ABB has identified a potential in decreasing their levels of capital employed and in particular net working capital, NWC. To release tied up capital from the balance sheet, a decision was taken to start an initiative with focus on NWC. The focus area is to reduce NWC as percentage of revenues and to reduce the levels of overdues. The objective of this report is to describe a methodology for decrea
Quantum dots (QDs) and graphene are both promising materials for the development of new-generation optoelectronic devices. Towards this end, synergic assembly of these two building blocks is a key step but remains a challenge. Here, we show a one-step strategy for organizing QDs in a graphene matrix via interfacial self-assembly, leading to the formation of sandwiched hybrid QD-graphene nanofilms.
Aims To study various aspects of treatment for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in a Swedish population of extremely preterm infants born before 27 weeks of gestation. Methods A national, prospective and population-based study was performed in Sweden from 1 April 2004 to 31 March 2007. The criteria for the treatment of ROP accorded with the recommendations of the Early Treatment for Retinopathy of
This paper describes the fabrication and initial characterization of an ultra-thin silicon PIN detector using a new technique in silicon nanotechnology. In collaboration with the Nuclear Physics Division and the Lund Nano Lab at Lund University, we have developed and manufactured ultra thin Delta E-detectors for spectroscopic applications. The fabrication process has been carried out using a doubl
The review asks how the adaptive filter model of the cerebellum might be relevant to experimental work on zone C3, one of the most extensively studied regions of cerebellar cortex. As far as features of the cerebellar microcircuit are concerned, the model appears to fit very well with electrophysiological discoveries concerning the importance of molecular layer interneurons and their plasticity, t
Background and purpose - Childhood fractures are associated with lower peak bone mass (a determinant of osteoporosis in old age) and higher adult fracture risk. By examining time trends in childhood fracture epidemiology, it may be possible to estimate the vector of fragility fracture risk in the future. Patients and methods - By using official inpatient and outpatient data from the county of Skån
Objectives Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent form of arthritis and accounts for substantial morbidity and disability, particularly in older people. It is characterised by changes in joint structure, including degeneration of the articular cartilage, and its aetiology is multifactorial with a strong postulated genetic component. Methods A meta-analysis was performed of four genome-wide asso
Community screening to guide preventive interventions for acute aortic disease has been recommended in high-risk individuals. We sought to prospectively assess risk factors in the general population for aortic dissection (AD) and severe aneurysmal disease in the thoracic and abdominal aorta.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Varje år drabbas cirka 8000 svenska kvinnor av bröstcancer, och antalet nyinsjuknade ökar årligen med någon procent. I Sverige idag finns fler än 90 000 kvinnor som har avslutat eller är under behandling för sjukdomen. Med hjälp av nya återfallsförebyggande läkemedel har prognosen kraftigt förbättrats och 5-årsöverlevnaden är nästan 90 %. Den stora utmaningen i dagens bOne of the great challenges in breast cancer treatment today is to customize adjuvant treatment to each patient’s individual needs. To do this it is necessary to learn more about the prognostic and treatment predictive factors that determine the risk of relapse and response to a certain mode of treatment. This thesis describes studies on the effect of amplified in breast cancer 1 (AIB1), a coactiv
My thesis ’’Responsibility to create sustainability – a concept analysis of responsibility in the sustainability reports of the Swedish fashion industry’’, investigates Hennes & Mauritz and Filippa Ks view of the concept responsibility in sustainability reports, be- fore and after the adoption of The Sustainable development goals. The purpose of this study is to uncover if the enterprises view
Syftet med denna studie vara att undersöka den högkänsliga personens subjektiva upplevelser av livet innan- och efter insikten om personlighetsdraget. Tillkommande frågeställningar som studerades, var även de positiva och negativa aspekterna av personlighetsdraget. Studiens metodologiska utgångspunkt var av den kvalitativa innehållsanalysen. Intervjuer hölls med sju deltagare som upplevde sig själThe purpose of this study was to examine the highly sensitives persons subjective experiences in life before- and after the knowledge about the personality character. Additional questions also studied the positive and negative aspects of the highly sensitive person. The studies methodological framework is based on the qualitative content analysis. The interviews where held with seven participants
I mars 2019 röstade EU-parlamentet igenom Direktivet om upphovsrätt på den digitala inre marknaden (”DSM-direktivet”) som medför förändringar i ansvarsstrukturen för upphovsrättsliga intrång på nätet. Direktivets kanske mest kontroversiella artikel är art 17 som behandlar ansvar för särskilda internetplattformar, så kallade ”onlineleverantörer av delningstjänster för innehåll” (”onlineleverantörerIn March 2019, the European Parliament adopted the Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market ("the DSM Directive") which implies changes in the liability regime of online copyright infringements. Perhaps the most controversial article in the directive is Art 17, which regulates liability on specific internet platforms, so-called "online content-sharing service providers” (
Hemicellulose is next to cellulose the most abundant polysaccharide on earth and as such an important renewable resource. Mannans are the major hemicellulose in so:ftwodd and are found as storage polysaccharide in various plants. -mannanases are the main mannan degrading enzymes. In this work the -1,4-mannanase from the soilliving bacteria Cellulosamas Jimi was studied and special focus was put on
Malignant melanoma (MM) patients are being treated with an increasing number of personalized medicine (PM) drugs, several of which are small molecule drugs developed to treat patients with specific disease genotypes and phenotypes. In particular, the clinical application of protein kinase inhibitors (PKI) has been highly effective for certain subsets of MM patients. Vemurafenib, a PKI targeting BR
