We revisit the question how inward FDI and multinational ownership affect relative labor demand. Motivated by the recent literature that distinguish between skills and tasks, we argue that the impact of multinational and foreign ownership on the demand for labor is better captured by focusing on job tasks rather than education. We use Swedish matched employer-employee data and find that changes of

Popular Abstract in Swedish Internationalisering av högre utbildning beskrivs i första delen av avhandlingen i ett vidare perspektiv, flera olika forskningstraditioner som berör högre utbildning och internationalisering beskrivs i syfte att utgöra en bakgrund för argument som framhåller ett pedagogiskt och didaktiskt perspektiv som väsentligt i samband med utveckling och konkretisering av en interThe development of higher education in the Western countries involves ideas of internationalisation, included in curricular objectives. Policy-makers stipulate internationalisation ideologies, from a politico-economic perspective, where ideas about flows of various cultural elements are incorporated in visionary idealistic terms. Nevertheless teachers and students and others concerned with higher
Popular Abstract in Swedish Människans immunsystem utgörs av en komplex sammansättning av celler och molekyler, som interagerar med varandra men även med kroppens övriga vävnader. Dess huvudsakliga uppgift är att förse sin värd med ett försvar mot yttre och inre förhållanden, som kan orsaka denna skada, t.ex. bakterie- och virusinfektioner eller betingelser för utveckling av cancer. Denna försvarsThis thesis is based upon four original papers in which human dendritic cells (DCs) and B cells have been analyzed in terms of how they influence the character of adaptive immune responses. DCs isolated from human tonsils were found to possess a capacity to directly regulate proliferation, isotype switching, and antibody production in B cells. DC-produced cytokines, including IL-13, were identifie
In vitro studies have revealed intriguing properties of parallel fiber synaptic transmisson. Most notably, these synapses have been shown to induce highly variable synaptic responses, have a pronounced paired pulse facilitation and to induce later, variable synaptic responses in their target neurons. In the present study, whole cell recordings from stellate cells and basket cells were made to eval
The sensory axons of the adult mouse sciatic nerve were shown to regenerate after a local test crush lesion in vitro in a serum-free medium. The average outgrowth distance of the leading axons after culturing for 3 days was 2.8 ± 0.1 mm, which was shorter than in vivo (3.8 ± 0.2 mm). With the use of a compartmentalised culture system we could show that regeneration was partially dependent on local
Background: Breathlessness is a cardinal symptom of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Long-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) is given to improve survival time in people with COPD and severe chronic hypoxaemia at rest. The efficacy of oxygen therapy for breathlessness and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in people with COPD and mild or no hypoxaemia who do not meet the criteria for LTOT
This chapter sketches some of the societal dynamics that Gezi protests have expressed and the ways in which they constitute a significant departure from both the conceptualization and practice of politics in contemporary Turkey, through an interrogation of the politics of space that has occupied center stage in the protests.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det endoplasmatiska retiklet (ER) är nödvändigt för proteinsyntes och posttranslationell proteinmodifiering. ER är också iblandat i cellstress och utgör den största intracellulära kalciumkällan i nervceller. Neuronalt ER bildar ett kontinuerligt nätverk som består av dels rörliknande förbindelser (tubules) och större cisterner. Att nätverket utgör en kontinuerlig lumen The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is crucial for protein synthesis and protein maturation, is involved in cell stress and serves in neurons as the major intracellular Ca2+ store. Neuronal ER forms a continuous network of cisterns and tubules extending from soma to a subset of dendritic spines. The continuity of ER structure is important for maintaining ER basic functions and necessary for proteins an
E-mail som kommunikationsverktyg är en given förutsättning för många av oss idag. På företag, i vardagen och på skolor runt om i Sverige och Europa skickar vi och tar emot e-mail dagligen. Den stora frågan är dock hur vi reagerar på att få information via e-mail och hur vi tolkar andra individers ord. Det skrivna ordet har och kommer alltid vara öppet för tolkning, men forskarna börjar nu peka på
Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie har varit att beskriva psykoterapeuters upplevelser av ordlöshet i mötet med patienter, här barn eller ungdomar och om och i så fall hur teori kan vara till hjälp i själva mötet. Studien har genomförts utifrån ett fenomenologiskt – hermeneutiskt perspektiv och en icke-verbal, konstnärlig undersökningsmetod, s k ”art-based inquiry” har använts i kombination med iThe purpose of this qualitative study was to explore psychotherapist´s experiences of being in a therapeutic relationship with a patient, a child or an adolescent “when words are not enough” and if and how theory could be supportive in the specific situation. The study has applied a qualitative method combining phenomenological and hermeneutic perspectives and a non-verbal, art-based method, ‘art-
Nyttig last är en last som används vid dimensionering av byggnader, och innefattar vikten från människor, fordon och inredning. Den nyttiga lasten brukar delas in i ihållande last samt periodisk last. Till den ihållande lasten ingår lasten som belastar byggnaden vid normalt användande. Mindre ändringar av denna last sker på daglig basis, men större ändringar av lasten sker undantagsvis och är oftaImposed load is a load used in the design of buildings, and includes the weight of people, vehicles and interior. The imposed load is usually divided into sustained load and intermittent load. The sustained load is the load a building is exposed to during normal circumstances. Minor changes of this load occur on a daily basis, but major changes of the load occur seldom and are often related to cha
With time, the race among countries to reduce gender inequality has resulted in a worldwide reduction in gender discrimination. However, all regions have not performed equally; lagging behind most is the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Many potential reasons have been put forward, but in recent times the most discussed sources of this disparity have been the region’s religion and oil d
The unloading modulus, together with the permeability, are responsible for the swelling process of a soil that is subjected to unloading. Studies to examine the unloading modulus of clay has previously been performed and several relationships describing this parameter has hence been developed. The methods to study the unloading modulus has previously been both laboratory studies and field measurem
Prior articles and reports have named Credit Default Swap (CDS) spreads as a plausible indicator of default risk. In this report, the authors present a significant correlation between CDS spreads and two other more acknowledged methods of measuring default risk probabilities; the modified Merton model and credit ratings from the rating institute Moody’s. The tests are implemented by Spearman’s ran
Abstract Toxic cyanobacterial blooms can form in both freshwater and marine environments, which could threaten the health of human beings and animals. The genera that are known for causing the scums in freshwater are Anabaena, Microcystis, Cylindrospermopsis and Planktothrix. In order to control lake water quality and minimize the potential health risk associated with the cyanobacterial blooms, th
This paper describes the development of software for calculating third party risk in the vicinity of Swedish airports. The paper describes the development and functionality of the software in text format. Further development is discussed by the possible implementation of the lasso method for investigating aircraft specific risk factors. This paper investigates these risk factors to identify airpor
