- New product development in a globalized industrial environment with a constant increasing competition, challenges the ways to perform production start-up and production relocation. A product development process focuses in general on product function and to avoid product quality problems. A production relocation focus also on avoiding product quality problems, but relocation is mostly related to forgotten or misunderstood information. The challenging situation due to a more global market is the increasing need for production relocation. In this paper, a literature review is performed investigating these three areas and relate them with industrial experience from production relocations. To summaries, the existing processes in industry today seem to be based on processes for product development. The results view that effectiveness in production relocation are dependent on technology and knowledge transfer and the production start-up process.

- To examine the effect of work-related stress and road noise exposure on self-rated sleep and potential additive interaction effects.Sleep and predictor variables were surveyed within two subsamples with 2191 and 1764 working women in a cross-sectional study. Sleep was assessed using a single question on general sleep quality and four questions on specific sleep problems and subsequently dichotomized (poor sleep vs. no poor sleep). Work-related stress was operationalized by job strain and effort-reward imbalance. Nocturnal exposure to road traffic noise was assessed as (a) the orientation of the bedroom window to a quiet façade vs. a low-, medium- or high-trafficked street and (b) energy-equivalent sound pressure levels for night-time modelled at the most exposed façade (Lnight). We distinguished between low (<45dB(A)), medium (45-50dB(A)) and high exposure (>50dB(A)).Poor sleep was associated with job strain and effort-reward imbalance. The prevalence of poor sleep did not increase with increasing Lnight, but bedroom window orientation showed a non-significant trend. A quiet façade had a protective effect on sleep in each Lnight category. We found a non-significant trend for an additive interaction between bedroom window orientation and job strain.Noise levels modelled for the most exposed façade likely overestimate the actual exposure and thus may not be a precise predictor of poor sleep. Bedroom window orientation seems more relevant. Potential additive interaction effects between bedroom window orientation and job strain should be considered when interpreting epidemiological study results on noise-induced sleep disturbances.

- Aim: This study aimed to explain the relationship between visual-motor integration (VMI) abilities and extremely preterm (EPT) birth, by exploring the influence of perinatal variables, cognition, manual dexterity and ophthalmological outcomes. Methods: This was part of the population-based national Extremely Preterm Infant Study in Sweden (EXPRESS) study. We studied 355 children, born at a gestational age of <27 weeks from April 2004 to March 2007, and 364 term-born controls. At six-and-a-half years of age, we assessed VMI, cognitive function, motor skills and vision. VMI impairment was classified as <-1 standard deviation (SD). Results: The mean (SD) VMI score was 87 (+/- 12) in preterm children compared to 98 (+/- 11) in controls (p < 0.001). VMI impairment was present in 55% of preterm infants and in 78% of children born at 22-23 weeks. Male sex and postnatal steroids showed a weak association with poorer visual-motor performance, whereas low manual dexterity and cognitive function showed a stronger association. Conclusion: Poor VMI performance was common in this EXPRESS cohort of children born EPT. Its strong association to cognition and manual dexterity confirms that all of these factors need to be taken into account when evaluating risks in preterm born children.

What are the differences between related offset and outsourcing? : A case study of a related offset business at Saab

- Recently, offset contracts have become more complex. For the seller to carry through and review the effects and the demands of an offset contract, they need a framework.The paper identifies five main differences between outsourcing and related offset, which are translated into activities to be included in a suggested related offset framework. The paper is based on an in-depth case study of a related offset business at Saab, a Swedish military aircraft producer. The analysis compared the studied case with an existing outsourcing process identified in literature. The paper contributes by providing an overview of the activities taking place during a related offset process and showing the effect of the different hierarchical levels involved in the process on the efficiency of the fulfilment of the offset business. This paper is based on a single case study, and the suggested differences should be verified through further case studies.

Tissue Response to Subcutaneously Implanted Recombinant Spider Silk : An in Vivo Study
- 2009

- Spider silk is an interesting biomaterial for medical applications. Recently, a method for production of recombinant spider silk protein (4RepCT) that forms macroscopic fibres in physiological solution was developed. Herein, 4RepCT and MersilkTM (control) fibres were implanted subcutaneously in rats for seven days, without any negative systemic or local reactions. The tissue response, characterised by infiltration of macrophages and multinucleated cells, was similar with both fibres, while only the 4RepCT-fibres supported ingrowth of fibroblasts and newly formed capillaries. This in vivo study indicates that 4RepCT-fibres are well tolerated and could be used for medical applications, e.g., tissue engineering.

Kunskapsagenda för hållbar stadsutveckling
- 2015
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Under 2015 har Stockholm, Göteborg och Malmö samlats kring att ta fram en gemensam beskrivning av utmaningar och kunskapsbehov inom stadsutveckling. Syftet är att stödja och stärka städernas dialog med nationella och regionala forskningsaktörer, såväl myndigheter och forskningsfinansiärer som universitet, högskolor och institut. De behöver med samlad kraft kunna möta den nationella nivån avseende storstädernas behov och utmaningar inom stadsutveckling. Kunskapsagendan ligger tillgrund för forskningspolitiska inspel och främja gemensamma satsningar och prioriteringar mellan städerna. Arbetet är ett bidrag till att etablera ett svenskt styrkeområde inom urbanforskning och stadsutveckling.För att ta fram bakgrundsmaterial till en kunskapsagenda för hållbar stadsutveckling har en studie genomförts av vilka samhällsförändringar som de tre svenska storstadskommunerna ser i förhållande till hållbar stadsutveckling och vilka strategier de arbetar med för att möta dessa utmaningar. Underlaget har tagits fram genom studier av kommunala strategi- ochpolicydokument och bearbetats i workshopar i de tre städerna. Arbetet med agendan har samlat högre tjänstemän i samtliga tre städer och forskare som är engagerade i samverkan med dessa kommuner.Den inledande delen av agendan beskriver stadens roll som kunskapsaktör och lyfter ett antal erfarenheter och rekommendationer för forskning i samverkan.Därefter presenteras fyra samhällsförändringar. För att kunna möta dem, efterfrågar städerna kunskap och nyttiggörande av befintlig forskning som tydliggör relevansen för det svenska och kommunala sammanhanget. Dessa samhällsförändringar är 1) urbanisering, migration ochsegregation, 2) ekonomins omvandling, 3) social polarisering och sammanhållning samt 4)klimatförändringar.Sista delen belyser städernas strategiska arbete för hållbar stadsutveckling utifrån ett utvidgat kommunalt utvecklingsuppdrag. Det är till detta strategiska arbete som städerna i första hand själva vill fördela resurser för forskning och utveckling. Det strategiska arbetet beskrivs under följande rubriker 1) resurseffektivt och robust stadsbyggnad, med fokus på att bygga och planera staden, 2) stadens sociala och kulturella resurser, med fokus på att förvalta och främja den sociala dimensionen, och 3)governance – styrning i samverkan, med fokus på att hanteraoch utveckla gränssnittet mellan kommunen och andra aktörer.
