The additional costs for the project are identified. Then an average time difference, between the first responder and the next fire unit on the scene, is calculated based on the incident reports from the Swedish SOS [emergency response services]. Fi

The aim and purpose of this paper was to examine the images of children and parenting, with a focus on parental separation and reconstruction of family and parenthood, which was constructed in internet forums. Which pictures emerge of separated mothers and fathers? My material was obtained from two large community pages for parents on internet. In my analysis I have chosen to be inspired by discou

Greece in a period of financial crisis (2008-2013) is questioning the success of its policy implementation. The training centers for the intellectually disabled, as implementers of policies and programs on a national and European level, also question that success. Using Foucault’s concept of power relations within society, it is aimed to find whether policies and programmes for the intellectually

Uppsatsen handlar om vilken betydelse etablerade regionala resurser har för lokaliseringen av ny industriverksamhet. Som exempel används biltillverkaren National Electric Vehicle Sweden (NEVS) etablering i Trollhättan. Med resurser åsyftas arbetskraft, underleverantörer, kapital och infrastruktur. År 2011 gick biltillverkaren Saab Automobile i konkurs och i slutet av sommaren 2012 köpte Nevs konku

Popular science summary New microalgal strains for converting CO2 rich flue gasses into valuable biomass Global depletion of fossil fuels and climate change due to Green House Gases (GHGs) emissions are presently faced two serious challenges. It has been known from quite long that increasing concentration of greenhouse gases (mainly CO2) in the atmosphere is the key cause for global climate chan

Background: The intervention; "Continuum of Care for Frail Older People", was designed to create an integrated continuum of care from the hospital emergency department through the hospital and back to the older person's own home. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of the intervention on functional ability in terms of activities of daily living (ADL). Methods: The study is a non-blind

The global stratotype sections and points for the bases of the Selandian (Middle Paleocene) and Thanetian (Upper Paleocene) stages have been defined in the coastal cliff along the Itzurun Beach at the town of Zumaia in the Basque Country, northern Spain. In the hemipelagic section exposed at Zumaia the base of the Selandian Stage has been placed at the base of the Itzurun Formation, ca. 49 m above

Previous prevalence rates of non-suicidal self-injury(NSSI) in adolescents have varied considerably. In the present cross-sectional study, prevalence rates, characteristics and functions of NSSI were assessed in a large randomized community sample consisting of 3,060 (50.5 % female) Swedish adolescents aged 15–17 years. The suggested criteria for NSSI disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Man

A search for new phenomena in events featuring a high energy jet and large missing transverse momentum in proton-proton collisions at root s = 7 TeV is presented using a dataset corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 33 pb(-1) recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The number of observed events is consistent with the Standard Model prediction. This result is interpret

Sixty-four adult patients operated on for isolated cleft palate were evaluated with regard to facial skeletal morphology using conventional radio-cephalometry. Dental occlusion was assessed clinically. Forty-two had had a von Langenbeck repair at the age of 7 months and 22 a Wardill repair at 18 months. The mean error of the method was 0.7 degree for angular, and 0.9 mm for linear, measurements. T

Mineral water and soft drinks with a perceptible off-odour were analysed to identify contaminants originating from previous misuse of the refillable polyethylene terephthalate ( PET) bottle. Consumers detected the off-odour after opening the bottle and duly returned it with the remaining content to the producers. The contaminants in question had thus been undetected by the in-line detection device

Helicobacter species are fastidious bacterial pathogens that are difficult to culture by standard methods. A PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) technique for detection and identification of different Helicobacter species was developed and evaluated. The method involves PCR detection of Helicobacter DNA by genus-specific primers that target 16S rDNA and subsequent differentiatio

Rättssociologiska enheten vid Lunds Universitet har av projektägaren Föreningen Bryggeriet, Malmö, fått i uppdrag att utvärdera EU-projektet "Mötesplats Social Ekonomi Malmö". Projektet har erbjudit långtidsarbetslösa och långtidssjukskrivna arbetsträningsplatser i Malmös föreningsliv. Projektet är ett intressant samverkansprojekt mellan fyra föreningar och Malmö stad/Södra Innerstaden samt Försäk

Background: Visceral ischaemia and cytokine release are early stages in the development of shock and multiorgan failure. Because of lack of methods to measure anaerobic metabolism or visceral hypoxia in the early phase, diagnosis is not usually established until shock and organ failure are evident. Methods: Nineteen patients were studied postoperatively after major abdominal gastrointestinal surge
