Nyligen lades ett lagförslag fram som föreslår att en ny paragraf ska införas i aktiebolagslagen som föreskriver att styrelseledamöterna i aktiemarknadsbolag och statligt helägda bolag ska vara representerade till minst fyrtio procent av vardera kön. Detta innebär att det genomsnittliga antalet kvinnliga styrelseledamöter i börsbolagen måste höjas med 8 procentenheter från nuvarande 32 procent. OmA legislative proposal suggesting that a new article is introduced in the Swedish Companies Act which states that the boards of directors of certain public companies and all wholly-owned government companies should consist of at least 40 percent of each gender was recently launched in Sweden. This means that the average number of female directors of the public companies needs to increase by 8 perc

Problem: Green-green businesses face more challenges than conventional businesses; however, the research surrounding their challenges is rather limited. The role that values play for the ecopreneurs and how these influence the way that they run their businesses is a neglected field of research. Purpose: Our research aims to explore the role that values play for ecopreneurs in making business-relat

Object and surface reconstruction in 3D is commonly used in production tolerance validation. Depending on the required level of accuracy, a multitude of different methods are available, each with their own advantages and disadvantages. This thesis aims to investigate alternative surface reconstruction methods which utilise that all possible light paths are known along a given one-dimensional cur

Mexico City’s water system is not sustainable. There is an unfair inequality gap in the quantity and quality of water access for its residents. Moreover, the groundwater aquifers in the city are being over-exploited and polluted. This has resulted in the sinking of the city, damage to the ecosystems, and the reduction of water access to Mexico City’s residents. As the policies are a direct instrum

In recent years, the field of mass spectrometry (MS) has grown significantly, allowing for shotgun proteomic experiments to be used increasingly in biomarker discovery experiments. However, using standard methods of MS not all peptides present in a sample may be identified. To combat this, a procedure termed alignment, or match-between-runs, is used to propagate identifications from one run to ano

Introduction: Cytostatic pharmaceuticals are increasingly detected in the aquatic environment, raising concerns due to their persistence and toxicity. Background: Conventional wastewater treatment processes do not effectively remove these compounds. Advanced oxidation processes, such as ozonation, are needed to degrade cytostatic pharmaceuticals during wastewater treatment. However, these process

AbstractBackgroundThe role of nutrient intake in celiac disease pathogenesis is poorly understood.ObjectiveTo examine whether longitudinal childhood intake of selected vitamins and minerals is associated with celiac disease autoimmunity (CDA, primary outcome) and celiac disease (secondary outcome) in genetically at-risk children.MethodsA total of 6,520 HLA-conferred at-risk children in the observa

Introduction:Exclusive breastfeeding (EB) is globally recommended due to health benefits for women and their infants. Home-based postnatal midwifery care (HBPMC) is a model of care where midwives give in-home care during the first postnatal week. The study objectives were to investigate breastfeeding outcomes at two months after birth, in women and newborns receiving HBPMC, and to identify risk fa

Objective: To describe the normal heart rate (HR) of healthy newborns ≥35+0 weeks’ gestation in the first 10 min after caesarean delivery (CD) with extrauterine placental transfusion, using dry-electrode ECG (NeoBeat). Design: Single-centre, prospective observational study. Setting: Norwegian County Hospital. Patients: Newborns ≥35+0 weeks’ gestation delivered by CD under regional anaesthesia were

INTRODUCTION: Cognitive impairment is common in parkinsonian disorders, but its extent among older adults with subtle motor abnormalities without a diagnosed movement disorder remains unclear. We examined cognitive decline, domain-specific cognitive function and incident dementia in older adults with subthreshold parkinsonism and parkinsonism (primary analysis). Sensitivity analyses were repeated

This diploma work has shown that it is possible to generate engineered stainless steel nanoparticles using a spark discharge generator (SDG) with a selectable size in the size range 20-70 nm in diameter. The generated particles have similar composition as the electrodes used, although further studies are needed to verify if this is true for all particles generated. If this is true, it would be pos

Chronic wounds are an emerging healthcare issue and current methods of healing chronic wounds address bacteria but are ineffective against resistant bacteria and the biofilm formation commonly observed in these wounds. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) derived from the endogenous wound healing system have been shown to combat bacterial infections, exhibit immunomodulatory effects, as well as improvi

The food waste created in Swedish commercial kitchens presents a difficult logistical and environmental problem for local governments. Today all the food waste is collected separately and recycled organically to create biogas, an energy-rich fuel that can be used for both industrial and domestic applications. To mitigate the logistical and sanitary issues associated with large amounts of organic w

Popular Abstract in Swedish Blommor använder färg och doft för att locka till sig pollinatörer. Hur använder sig svärmare av dessa olika signaler för att hitta blomman? För att få svar på denna fråga undersöktes två arter av svärmare, en dagaktiv, Macroglossum stellatarum, och en nattaktiv, Deilephila elpenor. Båda arterna har färgseende och den nattaktiva svärmaren kan skilja på olika färger äveFlowers use different cues to attract pollinators including colour and odour. How do hawkmoths use these cues to find the flowers? This question was investigated in two species of hawkmoth, the diurnal species, Macroglossum stellatarum, and the nocturnal species, Deilephila elpenor. Both species have colour vision and D. elpenor can discriminate colours under very dim light intensities. Both speci

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen utgörs av studier av smärtupplevelse i olika befolkningsgrupper. I fokus för analyserna står smärtans totala utbredning. Ett beteendepsykolo-giskt perspektiv har applicerats på psykosociala aspekter av betydelse för att hantera den kroniska smärtan. Alla studier har genomförts på urval av Malmöbefolkningen. Bakgrund.

The solution is beyond the scope of biomedicine, but the problem could well be analyzed in the complementary, cognitive-behavior psychological frame of reference. In order to better prevent the development of pain-related dysfunction: The sociodemographic milieu of dysfunctional chronic pain patients was examined

Popular Abstract in Swedish Svenska knäplastikregistret och knäledsoperation med enkammarprotes av Stefan Lewold Ledsjukdom, oftast artros, är den vanligaste kroniska åkomman hos äldre. Dess orsak är oftast inte känd och någon förebyggande behandling finns inte. Icke operativ behandling kan i tidiga stadier dämpa symptomen men då sjukdomen fortskrider får patienten allt svårare att klara sig. GenThe Swedish Knee Arthroplasty study has prospectively registered and followed knee arthroplasties done in Sweden since 1976. Demography, epidemiology and general knee prosthetic biofunction is given for 30,003 primary knee arthro-plasties and their revisions through 1992. The annual number of knee arthroplasties increased fourth fold while the relative use of Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UK

The protein folding problem is addressed focussing on the hydro- phobicity patterns in the amino acid sequences and structures. Both real and model proteins are investigated. The hydrophobicity pattern of real proteins is probed in two ways. First, it is asked which binary pattern is most conserved within groups of related proteins. Not unexpectedly, the most conserved patterns are strongly corre
