Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is the most common ambulatory service delivery model for people with severe mental illness worldwide. Flexible ACT, a Dutch modification of ACT, provides comprehensive care for the entire population of people with severe mental illness (SMI). FACT combines the principles of individual case management with ACT services. Researchers found an association between mo
Tungsten (W) and niobium (Nb) belong to the refractory metal group and are used as alloying elements in steels and superalloys for high demand products. These metals are also used in a high purity single-phase state for products within nuclear, space, military and research facilities.In the current study, tool wear development and surface quality at different cutting conditions have been evaluated
Kunskapsintensiva företagstjänster (KIBS) har en nyckelroll i den ekonomiska utvecklingen. Deras konkurrenskraft och värdeskapande processer bygger på komplexa samarbetsrelationer med kunder och andra aktörer. Av den anledningen har forskningen konventionellt lyft fram att dessa företags konkurrenskraft är starkt beroende av geografisk närhet till stora klient- och arbetsmarknader liksom till avanKnowledge intensive business services (KIBS) play a key role in economic development. Due to the complex and collaborative nature of their value creation processes, it is conventionally argued that they depend strongly on physical proximity to large client-, and labour-markets, as well as on closeness to advanced knowledge infrastructures. This thesis partially questions such conventional assumpti
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) has been widely tested for chronic pain, with demonstrated efficacy. Nevertheless, although there is meta-analytical evidence on the efficacy of face-to-face ACT, no reviews have been performed on online ACT in this population. The aim of this meta-analysis is to determine the efficacy of online ACT for adults with chronic pain, when compared with controls.
It is evident that Sarajevo has major challenges to create a dynamic culture around entrepreneurship. The reports also outline major constraints entrepreneurs face when hiring and retaining qualified labour. By applying the ILO’s Inclusive Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Framework, this report presentsthe root causes behind these challenges, and proposes ways forward to better include women and young p
An investigation concerning a group of paintings sharing a common motif. The motif is the Madonna with the infants Jesus and Saint John, the Infant Jesus holding a goldfinch. Rapahel's version of the painting, in the Uffizi, is discussed in relation to a similar version of the motif that appeared in Sweden in the 1990's.
In a recent paper we presented a procedure for optimal analyticalcontrol of several deformable mirrors based on only the measured guidestar wavefronts. The expected performance was evaluated for variousguide star configurations using up to three deformable mirrors. Forsimplicity the guide stars were assumed to be infinitely distant. Inthis paper we address the effect of using laser guide stars in
The castes of social insects provide outstanding opportunities to address the causes and consequences of evolution of discrete phenotypes, i.e., polymorphisms. Here we focus on recently described patterns of a positive association between the degree of caste-specific gene expression and the rate of sequence evolution. We outline how neutral and adaptive evolution can cause genes that are morph-bia
The world is facing of a number of great challenges as the population is growing and living habits are getting more resource demanding. At the same time as food security has to be assured, growth in biofuel and meat production pose a risk for increasing land use conflicts and negative environmental consequences. In this report production of food, feed and biofuels are discussed from a land use pe
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: We report trends of stroke incidence and survival up to year 2001/2002 in Lund-Orup, Sweden, and projections of future stroke incidence in Sweden. METHODS: Lund Stroke Register, a prospective population-based study, included all first-ever stroke patients, between March 1, 2001 and February 28, 2002, in the Lund-Orup health care district. Institution-based studies for 1983
Investigations on exposure to electromagnetic have generated conflicting results both in epidemiological and laboratory studies, leaving their possible health consequences largely inconclusive. One of the well-reported reasons for the discrepancies is that there is no generally accepted theory to describe the interactions between the very weak electromagnetic fields and the living cells.

With a new regionalisation process in Europe a number of macro-regions are appearing. The same as countries or cities, macro-regions aim at developing or increasing the competitiveness in the global markets not only for products or funds, but also for ideas, influence and reputation, for trust and attention. The model of competitive identity – the brand management model for nations, cities and reg
Purpose – The purpose of this master thesis is to examine the profile of contemporary skills and knowledge provided in Logistics and Supply Chain Management (LSCM) postgraduate programs offered by Swedish universities and compares them with job requirements. Design/methodology/approach – This master thesis employs the desk-based research involving content analysis based on 14 postgraduate LSCM pro
Background: Leading the way in developing digital surveillance camera systems Axis Communications has experienced remarkable growth during the last decade and is now considered the industry leader. Maintaining the core value of high quality is challenging with ever-increasing volumes and a high rate of new product introductions. To find and resolve issues with new products, and ensure a smooth tra
