In this paper we report from a research project exploring the reasons behind why Swedish domestically invented patents end up being owned a foreign company. Based on survey data, we find that the majority of inventors behind these foreign-owned patents are professional inventors who have a relatively high amount of patent experience. They are also highly educated with about one third of the respon

Old bodies – new technologies The biomedical development means a better quality of life for many people. The medical possibilities are, however, not unproblematic. There are ethical and cultural matter to consider, e.g. biomedicine calls for existential questions about the right of human beings to intervene in nature.

Design is often described as a profession where the result of the work is future oriented. Herbert Simon defined it as work that aims at “changing existing situations into preferred ones” . This may refer to a design process where the result can be very unpredictable even if the goal is thoroughly outlined. David Pye has portrayed this performance as “workmanship of risk” which differs from “workm
Atmosfäriska partiklar (aerosoler) finns överallt i jordens atmosfär. Masskoncentrationen av dessa varierar kraftigt beroende på i vilken miljö man mäter. I stadsluft kan man uppmäta tiotals mikrogram per kubikmeter medan man i arktiska områden uppmäter nanogram per kubikmeter. De kolhaltiga aerosolerna är kända för att påverka människors och djurs hälsa negativt, framförallt påverkar dessa kroppe
Quality of supply regulations are today in use in a large number of countries. While these regu-lations are likely to decrease the direct economical consequences from power outages it is less clear to what extent they take into account the societal criticality of consumers. In order to advance knowledge in this area, two different ways of estimating consequences of power outages are here contraste
The steps involved in the grafting of mesencephalic and septal embryonic tissue in the form of dissociated cell suspensions are described in detail. This includes dissection of the donor embryos, incubation in trypsin, mechanical dissociation, and stereotaxic injection into the brains of adult recipient rats. Some of the technical problems and limitations are discussed.
