Studien i fråga hade som huvudsyfte att undersöka moralisk stress hos rekryterare på rekryterings- och bemanningsföretag i privat verksamhet i Sverige. Vidare syfte var att undersöka dilemman av fyra andra psykologiska faktorer kopplat till arbetet som är relevanta för moralisk stress: kognition, emotion, kontroll, samt stressreaktioner. För moralisk stress och samtliga faktorer undersöktes skillnThe study aimed at examining recruiter’s experience of moral stress at recruiting and staffing companies in Sweden. Further purpose was to investigate dilemmas of four other psychological factors related to work, relevant for moral stress: cognition, emotion, control, and stress reactions. For moral stress and all other factors, differences based on sexes and work experience were investigated. An

Circular economy has recently become a central part of European policy, bridging the environmental and economic policy domains closer than ever in an attempt to fulfil enhanced environmental ambitions. As economic operators seek to adopt innovative solutions, the issue of how established legal frameworks hamper or facilitate them becomes central. This thesis examines this point in relation to on

The global semiconductor industry has benefited from a period of intense geographic specialization, yet faces the growing prospect of a new era of turbulence in international trade relations. Severely disrupted by exogenous shocks in global supply chains, the ability of the industry to cater to ceaseless demand growth is jeopardized by an increasing number of initiatives proposed for most industri

We propose a method for detection of the degree of infection in the paranasal sinuses utilizing a previously published method whereby the viscosity in a sealed container may be measured using an ultrasound Doppler method. As ultrasound propagates in a liquid medium, due to attenuation, the resulting pressure gradient will cause the liquid to move in the propagation direction - the wellknown effect

In an attempt to quantitatively evaluate the natural versus anthropogenic signal in site fire histories, the statistical relationship between dendrochronologically dated fire events and tree-ring chronologies (deemed to be an independent proxy for climate variation) was analyzed for 14 sites in a 2600-km(2) area of pine-dominated forests in the Komi Republic (East European Russia) over the period

Objective: To assess available evidence on the use of end-points ( outcome measures) in clinical trials in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), as a part of the development of evidence-based recommendations for points to consider in clinical trials in SLE. Methods: The European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) Task Force on SLE comprised 19 specialists, a clinical epidemiologist and a research fel

In Nampula province, Mozambique, there is a high number of water wells considered as having failed for having too low a pumping yield. Two Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) measurement campaigns were conducted in the area for evaluating the reasons of failures. However, in some cases it was difficult to verify and interpret the ERT results by only using the inadequate lithological descriptio

Policymakers in publicly funded health-care systems are frequently required to make intricate decisions on which health-care services to include or exclude from the basic health-care package. Although it seems likely that the concept of individual responsibility is an essential feature of such decisions, it is rarely explicitly articulated or evaluated in health policy. This paper presents a tenta

Background. The procedure of human islet isolation needs further optimization and standardization. Here, we describe techniques to enhance enzymatic digestion and minimize mechanical forces during the digestion process. The isolation protocol has also been modified to meet current GMP (cGMP) standards. Moreover, the impact of donor- and process-related factors was correlated to the use of islets f

Pinocytosis induced by Na+ was assayed by phase contrast microscopy in 8–12 days starvedAmoeba proteus. These cultures were inactive with respect to calcium-dependent Na+-induced pinocytosis, but treatment with amino acid methyl and ethyl esters increased their capacity for pinocytosis. Besides promoting pinocytosis these compounds also stimulated calcium-sensitive secretion of lysosomal enzymes f

Background and purpose — Patients having a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) after a previous high tibial osteotomy (HTO) constitute a minor group among those undergoing primary TKA for knee osteoarthritis (OA). There have been few reports on whether such patients differ pre- and postoperatively from those who undergo TKA as the first measure. We evaluated patient characteristics, knee-related pain, f

Within the insect order Lepidoptera (moths and butterflies), the so-called nonditrysian superfamilies are mostly species-poor but highly divergent, offering numerous synapomorphies and strong morphological evidence for deep divergences. Uncertainties remain, however, and tests of the widely accepted morphological framework using other evidence are desirable. The goal of this paper is to test previ

A mm-wave divide-by-two circuit with high injection efficiency, implemented in a 28-nm fully-depleted silicon-on-insulator (FD-SOI) CMOS process is demonstrated stand-alone, as well as using an on-chip voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) as the input signal source. Measurements show that the divider has a 30.1 % tuning range centered at an output frequency of 24 GHz, at an input signal power of -1

Background: Cluster analyses have proposed different diabetes phenotypes using age, BMI, glycaemia, homoeostasis model estimates, and islet autoantibodies. We tested whether comprehensive phenotyping validates and further characterises these clusters at diagnosis and whether relevant diabetes-related complications differ among these clusters, during 5-years of follow-up. Methods: Patients with new

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ny innovativ processdesign har resulterat i två processer som kan göra tillverkningen av förnyelsebara plaster och bränslen konkurrenskraftiga mot dagens fossila alternativ. Den nya designen har gjort vissa processteg upp mot 40 gånger så effektiva som med dagens teknik. Vikten av att ställa om dagens samhälle, som till stor del är beroende av fossila resurser, till eIt is important to replace fossil resources such as oil, coal and natural gas with renewable raw materials for the production of materials and fuels in order to reduce environmental impact. Furthermore, these raw materials should preferably be residues, e.g. agricultural or forest residues, in order not to compete with the production of human food and animal feed. High molecular weight arabinoxyla

In recent years the development and use of crash prediction models for roadway safety analyses have received substantial attention. These models, also known as safety performance functions (SPFs), relate the expected crash frequency of roadway elements (intersections, road segments, on-ramps) to traffic volumes and other geometric and operational characteristics. A commonly practiced approach for

Abstract in UndeterminedCytomegalovirus (CMV) causes severe sequelae in congenitally infected newborns and may cause life-threatening disease in immuno-deficient patients. Recent findings demonstrate the possibility to alleviate the disease by infusing intravenous immunoglobulin G (IgG) preparations, indicating that antibodies are an effective therapeutic option.
