More effective drugs with new technology – forskning.se

The work, performed in Torbjorn Grass Lund research team at KTH, has for years been the focus of Johan Seijsing as part of his doctoral work, and builds on the knowledge of protein receptors.

– Our results are based on the research previously done on a receptor, a protein that sits in our cells. This receptor called FcRn is in charge of the transfer of antibodies from the mother and fetus so that the fetus has a working immune system at birth. The receptor fulfills the same function later during lactation. In adulthood lengthens the time that the immune system’s antibodies circulating in the blood, says Johan Seijsing, who works in the Department of Protein Technology at KTH

He continues to tell me that it is this feature of the receptor, he and the other KTH researchers utilize to make drugs more effective.

– You could say that the receptor is a bit of a drug manufacturer’s Holy Grail. It is found in the principle of the whole body, but especially as it is found in the veins, which is the most important thing in this case. What we have done is to test the billions of small proteins called affibody molecules to sift out the best version that attaches to the receptor. This molecule, protein tag, can then be combined with various protein drugs, says John Seijsing.

What would the results of the research could lead to? Well, drugs with longer half-life in the body. That is, they stay longer in the blood and appear longer, which means that the patient does not need to take new syringes with drugs as often as before.

– Protein drug needs to be injected, and our small protein tag can be linked to an existing drug. So the first step we have achieved, and proved that it is feasible, is that patients do not need to inject the drug as often as before, says Johan Seijsing.

He says that he and the other the researchers hope to be able to contribute to the future of medicine.

– That said, protein drugs have so far not been able to put into the form as a pill, as an aspirin. We hope to contribute to protein drugs, both are to be eaten in pill form or even inhaled. The receptor is also in the lungs and intestines, says Johan Seijsing.

Which diagnoses, research can then hopefully be significant for? Torbjörn Gräslund, senior lecturer in the Department of Protein Technology at KTH, mentioning among other treatment for short stature, hemophilia, cancer and diabetes. Diseases for which there is an imbalance regarding hormones and where frequent injections required are particularly relevant.

– The research findings and technologies are general and can pretty much be used for many different drugs, says Torbjörn Gräslund.

He concludes by saying that a patient taking a drug every day with their protein tag that said, expect to have to inject themselves far more often.

– Thus, patients are less likely to have nasty side effects of uneven concentrations. The research results also opens up to create entirely new drugs of proteins that are known to have an effect, but stops for a short time in the body in its unmodified form, says Torbjörn Gräslund.

KTH researchers just got an article about the research published in the US journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, PNAS. Here are the article .

Fair to nuclear power to bear its own costs “- New Technology

     Ny Teknik’s readers thought about the Energy Minister Ibrahim Baylans view that Sweden will eventually have 100 percent renewable energy. Pictured enjoying some of the sun with closed Barsebäck in the background. Photo: TT
     

READER COMMENTS. Can nuclear power be replaced? And why should the state subsidize wind power? Ny Teknik’s interview with Ibrahim Baylan sparked readers’ debate desire.

Energy Minister Ibrahim Baylans goal to Sweden will eventually have 100 percent renewable energy gets met with opposition among the magazine’s readers. So far, the article has received 170 reader comments on the web.

Signature Carl suggests that renewables have a lot of emissions before they begin to produce energy. Nuclear power is here to stay, he says, and writes: “Invest in some generation IV reactors by 2030 instead” .

Signature Eco is on the same track and writes:” Transition to renewable only is just nonsense “. Eko pointing to Germany as an example of its decommissioning plans for nuclear power. Their power can only be replaced in terms of power with as much fossil fuels as coal and gas, Eco writes.

Even Ibrahim Baylans desire to strengthen certificates under criticism. The signature Panoptes writes that wind energy today is only possible thanks to the certificates which are subsidies. “ For the state, it is practical with the certificates. They do not cost the Treasury anything, they are not visible on the electric bill and it does not lead to any budget discussions, because the result of the certificates is zero for the Treasury. For us consumers, this means that almost 5 billion used to make electricity generation less efficient, money wasted , “writes Panoptes.

Signature Engineers and laborer lacks technology news of Ibrahim Baylans visions. All for great deals instead of tax increases, consider this reader.

But energy minister also get credit for their willingness to replace nuclear power.

Benkt Högstedt believes that Ibrahim Baylan right. “ It is very reasonable to nuclear power to bear their own costs. But more is not final disposal understood and hence its cost of what I can understand. , “he writes.

The bag gets its judgment on Friday – New Technology

A maximum for the use of plastic bags, or a fee per bag. On Friday, the EU takes decisions to reduce use.

In the EU, we use 100 billion plastic bags year, more than 500 billion worldwide.

We Europeans are using the plastic bag on average for 20 minutes. Then it goes into the trash and go to incineration.

But not all. An estimated 8 billion bags end up in the environment or in the sea. During the long time it takes to break down the bag has time to do it great harm.

The European Commission wants down consumption from the average 200 bags per citizen per year to 90 in 2019 and 45 in 2025. On Friday, the Member States to decide whether they want to put specific limits on the use or whether to impose penalties on the bags from 2017.

When Ireland imposed penalties on plastic bags in 2002 decreased use 90 percent. Today, the consumption of 18 bags per Irishman. In Sweden, we use 111 bags of inhabitants, the average for the EU is 198. Bulgaria leads the league with 421 bags per inhabitant per year.

More expensive to study engineering in Vaxjo – Smålandsposten

Today 06:14 | Updated today 06:16

It is cheaper to study nursing but more expensive to study science. Now the new tuition fees for non-EEA students blocked.

Humanities / Social Sciences / Law: 85 000 SEK / year (previously SEK 75 000)
Science / Technology / Pharmacy 130 000 / year. (125 000)
Care: 140 000 / year. (165 000)
Design / Music: 260 000 SEK / year. (260 000)
Medical / Sport 170 000 / year. (165 000)
Source: Linnaeus University

Since 2011, the Swedish universities receive full cost recovery for students who do not the citizen is in any EEA country or Switzerland. Linnaeus University has had the same tuition fees since then, but as of this fall changed the charges.
– We have lagged behind, in fact, the fees shall be increased each year but there is a large administrative apparatus. The overall cost position has also increased, said admissions officer Stefan Haglund at LNU.
The fees will also cover university costs such as administration and recruitment efforts abroad. The reason that certain fees are reduced, as nursing programs, is to put the flat-rate fees in 2011.
– We do not care courses in English, the chance of paying foreign students to show up there is small.
Is it the right way going to raise prices if they want to attract more students?
– It is never good to be the cheapest in its class, price and quality must hang together, says Stefan Haglund.

So the Ducks Nokia Microsoft mobile ban – New Technology

When Microsoft bought Nokia mobiles was an agreement that prevented the “residual-Nokia” to use the Nokia brand phones. How does this with Nokia’s new tablet?

In April earlier this year became the sales of Nokia mobiles to Microsoft for $ 7.2 billion ready. The deal was an agreement in which the “residual-Nokia” undertook not to use the Nokia vaurmärke for mobiles with Nokia brand for two years. About as many of us in the media understood the agreement.

So how can Nokia starts selling the mobile tablet N1 with the Nokia brand? It is true that Taiwanese Foxconn, which licensed the brand and stands for manufacturing and marketing, yet

So here it is, according to Nokia’s press service :

“According to our agreement with Microsoft, Nokia can not licensing its brand for smartphones until 2016 ‘ , writes Robert Morlino on Nokia Technologies.

And my follow-up question “But the agreement does not apply tablets,” answers He quickly: “That’s correct” .

BMW i5 at once – with technology that Tesla Chief condemns – Auto Motor & Sport

BMW borrows technology from Toyota to build new fuel cell vehicle i5. It now remains to see who of the German premium manufacturers who have time first to market with a hydrogen car: BMW with new i5 or Mercedes with a fuel cell powered B-Class?

By Erik Soderholm , Yesterday, 18:58

Our illustrator imagines that BMW i5 basically becomes an extension of the i3 with the “real” back doors. Under the hood is the fuel cell technology from Toyota. Illustration: Schulte Design

  

After city car i3 and sports hybrid i8 will BMW to launch yet another model – this time with the name of the i5, and as reported to Autocar, it becomes a fuel cell vehicle.

Given partnership with Toyota is not particularly surprising that BMW is investing in fuel cells. The idea is that BMW i5 gets a modified version of the fuel cell system in the new Toyota FCV.

Both Toyota and Honda is now investing heavily in hydrogen and fuel cells. Even Hyundai has a fuel-cell version of the ix35. BMW was among the Hydrogen 7, but then stalled the development of the BMW – until now.

The new hydrogen powered model from BMW will probably end up in the same size class as the Mercedes B-Class or just above.

But even though hydrogen is much faster refueling than to charge an electric car, and even though in many cases it may be easier to build a gas station with the ability to refuel hydrogen than building a fast charge station for electric cars, the technology has also many critics. One of them is the Tesla boss Elon Musk.

“Oh my god, fuel cells are just bullshit. And hydrogen is quite dangerous. It fits in the top of the rockets, but not in cars,” he said at an appearance in Germany last year, and said that electric cars with lithium ion batteries are much better, and above all, cheaper.

Your telephone habits can be downright hazardous – Nyheter24

News A new study shows that your phone habits can lead to back pain and a variety of other medical problems.

That man likes texting is hardly a secret. Now a new study shows that too much button of the handset leads to back pain, writes CBS News.

Scientists have spoken with Kenneth Hansraj , director of spine surgery at a rehabilitation center in New York who contributed to the study.

Bends too much

Man is designed to stand upright, but in modern society we live in, we spend too much time with our heads down on the mobile screen.

We are an average of two to four hours per day with our necks bent at an unnatural angle. There are 700 to 1400 hours per year. The increased use of social media has led to a strong spread of the poor “smartphone” approach.

Selfies can damage your back

A full-grown head weighs four to five kilograms. The study shows that when you bend your head at 60 degrees, perhaps to double check selfien you like to post on Instagram, is a pressure of up to 27 kg on the cervical spine and the spine above the shoulders.

It is possible compared with the average weight of a seven year-old.

Bad posture can lead to mental illness

People with poor posture often have poorer physical and mental health. The researchers behind the study claim that “poor posture” occurs when the head is in an inclined position forward and the shoulders dropped forward in a rounded position, reports CBS News.

Poor posture has been linked to a number of medical problems, including headaches and other neurological problems, depression, constipation- and heart disease.

So cut the fraudsters your bank ID in three stages – Aftonbladet

With the help of a false identity document and Bank ID can be criminals to empty bank accounts.

Currently there is no protection for consumers.

– For the affected, it is obviously devastating, says Johan Eriksson, CEO of Financial ID technology, to Dagens Industri.

There are in Sweden six million users of e -legitimationen Bank ID. They can get rid of money because of a security hole in the agreements are for the service.

How does the fraud work?

The first step obtains an imposter a false identity document; for example, via the network, with its own photo but with the intended victim’s data.

With the identification document, the person can then open a bank account and a regular acquire Bank ID. The scammer can with it then login to other bank accounts linked to the hijacked identity and transfer money to other accounts, writes DI.

Agreement open to fraud

E-Papers Bank ids to work as an ordinary identifier – everywhere. This means that in the present situation is not going to block the use of it.

Behind Bank ID is banking consortium Financial ID technology owned by seven major banks. The identification issued today by twelve Swedish banks.

The agreements related to the service requires that a bank ID issued by a bank must not be blocked by the other deltagarbankerna. Thus open to fraud by identity thieves.

– Previously, this type of crime non-existent, and it is still at low levels. But the past year has increased, and for those affected is obviously devastating, says Johan Eriksson, CEO of Financial ID technology, to Dagens Industri.

‘More bank transparency’

The Internet Infrastructure Foundation, .SE, find it strange that consumers themselves can not turn off the Bank ID. They believe that control must be in the users’ hands.

Press manager at .SE, Anne-Marie Eklund-Löwinder, according to Bank id is “a reasonably safe solution” but no technical solution can protect customers of keys and access codes issued to the wrong people.

She also calls for more transparency from the banks, many of which did not wish to answer the DI questions about cyber security.

– You can describe how it makes and how it’s supposed, but to recognize its weaknesses. It would be useful and it would be good for their confidence, said Anne-Marie Eklund-Löwinder DI.

The mysterious vocals of Rosetta’s Comet – New Technology

     Rosetta comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko said to sing, something that scientists are not expected. Photo: ESA
     

There comes a mysterious signal from the comet as Rosetta’s lander sits on.
– This is brand new for us, says Karl-Heinz Glas Meier at Braunschweig University of Technology in Germany.

     Rosetta’s lander Philae has a panoramic image from the comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The black bar in the middle because the Philae can not shoot itself in the taking of a panoramic image. Soon, Rosetta’s lander out of energy. Photo: TT

The comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko was joined by the lander Philea on Wednesday after years of planning. The lander bounced three times and stood on the edge, but ESA considers that the operation was a huge success and went as planned.

One thing they were not planned was that the comet 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko has started to “talk” and “sing,” writes ABC Science.

The ESA has picked up a mysterious signal that appears to come from the comet, which can be interpreted as – a song.

There are five instruments (Rosetta Plasma Consortium), which measures the plasma around the comet to increase understanding of the variations in the activity.

But when the researchers recorded signals with frequencies of 40-50 millihertz so they stumbled over a total surprise. 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko uttered sound.

– This is exciting because it is completely new to us. We were not expecting this and are still working on understanding the physics around what is happening, says Karl-Heinz Glas Meier at Braunschweig University of Technology in Germany to ABC Science.

Apparently it seems the comet’s weak magnetic fields oscillate up and down at low frequencies. For it to be audible to the human ear, so the researchers increased the frequency of 10,000 times.

The researchers’ theory is that the oscillations may arise from the ionization of neutral particles from the exhaust of gases.

New technology provides attachment for lightweights – New Technology

     Gunnar Nygren shows a new method for joining different materials. Photo: Fredrik Karlsson
     

When different materials to snap to each other difficulties arise. A new technology marries together aluminum and steel in a lättviktsbil.

car manufacturers challenge will be to make vehicles easier and easier. It is required that the cars should be fuel efficient and not as environmentally unfriendly.

One solution is to mix different materials: aluminum, steel and composites .

– It is often difficult to join materials. But we have a new technology for this, says Gunnar Nygren, sales engineer at the company EJO & amp; Avdel, which attracted many curious Elmia Subcontractor.

The method, which they call Ejoweld, has been developed in conjunction with Audi but released to rest of the market by year-end.

Instead of a heavy, welded beam compression molded sheet.

- We can get aluminum to attach the high-strength steel with up to 1,800 megapascals, says Gunnar Nygren.

The method is based on friction welding. Boron steel cuts through the material but no heat is not anything other than the friction.

The company will also be presenting another product: the specially designed screw EJOT FDS, which requires no förstansning.

Both the screw and Ejoweld are new methods of material combinations for lightweight construction and suitable for automated production within the manufacturing industry.

EJO & amp; Avdel is a German company, established in Sweden. They are whole suppliers of equipment and components and work as consultants in projects with customers.

Students warned of deadly drug – Norrtelje Newspaper

– The latest developments with the spice is alarming. It says Christer Hofström as Friday was, and met students at Norrtelje technology and Naturbruksgymnasiet.

Chris Hofström is Sweden’s only private Drug dog handlers. He previously worked 20 years in the penitentiary, but now he has his own company and get many assignments for treatment centers where employees suspect that there are drugs. As much as Chris Hofström loves her five furry friends he hates drugs.

On Friday he chance to show off their dogs and as he told of drug use prior to 40 students, of which a few of them go on the this program with specialization dog. At his side had Chris Hofström besides their dogs even Somchat Logren. The two met 12 years ago when Somchat was inside a heavy addiction.
– It was peer pressure that got me to start taking drugs. I believe that the mechanisms to start is the same today, says Somchat who have only vague memories of their first meeting.
Chris remembers it more clearly.
– We would steer a brawl where Somchat was involved. Even though we were two and considerably larger than Somchat he was almost impossible to take down when he was in a psychosis. But in the end we got the handcuffs on him.

And now they are out of school together. A drug that has been heavily on the rise in recent times is the spice that claimed several casualties in recent times.
– I found my first spice bags eight years ago, and after that it has only gotten more. There are always new compounds that we do not know what they contain. Today’s youth are guinea pigs for this drug, says Christer Hofström and states:
– There are no happy addict.

After the lecture, Christer’s two active drug dogs show what they go for. First conducted drug dog Liby a pager in the classroom and then it was the Labrador Pimpims luck searching through the workshop. Of course, with good results.
– My ambition is to visit more schools. Not to make targeted search, but more to inform about these issues.

For Erika Sandgren , one of the pupils at Norrtelje technology and Naturbruksgymnasiet targeting dog day was rewarding .
– It was interesting, I would love to work as a dog handler in the customs service in the future.

Ericsson – a television giant quietly – Swedish Dagbladet

It is well known to the great challenges that the world’s media companies face is a technology shift. TV companies must now be able to reach their audiences on platforms that do not even exist a few years ago, and common to all is that the new platforms accessed via mobile or fixed broadband, which of course is Ericsson’s home.

The Company have the last seven years spent billions on companies in the field of television technology. These include purchase of Mediaroom from Microsoft last year, and the acquisition of Red Bee who handles much of the technology for the British TV companies. Swedish TV4′s one of the hundreds of TV channels that currently utilize Ericsson’s technology. In total, around 5,000 people at Ericsson today in the TV area.

– When we started this in 2007 it was very much about helping pay-TV companies and telephone companies, with technology to effectively get out programs on different platforms. Now it’s more about that we help traditional broadcasters with their broadcasts, but we have contact with all actors in the television world and everyone has different needs during this major transition, says Simon Frost, marketing and communications manager for Ericsson TV ventures.

No real competitor is not, he points out.

– If you just look at the platforms for delivering TV content as well Cisco (American networks sixth) a competitor. But it’s about helping TV companies with all of their services, we actually have no serious rival.

Two-thirds of Ericsson’s revenues come from services today (services) and software. It is commonly associated with the company – mobile broadband – accounts for a smaller portion.

Supreme Commander: “Submarine Analyses must continue” – New Technology

Armed Forces’ work in reviewing the evidence continues submarine. A deeper analysis of the traces of a mini submarine and the other observations should now be done. One question is how the sub disappeared from the Stockholm archipelago.

The Armed Forces will now work on analyzing traces of a mini-submarine of unknown nationality who violated Swedish waters.

Supreme Commander Sverker Goranson mentioned at today’s crowded press conference at Rosenbad to have secure evidence that a mini submarine from foreign powers violated Swedish waters.

According to Rear Admiral Anders Grenstad, who led the Navy’s intelligence operation in October, the noted mini submarine greater than ten meters.

Meanwhile described also be smaller than a conventional submarine, which is normally about 60-70 feet long.

The track at the bottom as the Armed Forces today showed pictures of, says Anders Grenstad, resembling no other known tracks or footprints, such as tracks from a grapnel or the like:

That’s something that moved on the ground, and there are no similar tracks.

What is the surest proof you have that it’s about a midget submarine, it is a sonar observation?

I’m not saying it’s a sonar observation or anything, but it is a technical system that we have that with 100 percent hit though it’s a mini-submarine, says Anders Grenstad.

Is it a fixed sensor?

I do not want to speculate on that.

The Armed Forces have not been able to determine from which foreign power sub’s derived from.

-All major nations have opportunities to conduct operations with mini submarines, but we have not been able to determine its nationality, notes Grenstad.

Supreme Commander Sverker Goranson was in day care to emphasize that the analysis will continue.

Notification The operation started on October 17 and lasted eight days. Anders Grenstad does not want to go into when exactly during these days that the Armed Forces ruled that there was a submarine on Swedish territory.

It was sometime during those eight days, I will not go into any day.

Sverker Goranson do not want to speculate on what a foreign submarine may have had for the mission.

Another question is how the sub disappeared from the archipelago and then also from the Swedish territorial waters farther out on the Baltic Sea.

According to an inside source, a mini submarine basically self able to cross the Baltic Sea. But it would in principle have exhausted all resources on board.

reason seems such a scenario as unlikely. Instead, the source said, is the most likely at this sort of thing that there is a support vessel at hand.

Anders Grenstad could today At the press conference did not explain how the sub disappeared or took away from Swedish waters.

Could it have gotten away with their own machine? How long distances can take?

Yeah, I do not know how the technology has evolved. We know how the mini submarines have acted in the past, that is, we have assumed that someone must have dragged them here in any way.

A Russian oil tanker lay still outside the Swedish border when the submarine hunt going on. Can the sub’s have had a support ship?

I make no such speculation, there may be technology that allows one can go a long way with smaller ships, but I do not want to speculate on where the sub’s will, says Anders Grenstad.

The Armed Forces have also received against two different observations of submarine bodies that you see are underwater and described have specific details.

In addition, the image of a craft similar to a submarine that the Armed Forces announced earlier. According to the Supreme Commander keeps the craft about 1 knots and disappears after a while beneath the surface. While the white foam on the surface, bogsvallet, characterizes a submarine, he said.

In addition, a Navy “a sharp observation” from a sonar on one of its vessels, as Supreme Commander.

But these observations are not designated as being as safe as the technical evidence we have on that a mini submarine eluded the Swedish submarine hunters in the Stockholm archipelago.

BMW electric car charging in the lamppost – New Technology

BMW has developed a lamp post with integrated charging socket. The technology will be tested in Munich.

     BMW wants to replace conventional streetlights against poles that provide both light and charge the electric car.

     BMW’s lyktstolpsladdare.

Replace an ordinary light pole against a lamp post with integrated charging socket. This allows the infrastructure for electric car chargers to be expanded quickly and smoothly. So reason the German car manufacturer BMW, which has developed the combined lykt- and charging post Light and charge.

So far two prototypes in operation at BMW’s headquarters in Munich. Spring 2015 will start a larger pilot test in the city.

The lantern may have one, two or four LED modules to give light to the streets as well as major thoroughfares. But to replace a regular post with the new technology, there must be a suitable place to park.

BMW has developed several rechargeable cars including the all-electric i3 and i8 plug-in hybrid.

car giant is not alone in wanting to take advantage of the existing network of lampposts to charge electric cars . An article on nyteknik.se last summer describes a solution from the Swedish company Liros power solution. There is a finished loading module that can be mounted on standard light fixtures.

Taste of the recipe for the industry – New Technology

     Guest columnist wants, as Leif Mannerström, please try the finishing touch for the future of the industry. Photo: TT
     

CHRONICLE. In relation to the industry’s importance to Sweden appears relatively little media coverage. Visual industry so it is often closures, work or competition with low-cost countries.

     Anders Ekdahl is CEO of Swedish Industry SINF and chairman of the think tank dispenser Bucket.

Instead, it is most easily tradable sectors and the so-called creative industries is visible.

Does it mean that the industry is not is creative? No, not at all, but when TV’s programming schedule filled with “Master Chef of the Year”, “Best grill master,” “Baker of the Year” and when Ernst’s summer programs have food and recipes watchwords industry may resort to the same methods. So we welcome the new government that will lead Sweden to come with their very own “industry recipes”.

Here are the ingredients, dosage leave we to prospective industry minister. The inspiration can be downloaded from the German Industry 4.0, re-industrialization of Britain with a strong focus on the automotive industry or among factory owners in Gnosjöregionen.

Recruitment. The education system needs to be adapted to the needs of industry. The larger companies able to share to support themselves with new employees. The small and medium-sized businesses need flexible training with faster delivery time. UAS system is too blunt and sluggish. Maintain payroll tax reductions for younger employees that help them get to work.

Innovation. Regardless of company size needed new ideas that develop products and streamlining production. A close cooperation between industry and research in universities and colleges is increasing the pace of innovation. Make it easy for companies to take part in programs that support the development.

Internationalization. The vast majority of the industry’s output is in an end product that is exported, but more companies need to export directly. The small and medium-sized businesses do not have the resources to reach out themselves. Showcase “Industrial Land Sweden” in international affairs. The need for an international “road show” in Swedish industrial companies.

Venture Capital. About half of the smaller and medium-sized industrial enterprises in need of generational change in the ownership ranks. A difficult and costly step. Make an inventory of the skills available in the companies that are in need of new owners. We need venture capital to maintain production, turn the skills and developing new business.

We would obviously be able to spice up the whole finishing touch with the energy issue but it is a major ingredient in a larger context.

Is there any doubt about how this should taste so mooch we like before serving. Just like Leif Mannerström we are experts in our field.

Operator new tools are digital – New Technology

Paper and binders are often the operators’ primary tool. New technologies rarely reach out on the production floor. But several new tools are moving through various initiatives.

Swedish industry is often said to be world class . Automated, efficient and high level of technology.

But operators seem to have been forgotten as the industry developed.

- It’s very often jams in folders in an office far away. These include job descriptions and fault reports, says Camilla Grane, lecturer in engineering psychology at Luleå University.

She leads the project “Future Operator “, a collaboration between Chalmers, Luleå University and Swedish industry, financed by Vinnova.

– The goal was to identify common needs for Swedish industry. Then the solutions of real benefit, says Camilla Grane.

The first step was to accompany operators out to observe them in action.

– We saw that the operators lack much of the day. There was a need to continue working to develop a whole new toolbox for them.

The solution has various apps. A smart phone, the operator can always have with you, unlike a binder. And when the information is digitized, it also becomes searchable.

Work Instructions can easily be picked up on the phone. Although service request can be made via an app. All items are tagged and can be scanned by. Since there are already a lot of basic information that becomes available.

Another example is to take care of Supervisors through the phone. It can also be done by scanning an item’s RFID tag or a qr code to obtain the information contained in the system.

concentrator at Aitik has been involved in the project and have an interest in using the technology.

– We have a need to document patrols in an easy and safe way. This allows apps to be a good way. But there must be a product that we can buy, so we hope it will, says Kjell-Arne Johansson, a technical adviser at Aitik.

The apps are not out on the market, but is owned by Future project operator. A commercialization are included in the plans for the next step. The project is awaiting clearance from VINNOVA for funding of two years on app development.

Operators used as a generic name for a variety of roles, such as machine operators , electrical workers or assemblers. And it may be in different types of activities, from engineering to process.

– A goal has been to make it cross-industry, because there are many with similar needs with individual work, Camilla Grane.

Another industrial company, a classic subcontractor who wanted their digital work instructions, turned to the consultant Novotek.

Novotek are distributors of Proficy Workflow, a software from GE’s Intelligent Platforms . With the software they ensure that automate manual workflows and the right person gets the right information at the right time.

However, it was problematic to use computer or tablet with lego manufacturer.

– After visiting the customer was our challenge to find ways to project information, said Thomas Lundqvist.

When hatched the idea of ​​Google Ice Cream, ordered a few, programmed and …

- It went much better than we dared hope for, says Jens Molin, head of business development.

Novotek received an award from the fair Scanautomatic and Process Technology for the year’s new product.

They present a solution for the customer where someone will To get instructions on a computer, another on a tablet, and a third through the glasses – but no paper is used.

Swedish company Penny in Västerås was actually before Google Ice Cream and are now ready to astound the world with more advanced technology in collaboration with computer manufacturer Dell. Their glasses are designed for industrial applications.

– We have spent an incredible amount of gunpowder technology development. The product should be soundless and hands. You control with your head and click with the jaw, explains Erik Lundström, CEO and founder of Penny.

Initial interest from both industry and military.

How is journalism when the media is acting venture capitalists? – Swedish Dagbladet

Recently released SvD’s owner Schibsted his future report, a kind of position paper like the New York Times published this spring.

Already in the fifth line says Rolv Erik Ryssdal, CEO of Schibsted, it is increasingly obvious: Schibsted is no longer a media company. The printing house which Christian Schibsted, schooled in typography during childhood in an orphanage, founded in 1839 call themselves “international online player.” In Schibsted Growth gather growth rockets have everything online but little with the media to do.

The traditional newspaper business, as the years donated media companies and their owners money and sublimity, has not much to offer. Instead, media companies glances away from their now trouble-ridden print roots and seek out all that is “digitally and scalable.”

It is not only happening on the top group. Even further down the corporate hierarchy are pure media company to transform into a kind of digital factotum company.

expert newspaper giant will speculate on start-up companies. The investments are not paid with money from Bonnier News paid for with advertising space in its
newspapers.

A week after Schibsted’s report came out took Bonnier News, the very essence of Bonnier journalistic mission consisting of the Group’s Swedish newspapers, another leap from the core business. Previously, they had bought into the so-called partner companies Insplanet, Fakturino and Hittahem as sites Garantibil, Lånbyte, Betalo and Weatherpal. Now came the news that Bonnier News “starts venture capital firms.”

In practice, Bonnier News invested in the start-up NFT Ventures, as with the grand ambition of finding the future of Klarna will buy minority stakes of one to fifteen million in financial services online.

So far Bonnier News the only investor. Newspaper giant will, through the fund and on your own, speculate on startup companies. The investments are not paid with money from Bonnier News paid for with advertising space in its magazines.

The new köpivern explained by Bonnier CEO Tomas Franzén’s “profound strategic review,” which began when he took office. According to this, Bonnier News missions in the coming years “radically increase the proportion of revenues coming from areas with sustainable growth,” emerges in a press release.

It says something about Bonnier belief journalism in the long run. Bonnier News, the symbol of the group’s admirable ambition to actually be a media company, will be both novelty factory and venture capitalist. The plan seems to be that companies today is partly financed by the newspapers in the future to some extent to finance the papers.

Strategically, it is probably wise thought. The money must come from somewhere in the future. The revenue that is lost in one direction must be compensated otherwise. But it would be naive to think that it can be done without risk to journalism.

The first risk is financial. To stop at Bonnier News, is the risk that the company NFT Ventures invests in are not the future of Klarna company hoped for. “Financial services online” is an attractive niche but no self-evident success. It is a venture capital company nature that, at best, few efforts succeed.

Let’s say that either company still gets a “future Klarna” so great that it justifies both the writings and reviews. How would the newspapers that own the company then react to it?

The problem is equally true Schibsted and other media companies (or “internet players”). SvD Business did last spring, an acclaimed examination of just Klarna. Had it been as obvious to examine whether it was owned by Schibsted?

Most reporters would probably answer yes to the question – the journalistic instinct permits otherwise. Most publishers, to which the editorial power belong to, as well.

However, the issue becomes more complicated when the media become part of powerful organizations of other companies that fall within the scope of what should be examined. Although the new structure does not create real problems – journalists allow themselves rarely defeated – it will certainly create credibility problems.

It is important that the media and emerging companies, in synergy the age, are kept separated. For example, the company Schibsted, Bonnier Growth or Growth Media, Bonnier’s better-known growth companies. But the trend is the opposite: Many media companies are buying commercial companies or parts of them, to integrate in the publishing supply.

The point is to add new services tailored to the media consumer is interested in – mortgages, jobs, pension, weather – and make money from them. Newspaper The directors argue that the same principle applies to “partner companies” that advertisers: that of the watertight bulkhead between editorial and commercial.

But it is obvious to a reporter, it is perhaps not to a reader. Credibility problems are also problems.

The question is also where the new liberal takeover frenzy of the media. Should individual broadcasters invest in gaming sites? Or book publishers in the food? The boundaries of what we find unlikely move.

It’s one thing to make money on the internet, another to make money in journalism. If the new revenue to fund journalism without independence is damaged, it is good. But the risk is that the news business, when they are losing ground in the group, eventually becoming marginalized outposts in the giant Internet company.

It is good and necessary that the media companies are not sitting still without chasing new revenue. But the question is where the hunt leads them, and whose problem they want to solve – the shareholders or journalism?

Junk DNA “new weapon against childhood cancer – New Technology

“junk DNA” may play an important role in the fight against serious disease cancer neuroblastoma in children. Behind the discovery is Swedish researchers.

Neuroblastoma (nerve tissue tumors) is the third most common type of cancer in children. In Sweden hit about 20 children per year. Most people diagnosed before the age of two. Now Swedish researchers discovered that what was previously classified as “junk DNA” may play an important role in both the diagnosis of the disease and to determine how it should be treated.

Vi humans have about 20,000 genes, each of which produces a protein. But the vast majority of our genome does not. The majority (98.5 percent) has previously been called junk DNA. But as the new equipment to analyze our DNA has come on the market, researchers have discovered that it is not about rubbish but of genes that contain the blueprints for thousands of small and long molecules, which do not produce proteins without performing other important biological functions . These include NBAT-1 present in the cancer cell.

– Our studies show that neuroblastoma patients have lower levels of the molecule also has a worse prognosis, and therefore may need tougher treatment. The molecule could therefore be used both to assess the prognosis and in planning how aggressive neuroblastoma should be treated, says Professor Chandrasekhar Kanduri at the Sahlgrenska Academy at Göteborg University.

The discovery was made in collaboration with researchers at the Karolinska Institute and Uppsala University. Scientists have analyzed neuroblastoma tumors from 108 Swedish children. Next, they tested the levels of NBAT-1 in a larger material of tumor cells collected from children in Belgium, Germany, Israel, Italy, Spain, UK and USA. The results have been published in the scientific journal Cancer Cell.

It is hoped that the molecule itself will eventually become a target for new drugs .

Mobiles from Xiaomi under investigation – New Technology

     It is Xiaomis latest model Redmi 1S as security consultants warn.

Investigations are underway in several countries around how secure Chinese Xiaomis new mobile is. But according to F-Secure, the problems are fixed.

Last six months, security consultants warned mobile manufacturer Xiaomis past model Redmi 1S.

This after the cell phone had been discovered sending user data on servers in Beijing and additionally via unencrypted connections.

For example, said the Finnish security company F-Secure to Redmi-mobile’s contacts and SMS messages automatically sent to China.

And recently also warned the Indian Air Force their employees for security in Xiaomis mobiles. In addition, is also under investigation in both Singapore and Taiwan.

In Singapore discovered a mobile-buyers that he got lots of advertising calls for the purchase of the new Xiaomi mobile. As mobile traffic then logged by Singapore’s data inspection saw that it sent data to servers in China and even personal details covered.

Xiaomi itself states that the vulnerability is due to a failure, that is, on an incorrect setting of their cloud service. Even mobile buyers who opted not to join the cloud service had become attached to it. Missen should now have been fixed.

– They had problems but have fixed them now, said Mikko Hypponen, head of research at F-Secure New Technology.

F-Sucure have made new tests of Redmi 1S and has, according to Mikko Hypponen, today no complaints on the phone .

Xiaomi tripled in the third quarter of this year sales of smartphones. It therefore took third place on the list of the world’s largest mobile phone manufacturer after Samsung and Apple.
