In this article, the concept of the employer is analysed for Swedish conditions from a variety of perspectives. The special difficulties that face the private sector are charted, as are the principles of the legal subject in triparty contracts with temporary employment agencies, platform work, and umbrella companies. Found to go hand in hand with the concept of employee, the concept of the employe

The paper aims to identify and analyse potential legal avenues for phasing out fossil fuels in the European Union using EU State aid rules. Our analysis of the EU’s legal framework reveals that the EU State aid rules would allow the European Commission to effectively target and monitor fossil fuel subsidies. In particular, the requirements for notification, examination, transparency, reporting, an

Background: Glenohumeral osteoarthritis can, in the most severe cases, require surgery with insertion of a shoulder arthroplasty. A design with a stem in the humeral bone canal is currently regarded as the standard treatment option in patients who have an intact rotator cuff function, but complications related to the stem including humeral fractures can have devastating consequences. By using a st

The stacked multilevel (SML) klystron modulator topology has been suggested as an alternative to conventional pulse transformer-based topologies in an attempt to improve output pulse performance and reduce system size for long-pulse applications. In this topology, a power converter chain including a high-frequency transformer generates the output pulse in a pulse modulation/demodulation scheme, el

Osteoporosis often leads to fragility fractures of the hip, resulting in impaired quality of life and increased mortality. Augmenting the proximal femur could be an attractive option for prevention of fracture or fixation device failure. We describe a tissue engineering based strategy to enhance long-term bone formation in the femoral neck of osteoporotic rats by locally delivering bioactive molec

Neglected tropical diseases affect most of the underprivileged populations in tropical countries. Among these are chagas and leishmaniasis, present mainly in South and Central America, Africa and East Asia. Current treatments are long and have severe adverse effects, therefore there is a strong need to develop alternatives. In this study, we base our research on the plant metabolite pulchrol, a na

PURPOSE: To explore the frequency and outcomes of cataract surgery in eyes with previous vitrectomy. SETTING: Fifteen European countries. DESIGN: Retrospective cross-sectional register-based study. METHODS: The European Registry of Quality Outcomes of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (EUREQUO) contains data on baseline characteristics, surgery, and follow-up for cataract surgeries. Previous vitrect

Core-shell nanowires (NWs) with asymmetric shells allow for strain engineering of NW properties because of the bending resulting from the lattice mismatch between core and shell material. The bending of NWs can be readily observed by electron microscopy. Using X-ray diffraction analysis with a micro- and nano-focused beam, the bending radii found by the microscopic investigations are confirmed and

Resultat av försök som utfördes under oktober-november 1996 med elektroporering av senapsfrön i olika förbehandlingsmedier. Fröernas groning försämras med ökad koncentration av kalciumjoner i förbehandlingsmediet. Ju högre nivå av CaCI2, desto högre känslighet för elektroporering.

A general goal in community ecology and evolutionary biology is to understand how diversity has arisen. In our attempts to reach such goals we become increasingly aware of interacting ecological and evolutionary processes shaping biodiversity. Ecological opportunity and adaptive radiations can, for example, drive diversification in competitive communities but little is known about how such process

This study aims to enhance our understanding of organizational identity work (OIW), building upon previous studies’ emphasis on the usefulness of understanding OIW in terms of storytelling. The paper offers an extended vocabulary for making sense of alternative narration forms. Based on an in-depth study of a humanitarian organization in Sweden, the discursive OIW struggles of employees in times o

Blickens kreativitet står i fokus i doktorsavhandlingen Pippi mellan världar (2020). Här introducerar jag nymaterialistiska tankegångar i en bildretorisk studie. Jag betonar särskilt lyssnarens/betraktarens egen medskapande roll när hon kreativt orienterar sig i sin omvärld. Med exempel hämtade ur svenska och tyska bokutgåvor visar jag hur bokillustrationer och pärmbilder framhäver det lekfullt no

We consider the problem of distributed decision making in a quadratic game between a team of players and nature. Each player has limited information that could be different from the other players in the team. We show that if there is a solution to the minimax team problem, then the linear policies are optimal, and we show how to find the linear optimal solution by solving a linear matrix inequalit

An H∞ control system is considered with the constraint that process disturbances and measurement noise cannot both be large. It is unnatural to couple process disturbance and measurement noise in this way. It is better to assume that some signals are stochastic. Explicit formulas for the value of the game are determined.
