In this publication we have assembled eight case studies and a ”national report” on Sweden that we wrote during 2005 as part of work commissioned by the European Foundation in Dublin. The Foundation had in the 1990’s and in the first years of the 21st century as one of its objectives to investigate the situation for older and ageing workers in Europe, and to develop policy initiatives on the level

A multi-lane traffic flow model based on stochastic noise driven dynamics is introduced and analyzed. The model employs conservative anisotropic Arrhenius spin-exchange (surfacediffusion) dynamics. We generate an asymmetric simple exclusion process to model vehicleinteractions. Vehicles react and advance based on the energy profile of their surrounding trafficthrough a novel look-ahead asymmetric

The paper presents sufficient and almost necessary conditions for the presence of periodic solutions for zero dynamics of virtually constrained under-actuated Euler-Lagrange system. This result is further extended to detect periodic solutions for a class of hybrid systems in the plane and analyze their orbital stability and instability. Illustrative examples are given.

Mismatch negativity (MMN) is an EEG voltage fluctuation caused by the brain's automatic reaction to unexpected changes in a repetitive stimulation. In an experiment we studied 68 infants of which 2/3 were born preterm. Due to noise of large amplitude, the MMN is difficult to detect in a single infant's EEG. Therefore grand average, which is a average of many subjects EEG recordings, is sometimes u

This paper describes the implementation and evaluation of a generic component to extract temporal information from texts in Swedish. It proceeds in two steps. The first step extracts time expressions and events, and generates a feature vector for each element it identifies. Using the vectors, the second step determines the temporal relations, possibly none, between the extracted events and orders

We present a method for the estimation of the distribution of the quasi-static hogging-bending moment for a floating body. Starting points of this study are temporal characteristics of the sea state. The approximation is deduced from the estimation of the joint distribution of crest amplitude and crest length. The quality of the model is investigated by comparing computed distributions with empiri

Abstract in UndeterminedThis study examined the relationship between speech recognition, working memory and conversational skills in a group of 13 children/adolescents with cochlear implants (CIs) between 11 and 19 years of age. Conversational skills were assessed in a referential communication task where the participants interacted with a hearing peer of the same age and gender. The measures were

Galectins form a family of structurally related carbohydrate binding proteins (lectins) that have been identified in a large variety of metazoan phyla. They are involved in many biological processes such as morphogenesis, control of cell death, immunological response, and cancer. To elucidate the evolutionary history of galectins and galectin-like proteins in chordates, we have exploited three ind

I takt med att Sverige strävar efter att uppnå klimatneutralitet har återvinning av schaktmassor fått ökad betydelse. Vikten av samordning mellan olika bygg- och anläggningsprojekt har lyfts för att öka den cirkulära masshanteringen. Lokalt belägna återvinningsanläggningar för massor har angetts som ett sätt att underlätta återvinningen av massor. Samtidigt upplevs lagstiftningen som reglerar olikThe management of excavated materials is becoming more important as Sweden works towards climate neutrality. Improved coordination between construction projects and the use of local recycling facilities are seen as key to enabling circular mass management. However, the legislation governing the establishment and operation of mass recycling facilities is perceived as unclear, particularly regarding

We present an approach to nanoscale-resolution high-sensitivity imaging of internal material structure under in situ/operando conditions for virtually any sample environment. When bulky or heavy sample environment is required state-of-the-art X-ray imaging techniques, such as scanning and full-field microscopy or holography fail to deliver high-resolution imaging capabilities due to either i) extr

Departure deviations from shunting yards impact the reliability of rail freight services and the punctuality of a railway network. Therefore, the statistical analysis of these deviations are necessary for improving the operation of trains in mixed-traffic networks. In our paper, we conduct a detailed statistical analysis of departure deviations considering individual shunting yards characteristics

Purpose/Objective(s): Over 30% of advanced prostate cancers harbor a predominance of neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) differentiation. Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) has numerous limitations in prostate adenocarcinoma (PCa-adeno), however there is no data that exists outside of isolated single person case reports to assess the utility of PET to restage and monitor

Engineering energy storage/extraction for geoenergy applications (e.g., geothermal energy extraction, CO2 and/or Hydrogen storage) requires a very good knowledge of subsurface heterogeneities. One of the principal factors that influences the response of the underground system is the continuously evolving pore networks of the targeted rocks. This work aims to understand the pore network of a natura

This literature review presents a summary of recent research about PM-less machines for electrical vehicles. Recently, IPM machines has proven to be very popular among electrical vehicle manufacturers. However, the neodymium permanent magnets being used are expensive and have a risk of rocketing the production cost of a machine if the price increases more. With this in mind, five PM-less machine t

The aim of the present doctoral thesis is to study and conceptualize juridification as a phenomenon. This aim comprises analyzing the theories through which juridification as an empirical development is interpreted. In this thesis juridification signifies displacements towards legal discourse. Juridification comes about when an issue that was previously dealt with within a cultural, ethical, polit
