Multiple discrimination. A smokescreen over differences

Sweden is frequently described both as one of the most advanced Western countries when it comes to social and economic equality, and as one of the most segregated with respect to gender and ethnicity. That kind of ambiguity leads to problems when discussing ways for immigrants to get entrance to the Swedish labour market and to get a permanent position at a Swedish workplace. In order to explore t

Mesenchymal Cells Regulate Retinoic Acid Receptor-Dependent Cortical Thymic Epithelial Cell Homeostasis.

The vitamin A metabolite and transcriptional modulator retinoic acid (RA) is recognized as an important regulator of epithelial cell homeostasis in several tissues. Despite the known importance of the epithelial compartment of the thymus in T cell development and selection, the potential role of RA in the regulation of thymic cortical and medullary epithelial cell homeostasis has yet to be address

Normative Calcaneal Quantitative Ultrasound Data as an Estimation of Skeletal Development in Swedish Children and Adolescents.

We present age- and gender-specific normative bone status data evaluated by quantitative ultrasound (QUS) in the calcaneus with the Lunar Achilles device and compare these estimates with bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) estimated by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Included were a sample of 518 population-based collected Swedish girls and 558 boys aged 6-19 years. QUS meas

Two quantum-beat phenomena observed for magnetically tuned atomic sublevels

Quantum-beat signals can also be observed when the length of the exciting pulse is not short compared to the Bohr precession period if spontaneous decays during the pulse are important. Experimental demonstration for Zeeman quantum beats in the 6s6p 3P1-6s21S0 ytterbium transition, as well as a simple description of the phenomenon is given. In the same way as quantum beats can be obtained for cohe

Improved Distinguishers on Stream Ciphers with Certain Weak Feedback Polynomials

It is well known that fast correlation attacks can be very efficient if the feedback polynomial is of low weight. These feedback polynomials can be considered weak in the context of stream ciphers. This paper generalizes the class of weak feedback polynomials into polynomials were taps are located in several groups, possibly far apart. Low weight feedback polynomials are thus a special case of thi

Injuries in STS travel – a multi methodology approach to estimate incidence and societal costs

Objective: Previous research has shown that elderly and disabled travelers using Special Transportation Services (STS) are injured without being involved in a vehicle crash. In order to estimate the true costs for these vehicle-related injuries, the focus needs to be adjusted towards an incident/traveler-oriented perspective. The aim of the project was thus to utilize such a perspective, in order
