Bakgrund: Kunskapsintensivt arbete utgör en allt större del av näringslivet idag. Morgondagens vinnare blir de företag med den mest kompetenta personalen. Organisationen som ligger till grund för detta arbete står inför en omfattande förändring som en del av organisationens strategi för att uppnå en långsiktig konkurrenskraft. För att möjliggöra detta krävs en kompetensutvecklingsstrategi som även
A portrait of the swedish poet and critic Miranda Landén.
This study explores the impact academic teachers’ writing of a teaching portfolio can have on their professional learning. Through an open-ended questionnaire, 26 academics from three faculties reported on insights, effects on teaching practice, and effects on collegial exchange that the portfolio writing entailed. We discuss how the experienced impact relates to the three competence levels excell
Study design: Retrospective data collection and patient-reported outcome measures. Objectives: To investigate surgical outcome, complications, and patient satisfaction in patients with chronic SCI and symptomatic post-traumatic progressive myelopathy (PPM) who underwent neurosurgical untethering and/or spinal cord cyst drainage with the aim of preventing further neurological deterioration. Setting
The 1920s saw a significant exchange between eugenicists in Swedenand the young Soviet state. Sweden did not take part in World War I, and duringthe years following immediately upon the Versailles peace treaty, Swedishscholars came to serve as an intermediary link between, on the one hand, SovietRussia and Weimar Germany, and, on the other hand, Western powers. Swedisheugenicists organized confere
This article focuses on Olof von Dalin’s occasional verse, which has not yet been collected in a scholarly edition. Dalin's occasional poems have survived thanks to many people. Some of them were personal friends and acquaintances of his while others did not move in his circles and were not personally known to him. They copied his poems and in not a few cases made sure that they were printed; they
Popular Abstract in Swedish Catecholaminerna dopamin, noradrenalin och adrenalin är en grupp transmittorsubstanser som är involverade i olika funktioner i det centrala nervsystemet. De olika catecholaminerna bildas med hjälp av specifika enzymer. Tyrosin hydroxylas (TH) omvandlar L-DOPA till dopamin (DA), som i sin tur omvandlas av enzymet dopamin ß-hydroxylas (DBH) till noradrenalin, som till sisCatecholamines, comprising the neurotransmitters dopamine (DA), noradrenaline (NA) and adrenaline (A) are synthesized by specific enzymes (tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), dopamine ß-hydroxylase (DBH), phenylethanolamine-N-methyltransferase (PNMT)) in the central nervous system. The development and distribution of different catecholaminergic systems have been described in both the brain and retina of th
Background: The concerted effects of changes in gene expression due to changes in the environment are ultimately reflected in the metabolome. Dynamics of metabolite concentrations under a certain condition can therefore give a description of the cellular state with a high degree of functional information. We used this potential to evaluate the metabolic status of two recombinant strains of Sacchar
When Swedish wastewater treatment plants were rebuilt to include enhanced nitrogen removal, anaerobic ammonium oxidation (anammox) was far from being a mature technology. During the 2000s, the process has been introduced into sludge liquor treatment worldwide. The step to introduce anammox in the mainstream is decreasing, but lab- and pilot-scale studies on real municipal wastewater are yet lackin
The current control design development process in automotive industry and elsewhere involves many expensive experiments and hand-tuning of control parameters. Model based control design is a promising approach to reduce costs and development time. In this process low complexity models are essential and model reduction methods are very useful tools. This thesis combines the areas of modeling and mo
Two main topics are considered in this thesis: Machining with industrial robot manipulators and optimal motion control of robots and vehicles. The motivation for research on the first subject is the need for flexible and accurate production processes employing industrial robots as their main component. The challenge to overcome here is to achieve high-accuracy machining solutions, in spite of the
Force sensing provides robots the capability to accomplish tasks where physical interaction with the environment is required, such as assembly. Small position uncertainties can then be corrected for by sensing the contact forces. This thesis considers the problem of force-controlled assembly, including how tasks can be specified in a simple and intuitive way and how robust task execution under unc
Purpose: To describe the clinical phenotype of the complete type of X-linked congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB1) with different types of mutations in the NYX gene. Methods: The clinical and genetic data from 18 male patients with eight different mutations from two ophthalmological institutes were reviewed. The variability in refractive error, reduced visual acuity and full-field electror
