Industry dynamics in the Swedish textile and wearing apparel sector

This paper analyses the adjustment process within the Swedish textile and wearing apparel sector and finds results that support the notion of Schumpeter's 'creative' destruction. The turnover of plants and jobs seems to 'improve' the industries from within due to an exit (entry) of less (more) productive plants, exit (entry) of old (new) incumbents, a destruction (creation) of less (more) human-ca

Hus i Sverige - perspektiv på energianvändningen

Sverige står inför ett skifte av energisystem. Det är hög tid att inse vilken utmaning som ligger i detta - en utmaning för bygg- och fastighetssektorn, för energibranschen och för våra politiker! Energipolitiken skulle kunna vara ett av verktygen för att bemästra arbetslösheten och urholkningen av vårt välfärssystem. Sverige måste byggas om till ett hushållande och kretsloppsanpassat samhälle som

Seropositivities to human papillomavirus types 16, 18, or 33 capsids and to Chlamydia trachomatis are markers of sexual behavior

The association of seropositivity to human papillomavirus (HPV) capsids of types 11, 16, 18, or 33 with sexual behavior was investigated. Among 1002 women visiting family planning or youth clinics in Sweden, an age-matched subsample of 274 women stratified according to lifetime number of sex partners was analyzed. The proportion of HPV-16-seropositive subjects increased linearly at approximately 4

Neurotransmitter candidates in the vomeronasal organ of the rat.

Conclusion: The rich supply of nerve fibres containing neurotransmitters, particularly those containing SP and CGRP, is suggested to be a prerequisite for the recognition of chemical irritants as part of a chemical sense. Objective: The present study was designed to examine the distribution of different neurotransmitter candidates in the vomeronasal organ (VNO) of rats. Materials and methods: The

Förändring av deltagandet i produktionen : Exempel från slutmonteringsfabriker i Volvo

This dissertation focuses on the changes in the organization of the production process that occurred at Volvo Cars and Volvo Trucks in the early 1990s. The changes were directed at the established division of labor – both vertical and horizontal – between different groups of employees: managers, foremen, white and blue-collar workers. The questions posed are primarily concerned with the changes fo

Texture promoting capacity and EPS formation by lactic acid bacteria in three different oat-based non-dairy media

Four strains of lactic acid bacteria were used as pure or mixed cultures to investigate the texture-promoting capacity and exopolysaccharides (EPS) formation in three different oat-based, non-dairy milk products, Adavena G40, Adavena M40 (both with a dry matter content of 20%) and Mill Milk (with a dry matter content of 10%). Viscosity was measured at two different shear rates during 2 min of shea

Reduction of iron oxides by carbon in a circulating fluidized bed reactor

A theoretical analysis of the reduction of iron oxides by carbon in a circulating fluidized bed reactor is considered in this study. Iron oxide and coal particles are fast fluidized in the main column by a hot stream of gases (N2–CO–CO2–H2–H2O). The analysis considers kinetic and hydrodynamic factors in the reactor and assumes the reduction reaction by carbon to proceed through gaseous intermediat

Isolation and characterisation of a 17-kDa staphylococcal heparin-binding protein with broad specificity

A previous study reported the ability of staphylococci to bind heparin and heparin-dependent host growth factors. The present study isolated and identified heparin- and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF)-binding surface components of S. epidermidis strain RP12 and S. haemolyticus strain SM 131. The staphylococcal heparin-binding component(s) were purified by affinity chromatography on heparin-S

Particle-visualisation - a tool for determination of rise velocities

Particles from post denitrifying Kaldnes Moving Bed(TM) Process were studied using an optical borescope, a visualisation technique that provides opportunities for both qualitative and quantitative studies of the separation mechanism in Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF). Rise rates for particle/bubble aggregates were estimated showing great variability. Two groups of aggregates were distinguished; rela

Benchmark Simulation Model No 2 in Matlab-Simulink: towards plant-wide WWTP control strategy evaluation

In this paper, implementation of the Benchmark Simulation Model No 2 (BSM2) within Matlab-Simulink is presented. The BSM2 is developed for plant-wide WWTP control strategy evaluation on a long-term basis. It consists of a pre-treatment process, an activated sludge process and sludge treatment processes. Extended evaluation criteria are proposed for plant-wide control strategy assessment. Default o
