Sammanfattning Detta är en studie av sjuksköterskors bemötande av patienter på Sjukvårdsrådgivningen i Region Skåne. Syftet är att undersöka hur det helhetstänkande som är vanligt förekommande i teoretiska debatter om sjukvården är förankrat i den praktiska verksamheten. Jag fokuserar på bemötande som kompetens, och studerar dess plats och auktoritet i organisationen. Jag undersöker även hur helh
The right of access to medicines has challenged the common perception that economic, social and cultural rights, due to their progressive character, are aspirations rather than a legal set of obligations. It has received strong and sustainable global support and has achieved a remarkably detailed legal definition within the UN human rights system, including the provision of access to essential med
With this thesis I contribute with critical and applied research that challenges empirically and theoretically the naturalization of research categories regarding gender within the different frameworks of development studies. In this study, I investigate initiatives to incorporate gender considerations into a project I collaborated within Chalatenango, El Salvador. This project was conceived withi
Uppsatsen behandlar gällande rätt rörande arbetstagarens integritet och kravet på dennes lojalitet inom svensk arbetsrätt. Rätten som den ser ut idag ställs mot de nya problem som uppkommit efter Internet och så kallade sociala mediers intåg på den svenska arbetsmarknaden. Integritetsfrågor har länge varit intressant på den svenska arbetsmarknaden och har influerats av arbetet inom den europeiskThe thesis deals with the current Swedish legislation concerning the employee’s right to personal integrity and the need for his loyalty in the Swedish labour law. Modern day law is faced with the new problems that arose after the inmarsch of Internet and the so called social media into the Swedish labour market. The matter of integrity in the Swedish labour market has been of great interest for
A concern that arises with any change in design or operative technique is whether it affects the long-term implant stability or not. One way to address this is, by measuring early micromotion, to predict the future revision rate. This study was set to evaluate the early migration and the functional outcome of the Triathlon™ total knee arthroplasty system in different subsets of design. In addition
Popular Abstract in Swedish Intresset för evidens-baserad vård växer snabbt men trots att nya forskningsresultat produceras och publiceras löpande, tar det lång tid innan de får genomslag i den vård som erbjuds patienter och brukare. Det finns beräkningar som talar för att det tar mellan åtta och trettio år innan tillgängliga forskningsresultat har blivit implementerade och börjat användas rutinmäThe aim of this thesis was to investigate and synthesise the knowledge base concerning leadership and its influence on the implementation of evidence-based practice. A further aim was to investigate attitudes and beliefs among politicians, healthcare managers and mental healthcare professionals about the Swedish national guidelines for schizophrenia or schizophrenia-like conditions. Data was colle
Plumage ornamentation often signals the quality of males and, therefore, female birds may choose elaborately ornamented mates to increase their fitness. Such mate choice may confer both direct and indirect benefits to the offspring. Males with elaborate ornaments may provide good genes, which can result in better nestling growth, survival or resistance against parasitic infections. However, these
Hydrophobic hydration, the perturbation of the aqueous solvent near an apolar solute or interface, is a fundamental ingredient in many chemical and biological processes. Both bulk water and aqueous solutions of apolar solutes behave anomalously at low temperatures for reasons that are not fully understood. Here, we use 2H NMR relaxation to characterize the rotational dynamics in hydrophobic hydrat
Multi-proxy analysis was performed on a radiocarbon-dated core, collected from a relic oxbow lake in the Limpopo River-plain, Mozambique, with the aim to reconstruct paleo-environment and past flooding of the lower river system over the past c. 800 years. An additional objective was to evaluate and investigate the potential use of different proxies as recorders of paleo-flooding events and paleo-e
Popular Abstract in Swedish Försök att föreställa dig något som är så litet att det inte går att se i ett mikroskop, något som är betydligt mindre än både DNA och protein. Det är sådana molekyler jag har jobbat med i mitt avhandlingsarbete. Dessa små molekyler kallas mikroRNA och finns i alla celler och har betydelse för hur en cell uppför sig. De kan till exempel styra bildandet av nya nervcellerOnly a few decades ago, it was generally believed that gene expression was controlled in a unidirectional way, i.e. DNA was transcribed into RNA, which simply acted as a messenger molecule used to produce the protein that executed cellular functions. It was not until the 1970-80’s that RNA interference was proclaimed as a gene regulatory process, and now it is increasingly evident that non-coding
During recent decades women have made considerable advances in education and the labor market, even in fast-track professions such as law, medicine, and academia. While women have entered high-status professions, the career paths of some jobs have changed little and are still inflexible, which implies that professional gains may be offset by familial losses. We investigate continued childbearing,
Bioassay experiments were performed two times (with 2 years in between) in order to investigate if nitrogen (N, ammonium), phosphorus (P, phosphate) and carbon (C, glucose) additions would stimulate the growth of bacteria and phytoplankton differently in three different tropical aquatic environments. The water and their indigenous microbial communities were taken from a freshwater coastal lake (Ca
Background: Research suggests that the growing prevalence of obesity may be related to the influence of the health behaviours of peers. We look at clustering of exercise and eating behaviours amongst a previously unstudied group, young adults in Sweden. Previous research has mainly been conducted in the United States and Britain, countries that have relatively high rates of obesity. Methods: Using
BACKGROUND: Despite their pivotal roles in colorectal carcinogenesis, the interrelationship and prognostic significance of beta-catenin alterations and microsatellite instability (MSI) in colorectal cancer (CRC) needs to be further clarified. In this paper, we studied the associations between beta-catenin overexpression and MSI status with survival from CRC, and with expression of p21, p27, cyclin
The dilution effect of N-2/CO2 on the laminar burning velocity of H-2-CO-O-2 mixtures was investigated. The dilution fraction of N-2 and CO2 in the unburned mixtures varied from 0% to 70% and 0%-50%, respectively, and H-2 content in H-2-CO fuels altered from 5% to 100%. All the studies were carried out at standard laboratory conditions (1 atm, 298 K) with equivalence ratio changing from 0.6 to 2.0
Asthma is a chronic respiratory disorder affecting an estimated 300 million people worldwide. Most patients with asthma can be controlled with bronchodilators and low to moderate dose inhaled corticosteroids. However, an estimated 5-10% of the population presents a more troublesome disease, often referred to as severe asthma. The aim of present thesis was to study the relationship between histopat
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are major health problems associated with cardiovascular disease. Both diseases are influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. The aim of this thesis was to identify genetic risk factors for T2D, particularly T2D associated with obesity, and for MetS. To achieve this goal, we 1) followed-up a region linked to obese T2D in a
Context. It is still debated whether or not the Galactic chemical evolution of sulphur in the halo follows the flat trend with [Fe/H] that is ascribed to the result of explosive nucleosynthesis in type II SNe. It has been suggested that the disagreement between different investigations of sulphur abundances in halo stars might be owing to problems with the diagnostics used, that a new production s
Abstract in UndeterminedAbstractThe aim of this study is to investigate the structural licensing and the semantics of the dative-DP in ditransitive constructions in German from a cognitive and construction grammar perspective.While the indirect object in constructions with prototypical ditransitive verbs is said to be a lexically selected argument of the verb, the indirect object in beneficiary di
The end of history was announced by Francis Fukuyama as a result of the fall of the Berlin wall and the end of the Cold War. These happenings were seen as evidence of the victory of democracy and capitalism. Democracy has however not been as triumphant as expected and this is especially true for the developing countries. At the same time globalisation has become one of the major phenomena of our t
