In this paper we outline a method for systematically addressing needs assessment (QUALISEM-PEOPLE), alongside a case study of its use within a medium sized, German company. The method was designed in order to provide guidance in analysing skill and role competences, particularly when e-learning systems are being considered for training purposes. The method proved to be successful within the compan

Laser-induced fluorescence for remote imaging of historical monuments is an established technique, which in this work has been used in measurement campaigns at the Coliseum and the Baptistery of San Giovanni in Laterano in Rome, Italy. The results presented here are examples that show that biodeteriogens can be monitored and that. materials can be identified. Also, cleaned and soiled areas on the

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka vi-berättaren i Julie Otsukas The Buddha in the Attic utifrån Mikhail Bakhtins resonemang om heteroglossi. Begreppet heteroglossi beskriver ett språkligt fenomen som innebär att ett nationellt språk innehåller en mängd olika sociala språk. Enligt Bakhtin är förekomsten av heteroglossi även ett av de drag som särskiljer romanen från övriga litterära gen

In February 2015 the British Parliament adopted the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 for the purpose of filling gaps in the previous counterterrorism legislations. The temporary restriction on travel measures thus introduced, target the increasing problem with so-called foreign fighters and consist of two elements. The power to seize and retain passports and/or travel documents entrusts a p

In this essay, the feminine ideals in Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse, Doris Lessing’s “To Room Nineteen” and Alice Munro’s “Too Much Happiness” are analysed and compared to the ideal of the Angel in the House – an ideal that originates from Coventry Patmore’s poem The Angel in the House and was popularised by Virginia Woolf’s paper “Professions for Women”. In addition, the consequences of this

Background More than one in five patients who undergo treatment for breast cancer will develop breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL). BCRL can occur as a result of breast cancer surgery and/or radiation therapy. BCRL can negatively impact comfort, function, and quality of life (QoL). Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD), a type of hands-on therapy, is frequently used for BCRL and often as part of com

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to compare the Nation Branding initiatives of Sweden and Germany in order to identify important factors while navigating their Nation Brand. A framework has been developed on the basis of existing theory which has been tested on the objects of the case study. The purpose was to demonstrate possible empirical correlations not described by the theory. Finally the pa

The result of this research is, that the Kennedy myth lived in a symbiotic relationship with the political mission of John F Kennedy during his time in the White House. The myth was as present – as the real politics of Kennedy – during his presidency. The Kennedy myth was a tool for John Kennedy to reach the White House. This myth was natural in a country as America, where the American Dream is fu

The purpose of this thesis was to examine climate related human mobility in the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC). The adverse effect of climate change in SADC is mainly linked to increasing rainfall variability and a higher frequency or intensity of floods and droughts. These effects are a major challenge for human security. Climate change has emerged as one of the most pressing, unres

The HST has provided visual images of the universe of unprecedented clarity and sensitivity. It is less widely known that the HST/GHRS has provided equally breathtaking views of a different kind Of "universe" - a "spectroscopic universe". Nowhere is this better seen than in the extraordinarily complex and beautiful ultraviolet spectrum of the ultra-sharp-lined, non-magnetic, chemically peculiar (C

This chapter begins with the assumption that political organisations are stable institutions which contain biases to benefit certain issues and actors in society. The European Union’s Fifth Environmental Action Programme was finally adopted by the Council in February of 1993. The programme is entitled Toward Sustainability and will guide the European Union’s environmental legislation into the next

Abundances for the elements W, Os, and Bi are presented for the HgMn star chi Lupi, based upon GHRS echelle-mode spectra and a synthetic spectrum analysis. The tungsten abundance is consistent with a solar-system value while the osmium and bismuth abundances reflect enhancements. With these new data we are able to quantitatively define an abundance peak within the element range Z = 74 through 83.

Introduction: The hepatic cytochrome P450 system includes the polymorphic CYP2D6 gene. CYP2D6 ultra rapid metabolizers (UMs) were 10-fold more common in suicide victims than in the general population in a previous study. The aim of this study was to investigate if the occurrence of the CYP2D6 UM genotype differs between subjects with and without previous suicide attempt in patients treated for dep
