Businesses today need to recognize that they have to be fast at realizing and exploiting new competitive advantages before the opportunity is lost. Instead of the traditional focus on price and quality, there is a shift towards the delivery of value to customers. This is strongly connected to the reduction of downtime of production and high reliability. Here the spare parts supply chain plays an i
IMPORTANCE: The outcomes of newborn infants of women testing positive for SARS-CoV-2 in pregnancy is unclear.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate neonatal outcomes in relation to maternal SARS-CoV-2 test positivity in pregnancy.DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Nationwide, prospective cohort study based on linkage of the Swedish Pregnancy Register, the Neonatal Quality Register, and the Register for Communicab
The purpose of the numerical study was to investigate the influence of three different natural gas compositions on the combustion behaviour of an Advanced Environmental Vortex (AEV) burner. The flow conditions apply to the AEV burners installed in the Siemens gas turbine SGT-800. Numerical simulations were carried out using the software Chemkin 4. Ignition temperatures, adiabatic flame temper
Citylogistik kan användas för att minska den negativa miljöpåverkan i stadskärnor. Genom olika åtgärder i form av t.ex. samordnad distribution, miljözoner och tidsregleringar kan körsträckor och antalet fordon minskas. Helsingborg har idag ett bra miljöarbete i form av tidsreglerade transporter och en miljözon vilket kan ses som bra komplement. Vår rekommendation är att stadsförnyelseprojekt och d
Huvudregeln i svensk rätt är att brottmål ska avgöras i domstol och att domen ska grundas på det material som framkommer under huvudförhandlingen. Genom reformen om en modern rättegång som genomfördes 2008 infördes en möjlighet att avgöra bötesmål på handlingarna, det vill säga utan att hålla huvudförhandling. Syftet var att göra det processuella regelverket mer flexibelt så att handläggningen kunThe general rule in Swedish law is that criminal cases should be determined in court and the sentence should be based on the material that is presented during the main hearing. In 2008, the reform of a modern trial was introduced. Thereby, cases can be decided without a main hearing in situations where there is no reason to impose a sanction other than a fine. The aim was to make the legal framew
Denna randomiserade och replikerade studies syfte var att undersöka hälsoeffekter av 15 minuters daglig träning i medveten närvaro och tillämpad avslappning. Hälsoeffekterna mättes med skalor som skattar medveten närvaro, ohälsa, positiva och negativa affekter, livstillfredsställelse och välbefinnande. Undersökningen utfördes under 30 dagar med 234 deltagare i tre randomiserade grupper. Utan teoreThe purpose of this randomized and replicated study was to investigate the health effects of 15 minutes of daily training in mindfulness or applied relaxation. The health effects were measured by scales that assess mindfulness, health, positive and negative affects, life satisfaction and psychological wellbeing. The training period was 30 days and 234 persons participated in three randomly assigne
The introduction of new farming technologies, such as high-yielding varieties, has for long been regarded as one of the best strategies to increase agricultural production, and to combat poverty and food-insecurity. Since around 2005, New Rice for Africa (Nerica) is one of the main development strategies for combating such issues in Sierra Leone, and in many other African countries. Africa Rice Ce
Innovation is the source of new products and processes that expand the frontiers of competition. Advancements in technology are continuously occurring throughout the world as firms seek to develop new ideas for their products, services and markets. Most technology licensing is pro-competitive and should be encouraged by competition authorities. Nevertheless, in legal and economic spheres the conne
Information technology is in common use in our society and has affected government offices around the world and in Sweden as well. This has created a whole new form of administration that uses computerised aid in handling areas that generate a big amount of cases. Earlier examples of this within the Swedish administration is the tax authority's tax return through the Internet or by SMS and the
Research aim and questions: The aim of this research is to investigate the way Radio Free Europe’s Romanian Language Service presented the events of December 1989 in Romania. Since Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty was one of the most important international broadcasting institutions during the Cold War, it is relevant to see what kind of interpretation was assigned to Romania’s 1989 political and
Since the Chinese economy’s reform in 1980, it has been attracting enormous foreign investments. Many Swedish firms from different sectors such as technology, manufactory production, consumer, service industries and so on, had started their investments in China. China has become the first choice for global manufacturing due to the huge market, continuous economic growth, stable political situation
This thesis provides knowledge of occupational engagement in day centres for people with psychiatric disabilities and contributes to measurement development in the area of occupational engagement. The first study focused on the characteristics of the occupations carried out at the day centre by exploring occupational engagement using time-use diaries with a person-environment-occupation perspectiv
Objectives:The aim of this study was to examine the variation of enterolactone from fasting and non-fasting blood of middle-aged healthy women eating a normal diet to determine the usefulness of a single sample in epidemiological studies.Subjects and methods:Twenty-six women born between 1940 and 1950 were recruited within the Malmo Diet and Cancer cohort. Three non-fasting and two overnight fasti
Intensive agricultural practices can dramatically change the landscape, thereby increasing the concentrations and rates at which nutrients are delivered to aquatic ecosystems. In the United States, concerns about accelerating rates of lake eutrophication related to increases in nutrient loading require a method of quantifying ecological changes that have occurred since European settlement. Because
A novel method for lactose determination in milk is proposed. It is based on oxidation of lactose by cellobiose dehydrogenase (CDH) from the basidiomycete Phanerochaete chrysosporium, immobilised in an enzyme reactor. The reactor was prepared by cross-linking CDH onto aminopropyl-silanised controlled pore glass (CPG) beads using glutaraldehyde. The combined biosensor worked in flow injection analy
Surgical staff is considered to have several ergonomic risk factors, but their physical workload and musculoskeletal health have seldom been evaluated. Clinical examinations of neck and upper extremities were performed in 99 theatre nurses and 93 assisting nurses, all females. Their physical workload was assessed by questionnaire, and by technical measurements of postures, movements and muscular l
This paper reports on a numerical study of the thermodynamic and basic combustion characteristics of oxy-fuel combustion in gas turbine related conditions using detailed chemical kinetic and thermodynamic calculations. The oxy-fuels considered are mixtures of CH4, O-2, CO2 and H2O, representing natural gas combustion under nitrogen free gas turbine conditions. The GRI Mech 3.0 chemical kinetic mec
Soil pH is one of the most influential variables in soil, and is a powerful factor in influencing the size, activity and community structure of the soil microbial community. It was previously shown in a century old artificial pH gradient in an arable soil (pH 4.0-8.3) that bacterial growth is positively related to pH, while fungal growth increases with decreasing pH. In an attempt to elucidate som
