Den statliga lönegarantin är en skyddslagstiftning som ger arbetstagare rätt till ersättning om arbetsgivaren går i konkurs. I en granskande rapport från Riksrevisionen framkommer det att 6–9 % av utbetalt garantibelopp utgörs av misstänkt missbruk av lönegarantin. Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka om de föreslagna åtgärderna i Riksrevisionens granskning kan förväntas minska missbruk av lönegarantThe earnings guarantee is a legislation designated to compensate employees for loss of salary if the employer is declared bankrupt. In an audit by the Swedish National Audit Organization (the Swedish NAO), it is estimated that 6–9 % of all earnings guarantee payments consist of misusage. The purpose of this article is to examine if the measures suggested by the Swedish NAO can be considered adequa

Image monitors and viewing boxes have a crucial role in the diagnostic process. Modern radiology uses different modalities to produce digital images which are to be viewed in different parts of the radiology department and throughout the hospital, sometimes simultaneously, via the Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS). Therefore, the quality of the image monitors is of great importanc

Den här texten beskriver processen under vilken jag studerat mig själv som improvisationsmusiker i formatet solopiano. Jag undersöker hur jag skapar bästa möjliga förutsättningar för att känna mig både fri, inspirerad och motiverad, när jag inte får någon musikalisk information från andra medmusiker. Med hjälp av etablerandet av strikta ramar och begränsningar av olika karaktär har jag genomfört iThis paper describes the process during which I’ve studied myself as an improvisational musician in the format of solo piano. I examine in what way I can create the best possible conditions for myself to feel both free, inspired and motivated, when I’m not receiving any musical information from fellow musicians. With the help of different kinds of strict frames and limitations, I have performed im

More than ever before the European integration project reached a point of political and economic crisis that cannot be dismissed. The main academic and political solutions presented for the crisis is to refocus on European citizens, enhance their rights and make them part of the system, a move considered to be a response to democratic deficit. The present thesis takes the discussion one step furth

This Master Thesis describes the product development of a medical laboratory machine. The purpose of the project was to generate and evaluate different concepts of a device that is to be included in a bigger process named Dried Blood Spot testing (DBS) in which dried blood samples are collected and analyzed. The device developed here shall relocate the blood samples from a paper slip, mounted on a

Syftet med denna studie är att fokusera på hur lärarstudenter i musik ser på förutsättningar för kreativitet. Hur förhåller sig dessa studenter till kreativitet och hur tror de att kommer förhålla sig till kreativitet som blivande lärare? Studien fokuserar på lärarstudenternas egen syn och erfarenheter av kreativitet och därför har studiens datainsamling skett via intervjuer i en fokusgrupp. Det fPreconditions for creativity – How do students on the music teacher program relate to preconditions for creativity? This is a study focusing on how students on music teachers program think about the preconditions for creativity. How these students relate to creativity and how do they think they will relate to creativity as future teachers? The study focuses on the students' own experiences of

Små regulatoriska molekyler i vårt blod Sedan det mänskliga genomet kartlades i början av 2000-talet har stora upptäckter gjorts och teknikutvecklingen har gått fort. Dagens sekvenseringsmaskiner är kraftfulla och kan sekvensera hela det mänskliga genomet på bara två dagar. I mitt masterarbete har jag undersökt små korta RNA-molekyler i mänskligt blod. Denna typ av molekyler är mycket lovande somAbstract In recent years focused research aimed at finding new specific and sensitive biomarkers for detection, classification and, monitoring of human cancers has been ongoing. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, 19-24 nucleotides, noncoding RNAs that are stably expressed in body fluids such as blood. These circulating RNAs have shown great promise as biomarkers, because the unique expression patterns

Platform trials have become widely adopted across multiple disease areas over recent years, however, guidelines for operationalising these trials have not kept pace. We outline a series of documents that summarise the statistical components, and implicit processes, of the Staphylococcus aureus Network Adaptive Platform (SNAP) trial to provide an informal template for other researchers and reviewer

We present the first public implementation of antenna-based QCD initial- and final-state showers. The shower kernels are 2 → 3 antenna functions, which capture not only the collinear dynamics but also the leading soft (coherent) singularities of QCD matrix elements. We define the evolution measure to be inversely proportional to the leading poles, hence gluon emissions are evolved in a p⊥measure i

Crystals, nanoparticles, and fibrils catalyze the generation of new aggregates on their surface from the same type of monomeric building blocks as the parent assemblies. This secondary nucleation process can be many orders of magnitude faster than primary nucleation. In the case of amyloid fibrils associated with Alzheimer's disease, this process leads to the multiplication and propagation of aggr

The third cumulant for the aggregated multivariate claims is considered. A formula is presented for the general case when the aggregating variable is independent of the multivariate claims. Two important special cases are considered. In the first one, multivariate skewed normal claims are considered and aggregated by a Poisson variable. The second case is dealing with multivariate asymmetric gener

In the region of Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) in China, there has been occurrence of several frequent earthquakes of moderate intensity since reservoir impounding occurred in 2003. These earthquakes are generally believed to be induced by reservoir impoundment and water-level variations. Usually, the geo-stress will change, when natural earthquakes occur. Following this principle, this paper adopt

Temperature governs most biotic processes, yet we know little about how warming affects whole ecosystems. Here we examined the responses of 128 components of a subarctic grassland to either 5–8 or >50 years of soil warming. Warming of >50 years drove the ecosystem to a new steady state possessing a distinct biotic composition and reduced species richness, biomass and soil organic matter. However,

Aerobic granular sludge (AGS) plants have gained growing interest and application due to their low energy demand, small footprint, and low operational costs. However, the fulfilment of strict discharge limits for nitrogen and phosphorus, vast seasonal temperature variations, and large peaks in influent flows may pose challenges to the implementation of AGS. Moreover, the knowledge about microbial

If the Anthropocene marks a changed way of being in the world resulting from the integration of human activity and geological processes, a main question is how this situation may be aesthetically represented and with what implications. This article sketches an aesthetics of the Anthropocene by analyzing artistic engagements with advanced tools of visual calculation used in the context of the envir

The role of gender relations in shaping technological transitions is widely acknowledged but remains understudied. This study uses historical data to analyze the gendering of early 20th century American cars and its impact. Previous research has argued that early electric vehicles were construed as a women's car, contributing to its demise. Other work has questioned to what extent automotive prefe

BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to evaluate anaesthesia care professionals' perceptions and attitudes regarding the implementation and advancement of digital solutions in perioperative care.METHODS: Anaesthesia personnel working in public Swedish institutions where anaesthesia is administered were invited to respond to an online survey regarding their attitudes towards digitalization i

A male common swift Apus apus was equipped with a light logger on August 5, 2010, and again captured in his nest 298 days later. The data stored in the light logger enables analysis of the fascinating travel it made in this time period. The state of the art algorithm for geolocation based on light loggers consists in computing first sunrise and sunset from the logged data, which are then converted

This paper aims to show how systems thinking can be used to investigate barriers to organisational change management. The case study described in this paper would be useful to managers who want to implement change in their own organisations. Soft Systems Methodology and ETHICS were used due to their flexible, responsive, and emergent nature. Also, soft systems methodology (SSM) and ETHICS (Effecti
