It consists of the TEN link Boden-Morjärv-Haparanda- European Commission, DG MOVE Tornäa and branch Morjärv-Kalix. It connects northern Finland and Russia with http://ec.europa.eu/dgs/transport/ Norway, and Western Europe via Sweden/Denmark. index_en.html Part of the NEW Corridor (Northern East-West Railway Freight Corridor), an UIC Trans-European Transport Network (International Union of Railways) initiative for a new multimodal transport corridor Executive Agency (TEN-T EA) for freight and container service, the Haparanda Line is also near the ongoing http://ec.europa.eu/tentea construction of Bothnia line (190 km of a new doubletrack Nyland-Umäa) and the planned Norrbothnia Line between Luläa and Umäa. Beneficiary & Implementing body: This project includes electrification, installation of ERTMS (European Rail Traffic Banverket (Swedish Rail Management System) Level 2, upgrading for higher axle-loads Boden-Morjärv- Administration) Kalix (115 km), and construction of the new, electrified and ERTMS Level 2- www.banverket.se equipped line Kalix-Haparanda (42 km). By removal of the section Morjärv- Haparanda, the total line-length will be reduced by +/- 50 km. The upgraded lines will allow trains with the axle load of 25 tonnes, and the new lines up to 30 tonnes. This project has been completed. Updated: September 2011 .

Annual Report
Division of Quality & Environmental Management ANNUAL REPORT 2005-2007 1 Background and Overview In January 1, 2003 the Division of Quality & Environmental Management (Avdelningen för kvalitets- & miljöledning) was created through a merger between the Quality Technology group and the Environmental Management group. The establishment of the division, the very first one of this kind in Sweden, was supported both from industry and the public sector in Sweden. Large efforts were spent on a successful merger, partly with financial support from the Development Council Government Sector (Utvecklingsrådet för den statliga sektorn). For instance, efforts have been put on our values and the culture; see Figure 2. In February 2006 the Division of Quality & Environmental Management was merged with several other divisions into a unit named Division of Business Administration and Manage- ment (Avdelningen för företagsekonomi & verksamhetsutveckling). Figure 1 Parts of the staff of our division at Kukkolaforsen, June 16, 2006. Photo: Rickard Garvare. Our four main processes illustrate central activities at Quality & Environmental Management: Undergraduate and Graduate Education, Postgraduate Education, Research, and Links to Society; see Figure 3. Activities are often performed in a close co-operation with business companies, public organizations and other parts of our society and we are convinced that collaboration is of benefit for all parties. This is also emphasized in our vision, which states that “we shall be internationally acknowledged for, to

Arjeplog Winter Car Testing – Emergence of a Cluster “At that time, the atmosphere in the region was quite depressed. But when the car testing business emerged and absorbed many of the employees, who had lost their jobs following the shutdown of the sawmill, most people realized that there was something else to do after all. A sort of flexibility was imbedded in the mentality.” Bengt-Urban Fransson, Mayor of Arjeplog Arjeplog, a municipality with around 3,000 inhabitants and located in the very northern part of Sweden, had been struggling for years. It had experienced the shutdown of both the local sawmill and the mine, and the population was decreasing as younger people moved to the southern parts of Sweden. By the 1980s and 1990s, a new industry began to emerge.

Remote On-Call Support in Rural Areas Summary
Distance meeting — Sweden Remote on-call support in rural areas Summary Remote on-call support from Kalix hospital to the health centres in Övertorneå and Överkalix has been a routine practice for three years. During the evening, at night and at weekends there is no doctor at the health centre in Övertorneå. Emergency cases, where appropriate, are handled re- motely via video conference. People who contact the healthcare hotline on 1177 (a national service for healthcare counselling) are prioritized based on their symptoms and also the acuteness of their situation. The cases that are deemed most acute – priority level 1 – are transported directly to Kalix hospital, while other less acute cases are handled at the health centre in Övertorneå. The patient is examined by a nurse at the health centre. The nurse takes samples, carries out ECGs, etc. If required, the on-call doctor at Kalix hospital will be contacted. The doctor will carry out an assessment and, if necessary, can prescribe medication and admit the patient to a bed at the health centre. This working model has currently been established at the health centres in Övertorneå and Överkalix and will shortly be extended to the health centres in Pajala and Jokkmokk. Övertorneå health centre also works with skills transfer in which it educates AKS nurses (advanced clinical specialist nurses) who can relieve doctors by handling a higher number of patients. Education for AKS nurses will start in both Luleå and Östersund. Main effects of the solution This working model enables patients to receive health care closer to their homes to a greater extent.
