The concept of patient-focused care aims to provide an environment in which the healthcare team focuses on the individual patient’s needs. In order to increase our understanding of how nurses perceive and conduct patient-focused care, the issue needs to be studied in various contexts. The aims of the study were to explore nurses’ descriptions of their patient-focused care, what took place during o

The paper investigates the different regimes for the exchange of information in cross-border competition cases. It argues that the co-operation and information exchange mechanisms in competition cases established by Regulation 1/2003 have been overtaken by the means provided by the European Evidence Warrant which was developed under the former third Pillar (Co-operation in Criminal Matters). Moreo

The paper examines whether the changes in the objectives of the EU means a change in the competition acquis. A three step analysis leads to the conclusion that this has not to be expected. Initially the status of competition in the constitutional hierarchy under the old EC Treaty is examined before the detailed changes under the Lisbon Treaty are set out. The paper then investigates whether the am

This paper gives an introduction into the concepts of competition law and its economic foundations. The main focus of the paper are the substantive provisions of the Malaysian Competition Act. The paper first sets out the basic economic models underpinning the competition law analysis. In a second step the paper examines the substantive provisions of the Competition Act while making due reference

Examined if nonveridical reports of a stimulus-motif presented below the threshold for correct recognition were related to subjective tendencies in the ordinary perception of thermatically related stimuli. 64 college students were tested with the standard picture of the Defense Mechanism Test that reflects a theme of aggression and threat. Stimulus-inadequate reports of the picture-motif were rela

Studied developmental changes in the conceptualization of empathy by testing and interviewing 16 kindergartners, 16 1st graders, and 16 4th graders. All age groups expected a child to empathize with liked peers more than with disliked peers. Whereas kindergartners expected emotional reactions to be equally strong in response to both types of peers, older Ss predicted weak and qualified empathic re

The approach tendency of young precocial birds has been found to be related to stimulus magnitude in an inverted U-shaped fashion. This paper discusses the coding and processing of stimulus information in 2 cases, namely, when the quantitative stimulus variable is (1) the size of a moving object and (2) flicker rate. It is shown that the optimal size of a moving object for eliciting approach can b

Four experiments manipulated the stimulus situation encountered by great tits on their feeding visits to the brood in order to explore its effect on feeding rate. Three broods containing 8, 8, and 10 nestlings were studied. A higher feeding rate was observed under the following conditions: (1) after a period of food deprivation, as compared with normal conditions and satiation through artifical fe

The aim of the present study was to examine how aspects of perspective taking in response to another's distress are related to prosocial behavior and dispositional affective empathy in late childhood. Perspective taking was assessed by analyzing spontaneous thoughts provoked by information about Subjects were 30 male and 30 female 10- to 11-year-olds. Children's tendency to reflect spontaneously u

Uttrycket ansvarsgenombrott förknippas i allmänhet med att aktieägarna i ett aktiebolag, trots ansvarsbegränsningen i 1 kap. 3 § ABL, görs ansvariga för aktiebolagets förpliktelser. Principen sägs ha utvecklats i praxis och antas ha tillämpats i avgöranden från Högsta domstolen (HD). Syftet med denna artikel är att undersöka i vilken mån det i rättspraxis från HD finns stöd för en sådan föreställn

Efter mer än ett halvt sekel av spekulationer om ansvarsgenombrott kommer slutligen i NJA 2014 s. 877 ett klargörande från Högsta domstolen. Klargörandet ligger emellertid inte i linje med vad som i allmänhet antagits. Av domen följer nämligen att svensk rätt inte innehåller någon regel om ansvarsgenombrott. Däremot framgår att mer allmänna rättsnormer kan medföra att en aktieägare åläggs ett ansv

While the global rush to control land resources is well established, similar ‘power-grabs’ in relation to aquatic resources are less well-known and researched. Through on-going collaborative work between representatives of fisher peoples’ movements, scholar-activists and social justice organisations such processes have recently been coined as ‘ocean grabbing’. Increasingly, under the rubric of ‘Bl

In this article we report on how 64 dentists working in a big city in southern Sweden view their profession. The dentists ranged in age from 30 to 70 years (as it was indicated in intervals of 10 years). Their professional experience ranged from 2 to 44 years (mean, 23 years). We collected their views on the ideal skills of a good dentist by means of a questionnaire. From this material we identifi

In bird species which have developed a brood reduction strategy, initial inequality among siblings is established through asynchronous hatching. After hatching, the maintenance of a weight hierarchy within the brood and its spread is governed by the allocation of feeds to the chicks and by the rate of parental feeding. In the present study, the initiation of parental feeding and subsequent changes

Distribution of food to early and late hatchcd nestlings was studied in asynchronously hatched broods of the grr,it tit P~rcrs major, the blackbird Turdus mcrula, and the fieldfare T. pilaris. Food distribution is related to the locomotory and begging behaviour and positions in the nest of these nestlings. Late hatched (small) nestlings were found to beg more often per feed than bigger nectlings a

Syftet med denna artikel är att undersöka hur goodwillformuleringar i årsredovisningar legitimerar förvärv och förvärvsbeslut. Studien undersöker de 589 goodwillformuleringar som förekommer i 1323 årsredovisningstexter för åren 2005–2010 från företag noterade på Nasdaq OMX Stockholm. Texterna undersöks med intertextuella och interdiskursiva analyser kombinerat med van Leeuwens (2007) modell för le
