Ur ett internationellt perspektiv har Sverige ett högt anseende gällande jämställdhet mellan kvin- nor och män. Trots detta finns det en generell löneskillnad på 12,5 procent mellan könen. Att det finns oförklarade löneskillnader mellan kvinnor och män kan förklaras med att Sverige har en könssegregerad arbetsmarknad. Statistiskt sett finns det oförklarade löneskillnader, men Arbets- domstolen harSweden is regarded as one of the top countries in the world in terms of equality between wom-en and men. Even so, there is a general pay gap of 12.5 % between the sexes. The unex-plained pay differences between women and men can be explained by a gender segregated labour market. Even though statistics show unexplained pay differences between the sexes, there has not been a single conviction of pay

The worlds shipping must reach a 55 percent reduction in carbon dioxide by 2050. This is a massive challenge that will have an effect on every ship, every shipowner and every yard all over the world. At the same time, it appears to be challenging to implement new technologies and the transition is so far too slow for the industry to reach its target. The purpose of this study examines how shipping

When performing adaptive optics (AO) correction for the effect of atmospheric fluctuations, different effects, related to measuring the wavefront at one wavelength and observing at another one, may show up. Some of these effects are related to the dispersive properties of the atmosphere. Others are related to diffraction, both regarding light propagation through the turbulent atmosphere to the ent

The evaporative gas turbine (EvGT), also known as the humid air turbine (HAT) cycle, is a novel advanced gas turbine cycle that has attracted considerable interest for the last decade. This high-efficiency cycle shows the potential to be competitive with Diesel engines or combined cycles in small and intermediate scale plants for power production and/or cogeneration. A 0.6 MW natural gas-fired EvG

BACKGROUND: To investigate, in a rabbit model, the effect of two different doses of vigabatrin (VGB) on retinal function and morphology. METHODS: Twenty-nine rabbits of mixed strain were divided into two groups, receiving either high-dose (n = 15) or low-dose (n = 14) oral VGB treatment (cumulative dose 29.8 +/- 2.9 g and 14.2 +/- 0.6 g respectively). Ten rabbits receiving water served as control

Under många år har konsumenttidningen Råd & Rön haft stort inflytande på de svenska konsumenterna och deras konsumtion. Under närmare 50 år ägdes tidningen av Konsumentverket och dess föregångare Statens institut för konsumentfrågor. Genom studier av Råd & Röns årgångar, konsumentmyndigheternas arkiv samt riksdagstrycket står det tydligt att politiker och konsumentmyndigheter haft stort in

Our aim was to analyze retinal structure in young patients with Best disease with reference to future gene therapy. This was a retrospective observational spectral domain optical coherence tomography study of four patients aged 10 years or less with Best disease. Findings ranged from subtle thickening at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium-photoreceptor interdigitation line, to subretinal

This is an outline of a new joint Lund-Stockholm six-year research program funded by the Riksbankens Jubileumsfond, addressing three themes: (1) transnational actors and the democratization of international institutions, (2) democracy and public-private partnerships in global governance, and (3) the democratic credentials of transnational actors.

We introduce the special issue, ‘Trust in and through Academic Development’, which includes papers and reflections written by 26 authors from seven different countries. These collected papers demonstrate that trust-building is an integral part of academic developers’ practice, serving as an anchor in uncertain and turbulent times. Based on the research presented in this issue and elsewhere, we def
