Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Organizations worldwide increasingly adopt inclusive talent management, and this approach appears to rhyme particularly well with the Nordic welfare model. Questions about its value remain understudied, however. The inclusive approach is rooted in positive psychology and focuses on recognizing each employee's individual talents and assessing whether they fit the long-term needs of the organization, since a fit is assumed to be associated with employees' wellbeing. In the present study, we test this assumption focusing specifically on a key talent management practice, talent identification, and the social dimension of employee wellbeing. Method: Data were collected through an employee survey conducted within the Finnish units of four international manufacturing organizations and analyzed using logistic regression (n = 618). Results: We found that the recognition of individual talents for long-term deployment by the organization is positively associated with social wellbeing in terms of supervisor support and social climate in the work unit, as perceived by the employees. Conclusion: Our results tentatively suggest that inclusive talent management creates value through the identification of employees' individual talents as this practice can be associated with their enhanced wellbeing.

Financial expert CEOs: CEO׳s work experience and firm׳s financial policies
- 2014

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We study CEOs with a career background in finance. Firms with financial expert CEOshold less cash, more debt, and engage in more share repurchases. Financial expert CEOs are more financially sophisticated: they are less likely to use one companywide discount rate instead of a project-specific one, they manage financial policies more actively, and their firm investments are less sensitive to cash flows. Financial expert CEOs are able to raise external funds even when credit conditions are tight, and they were more responsive to the dividend and capital gains tax cuts in 2003. Analyzing CEO-firm matching based on financial experience, we find that financial expert CEOs tend to be hired by more mature firms. Our results are consistent with employment histories of CEOs being relevant for corporate policies. However, we cannot formally rule out that our findings are partly explained by endogenous CEO-firm matching.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The first genome-wide association study performed in a UK coeliac disease (CD) case-control cohort revealed association with a linkage disequilibrium block containing the KIAA1109/Tenr/IL2/IL21 genes. Also recently, an association with a non-synonymous polymorphism in Fcitalic gammaRIIa (CD32a) was reported in CD with an unusually strong P-value. We aimed to replicate the reported associations with the single nucleotide polymorphisms rs13119723 A>G and rs6822844 G>T in the KIAA1109/Tenr/IL2/IL21 region and rs1801274 G>A in the Fcitalic gammaRIIa gene in a family sample consisting of 325 Swedish/Norwegian families using the robust transmission disequilibrium test. The family sample used in this study included 100 families with two or more children affected by CD and 225 families with one affected child. We could confirm significant association between the polymorphisms rs13119723 A>G and rs6822844 G>T located in the KIAA1109/Tenr/IL2/IL21 region and CD (P-value 0.001 and 0.002, respectively). However, we found no association with the Fcitalic gammaRIIa rs1801274 G>A polymorphism (P-value=0.3). In conclusion, our results support the KIAA1109/Tenr/IL2/IL21 region as a true CD susceptibility region.

Using Isopropanol as a Capping Agent in the Hydrothermal Liquefaction of Kraft Lignin in Near-Critical Water
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Energies. - : MDPI AG. - 1996-1073 .- 1996-1073. ; 14:4
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this study, Kraft lignin was depolymerised by hydrothermal liquefaction in near-critical water (290-335 degrees C, 250 bar) using Na2CO3 as an alkaline catalyst. Isopropanol was used as a co-solvent with the objective of investigating its capping effect and capability of reducing char formation. The resulting product, which was a mixture of an aqueous liquid, containing water-soluble organic compounds, and char, had a lower sulphur content than the Kraft lignin. Two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance studies of the organic precipitates of the aqueous phase and the char indicated that the major lignin bonds were broken. The high molar masses of the char and the water-soluble organics, nevertheless, indicate extensive repolymerisation of the organic constituents once they have been depolymerised from the lignin. With increasing temperature, the yield of char increased, although its molar mass decreased. The addition of isopropanol increased the yield of the water-soluble organic products and decreased the yield of the char as well as the molar masses of the products, which is indicative of a capping effect.

Colloquium : Spin-orbit effects in superconducting hybrid structures
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Reviews of Modern Physics. - 0034-6861 .- 1539-0756. ; 96:2

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) relates to the interaction between an electron’s motion and its spin and is ubiquitous in solid-state systems. Although the effect of SOC in normal-state phenomena has been extensively studied, its role in superconducting hybrid structures and devices elicits many unexplored questions. In conjunction with broken symmetries and material inhomogeneities within superconducting hybrid structures, SOC may have contributions beyond its effects in homogeneous materials. Notably, even with well-established magnetic or nonmagnetic materials and conventional ?-wave spin-singlet superconductors, SOC leads to emergent phenomena including equal-spin-triplet pairing and topological superconductivity (hosting Majorana states), a modified current-phase relationship in Josephson junctions, and nonreciprocal transport, including superconducting diode effects. SOC is also responsible for transforming quasiparticles in superconducting structures, which enhances the spin Hall effect and changes the spin dynamics. Taken together, SOC in superconducting hybrid structures and the potential for electric tuning of the SOC strength create interesting possibilities to advance superconducting spintronic devices for energy-efficient computing and enable topological fault-tolerant quantum computing. By providing a description of experimental techniques and theoretical methods to study SOC, this Colloquium describes the current understanding of resulting phenomena in superconducting structures and offers a framework to select and design a growing class of materials systems where SOC plays an important role.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Nonlinear devices, such as transistors, enable contemporary computing technologies. We theoretically investigate nonlinear effects, bearing a high fundamental scientific and technical relevance, in magnonics with emphasis on superconductor-ferromagnet hybrids. Accounting for a finite magnon chemical potential, we theoretically demonstrate magnonic spin Joule heating, the spin analog of conventional electronic Joule heating. Besides suggesting a key contribution to magnonic heat transport in a broad range of devices, it provides insights into the thermal physics of nonconserved bosonic excitations. Considering a spin-split superconductor self-consistently, we demonstrate its interface with a ferromagnetic insulator to harbor large tunability of spin and thermal conductances. We further demonstrate hysteretic rectification I-V characteristics in this hybrid, where the hysteresis results from the superconducting state bistability.

Arriving depleted after crossing of the Mediterranean: obligatory stopover patterns underline the importance of Mediterranean islands for migrating birds
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Animal Migration. - : Walter de Gruyter GmbH. - 2084-8838. ; 9:1, s. 27-36
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Hundreds of millions of birds reach the Mediterranean islands or Mediterranean coast of Europe every spring after having crossed the Sahara Desert and the Mediterranean Sea. Using data from three small insular stopover sites, we calculated body mass without fuel for 18 trans-Saharan passerine migrants. We subsequently used arrival fuel loads coupled with potential flight range estimates to assess the percentage of birds that are forced to perform an obligatory stopover after crossing the Mediterranean Sea due to fuel depletion. Average arrival fuel loads were among the lowest ever recorded in the Mediterranean region and minimum body mass values recorded for several species were lower than any other individual value reported. The percentage of birds that needed to replenish their energy stores before resuming their northward migration journey varied from 0% to 50% depending on the species and locality studied. Based on conservative estimates at least 180 million birds of our study species are expected to migrate through Greece, 14% of which would not be able to resume their migration without refueling. The significance of small islands and coastal sites in the Mediterranean as obligatory refuelling sites is discussed and their conservation value for migratory birds is highlighted under the perspective of climate change.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- In support of an online reactivity monitoring experiment, also presented in this conference, this work presents the reactivity calibration measurements performed with a pulsed neutron source in the coupled fast-thermal subcritical facility YALINA-Booster. These experiments reveal the complexity of experimentally obtaining a global reactivity from a highly heterogeneous core. Moreover, the effect of varying the source multiplication at constant reactivity on the area ratio technique is explored. It is found that the reactivity obtained with the area ratio technique carry strong spatial dependence, but it can be handled by calculated correction factors. On the other hand the method is showed not to be sensitive to changes in the source multiplication. It is also shown that the prompt neutron decay constant does not vary strongly over the core except at deep subcritical states.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Rotavirus gastroenterit is the most frequent cause of severe diarrhoea in children <5 years of age. Morbidity and resource use due to rotavirus are substantial, though comprehensive data on the economic impact of the disease in Sweden are lacking. The objective of this study was to estimate the average cost per episode of confirmed rotavirus gastroenteritis in primary care, emergency department and hospital settings in Sweden. The total societal cost (including direct medical, direct nonmedical and indirect cost) per episode was estimated to SEK4307 in the primary care setting, SEK5837 in the emergency department setting and to SEK19 456 in the hospital setting. Loss of productivity due to work absenteeism among parents was one of the major costs from a societal perspective. The result shows that rotavirus incurs considerable resource utilisation in all health care settings and substantial costs for the health care sector and the society.

Studies of the reactions between indole-2,3-diones (isatins) and 2-aminobenzylamine
- 2003

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Reflux of equimolecular amounts 2-aminobenzylamine and isatins in acetic acid produced indolo[3,2-c]quinolin-6-ones in good yields. A proposed mechanism involving initial formation of a spiro compound is given. This isolable intermediate subsequently rearranges via a sequential isocyanate ring opening and a cyclisation process to a urea derivative which finally cyclized to the indolo[3,2-c]quinolin-6-ones. The urea derivative could be prepared separately and cyclized selectively to indolo[3,2-c]quinolin-6-one. Reaction of N-acetylisatin with 2-aminobenzylamine at room temperature yielded the 1,4-benzodiazepinone 3-(2-acetamidophenyl)-1,5-dihydro-1,4-benzodiazepin-2one whereas its isomer 2(2-acetamidophenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1,4-benzodiazepin-3-one was obtained from 2-(2-acetylaminophenyl)-N-(2-aminobenzyl)-2-oxoacetamide in acetic acid at room temperature. The previously unknown linear isomer of indolo[3,2-c]quinolin-6-one, i.e. indolo[2,3-blquinolin-11-one, has been prepared by thermal (260degreesC) cyclization of methyl 2-phenylamino indole-3-carboxylate, which in turn was prepared in two steps from methyl indole-3-carboxyl ate.

Utilizing road weather information system (RWIS) data to improve response to adverse conditions
- 2001
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the conference Traffic Safety on Three Continents. - Linköping : Statens väg- och transportforskningsinstitut. ; , s. 97-109
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Adverse weather can significantly change the condition of the roadway within a short period of time, often with little or no warning to motorists or response personnel charged with protecting public safety. Traditional crash data is both aggregate and subjective in nature, limiting the ability to (1) accurately identify those weather conditions under which safety levels are minimized and (2) effectively guide crash-preventative response to adverse weather conditions (i.e., the dispatch of sand trucks or the dissemination of slippery condition warnings). The advent and expanded use of Road Weather Information Systems (RWIS) - capable of providing detailed numeric data related to roadway surface, air and dew temperature and wind speed in addition to categorical information such as the presence of precipitation, road surface condition, and wind direction - shows potential for improving the identification of weather-related factors contributing to low levels of safety and for improving guidance provided to response personnel during or preceding times of adverse weather. While demonstrating potential, this investigation revealed several significant issues associated with the use of RWIS data for improving adverse weather-related crash prediction and response: (1) the categorical nature of some RWIS-reported data elements limits its usefulness in guiding response actions, (2) RWIS data is limited in historical timeline and ease of accessibility, and (3) RWIS data are highly localized spatially (i.e., reporting the pavement surface status only at the location of the in-road sensor) which results in substantial discrepancies between officer-reported and RWIS-reported crash data.

Between Communication and Community : EU Constitution Making, a European Public Sphere and the (Un-)Likelihood of Transnational Debate
- 2009
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- What kind of public sphere is possible in the European Union? Against the backdrop of debates on the transformation of democracy beyond the nation-state, this study explores daily newspapers’ role in providing forums for transnational debate in the presumed absence of an overarching European collective identity. It uses empirical means to reconsider the question of the supposed co-constitutiveness of the public sphere and political community. In Habermasian discourse theory, the deliberative public sphere is thought to bridge gaps in social integration, while communitarians claim that normative debate can only draw on pre-existing communal values. But if the public sphere has a social integrative function, how can we then conceptualize the minimum level of social integration that allows individuals to initiate a deliberative search for solutions – in our case in the European Union? This study contends that efforts to conceptualize this minimum level of social integration as an “identity light” fail to distinguish clearly between the identity of the community (even in a thin form) and recognition of affected parties on a given issue. Drawing on social constructivism, constitutional patriotism and Deweyan pragmatism, the study argues that affectedness ultimately determines recognition of legitimate participants in any political debate. Yet affectedness is constructed in framing processes. On this basis, the study explores whether transnational debate hinges on daily newspapers' perspectives and preferences on European integration and EU democracy. Daily newspapers are here presented not only as important framers of public debate, but also as bearers of normative views regarding the level at which democratic opinion formation on European issues should take place. Do newspapers with a pronounced preference for more democracy beyond the nation-state play a more active role in providing forums for transnational debate? The empirical analysis of debates on EU constitution making indicates that newspaper framing and transnational engagement follow cross-national patterns linked to newspaper orientations. This empirical finding suggests that despite the presumed absence of a thick sense of European community, lively transnational debate is possible even in newspapers favoring intergovernmental integration. On the other hand, the empirical also indicates that the inclusion of non-domestic speakers as authors presents a challenge for a European public sphere understood as a shared communicative space.

Media Management and the hyperlocal sphere
- 2017
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This contribution will measure the acceptance of location based services (LBS) regarding one of two already chosen model regions of europe. it will reflect the chances for (regional based) media businesses to deal with increasing pressure arising from markets. Especially enterprises with content-driven business models will possibly be forced to integrate LBS to increase the value of communication measured by their recipients. Concerning media management, one could state an ongoing trend leading to detailed geo-tagged hyperlocalization (for both sides of two sided markets). There is great amount of research on the drivers of behavioral intention existing, one of the most prominent models is the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). This model is used as blueprint for the study integrating a quantitative online survey with quota sample.

- Contents The objective of this study was to investigate the presence and origin of polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMNLs) in the amniotic fluid of mares giving birth to healthy foals. Material from 25 mares was included. Amniotic fluid was collected during parturition before breakage of the amniotic vesicle. Manual microscopic cytologic evaluation was made on cytospin preparations after staining. PMNLs were found in all amniotic samples examined. The genomic DNA was extracted from 12 of the amniotic fluid samples and was genotyped. The results indicate that the PMNLs originate from the foetus.

The sensitive nature of facial recognition : Tensions between the Swedish police and regulatory authorities
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Information Polity. - 1570-1255. ; 27:2, s. 219-232
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Emerging technologies with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are laying the foundation for surveillance capabilities of a magnitude never seen before. This article focuses on facial recognition, now rapidly introduced in many police authorities around the world, with expectations of enhanced security but also subject to concerns related to privacy. The article examined a recent case where the Swedish police used the controversial facial recognition application Clearview AI, which led to a supervisory investigation that deemed the police's use of the technology illegitimate. Following research question guided the study: How do the trade-offs between privacy and security unfold in the police use of facial recognition technology? The study was designed as a qualitative document analysis of the institutional dialogue between the police and two regulatory authorities, theoretically we draw on technological affordance and legitimacy. The results show how the police's use of facial recognition gives rise to various tensions that force the police as well as policy makers to rethink and further articulate the meaning of privacy. By identifying these tensions, the article contributes with insights into various controversial legitimacy issues that may arise in the area of rules in connection with the availability and use of facial recognition.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Den ökande digitaliseringen i samhället och utvecklingen inom AI möjliggör kraftfull övervakning vi tidigare inte sett. Dessutom har både statliga och privata aktörer fått utökade befogenheter att använda övervakning. Detta motiveras av behovet av ökad effektivitet och säkerhet i samhället samtidigt som det väcker oro för att utvecklingen hotar grundläggande demokratiska rättigheter som integritet. Mot den här bakgrunden undersöker detta kapitel svenska medborgares inställning till olika aktörers användning av övervakning samt hur de uppfattar att deras integritet påverkas. Resultatet visar att medborgare är mer positivt inställda till övervakning som utförs av statliga aktörer jämfört med övervakning som utförs av privata aktörer och att medborgare inte verkar särskilt oroade över integritetsrisker i relation till brottsbekämpande myndigheters användning av övervakning.

Life Satisfaction and the Oldest-Old. Results from the longitudinal population study "Good Aging in Skåne".
- 2013
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The overall aim of this thesis was to study life satisfaction (LS) and factors associated to LS in the group aged 78 and above. As an aid in interpreting the findings, Baltes’ and Baltes’ theory of selective optimisation with compensation (SOC) was used. All four studies included the same studypopulation who were followed for three years in the study Good Aging in Skåne, a national, randomized, population-based study of the elderly. Neugartens’ life satisfaction index A (LSI-A) was the outcome variable in all four studies. In study I the aim was to examine what factors affect LS in the oldest-old in a multi disciplinal perspective. Health-related as well as psychological and socio-economical factors were included. In a logistic multiple regression model the number of symptoms, marital status, health locus of control (HLoC) internal and powerful others, depressive mood and age could predict LS three years later. Independence in functional ability was related to unchanged LS, stratified for age and gender during the 3-year follow-up. The clinical implementations were that recognizing and treating factors that affect LS and are reachable for intervention in this age-group should be highlighted in clinical practice. Relieving symptoms and paying attention to personality factors that modify LS seem to be key-factors in the care of elderly. Study II set out to describe the prevalence and experienced severity of symptoms and its’ relation to LS in the oldest-old. Scores on the LSI-A were related to scores on a modified version of the Göteborg QoL instrument, covering 32 common symptoms. The prevalence of symptoms was high: musculosceletal symptoms like pain were reported by 74%; 80% had depressive symptoms and 68 % general fatigue. Less than six percent of men and women reported no metabolic symptoms or symptoms related to the head. In a linear multiple regression model four groups of symptoms could predict LS three years later: depressive-, tensive-, GI-symptoms and musculoskeletal symptoms. The clinical implication of this study is that careful attention should be paid to the elderly patients’ description of his/her symptoms in the above areas since this could have the potential to increase the patients’ LS. In study III, we wanted to describe the change in functional ability (FA) in the oldest-old during three years and examine its relation to LS. FA was measured according to Hulter Åsbergs’ ADL-scale. The greatest decline in ADL was seen in the eldest group (87-93 years) in which 51% reported decline during the three years. The group that reported decline in I-ADL had a mean LSI-value of 23.0 compared to 26.4 in the group that was unchanged. A decline in ADL had a stronger negative effect on LS in the younger group. In a linear multiple regression model impairment of FA, depressive mood and the number of symptoms predicted lower LS after controlling for age. Being married and scoring higher on power and internal HLoC was associated with higher LS. The findings point to the importance of rehabilitation and training of this group not only for the purpose of physical restoration but also due to its potential to increase the LS of this population. If further research confirms that the association is not as 6 strong for the very oldest, then perhaps this needs consideration when planning rehabilitation and treatment for this group. Study IV set out to explore if cognitive abilities could predict LS three years later in the oldest-old. Correlations between 13 cognitive tests related to six different cognitive domains, and Neugartens’ LSI-A three years later were calculated for the whole sample as well as stratified for factors known to affect cognitive abilities; age, depressive mood, dementia, stroke, sex, education and functional capacity. A linear multiple regression model was constructed for each cognitive domain separately with LSI-A at re-examination as dependent variable. The models were adjusted stepwise for age, sex, education, functional ability and depressive mood. Processing speed (B=0.118, p=0.020) and spatial ability (B=0.453, p=0.014) remained significantly associated to LS after adjustment. Possible clinical implications were discussed.

The study of the role of the background languages in third language acquisition : the state of the art
- 2010

Ingår i: International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching. - Berlin ; New York : De Gruyter ; Mouton. - 0019-042X .- 1613-4141. ; 48:2/3, s. 185-219
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this article is to give an up-to-date picture of study of the role of the background languages (the first language, L1, and the second language, L2) in third language (L3) acquisition, mainly in the two areas of vocabulary and syntax. These seem to be the two linguistic levels on which there has so far been most research concerning cross-linguistic influence (CLI). Lexical CLI and syntactic transfer have in most cases been studied separately, but as we will see studies indicate that L3 learners seem to rely on both vocabulary and grammar from their background languages, at least to some extent. The role of the background languages in morphology and phonology has been less investigated in L3 studies, although there are a few studies that indicate that L3 performance can reflect activation of previously acquired languages at these linguistic levels too. The paper also includes a survey of neurolinguistic approaches to multilingualism and discusses how these findings can contribute to the understanding of transfer in L3 acquisition.

A new self-tapping Brånemark implant: clinical and radiographic evaluation.
- 1992
-
Ingår i: The International journal of oral & maxillofacial implants. - 0882-2786. ; 7:1, s. 80-5
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A new self-tapping Brånemark implant designed for denser bone qualities was evaluated with regard to insertion technique, complications, marginal bone remodeling, and survival rate. Thirty patients, representing 21 mandibles and 9 maxillae, participated in the study. In each patient both standard and self-tapping implants were placed, and a total of 179 implants, 88 self-tapping and 91 standard, were inserted. Thirteen of 62 mandibular self-tapping implants reached their correct positions only after using the screw tap or the cylinder wrench for manual insertion. No such problems were noted when using standard fixtures after bone pre-tapping. In the maxillae, neither of the two implant designs presented any problems. One standard and one self-tapping fixture failed to osseointegrate. Radiolucencies were seen in the bone around the apical portion of two fixtures, one of each design. The mean marginal bone resorption after 1 year of follow-up was 0.5 to 0.6 mm for the two fixture types.

- Fifteen mentally retarded Swedish women, judged to be a representative sample, gave birth to 41 children. These children were followed up at the age of 1-21 years with regard to registrations in the Social Register, the Board for Provisions and Services to the Mentally Retarded and the files of the Child and Youth Psychiatric Departments. One child had died, and of the remaining 40 85% had or had exhibited severe psychosocial problems according to register data. The implications of the findings are discussed.

- A total population screening of children born during 1962-1976 and living in the Gothenburg region at the end of 1980 was carried out in order to obtain prevalence figures for infantile autism and other childhood psychoses. It was found that the prevalence figure for infantile autism was 2.0 per 10,000 and for other childhood psychoses 1.9 per 10,000. Boys were much more often affected by infantile autism than girls. In the case of other psychoses, no such over-representation was seen. A majority of the children were mentally retarded, and only 4% had tested IQs exceeding 100. The results are in good agreement with the three earlier epidemiological studies concerned with childhood psychosis.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Paediatric and neurodevelopmental examinations were made of 122 children between the ages of 5 and 7 years. The mothers of 62 of these children had undergone amniocentesis for prenatal chromosome determination. The other 60 children were controls, matched for time of birth and maternal age. The fact that no difference between the groups was revealed in respect of paediatric and neurodevelopmental disorders, orthopaedic abnormalities, or respiratory problems during the neonatal period indicates that the risk for developmental complications is not increased in children born after amniocentesis in the second trimester.

- Product descriptions of cheese, candy and salmon products were presented to samples of respondents in four Nordic countries. The descriptions represented various applications of genetic modification (GM), varied along a 'distance' dimension and a 'what is modified' dimension, and were presented along with a conventionally produced product. Respondents ranked the products according to preference, and their perceptions were ascertained by the laddering method. Results indicate that respondents regard 'non-GM' as a value in itself, and associate the use of GM with a host of negative consequences and risks, but mostly with uncertainty and unhealthiness. Benefits of the use of GM were perceived and regarded as relevant, but could not compensate for the negative associations. The 'distance' dimension had a clear impact on consumer preferences, whereas the 'what is modified' dimension had effects which were product specific. © 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Objective: To determine the prevalence and clinical characteristics of psoriatic arthritis mutilans (PAM) in the Nordic countries. Method: Patients with putative PAM aged >= 18 years were recruited. Fifty-nine patients were included after clinical examination. Results: The prevalence of PAM in the adult Nordic population was estimated to be 3.69 per million inhabitants [95% confidence interval (CI) 2.75-4.63]. The female to male ratio was close to 1:1. The mean age of skin disease onset was 25 years and the mean age of onset of joint disease was 30 years. The onset of skin disease was 2 years earlier among female patients. At inclusion, the mean duration of arthritis was 27 +/- 11 years for male patients and 33 +/- 11 years for female patients. PAM was most frequently seen in the distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints of the toes, followed by the IP joint of the thumb and the DIP joint of the little finger on the left hand. Female and male patients had similar numbers of painful and swollen joints. Enthesitis was found in 19 patients (32%), while 38 patients (64%) had a history of dactylitis. Twenty-three of these 38 patients (61%) had a history of dactylitis in the same finger/toe as they had PAM. At the time of inclusion, 45% of the patients were found to have clear or almost clear skin. Conclusions: PAM in the Nordic countries has a low prevalence, with only three to five cases per million inhabitants. The majority of the patients present with mild skin disease.

- Enzymatic pretreatment of algae by means of cellulose degrading enzyme was evaluated through lab-scale and pilot-scale experiments. The degradation efficiency of the enzyme depended on the initial physical quality of the algae. Lab-scale batch anaerobic digestion experiments showed comparatively low methane potential for the pretreated algae at both mesophilic and thermophilic temperatures. However, the raw algae (cut into small pieces) were found to be hardly hydrolysable. The methane potential of raw algae in thermophilic and mesophilic digestion was about 17 NmL/g VS and –36 NmL/g VS respectively. Presence of inhibitory agent(s) was obvious at both temperatures. Very fast growth of sulfate-reducing bacteria was noticed in the continuous digestion, so that in less than 20 days, hydrogen sulfide concentrations over 10000 ppm were observed in both meso- and thermophilic reactors. Inhibition of methanogenesis in the thermophilic reactor occurred at unionized dissolved sulfide concentration of about 22 mg/L (10000 ppm in the biogas) while it was mainly non-SRB acetogens that were inhibited in the mesophilic reactor at unionized sulfide concentrations as high as 50 mg/L (17000 ppm in the biogas). This shows that probably thermophilic digestion is more prone to be inhibited at high sulfide concentrations. Micro-aeration was found to be more efficient in the thermophilic reactor while its effect on the mesophilic process was negligible.

Re-examining “Practice” in Interpreter Education
- 2021
-
Ingår i: International Journal of Interpreter Education. - : Clemson University. - 2150-5772. ; 14:1, s. 82-88
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this commentary, the authors explore “practice” in interpreter education. They outline differences in meaning and usage of the term, including the notions of “reflective practice” and “deliberate practice,” discuss the importance of high-quality skill development-focused practice (SDFP) in skill acquisition, and call for a systematic program of research into SDFP in interpreter education, particularly within the context of dialogue interpreting.

The child’s best interest : Perspectives of gamete recipients and donors
- 2015
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Background: An increasing number of couples turn to treatment with oocyte or sperm donation, but there is limited knowledge regarding the consequences of these treatments in a program using identifiable donors. Aim: The overall aim was to study information-sharing among heterosexual couples following identity-release gamete donation. A further aim was to study donors’ attitudes towards future contact with donation offspring. Methods: The four studies were part of The Swedish Study on Gamete Donation; a prospective, longitudinal study of donors and recipients of donated oocytes and sperm. Study I and II had a quantitative approach with recipients of donated oocytes or sperm participating through questionnaires at start of treatment, two months after the first treatment and when their child was 1-4 years old. Study III was a qualitative interview study with 30 parents following sperm donation with school-aged children. Study IV had a quantitative approach with oocyte and sperm donors participating through questionnaires 5-8 years post-donation. Results: Study I revealed that the recipients of donated gametes in general were open about their treatment with the people around them and supported disclosure to offspring regarding his/her genetic origin. Study II reported that most of those who became parents following donor conception intended to share information about the donation with their offspring and some had already started the information-sharing process with their young child. Study III described information sharing with the offspring to be a process of several levels, revealing various amounts of information about the way of conception. The parent was seen to be the owner of the process and moving the process forward with different aspects and the reactions of the offspring serving as driving or impeding forces of the process. Study IV reported that a majority of the gamete donors seem to have a positive or neutral attitude towards a future meeting with a donation offspring. Conclusion: The present thesis suggests that there is a trend towards more openness among recipients of donated gametes in Sweden. It also points out that most recipients and donors within the Swedish gamete donation programme acknowledge the child’s right to his/her genetic origin and have the best interest of the child in mind.

Micro-Slurry-jet Erosion (MSE) testing of CVD TiC/TiN and TiC coatings
- 2009

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Several different experimental techniques are normally used to evaluate tribological properties of thin hard coatings. However, most of the tests cannot assess properties of coating, substrate and interface independently. In this study, the potential of a Micro-Slurry-jet Erosion (MSE) test to swiftly evaluate the intrinsic wear properties of thin single layered and multilayered coatings is demonstrated. A slurry containing 1.2 mu m alumina particles was impacted at high velocity perpendicular to CVD TiC/TiN (TiN on top of TiC) and Tic coatings deposited on cemented carbide. In addition, nano-indentation and XRD, GDOES, AFM analyses were done for the original and worn surfaces. For the TiC/TiN coating, the wear depth of the TiN layer increased linearly until the Tic layer was reached. There after the wear occurred at a lower rate but tended to increase towards the TiC/substrate interlayer. The single layered Tic coating showed the same wear behaviour as the TiC layer of the TiC/TiN coating. The wear rate was constant within the individual TiN and Tic layers, but changed near the interfaces. The micro-topographies of the worn surfaces observed by AFM correlated to the difference in the wear rate of the individual layers and the change in wear rate at the interface to the substrate. The Tic layer proved to have about two times higher wear resistance than the TiN layer. Consequently, the MSE test can distinguish between small differences in the properties of the coatings and of the interlayer zones, and can be used as a screening test when evaluating multilayered as well as single layered coatings.
