Bakgrund: Kunskapsintensivt arbete utgör en allt större del av näringslivet idag. Morgondagens vinnare blir de företag med den mest kompetenta personalen. Organisationen som ligger till grund för detta arbete står inför en omfattande förändring som en del av organisationens strategi för att uppnå en långsiktig konkurrenskraft. För att möjliggöra detta krävs en kompetensutvecklingsstrategi som även

Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att beskriva och analysera den företagsinterna implementeringsprocessen rörande Svensk kod för bolagsstyrning i några företag, diskutera inställningen till Koden och dess självregleringsprincip, samt söka samband mellan dessa beståndsdelar och hur väl företagen följer bestämmelserna. Metod: Vår kvalitativa undersökning baseras på en tidigare utförd kvantitativ studie

Syftet med detta examensarbete är att studera hur punkt 3.2.1 i Svensk kod för bolagsstyrning har implementerats av bolag på Large Cap-listan och huruvida förändringar i styrelse-sammansättningar har skett sedan den trädde i kraft den 1 juli år 2005. Syftet är även att granska respondenternas syn på huruvida en lag om kvotering vore lämplig för svenska börsbolag. Därtill vill författarna ge försla

Our aim in this study was to explore women's responses to reported ad-hoc demands for unauthorized user fees during pregnancy and childbirth in Luanda, Angola. Ten focus group discussions were conducted and data were analysed using grounded theory. Women were found to apply six strategies as they "endeavored to cope with demands for unauthorized user fees" (core category): (i) blowing the whistle,

Full-scale ethanol production from spruce has been evaluated, mainly from an energy perspective, using an Aspen Plus-model including all major process steps. The model input was based on data recently obtained on lab scale or in a process development unit. A number of different process configurations are presented in order to demonstrate how heat integration within the ethanol process significantl

In this article the authors reflect upon and critically examine signs of a contradiction in higher education which they discuss in terms of the tension between 'use value' and 'exchange value'. Use value here represents learning as something valuable ‘in itself’ whereas exchange value represents learning as an achievement of grades and credits to be ‘traded’ on a market. Their aim in this article

Although Moral Foundations Theory claims that the foundations of morality are universal, there are still few studies addressing it through non-English measures. In the current research, 540 persons filled out a Swedish translation of the Moral Foundations Questionnaire, and 332 of them filled out political attitude measures. Confirmatory factor analyses suggested that the fit of the five-factor mo

The need for modelling of materials behaviour under various mechanical conditions is driven by the evolution of computer capacity and the ability of scientists to address complex mechanical problems. Reliable models for materials behaviour, including accurate numerical values of parameters, are necessary for a continued beneficial development of the computational side of solid mechanics. High rate

In "Intentional action and side-effects in ordinary language” (2003), Joshua Knobe reported an asymmetry in test subjects’ responses to a question about intentionality: subjects are more likely to judge that a side effect of an agent’s intended action is intentional if they think the side effect is morally bad than if they think it is morally good. This result has been taken to suggest that the co

Extracellular levels of striatal γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and taurine were monitored during insulin-induced hypoglycemia using microdialysis. At the onset of isoelectricity in the electroencephalogram (EEG), a transient 5-fold increase in the levels of GABA occurred. Taurine levels increased 5 min following the onset of isoelectricity and continued to increase during the entire isoelectric perio

It is estimated that about 30 000 people a year are successfully resuscitated after having suffered an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in Europe. The number of patients that are successfully resuscitated after an in-hospital cardiac arrest is not known, but it can be assumed that this figure is even higher than that after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The aim of the Swedish Resuscitation Counc

Through a systematic review and a series of meta-analyses, we evaluated the general responsiveness of putative transcriptional biomarkers of general toxicity and chemical stress. We targeted metal exposures performed on bivalves under controlled laboratory conditions, and selected six transcripts associated with general toxicity for evaluation: catalase (cat), glutathione-S-transferase (gst), heat

Infrared laser-induced grating spectroscopy (IR-LIGS) is a powerful method for the detection of molecules in atmospheric and combustion chemistry by exploiting their strong and species-specific fundamental vibrations. This work discusses potentials and limitations of the method.
