Good communication is of utmost importance in all forms of cancer care and especially so in the palliative context. To render the ungraspable graspable, metaphors are frequently used drawing on their capacity to capture the intangible in terms of more familiar experiences. For instance, to die from cancer can be described as ’coming to the end of a life journey’ or ’losing a battle’. Metaphors are

Bridge splitting in chloroform of the orthometalated chloro-bridged complex [Pt(mu-Cl)(2-Me2NCH2C6H4)](2) (1), with ethene, cyclooctene, allyl alcohol and phosphine according to 1 + 2L --> 2 [PtCl(2-Me2NCH2C6H4)(L)], where L = C2H4 (3a), C8H14, (3b), CH2CHCH2OH (3c), and PPh3 (4a and 4b) gives monomeric species with L coordinated trans or cis to aryl. With olefins the thermodynamically stable isom

The fractional dispersion model for natural rivers, extended by including a first order reaction term, contains four parameters. In order to estimate these parameters a fractional Laplace transform-based method is developed in this paper. Based on 76 dye test data measured in natural streams, the new parameter estimation method shows that the fractional dispersion operator parameter F is the contr

Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) compose a rare population of undifferentiated cells, residing in the bone marrow of adult individuals, ensuring life-long maintenance and replenishment of the blood system. This fantastic achievement is possible owing to two special characteristics of the HSCs: their ability to make copies of themselves (self-renew), and their capacity to differentiate to all lineag

År 2015 blev ett rekordår för Sverige vad gäller immigration. 163 000 människor sökte asyl i landet varav omkring 35 000 av dem var ensamkommande flyktingbarn. De omfattande flyktingströmmarna kom att påverka Migrationsverkets handläggningstid på asylärenden vilket resulterat i långa handläggningstider och försenade beslut. Dessa omständigheter har vidare lett till att de ensamkommande barnen hunnWhen it comes to immigration, the year of 2015 became a record year for Sweden. In 2015, 163 000 people applied for asylum in Sweden, of whom about 35 000 of them, were unaccompanied refugee children. The extensive inflow of refugees had a comprehensive impact on the Migration Agency and its timeframes for processing the applications for asylum. This resulted in extended processing times and delay

Empowerment is a well-known slogan that symbolizes the struggle of marginalized groups against social injustices. This thesis is another contribution to the field of empowerment, addressing the issue of misusing public funds. Public Expenditure Tracking Survey, PETS, is a methodology that has been carried out in order to fight against this issue. In this study, the aim is to scrutinize whether PET

The production philosophy at Tetra Pak Japan is make-to-order. Although, in reality it is more make-to-stock due to the current pricing structure based on discounts for large volume orders. As a result, the inventory levels are high and the responsiveness towards customer demand is limited. Alongside, the marketplace is changing and the competition is increasing. This calls for a change in the sup

Den rådande marknaden har nått en punkt där teknisk innovation och tekniska egenskaper har blivit mindre viktiga konkurrensmedel, varför TechCo har insett vikten av tidig brukarinvolvering i innovationsprocessen. För att kunna dra fördel av brukarinvolvering så krävs det emellertid ett innovativt klimat och en effektiv FFE-process. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka hur pass förbereddAs the topical engineering industry has reached a point where technical innovation and technical features have become less important as means of competition, TechCo has realized the importance of user involvement in their early stages of development. However, in order to absorb this new input flow, certain prerequisites are needed namely an innovative climate and a proficient FFE. The purpose of t

This thesis was conducted at Enics manufacturing unit in Västerås. This site employs 360 people out of a total of 2400 globally. The site produces electronics and is specialised toward low volumes and spare parts. The site has problems with high inventory levels, long lead times and less than preferred service level towards customers. This is the reason for the project which will investigate if it

Åren 2015 och 2016 har flera fall uppmärksammats där en kapitalstark hedgefond förvärvat aktier överstigande tio procent av bolag som är föremål för ett offentligt uppköpserbjudande. Syftet har varit att blockera förvärvet och framtvinga högre bud från förvärvaren. Ett sådant agerande möjliggörs av reglerna om tvångsinlösen, offentliga uppköpserbjudande och av hur hedgefonder regleras i lagstiftnDuring the years of 2015 and 2016 several cases were observed in which a hedge fund with large resources bought more than ten percent of companies that were subjects of public takeover offers. The purpose was to block the takeover in order to force the bidder to raise the offer. This kind of action is made possible by the laws and regulations regarding squeeze-outs, public takeover offers and hed

2008 ändrades den svenska sjukförsäkringsprocessen till ett nytt system, rehabiliteringskedjan. Rehabiliteringskedjan är i lag fastslagna tidpunkter i sjukskrivningsprocessen, där den sjukskrivnes arbetsförmåga ska prövas mot olika bedömningsgrunder. Den första är mot sina ordinarie arbetsuppgifter, den andra mot vad ens arbetsgivare kan erbjuda och den tredje är mot ett arbete som anses vara normIn 2008 the system for the assessment process within the Swedish sickness benefit was changed, into the rehabilitation chain.
