Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Sweden is a multicultural country in which about 20 percent of the population has a foreign background. People who belong to different population groups live here and have diverse cultural backgrounds and lifestyles. This means that the Swedish tourism and hospitality industry today communicates with a very diversified Swedish target group.This report, which is the result of a commissioned research project for Visit Sweden, is thus aimed at you who want to understand this growing target group. The study sheds light on Swedes with a foreign background in tourism consumption in Sweden by examining the segment's knowledge of Swedish destinations, sources for travel inspiration, travel reasons and obstacles to vacationing more in Sweden. The study shows that the foreign background is less important for tourism consumption compared with socioeconomics, level of education and establishment in the labor market. However, the segment is very heterogeneous and that there are few reasons to treat people with this background as a segment. Therefore, the report offers nuances about the segment people with foreign background, rather than general conclusions. The report also contributes with increased knowledge of how the Swedish tourism and hospitality industry can form offers to this target group. Inclusive communication is presented at one of several paths to improve communication, with swedes with foreign background.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In flow cytometry, individual cells are investigated. Platelet activation is normally reported in form of percentage of platelets expressing the marker (positive platelets) and/or mean/median fluorescence intensity (MFI) for the entire analyzed population. None of these take into account the variance of the marker expression between individual platelets. This can be obtained as data on coefficient of variation (CV). This study explores if CV provides additional information regarding platelet function. Samples from platelet concentrates (PCs) prepared by apheresis- (n = 13) and interim platelet unit (IPU) technique (n = 26) and stored for 6-7 days were included and compared. Spontaneous- and agonist-induced expression of activation markers (fibrinogen binding and exposure of P-selectin, LAMP-1, and CD63) was investigated as percentage positive platelets, MFI and CV. Spontaneous expression of P-selectin as percentage positive platelets and MFI was higher for IPU PCs than apheresis PCs, which in contrast had higher agonist-induced activation. CV for spontaneous fibrinogen binding and P-selectin exposure was larger for apheresis PCs, while IPU PCs generally had larger CV for P-selectin, LAMP-1, and CD63 after agonist stimulation. Our findings show that CV adds additional information when assessing platelet activation by providing data on the variation in activation responses within the platelet population.
