Bakgrund: Det finns en brist på studier som belyser omvårdnad inom ambulanssjukvården. Fokus ligger på den akuta medicinska behandlingen och omvårdnadsåtgärder prioriteras inte i ett akut skede. För att kunna utveckla ambulanssjukvård är det viktigt att inte bortse från omvårdnadsbehov i det akuta skedet. Syfte: Syftet med föreliggande studie var att belysa ambulanssjuksköterskors perspektiv på om

Protoplanetary discs surround young stars for the first few million years after their formation and they are the birthplaces of planetary systems. The thermal structure of the discs is regulated by their dust content and the opacity that it provides. The aim of this project is to investigate the effect grain growth has on the structure of the protoplanetary discs. Hydrodynamical simulations have b

Under predation risk, a trade-off between the need for safety and foraging opportunity occurs. Fish have been shown to adopt several behavioural strategies in order to reduce the risk of being attacked by a predator. In order to deeper investigate this phenomenon, in the present study common roach (Rutilus rutilus) behavioural personalities have been assessed under laboratory conditions and in the

Tidigare forskning har visat på att sömn stärker minnen. Denna studie ämnade att utforska detta i en verklig situation genom att studera sömns effekt på vittnesmål. De 18 deltagarna fick se en video av en fiktiv misshandel och efter 12 timmar, där hälften av deltagarna var vakna under dagen och andra hälften av deltagarna sov under natten. De fick svara på ett minnestest om videon. Frågorna var inPrevious studies have shown that sleep strengthens memory. The current study has put this into a real-life context and study sleep’s effect on witness testimony. The 18 participants watched a video of a fictitious assault, and after a 12-hour delay, where half stayed awake during the day, and half slept during the night. They answered a questionnaire about the video, as a memory test. The question

There is a growing expectation in the field of sustainable development that cities are the most suitable scale for addressing global environmental issues, particularly through their ability to mobilize local actors. Business improvement districts (BIDs) are a form of public-private partnership (PPP) in cities typically established by associations of private actors that aim to generate value in com

The present master thesis was performed in cooperation with the company “Aventure AB”. The company’s R&D department envisioned a new yoghurt-based product able to decrease the blood glucose levels after a meal. The innovative characteristic of the product is due to the diet fibers of the barley grain, which is going to be incorporated inside the yoghurt. The preliminary experiments which were

The purpose of this master thesis was to provide reliable information to improve off-piste skiers’ knowledge, behaviour and risk management. This since research concerning human factors in the field of avalanches traditionally had been paid little attention. A literature review covering avalanche, traffic and risk literature and two surveys which gathered approximately 2000 responses were conducte

Using Multinational Time Use Study data from France and US, the effect of parental educational level on time spent with children is analyzed. Regressions in which the depent variables are the minutes used in total childcare, household work, leisure, basic childcare, educational childcare and recreational childcare are estimated. The pattern of total childcare is compared to household work and leis

The purpose of this study is to investigate, at the Stockholm Exchange during the period 1994 to 2006, whether certain quotations with particular characteristics can be said to produce positive abnormal returns relatively larger than others. We measure the initial return as well as the mid and long run abnormal returns for firms quoted on the Stockholm Exchange during 1994 and 2006 based on quotat

Recent accidents such as the Macondo blowout actualize the issue of offshore safety. Accidents do occur in spite of actions taken to prevent them from happening. The energy-barrier philosophy is the governing principle within the Norwegian offshore industry. The paradox with that philosophy is that the construction of additional barriers may increase complexity within the system. Risk may be seen

Climatic condition is what ultimately frames all ecosystems and is now undergoing dramatic change. IPCC models predict, in 100 years, a temperature increase between 2-5 ˚C and, as a consequence of warmer and wetter conditions, increased humic content in northern temperate freshwater systems. To study the impact of increasing temperature and humic content on shallow freshwaters a long-term outdoor

Studien ämnar belysa behovet av ett kreativitetsfrämjande ledarskap för att minska stress på arbetsplatser vilket är allt vanligare i den föränderliga omvärld vi lever i. Fenomenet kreativitet diskuteras utifrån delvis ett neurologiskt förhållningssätt och paralleller dras mellan kreativitet, ledarskap och personlighet. Den huvudsakliga hypotesen att kreativitetsfrämjande ledarskap minskar sjukskrThis study aims to underline the need of creativity-inducing leadership to minimize stress in organizations which is much more common in today’s global changing environment. The phenomenon is partially discussed from a neurological point of view and parallels can be drawn between creativity, leadership and personality. The main hypothesis that creativity-inducing leadership reduces absences from w

This paper investigates the effect of event-boundaries on false memories. The Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm was used to test the emergence of false memories in 42 Lund University students and an event- boundary was used to see if this reduced the susceptibility to false recall. The subjects viewed an array of 50 words, one at a time, which each was semantically connected to one of five “

This thesis investigates the stock return and its variance around seasoned equity offering announcements for Swedish companies listed on the OMX Large cap, Mid cap and Small cap exchanges. The analysis is made on a full sample containing 52 SEOs, as well as two sub-samples containing underwritten and non-underwritten SEOs. The framework for the event study is OLS regressions based on the CAPM-mode

The purpose of the present thesis is to analyze the effects of FDI on wages in the manufacturing sector from 2002-2008 in 33 different countries. The introductory chapter will review existing literature, distinguishing between neoclassical, political economy and sociology approaches. A second part will estimate the effects of FDI on wages using the panel ordinary least squares (OLS) fixed effects
