INTRODUCTION: Antineoplastic drugs (ADs) are frequently used pharmaceuticals in the healthcare, and healthcare workers can be occupationally exposed to ADs. Monitoring of surface contamination is a common way to assess occupational exposure to ADs. The objective was to develop and validate a sensitive and quantitative monitoring method to determine surface contaminations of Pt as a marker for Pt-c

Taking a historical perspective, this article compares the four Nordic states of Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden with respect to the following question: How have problem representations developed the Nordic region’s policy response to the exploitation of migrant workers?

Syftet med rapporten är att översiktligt analysera om alternativa organisations- och finansieringsformer, som är möjliga att tillämpa inom ramen för svensk lagstiftning, kan ge större nytta i termer av högre kostnadseffektivitet, snabbare genomförande och mindre eftersatt underhåll än traditionella offentliga upplägg, inom området transportinfrastruktur. Studien avgränsas till den transportinfrast
