Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är trefaldigt. Dels är det att kartlägga vilka mått som anses vara relevanta inom den professionella debatten och dels är det att applicera den kunskapen på de fyra svenska storbankernas årsredovisningar för vartannat år under tidsperioden 1990-2008, för att undersöka informationsvärdet i dessa. Slutligen kommer att undersökas om det finns ett samband mellan informa

Based on an ethnographic study, the dissertation discusses the concept of "responsibility" in the context of what happened when workers were made responsible for an area of their own. It turned out that "being responsible", was related to a narrative identity that differed from the one they used before they were made formally responsible. For most of the workers, the narrative of being "responsibl

To fulfill increasing requirements within the manufacturing sector, highly flexible and adaptable automation systems are needed. It is desirable to have one integrated approach that stretches from the process planning phase, through the implementation phase and all the way to the phase for execution of the process control logics. One promising approach is to use the concepts of service-oriented ar

LTH:s policy för kvalitetsarbete kring grund- utbildningen placerar studenternas lärande i fokus, och anger att den pedagogiska utvecklingen ska bygga på en väl- informerad dialogprocess. Enkäten CEQ används sedan hösten 2003 i stor omfattning som dataunderlag i kvalitetsarbetet. Under de första fem åren har stora mängder data samlats in, men inte särskilt många undersökningar gjorts på materialet

Eutrophication is one of the most serious global threats to coastal areas. One effect of eutrophication is seasonal macroalgal blooms. As a consequence, large amounts of beach-cast algae are today reported from coastal areas worldwide. In this study, we analyze nonmarket benefits by capturing local residents' Willingness To Pay (WTP) for an environmental program to regularly remove and utilize bea

As the quest for knowledge translation from research to practice and policy contexts is growing stronger, researchers need to develop strategies for synthesizing research findings. Since home environments constitute an important context for the delivery of health care and social services to older adults and people aging with disabilities, research in this field can serve as an example for such end

Background: To expand our clinical and scientific knowledge about holistic outcomes within palliative care, there is a need for agreed-upon patient-reported outcome measures. These patient-reported outcome measures then require translation and cultural adaptation, either from country-specific languages to English, or the other way around. The aim of this study was to translate and cross-culturally

BACKGROUND: The study was carried out to evaluate the expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules in retinal transplants with different tissue integrity.METHODS: Twelve adult rabbits received an allogeneic subretinal neuroretinal transplant, in the form of either fragmented embryonic cells or a complete full-thickness embryonic retina. A controlled transvitreal approach was used

År 2001 deklarerade den tanzaniska regeringen den första Primary Education Development Plan och därmed avskaffades den tidigare obligatoriska skolavgiften för grundskolan. I och med avskaffandet av skolavgiften förväntades andelen barn i grundskola att öka. Syftet med avhandlingen är att förstå hur reformen och dess fokus på avskaffandet av skolavgiften har påverkat föräldrars och vårdnadshavares In 2001, the first Primary Education Development Plan declared that the previous obligatory primary education fee was to be abolished in Tanzania. This was an attempt to increase the access to public primary education for all children. This thesis aims to understand how the reform and its focus on the abolition of school fee influences parents’ and caregivers’ support for primary education and imp

The objectives of this study are to assess the perception of slipperiness, thermal comfort, and wearability of footwear used on icy surfaces, and the anti-slip effect of materials spread on ice using outdoor walking trials. Twenty-five subjects wore four types of footwear walking on five different icy surfaces. Five-point rating scale was used recording wearer's perception. The results showed that

Projektet har gjort en kartläggning över Lunds universitets förmågor att stötta god forskningsdatahantering med hjälp av verksamhetsarkitekturella metoder. Kartläggningen grundar sig på intervjuermed forskare, workshops med forskare, intervjuer med expertroller och stödorganisationspersonal,samt enkät till stödorganisationer. Analyser av insamlat material har resulterat i grafiska representationer

Background: Previous research shows that many cancer-bereaved youths report unresolved grief several years after the death of a parent. Grief work hypothesis suggests that, in order to heal, the bereaved needs to process the pain of grief in some way. This study explored acute grief experiences and reactions in the first 6 months post-loss among cancer-bereaved teenagers. We further explored long-

The European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) have collaborated to produce these post-resuscitation care guidelines for adults, which are based on the 2020 International Consensus on Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Science with Treatment Recommendations. The topics covered include the post-cardiac arrest syndrome, diagnosis of cause of cardiac a

Women are at increased risk of complications after Cesarean section (CS) postpartum and in subsequent pregnancy and delivery. The overall aim of the thesis was to evaluate complications after CS, outline options for their management and to assess strategies to increase the rate of vaginal deliveries after CS (VBAC).Paper I was a prospective study where women were offered to have an additional appo

Since most models used to study neuronal dysfunction display disadvantages and ethical concerns, a fast and reproducible in vitro model to study mitochondria-related neurodegeneration is required. Here, we optimized and characterized a 3-day retinoic acid-based protocol to differentiate the SH-SY5Y cell line into a neuronal-like phenotype and investigated alterations in mitochondrial physiology an

The Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACrtHR) has developed in recent years an innovative jurisprudence that has integrated the entity and extension of States’ obligations regarding children’s rights—as established in Article 19 ACHR—through the evolutive, dynamic, and effective interpretation of the American Convention on Human Rights (ACHR). In fact, by acknowledging the existence of an int

Objective: To compare the rate of vaginal birth after cesarean section (VBAC), including the maternal and perinatal outcomes, in two historical cohorts before and after the implementation of specific changes in the clinical practice. Design: A retrospective cohort study. Setting: Skåne University Hospital in Malmö, Sweden. Participants: including all women with one previous cesarean section (CS),

This article analyses the role that ‘ordre public’ and morality exceptions can play in the granting of patents on inventions in the field of human germline editing and the consequences of this policy option. In order to provide the context for such an analysis, the article will, first, provide an overview of the current patent landscape for relevant genome editing technologies, drawing attention t
