Postpartum hemorrhage is responsible for one fourth of the maternal mortality worldwide. In high resource countries there is an increasing trend in frequency of postpartum hemorrhage and need of blood transfusions. The reason for this increase is probably multifactorial. Major bleeding requires massive blood transfusion (MT), defined as transfusion of >10 units of erythrocytes within 24 hours. In

The focus of this study is how intended users of the built environment are categorized in strategies, policies, and guidelines for the planning and building process. The image of the intended user reflects a disabling society that also is in conflict with established policies on a society for all. Patterns of inequality are found in the materials, both within and across groups of users. With youth

Means–ends decoupling, the institutionally induced implementation of ineffective practices, has become increasingly common. Extant theory suggests that means–ends decoupling has real consequences, which makes it unstable and difficult for organizations to sustain. Yet little is known of how, and with what outcomes, firms organize such means–ends decoupling. We examine organizing via multiple quali

We propose a method for identifying and ranking critical components and sets of components in technical infrastructures. Criticality is defined as the vulnerability of the system to failure in a specific component, or set of components. The identification of critical components is increasingly difficult when considering multiple simultaneous failures, especially component failures with synergistic

This paper draws on the metaphor of ‘magic’ to explore the role of dialogue conferences and subsequent activities as a tool for organizational development and change. It is argued that the magic metaphor is a useful means for critically assessing the role of dialogue conferences in developmental processes, as magic is essentially double-edged in nature. On the one hand, magic is an activity wherei

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of trust on the predictive power of the Solow growth model, extended to use human capital as a growth inducing factor. Previous literature widely agrees that non-economic variables are, indeed, of great importance in predicting the growth of economies, and hence, we choose to develop a growth model taking the levels of trust into account, seei

An ERP system is a company spanning program that handles everything from production and logistics to sales and customer support. They are extremely costly to implement and thus exclude smaller businesses from usage. By using an open source solution the total cost can be reduced to modification and support costs, eliminating the acquisition and license costs. In this thesis we construct a framework

Denna uppsats behandlar frågan om huruvida aktiebolagslagen är anpassad till de snabbväxande s k Gasellföretagen, framförallt utifrån lagens minimikrav och flexibilitet. Syftet med uppsatsen är att genom en empirisk studie dra slutsatser kring huruvida besluten i dessa företag fattas av rätt bolagsorgan och på rätt sätt samt om de dokumenteras korrekt. Inledningsvis behandlas definitionen av Gas

A species phenology is central to its ecology. Phenology is linked to development time and in extension size. Phenological differences can be found in both inter- and intraspecific comparisons. Sexual dimorphisms in phenology (protandry and protogyny) has been linked to sexual size dimorphism (SSD). In this study I use odonates, popular model organisms for studies of development and sexual dimorph
