Lojalitet är en viktig beståndsdel i alla komplexare IT-outsourcingprojekt. I ett outsourcingförhållande där parterna inte agerar lojalt mot varandra kan relationen dem emellan störas vilket i sin tur kan leda till stora kostnader. Vested är en amerikansk modell för bl.a. komplexare outsourcingförfaranden i vilken lojaliteten mellan parterna särskilt betonas. Vested-modellen är ännu relativt oanväLoyalty is an important feature in a complex IT-outsourcing, without it the relationship will deteriorate eventually resulting in economic loss for both parties. Vested is an American loyalty centered cooperation model designed to be applied on complex outsourcing procedures. Vested is still relatively unknown in Sweden today, but the model can be predicted to surge in popularity in the future. T

Population ageing affects most European countries, placing increasing pressure on publicly funded Long Term Care (LTC) systems. Informal care is often seen as a low-cost alternative to formal care services, yet it may induce unwelcome reductions in labour supply. This study presents evidence on the relationship of informal care provision, employment probability, and work hours of mature caregivers

Context: We present an kinematical analysis of 90 F and G type dwarf, turn-off, and subgiant stars in the Galactic bulge. These stars were observed with high-resolution spectrographs during gravitational microlensing events This allowed for their ages, abundances, and radial velocities to be ascertained while they were significantly brighter. Plotting these stars as [C/O] vs [O/H], it is revealed

The textile industry, dominated by fast fashion, has caused significant environmental and social harm. Its complex global long supply chains, spanning multiple countries and production steps, increases the challenges related to traceability, transparency, and accountability. To address these issues, the European Union has introduced the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), which w

The growing use of economic sanctions as a foreign policy tool has intensi-fied legal and political tensions in the international trade system. This trend has been particularly pronounced following the expansion of the United States’ (U.S.) secondary sanctions with extraterritorial reach, and in response to major geopolitical events, including the U.S. withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan

Studenterna Anton Jordås och Mattias Wallenius har studerat hur tv-programmet Sveriges städmästare kan ses som ett uttryck för third way tv. Third way tv är ett synsätt som grundar sig i Anthony Giddens tankar om den politiska utvecklingen i Västeuropa och USA under slutet av 1900-talet. Forskarna John McConchie och Karen Orr Vered har överfört Giddens syn till public service-tv. Third way tv ger

Rivers have been modified significantly during the last 200 years in Switzerland. These modifications were done for protection purposes (protection against floods), construction of hydropower plants, gain of land or other human activities. These artificial transformations have reduced, sometimes drastically, the natural dynamic of the rivers, which has reduced biodiversity, and has also increased

This article summarizes the current understanding of the heterogeneity of type 1 diabetes from a June 2024 international Expert Forum organized by the editors of Diabetes, Diabetes Care, and Diabetologia. The Forum reviewed key factors contributing to the development and progression of type 1 diabetes and outlined specific, high-priority research questions. Knowledge gaps were identified, and, not

This article summarizes the current understanding of the heterogeneity of type 1 diabetes from a June 2024 international Expert Forum organized by the editors of Diabetes, Diabetes Care, and Diabetologia. The Forum reviewed key factors contributing to the development and progression of type 1 diabetes and outlined specific, high-priority research questions. Knowledge gaps were identified, and, not

Methanol is a promising renewable fuel that can be used to reduce the carbon intensity of internal combustion engines. In any combustion strategy with methanol, both unburned methanol and formaldehyde emissions are criteria pollutants that are potential drawbacks, so their accurate measurement is critical. The flame ionization detectors (FIDs) typically used in engine research to measure unburned

Historians of knowledge recognize that scientific knowledge is insepa- rable from ideology, which means that the intertwinement of the epistemic and the political constitutes a key topic of study. However, historians of knowledge have thus far not focused sufficiently on intersections with religiosity and spiritu- ality. To address this gap, this article introduces the numinous as a complemen- tar

Tensor-valued encoding in diffusion MRI allows probing of microscopic anisotropy in tissue, however, time-dependent diffusion (TDD) can bias results unless b-tensors are carefully tuned to account for TDD. We propose two novel strategies for tuning b-tensors to enable accurate measurements without interference from TDD due to restricted diffusion. The first strategy involves identifying encoding t

Popular Abstract in Swedish Inom processanalytisk kemi är uppgiften att bestämma viktiga egenskaper i en kemisk process under det att tillverkningen fortlöper. Ett vanligt exempel är att man bestämmer halten av något ämne. Eftersom de uppmätta egenskaperna ofta används för att styra processandet mot bästa möjliga betingelser är det av generellt intresse att mätningen går snabbt. Men det är inte noPharmaceutical tablets and pellets are often covered with a coating. There is a need for methods that enable monitoring of the growth of such films during processing. Such analyses can be performed using process analytical chemical methods based on near infrared (NIR) diffuse reflectance spectrometry. It provides with analyses that take only ca. 8 seconds in total analysis time, including physical

The interdisciplinary symposium ”Microstructures of Learning: Novel methods and approaches for assessing structural and functional changes underlying knowledge acquisition in the brain” took place on May 23, 2014 in Lund, Sweden. The cross-disciplinary meeting brought together researchers from linguistics, psychology, physics, chemistry, and neuroscience in order to discuss how knowledge, in part

By emphasising the involvement of elderly people in a project applying a mixed-method approach, the overriding objective of this study was to identify and prioritise concrete measures aimed at increasing accessibility and safety in the outdoor pedestrian environment within a residential area of a Swedish town. Measures generally given priority were: the separation of pedestrians/cyclists, lower sp

Based on the body of evidence implicating ocular blood flow disturbances in the pathogenesis of glaucoma, there is great interest in the investigation of the effects of antiglaucoma drugs and systemic medications on the various ocular vascular beds. The primary aim of this article was to review the current data available on the effects of antiglaucoma drugs and systemic medications on ocular blood

OBJECTIVE: To study the pharmacodynamics of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid against different strains of Haemophilus influenzae in an in vitro kinetic model. The concentrations used corresponded to human serum levels obtained after 875 mg amoxicillin/clavulanic acid given b.i.d., 500/125 mg amoxicillin/clavulanic acid given t.i.d. and those obtained with a pharmacokinetically enhanced formulation cont
