n this contribution, it is described how the Fisher information can be computed by using adjoint field techniques, and integrated with the gradient calculations used for optimization in electrical impedance tomography. In particular, the Fisher information can be used as a preconditioner to obtain improved convergence properties and a regularization for quasi-Newton optimization algorithms in elec

The chapter on Sweden in this book on trade union revitalisation in 34 countries analyzes the Swedish model of industrial relations and its current challenges, among them the falling union density. The recent development of industrial relations is characterized in terms of a new mix of decentralisation and centralisation and of self-regulation and state regulation. Contents of the Swedish chapte

Popular Abstract in Swedish p-tert-Butylfenol-formaldehydharts (PTBP-F-R) är ett bindemedel som används i vissa limmer och målarfärger. Det har använts sedan 1950-talet och redan från denna tid finns rapporter om allergier. PTBP-F-R ingår i den internationella standardserien av kontaktallergen. Råvaror för framställning av hartset är p-tert-butylfenol och formaldehyd. Det färdiga hartset består avp-tert-Butylphenol-formaldehyde resin (PTBP-F-R) is used as a binder in many adhesive formulations and it consists of a complex mixture of substances, most of which are unknown. The resin has been reported to cause allergic contact dermatitis since the 1950s. The aim of the study was to investigate allergens in p-tert-butylphenol-formaldehyde resin (PTBP-F-R) and to isolate and identify sensitizer

Popular Abstract in Swedish Akut pankreatit. Med inriktning på aktiveringspeptiden från karboxypeptidas B (CAPAP) för prognostisering av svårighetsgraden.There is a wide range in the reported annual incidence of acute pancreatitis (AP). A minority of these patients develop a severe disease characterised by a high mortality and morbidity. In order to improve the outcome for patients with an attack of severe AP it is important to identify these patients early in the course of disease. A prediction of severity is especially important for selection of

Popular Abstract in Swedish Alfa1-antitrypsin (AAT) är ett skyddsprotein som bildas i levern och cirkulerar med blodet till kroppens alla organ. AAT skyddar vävnader mot nedbrytande enzymer, sk proteaser. AAT är således ett antiproteas och kallas ibland i engelskspråkiga tidskrifter alpha1-antiprotease. AAT:s viktigaste uppgift är att skydda lungvävnad mot nedbrytning. Nedbrytning av lungvävnad leHereditary alpha1-antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency predisposes to liver disease and emphysema. The aims of the studies upon which thesis is based were to investigate the natural course of lung function and risk factors for lung disease in AAT-deficient adolescents (PiZZ and PiSZ) and adults (PiZZ), and to study clinical manifestations in AAT-deficient adults. The adolescents were identified at the Swe
