Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund: Patientflödet genom en akutmottagning regleras framförallt av tre typer av faktorer. Dessa rör i tur och ordning inflödet-, genomflödet- och utflödet av patienter. Faktorer som reglerar inflödet rör efterfrågan på sjukvård (t.ex. samhällsdemografi och tillgång på primärvård), medan faktorer som reglerar genomflödet till största delen rör akutmottagningens inteBackground: Emergency Department (ED) overcrowding occurs when the need for ED services outstrips available resources. Causes have been divided into input, throughput, and output factors, of which the last appear to be the most influential. Unavailability of inpatient beds (so-called “access block,” or “hospital crowding”) impairs ED output and is associated with increased waiting times in the ED
During the last 10 years Sweden's municipalities have changed their eldercare organisation. From a traditional organisation with an executive official of aid who even had the staff responsibility in the execution to a separate or specialized organization where the official only have the exercise of public authority. The evaluators of aid (biståndsbedömare) have the title executive officials (b
Popular Abstract in Swedish Dödligheten i skador i Sverige har under de senaste årtiondena minskat, en minskning som idag dock har planat ut. Antalet dödade i transportolyckor och i arbetsplatsolyckor i Sverige har minskat under de senaste 40 åren vilket kan ses som ett resultat av ett effektivt säkerhetsarbete. När det gäller fallolyckor så har däremot andelen som dör av sina skador ökat markant Injuries are often associated with long-term suffering and lowered functioning, and personal injuries impose a huge burden on medical care and health services in addition to the costs associated with impaired functional ability. Each year in Sweden, falling accidents are experienced by a third of those aged 60 or over and half of those aged 80 or over, while injuries from traffic accidents still a
Objectives: It has been well established that male erectile dysfunction is frequently associated with vascular diseases. The normal function of cavernous arteries is considered a prerequisite to maintain sufficient blood flow to the trabecular spaces in order to enable penile erection. Contractility of cavernous arteries is regulated by the peripheral autonomic nervous system and endogenous factor
The rise in CDOM (coloured dissloved organic matter) is likely to be relatively more pronounced in remote northern regions. However, there is a lack of monitoring to confirm this. For this reason, there is a strong incentive to develop remote sensing-based methods to map CDOM in lakes across broader geographical scales and to include geograghic contex in such analysis. There is a lack of understan
Problem description: A vast amount of research has been done on outsourcing due to the trend of outsourcing activities to low-cost countries that have influenced the manufacturing industry. However, many researchers emphasize that there is not enough research conducted on the subject of insourcing decisions. Hence, it is necessary to explore this area further to create a deeper understanding of th
Vårt examensarbete har handlat om att uppleva byggandet. Vi har helt själva, med enstaka hjälp av vänner och familj, och med begränsade ekonomiska medel, uppfört ett 20 kvm stort hus intill Arkitektskolan i Lund. Den centrala frågeställningen är: Hur är det att vara arkitekt och byggare samtidigt, och vad är speciellt med ett arkitektbyggt hus? Motiveringen till frågan är att utbildningen saknar Our master thesis project is about experiencing the act of building. We have all by ourselves, with occasional help from friends and family, and with limited economic resources, built a 20 m2 building besides Lund’s Architecture School. Our question formulation is: How is it to be the architect and the builder at the same time, and what is so special with a building built by an architect? We just
Popular science summary: Do bacteria survive in humans by eating the defense molecules during the course of infection? Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) is a pathogen that can be found in the human gut which causes a wide range of infections including urinary tract infections, cardiovascular infections and bacteremia (presence of bacterial cells in blood stream). These bacteria can also be fou
The pedagogic purposes and ambitions of both museums and archives are in many ways alike. Their intentions and purposes as institutions in our society are also in many ways very similar to each other, not at least when it comes to the fact that they are both working towards preserving and communicating our cultural heritage and our history. Still though the museums are much better known, recognize
Splicing in cancer Proteins are functional molecules responsible for every biochemical process that sustain living organisms. However, how genetic information is expanded to generate amazing diversity of proteins during development and in cancer remains still mostly unresolved. The mechanism we have to account for this diversity is known as splicing. Information-containing RNA molecules, copies
Förevarande uppsats syftar till att utreda vilka drivkrafter som föregick och motiverade rättsutvecklingen inom prostitutionslagstiftningen mellan åren 1850 och 1999. Därtill redogör uppsatsen för hur statsmaktens inställning gentemot prostitution och prostituerade kvinnor tog sig uttryck i den legisla-tiva utvecklingsprocessen. Arbetet har genomförts med hjälp av en rättshisto-risk metod för att This paper aims to investigate the driving forces that preceded and motivated the developments of the law in legislation concerning prostitution between the years of 1850 and 1999 in Sweden. Further more, the paper describes how the state's attitude towards prostitution and prostituted women was expressed in the legislative development process. The work has been undertaken using a legal-histor
Det svenska nämndemannasystemet har en nästan tusenårig tradition, men har samtidigt varit ett institut i ständig förändring, vars roll förändrats väsentligt från när det först infördes i Sveriges rättskipning, till dagens moderna system. I början fungerade nämnden endast som en form av bevismedel, men fick sedan en ren domarroll för att senare reduceras till en rådgivande funktion. Efter att nämnThe Swedish lay judge system is a nearly thousand year old tradition, but has during that time been an institution in constant change, whose role has changed significantly from when it was first introduced into Sweden’s administration of justice until today’s modern system. The lay judges were originally used as a means of proof, thereafter functioned as ordinary judges, to later be reduced to adv
2024 godkände Lunds kommun en ny strategi för utveckling av Lunds stadskärna. I strategin läggs ett anmärkningsvärt förslag fram: att ta bort de vanliga stadsbussarna från stadskärnan, och ersätta dem med lokala minibussar. Små stadskärnebussar är i sig inget nytt koncept, men fungerar vanligen som ett komplement till den ordinarie kollektivtrafiken; inte som en ersättning. Studier av jämförbara lIn 2024, Lund municipality approved a new strategic document about enhancing the city centre of Lund. In this document, a questionable suggestion is put forth: to replace the buses serving the city centre with minibuses. City centre minibuses is not an entirely new concept; however, it is conventionally used as a complement to ordinary buses rather than as a replacement. Studies on similar measure
Background: The purpose of this study is to validate a new five-tiered prognostic classification system to better discriminate cancer-specific mortality in men diagnosed with primary non-metastatic prostate cancer. Methods: We applied a recently described five-strata model, the Cambridge Prognostic Groups (CPGs 1-5), in two international cohorts and tested prognostic performance against the curren
As a result of the huge economic and industrial development that human has been experiencing for decades or centuries, there are millions of potentially contaminated sites around the globe. Potentially contaminated sites are those which industrial, agricultural, mining and waste containment activities with potential to contaminate soil and groundwater has taken place in. A small number of these co
In the domain of current spatial semiotics two important, but also radically different, approaches can be distinguished as modelling the co-operative agency of human, material and legal properties of space, namely that of Manar Hammad’s and that of Bruno Latour’s. Hammad, being a semiotician, more true to the Greimasian heritage, regards a finite set of principal actantial types (owners, visitors,
Construction in rock is associated with risks because knowledge of the geology and ground conditions is limited. Unforeseen rock conditions involve a large risk to the project and can in the end entail delays and extra costs. To minimize the risks, an optimized pre-investigation program has to be conducted where essential information is gathered in order to make the best decisions throughout the c
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen kretsar kring centralbankens möjligheter att kontrollera inflationstakten. Under senare tid har mycket forskning ägnats åt att analysera och utvärdera de institutionella förutsättningarna för centralbanker, såväl avseende graden av oberoende som vilka mål penningpolitiken bör inriktas mot; exempelvis direkta inflationsmål versus användandet av indirekta målAfter an introductory chapter, the hypothesis is made in chapter two: that central bank power to control the rate of inflation rests on the bank’s ability to achieve a role as a focal point for inflation. Inflation is a measure of changes in the general price level, the price level is an index of individual prices, and to predict future price levels is thus to predict future prices on individual i
It is generally maintained that learning should be a part of the daily routines of many organizations; this is often referred to as lesson learned processes. The purpose of organizational learning is to foster improvements that seek to both reduce incidents and accidents and reduce their consequences when they nevertheless happen. Safety work is widespread among many organizations, e.g. aviation,
