Ett forskningsprojekt IMPOERS har startats för att följa en cohort sjuksköterskestudenter under implementering av OER. Detta är ett av de första mer systematiska projekten i Sverige om införande av OER. Några första preliminära resultat kommer att kunna presenteras vid NU2014,hösten 2014. Bakgrund Sjuksköterskeprogrammet på Högskolan Dalarna fick i januari 2013 utmärkelsen Excellent eLärande efte

Popular Abstract in Swedish Måndagen den 16:e april 2001 informerade det amerikanska företaget Cisco, med produkter och tjänster inom nätverk och datakommunikation, att de skulle skriva ned sitt komponentlager med 2,2 miljarder dollar. Detta skedde i samband med en globalt vikande efterfrågan och det som skulle komma att kallas IT-bubblan i folkmun. Investerare och företagsledning ställde sig frågThis dissertation presents a framework for describing, a process for identifying, and a model for evaluating misalignments in the supply chain when varying elements such as structure, processes, and management components. The developed approach makes it possible to address and improve the alignment of supply chain structures, processes, and management components. To further increase knowledge of h

Popular Abstract in Swedish Traditionellt sett är resande en maskulin aktivitet. I det här sammanhanget betyder det att resan för en euro-amerikansk man ses som en identitetsskapande process som formar honom som subjekt. Denna process förutsätter att kvinnan figurerar i marginalen, i det stereotypiska fallet som sexobjekt eller väntande hustru/moder. Genom att ersätta män med kvinnor i huvudrollerThis thesis is founded on the premise that traditional discourses of travel and mobility are inherently masculinist, that is, travel is seen as a masculinity rite-of passage for the Euro-American male, shaping his subjectivity through the othering and marginalization of women. Taking Jack Kerouac’s On the Road (1957), the epitome of masculinist travel literature, as a starting point for an examina

Radionuclide therapy requires patient-specific planning of the absorbed dose to target volumes, in most cases tumours, in order to achieve an expected biological effect, taking into account that the absorbed doses to normal organs and tissues should be kept as low as reasonably achievable. Therefore, the calculation of absorbed doses has to be as accurate as possible. The accuracy depends on the m

A review of literature related to fire evacuation in high-rise buildings was carried out with the objectives to (1) identify the key behavioural factors associated with the event of a fire in a high-rise building, (2) review the current procedures and strategies currently adopted in high-rise buildings (e.g. horizontal and vertical evacuation methods, phased evacuation, total evacuation, defend-in

Critical infrastructures provide indispensable services to society and extensive disruption of these give rise to large societal consequences. Most risk-related studies of critical infrastructures, however, focus rather narrowly on the direct consequences, e.g. expressed by services not supplied or cost of nonsupplied services. Although these measures might serve as a proxy for the direct societal

Existing installations and energy systems in most commercial buildings could be used in a more efficient way to provide savings – both in terms of energy and load demand. The key for effective operation is a thorough and detailed analysis of energy use patterns that creates essential baseline for energy savings and the development of demand response (DR) strategies. The knowledge of energy deman

Scholars of European fable history over and over again have returned to the question of a possible death of the Aesopic genre. Arguments have been brought forward in accordance with mainly two opposing views. On the one hand, it has been claimed that the fable genre towards the end of the eighteenth century reached a stage of crisis and, more or less, perished. On the other hand, it has been asser

To further promote cardiovascular research there is a growing need for arterial characterization on small animals. Arterial wall movement measurements form the basis for most stiffness related parameters. As far as we know, previous reports on lumen diameter change measurements in small animals have required ECG triggering and cross-correlation techniques on the RF-signal using extremely high fram

A fully integrated 0.6 V 2.6 mA VCO aimed for the GPS L1 band is realized in a 90 nm CMOS process. The VCO operates at 6.3 GHz and a divide-by-four circuit buffer provide the wanted 1575.42 MHz signal. The VCO has a measured phase noise of-103 dBc/Hz at 100kHz offset and a chip area of 1.15mm 2, including bondpads.
