Abstract Background: Person-centered care is increasingly regarded as being synonymous with best quality care. However, the concept and its precise meaning is a subject of debate, and reliable and valid measurement tools are few. This study is a part of a larger project named KUPA who´s main aim is to improve palliative care and person centeredness for elders living in nursing homes in two souther

Energisystemsmodellering med fokus på den svenska vattenkraftens förmåga att balansera en ökad andel vind- och solelproduktion Det pågår idag en global omställning av elsystemet, från fossila till förnybara energikällor. Den nya elproduktionen väntas till stor del utgöras av variabel produktion, vilket medför nya utmaningar för elsystemet. I examensarbetet utvecklas en modell för att undersöka hu

Jordbävningar i Sverige är ovanliga, så pass att dimensionering för seismisk last inte sker i Sverige med undantag för speciella byggnader såsom kärnkraftverk. Jordbävningsdimensionering regleras av Eurokod 8 och Boverket har i den svenska bilagan beslutat att inte utge föreskrifter eller allmänna råd avseende användningen av koden eftersom den torde komma till användning i Sverige enbart i mycketIn 2013 the European Seismic Hazard Model 2013 (ESHM13) was released as a result of the EU-funded project Seismic Harmonization in Europe (SHARE). This hazard model provides seismic data applicable for structural engineering for every location in Europe and Turkey that directly correlates to the seismic regulations provided by Eurocode 8. Currently, earthquake engineering according to Eurocode is

The purpose of this paper is to provide a foundation for modelling train delays as multivariate time series. A pertinent issue with this kind of analysis is that the individual time series do not follow the Gaussian normal distribution. Since the normal distribution constitutes an assumption of classical time series methods, these cannot be applied blindly to the data. The solution explored by the

Sustainability has become a leading concept in development policy and practice. The most recognized definition of sustainable development was coined by the Brundtland Commission in 1987. It provides normative guidelines for a common sustainability agenda and sees responsibility for, and benefits from, this common effort as universal. The agenda addresses stakeholders worldwide and its all-encompas

Because of increasing pressures on marine life and habitats, the overall health of the global ocean has over the latter years received attention internationally. It is therefore of relevance to analyse how the type of human-nature relationship towards the ocean is presented through what can be coined as Blue Growth. The aim of this research is to critically discuss what human-nature relationships

Background: Chromosomes can undergo various changes such as deletions, inversions, insertions, and/or translocations resulting in structural variation differences between individuals. Structural variants are a common source of variability in the human genome and have been known to be associated with common diseases such as autism, cancer, and rare human diseases [1, 2]. However, they have not yet

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis, is to relate the areas of crime theory and supply chain to the transport- and construction industry, by exploring factors that influence the occurrence of theft as well as factors that influence the police reporting tendency in the same industry. The thesis intends to support decision making in the transport- and construction industry. Design/methodology/approa
