Elektroniska journalsystem är en del av den tekniska omställningen som vi ser idag inom alla branscher. De olika typerna av journalsystem har mött mycket kritik genom åren och har aldrig ansetts som fulländade. Med denna grund har vi valt att undersöka vilka de främsta problemen är som påverkar arbetet utifrån användare och experter samt se hur dessa påverkar. De teoretiska utgångspunkterna innefa

Konglomerat har länge fungerat som utmärkta arkiv vid studier av tektonik. I Skåne förekom-mer ett flertal mesozoiska konglomerat, som baserat på sin klastervariation, ger insyn i tektonisk upplyftning och avlastning samt hur den tidens landskap såg ut. Lokaler där mesozoiska konglomerat förekommer i Skåne har un-dersökts i syfte att dokumentera konglomeratens mineralogi, struktur och sammansättni

Kulturpolitik har kommit att kritiseras i mediedebatten för att utöva för mycket styrning på kulturen. Forskning har visat på hur kulturen har fått minskad status inom politiken och hur kulturen har kommit att instrumentaliseras för att göras legitim. Det saknas dock forskning på hur bedömning av offentlig kultur görs. Syftet med denna studie är att studera hur anställda på en regional kulturförva

Uppförandet av nya byggnader och renoveringar av befintliga byggnader har lett till större intresse för certifieringssystem med hårdare krav än lagstiftningen. Ökad kunskap om hållbarhet och att brukandet av jordens resurser måste reduceras har lett till miljö- och hälsocertifieringar, bl a Miljöbyggnad 3.0 som är en nationell miljöcertifiering som ställer krav på byggnaden och WELL Building StandThe development of new buildings and renovations of existing buildings has led to greater interest in certification systems with more stringent requirements than the legislation. Increased knowledge about sustainability and how the use of the earth's resources led to an increased interest of environmental- and health-certifications.

Hållbar stadsutveckling är ett viktigt och allt mer prioriterat fokus inom samhällsplanering. Inom ramen för detta har gröna lösningar (ny eller upprustad grönyta, så som parker, gröna stråk, och regnträdgårdar) på senare tid fått ökad uppmärksamhet. Grönska och naturmiljöer utgör viktiga inslag i stadsmiljön och bidrar till att göra den täta staden trivsam, levnadskraftig och attraktiv, samtidigtIn the realm of urban planning, urban greening – the creation or restoration of green spaces in cities – has risen as an attractive approach for policy-makers and planners engaged in sustainability. As the benefits of urban greening are many, from social and cultural to environmental and economic, it has become positioned as a win-win solution to several urban challenges related to sustainable dev

Degradation of the hydrological regime is a pressing issue in the Ethiopian Highlands. It is one of the most rapidly degrading landscapes due to its topography and large amounts of annual precipitation. This problem has been exacerbated through anthropogenic influence from land use/land cover (LULC) and climate change. This paper presents the effect on the hydrological cycle caused by these change

Therefore the purpose of this study was to investigate employees perceptions of the following concepts related to the new working life and potential correlational relationships amongst these constructs: Negative work life interference (negative WHI), Technology-assisted supplemental work (TASW), Job

The paper analyzes the determinants of non-performing loans in 19 European banks in Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain based on quarterly data between 2006–2018. We implement a panel data model with interactive effects, which accounts for unobserved heterogeneity and cross-sectional dependence. The estimation approach we employ uses an analytical and iterative bias correction based on the work of B
