I en allt mer krympande värld, måste organisationer lära sig att snabbt reagera på marknadsförändringar. Medan organisationer blir bättre på att införa nya affärsprocesser, kvarstår problemet med en tungrodd och svårföränderlig IT–miljö. Det hela görs inte bättre av att organisationer blir mer och mer beroende av sin IT–infrastruktur. Det hela blir en paradox, då det som organisationerna är mest b
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze how the ongoing controversy surrounding the Internet, the phenomena of digitalization and file sharing will affect the music industry in the form of the “big five“ labels. Furthermore the thesis aims to present a recipe of strategies for the companies’ survival by studying their situation through a theoretical perspective in conjunction with a comparative a
A self-report instrument assessing work-related factors among people with psychiatric disabilities would be useful when trying to match possible employment or prevocational opportunities with people’s desires and capacities. The aim of this study was to explore the factor structure, internal consistency, and construct and criterion validity of the Worker Role Self-Assessment (WRS) in this group as
The palaeoproterozoic Northwestern region of the Ukrainian shield hosts two compositional types of mafic dykes and associated magmatism that intruded at c. 1800–1760 Ma: (1) high-Ni dolerite dykes and layered intrusions of tholeiitic affinity and (2) high-Ti dolerite dykes of jotunitic affinity associated with anorthosite–mangerite–charnockite–granite (AMCG) suites. The jotunitic dykes represent i
Background and Objectives: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several genetic regions involved in immune-regulatory mechanisms to be associated with celiac disease. Previous GWAS also revealed an over-representation of genes involved in type 2 diabetes and anorexia nervosa associated with celiac disease, suggesting involvement of common metabolic pathways for development of the
The application of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) for characterization of mixed plutonium and uranium particles from nuclear weapons material is presented. The particles originated from the so-called Thule accident in Greenland in 1968. Morphological properties have been studied by SEM and two groups were identified: a “popcorn” structure and a spongy
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will be ready for proton-proton collisions in the year 2005 and the ATLAS detector will be one of the two experiments at the LHC which will explore a new and higher energy range for particle physics. In this thesis, an analysis of the power of the ATLAS detector to detect a Standard Model Higgs boson has been performed. It is shown that it will be possible to discov
Registered nurses with a doctoral degree are important for the quality of care, nursing education, and nursing research. Still, postgraduate career paths are criticized for being too vague. To enable career path development, mapping of the current situation appears fundamental. The objective was therefore to chart the current professional positions and work conditions and to explore the future car
There has been a substantial rise in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases after adjusting the dynamic zero-COVID policy in China. We conducted a survey to investigate the self-perceived symptom profile and its association with vaccination status during this outbreak. There were 552 individuals in this survey. The infected individuals displayed various symptoms associated with different factor
Background: Growing evidences have advocated the potential benefits of traditional Chinese exercise (TCE) on symptomatic improvement of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). However, most of them have been derived from cross-sectional studies or case reports; the effectiveness of TCE therapies has not been fully assessed with a randomized control trial (RCT). In order to evaluate the combined clinical effect
INTRODUCTION: Mechanical ventilation is a fundamental component in the management of patients post cardiac arrest. However, the ventilator settings and the gas-exchange targets used after cardiac arrest may not be optimal to minimise post-anoxic secondary brain injury. Therefore, questions remain regarding the best ventilator management in such patients. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: This is a preplanned
The purpose of this research is to investigate Generation Y and Generation Z and their relation and approach to influence marketing and what challenges these generations’ preferences and behaviors could generate for managers within lifestyle brands. The research question this study is aiming to analyze is: What role do generational differences play in influence marketing and what are the potential
It has been shown that the semi-arid environment of the Sahelian belt plays an important role in the global carbon uptake as the fluctuation of its primary productivity can be determinant for the global carbon uptake. The insect Schistocerca gregaria commonly known as the desert locust is a disturbance factor that can affect the vegetation productivity for consecutive seasons. In this study the de
Devices connected to an Internet-based network, known as the Internet of Things (IoT), are becoming more common both privately in the household or on businesses. Everything from the lighting to coffee makers and washing machines, to the cars in the garage and the door locks can now be equipped with sensors and connected via the Internet to an application by users. Combitech has developed an Intern
The beneficial effects of HLA matching at the HLA-A, -B and -DR loci on recipient short- and long-term survival in heart transplants have been established in a number of studies. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the importance of individual HLA alleles at the HLA-A, -B and -DR loci as risk factors for recipient death within one year after transplant by using artificial neural net
Transgender persons experience a disproportionate representation in adverse mental health conditions globally. In Sweden there are tangible efforts to improving mental healthcare overall, but as a minority population, transgender persons still struggle with meeting their mental healthcare needs. While social factors such as stigma and discrimination act as catalysts for this burden, there is an ab
There are many actors included in the humanitarian system, such as NGOs, UN humanitarian agencies and governments. However, a gap in the humanitarian system can be identified where the traditional actors lack resources, which provides an opportunity for the private sector to be more involved, particularly in preparing for humanitarian operations. Therefore, in this research, a multiple-case study
Brottet folkmord kallas i folkmun för "brottets brott", vilket tyder på dess allvar och dess status som en jus cogens-norm i internationell rätt. Den nuvarande rättsliga definitionen av folkmord omfattar dock endast fysiska och biologiska handlingar, till skillnad från den ursprungliga definitionen som betonade innebörden av kulturellt folkmord. Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka omThe crime of genocide is popularly referred to as “the crime of crimes”, indicating its severity and its status as a jus cogens norm of international law. However, the current legal definition of genocide solely incriminates physical and biological acts of genocide, unlike the original definition that emphasized the significance of cultural genocide. This essay aims to investigate whether the lega
I syfte att undvika oönskade gränsöverskridande förflyttningar av vinstmedel genom koncerninterna transaktioner av varor, tjänster m.m. inom en multinationell koncern, ska sådana transaktioner prissättas på ett marknadsmässigt sätt. Med andra ord ska transaktionerna vara förenliga med regler om den s.k. armlängdsprincipen, som är en internationellt etablerad princip inom internprissättningens områTo avoid unwanted cross-border profit relocations within a multinational group through intra-group transactions of goods, services etc., such transactions shall be priced in a market-based manner. In other words, the transactions shall be compatible with taxation rules about the so-called arm’s length principle, an internationally recognized principle within the field of transfer pricing.
