Kommunikationskonsulter anses ha en viktig roll i samhället. Deras verksamhet handlar till stor del om att sprida idéer och kunskap som kan lösa problem organisationer står inför, men detta har fått ett begränsat utrymme i den existerande forskningen. Fältet har präglats av instrumentella studier och studier om kommunikationskonsultens roll och identitet. När en idé vid samma tidpunkt följs av månCommunication consultants are considered to have an important role in today's society. Their work includes dissemination of ideas and knowledge in order to solve organizational problems. However, the existing literature on this subject is limited. The research field mostly contains instrumental studies and studies on the role and identity of the communication consultant. When an idea is adopte

The extensive studies on D. sechellia have made it a familiar example of chemosen-sory evolution and speciation. This specialist drosphilid species is well-known for its ability to tolerate and actively seek out its toxic host Morinda citrifolia (noni). It was originally thought that this toxic fruit was the exclusive host of D. sechellia because most drosophilids cannot tolerate and are deterred

Cancer, a group of diseases with abnormal cell growth, is today very common in our society. There are different forms of cancer, which all display different symptoms, but still have mutual characteristics. One such is the way cancer cells create energy which, like healthy cells, starts with glycolysis of glucose to pyruvate. In healthy cells, with sufficient oxygen supply, the enzyme pyruvate dehy

Current research shows that the number of workless people living in social housing is disproportionately high in comparison to other housing tenures. The aim of the Thesis is to examine the pathways into work available to social housing tenants, to better understand the phenomena of worklessness. Our object of study is that of residents within a social housing neighbourhood in Pennywell. A case st

This study focuses on the part of the policy process called implementation. Theorists like Lipsky (1980) and Rice (2012) assign the street-level bureaucrats a major role in this process. The street-level bureaucrats of object in this study are personnel on group homes for unaccompanied minors. Since the children do not have anyone else to look after them, it is the welfare states responsibility to

Problem definition: Supply chain segmentation is a topic which in later years has received increasing attention from supply chain managers of companies in industrial settings. To members of the supply chain research community the ideas and theoretical contributions underlying the concept of supply chain segmentation are hardly new, but have evolved ever since the beginning of the 1990s. However, a

Den som mottagit en förmånersättning enligt SFB kan bli återbetalningsskyldig om det visar sig att utbetalningen varit felaktig. Även om den felaktiga ersättningen inte orsakats av den försäkrade själv kan det bedömas att det skäligen borde ha funnits en insikt om att utbetalningen varit felaktig. När det finns en god man eller förvaltare förordnad för den försäkrade uppstår en oklarhet i vems ins

Foreign aid and all kinds of support aiming at international development are of great importance for the developing nations. The World Bank's report "Assessing aid" claims that aid is efficient conditional on institutional quality and good policy. There have been a lot of criticism and debate around this conclusion. E.g. Dalgaard, Hansen and Tarp who claim that this conclusion is dou

Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the intensity of telomerase activity measured on the cellular level in effusions correllates to survival time in cases of metastatic spread to the serous cavities. Study Design Telomere repeat amplification protocol (TRAP) in situ was applied to 46 effusions containing metastatic cancer cells. Results Weak telomerase activity in tumor cel

There is an increasing interest in new strategies for replacing animal tests in research. The use of cell cultures and integrated electrodes is seen as a promising alternative that could potentially solve this problem. In this work, we present a L-glutamate sensor based on a bienzyme redox hydrogel, capable of detecting the release of this excitatory neurotransmitter from adherently growing cells

Norms and conventions have applied to most of our material culture. This seems to be especially obvious regarding Neolithic flint axes. The distinction between the unpolished and the polished flint axe is one aspect of the symbolism that is inherent in or ascribed to the axes when they become maces, with an important position in social life. The individuals and the society become not only owners o
