Abstract:
Abstract Aims/hypothesis Non-Western immigrants to Europe are at high risk for type 2 diabetes. In this nationwide study including incident cases of type 2 diabetes, the aim was to compare all-cause mortality (ACM) and cause-specific mortality (CSM) rates in first- and second-generation immigrants with native Swedes. Methods People living in Sweden diagnosed with new-onset pharmacologically treated type 2 diabetes between 2006 and 2012 were identified through the Swedish Prescribed Drug Register. They were followed until 31 December 2016 for ACM and until 31 December 2012 for CSM. Analyses were adjusted for age at diagnosis, sex, socioeconomic status, education, treatment and region. Associations were assessed using Cox regression analysis. Results In total, 138,085 individuals were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes between 2006 and 2012 and fulfilled inclusion criteria. Of these, 102,163 (74.0%) were native Swedes, 28,819 (20.9%) were first-generation immigrants and 7103 (5.1%) were second-generation immigrants with either one or both parents born outside Sweden. First-generation immigrants had lower ACM rate (HR 0.80 [95% CI 0.76, 0.84]) compared with native Swedes. The mortality rates were particularly low in people born in non-Western regions (0.46 [0.42, 0.50]; the Middle East, 0.41 [0.36, 0.47]; Asia, 0.53 [0.43, 0.66]; Africa, 0.47 [0.38, 0.59]; and Latin America, 0.53 [0.42, 0.68]). ACM rates decreased with older age at migration and shorter stay in Sweden. Compared with native Swedes, first-generation immigrants with ≤ 24 years in Sweden (0.55 [0.51, 0.60]) displayed lower ACM rates than those spending >24 years in Sweden (0.92 [0.87, 0.97]). Second-generation immigrants did not have better survival rates than native Swedes but rather displayed higher ACM rates for people with both parents born abroad (1.28 [1.05, 1.56]). Conclusions/interpretation In people with type 2 diabetes, the lower mortality rate in first-generation non-Western immigrants compared with native Swedes was reduced over time and was equalised in second-generation immigrants. These findings suggest that acculturation to Western culture may impact ACM and CSM in immigrants with type 2 diabetes but further investigation is needed.

Abstract:
No event in recent times was more unexpected than the assassination of Sweden's prime minister, Olof Palme, shortly before midnight on 28 February 1986. The murder sent a shock wave throughout the Western world, especially, of course, among Swedish citizens. By noon the next day, virtually all Swedes had learned about his death. People in Sweden displayed their emotions publicly in an unprecedented manner. Church attendance, which had dwindled for decades, suddenly, albeit temporarily, soared.

Abstract:
With an area of 450 000 km2, Sweden is one of the largest countries in Western Europe. It is 1500 km from north to south. It has nearly 9 million inhabitants (20 per km2). It is a constitutional, hereditary monarchy with a parliamentary government. Sweden is highly dependent on international trade to maintain its high productivity and good living standards. Many public services are provided by Sweden's 289 municipalities and 21 county councils. Municipal responsibilities include schools, child care and care of the elderly, as well as social support for people with a chronic mental illness. The county councils are mainly responsible for healthcare, including psychiatric care, and public transport at the regional level. Sweden is characterised by an even distribution of incomes and wealth. This is partly a result of the comparatively large role of the public sector.

Abstract:
Sphalerite is, apart from being the main global source of zinc (Zn), also one of the main source for the critical elements indium (In), gallium (Ga) and germanium (Ge), which can be extracted as by-products during Zn mining. In the westernmost part of the Palaeoproterozoic Bergslagen ore province, Sweden, In-anomalies have been reported from sulphide mineralizations. These In-anomalies can be attributed to either pre-ore formation crustal processes manifested by the local (Svecofennian, c. 1.87-1.89 Ga) syn-volcanic mineralisations, or to epigenetic metasomatic events primarily related to younger (c. 1.80-1.79 Ga) granitoids. In this study, sphalerite samples from 19 different mineralisations in westernmost Bergslagen were examined by both electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA) and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS), in order to firstly, measure trace element concentrations, and especially those of the critical element In, Ga and Ge, and secondly, to apply this information to gain new information on the trace element inventory and incorporation mechanisms of sphalerite. The dataset also allows for testing the ore-formation process models, not least in cases of elevated In-contents. Utilization of these two analytical methods also provided the opportunity for a direct spot-to-spot comparison of their performance in detecting trace element concentrations in sphalerite. The results verify the In-enrichment of the area, whereas Ga and Ge only follow crustal abundancies. The concentrations of the other trace elements vary significantly, even at a sample scale. The compositional variation shows several patterns between certain elements, suggesting that their incorporation in the sphalerite lattice was allowed via substitution mechanisms (e.g. In3++(Cu+,Ag+)↔2Zn2+; Fe2++Cd2++Mn2+↔3Zn2+; Cu++Mn2++In3+↔3Zn2+). In contrast, some measured high Cd, Ag and Pb concentrations are attributed to nano (or micro) inclusions of primarily galena. Other elements such as As, Sn, Sb, Se, Au, Tl, Ni, Te and Mo yielded, in almost all the samples, concentrations below the detection limit for both analytical methods. Discrimination methods based on trace element concentrations and distribution of the In-enriched mineralizations suggest that the In-anomalies are most likely related to Svecofennian volcanic to subvolcanic hydrothermal processes, forming mineralisations that were later modified during the Svecokarelian orogeny. Finally, the direct comparison of EPMA results to that of LA-ICP-MS, showed the significantly better performance of the latter method in detecting trace-level concentrations, provided that a proper calibration procedure has been followed.
Sulfidmineralet zinkblände är, förutom att vara den huvudsakliga globala källan för zink (Zn), också ett av de viktigaste värdmineralen för de kritiska metallerna indium (In), gallium (Ga) och germanium (Ge), vilka kan utvinnas som viktiga biprodukter vid zinkbrytning. I den västligaste delen av malmprovinsen Bergslagen i Mellansverige har In-anomalier rapporterats från flera mineraliseringar. Dessa lokala In-anrikningar kan tillskrivas antingen processer verksamma innan och under den vulkaniska aktiviteten, eller senare geologiska händelser relaterade till yngre graniter. I denna studie har zinkblände från 19 olika mineraliseringar i västra Bergslagen karakteriserats med två olika system för mikrokemisk analys; elektronmikrosond (EPMA) och laserablativ induktivt kopplad plasma-masspektrometri (LA-ICP-MS). Detta har gjorts för att mäta spårelementhalter, och särskilt då för de kritiska metallerna In, Ga och Ge. Genom att använda dessa två metoder parallellt gavs också möjligheten till direkta jämförelser mellan dem vad gäller deras kapacitet för spårelementanalys av zinkblände. Resultaten verifierar att detta område är anomalt In-anrikat, medan halterna av Ga och Ge är låga och endast följer genomsnittshalterna för kontinental jordskorpa. Halterna av de övriga spårelementen varierar avsevärt, även på individuell provskala, och visar i flera fall systematiska mönster mellan vissa element. Dessa mönster tyder på att deras införlivande i zinkbländestrukturen gått via flera specifika utbytes-(substitutions-)mekanismer (t.ex. In3++ (Cu+, Ag+) ↔2Zn2+; Fe2+ + Cd2++ Mn2+ ↔3Zn2+, Cu++ Mn2++ In3+ ↔3Zn2+). Däremot kan förhöjda halter av Cd, Ag och Pd tillskrivas nano- (eller mikro-) inneslutningar av framförallt blyglans. Andra element, som As, Sn, Sb, Se, Au, TI, Ni, Te och Mo uppvisade halter under detektionsgränserna för båda analysmetoderna i nästan alla undersökta prov. Bildningsmässiga (genetiska) diskrimineringsmetoder baserade på spårelementhalter kombinerat med de geologiska och spatiella relationerna för de In-anrikade mineraliseringarna tyder på att de senare bildades genom svekofenniska vulkanisk-hydrotermala processer och därefter modifierats under svekokarelsk bergskedjebildning. Slutligen, i den direkta jämförelsen av EPMA gentemot LA-ICP-MS, visade den senare metoden signifikant bättre kapacitet för spårämnesanalys, förutsatt att ett korrekt kalibreringsprotokoll har följts.

Abstract:
Background: The media have an influential role within society and with media becoming increasingly more accessible over a number of different platforms it is important to comprehend what information is being received by audiences in order to then understand the consequences. Sweden has a reputation of being one of the most reputable countries, however a new, less flattering image has been emerging. There is a growing interest in what is happening in Sweden, especially since US President Donald Trump made his illusive comments in February 2017. Aim: The aim of this study is to explore how news sources in the Western world portray crime in Sweden. Two central questions are examined, (1) what crimes in Sweden are reported in western newspapers, and (2) what are the dominant themes in western newspaper’s discussions of crime in Sweden? Method: Qualitative content analysis was employed to evaluate 249 newspaper articles gathered through NewsBank database. Content of these articles became data which was coded via a data-driven coding frame. Data was partially double coded in an attempt to check consistency. Results: Part one results find that the most popular crime type in Western media crime in Sweden reports are violent crimes. A total of 111 articles in the sample written exclusively about specific events, 76 of which are violent offences. Part two of results explores the broader discourse. Conclusion: The focus on violent crimes is linked to a political discussion surrounding growing support for populist politics. The predominant narratives are, that immigration is to blame for rising crime levels, and Sweden’s identity crisis.

Abstract:

Tephrochronology, or the dating and correlation of stratigraphic sediment sequences by the use of tephra, is a dating method that has been much refined in the last decade. This refinement has enabled the detection of cryptotephra, which has expanded the known distribution of different tephras. At the site Lake Mulakullegöl in the southwest of Sweden, three distinct tephra horizons have been detected, of which two have been geochemically identified. The identified tephras are the Vedde Ash (ca 12,000 cal. yrs BP) and the Hässeldalen Tephra (ca 11,500 cal. yrs BP), both of Icelandic origin. These tephras were deposited during the middle of the Younger Dryas Stadial and the Younger Dryas/Preboreal transition, respectively. The Vedde Ash is one of the most widespread tephras of Icelandic provenance, while the Hässeldalen Tephra so far only has been found at two sites in southeastern Sweden, prior to the current study. A third, unidentified, tephra was also detected. Based on the stratigraphic position, this tephra might be the Borrobol Tephra, which has been dated to ca 14,400 cal. yrs BP. This might indicate that warming had not yet occurred in this part of Sweden. The extended known distribution of especially the Hässeldalen Tephra, but also the Vedde Ash, has enabled a higher potential for correlations between different records deposited during the Last Glacial/Interglacial transition.

Andersson, Stefan. "Deformation, metamorphism and remobilisation in the Hornkullen polymetallic deposit, western Bergslagen, Sweden." Thesis, Uppsala universitet, Institutionen för geovetenskaper, 2014. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-223246.

Full text
Abstract:
The polymetallic Hornkullen deposit is situated in the western part of the Bergslagen ore province, Sweden. It is hosted by an inlier of approximately 1.90-1.88 Ga Svecofennian volcanic and sedimentary metasupracrustal rocks enclosed in a significantly younger, c. 1.8 Ga TIB granitoid (Filipstad granite). Although being mined intermittently for silver during the last 100s of years in addition to been the subject for more recent exploration work, the genesis of this deposit and others in a similar geological position is poorly understood. The hypothesis is that the Hornkullen deposit represents a metamorphically overprinted, syn-volcanic Svecofennian mineralisation. The main ore assemblage comprises magnetite, pyrrhotite, galena, chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite with subordinate pyrite, sphalerite, ilmenite and löllingite. Pb-Fe-Ag-Sb sulphosalts include boulangerite, meneghinite, jamesonite, freibergite-tetrahedrite, pyrargyrite, and stephanite, which mainly occur in trace amounts. Gudmundite and molybdenite are rare accessories. Generally, galena, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite have accommodated strain in a ductile manner. Locally, this can also be seen in boulangerite, meneghinite and sphalerite. Magnetite, arsenopyrite and pyrite frequently have been deformed in a brittle way. The contrast in competence resulted in the remobilisation of the more ductile minerals into fractures in the more competent minerals. In massive parts, this contrast also resulted in more fragmented clasts of competent minerals within a less competent matrix, similar to “ball ore” texture. Recrystallisation is particularly evident in magnetite and pyrrhotite but also seen in coarser aggregates of ilmenite. Additionally, these minerals and also pyrite and arsenopyrite frequently exhibit euhedral morphology when occurring within less ductile minerals. Inclusions of ore minerals in porphyroblastic garnet are abundant. Geothermobarometry of arsenopyrite and sphalerite suggests temperatures and pressures of 525°C (between 440°C and c. 590°C) and c. 300-400 MPa, consistent with regional Svecokarelian amphibolite facies metamorphism, albeit with some caveats. Fluid inclusion entrapment conditions were determined to c. 440°C (between 400°C and 600°C) and c. 280 MPa. The observed textures are a result of deformation and remobilisation of diverse ore minerals during the Svecokarelian orogeny. Remobilisation was possibly initiated during prograde metamorphism, followed by additional and more extensive modification during retrograde conditions, at least to temperatures below 200°C. Sulphosalt formation is considered to reflect an evolution from prograde through retrograde metamorphism, although most of them formed during the retrograde stage, including the Ag-minerals. No evidence for any additional introduction of elements from later TIB magmatism is present. The combined observations can most easily be reconciled with a metamorphically overprinted syn-volcanic Svecofennian mineralisation.
Den polymetalliska mineraliseringen vid Hornkullen är belägen i västra Bergslagen i Mellansverige. Den uppträder i ca. 1,90-1,88 miljarder år gamla Svekofenniska metavulkaniska- och sedimentära ytbergarter inneslutna i en yngre, ca. 1,8 miljarder år gammal intrusiv bergart, så kallad Filipstadsgranit. Trots att mineraliseringen ganska nyligen varit ett mål för prospektering samt tidigare brutits på silver, saknas fortfarande information om dess malmmineralogi och hur den bildats. Hypotesen är att Hornkullen utgörs av en metamorft överpräglad synvulkanisk Svekofennisk mineralisering. Den domineras av magnetit, magnetkis, blyglans, kopparkis och arsenikkis och i mindre mängd pyrit, zinkblände, ilmenit och löllingit. Pb-Fe-Ag-Sb-sulfosalter finns lokalt och inkluderar boulangerit, meneghinit, jamesonit, freibergit-tetrahedrit, pyrargyrit, och stephanit. Gudmundit och molybdenglans är andra sällsynta accessoriska malmmineral. Blyglans, kopparkis och magnetkis har deformerats plastiskt men lokalt också boulangerit, meneghinit och zinkblände. Magnetit, arsenikkis och pyrit har deformerats sprött. Denna tydliga skillnad i kompetens har resulterat i att inkompetenta mineral ommobiliserats och kommit att fylla sprickor i de mer kompetenta mineralen. I massiva delar av mineraliseringen har denna skillnad även resulterat i en textur av kulmalmstyp. Granoblastisk omkristallisering är särskilt tydligt i magnetit och magnetkis, men även i grovkorniga aggregat av ilmenit. Vidare så förekommer dessa mineral liksom pyrit och arsenikkis ofta som euhedrala kristaller i mindre kompetent matrix. Inneslutningar av malmmineral i porfyroblastisk granat är vanligt förekommande. Geotermobarometri på arsenikkis och zinkblände gav temperatur och tryck på 525°C (mellan 440°C och ca. 590°C) och ca. 300-400 MPa, vilket överensstämmer med regional Svekokarelsk amfibolitfaciesmetamorfos. Förhållandena vid infångandet av synmetamorfa vätskeinneslutningar har uppskattats till en temperatur på ca. 440°C (mellan 400 och 600°C) och tryck på ca. 280 MPa. Merparten av de observerade texturerna är resultat av deformation och ommobilisering relaterad till de förhållanden som rådde under den Svekokarelska orogenesen. Ommobiliseringen av vissa mineral startades förmodligen redan under prograd metamorfos, vilket sedan följdes av mer omfattande modifikation under retrograda förhållanden, åtminstone till temperaturer under 200°C. Bildningen av sulfosalter reflekterar en utveckling från prograd till retrograd metamorfos där de flesta bildats under den senare, retrograda fasen, däribland de olika silvermineralen. Alla observationer resulterar sammantaget i tolkningen att Hornkullen är en regional-metamorft överpräglad och deformerad synvulkanisk Svekofennisk mineralisering.

Abstract:
This essay is a survey and a gender-theoretical study of Western Riders Association of Sweden(from here on: Wras) between 1982-2006. The purpose of the study is to contribute to equestrian historical research as well as gender historical research by examining Wras from a gender theoretical perspective. The aim is broken down to two research questions: • What did the organization, as well as collaboration with other organizations and authorities,look like in Wras between 1982-2006, and can this be connected to the gender structures within the association? • What was the gender structure in leading positions within Wras and in competitions held by the association between 1982 and 2006, and how did this change over time? The material in this paper consists of various documents from Wras, including documents from board meetings, results from competitions, magazines and letters. The study uses a combination of qualitative and quantitative method, as both were considered necessary to fulfil the purpose of the essay. In the qualitative study texts has been interpreted and analyzed. The quantitative study has collected the number of men and women in charts and based on these figures interpreted the result.The results of the study have been compared to Hirdman's theory of gender regarding gender segregation.The survey shows that when Wras was formed in 1982, the association was male-dominated.The association invested in educating the Swedish western riders. During the 1990s, Wras cooperated with several other organizations and authorities, which in some cases led to competition and some fragmentation between western riders.During the 1990s, more women became members in Wras, having leading positions and competed. The study shows that several competition classes were feminized and became female dominated when more and more women started to compete. This mainly applied to classes that within the rodeo was gender coded as feminine, or classes where assessment was on appearance and therefor required a well-groomed horse. The classes associated with the rough work on the ranches were given a male gender coding. In America, this division between classes and gender distinction had already taken place in the western riding and rodeo, and Sweden took notice. The result shows that Hirdman's theory of gender segregation can be applied to western riding where men and women are divided according to the characteristics they are considered to have.

Abstract:
In August 2014, parts of south-western Sweden were flooded due to intense precipitation. It caused large material damages and problems in the infrastructure. Since the sea surface temperature (SST) was higher than normal during the month, it was speculated that it was one of the reasons for the heavy precipitation. In this study, the Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model was used to simulate two of these extreme precipitation events. Nested domains with 25, 5 and 1 km resolutions were configured. In order to find the best model setup for this study, three different microphysics schemes: WRF singlemoment 3-class (WSM3), Thompson and Morrison, and two different cumulus schemes: Kain-Fritsch and Grell-3 were tested. The results were compared with observations with focus on evaluating the amounts, location and timing of the simulated precipitation. Furthermore, the sensitivity of precipitation to SST was investigated by changing the SST in the entire domain by +2 and -2ºC, compared to a reference simulation. The results showed that the WRF model was able to reproduce the maximum precipitation amounts, but not in the correct location. The timing of the precipitation was captured fairly well in the beginning of the simulations. Increased uncertainties with time indicate the importance of choosing a proper initialization time. Grell-3 cumulus scheme performed better than Kain-Fritsch, which often underestimated the precipitation. This was most pronounced for 5 and 1 km resolutions. The differences may be related to a better adaptation to finer grids in the Grell-3 scheme, e.g. by allowing subsidence effects to be spread also in the surrounding grid columns. It was also found that using cumulus scheme at 5 km was generally preferable, since the resolution was not high enough for treating the small scale convection explicitly. The results were not that sensitive to choice of microphysics scheme. This indicates that it, in some cases, may be enough to use the relatively simple WSM3 scheme that only represent precipitation as rain or snow, instead of the more sophisticated Thompson and Morrison schemes which describe also graupel and hail. Probably, the precipitation during the two chosen days did not involve hail or graupel, why this were not needed to be represented by the schemes. The simulated precipitation was highly sensitive to changes in SST. A 2ºC increase in SST led to an increase of precipitation of about 30-50 % in the most affected areas, which indicate that the relatively high SST in August, in combination with the present weather situation, may have contributed to the extreme precipitation amounts.
Augusti 2014 blev extremt regnig i sydvästra Sverige. För vissa platser i Halland och Västergötland var det den regnigaste kalendermånaden som någonsin observerats där. Under några av dagarna föll det extra stora regnmängder, med värden på över 90 mm under ett dygn, vilket är ganska ovanligt i Västra Götaland. Den högsta dygnsnederbördsmängden på 133,7 mm uppmättes i Hällum i Västergötland, vilket är det tionde högsta värdet i Sverige sedan 1961. Det spekulerades om att en tänkbar bidragande orsak till de kraftiga regnen var att ytvattentemperaturen i Västerhavet var högre än normalt. Nederbörden orsakade stora problem i samhället då många områden blev översvämmade. Det uppstod störningar i infrastrukturen och ett flertal människor fick sina hem förstörda. För att kunna förebygga eventuella faror och skador i samband med översvämningar är det viktigt med noggranna väderprognoser. I denna studie användes vädermodellen WRF (Weather, Research and Forecast) för att undersöka hur bra den kunde simulera nederbörden för två av dagarna då extrema nederbördsmängder observerades. Simuleringar gjordes för fyra domäner med upplösningarna 25, 5 och 1 km. För att beskriva processer som har med bland annat molnbildning och igångsättandet av nederbörd att göra använder sig modellen av mikrofysik- och cumulusscheman. Tester utfördes för tre olika mikrofysikscheman: WSM3 (WRF single-moment 3 class), Thompson och Morrison, och två cumulusscheman: Kain-Fritsch och Grell-3, för att hitta den bästa modelluppsättnignen för denna studie. Resultaten jämfördes med observationer med fokus på att utvärdera timingen, mängden och placeringen av den simulerade nederbörden. Vidare undersöktes hur känslig nederbörden var för en ändring i ytvattentemperatur genom att höja respektive sänka den med 2ºC, jämfört med en referenssimulering. Resultaten visade att WRF-modellen var bra på att återge de höga nederbördsmängderna, men inte på rätt plats. Timingen av nederbörden fångades ganska väl i början av simuleringarna, men blev sämre med tiden. Grell-3 cumulusschema presterade bättre än Kain-Fritsch, som oftare underskattade nederbörden. Skillnaderna var störst för upplösningarna 5 och 1 km. Anledningen till att Grell-3 var bättre kan vara att det är bättre anpassat för högre upplösningar. Cumulusschema brukar inte alltid behövas för upplösningar som är bättre än 10 km, eftersom modeller ofta kan beskriva processer som regnskurar ganska bra utan. I det här fallet var det generellt bättre att använda cumulusschema även vid en så pass hög upplösning som 5 km. Resultaten var inte så känsliga för olika val av mikrofysikschema. Det fungerade lika bra att använda det relativt enkla WSM3 som endast kan representera regn eller snö som nederbörd, jämfört med Thompson och Morrison som även kan beskriva olika typer av hagel. Antagligen kan det delvis förklaras med att det inte förekom hagel under de två valda dagarna. Den simulerade nederbörden var känslig för ändringar i ytvattentemperatur. En ökning med 2ºC ledde till att nederbörden ökade med ca 30-50 % i de mest drabbade områdena, vilket indikerar att den relativt höga havstemperaturen i augusti, i kombination med den rådande vädersituationen, kan ha bidragit till de extrema nederbördsmängderna.

Abstract:
The spotted fever group rickettsiae are emerging diseases. They cause damage in their hosts by invading the endothelium in small to medium-sized blood vessels, which results in vasculitis that can cause clinical manifestations from most organs. The present thesis describes the prevalence of Rickettsia helvetica in ticks, the incidence of rickettsial infection based on seroreactivity and seroconversion in humans and their symptoms, from different parts of Sweden and the Åland Islands in Finland. This was accomplished through serological analysis of both retrospective and prospective serum samples from confirmed and suspected tick-bitten individuals compared to individuals with no knowledge of tick exposure (blood donors). We found a comparable seroprevalence to Rickettsia spp. in different geographical areas where ticks are present; it was also comparable to the seroprevalence of Borrelia spp. Seroprevalence was also more common, as suspected, in the tick-exposed group compared to blood donors. In comparison with co-infections with other tick-borne infections (Anaplasma spp. and Borrelia spp.), we could conclude that co-infections do exist and that, based on clinical findings, it is difficult to distinguish which microorganism causes certain clinical manifestations. For reliable conclusions regarding the causative microorganism, the diagnosis should basically rely on diagnostic tests. In comparison with Borrelia spp., seroconversion to Rickettisa spp. was more common in the areas we investigated, indicating that rickettsiosis is a common tick-borne infection in Sweden and most likely underdiagnosed. When investigating patients with meningitis, we found R. felis in cerebrospinal fluid from two patients with subacute meningitis. This was the first report in which R. felis was found and diagnosed in patients in Sweden. The patients recovered without sequelae and without causal treatment. To provide guidelines on when to treat Rickettisa spp. infections, more investigations are needed. The present thesis shows that Rickettsia spp. are common in ticks and do infect humans. Rickettsial infection should be considered in both non-specific or specific symptoms after a tick bite. It was also shown in the thesis that flea-borne rickettsiosis (R. felis) occurs in Sweden and may cause invasive infections

Abstract:
Innovation contests have become a fruitful strategy to strive for innovation over the last decades. This study takes place in the context of an open access innovation contest in Sweden and Taiwan. Prior research shows a difference in the number of projects that continues after the event. Therefore, this research aims to find out how these events are organised and facilitated. A review of existing literature on project success identified four key areas of success and an ethnographic study that included the observation of project teams during innovation contests in Taipei and Stockholm showed that local adaption of the format contributes to the outcome of the event.

Abstract:
Western main line is one of the most important railway lines in Sweden. The line section from Stockholm to Katrineholm, which connects the largest cities of the Sweden i.e. Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmo¨, is studied. This line has heterogeneous train traffic consisting high-speed, regional, freight and commuter trains. This paper attempts to study different factors affecting punctuality on this railway line concentrating on traffic problem around Gnesta station and commuter train turn-back scenario — a bottleneck — at the same station. Simulation of existing and modified timetable is done using train traffic simulation software “Railsys”. Experiments including examining effect of rescheduling train timings, capacity enhancement and infrastructure changes in rail network are conducted and investigated. Robustness analysis is performed from the results of simulation and investigation of the consequences of delays and comparison of how different features in the timetables affect the robustness is done.

In ASME 1998 International Gas Turbine and Aeroengine Congress and Exhibition. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 1998. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/98-gt-201.

Full text
Abstract:
The GTX100 is the most recent industrial gas turbine in the ABB fleet. The development of the GTX100 turbine blading was a joint project involving four companies. A thorough evaluation of various design requirements resulted in the selection of a single shaft three-stage turbine configuration. The cooling techniques employed for the blading are based on the knowledge from the Russian school of design for gas turbines. These techniques have been verified by a considerable amount of experimental data and field experience over a number of years. To incorporate western manufacturing methods, western suppliers were introduced at an early stage in the development. Most of the engineering development of the turbine blading was carried out in Russia. In order to achieve efficient cooperation between Russia and Sweden, specialists from both companies were stationed at alternating companies. The verification of the turbine design is divided into two steps. The first step is cold and hot component testing and the second is the overall engine testing.

Abstract:
Tightly moored single-body floating devices are an important class of offshore wave energy converters. Examples are the devices under development at the University of Uppsala, Sweden, and Oregon State University, USA, prototypes of which were recently tested off the western coast of Sweden and off the Oregon coast, respectively. These devices are equipped with a linear electrical generator. The mooring system consists of a cable that is kept tight by a spring or equivalent device. This cable also prevents the buoy from drifting away by providing a horizontal restoring force. The horizontal and (to a lesser extent) the vertical restoring force are nonlinear functions of the vertical and horizontal displacements of the buoy, which makes the system a nonlinear one (even if the spring and damper are linear), whose modelling requires a time-domain analysis. Such an analysis is presented, preceded by a simpler frequency-domain approach. Numerical results (motions and absorbed power) are shown for a system consisting of a hemispherical buoy in regular and irregular waves, a tight mooring cable and a power take-off system consisting of a linear spring and a linear damper.
