Health systems need to continue functioning and providing essential health services, even when they experience challenges that threaten their ability to do so. Resilience describes the ability for health systems to manage change when they are shocked, so that essential functions are maintained. The capacity to change ranges from absorbing the shock using existing resources to fundamentally reorgan
Critical security studies examine how everyday life is affected or transformed by practices that militarise civil society. This article addresses one such area: qualitative changes in the openness and transparency of public administration, instating a mode of suspicion and secrecy. The article is based on interviews and observations in the area of the total defence in Sweden, where we during three
REX is a Fortran program for analysis of spectra obtained in PIXE analysis. The underlying model is still under development; however, one year of experience has demonstrated REX’s capability to be a fast reliable tool. The modeling of the different components and effects of the physical model is briefly discussed. Evidence is shown that secondary effects mostly due to Compton-scattering in and aro
At Lund University two projects were conducted with the aim to strengthen and systematise students’ communication training in science and engineering education. The core of the projects was a course on communication teaching, addressing the content teachers. During the course the participants developed, implemented, evaluated and reported on a communication component in their courses. In parallel,
In the beginning of 1990s preparations were underway in Sweden to enact a law aimed at making accounting on personnel in the annual reports compulsory. An official investigation resulted in a special report on how to design and report on it. The expectations and the discussions that followed resulted in considerable voluntary implementation of “personnel economics reports” or “human resources acco
MADEIRA was a Collaborative Project cofunded by the European Commission through the EURATOM Seventh Research Framework Programme. It was structured into four scientific work packages, and its aim was to optimize the efficacy and safety of 3D functional imaging in nuclear medicine and thereby to reduce the radiation exposures of the patients while keeping or even improving the quality of the diagno
The introduction of PACS in a radiology department means that most functions that are available in the film-based system must be included. One important function is the radiology conference. The handling and application programs of digital workstations are normally not developed for demonstrations of many images in a limited time. This paper describes a workstation with specially designed software
Popular Abstract in Swedish En utmaning vid design av interaktiva artefakter är att ta i beräkning den mångfald av digitala ting, system och verktyg människor dagligen sig av ? något som i denna text benämns som en interaktionsekologi. Denna avhandling behandlar tre forskningsteman; för det första hur människor uppfattar och varseblir ljud, och hur vi kan dra nytta av detta när interaktiva ting omA contemporary challenge when designing interactive artifacts is to take into account the wealth of devices, systems, and tools people use every day - here termed an 'interaction ecology'. This thesis addresses three research issues. Firstly, the character of sound perception, and how auditory interaction can be applied to ubiquitous computing. Secondly, how everyday sounds make people aware of su
The aim of the thesis was to study the information retrieval and seeking of an on-scene commander on the incident site. Also, to systematize the information to further improve the decision-making condition for all all of the commanding officers. By studying literature, analysing collected recorded material from helmet-mounted cameras and conducting interviews, the study has shown that commanders,
The technological artifacts used in ship navigation have undergone substantial changes during the last decades, and real-time digital navigation is a reality with the introduction of the ECDIS. Despite the obvious merits of this new navigation mode, and the imagined improvement in safety that it theoretically should bring, ECDIS has in recent years been associated with several accidents. The term
We have made an exploratory study on body language in a recruiting situation. Our material consists of a film, showing five persons during an employment interview, each of them having different non-verbal behaviour. Professional recruiters were asked to see the film and to freely give comments. These comments were later analysed using the phenomenological method Meaning Constitution Analysis (MCA)
The purpose of this study was to explore the social effects of an absent parent during childhood and later in life. An absent parent is here understood as a parent who exists in life but who for some reason is not present in the child's life. Six adults were interviewed; three women and three men. The method used was qualitative. In all cases, the absent parent had been the father. The analysi
ABSTRACT The overarching aim of this sociology of law study is to explore internal processes at a court to get deeper knowledge of norms within this legal organisation. The point of departure is a specific research interest in studying professional norms on ‘good treatment’ in a local court. Another aim is to study the importance that the internal professional norms have on the external treatment
The purpose of this study is to examine types of challenges during the implementation of BPM regarding the set and use of performance indicators from a theoretical and practical perspective. Consequently, this thesis generates an understanding by illuminating reasons behind the previously found challenges. Hereby, this case study has followed a qualitative, abductive research strategy. The used pr
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to generate knowledge of employees' perspectives on how they understand and make sense of a change in the identity and culture within an organization and how they make sense of becoming brand ambassadors. Design/methodology/approach: The thesis was conducted through a qualitative approach where the empirical material consisted of semi-structured intervie
Syfte Studiens syfte är att finna utvecklingspotential i dagens produktionsmetod med betong- och kors laminerat-trästommar (KL-trästommar), genom att undersöka bygg- och produktionsmetoderna. Målet är att förbättra dessa metoder så att byggbranschen utvecklas ekonomiskt och minskar klimatpåverkan. Metod För att besvara frågeställningarna har studien använt sig av metoderna litteraturstudie och fPurpose The purpose of this study is to identify potential improvements within the current construction management processes associated with concrete and cross-laminated timber (CLT) frames. This is to be completed by examining the construction and production methods used when working with the materials. The goal is to improve these methods so that the construction industry develops economically a
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, OCD, is a disease which 2-3 % of the Swedish population suffers from. The purpose of this essay was to examine how the disease affects the children who grow up in families where somebody has got OCD. Our first question was: In which way did relative’s disease affect the child? The second question was: How did the relative’s disease affect the child’s relations to the
