Naturalistic studies can potentially be used to detect accidents of vulnerable road users and thus overcome the large degree of under-reporting in the official accident records. In this study, simulated cycling and walking accidents were performed by a stuntman and with a crash test dummy to test how they differ from each other and the potential implications of using simulated accidents as an alte
Migration policies can have a strong impact on the selection of immigrants, who in turn can affect the host country’s innovation development. This paper examines the effects of the liberalization of migration on the skill composition of immigrants from the EU-15 to Sweden after the inception of the European Economic Area (EEA) in 1994. We examine its effect on immigrants’ education levels and prob
Changes in the vascular plant flora of Skåne after the latest published flora (Tyler et al. 2007) until 2015 are reported. 256 taxa are new, and 13 taxa that are new or were earlier regarded as ephemeral, are now regarded as resident. Localities of new taxa and of taxa which had 1–3 localities reported in the previous flora are also included. Redeterminations are included as well as a few cases ofChanges in the vascular plant flora of Skåne after the latest published flora (Tyler et al. 2007) until 2015 are reported. 256 taxa are new, and 13 taxa that are new or were earlier regarded as ephemeral, are now regarded as resident.

Background. Traditional crash-based analysis of road safety at individual sites has its shortcomings due to low numbers and the random nature of crashes at individual sites and the related statistical issues, as well as the under-reporting of crashes and lack of information on contributing factors and the process preceding crashes. To get around the problem, road safety analysis based on surrogateAbstract Background.

This paper explores the Swedish auxiliary orka and its English correspondences as reflected in English-Swedish parallel corpora. Orka is interesting from a contrastive perspective since it lacks a straightforward equivalent in English. We show that most of the English correspondences, both in the direction Swedish original to English translation and in the direction English original to Swedish tra
Background: Data commentary, in-text comments on the visual presentation of data, is acknowledged as a central aspect of academic writing in many engineering disciplines. At the same time, it is a feature that it has been shown to be challenging for students. One of the genres in which data commentary plays a significant role in many engineering disciplines is the master’s thesis. Comparatively li
Att en stor mängd köpta produkter returneras är ett problem som mångai handeln finner ekonomiskt ohållbart i längden. Dessvärre är kunskapsutvecklingenkring konsumentreturer och dess hanteringsprocess mycketbegränsad. Med detta som utgångspunkt är syftet med forskningsprojektetatt utveckla ny kunskap om hur konsumentreturer och desshanteringsprocess kan bidra till värdeskapande för e-handelsföreta
OBJECTIVE: To develop a new chronic RA model which is driven by the innate immune system.METHOD: The injection of a cocktail of four monoclonal antibodies against collagen type II followed by intra-peritoneal injections of mannan (from Saccharomyces cerevisiae) on days 5 and 60 led to the development of chronic arthritis in B10.Q mice. The role of the innate versus the adaptive immune system in th
Purpose: This paper aims to demonstrate the relevance of identifying lock-ins that characterise a service, showing how lock-ins or impediments reinforce the status quo and prevent change. It provides an understanding of the factors hindering the development of value co-creation in this service. Design/methodology/approach: The study is based on 19 semi-structured interviews with representatives of

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to analyse and discuss the potential of the service-dominant logic (SDL) as a tool for developing more effective public sector services in practice. Design/methodology/approach: One case concerning a public sector service organization has been studied – a contact centre in a Swedish municipality. The material consists of descriptions of managers’ and co-worker
