Temporary Jobs in Sweden: Incidence, Exit, and On-the-Job Training.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling analyserar frågor som berör tillfälliga jobb på den svenska arbetsmarknaden under perioden 1990-1999. Ett viktigt bidrag i avhandlingen är att den stora gruppen tillfälliga jobb delas upp i mindre undergrupper för att ta i beaktande den heterogenitet som finns mellan olika former av tillfälliga jobb. En röd tråd som löper genom hela avhandlingen är fokuThis thesis analyses different aspects of temporary jobs in the Swedish labour market during 1991-1999. Throughout the thesis we put special focus on differences between the genders, and differences between native-born and foreign-born workers. In chapter 1, An Introduction to Temporary Jobs in Sweden, we describe the evolution of different types of temporary jobs in Sweden during the 1990s, we re

The Geneva-Copenhagen survey of the Solar neighbourhood. Ages, metallicities, and kinematic properties of ∼14 000 F and G dwarfs

We present and discuss new determinations of metallicity, rotation, age,kinematics, and Galactic orbits for a complete, magnitude-limited, andkinematically unbiased sample of 16 682 nearby F and G dwarf stars. Our∼63 000 new, accurate radial-velocity observations for nearly 13 500stars allow identification of most of the binary stars in the sampleand, together with published uvbyβ photometry, Hipp

Chemical enrichment in the early galaxy

New, precise abundance data for a large number of elements in a growingsample of extremely metal-poor stars are accumulating from the new 8-mtelescopes. Combined with theoretical models, these results advance ourunderstanding of the first generations of stars, whose nucleosynthesisproducts are fossilised in the oldest stars we see today and thus giveclues to the earliest phases of evolution in the

Do partial and regular migrants differ in their responses to weather?

Partial migration is often considered a transitory stage between migration and residency, and whether partial migrants take weather conditions into account during migration is largely unknown. To assess whether partial migrants differ from regular migrants in their responses to weather, we compared the migratory intensity of a partial migrant, the Blue Tit (Cyanistes caeruleus), with more regular

Effects of gradual bone lengthening on the rabbit tibial nerve

Little is known about the effect of gradual bone lengthening on peripheral nerves. In the present study, an external fixation device was applied to the rabbit tibia, which was then divided. After seven days, the tibia was subjected to 0.7 mm/day callus distraction for periods of up to one month. The tibial nerve was fixed in glutaraldehyde and plastic sections were cut in longitudinal and transver

Abdominal trauma in persons older than 60 years

Abdominal trauma occurring in persons older than 60 years over a 30-year period (1950-79) in a well defined region of Sweden was reviewed. The 177 patients comprised 12.5% of the total with abdominal trauma during that period. Road traffic accidents were the main cause of trauma (48% of cases). The incidence of motor-car accidents rose sharply during the first two decades of the study. Injuries to

Preliminary study of a genetically engineered spinal cord implant on urinary bladder after experimental spinal cord injury in rats

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of neurotrophin-secreting Schwann cell implants on the urinary bladder after spinal cord contusion. One hour after severe spinal cord contusion at the T8 to T11 level, carbon filaments containing nonsecreting Schwann cells, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)-secreting Schwann cells, neurotrophin-3 (NT-3)-secreting Schwann cells, or Schw

TIPH: Preventing Conflict Escalation in Hebron?

This article adopts a perspective that emphasises direct and structural prevention of conflict. The empirical analysis focuses on the Temporary International Presence in Hebron (TIPH) and elaborates on various strategies to prevent conflict escalation. It argues that there is an inherent tension between TIPH's operational activities and its mandate. The agreement stipulates ambitious long-term goa

Fractures of the distal forearm in young adults. An epidemiologic description of 341 patients

We describe the epidemiology of all distal radial fractures in young adults (men 20-59 years, women 20-49 years) in Lund (1992-95) and Malmo (1994-95), Sweden. During the study period, there were 341 patients with 346 fractures in the two cities, found through the Hospital Register of Diagnoses in Lund and the register of the Radiology Department in Malmo. More than half of the fractures were disl

Condensation energy of the homogeneous electron gas from density-functional theory for superconductors

The condensation energy of homogeneous electron gas is calculated within the density-functional theory for superconductors. Purely electronic considerations include the exchange energy exactly and the correlation energy on a level of the random phase approximation. Singlet superconductivity is assumed, and the Coulomb interaction is studied with a model pairing potential at angular momentum up to

Cathodoluminescence Studies of AlGaAs/GaAs Core-Shell Nanowires

We have studied nanowires with a GaAs core, covered by an AlGaAs shell, using low temperature cathodoluminescence. The main emission from the core is due carbon acceptors, though we observe a weak emission from excitons. A general observation is that the emission is much stronger from the top half of the nanowire. This emission is also more well-defined. The AlGaAs shell emission varies in emissio

Polysulfone ionomers for proton-conducting fuel cell membranes: sulfoalkylated polysulfones

Polysulfones (PSUs) carrying short pendant alkyl side-chains with terminal sulfonic acid units have been prepared and studied as proton-conducting membrane materials. The first step in the preparation involved quenching of lithiated PSU with SO2 gas, resulting in sulfinated PSU. In the second step, the lithium sulfinate units on the polymer were reacted with sodium 2-bromoethanesulfonate, sodium 3

Voting Procedures for Complex Collective Decision

it can let the committee members vote on each sub-question and then use the outcomes as premises for its conclusion on the main issue (premise based-procedure, pbp), or it can let the members directly vote on the conclusion (conclusion-based procedure, cbp). The procedures can lead to different results, but which of them is a better truth-tracker? On the basis of Condorcet's jury theorem, we show
