Sweden’s “establishment reform” was introduced in 2010 with the ambition to increase the labour market participation of newly arrived migrants. It was in line with other labour market policies of the centre-right Alliance government, elected in 2006, which aimed to increase work incentives particularly for groups seen as “vulnerable” in, or excluded from, the labour market.By considering the histo

The study draws on findings from a series of seven participatory action research projects in community care for older people carried out over a period of eight years in 20 municipalities in southern Sweden. The analysis here looks at social impact across administrative levels and geographical scales. Different professional groups and care workers in community care participated, crossing divides be

IntroductionHaemophilia is a X-linked bleeding disorder affecting mostly males. Women are mainly carriers ofhaemophilia, however, they can expereince high bleeding tendency and assocaited symptoms aswith males. In the absence of the appropriate treatment, bleedings, especially into the joints, result inadverse outcomes. The general aim of this thesis was to promote the use of register-based data t

Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) promotes photoreceptor survival but also suppresses electroretinogram (ERG) responses. This has caused concerns about whether CNTF is detrimental to the function of photoreceptors because it is considered to be a potential treatment for retinal degenerative disorders. Here we report that the suppression of ERG responses is attributable to negative regulation of t

This paper reviews the current status on recommendations or guidelines for primary prophylaxis based on recent published papers from organizations or group of experts as well as some original key papers. A rather uniform view exists that prophylaxis should be initiated at an early age before or after no more than a single joint bleed and, if possible, preferably be continued for life. The dose and

We consider the problem of finding an event-based sampling scheme that optimizes the trade-off between average sampling rate and control performance in a linear-quadratic-Gaussian (LQG) control problem setting with output feedback. Our analysis is based on a recently presented sampled-data controller structure, which remains LQG-optimal for any choice of sampling scheme. We show that optimization

This chapter elaborates on human chromosome nomenclature. It provides a brief summary of the most essential cytogenetic terminology related to the description of chromosome aberrations in neoplastic cells. The chapter outlines criteria for designation of regions and bands for chromosome nomenclature. Regions and bands are numbered consecutively from the centromere outward along each chromosome arm

Organizational control is broadly understood as the methods and processes used to determine what to do and how to do it in organizations. The entry presents five main types of control. Direct control is based on personal surveillance and thus concerns face-to-face orders from one person to another about what to do and how to do it. Technical control is when technology such as the assembly line gui

Sepsis is a systemic immune response responsible for considerable morbidity and mortality. Molecular modeling of host-pathogen interactions in the disease state represents a promising strategy to define molecular events of importance for the transition from superficial to invasive infectious diseases. Here we used the Gram-positive bacterium Streptococcus pyogenes as a model system to establish a

Packaging innovation is a strategic and valuable tool yet underexplored in business and extended value chains. Demographic changes, as population aging, and the increase of healthcare costs pose challenges and opportunities for the pharmaceutical industry, where packaging innovation offers new opportunities to provide patients with better solutions. This study employs a multi-stakeholder perspecti
