Missing man found safe and sound Timra – Aftonbladet

The police went out on Sunday with an ad for a missing man 23 years old.

He is now found and “feel good”, informs the police.

During Sunday morning the police went in Västernorrland out with an ad for a man of 23 years old reported missing. There were relatives and friends who raised the alarm.

The man had last been seen the night of Sunday in a bathing area at Lögdö Sea off Timra.

The police never suspected that any crime was behind the disappearance.

– No, we do not. He was out with his friends and would go before the bottom of the lake. Since then he’s gone. Now the question is if he decided to depart yourself or if something has happened, says Michael Baudin, officers at the county communication center at the police in Västernorrland.

The police launched an sökinsats at Lögdö Sea and at lunchtime they announced that the man found safe and sound.

Researchers are looking for old renskit – Sveriges Radio

The aim is to deepen the knowledge of reindeer husbandry conditions past and present. To view a herd of reindeer found themselves in a certain place traced the remains of droppings through pollen and sporprover. In projeket participate Ajjte mountain and Sami museum in Jokkmokk.

– When the reindeer trampling and fertilize the soil with their droppings then there will be an enrichment of nutrients and phosphates in the soil. It can be seen, says Kjell-Åke Aronsson, who researches the old reindeer pellet with Aronsson, together with research colleagues from Venezuela and France.

He explains the minimal residues and small fragments left in the pill no.

– And it can be studied. Then you can say that right at this place for so and so long ago, so it was reindeer here, he says.

People sitting down on the job at risk of dying prematurely. – Aftonbladet

People who sit down at work at risk of dying prematurely.

But an hour’s walk a day can reduce the risks, writes The Guardian.

a group of international experts has investigated the risks of spending a whole day on a desk chair. The study was recently published in the journal Lancet and is based on 16 previous studies done primarily in people over 45 from Western Europe, USA and Australia.

Sitting can lead to premature death

Scientists have concluded that 9.9 percent of those who sat down for eight hours a day and did not engage in much physical activity at risk of dying prematurely. Of those who put down less than four hours a day and touched for at least an hour a day risked 6.8 percent of premature death.

They also discovered that the risk sitting down eight hours a day but spends in physical activity at least one hour a day.

Professor Ulf Ekelund from the Norwegian School of sport Sciences and Cambridge University is one of the authors of the study.

– You do not do sports. You do not go to the gym. It’s okay to take some brisk walking, maybe in the morning, at lunch or after dinner. You can split it up over the day, but you have to go at least an hour in total, he tells The Guardian.

Recommends break every hour

Ulf Ekelund emphasizes that he is aware of that not everyone has the opportunity to go out and go to work.

– It is not easy to devote an hour a day in physical activity. But the average adult Briton watching television more than three hours a day. It is perhaps not too much to spare a part of the three hours of physical activity, he says.

He also recommends a five-minute break every hour to get up and move, even if it is only on a walk to the copier.

Ice water gave the breakthrough in ALS research – Västerbotten Courier

R Many poured ice water over him and donated money for ALS research. Now stunt Ice Bucket Challenge has made a great breakthrough in Umeå.

– We have been able to do much more for this money. The fact that we found a new gene that causes the disease is a really great discovery, said Peter Andersen, a professor of neurology at Umeå University.

It was two years ago as a long line of celebrities and ordinary people poured a bucket of iced water over himself in front of the camera. At the same time it gave a gift to ALS research. In Sweden attended 31,000 people with gifts that meant that three million went to Peter Andersen and his European colleagues in the project Mine. The project is a collaboration comparing patient samples between laboratories in the world and aims to find new genes that may be important for the development of severe disease. Overall, the project has thus been 5.6 million to spend.

– But we need more money. This is an insanely expensive project, says Andersen.

In a newly published article in the prestigious scientific journal Nature Genetics presented this week researchers new breakthroughs. They have found a new gene, C21orf2, which is strongly associated with the disease.

– Neil Armstrong could not fly to the moon on their own and this is the same. The whole essence of Project Mine is that we make a joint cannon effort and find only demonstrates that we can work together, and that the whole concept works, says Peter Andersen.

Umeå University has long been a world leader in research on ALS and it still is. Today there are samples from more than 11,000 ALS patients from around the world right in Umeå. There is, for example, the largest sample bank for patients from countries such as Switzerland and Denmark. Someone suffering from hubris, however, not of, despite the central role that the university plays in the fight against the cruel disease.

– No, we are many who are working on this, everything is based on cooperation. Mine is that the EU at the graduate level, says Peter Andersen.

About ten percent of those who get ALS have an inherited variation while it has been seen that 90 percent suffer spontaneously, without parents or other relatives had the disease. Now it is believed that it may not be that ill spontaneously but it depends on many weak disease genes that interact. At inherited ALS is single but strong predisposition to diseases that are the cause.

– The cause of spontaneous ALS can be a combination effect of many weak disease predisposition. Now the hunt on to find them, says Peter Andersen.

The research has compared blood samples from 12,500 ALS patients with blood samples from 24,000 healthy patients.

Oracle buys company for billions – which the President is a major owner – Breakit (press release)

It was on Thursday, a cloud service company Netsuit announced that database company Oracle bought the company.

The price tag ended up at $ 9.3 billion, equivalent to 70 billion. After the purchase stage Netsuits shares by about 18 percent, while Oracle’s share price remained unchanged.

Netsuit, founded in 1998, paved the way for cloud services on the Internet and was the first company that delivered the first business applications over the Internet.

One that has earned big money on the deal is Oracle founder and CEO Larry Ellison – he and his family owns namely 40 percent of Netsuits shares, writes Reuters.

This is equivalent to about 30 billion.

Oracle claims, however, that the purchase was led by a committee of independent directors.

Netsuits part involves the purchase that the company can now reach out to more countries around the world.

Larry Ellison was ranked the world’s fifth richest man in 2013 with a fortune of 41 billion dollars.

Researchers have found a new gene linked to ALS – Sveriges Radio

The researchers in ALS Mine project, which received the support of the collected donations from icebucket Challenge, has now made a major breakthrough and found a new gene, C21orf2 , which is strongly associated with the disease.

Umeå Professor Peter Andersen received three million of the collected ishinksmiljonerna, distributed by the Brain Foundation, the European research project Mine.

There are now researchers made a major breakthrough by the discovery of a new gene that is strongly linked to the disease.

The results were published at the beginning of week in the prestigious journal Nature Genetics.

The findings are expected to lead to new ways to treat the fatal disease ALS on. The study is the largest ever made to inherited ALS.

– The gene has an unknown function, but it is very clear that with a change in the gene that increases the risk significantly to a person suffering from ALS, says Peter Andersen , professor of neurology at Umeå University.

From a fundamental point of view is the discovery is very important, and now begins the process of understanding how the gene works, says Andersen.

– There is great progress that has been made, he says.

Ice Bucket Challenge gave the result: New research advances toward ALS! – Cafe

Barack Obama, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg were three of all the people who participated in the Ice Bucket Challenge the summer of 2014.

Remember when social media flooded with films where people poured cold water over themselves? In 2014, launched the campaign “Ice Bucket Challenge” to raise awareness around the nerve disease ALS. The viral phenomenon severely criticized, many felt that it took the focus away from the disease itself and downplayed the seriousness of the diagnosis of a viral celebrity fly.

But now research funded by campaign led to advances in research. It’s Mine Project, an initiative run by donations from the Ice Bucket Challenge, which identified a new gene linked to ALS. A bargain that has the potential to revolutionize treatment options, according to a press release.

Now scientists hope to find more effective treatments, with the goal of finding a cure according to Lucie Bruijn , research manager at the ALS Association.

Even in Sweden, the campaign has had a strong national power. Over 35 000 people have texted donations to the Brain Foundation fundraiser for ALS research, which resulted in 4 million collected crowns of which a grant of 3 million went to researchers at Umeå University.

The highlights of Apple’s quarterly report – 99mac

On Tuesday, Apple reported earnings for their third # quarter 2016, which includes the months of April, May and June. After the report stayed Apple CEO Tim Cook and CFO Luca Maestri as usual there to answer questions from investors.

A billion sold iPhone

Apple has sold one billion iPhone phones. This milestone now shared with others during a meeting with employees on Wednesday. Apple CEO Tim Cook had acquired the following to say:

“The iPhone has become one of the most important, world-changing and successful products in history. it has been more than a constant companion. iPhone is really an important part of our daily lives and enables much of what we do during the day. Last week we passed another important milestone when we sold the billionth iPhone. we have never invested to do the most, but we have always focused on making the best products that make a difference. Thanks to everyone at Apple to help change the world every day. “

Apple is very happy with iphone SE

One thing we learned during the quarterly report is that Apple is very happy with the iphone SE, four inch model they launched at the end of March this year. Tim Cook said that demand for the device has been high throughout the quarter.

“We had a very successful global launch of the iPhone SE and the demand was higher than supply throughout the quarter. ”

Cook also said that iPhone SE has been popular both in established markets and in developing markets. The proportion Iphone SE devices sold to new iPhone users have also been higher than for previous iPhone models. Cook again:

“I really like what I’ve seen with the iPhone SE and the fact that it opened the door to customers that we do not reached earlier and probably have persuaded some to upgrade who wanted a smaller phone, but who wanted to be left with Iphone and thus waited for something Iphone SE. “

Apple’s CFO Luca Maestri added that iPhone growth has been strong in several markets. Sales in Russia have doubled since last year, and growth has been double digit in countries like Brazil, India, Japan, Canada, Sweden and Turkey.

Services grows

Apple’s services continues to grow and set records for the June quarter with revenues of $ 6 billion. The growth came from several sources such as the App Store, music, iCloud and Apple Care. According to Cook expects Apple to services reach the size of a Fortune 100 company next year.

usage for Ipad

This quarter was the best for Ipad over the past ten quarters. Revenues went up by seven per cent thanks to the launch of the smaller iPad Pro. According to surveys that Apple has made about half of the iPad Pro buyers purchased their devices for work.

“iPad Pro is the ultimate upgrade for existing iPad users and the ultimate replacement unit for customers who switch from portable pC. “

Apple Watch – a bestseller

How it works Apple Watch is not easy to know when Apple competitive reasons not report the number of copies sold individually, without putting them in the category of “Other.” During the quarter, the report said Tim Cook to the smart watch is the world’s best-selling and also received high ratings from users according to a survey by JD Power.

This autumn Watch OS 3 and existing users will to upgrade their watches with an improved interface, improved performance and new fitness and health functions. Under Cook, Apple’s “just begun with Apple Watch and look forward to many more exciting launches in the area.”

apple pay

This fall, Apple will pay to work directly in the Safari browser, but already now use Apple’s payment of tens of millions of users around the world. The number of active users per month has increased by 450 percent since last year.

According to Tim Cook is 3 of 4 contactless payments in the US Apple Pay payments. The service has now been launched in nine markets, including six of Apple’s ten largest. Also outside of the US are going well for the service. More than half of the transactions made outside the country.

Pokemon Go and augmented reality

The analyst Gene Munster took the opportunity to ask Tim Cook on Pokemon Go, and how Apple looks at what is called augmented reality (AR).

“When it comes to augmented reality and Pokémon the phenomenon, it is unbelievable what happened there. I see it as proof what happens with innovative apps and the entire ecosystem and the power of developers who can push a button and offer its products worldwide. this specific developer has not launched globally than because of the pressure on their servers, but I’m sure they will make it in time. “

According to Cook, Apple invests heavily in augmented reality and focus on the area in the long term.

Listen for yourself

For those who want to listen to the conference call, you can do through Apple’s website for investors. There are also quarterly report for those who want to study the numbers more closely on their own.

It is also possible to read instead of listening, iMore is normally transcribed the entire teleconference.

“The Cult of Mac” must be taken seriously, writes Henrik Ek. – Expressen

Guy Kawasaki – maybe you’ve heard the name? Google it happily otherwise. He is Apple’s first “evangelist”. It was perhaps with him the title was invented.

He spent the years 1984 to 1987 to convince programmers to make software for the Macintosh instead of Windows-based IBM.

The role was particularly important because at that the time was about to stop the world domination that IBM was building.

Kawasaki job turned out was childishly simple. People quickly saw how the barren MS DOS paled in comparison Mac OS clear interface.

There and then formed two camps, and although Microsoft will soon also had its graphical interface so have these camps survived.

least one of the camps. It was a position to choose Macs over others.

Apple has had crises since – been close to going under even – but thanks to his faithful entourage managed to survive.

they are called “the Cult of Mac” – Macsekten.

of course, even the most loyal followers falters in his faith at the great falls, but Apple has periodically given them water for their mill through relatively breakthrough innovation (or just bolder solutions to others’ innovations).

Colorful computers, iPod, iTunes, and of course the all-time greatest hit, the iPhone.

READ ALSO: Apple continues to back

I agree on many of Apple’s launch event each year. Later this June in San Francisco on what is called the World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC). This is where you see today’s cult crowd after successfully overcome the coveted spots.

Well, people talk. They wonder when the next big thing coming. (Is it a car?)

But it was also found that the news presented was the biggest in a long time.

What it was? Better opportunities for programmers to create apps for Apple’s various products.

Culten was satisfied – Wall Street mumbled innovation deficiency.

One should of course not detract from Wall Street Power. It starts to go down and talk about the new CEO “Tim Cook certainly not as driven as Steve Jobs was” it’s easy that it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Shareholders today is volatile people in hunting constantly growing assets. It’s the same for everyone, but the bigger you are, the heavier you fall.

Apple’s profit was thus 27 percentage points below the second quarter of this year (split financial year) compared to the same quarter last year.

the profit is now “only” 67.4 billion kronor, compared with 92.3 last year.

Many of Apple wants for sure that it was 2007 again. The year they released the Iphone and put the whole phone market upside down. But it will not even Wall Street analysts expect to be repeated.

Now that the Chinese telecom giant Huawei also become a factor in the smartphone industry, competition is heavier than ever. This applies not only Apple but also Samsung, Sony and HTC.

Add to this that more keep their phones longer, often for two years according to their 24-month contracts with the operators. In addition, prices go down (finally) to which the revenue per unit will be lower.

Yes, Apple’s heyday from that point is probably over. It has probably been over for a while, honestly.

But the quarterly report also showed was that Apple’s service is growing significantly. Revenues by Apple Music, app sales and new apple pay grew overall by 19 percent.

It is strong even by Wall Street standards to say that the world’s largest ongoing business is “out”. Many take only enough opportunity to balance its very long-tailed tribute coverage of Apple, now that the opportunity still be given.

I choose to see what happens within the sect. It has worked since the 80s – and there seems to be the mood remains good.

The security features that will attract businesses to Windows 10 – IDG.se

A year has passed since Microsoft launched its latest operating system Windows 10. During the twelve months that have passed have either criticism or praise conspicuous by its absence. In plus the basket is better user interface and better security than its predecessor Windows 7. While their least eager encouragement for users to update become an annoyance, and discussions about privacy has sometimes been rather harsh.

But now we will have birthday and with it a new update. And an end to the free offer so clear. Much focus has been on new features for consumers, but this does not mean that business left out in the cold. In the upcoming update offers two security features: a preventive measure and if the hackers managed to get into the network, writes IDG News.

the first part, the preventive protection, go under the name Windows information protection. The program allows businesses and organizations to split the business and personnel data in the same units. Step two, or the second part of the protective security released separately, called Windows Defender advanced threat protection, and presented earlier this year. A system that uses machine learning and enterprise cloud services to better protect customer data if hackers break into their network.

iT giant wants the operating system to be the primary choice for security conscious businesses. And with these two new features, they hope to strengthen the image of Windows 10. In short, the two big selling point for them in efforts to get customers to leave the old behind and software update to the latest version. Especially at a time when the hacker attacks increasing and seems even worse to deal with.

In a little closer description that the function of information security based on encryption keys that are controlled by IT departments in each company. Data can be encrypted on the employees’ computers, which is an advantage for the company on the date the employee leaves. Managers can then choose to only delete company data from the device.

They can also set up guidelines for which applications must manage corporate data. And thus avoid situations in which an employee, for example, tweeting out content from their HR systems. Today, many employees their phones and computers both leisure and business. With the new features Microsoft wants to do now that Windows 10 is more in line with that type of use, where the line between work and leisure increasingly blurred.

It was the preventive function. Part two, Windows Defender advanced systems, is for those situations the company suffered an attack. The system is designed to help customers discover and encircle security breaches. Through a combination of various software applications, and Microsoft’s cloud service system alerts when a suspected infringement detected.

rings alarm bells, the system proposes various measures to solve the problem. This is important according to the manufacturer because hackers often try to place multiple backdoors in the infected network. And it comes as quickly as possible to remove them from there.

With the anniversary, it is now an end to all free offers. For those companies that want to make use of the information package you have to have subscription Enterprise E3 for Windows 10. Which costs seven dollars a month, about $ 60.

To access the alert system requires the more expensive subscription Enterprise E5 , which is aimed at companies who are looking for operating premium features. There is no official price tag, but is an issue that is discussed with the customer and the company.

If the new security features have the desired effect on the sales of licenses and subscription remains to be seen. Safety is a priority for many companies, but it can also mean a hefty investment in both time and money.

Apple in headwind – telephone sales continue downward – IDG.se

The fierce competition in the market for smart phones and tablets has put his imprint on Apple’s quarterly report presented yesterday. Along with the market as a whole is slowing down made it that sales fell by 15 percent. Total sold 40.4 million iPhones, which is still slightly more than the expected 39.9 million as expected, writes IDG News.

The total turnover of the mobile manufacturer $ 42.4 billion during the last part of their split financial year, which has now completed its third quarter. Although a decline from last year by 17 percent. The company reported a profit of 7.8 billion, 27 percent lower than the same period in 2015.

Much focus was on the phones are down in an apparent slump. But sales went down for all major devices: tablets and computers. Ten million Ipads sold during the quarter gone by, compared to eleven last year. Sales of Mac computers amounted to 4.2 million, which was slightly lower than the expected 4.4 million and even lower than last year, when it amounted to 4.8 million. Down it went well for other areas, falling into a kind of residual category and include the iPod, the headphones Beats and watches.

Apple has had a strategy, to focus on sales of high-end tablet for professional use. And the strategy seems to have gone home. Certainly did the total sales of tablet down. But revenues from sales increased and now that it closes the door to his third quarter they had received $ 4.9 billion. The figure was 4.5 billion the same period in 2015.

Another bright spot was revenue from their various services, such as sales Appstor, Apple and iTunes music. They rose from 5.03 billion to $ 5.98 billion from year to year. However, a slight decline compared to the previous quarter.

The report was about what analysts had expected and even better. Shares rose shortly after the presentation by five percent. For the coming quarter, Apple tracks the revenue of the company will land at between 45.5 and 47.5 billion US dollars. Earnings at $ 7.8 billion as per share equal to $ 1.42.

Right now, expectations are high for the upcoming launch of a new iPhone model, which is expected in December. However, there is uncertainty about what it will be hot and what it will actually be able to do. Previously, the launch of new models has given new life to the sale, especially when users soon had its previous model in almost two years. When the iPhone 6 released sales took a significant step forward. Maybe it can happen again.

The system is designed to help customers discover and encircle security breaches. Through a combination of various software applications, and Microsoft’s cloud service system alerts when a suspected infringement detected.

rings alarm bells, the system proposes various measures to solve the problem. This is important according to the manufacturer because hackers often try to place multiple backdoors in the infected network. And it comes as quickly as possible to remove them from there.

With the anniversary, it is now an end to all free offers. For those companies that want to make use of the information package you have to have subscription Enterprise E3 for Windows 10. Which costs seven dollars a month, about $ 60.

To access the alert system requires the more expensive subscription Enterprise E5 , which is aimed at companies who are looking for operating premium features. There is no official price tag, but is an issue that is discussed with the customer and the company.

If the new security features have the desired effect on the sales of licenses and subscription remains to be seen. Safety is a priority for many companies, but it can also mean a hefty investment in both time and money.

Microsoft on the way back after setbacks with Windows – IDG.se

Recent figures from Microsoft showed both reduced revenues and lower gross profit for the second quarter. Revenues landed at $ 20.6 billion and earnings of $ 12.6 billion, representing decreases of 7.1 and 14.1 percent compared with the same period last year.

But now the company’s Windows Business signs recovery. And manufacturers of original parts for PCs have reaped successes in both the business side and among premium consumers, writes IDG News.

Microsoft saw a significant improvement when it came to operating profit for the second quarter, an increase of 250 percent. However, it should be said that there is a directly comparable figure. Increase due, according to IDG News namely only on the second quarter of 2015 included the extensive impairment of Nokia operations.

If you remove the Nokia out of the equation is Microsoft left with the lowest operating profit for the quarter in nearly four years. Something that was mainly due to increased investments in sales, marketing and research and development. Investments necessary for the company to keep pace, and take again, the competitors in the cloud market.

Analysts from Technology Business Research points out, however, that the decline would have been less if it were not for exchange rates. They also say that the level of sales and earnings still shows that the company has the ability to generate good margins in a highly competitive market.

“Microsoft seems to have done rid of the lingering effects of the decline in Windows licenses halted their performance the past two years, “said analyst Jack Narcotta.

According to him, it is Windows 10, and that the operating system is now matured, helping OEMs on the commercial market selling licenses for Windows Pro in new computers in a more efficient manner. Add to that a wider variety of 2-in-1 plates and notebooks shipped with the latest operating system also draws the attention of businesses and consumers alike.

“While the global PC market continue is weak, there are pockets of growth opportunities in these emerging segments: premium consumer and business PCs, “said Jack Narcotta.

as a result of this starting now manufacturers are slowly trying to make money in the new markets. And meet the increased demand of notebooks for business, as well as premium products to consumers in the form of, inter alia, 2-in-1 plates. A particular focus will likely put on building customer loyalty and brand names of the manufacturers. Microsoft for its part promises to speed up the updating of older models and to encourage the sale of new and more expensive units. Technology Business Research believes that this year’s second quarter is only the first step in a recovery that will take longer, but still a step in the right direction.

Microsoft’s ambition has been that Windows 10 will reach one billion users to 2018. The dreams seem to be running out with the dishwater. Which also demonstrates the challenges IT company faces when it comes to getting sustainable growth with the new operating system and not only to revive the short-term transition. A contributing factor is, if you ask the company representative, the sale of the business for Windows-based phones. Sheep analysts question will also reduce PC sales.

So far, companies have been able to download and run the Windows 10 free. But at the end of the week it is out of free riding was, and a subscription fee is introduced. Henceforth, it cost seven dollars per month, and users. Something that also probably will lead to additional license purchases among the world’s companies.

SMHI Today’s downpour a premonition before Tuesday – Aftonbladet

In the middle of a weather-wise, beautiful and warm period was surprised by parts of Stockholm by torrential rains and floods.

SMHI flag now for further storms in the heat.

– Today’s rain was a small notice for tomorrow, says Alexandra Ohlsson, media meteorologist at SMHI.

It’s been fine projections and very warm weather throughout the country the last week.

But now the weather gets increasingly unstable, according to Alexandra Ohlsson at SMHI.

– now we begin to notice the unstable air mass that finds its way into Sweden, she says.

– we have had rain and thunder in many parts of Svealand and locally in Götaland and up to northern parts of Norrland.

is this something we will see more of?

– Today’s rain was a small glimpse of the future. This warm air will then be pushed away by a rain area and we can wait more thunderstorms and precipitation area that concerns the whole country with heavy rain.

Alexandra Ohlsson says the rest of the week also becomes unstable, with partly cloudy and mixed weather in the country.

– rain and thunderstorms can be expected even then, but the strongest storms will on Tuesday afternoon, she said.

overflowing rain

Alexandra Ohlsson says that it will be similar bursts that those who received the emergency to turn out to Södermalm when the rain poured down early Monday afternoon.

Alexandra Ohlsson says it potentially a warning on Tuesday morning.

– We will await a clearer forecast during the night, so it might be a good idea to keep an eye on our website.

Short-termism threat to Ericsson’s development “- Swedish Dagbladet

we are very concerned about the conditions for Ericsson’s continued development, the authors write. Photo: Magnus Hjalmarsson Neideman

A business without technologically advanced products at risk of exclusion.

It is good for Volvo, is good for Sweden. It is a legendary statement of 1968 by the Minister of Finance’s String. It was based on a simple insight that if the export-oriented technology companies are developing well, so it benefits the entire national economy.

Just eight years ago was calculated Volvo Cars. Production of cars was considered to belong to the antiquity of some political representatives. Among pundits in the financial world, Volvo was considered too small. Today, many people, not only Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who instead want to sing along to the chorus of praise. Volvo Cars is investing and exporting as never before.

Let us return to the conditions for their return. But first, something that right now contrasts with this success – Ericsson. There is not a day that we looked gloomy headlines about Ericsson in the media. CEO Hans Vestberg hung out for expensive air travel. Anticipated bribes from business in Asia is a regular feature. The accusations of inefficiency in spending on research and development another. And so the recurring layoffs that creates anxiety among employees. Now CEO Hans Vestberg left the company.

Ericsson is a technology giant , which managed to survive numerous changes in technology for more than 130 years. Still hailed the success of the past that put Ericsson on the map and delivered profitability. Let us just remind you of the telephone exchange AXE who became a formidable cash cow. It was not until “in order” by management but largely through a dedicated work “bit off” of the company’s engineers, known as Skunk Works. And so it has continued. Time after time, Ericsson has managed to get out of critical situations and re-take the lead in the telecom world.

We have a strong concern that these conditions are increasingly undermined. Short-term results and a management approach where engineers reduced to a homogeneous machine that goes to the parameter control on the hourly rate risk relegating Ericsson to the history books.

Innovation does not occur by constantly picking new working condition from a never-ending back smiled but by provide competent engineers freedom and responsibility in a supportive environment. We need a working environment where there is space and confidence to work with innovation and where good ideas can be tested and lead to innovative products. At the same time need the same engineering force used for the streamlining of innovation if it is to go to defend a Swedish business in the long run.

What happened at Volvo Cars? After a few troubled years after Volvo AB sold Cars to Ford as the company was bought up by the Chinese company Geely. Instead of unilateral transfer of technology, it has invested in long-term development of research, development and production. The staff has been mandated to work with the next generation vehicle and given a lot of freedom. It is not the quarter that matters but the profits have been reinvested. All development has been funded by the company become better. Volvo’s advertising “Made by people” is rooted in this. The technical solutions that were developed “alongside” today is such that praises the market. Who dared to ten years ago, believe that a four-cylinder diesel could qualify in a large SUV, which also has good environmental properties?

Now, when Volvo Cars greatly expands its business, it is an irony of fate that 1000 of the new development engineers move into Ericsson’s empty premises in Mölndal.

We are two representatives of the engineering profession in Sweden. We cooperate across many borders and work to the Swedish-based global industrial groups to have continued good development prospects, regardless of whether the devices ABB, Sandvik, AstraZeneca, Scania and Volvo and Ericsson. Therefore, we are very concerned about the conditions for Ericsson’s continued development. We know that Ericsson must continue its ongoing transformation. Services and service is an important part of the business. But a company without technologically advanced products at risk of becoming a company in the amount of long term risk of exclusion. Our hope is that the owners see this and put course from suffocating short-term to long-term development capacity.

Investor and Industrivärden has been and significant shareholder, with its large holdings in Ericsson (far more than 40 percent). They can show responsibility by straightening out all the doubts that exist today. They can influence the board to decide on a vigorous development agenda and can by these decisions to persuade other shareholders that Ericsson will be a company to be reckoned with. We assume that both Johan Forssell (Investor) and Helena Stjernholm (Industrivärden) wants to give a mandate to the next president. Such an agenda would generate strong internal development force. Good for Ericsson and good for Sweden.

The union criticized Vestberg parachute – Expressen

Tomas Blidsberg is Chief union negotiator for Sweden’s Engineers.

He says that the union was reached by information about Hans Vestberg down as president of Ericsson on Monday morning.

Tomas Blidsberg believe that the news was unexpected.

– There have been problems and speculation but I did not think it would go so fast, says Tomas Blidsberg.

Jan Frykhammar now enters as CEO, as a temporary solution.

Tomas Blidsberg do not want to speculate too much in Frykhammars role because he clearly stated that he has no respect to a candidate for the regular mail.

– Something special distrust Jan Frykhammar, we have not said Tomas Blidsberg.

parachute 28 million

Hans Vestberg now leave all their posts with immediate effect – and get a parachute of over 28 million.

– these allowances are living usual in the blue. Considering you also all the signs of the crisis and the savings will send it mildly, strange and dubious signals, said Tomas Blidsberg.

“bled of employees in Sweden”

For the moment there are no designated candidate for the post of president.

– I think not worry us, but now we are thinking about what this change of CEO will lead the company. Now it depends on what happens in the future, says Tomas Blidsberg.

He says that Ericsson is in a negative spiral and see problems with that at all times choose a defensive strategy “where we bled of employees in Sweden” .

– We are now looking forward with curiosity about what this means for the culture that has so far prevailed at Ericsson with this negative spiral. If you can break it and bet more aggressively, also for a better balance in the line between technology and ekomin than we think we have had in recent years, says Tomas Blidsberg.

No notice of notice

He announced that the union is not reached by any indication of who may be called as the new president.

– this is crispy new and I do not think it will be up to date until they have developed a candidate they want to bet on.

Tomas Blidsberg states that he neither received any new information about the upcoming layoffs. Whether how it beats globally or within Sweden.

It is still unclear how the savings measures will strike, or what areas or places that may be affected.

Tomas Blidsberg expect an answer in August after the summer holidays, and said that the company announced that it worked too full to announce measures in detail.

– we think we have very good reason to believe that it will hit in Sweden, and we know it tends to hit hard in Sweden, says Tomas Blidsberg.
