The nature of today’s business demands that Business Analytics (BA) extends to an operational level to better support employees in their decision-making. This is noticeable from the constant requests for new reports and changes in old ones at different employee levels. As a result, BA specialists or other power-users in functional departments are “bombarded” by these requests, and it becomes more

Background: Nomenclature for mesh insertion during ventral hernia repair is inconsistent and confusing. Several terms, including ‘inlay’, ‘sublay’ and ‘underlay’, can refer to the same anatomical planes in the indexed literature. This frustrates comparisons of surgical practice and may invalidate meta-analyses comparing surgical outcomes. The aim of this study was to establish an international cla

Background: Hepatopancreatoduodenectomy (HPD) is an aggressive operation for treatment of advanced bile duct and gallbladder cancer associated with high perioperative morbidity and mortality, and uncertain oncological benefit in terms of survival. Few reports on HPD from Western centers exist. The purpose of this study was to evaluate safety and efficacy for HPD in European centers. Method: Member

According to a recent conjecture in the literature, earnings have become a poorer proxy for cash flow from operations over time. We find that since 1988, when cash flow statements started to be consistently reported in Compustat, the cash effectiveness of earnings has actually increased for a large sample of U.S. manufacturing firms. This occurs despite the introduction of fair value accounting an

This study is the first to use a newly-developed material via hydrothermal method, cerium oxide nanowires doped with reduced graphene oxide (CNW-RGO) for reductive H2 production. The detailed characteristics of the CNW-RGO materials were investigated to explore the capabilities of reductive production. The mean diameter of the CNWs was uniform at 22 nm. Owing to RGO-doping, the energy gap between

Den nya mediemiljön med sociala medier gör det möjligt att konstruera och styra mediebilden av sig själv, men ett ständigt informationsflöde bidrar till en kamp om uppmärksamheten. Det finns flertalet exempel på personer som ständigt figurerar i medierna och som spelar spelet om respekt i offentligheten, men vissa frotterar sig i finrummen medan andra inte gör det. Hur kommer detta sig? Studiens m

The transition towards a sustainable society has become more and more an urban challenge due to a dramatic shift from rural to urban living over the past century. Cities cause environmental and social problems and offer solutions to many sustainability challenges. Living Labs are research infrastructures embedded in a real-life environment, which have recently emerged as a tool for urban governanc

Popular science summary Are aerial drones the future for wild boar crop damage surveys? The wild boars are back, and they have returned in force. This is a rather recent trend since wild boars were extinct in Sweden until the 1970s and since then they have multiplied explosively, spreading all over central and southern Sweden. Their re-appearance has led to conflicts with human interests, namel

Asylum seekers and refugees are one of the most demonised and marginalised social groups in Europe. Ireland's current agenda for dealing with refugees and asylum seekers is inadequate. The government of Ireland is aware of the inadequacy of response and has proposed to make a number of changes that will improve the standard of living for those who chose to apply for inclusion in Ireland.

This present study aims to explore the connection between social relationships with colleagues and intrinsic motivation at work. The sample consisted of 111 male and female teachers working with 4-9th graders in schools located in the south of Sweden. Data was collected using a web-based questionnaire. Results showed a strong positive correlation between the variable social relationships and the v

Protein design can be used to make better variants of a protein by changing the primary structure of proteins. An assay is needed to select for a better protein variant, generally these assays work on proteins with an activity. But sometimes proteins are designed to obtain a specific structure instead of an activity or function. These proteins often have no activity and there is no easy way to sel

Långt innan barnet säger sitt första ord börjar det analysera världen runt sig och mycket energi läggs på att forma kategorier för objekt, personer, situationer och händelser. Allt eftersom barnet bygger upp sitt lexikon krävs ytterligare kategorisering, även utifrån abstraktionsnivå. Skolåldern innebär nya möjligheter för barnet att utveckla sitt lexikon, både vad gäller storlek och organisation.

RNA interference (RNAi) has recently been discovered in the budding yeast Saccharomyces castellii. As in other organisms, artificial RNAi could be a useful genetic tool in budding yeast, but the method needs first to be established. S. castellii is also a useful model for telomerase studies, and a knockdown of the telomerase catalytic subunit Est2p could be a new way of unrevealing its functions a

The aim of this intervention study was to investigate possible effects of dialectical behavior therapy skills training (DBT-ST) for staffs at a residential treatment center for patients with serious mental illness. Eighteen staffs divided in two groups were assessed before and after participation in DBT-ST. The intervention lasted one year for each group. Mean number of self-injuries each month we
