Popular Abstract in Swedish Detta arbete behandlar regleringen av arbetsgivarens arbetsledningsrätt och arbetstagarens arbetsskyldighet i svensk, engelsk och tysk rätt i ljuset av arbetslivets ökade flexibilisering. Arbetslivets flexibilisering handlar om att öka anpassningsförmågan och rörligheten, och beskrivs ofta som övergången från den traditionella anställningen till atypiska anställningar. The general aim of this doctoral thesis is to study the legal regulation of the managerial prerogative and how it relates to the employee’s obligation to work in Swedish, English and German law in the light of the increasing flexibilisation of working life. The ongoing flexibilisation of working life is often described as an increase in adaptability and allocative flexibility, and as a shift from

Background: Population-based prevalence studies suggest that psychosis is a continuum distributed in the general population. Aim: To assess the prevalence of delusional ideation in young healthy individuals in a low-income country setting (Uganda) and to investigate possible relevant background factors. Method: Interviews were conducted in a district capital and in three rural villages, using the

The former winter sports camp Frostavallen was connected by a track to the nearest railway halt, now part of the Skaneleden subtrail Ridge to Ridge. Rubus echinatus, R. senticosus and R. sciocharis occur at three sites in the area, probably a result of timber import half a century ago.

A population of 101 laboratory technicians handling laboratory animals was studied with regard to predisposing factors for allergy. Twenty-seven had symptoms indicating laboratory animal allergy (LAA); of these, nine had asthma and were skin prick test positive for animal allergens. The LAA asthmatics had an increased frequency of a family history of allergy (relative risk, RR = 3.8); the predicti

OBJECTIVES This study was designed to investigate the loss of well-being, in terms of lift-years, overall and in patients randomized to metoprolol versus carvedilol in the Carvcdilol Or Metoprolol European Trial (COMET). BACKGROUND The ultimate objectives of treating patients with heart failure are to relieve suffering and prolong life. Although the effect of treatment on mortality is usually desc

AiM To describe factors associated with an increased chance of survival among patients suffering from an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Sweden. Patients and Methods All patients suffering from an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, which were not crew witnessed, in Sweden and in,whom cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was attempted and who were registered in the Swedish Cardiac Arrest Registry. Th

Objective: To compare the effects of low-dose transdermal estradiol (E2)/norethisterone acetate (NETA) patches (Estalis 25/125) with low-dose oral E2/NETA (Activelle) on cardiovascular biochemical markers after 12 and 52 weeks of treatment in postmenopausal women with intact uteri. Design: Participants were randomly assigned to receive either transdermal E2/NETA (delivering daily doses of 25 [mu]

BACKGROUND: Calcitonin-related peptides have been found in the human prostate, and calcitonin (CT) and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) have been demonstrated in subpopulations of neuroendocrine (NE) cells. The purpose of this study was to determine the concentrations of CT and CGRP as well as the densities of NE cells in normal prostates, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and carcinoma of

This study compares the effectiveness of teaching the calculation of frontal plane QRS axis with the use of the classical versus the orderly electrocardiographic limb lead display. Eighty-three students from two environments were randomized into two groups and were taught to determine frontal plane axis with one of the methods. The accuracy and time to determine the axis were tested on 10 electroc

The Protogine Zone is a major tectonic zone situated at the eastern boundary of the Sveconorwegian orogenic belt in southern Sweden. This structure hosts Mesoproterozoic dolerite dykes and plutonic rocks including ultramafic cumulate, syenite, monzonorite and granite. Pb-Pb zircon evaporation ages are reported for seven samples of rocks along the Protogine Zone, including the Vaggeryd syenite plut

Neural progenitors in the adult dentate gyrus continuously produce new functional granule cells. Here we used whole-cell patch-clamp recordings to explore whether a pathological environment influences synaptic properties of new granule cells labeled with a GFP-retroviral vector. Rats were exposed to a physiological stimulus, i.e., running, or a brain insult, i.e., status epilepticus, which gave ri
