There are a limited number of scientific studies concerned with the evaluation of DSS in general, and even less concerned with the evaluation of DSS in a clinical context. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical DSS at the Department of Orthopedics at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in order to answer how one should evaluate clinical DSS. We have in our study created a research frame

"Principal Components Regression" (PCREG), also sometimes called "biased regression methods" is used to model data with highly correlated explanatory variables. This well-known method has been discussed by multiple previous authors (Marquardt 1970, Hoerl and Kennard 1970, Lott 1973, Hawkins 1973, Webster, Grace and Mason 1974, Hoerl, Kennard and Baldwin 1975, Marquardt and Snee

The main instrument to combat the abuse of a dominant position within the European Union is Article 82 ECT. It is not intended to prohibit dominance per se, but rather to offer a vehicle for the reaction to actual or potential abuses of undertakings. In order for the Article to come into play the prime requirement is that the undertaking undergoing scrutiny is indeed dominant. Dominance is a relat

I denna uppsats har jag undersökt vilket skadeståndsrättsligt ansvar som kan åläggas en konkursförvaltare. Ett särskilt fokus har lagts på frågan om rättegångskostnader och under vilka förutsättningar en konkursförvaltare genom skadestånd kan bli tvungen att ersätta dessa. Uppsatsen innehåller inledningsvis en introduktion till obeståndsrätten, skadeståndsrätten samt de processrättsliga regler somIn this essay, I have examined which liability that may be imposed on the official receiver of the bankruptcy in regard of damages.

This research tests two different focus groups with the purpose of developing quantitative online surveys suitable for a specific target group. Depending on where in the development process of the survey the researcher is, somewhat different focus groups should be used. If the researcher is far into the development of the survey a focus group with the questionnaire template as discussion basis cou

This research examines how focus groups can be used as a tool for designing quantitative online surveys suitable for a specific target group. Depending on where in the development process of the survey the researcher is, somewhat different focus groups should be used. If the researcher is far into the development of the survey a focus group with the questionnaire template as discussion basis could

This thesis has an inductive approach. A qualitative method was selected as a strategy and semi-structured interviews were conducted in order to gather relevant information from the respondent. Hereto, we concl

Problem: Företag i näringslivet, universitet, högskolor och statliga organisationer satsar idag mycket pengar på att föreläsare och olika typer av expertis ska hjälpa dem. För företag i dagsläget är företagshälsovård ett sådant ämne. Det satsas pengar på olika typer av expertis för att man vill minska sina sjuktal. Vi menar dock att en stor del av dessa ekonomiska satsningar går till spillo på gru

Sammanfattning Titel Kompetens och förståelse. En studie av kompetensutveckling i revisionsbranschen Författare Axel Lindhe Jessica Nilsson Helena Svensson Andreas Wennström Handledare Dan Kärreman Syfte Syftet med vår uppsats är att skapa en djupare förståelse för hur revisionsbyråer hanterar kompetensutvecklingsfrågor och för hur medarbetare i revisionsbranschen ser på kompetens och kompetensutv

This study is of qualitative nature where the problem area, domestic violence, is analyzed through feminist theory, aided by a critical discourse analysis. The study aims to reveal if the discourse of an official report from the Swedish government, named SOU 2014:49, challenges or maintains a gender power order. This structure exists in the society and maintains men’s superiority to women and rein

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att jämföra två lagstiftningar, deras bakgrunder och den politiska processen, för att belysa hur den samhälleliga och rättsliga utvecklingen hänger samman. Det område jag har valt att undersöka är mäns våld mot kvinnor, och de två lagändringarna jag kommer att jämföra är kriminaliseringen av våldtäkt inom äktenskapet och införandet av brottet grov kvinnofridkränkn

Interviews where photographs taken by the respondent are used in order to stimulate the conversation and to gain rich empirical material are increasingly employed by researchers. The ubiquitous use of mobile cameras and digital platforms such as Instagram has made it easier for the researcher as well as for the interviewees to take and share photographs.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Omkring 16% av alla cancerfall i världen beräknas vara orsakade av infektioner och omkring 5% av dessa orsakas av humant papillomvirus (HPV). HPV har etablerats som orsak till livmoderhalscancer och kondylom (könsvårtor). HPV-typer som förekommer på hud har förknippats med icke-melanom hudcancer såsom skivepitelcancer (SCC) men också ofarliga hudhudförändringar som aktiAround 5% of all cancer cases worldwide are caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) which has been established as the cause of cervical cancer and genital warts (condylomas). Cutaneous HPV types have been weakly associated with non-melanoma skin lesions such as squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and actinic keratosis (AK). We have analyzed skin and genital lesions for presence of HPV-DNA in order to searc

In this study, design of low-order feedforward controllers from both reference signal and measurable disturbance for proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controllers is considered. The feedforward controllers from reference are equivalent to the use of a PID controller with set-point weighting. The design problem is formulated as a convex optimisation problem and then solved for a batch of proce

There is some evidence that perinatal factors, specifically birth weight (BW), may be related to the onset of prostate cancer (PRCA). This case-control study, nested within the Malmo Diet and Cancer Cohort Study, used archived birth record data from 308 incident PRCA cases diagnosed between 1991 and 2005, and 637 age-matched controls among 4781 men born (1923-1945) in Malmo and Lund, Sweden. We ap

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The control of balance is vital in many sporting activities as well as in activities of daily life. In order to treat deficiencies properly valid and reliable methods are needed to evaluate different aspects of stability. Muscle fatigue has been proposed to cause a change in postural control strategy, and the use of different tools and variables might therefore elucidate th
