Det kan få förödande konsekvenser för patienten på operationsbordet om operationsmiljön brister vad gäller ventilation och operationspersonalens hygieniska rutiner. Syftet med studien var att jämföra operationspersonalens följsamhet av hygieniska rutiner, med foku
Den alltmer åldrande befolkningen och effekterna av den demografiska situationen inom såväl EU som Sverige har medfört ett ökat behov av arbetskraftsinvandring från tredjeland. Ambitionen om att föra en gemensam migrationspolitik för arbetskraftsinvandring inom EU har främst resulterat i tre sektorsdirektiv om högkvalificerad anställning, säsongarbete och företagsintern förflyttning. Det så kalladThe increasingly aging population and the effects of the demographic situation in the EU and Sweden have led to an enlarged need for labor migration from third countries. The ambition of a common migration policy on labor has mainly resulted in three sectoral directives concerning highly-skilled employees, seasonal work and intra-corporate transfers. The so-called Blue Card Directive (2009/50/EC)

It does so by taking as its case a segment of the American punk- and traveling community as it expressed itself in New Orleans during the time of six spring weeks in 2012. Building on a foundation of hermeneutics, applying as an

In today's society increasingly complex structures are designed whilst at the same time the design of a single structure ought to occur in a shorter period of time. This fact has undoubtedly contributed to that computational strength calculation that often is based on the nite element method instead of the classical hand calculation methods, is applied more frequently. Therefore an important a
Det här magisterarbetet är baserat på fem populärvetenskapliga och journalistiska artiklar från temanumret Guérir sans médicaments (’Bli frisk utan läkemedel’) av den franska tidskriften Le Nouvel Observateur som utkom i januari 2014. Arbetet är uppbyggt av två delar, en översättningsdel och en analysdel. Analysdelen består i sin tur av tre delar. Den första är en källtextanalys grundad på Hellspo
The study investigates the relationship between offshoring activities and the financial performance of manufacturing firms. The study also investigates the impact of the Euro crisis in combination with offshoring activities.
Thermal actions have a signicant eect on bridge structures and can at some sections account for more than 20% of the reinforcement. Such actions are especially important in certain types of concrete bridges, e.g. portal frame bridges. Thermal actions dier from other load types considered during bridge design through being a constraining load. A temperature prole can be divided into a uniform part
When developing software today, we still use old tools and ideas. Maybe it is time to start from scratch and try tools and languages that are more in line with how we actually want to develop software. The Go Programming Language was created at Google by a rather famous trio: Rob Pike, Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer. Before introducing Go, the company suffered from their development process no

Syfte: Syftet med studien är att initialt undersöka om anomalin, att börsintroduktioner tycks underprestera på lång sikt, finns på den svenska marknaden. Därefter kommer en ansats göras att försöka förklara urvalet av börsintroduktioners prestation på lång sikt.

Uppsatsen analyserar byggkostnaders inverkan på husprisutvecklingen i tre svenska storstadsområden mellan 1991 och 2012. Studien undersöker om stigande byggkostnader är hämmande för produktions- och utbudsnivån på lång sikt genom att titta på dess effekt på husprisutvecklingen. Med Engle & Grangers metod undersöks sambandet på lång och kort sikt mellan huspriser, byggkostnader, inkomst, ränta,
The ability for a damaged structure to withstand progressive collapse is often referred to as robustness. A robust building is characterized by the fact that the consequence of local damage is never more severe than the initial event. The way in which structural robustness is approached in the design of a building differs a great deal from one structural engineer to another. For a structure in con
Food security is an important factor contributing to the socio-economic stabilization and development of Bangladesh. Though, the country has made a steady progress in the expansion of food production, but food insecurity is still a major problem mainly because of poverty. Various development strategies aimed at eliminating poverty are now combining the microcredit as one of the key sectors in thei
Building interaction prototypes for ubiquitous computing is inherently difficult, since it involves a number of different devices and systems. Prototyping is an important step in developing and evaluating interaction concepts. The ideal prototyping methodology should offer high fidelity at a relatively low cost. This thesis describes the development of interaction concepts for controlling consume
