This thesis presents and analyses the results of the prime working age (25-65), divided into two diverse groups, 25-45 and 45-65, of licensed practical nurses (LPN) perceived occupational status in the Swedish home-care business. The purpose is to understand what influences the perception of two diverse age groups of licensed practical nurses occupational status, bringing nuance to the phenomenon,
Abstract Problem: While it has been extensively studied which personal characteristics enhance entrepreneurial learning from failure, the mechanisms of how those characteristics contribute to entrepreneurial learning process has not yet been fully understood. Aim: Through a comprehensive model, this research aims to explore how different personal characteristics influence the different stages o
The following thesis research deals with the topic of the challenges technology start- ups face and overcome when hiring talents in comparison with HRM practices attributed to established firms by existing theory. As Masters in Entrepreneurship students we felt the current literature tends to focus on HR-related topics in established companies, while these subjects remain underdeveloped applying t
Det är inte ovanligt att äldre personer söker tilllogopedmottagningama fOr röstbesvär. Det är sannolikt att denna patientgrupp kommer att växa, då antalet äldre blir allt fler. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka sambandet mellan röstförändringar och ålder hos kvinnor i åldersgruppema 25-35, 50-60 san1t 70-80 år. Urvalet av försökspersoner gjordes från samtliga röstinspelningar av kvi1mliga
Denna uppsats behandlar statsvetaren Arend Lijpharts teori om konsociationalism och långfredagsavtalet som slöts 1998 på Nordirland. Uppsatsen syftar till att förklara hur stor del av denna teori som går att finna i detta avtal. Vidare intresserar sig uppsatsen för vilka konsekvenser användningen av denna teori fått. Den berör de för- och nackdelar som statsvetare diskuterar i anslutning till kons
Gender-based violence (GBV) remains a pressing public health challenge in South Africa, deeply rooted in intersecting social, economic, and structural factors. Comprehensive approaches are increasingly recognized as essential for addressing the complex nature of the issue. While efforts to prevent GBV among children and adolescents can yield long-term, sustainable outcomes, they often remain fragm
The paper examines the relationship between non-formal education activities and youth employability in the Republic of Armenia. A case study has been conducted in order to identify soft skills competitive in the labour market and see to what extent non-formal education increases youth productivity thus helping them get engaged in the job market. Another thing that the paper aims to study is the ro
Economic sanctions are defined as the exercise of pressure by one state to produce a change in the political behaviour of another state. Traditional economic sanctions are directed at the entire population of a state whilst targeted sanctions are directed at a state’s individuals. This thesis discusses the application of economic sanctions against Iran by the UN, the EU and the United States. Econ
Unsafe abortion is a major contributing factor to maternal mortality with 47,000 largely avoidable deaths occurring globally every year, the majority in the global south. Ethiopia has taken a unique approach to addressing maternal mortality impacted by unsafe abortion through a 2005 reform of the abortion legislation in which abortion is illegal but available under a range of exceptions. The purpo
Den straffrättsliga regleringen av psykiskt störda lagöverträdare har varierat genom åren. Innan BrB trädde ikraft 1965 prövade domstolen psykiskt störda lagöverträdares tillräknelighet, men i samband med en omfattande straffrättsreform utmönstrades kravet på tillräknelighet. Sedan BrB trädde ikraft har straffrätten förändrats och flera utredningar om att återinföra tillräknelighet har publicerats
Background: A panel of four kallikrein markers (total, free, and intact prostate-specific antigen [PSA] and human kallikrein-related peptidase 2 [hK2]) improves predictive accuracy for Gleason score ≥7 (high-grade) prostate cancer among men biopsied for elevated PSA. A four-kallikrein panel model was originally developed and validated by the Dutch center of the European Randomized Study of Screeni
OBJECTIVE: Treatments have failed to delay or stop the autoimmune process, preceding onset of type 1 diabetes. We investigated if autoantigen-specific treatment with alum-formulated glutamate decarboxylase (GAD-Alum) was safe and affected progression to type 1 diabetes in children with islet autoimmunity.METHODS: In an investigator-initiated, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, non-di

I efterdyningarna av finanskrisen 2008 konstaterade man bl.a. att det var ett problem att viktiga aktörer arbetade med allt för litet eget kapital, vilket gjorde dem riskbenägna. Med litet eget kapital skjuts risk i ett AB över från aktieägare till långivare. Inom bolaget finns liknande problem mellan en avdelning och bolaget och mellan anställd och bolaget. Det är helt enkelt attraktivt att ta ri
AIMS: To assess the efficacy of the 2nd generation Cryoballoon for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (PersAF), and to compare it to patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF).METHODS: The outcome (arrhythmia recurrence at 12 months) was prospectively assessed in patients with PersAF(n = 77) and compared to that in patients with PAF(n = 62), who
INTRODUCTION: Central venous catheterisation is a common procedure in intensive care therapy and the use of central venous catheters is essential for treatment of many medical disorders. Although rare, central venous catheterisation is associated with mechanical complications that can be life-threatening if untreated. Real-time ultrasound guidance reduces the incidence of mechanical complications
Randomised controlled trials conducted using cohorts and routinely collected data, including registries, electronic health records and administrative databases, are increasingly used in healthcare intervention research. A Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) statement extension for trials conducted using cohorts and routinely collected data (CONSORT-ROUTINE) has been developed with
The costly and complex needs for children with long-term illness are challenging. Safe eHealth communication is warranted to facilitate health improvement and care services. This mixed-methods study aimed to describe parents’ usage and experiences of communicating with professionals during hospital-to-home-transition after their child’s preterm birth or surgery for col-orectal malformations, using
A search for dark-matter particles in events with large missing transverse momentum and a Higgs boson candidate decaying into two photons is reported. The search uses 139 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data collected at s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the CERN LHC between 2015 and 2018. No significant excess of events over the Standard Model predictions is observed. The results are interpre
Occurring at rates up to 6-7 syllables per second, speech perception and understanding involves rapid identification of speech sounds and pre-activation of morphemes and words. Using event-related potentials (ERPs) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we investigated the time-course and neural sources of pre-activation of word endings as participants heard the beginning of unfolding wOccurring at rates up to 6-7 syllables per second, speech perception and understanding involves rapid identification of speech sounds and pre-activation of morphemes and words.
