This chapter presents two case analyses, one situated in Sweden and the other in Poland, where attempts have been made to intervene in the existing laws regulating access to abortion. The first case involves the lawsuits filed by midwives in Sweden who claimed to have been discriminated against on the grounds of their religion when they had been turned down for work due to their objection to perfo
Languages differ in how events are described, but little is known about how semantics interacts with online event processing. This study targets this question examining placement events in Swedish. Swedish has three obligatory placement verbs for events where objects have support from below: sätta ’set’, ställa ’stand’, and lägga ’lay’. Swedish lacks a superordinate general term like English put (
The Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) is a self-administered instrument measuring outcome after knee injury at impairment, disability, and handicap level in five subscales. Reliability, validity, and responsiveness of a Swedish version was assessed in 142 patients who underwent arthroscopy because of injury to the menisci, anterior cruciate ligament, or cartilage of the knee. The
In a recent paper we presented a procedure for optimal analyticalcontrol of several deformable mirrors based on only the measured guidestar wavefronts. The expected performance was evaluated for variousguide star configurations using up to three deformable mirrors. Forsimplicity the guide stars were assumed to be infinitely distant. Inthis paper we address the effect of using laser guide stars in
This study investigated how the outdoor environments at nursing homes for older persons were experienced and used to gain knowledge with implications for design. Focus group methodology was used to explore staff's view of how the residents experienced and used the outdoors. Two main themes and ten sub-themes were the result when the focus group interviews were analyzed. Theme one, being comfortabl
OBJECTIVE: To study the pharmacodynamics of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid against different strains of Haemophilus influenzae in an in vitro kinetic model. The concentrations used corresponded to human serum levels obtained after 875 mg amoxicillin/clavulanic acid given b.i.d., 500/125 mg amoxicillin/clavulanic acid given t.i.d. and those obtained with a pharmacokinetically enhanced formulation cont
This paper attempts to address the failings of a predominant paradigm in IS research and practice that emphasises technological determinism. This paradigm makes use of a false belief in the power of rationality in organizational decision-making, and a mythology in which organizational actors can be viewed as passive ‘users’ of technology. We wish to create a discussion of the nature and role of pr
Waiting times in cancer care is a patient safety risk that needs increased attention. Mechanisms and effects need to be clarified, waiting time statistics should be openly presented and evidence--based strategies should be implemented. Cancer patient pathways are implemented in Sweden during 2015-2018 and are expected to reduce waiting times for some patient groups, but cannot be expected to prese
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of training on the in vivo tibial structural strength during the development of post-ovariectomy osteoporosis. Seventeen mature Wistar rats (215 g) were ovariectomized and randomized into two groups. The sedentary control group was kept cage confined, while 3 days postoperatively the trained group started treadmill running with high intensity for
This paper is based on outcomes from SID (http://sid.desiign.org), a three-year project where twenty-four children with profound intellectual disabilities visited three MSE centres. SID's aim was to develop and demonstrate the potentials of interactive design in and for MSE practices together with the children and the pedagogical staff. In the project, we developed artefacts that were designed to
Deltidsanställning är vanligt förekommande inom branscher som vård, handel och service, där arbetskraftsbehovet ofta varierar. Samtidigt aktualiserar del-tidsarbete frågor om rättvisa och skydd mot diskriminering. Denna uppsats behandlar frågan om det är förenligt med diskrimineringsförbudet att inte utge samma tillägg vid mertidsarbete som vid övertidsarbete. Uppsatsen tar utgångspunkt i förbudetPart-time employment is common in sectors such as health care, retail and service, where the need of labour often varies. At the same time, part-time employment raises issues of fairness and protection against discrimination. This thesis addresses the question of whether it is compatible with the prohi-bition of discrimination to grant lower additional pay for part-time employees working extra hou
Timely detection and surveillance of disease community spread is a potent tool for implementing effective public health interventions. This study investigates the National Telehealth Service (1177 helpline) across 18 regions in Sweden in 2020 to identify early signals of community transmission of COVID-19 at the beginning of the pandemic. Focusing on calls related to key COVID-19 symptoms (cough,
