Purpose – The purpose of this study is to uncover what motivational factors exists for companies to use co-creational methods. It also aims to recognize what beneficial factors can come from using these methods. The restriction of using social media depending on industry or size of company will be reflected upon. The main research question is “What motivates companies to use customer co-creation a

Aim of the study: Understand the effects of physical surroundings on humanitarian assistance service workers’ satisfaction, and develop a first step conceptual model explaining the effects of physical surroundings on employee job satisfaction and turnover rate in humanitarian assistance service. Methodology: Qualitative multiple - case study design was adapted for this study to understand the eff

Den här uppsatsen tar sikte på de historiska förändringar av apoteksprivilegiet som urholkade apotekarnas ensamrätt att bedriva apoteksverksamhet. Uppsatsen undersöker också dessa förändringar i förhållande till förstatligandet av apoteken som ägde rum 1970 samt perioden som föregick det. Apotekaryrket har historiskt haft en särskild ställning i förhållande till andra yrkeskategorier. I nära trehThis thesis takes aim at the historical events that changed the pharmacists’ privilege and their sole right to run pharmacies. The thesis also investigates these changes in relation to the nationalization of the pharmacies that took place 1970 and the foregoing events. The pharmacists have historically had a special position in relation to other professions. For almost three centuries the pharmac

Denna uppsats har som syfte att utreda hur de allmänna kontraktsrättsliga passivitetsprinciperna som har utvecklats genom doktrin och prejudikat kan påverka det entreprenadrättsliga avtalsförhållandet som uppstår genom AB 04, med fokus på de underrättelse-, reklamations- och preskriptionsregler som finns däri. Uppsatsen inleds med en redogörelse för hur passivitet i avtalsförhållanden med utgångThe purpose of this thesis is to analyze how the general contractual principles of passivity, which have developed through the legal doctrine and case law, may impact the contractual relationship between the contractor and the client, based on the contractual standard term AB 04. The thesis will focus on the notifications, claims and time limitations regulated within AB 04. The thesis will initi

I uppsatsen studeras hur ett införande av ett tillräknelighetskrav för psykiskt störda lagöverträdare påverkar det straffrättsliga ansvaret och påföljden. Utgångspunkten är det förslag på tillräcklighetskrav som presenterats i regeringens utredning SOU 2012:17. Förslaget jämförs med den nuvarande lagstiftningen med syftet att undersöka om ett införande är relevant. I det fall en allvarligt psykiThis thesis examines how the introduction of a defence of insanity for mentally ill offenders would affect criminal liability and sentencing. The premise is the proposed defence of insanity which was outlined in the governmental inquiry SOU 2012:17. The proposal is compared with current legislation, and aims to investigate if the adoption of such a policy is pertinent The proposal suggests that

A supply chain is often complex in nature. Goods, information, and money shall flow in and between companies in a simple and cost effective manner. There are a number of tools that companies can use to control and manage the supply chain in an efficient manner. In this work, two types of IT-based tools are compared i.e integrated and best-of-breed solutions. The questions this work will try to ans

Background and purpose - Childhood fractures are associated with lower peak bone mass (a determinant of osteoporosis in old age) and higher adult fracture risk. By examining time trends in childhood fracture epidemiology, it may be possible to estimate the vector of fragility fracture risk in the future. Patients and methods - By using official inpatient and outpatient data from the county of Skån

The superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) is the largest gene family in the human genome. GPCR-mediated signaling operates in every human cell, and about 50% of existing clinically useful drugs act through GPCR. Kinins are proinflammatory peptides that are rapidly produced extracellularly following pathological insults and tissue damage. These peptides act through two GPCR subtypes, B1

Background: Previous studies have shown that the ADIPOR1, ADORA1, BTG2 and CD46 genes differ significantly between long-term survivors of breast cancer and deceased patients, both in levels of gene expression and DNA copy numbers. The aim of this study was to characterize the expression of the corresponding proteins in breast carcinoma and to determine their correlation with clinical outcome. Meth

Pyrazinamide (PZA) is a potent first-line agent for the treatment of tuberculosis (TB) with activity also against a significant part of drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains. Since PZA is active only at acid pH, testing for susceptibility to PZA is difficult and insufficiently reproducible. The recommended critical concentration for PZA susceptibility (MIC, 100 mg/liter) used in the Ba

Background: The Toll-like receptor proteins are important in host defense and initiation of the innate and adaptive immune responses. A number of studies have identified associations between genetic variation in the Toll-like receptor genes and allergic disorders such as asthma and allergic rhinitis. The present study aim to search for genetic variation associated with allergic rhinitis in the Tol

Genetic alterations underlying the development of the cancer of the nose and paranasal sinuses (sinonasal cancer, SNC), a rare cancer that can be included in the group of head and neck cancers, are still largely unknown. We recently reported that TP53 mutations are a common feature of SNC, with an overall frequency of 77%, and they show association to adenocarcinoma and wood-dust exposure [15]. In

The distribution of neuropeptide Y (NPY)-immunoreactivity was investigated in the rabbit maxillary sinus and adjacent ganglia. A moderate supply of NPY-containing nerve fibers occurred around seromucous glands and a denser supply around small blood vessels. Only a few immunoreactive nerve fibers were seen beneath the epithelium. Double immunostaining showed that vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)
