Ämne: Traditionella intranät misslyckas ofta med att skapa lärande men med det sociala intranätet har hoppet återvänt. Sociala intranät är ett nytt fenomen varför forskning om dess betydelse för organisationer är bristande. Syfte: Att undersöka hur det sociala intranätet kan vara ett forum för deltagande, dialog och lärande. Metod och material: Konversationer på Electrolux sociala intranät, E-gate

The writing of a business plan has become increasingly more highlighted in the academic world during the last few years as courses are being taught on the subject and a number of competitions have been started. Lund Institute of Technology co-organises an annual business plan competition called Venture Cup in order to encourage students and other participants to get into entrepreneurship. People a

Linde Gas is one division belonging to The Linde Group, which is an industrial gas and engineering company. With its 53000 employees in 70 countries and related sales of about €12 billion, The Linde Group is a world leading company. Linde Gas has two different types of delivery agreements which are seen as profitable; the customer can call in himself to place an order (”Order Only” customer) or th

Den här uppsatsen handlar om aspekter av generell internationell rätt som begränsar ett enhetligt skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna i Europa. Genom att diskutera och förklara fall från EU-domstolen och Europadomstolen så visas de begränsande aspekterna i internationell rätt genom de bägge domstolarnas agerande. EU-domstolen hade sedan tidigare, tydligt och med emfas, slagit fast att EU-rättenThis thesis deals with the inherent hinders in international law, which are obstacles to a coherent human rights protection in Europe. By looking at cases from the European Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights respectively, the inherent hinders are presented through the differences in attitudes demonstrated in case-law from the two courts and discussed in light of the potential

Phenological vegetation characteristics are valuable inputs to several ecosystem-related models: including carbon exchange and climate change. Phenological characteristics are effective measures of changes in vegetation in an area and are subject to the seasonal and inter-annual climatic variations. In arid and semi-arid ecosystems, precipitation is the main driving factor for changes in vegetatio

In the life in the consumer society experiences and tourism tends to become more important. With mass production as a major part of society the material assets are not enough to fulfil the consumers needs. This is why the experience economy has become increasingly important. Through the consumption of experiences the consumer also consumes places and other intangible things. One example of this is

The Moraxella catarrhalis IgD-binding protein (MID) has a unique specificity for human IgD, and the sequence with maximal IgD binding is located within the amino acids MID962-1200. In the present paper, we examined the MID binding site on IgD using a series of recombinant Ig. Full-length IgD, IgD F(ab')(2), and an IgD F(ab') C290R mutant lacking the inter-heavy-chain cysteine 290 were manufactured

A cloud system resolving model including photo-chemistry (CSRMC) has been developed based on a prototype version of the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model and is used to study influences of deep convection on chemistry in the TOGA COARE/CEPEX region. Lateral boundary conditions for trace gases are prescribed from global chemistry-transport simulations, and the vertical advection of trace

BACKGROUND The sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA) parameter DNA fragmentation index (DFI) has been shown to predict in vivo and in vitro fertility. So far most SCSA studies have been based on SCSA analysis performed on neat semen. The aim of this study is to assess whether SCSA analysis of sperm prepared by density gradient centrifugation (DGC) could add more information in regard to the predi

BACKGROUND: Salt-inducible kinase 2 (SIK2) is abundant in adipocytes, but downregulated in adipose tissue from individuals with obesity and insulin resistance. Moreover, SIK isoforms are required for normal insulin signalling and glucose uptake in adipocytes, but the underlying molecular mechanisms are currently not known. The adherens junction protein JUP, also termed plakoglobin or γ-catenin, ha

Smart cyber-physical systems (S-CPSs) are complex engineered systems empowered by cyber-physical computing and equipped with the capability of reasoning, learning, adapting, and evolving. As an outcome of data-driven dynamic computing, reasoning capabilities, and the run-time obtained own knowledge, nonlinear and emergent behavior of S-CPSs whilst in operation is an open issue, not experienced in

Supplier relationships in the automotive industry have changed fundamentally in recent decades owing to trends such as less verticalintegration, global sourcing, simultaneous engineering, and theInternet. Suppliers have become much more important in terms ofboth production and development. The ability to manage engineeringchanges (EC) efficiently and reliably reflects the capability of thewhole su

INTRODUCTION: Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is caused by the destruction of pancreatic islet beta cells resulting in total loss of insulin production. Recent studies have suggested that the destruction may be interrelated to plasma lipids.OBJECTIVES: Specific lipids have previously been shown to be decreased in children who develop T1D before four years of age. Disturbances of plasma lipids prior to clini

Helping others is a key feature of human behavior. However, recent studies render this feature not uniquely human, and describe discoveries of prosocial behavior in non-human primates, other social mammals, and most recently in some bird species. Nevertheless, the cognitive underpinnings of this prosociality; i.e., whether animals take others’ need for help into account, often remain obscured. In

The last three decades have seen an increase of tests aimed at measuring an individual’s vocabulary level or size. The target words used in these tests are typically sampled from word frequency lists, which are in turn based on language corpora. Conventionally, test developers sample items from frequency bands of 1000 words; different tests employ different sampling ratios. Some have as few as 5 o

Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the image quality of 7 iterative reconstruction (IR) algorithms in comparison to filtered back-projection (FBP) algorithm. Methods An anthropomorphic chest phantom was scanned on 4 computed tomography scanners and reconstructed with FBP and IR algorithms. Image quality of anatomical details - large/medium-sized pulmonary vessels, small pulmonary vessels, tho

Introduction: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use disorder frequently co-occur and tend to have their onset during adolescence. Although research has highlighted the importance of treating these disorders in an integrated fashion, there is a dearth of empirically validated integrated treatment options for adolescents with this comorbidity. This paper describes the study protoco
