This chapter unpacks the complex and contested nature of ‘irregular labour migration’ and explores the meaning and analytical rigour of this conceptualisation. We discuss four social positions: 1) authorised migrant regular worker, 2) authorised migrant irregular worker, 3) unauthorised migrant irregular worker and 4) unauthorised migrant regular worker. Using the distinctions between informalisat
The term smart grid refers to an electrical grid system that incorporates a range of operating and energy initiatives including advanced metering, intelligent distribution boards and circuit breakers, load control switches and smart devices, and renewable energy resources. The incorporation of the internet of things (IoT) into the smart grid, called the internet of energy things-smart grid (IoET-S
ObjectivesBeing met with empathy increases information sharing, treatment coherence, and helps patients to recover faster. However, we do not know how the content of the conversation about disease progression, new treatments, or other issues concerning serious illness affects patients' perceptions of the physician's empathy, and thus, the quality of the conversation. This study aimed to test the h
A method that could assess the whole vehicle non-exhaust particle (NEP) emission from the whole vehicle level was proposed by combining sealed housing with the chassis dynamometer. The intake and exhaust systems were connected to the out of the chamber to avoid possible effects on NEP emissions. The most distinguishing feature of the proposed method is the whole vehicle assessment of the NEP. Base
The effects of operational and environmental variability have been posed as one of the biggest challenges to transit structural health monitoring (SHM) from research to practice. To deal with that, machine learning algorithms have been proposed to learn from experience based on a reference data set. These machine learning algorithms work well based on the premise that the basis of the reference da
The chapter discusses the importance of the EU continuing to promote improved living and working conditions for its citizens without simultaneously risking competition between workers from different member states. The problem discussion is based on the significance of social improvements for the EU to maintain support among citizens and the challenges that arise when EU law encounters the differen
X-ray ptychography is often implemented for nanoimaging at synchrotron radiation sources and extensions are being developed to make experiments faster. This work is on multi-beam ptychography with Fresnel zone plates that have a small lateral separation, enabling the imaging of an extended field of view without increasing exposure time. Sectional zone inversion is implemented for coding respective
The unique Swecrit Biobank and its associated clinical registries for sepsis, ARDS, cardiac arrest, trauma, and COVID-19 include more than 150,000 blood samples and descriptions of critically ill patients. These assets provide a unique opportunity to research and improve the care of the most seriously ill patients through biomarker analyses, proteomic studies, and genetic and epigenetic studies us
Test planning for core-based 3D stacked ICs under power constraint is different from test planning for non-stacked ICs as the same test schedule cannot be applied both at wafer sort and package test. In this paper, we assume a test flow where each chip is tested individually at wafer sort and jointly at package test. We define cost functions and test planning optimization algorithms for non-stacke
The present paper reviews studies carried out by the Bandim Health Project during the armed conflict in Guinea-Bissau, 1998-1999. Common health interventions like vaccination and breastfeeding, as well as focused interventions such as nutrition interventions aimed at malnourished children are effective measures. Population-based studies of health status gives important information about health con
Background:: Those who are seriously ill and facing death are often living with physical, emotional, social, and spiritual suffering. Teamwork is considered to be necessary to holistically meet the diverse needs of patients in palliative care. Reviews of studies regarding palliative care team outcomes have concluded that teams provide benefits, especially regarding pain and symptom management. Muc
Our knowledge of sports-related injuries in para-sport is limited and there are no data on how Paralympic athletes themselves perceive an injury. The aim of this qualitative study was to explore Paralympic athletes’ perceptions of their experiences of sports-related injuries, risk factors and preventive possibilities. Eighteen Swedish Paralympic athletes with vision impairment, intellectual impair
