In recent years outsourcing of public health care activities has increased in Sweden. Outsourcing of public health care activities involves possibilities of innovation and improvement according to many, but there are difficulties with how to maintain and control quality in the outsourced activities. The focus of this thesis is on how quality is ensured when public activities are subject to contrac

Hypoxia is common in many solid tumours, including breast cancer. Hypoxia triggers the expression of hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha), and HIF-1 alpha has been associated with an impaired prognosis in breast cancer and down-regulation of the oestrogen receptor (ER), potentially affecting the treatment efficiency of antioestrogens. The role of HIF-1 alpha regarding prognostic and trea

ObjectiveTo study the impact of swollen to tender joint count ratio (STR) and other baseline characteristics on treatment response to a first course of anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) therapy in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. MethodsPatients with RA initiating their first course of anti-TNF treatment were included in a structured clinical followup protocol. Based on pragmatic thresholds

This thesis examines how contrasting corporate digital strategies shape frontline hotel employees’ ability to balance chain-level systems with local service responsiveness. The study treats chain-level digital systems as contemporary fixed elements of hotel formats by applying and building up on the Integration-Responsiveness framework, Flexible Replication, and sociotechnical perspectives, in par

The impact of the sourcing department has gotten more and more attention in the past couple of decades. This has resulted in numerous frameworks and scorecards to guide companies through different sourcing decisions. This interest in sourcing has grown side by side with the increased globalisation and outsourcing. Therefore, relevant measurable criteria have moved from a supplier-oriented level, t

This research is a part of a new, up and coming field in exploring differential dynamic microscopy (DDM) as a method for research in biomaterials. DDM is a method that enables the possibilities of working with non-transformed images in real time while still providing information about the dynamics without the need for complex optics or lasers. The analysis is possible through the Fourier Transform

Theft, smuggling, counterfeiting and terror attacks constitute serious security threats against private stakeholders and national economies. R&D in the field of ITS has mostly focused on solutions that improve transportation efficiency and safety. This article illustrates a framework for cost-benefit analyses to support design and investment in ITS security systems. Next, it shows how a networ

The acoustic cavitation phenomenon is a source of energy for a wide range of applications such as sonoluminescence and sonochemistry. The behavior of a single bubble in liquids is an essential study for acoustic cavitation. The bubbles react with the pressure forces in liquids and reveal their full potential when periodically driven by acoustic waves. As a result of extreme compression of the bubb

BACKGROUND: The current model of care for individuals with breast cancer focuses on treatment of the disease, followed by ongoing surveillance to detect recurrence. This approach lacks attention to patients' physical and functional well-being. Breast cancer treatment sequelae can lead to physical impairments and functional limitations. Common impairments include pain, fatigue, upper-extremity dy

The mobile phone is one of the most widespread devices with rendering capabilities. Those capabilities have been very limited because the resources on such devices are extremely scarce; small amounts of memory, little bandwidth, little chip area dedicated for special purposes, and limited power consumption. The small display resolutions present a further challenge; the angle subtended by a pixel i
