Uppsatsen behandlar frågan om positiv särbehandling på grund av kön och etnicitet i det svenska arbetslivet. Ett sätt att motverka missförhållanden på den svenska arbetsmarknaden har varit införandet av positiv särbehandling. Positiv särbehandling är ett undantag från likabehandlingsprincipen och syftar till att åstadkomma reell jämlikhet. Positiv särbehandling tillåts i svensk rätt för att åstadk

This essay examines the implicit relationship between political science and rare events, or so called Black Swans. The purpose is to analyze Black Swan weakness by evaluating the nature of political analysis and political theories. The key to this assessment is the analysis of the predictive powers of political analysis and theories. This essay claims, on the basis of Karl Poppers historicism crit
In case of alcohol situations on work places, there are lots of different expressions and definitions as alcohol abuse, alcoholism, chronic alcoholism, alcohol disease, occasional cases of alcohol abuse and alcohol abuse of disease character. The purpose with this paper is to investigate which value different definitions of alcohol problems has got in connection to employers rehabilitation respons
Library and information science (LIS), is a research area marked by theoretical diversity and strong influence from both the developing library profession, as well as other social sciences. During the development of LIS several attempts have been made to define its scientific identity. The definition of what constitutes core, boundaries and the superior identity of LIS is still debated among resea
Folding two-dimensional graphene around one-dimensional III-V nanowires yields a new class of hybrid nanomaterials combining their excellent complementary properties. However, important for high-quality electrical and optical performance, needed in many applications, are well-controlled oxide-free interfaces and a tight folding morphology. To improve the interface chemistry between the graphene an
Tissue clearing is commonly used for whole-brain imaging but seldom used for brain slices. Here, we present a simple protocol to slice, immunostain, and clear sections of adult rat brains for subsequent high-resolution confocal imaging. The protocol does not require toxic reagents or specialized equipment. We also provide instructions for culturing of rat brain slices free floating on permeable cu
Background: Previous studies have reported an inverse association between educational attainment and different osteoarthritis (OA) outcomes. However, none of the previous studies have accounted for potential confounding by early-life environment and genetics. Thus, we aimed to examine the association between educational attainment and knee and hip OA surgery using twin data. Methods: From the Swed
Sanfilippo C syndrome (Mucopolysaccharidosis IIIC) is a rare lysosomal storage disorder caused by mutations in the HGSNAT gene. It is characterized by a progressive and severe neurodegeneration, for which there is no treatment available. Here, we report the generation of two HGSNAT-mutated cell lines from a healthy human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) line using CRISPR/Cas9 editing. These n
Migratory birds must make complex decisions to use wind to their advantage during flight and increasing flight performance is particularly important while crossing ecological barriers. Age-related differences in how birds deal with wind have suggested experience improves necessary skills in gaining positive wind support. However, differences in wind support between age groups over ecological barri
Background: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) measurement in midlife predicts long-term prostate cancer (PCa) mortality among white men. Objective: To determine whether baseline PSA level during midlife predicts risk of aggressive PCa in black men. Design, setting, and participants: Nested case-control study among black men in the Southern Community Cohort Study recruited between 2002 and 2009. A pr
Gas turbine systems are predominantly designed to be fuelled with gaseous fuels within a limited Wobbe index range (typically HHV=45-55 MJ/Nm3 or 1200-1480 Btu/scf). When low calorific fuel gases are fired, the engine will be forced to operate outside its design envelope. The added mass flow will typically raise the cycle pressure ratio and in two-shaft designs also raise the gas generator shaft s
Background: The Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS) is a self-administered hip-specific questionnaire intended to evaluate symptoms and functional limitations, and it is commonly used to evaluate interventions in individuals with hip dysfunction or hip osteoarthritis. The HOOS consists of 43 questions in five subscales: Pain, Symptoms, Function in daily living, Function in sport
Childless men are reported to have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality. Information on inherited genetic risk for CVD has improved the predictive models. Presuming that childlessness is a proxy of infertility we aimed to investigate if childless men inherit more often genetic traits for CVD and if combining genetic and parenthood information improves predictive models for C
Detta arbete kick-startar AI (artificiell intelligens) för ledningsunderhåll i VA-branschen i Sverige. Arbetet med befintliga VA-nät är idag främst reaktivt; man reparerar läckor vartefter man blir varse dem, ibland till stora kostnader om läckan är omfattande och akut. Med denna artikel vill vi sätta fokus på proaktivt arbete med ledningsnät och diskutera riskanalys inom området. En ANN-modell soThis work kick-starts AI (artificial intelligence) for pipe management among Swedish water utilities. The current work with pipe management is mainly reactive; leaks are repaired after they are detected, sometimes with large costs if the leakage is extensive and critical. With this article, we want to focus on proactive pipe network management and discuss risk analysis in the field. A previously d
