Uppsatsen analyserar behovet av intern förändringskommunikation mellan ledning och medarbetare vid bildandet av kommunalförbundet Räddningstjänsten Syd. Vidare studeras också uppkomsten av brister i den interna kommunikationen och hur detta kan ligga till grund för medarbetarnas negativa attityd till förändringsarbetet. Studiens empiriska material är insamlat genom intervjuer med ledning, medarbet

Som en följd av att informationskompetens lyfts fram i Bolognaprocessen som ett betydelsefullt element i all högre utbildning har ämnet uppmärksammats i stigande grad inom universitetsvärlden. Bolognaprocessen har även föranlett ändringar i svensk lagstiftning som gör kursplaner till juridiskt bindande dokument. Kursplanernas lärandemål måste examineras för att man ska kunna säkerställa att de har

Utgångspunkten för följande uppsats är dynamiken mellan Föräldrabalken, FB, 6:8 och artikel 8 Den europeiska konventionen angående skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna, EKMR. FB 6:8 innebär ett ingrepp i familjen då vårdnaden om ett barn flyttas över på någon utanför familjen. Detta ingrepp i familjen som FB 6:8 medför innebär inte enkom att den faktiska vårdnaden ö

Our study aimed to describe the clinical outcome of patients with superficial soft-tissue sarcomas (SSTS), define prognostic factors and provide evidence for a rational surveillance scheme.

The usefulness of dietary strategies against cardiometabolic risk is increasingly being acknowledged. Legumes and whole grains can modulate risk markers associated with cardiometabolic diseases, but their possible additive/synergistic actions are unknown. The objective of the present study was to assess, in healthy subjects, the effect of a diet including specific whole-grain barley products and l

The function of articular cartilage depends on its structure and composition, sensitively impaired in disease (e. g. osteoarthritis, OA). Responses of chondrocytes to tissue loading are modulated by the structure. Altered cell responses as an effect of OA may regulate cartilage mechanotransduction and cell biosynthesis. To be able to evaluate cell responses and factors affecting the onset and prog

The implementation of new surgical techniques offers chances but carries risks. Usually, several years pass before a critical appraisal and a balanced opinion of a new treatment method are available and rely on the evidence from the literature and expert's opinion. The frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique has been increasingly used to treat complex pathologies of the aortic arch and the descendin

Normal glucose homeostasis is characterized by appropriate insulin secretion and low HbA1c. Gene expression signatures associated with these two phenotypes could be essential for islet function and patho-physiology of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Herein, we employed a novel approach to identify candidate genes involved in T2D by correlating islet microarray gene expression data (78 donors) with insulin

A complete census of planetary systems around a volume-limited sample of solar-type stars (FGK dwarfs) in the Solar neighborhood (d a parts per thousand currency signaEuro parts per thousand 15 pc) with uniform sensitivity down to Earth-mass planets within their Habitable Zones out to several AUs would be a major milestone in extrasolar planets astrophysics. This fundamental goal can be achieved w

Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining for the identification of nodal occult metastases (OM), not detected by routine histological examination, has been proposed for improved staging, prognostication and decision of adjuvant treatment in surgically treated primary lung cancer. In a prospective study, we analysed 178 cases of primary lung cancer stage I-III (N0-N1) for OM by immunostaining lymph node

A summary is presented of ATLAS searches for gluinos and first- and second-generation squarks in final states containing jets and missing transverse momentum, with or without leptons or b-jets, in the root s = 8 TeV data set collected at the Large Hadron Collider in 2012. This paper reports the results of new interpretations and statistical combinations of previously published analyses, as well as

Dijet events produced in LHC proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy root s = 8 TeV are studied with the ATLAS detector using the full 2012 data set, with an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb(-1). Dijet masses up to about 4.5 TeV are probed. No resonancelike features are observed in the dijet mass spectrum. Limits on the cross section times acceptance are set at the 95% credibility leve

Objective: The aim of this article is to present the Swedish and Norwegian Testicular Cancer Group (SWENOTECA), with an emphasis on the history of SWENOTECA, organization, results and current status. Materials and methods: SWENOTECA was founded in 1981 as a binational organization open to hospitals in Sweden and Norway treating testicular cancer. It has since published treatment protocols for test

This book project was initiated at The Tribute Workshop in Honour of Gunnar Sparr and the follow-up workshop Inequalities, Interpolation, Non-commutative Analysis, Non-commutative Geometry and Applications, held at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences, Lund University in May and November of 2008. The resulting book is dedicated in celebration of Gunnar Sparr's sixty-fifth anniversary and more th

A search for new phenomena in final states with four or more leptons (electrons or muons) is presented. The analysis is based on 4.7 fb(-1) of root s = 7TeV proton-proton collisions delivered by the Large Hadron Collider and recorded with the ATLAS detector. Observations are consistent with Standard Model expectations in two signal regions: one that requires moderate values of missing transverse m
