  Uppsala University - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Uppsala University was given a relative financial stability with the large donation of King Gustavus Adolphus in the early 17th century.
The governing board of the university is the consistory, with representatives of the faculties as well as members representing the students and non-academic employees (3 professors and 3 students), and a number of university outsiders appointed by the Swedish government (10 people).
The university became prominent in the sciences in the 18th century with names such as the physician and botanist Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778), the father of taxonomy, and his numerous important pupils, the physicist and astronomer Anders Celsius (1701-1744), inventor of the centigrade scale the predecessor of the Celsius scale, and the chemist Torbern Bergman (1735-1784).

Uppsala is Sweden's oldest university town and a wonderful city, combined with the student atmosphere and facilities, it makes for the ideal program to learn Swedish.
Uppsala was a great environment in which to learn the language: the city is small enough that everything is accessible and within walking distance, but big enough to have all the amenities a student would need.

 The Chronicle: Colloquy Live Transcript
The feds are very concerned about people with bogus degrees being in security-sensitive situations, owing in part to the possibility of flmail as well as questions of competence.
Finally, any degree supplier that is not formally approved and listed by its host state or nation in effect does not exist at all and is therefore not even a school, thus a diploma mill owing to nonexistence.
With such a great number of people obtaining this degree, it is interesting to note that many of them are being fired, if they are even found out, for having the degree but not necessarily from poor work performance.

TUESDAY, June 27 (HealthDay News) -- People whose blood pressure doesn't go down a bit at night may be at high risk of developing congestive heart failure, a potentially fatal condition, a Swedish study found.
Previous studies have shown that the absence of the nighttime dip in blood pressure that occurs in most people as they sleep is associated with medical problems, Ingelsson said.
Devices are available for 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, Bhatt said, adding, "I wore one of them myself for a couple of days." But they do involve "some degree of cost and some degree of inconvenience," he said.
