This article explores a number-based comparative logic unfolding around a particular kind of meeting in a social work setting: a daily and short gathering referred to as a “pulse meeting”. At such meetings, staff gather around a whiteboard visualizing individual statistics in terms of the number of client meetings performed or assistance decisions made. The statistics function as a basis for furth

Agricultural ecosystems are important for regulating terrestrial hydrological and carbon cycles. Hydrological and carbon processes in agricultural ecosystem models are complex due to interactions between parameters. It is therefore crucial to identify parameter sensitivity before a process-based model is applied for simulations and predicti

This thesis presents methods to derive and model the performance characteristics of interior permanent magnet machines – a machine type which is commonly used for propulsion of electrical vehicles. The thesis divides the performance characteristics into three subcategories: The electromagnetic properties, the loss profile and the thermal behaviour of the machines. One separate characterisation met

OBJECTIVES: The influence of the amount and rate of weight loss on subsequently regaining weight and dropout from treatment in severely obese patients targeting 5% weight loss was investigated.METHODS: A total of 120 consecutive hospital patients with severe obesity (BMI: 42 ± 9 kg/m(2) ) participated in an inpatient program targeting 5% weight loss that involved goal setting, charting weight four

The long term effects of two dose regimens of latanoprost (PhXA41) administered to eyes concomitantly treated with timolol which had not adequately been controlled by timolol alone were compared. A total of 50 patients, 17 with primary open angle glaucoma and 33 with capsular glaucoma, were recruited from five clinics. All had glaucomatous visual field defects and an intraocular pressure (IOP) of

Background: Older adults with pain have an increased risk of falling (odds ratio (OR) 1,7). Pain in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is more common than in older adults. The association between pain and falling in people with PD is poorly explored.Objective: To investigate the occurrence of pain in mild PD and its association with future falls/near fallsMethods.

Problembeskrivning: Aktörerna inom detaljhandeln har idag problem med hög kapitalbindning och hård konkurrens. För den enskilde detaljisten kan det vara ödesdigert att göra felinköp av större varupartier, dels på grund av den finansiella risken, dels på grund av problemen med att upprätthålla förtroendet hos konsumenterna. Syfte: Syftet är att beskriva och utveckla samarbetet mellan detaljist och

Over 30 % of all deaths worldwide are related to cardiovascular diseases and they are the leading cause of death. Therefore, research into treatment, diagnosis and prognostication of these diseases are of critical importance. One way to examine the cardiovascular system is through the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The aim of this thesis is to create a model using the Deep Learning arc

Almost 90% of the international trade is managed by ship, which has being dominated the international transportation over hundreds of years. The role of Documents in international trade, has turned the “money and goods” transaction into later “money and documents” transaction and in the process of improving international trade, a lot of by-products have formed at the mean time, one such being docu

This paper examines the impact of zombie firms on healthy companies’ growth indicators in the Swedish market. By utilising fixed-effects regression analysis and analysing a comprehensive data set, the paper aims to shed light on the dynamics between zombies’ effects on nonzombies’ development. The findings indicate that zombies have limited effects on healthy companies in Sweden. Contrary to previ

Responsibility to protect är en princip som för första gången formades år 2001 av International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty.

Oil is the most traded commodity in the world and is an important part in the global economy. The change in the price of oil has an effect on all sectors of the economy, and the ability to capture its risk is an important research topic. This study calculates the risk of one benchmark crude oil (West Texas Intermediate) over the period 1986-2015 by estimating the Value-at-Risk (VaR) and the Expect
