Bakgrund: Hälso- och sjukvården genomgår kontinuerligt omorganiseringar och utsätts för ständiga ekonomiska besparingar. Samtidigt ställer sjukvårdens snabba utvecklingstakt krav på ett ledarskap som kan hantera den problematik som en komplex verksamhet innebär. Konsekvenserna av förändringsarbetet har blivit att avdelningar har slagits samman och cheftätheten har blivit glesare. De chefer som är Introduction: The health care system is undergoing continuous reorganizations and subjected to constant demands for financial savings. The rapid pace of development requires leadership that can deal with the issues that arise in this complex operation, however, the impact of these changes have resulted in consolidated departments and fewer staff. The managers who are left will be responsible for u
This report describes the development of a new design for a small surveillance camera that would bring new opportunities for surveillance in carefully decorated environments. The target group was specified to high-end stores; luxury retailers. This specific target group has a great interest for new products and trends and stores in the lower price segment are often inspired by the high-end stores
Land degradation has already been treated as one of the most serious problem all around the world. This study is a GIS-based time series study which devotes to calculate annual soil loss value, seek for soil erosion trends linked with precipitation and land use in Manafwa micro-catchment, Mount Elgon region, Uganda. Two different versions of Revised Universal Soil loss Equation (RUSLE) are impleme
Studiens syfte var att studera förekomst av nãgrapersonlighetsegenskaper som jag tror har betydelse för prestationen: Egoism, moral och empati i de individuella idrotterna friidrott och simning bland ungdomsidrottare och att belysa eventuella skillnader i egoism, moral och empati mellan elitidrottarna och icke-eliten, samt eventuella könsskillnader. I bakgrunden framgår att: o Egoism hos tonåringa
Öar präglas av opåtagliga aspekter och har en psykologisk mening för turister. Det kan ses att verklighetsflykt och viljan att uppleva något annorlunda genom enkelhet och avkoppling är orsaker till öars attraktion. Representationen av paradiset gör öar till psykologiska fenomen som tilltalar turister genom känslor. Samtidigt som sol och bad är grundläggande anledningar för att resa till en ödestin
Kleva koppar-nickel -sulfidmineralisering i Jönköpings län associeras med en elongerad mafisk pluton. I denna studie presenteras de opaka faserna för disseminerad malm från platsen. De relativt rika resp. fattiga proverna skiljer sig åt texturellt och mineralogiskt. Prover med nätverkstexturer rymmer magnetkis medan de med enbart aggregat domineras av pyrit. Kobalt saknas i pentlandit från de fattThe Kleva copper-nickel sulphide mineralization in Jonkoping County, southeastern Sweden, is categori-sed as an elongated mafic pluton. In this study, ore microscopy and quantitative chemical analysis using SEM -EDS have been used to describe the relative abundance and distribution of sulphides and iron oxides in disseminated samples. The overall dominant mineral ore phase is chalcopyrite. In the
This thesis studies the relationship between the magnitude of the dowry and the bride’s education and income. Dowry is defined the gifts transferred along with the bride from the bride’s natal family to the groom’s household at the time of marriage. Gifts are traditionally also given from the groom household to the bride, the bride who will belong to the groom household after marriage. India has a
Studiens syfte var att med en explorativ ansats undersöka och beskriva svenska afghanistansoldaters upplevelser och känslor kopplat till sin utlandstjänstgöring och att få en bredare bild med olika aspekter av hur detta upplevs av soldaterna själva. Syftet var även att låta soldaterna ge synpunkter på Försvarsmaktens rutiner i form av bl.a. förberedelser, akut stöd på plats och uppföljning. DessutThe purpose of the study was to use an explorative approach to examine and describe Swedish Afghanistan veterans’ experiences and emotions in connection with their service abroad, and to create a broader picture with different aspects of how this is experienced by the veterans themselves. The purpose was also to let the veterans share their view of the Swedish Department of Defense’s routines incl
Rapporten behandlar tvåfärgsfält med variabel relativ polarisation, vilket gör det möjligt att till skillnad från de flesta tidigare experiment behandla inte bara vinkelrätt eller parallellt polariserade fält, utan även mellanliggande lägen. Analys av experimentella data kombineras här med datorsimuleringar av olika polariserings- och fasförhållanden för att studera dessa fenomen.Two-color laser fields are considered, using variable relative polarization, allowing studies not only of strictly parallel or perpendicular polarization, as most previous experiments, but intermediate steps as well. Data analysis from an experiment is compared to computer simulations of various polarization and phase conditions in order to study these phenomena.
In developing countries the informal waste collectors provide important social, environmental, and economic services to society, but are often not recognized nor compensated for the work. This research paper addresses the importance of the integration of informal waste collectors in waste management systems. This phenomenon is especially relevant in Brazil with a comprehensive urban solid waste la
Det kinesiska skriftspråket tros vara circa 3500 år gammalt och kan därför även ses som en uråldrig bärare av kinesisk historia och kultur. Under början av 1900-talet hade den västerländska världen kommit ikapp och utvecklats långt före ett kaotiskt Kina som dessutom bestod av en hög andel analfabeter. Det kinesiska skriftspråket fick en del av skulden för att mittens rike hamnat på efterkälken oc
The aim of the thesis is to research and compare the situation of management practices in Japanese companies in Japan and in Japanese companies abroad after a joint venture termination, particularly in Sweden. The changing in management style when Japanese companies go abroad is a highly researched topic. However, not that much research has been done on the Japanese companies in Sweden, specifical
Popular science Boreal forests play an important role within the global climatic system, since they generally act as a carbon sink. However, contrary to expectations, measurements have shown that the boreal forest at the Norunda research site in Central Sweden is acting as a carbon source, i.e. emitting more of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) as taking up. Soil CO2 efflux plays an importan
This research aims to fill the knowledge gap with regards to food waste prevention with a specific focus on quick service restaurants (QSRs) – also known as fast food restaurants. Restaurants are in a prime position to reduce food waste produced in the consumptive stages of the food supply chain, and more focus should be placed on how restaurants can help achieve food waste reduction targets. The
The Netherlands has experienced a rapid rate of land use change from 2000 to 2008. Land use change is especially urban expansion and open agriculture reduction which is due to enhanced economic growth. This thesis reports an investigation into the application of remote sensing, geographic information systems (GIS) and statistical methods to provide quantitative information on the effect of land us
