Abstract in Spanish A pesar de que el mercado laboral sueco ha permanecido relativamente intacto durante la crisis económica en los últimos seis años, la integración de personas con capacidad laboral reducida a causa de discapacidades es significativamente menor que la de otros grupos sociales. La legislación sueca sobre discapacidad y trabajo cubre varios aspectos en medidas de integración, antidEven though the Swedish labour market has been more or less intact during the financial crisis in the past six years, persons with reduced working capacity due to disabilities are significantly less integrated in the labour market than other groups in society. Swedish legislation on disability and work provides for a number of different aspects of integrative measures, anti-discrimination and prov

Mikrolån och mikrofinanser har haft stor spridning sedan de först introducerades för cirka 30 år sedan. Många har sett detta som en stor succee och som ett viktigt steg i utrotningen av fattigdomen. Det har dock höjts kritiska röster mot att mikrofinanser och den ökade kommersialiseringen av mikrolån har skapat negativa konsekvenser. Parallellt med detta så har internettekniken utvecklats och numeMicrofinance has spread rapidly in the last thirty years and the wealth of microfinance organizations has increased rapidly. According to some this has been a major success and a breakthrough in poverty eradication, but other researchers has pointed to the low levels of actual development created by microfinance and to the potential of very negative side effects. These effects has according to man

The thesis starts with a description of the background to the change of the rules on deduction of VAT on mixed use immovable property through the insertion of Article 168a in the RVD. The reason according to the Amendment is to promote equity and to prevent unjustified cash-flow advantages granted to taxable persons who use acquire immovable property, deduct full input VAT and then pay it back o

In 1778, a large bronze bell was cast by royal bellfounder Michael Troschell in Copenhagen. Unlike most of his bells, which were destined for church towers, this one was sent to La Grange, the largest plantation on St. Croix in the Danish West Indies. The bell functioned as an instrument of discipline, structuring the workday for more than a thousand enslaved laborers. This paper explores the plan

Uppsatsen behandlar Internetkonsultbranschens utgallringsfas där företagen kämpar för sin överlevnad. Studien ser närmare på företaget Tromb Internet Solutions och fokuserar framförallt på dess interna och externa relationer. Uppsatsen tar sin utgångspunkt i Public Relationsteorin. Med hjälp av PR för att skapa kommunikation internt inom företaget, till partners och även till övriga intressenter.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur väl svenska börsbolag redovisar risker för att sedan utreda ifall det råder något samband mellan vilka företag som har bra respektive sämre redovisning av risker. Uppsatsen bygger på en innehållsanalys av årsredovisningarna från de 31 mest omsatta företagen på Stockholmsbörsen. Ett undersökningsformulär har utformats för att med ett kvantitativt angreppssä

Varje minuts fördröjning av hjärt-lungräddning minskar chansen till överlevnad med 10 procent, skriver åtta forskare vid Centrum för hjärtstopp vid Lunds universitet.Eight researchers at the Lund University Center for Cardiac Arrest write that every minute of delay in cardiopulmonary resuscitation reduces the chance of survival by 10 percent.

A wide variety of photoinduced electronic coherences are shown to be robust with respect to dephasing in ensembles of quasi-homodimers assembled with sub-nm ligands from colloidal 3 nm CdSe quantum dots (QDs) with controlled 9% size dispersion, both in solution and in solid-state. Coherence periods ranging from 40 to 300 fs are consistently characterized by multidimensional electronic spectroscopy

Background: Bioactive adrenomedullin (bio-ADM) is a vasoactive peptide with a key role in reducing vascular hyperpermeability and improving endothelial stability during infection, but it also has vasodilatory properties. Bioactive ADM has not been studied in conjunction with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), but it has recently been shown to correlate with outcomes after severe COVID-19.

Objective: To investigate long-term survival, neurologic outcome, and quality of life in patients with spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) treated with craniotomy and hematoma evacuation. Methods: A nationwide multicenter retrospective analysis of 341 patients who underwent craniotomy and evacuation of supratentorial ICH between January 1, 2011, and December 31, 2015, was per

BACKGROUND: The frequency of central venous catheter (CVC) related complications in hematological patients has previously been studied but some uncertainty remains. Therefore, this observational cohort study was designed primarily to investigate mechanical and infectious complications related to CVC insertion in hematological patients and secondarily, to identify factors associated with these comp

The Swedish public sector is facing great challenges in recruiting and retaining healthcare professionals, due to increasing sick leave numbers. The aim of this study was to describe Swedish occupational therapists’ occupational health in terms of risk factors in the social and organizational work environment, occupational balance, and work-related mental health problems. A web survey was emailed

BACKGROUND: Heparin-binding protein (HBP) is a neutrophil-derived pro-inflammatory protein, an inducer of endothelial dysfunction and vascular permeability and a promising prognostic biomarker in sepsis. This exploratory study aims to describe the kinetics of plasma HBP during septic shock and investigate an association between repeated measures of HBP concentration and cardiovascular organ dysfun

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is characterized by a differentiation block leading to accumulation of immature cells. Chromosomal translocations in AML affect transcription factors that are involved in regulation of myeloid differentiation. Aberrant expression of these factors interferes with differentiation events and has a role in the pathogenesis of AML through superactivation or (dominant negati

Introduction: Gender affirming surgery of primary and/or secondary sex characteristics has been shown to alleviate gender dysphoria. A descriptive snapshot of current treatment preferences is useful to understand the needs of the transgender population seeking health care. This study aimed to describe preferences for gender affirming treatment, and their correlates, among individuals seeking healt

Slope stability is an important aspect in the management of civil engineering projects. The stability of earth slopes is a significant concern for safety and the economy. There are several methods for finding the safety factor. Spencer's method is considered one of the most accurate methods for calculating the factor of safety but it depends on the others on dividing the slope geometry into the nu
