A recent review of option models in drug development, co-authored by a biostatistician from AstraZeneca in Molndal, Sweden [14], suggests that there has up to now been a lack of appreciation among pharmaceutical executives of the value that statistics could bring to the decision making process. This review quantifies the value of information that could terminate unsuccessful projects early and assesses the time-risk trade-off. It proves that projects split... 

In Table 9 the recent statistics of ATES utilisations in Sweden are presented. As can be seen the technology is so far preferably used for commercial and institutional buildings with small or medium sized applications. Large-scale plants are applied for some district heating and cooling systems while the industry sector only has a couple of systems applied for manufacturing industries. The rest represents cooling in the telecom sector. 

A method successfully used for chromatographic data and capable to answer this and related questions is the SIMCA method (Statistical Isolinear Multiple Component Analysis). It has been constructed and developed by Svante Wold and his group at the University of Umea, Sweden.

In a case-control study in the north of Sweden, Hallquist et al. (1993) compared 188 men and women aged 20-70 years who had thyroid cancer with age- and sex-matched controls (two per case) selected from a register of the local population. The cases were identified retrospectively from a cancer registry and excluded a proportion of patients (19%) who had died by the time of the study. Exposure to potential risk factors, including chlorophenols, was ascertained by postal questionnaire with a supplementary telephone interview if answers were incomplete. The response rates for the cases and controls were 95% and 90%, respectively. Of the 171 cases analysed, 107 had papillary tumours. Four cases and three controls reported exposure to chlorophenols (odds ratio, 2.8 95% CI, 0.5-18). [The Working Group noted that the method of statistical analysis was not the most appropriate for individually matched data, but this is unlikely to have produced serious bias.]... 

Sweden exhibits a particularly good performance in terms of avoiding fatalities and injuries in this sector. These statistics could support the view that a culture of safety exists in Swedish companies, but chemical risk management in Sweden is arguably simpler for regulators and stakeholders due to fewer total chemicals produced and used within its territories (Section 4.1). This was exemplified during the interview with Swedish chemical industry representatives (paraphrased) ... 

Nevertheless, the statistics presented in Table 4.5 must be interpreted with caution. As the evidence in Section 4.4.1 suggests, the comparatively low frequency of fatalities and low lost injury time in the UK and Sweden may be attributable to regulators in these two countries prioritising more readily identifiable effects of exposure to certain hazards (e.g., carcinogenicity or sensitisation) over less apparent effects (in terms of existing epidemiological studies or occupational health incident reports) that result from exposure to other hazards (e.g., reprotoxicity).

Sweden s statistics showed a preference for charcoal over wood as a gasifier fuel for private cars, small trucks, and motorcycles. Charcoal s popularity resulted from its ease of handling and storage, the small pressure drop it caused in the gasifier, its good thermal efficiency, and its tendency not to slag. 

Since Scandinavia is electrically interconnected, variations in rainfall in Norway and Sweden lead to large variations in Danish electricity imports and exports. Danish energy statistics therefore operate with corrected as well as actual emissions. The corrected emissions are calculated using zero electricity exchange as a basis.
