In 2008, the National Library of Sweden decided to transition from the Swedish system of classification, SAB, to the internationally established system Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC). The aim of this master’s thesis is to study the process of transition and the effect of this transition on the library collections and users of three Swedish libraries: two university libraries and one public lib

Arbetsdomstolens partsammansättning har länge ifrågasatts. Fyra av sju ledamöter utnämns på förslag av centrala arbetsmarknadsorganisationer. Denna sammansättning är en konsekvens av att den svenska arbetsrättsliga lagstiftningen utgår ifrån den s.k. svenska modellen med kollektivavtalsbärande centrala arbetsmarknadsorganisationer som legala representanter för arbetsmarknadens parter. I den juridiThe composition of the Swedish Labour Court with members representing the interests of employers and employees has been questioned since long. Four out of seven members are appointed and mandated on proposals of central labour market organizations (this members are hereinafter referred to as “interest members”). This composition is an effect of the fact that the Swedish labour legislation assumes

Since EU’s expansion to incorporate former Communist countries, attempts to solve the so-called “Roma issue” spurred an unprecedented array of policies, interventions and measures at national and transnational level. Instead of the expected positive changes, discrimination and poverty worsened. The current migration waves, economic crisis, and the surge of far-right nationalism, contributed to an

Ett varumärkesrättsligt skydd är ofta något som företag arbetar hårt för att uppnå. I vissa fall kan ett varumärke anses ha ett ekonomiskt värde i sig. Den tekniska utvecklingen har medfört ett förändrat samhällsklimat där individer getts ett allt större utrymme att utrycka sig. Ett förhållandevis nytt fenomen är influencers – personer som via internetplattformar använder sin egen person för att mA trademark protection is often something that companies work hard for. In some cases, a trademark may be considered to have an economic value in itself. The technological development has led to a changed social climate in which individuals are given an increasing amount of space to express themselves. A relatively new phenomenon is influencers – people who, via internet platforms, use their own p

The BRCA1 gene is thought to exert its main function early in life. We, therefore, studied the effects of BRCA1 mutations on birth weight and birth length. This was carried out by comparing 33 women with and without mutations. Birth weight and length were obtained from a self-administered questionnaire. BRCA1 mutations carriers had a significantly lower birth weight (P = 0.0041) compared with non-

Acquired chromosome abnormalities in tumours often reflect pathogenetic events at the gene level. Multicolour fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) with single-copy probes offers extensive possibilities to characterise chromosome breakpoints in relation to the physical map of the human genome. This approach is based on the construction of comprehensive EST- based maps, combinatorial labelling

Today’s hospitals in Sweden are all dependent of large networks of suppliers of medical supplies. These consist of many supply chains that are regularly exposed to both external and internal risks. One hospital affected by these risks is UMAS (Malmö University Hospital). UMAS is dependent on its supply chains to work without disruptions but it is unclear what risks they might be exposed to and how

Syftet med denna kvantitativa studie var att följa upp extremt för tidigt födda (före vecka 29) när de nått vuxen ålder. De extremt för tidigt födda jämfördes med en kontrollgrupp bestående av jämnåriga födda i fullgången tid. Deltagarna i studien hämtades från en uppföljningsstudie av extremt för tidigt födda som tidigare följts upp vid 10 och 18 års ålder. Deltagarna var vid tiden för studien 27The aim of this quantitative study was to follow up children born extremely preterm (before week 29) in adulthood. The group of extremely preterm adults was compared to peers born at term. The extremely preterm and the control group have previously been followed up at ages 10 and 18. At the time of this study the participants were 27-28 years old. Questionnaires were sent to the two groups and 77

BACKGROUND: Heparin-binding protein (HBP) is a neutrophil-derived pro-inflammatory protein, an inducer of endothelial dysfunction and vascular permeability and a promising prognostic biomarker in sepsis. This exploratory study aims to describe the kinetics of plasma HBP during septic shock and investigate an association between repeated measures of HBP concentration and cardiovascular organ dysfun

Background: Adverse perinatal exposures have been associated with psychiatric disorders and suicidal behaviours later in life. However, the independent associations of gestational age at birth or fetal growth with suicide death, potential sex-specific differences, and causality of these associations are unclear. Methods: A national cohort study was conducted of all 2 440 518 singletons born in Swe

Originally studied in relation to aging and cancer research, telomerase is now also investigated in relation to psychiatric disorders and treatments. Based on emerging clinical and preclinical data, we hypothesise that telomerase activation could represent a novel element mediating the mechanism of action of certain psychopharmacological interventions (e.g. antidepressants, lithium and antipsychot

Hans Christian Andersen's tale "The Marsh King's Daughter" (1858) is analysed in relation to Birgitta Trotzig's prose tale of the same title, Dykungens dotter (1985), with the emphasis on Andersen's tale which would seem to be a pious Christian morality in which evil is destroyed and the powers of light conquer darkness. At the same time, Andersen's symbols make clear that darkness is a necessary

As an ambition to stress the construction of an external and an internal dimension within law I have chosen to study the non-pecuniary damages to victims of crime. The foundation for these damages came from the deep structure of law about the idea that the right to integrity of the human body and soul are one of the corner- stones in the state governed by law. But when it comes to estimating the a

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
