Background: It is well known that women suffer from negative consequences following breast cancer (BC) treatment and that their largely varying needs for rehabilitation are often unmet. Up to 43% of these women are at risk of developing chronic distress requiring complex interventions; however, how to early identify and meet these women's needs is unknown, leaving them with suboptimal chances of r
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattningAvhandlingen tog sin utgångspunkt i nödvändigheten att organisationer ständigt måste vara flexibla för att kunna bemästra krav på variation och oväntade händelser. En organisations förmåga att snabbt anpassa såväl antalet anställda som de anställdas arbetsinsats på ett smidigt sätt kan vara en förutsättning för flexibilitet. Förutom kapacitet till förändring är deThis thesis assumed the necessity of organizations having to be flexible in respect to mastering variation and unexpected circumstances. Organizations’ ability to alter the number of workers, or to vary the intensity of workers’ workload in a smooth way, is generally a prerequisite for flexibility. In addition to being able to change, organizations must also have the capacity to obtain development
Daphne Arbouz, Spaces of in-between, ‘hybridity’ self-identification and agency of change in personal narratives of non-belonging, Master’s thesis 30p. Lund University, 2011. Narratives of non-belonging and identity formations surrounding the concept of ‘hybridity’ in autobiographic material are discussed and interpreted. Conflicting views existing between ethnocentrically and multi-pluralistica
Long time series of satellite remotely sensed Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) as an indicator of vegetation greenness can be used in a broad range of research topics such as climate change, vegetation dynamics and desertification monitoring. The first phase of this study tests a practical method using Hyperion imagery onboard on Earth Observing-1 (EO1) spacecraft for simulation of MO
This master’s thesis has been conducted in collaboration with Remote Aero. The aim is to determine important design principles when developing an interface to be used for drone control in emergency situations. To determine the end user, an interview was conducted with the stakeholder. The end user was defined as an individual that works as a sea rescue volunteer at the Swedish Sea Rescue Society w
The advanced research that is being carried out in different science fields today requires advanced technologies; for the study of distant places and hidden elements of our universe tools like The Hubble Telescope, Voyager 2 and the Very Large Array has been to great use. In the same way, a neutron source and its instruments enable scientist to see and understand basic atomic structures and forces.
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Naturkatastrofer är något som Sverige är relativt förskonat från. Massrörelser, alltså markrörelser i jordtäcke eller berg såsom lerskred, slamströmmar och bergras, är däremot relativt vanligt förekommande runt om i landet. Det är dessutom så att frekvensen av den här typen av fenomen förväntas öka i Sverige till följd av framtida klimatförändringar. De områdenRecent studies indicate a widespread but largely overlooked hazard of contaminant mobilisation and transport in connection to mass movement activity into surface water systems in Sweden. Concerns are exacerbated by predicted effects of climate change, which suggest national increases in rates of precipitation, pore water pressures, run -off, erosion and mass movement occurrence. In this study, the
Is the management of Type 1 Diabetes best left to the medical sciences, or do the social sciences have a stake as well? In ‘Sweet Blood Surveillance,’ I push back against the perceived domination of scientific objectivity to make space for the subjective experience of diabetes in the maintenance of glucose levels through a collaboration with medical technical objects. To accomplish my task, I crea
The aim of this sociological study is to explore and to understand mechanisms of power being embedded in daily procedures of detention establishment with the focus on the case officers’ work tasks. In the study the emic approach is being used in order to understand from within power at detention. Observations, field notes, interviews and written documents constitute the empirical material being co
This degreework was initiated by a brief email send form the department of design science at Lund Institute of Technology, Lund University. It was an invitation from the company Reflectil Sverige AB about their interest to renew their selection of non-professional high visibility garment. The companies demand was to broaden their selection of nonprofessional high visibility garment. They wanted to
This thesis concerns the role of disability and assistive devices in everyday life among persons with, for instance, impairments related to mobility (e.g. wheelchair users) and bodily shape and configuration (e.g. dysmelia). Assistive devices are seen as both includators (assisting participation and emancipation) and excludators (limiting participation, restraining empowerment, and stigmatizing).
Background: Hand injuries occur at any age and cause disability in hand and arm function as well as impaired quality of life, but no study has focused on hand disability and quality of life in the elderly after a hand injury. Globally, the population over 60 years of age is expected to double by 2050 and more hand injuries are estimated among the elderly population. Our goal is to obtain more info
Background: The SIOP-Renal Tumor Study Group (RTSG) does not advocate invasive procedures to determine histology before the start of therapy. This may induce misdiagnosis-based treatment initiation, but only for a relatively small percentage of approximately 10% of non-Wilms tumors (non-WTs). MRI could be useful for reducing misdiagnosis, but there is no global consensus on differentiating charact
Domain-specific languages are used in numerous problem domains, e.g. database handling, robot programming and numerical calculations. The main advantage of using such languages is the ease with which a problem within the domain can be expressed in the language. The resulting programs are easier to debug and maintain, and consist of higher quality code since the language constructs are close to the
In today's society there are increasing demands on organizations and its ability to be flexible and adaptable. However, many changes ends in failure. Research on communication in organizational changes has proven to be important factors, but is still a relatively unexplored area. Through seven qualitative interviews and a online ethnography, we have done a study that investigates employees exp
Kultur och värderingar är ett allt mer omdiskuterat område i urvalsprocesser samtidigt som egenskaper och kompetenser krävs för att en person ska betraktas som kvalificerad för en anställning. Valet av frågor och bedömningsunderlag ligger till grund för anställningsbeslut och är därför av stor betydelse i intervjusammanhang. I denna studie genomfördes en attitydmätning för att undersöka vad yrkesvCulture and values are terms that are currently more and more discussed in recruitment processes, whilst at the same time personal traits and competences are required in order to be qualified for an employment. The choice of interview questions and assessment grounds are the foundation of the employment decision and therefore of the utter most importance in an interview context. In this research s
