Bakgrund: Bakgrunden till uppsatsen är de ökade diskussionerna om krav på kommunikativa färdigheter och social kompetens. Arbetslivets behov av att ge personal fullgod utbildning inom dessa områden har därmed hamnat i centrum i dessa diskussioner. Detta ledde till att vi började fundera över olika utvecklingsmetoder att träna sådana förmågor och huruvida man använder sig av pedagogiskt drama för a
Vi har i vårt arbete utgått från huvudfrågeställningen ”hur upplever personalen förändringar som uppstår i samband med outsourcing?”. Denna frågeställning har vi delat in i följande tre delfrågor som vi anser är centrala för hur personalen upplever förändringarna: Hur upplevde personalen den information som gavs i samband med outsourcingen, hur upplever personalen sina nya roller samt hur upplever
Over the last decade the music festival sector grew enormously: in 2008 over a million festivalgoers gathered in the UK to share music and companionship. However in doing so musicfestivals generate large volumes of waste streams and consume large quantities of resources. Amusic festival of more than 40 000 people will produce in the order of 2000 tons of CO2e –with audience transportation and on s
Organisationskultur har under senare decennierna blivit ett välkänt och välstuderat fenomen. IKEA är ett företag som har expanderat i snabb takt och företaget bör räknas som synnerligen framgångsrikt. Att som en multinationell koncern välja att behålla kärnverksamheten i en liten by som Älmhult är tämligen unikt, och gör studieobjektet än mer intressant. Av intresse i denna studie är framför allt
On January the first 2009 the rule of exit taxation for stock-options was abolished in favor of a rule adapted to EU case law. The rule of exit taxation regulated employees who participated in stock option plans and who moved out of Sweden before those plans had expired. The rule of exit taxation was aimed at those stock options for which vesting had occurred during the period when the employee r
The first Dublin Regulation was a result of those institutional changes that followed by the Amsterdam Treaty coming into force. The establishment was also a result of the European Council’s conclusions, from their meeting in Tampere in 1999. During the meeting The Council agreed to create a common European asylum system. The Dublin Regulation entered into force in 2003. The purpose of the regul
This report presents how far NCC current VDC tools and methods in building construction can be implemented in road and infrastructure projects also what new tools, methods that can be created helped by pre-selected software’s. VDC is well developed within the construction of building and research and resources in the field have been spent under a longer period of time unlike in road and infrastruc
En familj har traditionellt sett bestått av en moder, en fader och ett antal barn. Det innebär att lagstiftningen inom familjerätten är utformad för att passa dessa omständigheter. Lagstiftarna har arbetat utifrån antagandet att de familjer som skulle påverkas av deras lagstiftning skulle vara av den traditionella sorten och att deras lagstiftning därför skulle vara fullt tillräcklig. Det har sagTraditionally families have been made up of a mother, a father and any number of children. This means that the legislation in this area has been made to fit those circumstances. The legislators have worked under the assumption that the families affected by their policies would be of the traditional kind and therefore their policies would be sufficient. It has been said that the legislation in a
In this essay, the reader receives a presentation of the legal tools, which shareholders in closely held companies could use to ensure that the company is represented according to the rules of the Swedish Company Act. The author, has through its interest in entrepreneurship, small business and start-up ventures wanted to focus on how the shareholders of such closely held companies may use company
Det här arbetet har genomförts med hjälp av metoden för en fallstudie med flerfallsdesign och en analysenhet. Svenska livsmedelsbutiker är kontexten i arbetet, fallet är sekundärförpackningar för en viss produktkategori och analysenheten är egenskaper hos sekundärförpackningen. Med sekundärförpackning menas den förpackning som fraktas till butik och innehåller flera konsumentförpackningar, oftast
Parkinson’s disease (PD) can produce postural abnormalities of the standing body position such as kyphosis. We investigated the effects of PD, deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the subthalamic nucleus (STN), vision and adaptation on body position in a well-defined group of patients with PD in quiet standing and during balance perturbations. Ten patients with PD and 25 young and 17 old control partic
Massive expansion of erythroid progenitor cells is essential for surviving anemic stress. Research towards understanding this critical process, referred to as stress-erythropoiesis, has been hampered due to the lack of specific marker-combinations enabling analysis of the distinct stress-progenitor cells capable of providing radioprotection and enhanced red blood cell production. Here we present a
Understanding the critical soil moisture (SM) threshold (θcrit) of plant water stress and land surface energy partitioning is a basis to evaluate drought impacts and improve models for predicting future ecosystem condition and climate. Quantifying the θcrit across biomes and climates is challenging because observations of surface energy fluxes and SM remain sparse. Here, we used the latest databas
Background: Group B Streptococcus (GBS) is the leading cause of life-threatening infections in new-borns and may cause invasive disease, stillbirth and preterm delivery during pregnancy. While no licensed vaccine exists, maternal immunization might protect against neonatal disease and adverse pregnancy outcomes. We assessed the safety and immunogenicity of a prototype vaccine consisting of the fus
Summary . Pied Flycatchers Ficedula hypoleuca are known to be victims of nest killings in contexts of competition for nest boxes. However, there is only anecdotal information on their opposite role as perpetrators of nest takeovers and occasional killings of other songbirds. Over 31 years we examined whether competition with Great Tits Parus major over nest box ownership is a significant source of
Splicing and translation are two of the key steps of post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Their tight regulation is essential for development, whereas their deregulation is involved in cancer pathogenesis. Nevertheless, many of the molecular mechanisms controlling these processes are still unknown. Hence, the main aim of this thesis is to elucidate novel regulatory mechanisms that a
Background: The Hawthorne Effect is the change in behaviour by subjects due to their awareness of being observed and is evident in both research and clinical settings as a result of various forms of observation. When the Hawthorne effect exists, it is short-lived, and likely leads to increased productivity, compliance, or adherence to standard protocols. This study is a qualitative component of an
Pepsin-like aspartic proteases (PAPs) are a class of aspartic proteases which shares tremendous structural similarity with human pepsin. One of the key structural features of PAPs is the presence of a β-hairpin motif otherwise known as flap. The biological function of the PAPs is highly dependent on the conformational dynamics of the flap region. In apo PAPs, the conformational dynamics of the fla
