BackgroundEven though the importance of a facilitator during an implementation process is well described, the facilitator’s role is rarely problematized in relation to the organizational context in terms of power and legitimacy; themes which have recently been brought to the fore when studying change in health care organizations. Therefore, in this article, we present a qualitative study with the

Trade-offs exist among the multiple ecosystem services (ES) generated by forests. Generally, wood production conflicts with the provisioning of public-good ES such as the storage of carbon, nutrient retention and conservation of biodiversity. Recognizing that forests generate both private- and public-good ES implies that forestry should be optimized to maximize the contribution of forests to socie

Physical activity has been proposed to be beneficial for prevention of depression, although the importance of exercise intensity, sex-specific mechanisms, and duration of the effects need to be clarified. Using an observational study design, following 395,369 individuals up to 21 years we studied whether participation in an ultralong-distance cross-country ski race was associated with lower risk o

The role of diet in type 1 diabetes development is poorly understood. Metabolites, which reflect dietary response, may help elucidate this role. We explored metabolomics and lipidomics differences between 352 cases of islet autoimmunity (IA) and controls in the TEDDY (The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young) study. We created dietary patterns reflecting pre-IA metabolite difference

This paper is based on a lecture held in Nagoya, Japan as part of a seminar on issues relating to disabled women, sexuality and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). I present preliminary results from the research project Sexual Citizenship and Disability: Implications for Theory, Practice and Policy, which focuses on sexual rights for people with mobility impairments. The data compris

Agricultural soils contribute to human welfare through their generation of manifold ecosystem services such as food security, water quality and climate regulation, but these are degraded by common farming practices. We have developed a roadmap for evaluating the contribution of both private- and public-good ecosystem services generated by agricultural soils to societal welfare. The approach consid

Background: Enhanced recovery program for pancreaticoduodenectomy have become standard care. Little is known about adherence rates and sustainability of the program, especially when pancreaticogastrostomy is used in reconstruction. The aim of this study was, therefore, to evaluate adherence rates and continued outcome, after implementation of an enhanced recovery program. Methods: Consecutive pati

New δ34Spy (pyrite) and δ34SCAS (carbonate-associated sulfate) across the Llandovery-Wenlock boundary (∼432 Ma) provide evidence for the expansion of reduced marine environments during the Ireviken Biogeochemical Event. This event consists of a major positive carbon isotope excursion, increased biotic turnover, and other major perturbations and changes within biogeochemical cycles. This interval o

ABSTRACT Author: Amanda Larsson Title: Origin and Identity – A study about how adoptees can apprehend the significance of the biological family for who they are Supervisor: Mikael Sandgren The purpose of this study is to find what meaning the biological family has for the sense of identity among adoptees as well as what meaning the possibility to be able to talk about the adoption with the adopti

The aim of this research paper is to evaluate the extent to which the definition of slavery, exemplified through the 1926 Slavery Convention, offers a viable alternative to the definition of human trafficking under the 2000 Trafficking Protocol. The focus of the comparison centres on the role of consent on behalf of trafficked or enslaved persons, embedded in the respective definitions, and the fu

Uppmärksammandet av att organisationer har ett arbetsgivarvarumärke, i kombination med en ökad efterfrågan på högkvalificerad arbetskraft, har lett till uppkomsten av ett flertal best practice-modeller och konsultbyråer som specialiserat sig på att förvalta organisationers rykten som arbetsgivare. Tidiga definitioner av det som kommit att kallas för employer branding beskriver målet med detta att The acknowledgement that organizations have an employer brand, combined with the rising demand of highly qualified workers, has led to countless best practice models and employer brand consulting agencies specializing in managing organizations’ reputation as employers. Early definitions describe employer branding as aimed at both potential and existing employees in order to attract, but also retai

Our purpose of this study was to investigate older people's ability to ask for help and understand the experience of asking for help, from a care managers perspective. Through a better understanding we can help the care managers in a better way to motivate and assist the elderly. We used qualitative method and interviewed seven care managers in a medium sized municipality and in a small munici

Med utgångspunkt i en flexibel arbetsmiljö med krav på kreativitet, syftade studien till att undersöka sambandet mellan skattat kreativt ledarskap och upplevt välbefinnande sett ur medarbetarnas perspektiv. Syftet var även att undersöka sambandet mellan kreativt ledarskap och kreativ organisation, samt hur mycket av medarbetarnas välbefinnande som kan tillskrivas kreativt ledarskap och kreativ orgBased on a flexible work environment with demands for creativity, the purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between estimated creative leadership and subjective well-being among the employees. The purpose was also to examine the correlation between creative leadership and creative organization, and how well these variables can be used to predict employee well-being. Furthermore,
