Under the influence of the Citizenʼs Charter used in the United Kingdom many countries in Europe have started using different types of service agreements in order to improve the quality of public services. In Sweden these agreements usually are called Public Service Guarantees. The purpose of this article is to draw attention to some legal issues that might arise as a result of the use of a typica

The primary focus is on the identification and analysis of general problems in Swedish law relating to the competence of a municipality to enter into contracts, and the subsequent legal effects, in the light of the principles and rules of public and private law

This paper develops a novel sparse direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation technique that avoids the common requirement of hyperparameters, which are typically difficult to set suitably in practice. Using the presented minimum mean-square error (MMSE) estimation framework, we propose a computationally efficient super-resolution DOA estimator that is implemented using an alternate updating of the spa

Axillary lymphadenopathy is a common side effect of COVID-19 vaccination, leading to increased imaging-detected asymptomatic and symptomatic unilateral axillary lymphadenopathy. This has threatened to negatively impact the workflow of breast imaging services, leading to the release of ten recommendations by the European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) in August 2021.

Additionally, we aimed to develop a shorter form for the children to measure their anxiety when thinking of their risk of developing type 1 diabetes, which could be used in The Environmental Determinan

Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is linked to an increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) burden. Albeit underappreciated, sex differences are evident in CKD with females being more prone to CKD development, but males progressing more rapidly to kidney failure (KF). Cardiovascular remodelling is a hallmark of CKD with increased arterial and valvular calcification contributing to CKD. However
