Litigation Public Relations (LPR) är en form av strategisk kommunikation som syftar till att vinna allmänhetens åsikt då en rättsprocess aktualiseras. Tanken är att företag genom vinst av allmänhetens dom ska kunna tjäna, mo-raliskt och ekonomisk, på rättsprocessen och eventuell medial uppmärksamhet den väcker. Uppsatsen har som syfte att kartlägga det förfarande som faller in under LPR och hur deLitigation Public Relations (LPR) is a form of strategic communication aimed at winning in the court of public opinion during any legal process. The idea is that by winning in the court of public opinion, a company may be able to gain both morally and financially from the process and its potential media cover-age. The purpose of this essay is to map out the practice that is LPR and how this practi

This study aims to determine the significance of different sources of financial flexibility that enables firms to respond to negative shocks or investment opportunities in form of unexpected periods of insufficient resources. The empirical study is based on a model that proxy for firms’ investment and dividend policies to further examine how possible cash shortfalls is resolved. The sample covers

Popular Abstract in Swedish Förbränningsmotorer används på flera platser i samhället där energi behöver göras tillgänglig i form av mekaniskt arbete eller elektrisk energi. Den kanske mest kända tillämpningen är som kraftkälla i en personbil. Förbränningsmotorerna har givetvis ett antal fördelar som bidragit till deras popularitet och omfattande användning - lågt pris, kompakthet, driftsäkerhet ocCurrent combustion engines provide excellent performance for vehicle propulsion and power generation. However, recent demands from society ask for higher efficiencies and lower emissions. These requirements are hard to meet with current technology and call for new solutions. Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition, HCCI, offers a potential to combine high efficiency with very low emissions. It op

Data standards for quality registries should be evidence-based and follow guideline recommendations. To optimally monitor quality of care, not only patient-level variables, but also centre-level variables need to be included. Here we describe the development of variables to audit the structure and processes in cardiac rehabilitation for patients after myocardial infarction, and the resulting data

Popular Abstract in Swedish Idag har patienter med blodcancer (leukemi) eller genetiskt betingade blodsjukdomar (sickelcellanemi etc.) begränsad tillgång till behandlingar som effektivt och riskfritt botar sjukdomstillståndet. Detta arbete inkluderar forskningsresultat ämnade att bidra till utveckling av konceptuellt nya behandlingsmetoder för olika typer av blodsjukdomar. Ett fungerande blodsysteThere is a pressing need for compatible Hematopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs), in high quantities and of good clinical quality, to ensure optimal treatment for patients with various blood malignancies. Pluripotent Stem Cells (PSCs) have the potential to be a source for generating HSCs. The indefinite expansion capacity of PSCs, combined with the possibility of creating these cells from patient-specific

Skuldsaneringsinstitutet kom till för att hjälpa överskuldsatta människor att lösa sina ekonomiska problem när det till synes inte fanns någon annan utväg. Den första svenska skuldsaneringslagen tillkom år 1994 för att möta de behov som bankkrisen under början av 1990-talet hade skapat. Efter det har skuldsaneringsförfarandet utvecklats och förenklats, och förra året kom den tredje versionen av skThe institute of debt reconstruction was founded as a last resort to help people who are heavily in debt to get their finances in order. The first law of debt reconstruction was founded in 1994 to meet the needs created by the banking crisis in the early 1990’s. After that the debt reconstruction procedure has evolved and simplified, and last year came the third version of the law of debt reconstr

In order to curb emissions and resulting environmental problems caused by the rapidly growing energy use of its building sector, China has implemented a number of policy instruments to promote Green Building practices, including market-based instruments for energy efficiency in buildings. This thesis aims to evaluate the economic efficiency of these policy measures, using the Four-High Award of Sh

The energy intensive industry, producing basic materials, is responsible for 25 to 30% of today's global greenhouse gas emissions. The future supply of GHG neutral basic materials (e.g. steel, cement, aluminium, plastics, etc.) is a necessity for building a sustainable modern society. Deep decarbonisation of the energy intensive industries is technically possible but will require a major systemic The energy intensive industry, producing basic materials, is responsible for 25 to 30% of today's global greenhouse gas emissions.

ABSTRACT: Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) has the potential for low-cost andhigh-throughput nanoscale fabrication. However, the NIL quality and resolution areusually limited by the shape and size of the nanoimprint stamp features. Atomiclayer etching (ALE) can provide a damage-free pattern transfer with ultimate etchcontrol for features of all length scales, down to the atomic scale, and for all fea

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen består av fyra uppsatser som handlar om individers hälsorelaterade beteende och investeringar i högre utbildning. Tre av uppsatserna fokuserar på olika aspekter av läkemedelsanvändning och syftar till att förklara varför individer med liknande medicinska behov är olika benägna att använda receptbelagda läkemedel. Den fjärde uppsatsen studerar hälsans betydeThis thesis consists of four essays on individual health behaviour and investment in higher education. Three of them consider different aspects of pharmaceutical utilization and aim at explaining some of the observed individual variation in access and adherence to treatment regimens. The fourth explores the potential link from health in young adulthood to subsequent university education. The firs

Popular AbstractAvhandlingen presenterar, från ett fenomenologiskt perspektiv, interaktionen mellan naturvetenskapens kunskap och annan kunskap, här kallad "vardagskunskap". Utgångspunkten i presentationen är människans existens. Två aspekter av denna lyfts fram som centrala - att människan är kroppsligt utsatt för, berörd av, något hon inte har full kontroll över, samt att hon alltid agerar utifrThe dissertation presents a phenomenological view on the interaction between science knowledge and prescientific knowledge. Drawing on Husserl, Merleau-Ponty and Lévinas the human bodily grounded existence is described, the central feature of this existence being its responsivity to the Other. This responsivity is presented as the starting point for the production of science knowledge, thus making

This paper draws attention to a hitherto almost completely neglected encyclopaedic medical handbook composed around 950 CE: al-Muʿālajāt al-Buqrāṭiyya (Hippocratic treatment) attributed to the physician Abū al-Ḥasan Aḥmad b. Muḥammad aṭ-Ṭabarī. The handbook consists of ten books further divided into altogether 473 chapters. Since 1990, the work is available as a facsimile-print published by Sezgin

The stochastic behavior of FM-clicks in an unmodulated carrier plus noise is studied in terms of the conditional behavior of stationary Gaussian processes after level crossings. By a systematic use of thc Slepian model processes it is shown that the normalized shape of a positive FM-click approaches a certain rational function with simple random coefficients as the carrier-to-noise ratio tends to
