Popular Abstract in Swedish Chefskap och ledarskap hos sjuksköterskor i högre chefsbefattningar inom hälso- och sjukvården. I dagens hälso- och sjukvård har sjuksköterskor i chefsposition en förändrad och utökad roll, bland annat till följd av decentraliserade organisationer och utökade ansvarsområden. Utvecklingen av omvårdnaden kommer till en del att vara beroende av chefernas förmåga och skickThe aim of this thesis was to illuminate the management and leadership of nurse managers within Swedish health care organizations and to recognize influencing factors of importance for the nurse managers in exercising and developing their management. The interviewees were all active in their positions at the time of the interviews. The nurse managers served at top management levels in either execu

Society has become more aware of how overuse of chemical compounds in agriculture can affect the environment causing negative effects to ecosystem services. Due to this awareness, in recent years new regulation of pesticide use has been developed and some pesticides have been banned. With the new regulation, alternative methods of pest control have been advised which may also be easier to implemen

The general rule in EC law is that a holder of an intellectual property right is not obliged to license the use of that right to others. However, situations exist where intellectual property rights suffer some limitations because of the prevalence of other conflicting interests. A dominant firm can, as the holder of an intellectual property right, be forced to grant a license to one or more undert

This thesis concerns the nature of the gestures performed by five Swedish children. The children are followed from 18 to 30 months of age: an age range which is characterized by a rapid succession of developmental changes in children's abilities to communicate by means of both spoken language and gesture. There are few studies of gesture in children of these ages, making it essential to ask a numb

Brain machine interfaces with chronically implanted microelectrode arrays for signal acquisition require algorithms for successful detection and classification of neural spikes. During the design of such algorithms, signals with a priori known characteristics need to be present. A common way to establish such signals is to model the recording environment, simulate the recordings and store ground t

The EU has claimed a leadership role in the climate change negotiations ever since their creation under the United Nations Framework on the Climate Change Convention. By going ahead in the formulation of its own emission targets and acting as a pusher in urging others to realise the urgency of adopting ambitious targets and timetables, the EU has taken the lead. Responsible for EU's performanc

ObjectivePediatric anxiety disorders can have a chronic course and are considered gateway disorders to adult psychopathology, but no consistent predictors of long-term outcome have been identified. A single latent symptom dimension that reflects features shared by all mental health disorders, the p factor, is thought to reflect mechanisms that cut across mental disorders. Whether p predicts outcom

Checkpoint blockade therapies have changed the clinical management of metastatic melanoma patients considerably, showing survival benefits. Despite the clinical success, not all patients respond to treatment or they develop resistance. Although there are several treatment predictive biomarkers, understanding therapy resistance and the mechanisms of tumor immune evasion is crucial to increase the f

This thesis is the result of a work for Saab Automobile AB in Trollhättan, and more specifically the Department of under hood design. The project has been to Lund University and finishes my education in Technical Design. Supervisor at the company who has assisted me with much help is Andreas Barbunopulos and supervisors at the school have been Ola Carlquist and Karl-Axel Andersson. The purpose

I medierna förekommer ofta beskrivningar av utländska arbetstagare som blir utnyttjade av sina arbetsgivare på ett graverande sätt. Exempel på detta har varit de thailändska bärplockarna i Norrland och den kinesiska kock i Malmö som tvingades arbeta fram till att han kollapsade. Eftersom tvångsarbete är ett dolt fenomen utgör dessa fall förmodigen toppen på ett isberg. Tvångsarbete är inte explicThere are often articles in Swedish newspapers describing situations were foreign workers have been exploited by their employers. Well known examples are the Thai berry pickers in Norrland and the Chinese cook in Malmö that was forced to work until he collapsed. Forced Labor is a hidden phenomenon, therefore there is reason to assume that these cases only show the tip of the iceberg. Forced labor

Ovako Ajax me, in York, South Carolina, USA manufactures seamless steel rings. The rings are made from blocks, which are heated, pressed, punched and then rolled to desired size and shape. Due to tougher competition on the seamless steel ring market, it is necessary to know the total production time for an order of specific rings, in order to be able to price the rings correctly and plan the prod

I begin my thesis by linking the rise of buzz marketing in recent years to general economic, medial and social developments in society, while mainly focusing on the shift from a modern to a post-modern pattern of production and consumption. I also point out the great symbolic significance that consumption has as a signifier of a personal identity in contemporary society. I then go on to investigat

Context. The Arcturus stream is an over-density of stars in velocity space and its origin has been much debated recently without any clear conclusion. The (classical) dissolved open cluster origin is essentially refuted; instead the discussions try to distinguish between an accretion, a resonant, or an external-perturbation origin for the stream. As kinematic structures are observational footprint

Primary Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is a systemic autoimmune inflammatory disease characterized by focal lymphocytic infiltrates in the lachrymal and salivary glands and autoantibodies against the SSA/Ro and SSB/La antigens. Experimental studies have shown an activation of NF-B in primary SS. NF-B activation results in inflammation and autoimmunity and is regulated by inhibitory and activating protein

The quantitative relationship between exposure to physical risk factors and upper extremity work-related musculoskeletal disorders (UE-WMSDs) is virtually unknown. To explore the variation, objective measurements were derived in 43 types of work (686 individuals), using goniometry for the wrists and electromyography (EMG) for the forearm extensor muscles. The variations due to work were great for

This thesis is a combined conceptual study and preliminary design of two study options for a future tramway line between Trädgårdsgatan and Hälsovägen in Helsingborg. This line is of great interest since it’s centrally located and regarded as a problematic stretch of narrow streets, heavy traffic and steep gradients. In addition, a local tramway line in Helsingborg is regarded as a priority projec
