In many organizations it is considered of vital importance to translate its vision and strategy into objectives, to determine the best means of achieving these and to review the results – with participation from all members, from management to shop floor. The objective of this study was to make a first test of a method that could be applied for verbalizing and communicating a common vision and ide
Sammanfattning Syftet med detta arbete är att utreda kopplingarna mellan fastighetsbildningslagen, plan- och bygglagen och jordförvärvslagen. Detta med inriktning på juridiska personers möjlighet att få bundenhet till mark i ett tidigt skede i en markexploateringsprocess. Syftet är också att utreda möjligheterna och konsekvenserna i de olika situationer som uppstår beroende på vilken lagstiftninThe purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility for a juristic person to acquire whole or part of a property in an early stage in the land exploitation process in Sweden. The study takes a closer look at the different approaches that a juristic person have at their disposal, one of them being the law called the Land Acquisition Act. The juristic or physical person can apply for an acqu
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen analyserar den schweiziske teologen Hans Küng och hans arbete med att utforma en universell moral. Enligt Küng kan världsreligionerna ligga till grund för en moral som kan sträcka sig över alla ideologiska, kulturella och religiösa gränser. Denna moral, som vilar på världsreligionerna, kan sedan ligga till grund för världspolitiken och garantera att relatioThis dissertation analyzes the work on universal morality by the Swiss theologian Hans Küng. According to Küng, a universal morality can be formed out of the world's religions that can reconcile ideological, cultural and religious differences. This morality can then form the basis for international policy and politics and guarantee that relations among states are peaceful. Küng's project focuses
Abstract "The war on terror" has resulted in numerous exceptions from the constitutional order. This thesis is an attempt to give empirical support to Georgio Agambens theory that these exceptions should be regarded as a constant element in modern societies based on a constitutional order. The results of the case study of the empirical exceptions in the American context give Agambens th
Gaming among young people with disabilities is often understood within a habilitation frame, as if video and computer games primarily should help to exercise and ‘improve’. Little is known about how these games are used within a private frame, and how young people with disabilities operate their gaming as concrete persons rather than as treatment-receiving clients. Through the use of stories, desc
Non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) is a Gram-negative human commensal commonly residing in the nasopharynx of preschool children. It occasionally causes upper respiratory tract infection such as acute otitis media, but can also spread to the lower respiratory tract causing bronchitis and pneumonia. There is increasing recognition that NTHi has an important role in chronic lower respiratory
Objectives: Immunohistochemical staining against thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF-1) is often used to distinguish lung adenocarcinoma from squamous cell carcinoma and pulmonary metastasis.Methods: TTF-1 expression was examined using the antibody clones 8G7G3/1, SPT24, and SP141 on tissue microarrays from 665 cases of resected lung cancers and 428 pulmonary metastases.Results: Most lung adenocar
In order to assess the potential of electrical resistivity for imaging gas migration at landfills, two relatively well-known sites - one bioreactor landfill and a conventional landfill - have been monitored successively. A three-dimensional resistivity image could be constructed every two hour on both sites. Meteorological parameters were monitored at the same time, with one measurement taken ever
During the last years, numerous research projects focussed on re-examination of past excavations, giving birth to re-evaluation of their documentation and material or to new discoveries. The aim of this paper is to present an ongoing research on the digital re-assessment of the Ayia Irini sanctuary’s stratigraphy using 3D GIS, by corroborating published material with data extracted from the origin
Text visualization techniques often make use of automatic text classification methods. One of such methods is stance analysis, which is concerned with detecting various aspects of the writer's attitude towards utterances expressed in the text. Existing text visualization approaches for stance classification results are usually adapted to textual data consisting of individual utterances or short me
Objectives: To examine whether the mix of community and institutional long-term care (ILTC) for people with dementia (PwD) in Europe could be improved; assess the economic consequences of providing alternative services for particular groups of ILTC entrants and explore the transnational application of the ‘Balance of Care’ (BoC) approach. Method: A BoC study was undertaken in Estonia, Finland, Fra
The paper presents application of lean engineering methods at design process re-engineering. Lean principles are harder to implement in an one-of-a-kind production environment rather than in an environment of a serial production, where there are almost no changes during production process. There are considerable differences in value-added activities that characterize lean production on one hand an
Selenium is an essential trace element involved in the body’s redox reactions. Low selenium intake during pregnancy has been associated with low birth weight and an increased risk of children being born small for gestational age (SGA). Based on data from the Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study (MoBa) and the Medical Birth Registry of Norway (MBRN), we studied the association of materna
Vitamin D regulates parathyroid cell proliferation and secretion of PTH. Increased prevalence of the polymorphic vitamin D receptor (VDR) alleles b, a, and T has been reported in sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), suggesting that these genetic variants may predispose to the disease. Recently, another polymorphism in the VDR gene was related to bone mineral density, and this VDR-FokI poly
The intestinal epithelium is continuously exposed to deleterious environmental factors that might cause aberrant immune responses leading to inflammatory disorders. However, what environmental factors might contribute to disease are poorly understood. Here, to overcome the lack of in vivo models suitable for screening of environmental factors, we used zebrafish reporters of intestinal inflammation
BackgroundThis is the first nationwide segregation analysis that aimed to determine whether familial venous thromboembolism (VTE) is attributable to inheritance and/or shared environment, and the possible mode of inheritance.Methods and ResultsThe Swedish Multi‐Generation Register was linked to the Swedish patient register for the period 1964 to 2015. Three generational families of Swedish‐born in
Resonant inelastic x-ray scattering spectra excited at the fluorine K resonances of SF6 have been recorded. While a small but significant propensity for electronically parity-allowed transitions is found, the observation of parity-forbidden electronic transitions is attributed to vibronic coupling that breaks the global inversion symmetry of the electronic wavefunction and localizes the core hole.
