Att hantera mångfald kan definieras på olika sätt. En betydelse orden kan ha är bland annat att förstå att det finns olikheter bland anställda och att dessa olikheter kan, om de är rätt hanterade, fungera som en tillgång till att arbeta mer effektivt och ändamålsenligt. De flesta forskare inom mångfald anser att mångfald är till fördel, men det finns även andra forskare som ser problemet som mångf

Denna uppsats baserar sig på en utredning av Försäkringskassan, som presenterades i maj 2005. Titeln var Utredning om könsneutralt och delat barnbidrag. Försäkringskassan hade fått i uppdrag av regeringen att utreda förutsättningarna för att göra lagstiftningen kring barnbidraget könsneutral och införa en möjlighet för föräldrarna att kunna dela bidraget mellan sig. Den nuvarande barnbidragslagsti

Purpose: The aim of this thesis is to explore the transition towards a hybrid work model and the implications it may have on the use and adaptation of management control within PSFs. The purpose is further to highlight the reasons behind the adaptations of MCS. Methodology: A qualitative single case study of a professional service firm, with empirical data collected through semi-structured interv

Den offentliga sektorn är en stor aktör på många olika marknader. Offentliga inköp görs varje år för betydande summor i Sverige. Det offentliga upphandlingsförfarandet styr dessa inköp och regleras framförallt i LOU. Ett upphandlingsförfarande bygger på tanken att låta leverantörer konkurrera om offentliga kontrakt på ett öppet, likvärdigt och konkurrensneutralt sätt. De svenska upphandlingsbestämThe public sector is a major operator on numerous different markets. In Sweden public purchases are made for great amounts every year. The public procurement procedure is governing these purchases and is mainly regulated in LOU. A procurement procedure is based on the idea to let contractors compete for public contracts in an open, equal and competitively neutral way. The Swedish public procuremen

Det råder en hög konkurrens inom reseindustrin, både mellan resebyråer men också genom den bokning som sker på internet, det blir därmed avgörande att skapa konkurrensfördelar genom kundrelationer. Frontpersonal måste alltid leverera god service samtidigt som det ständigt efterfrågas ett högre tempo och ökad försäljning. Då forskning visar att dessa två komponenter inte går att kombinera då den en

Flux equations describing brain D-glucose uptake are presented for up to four tissue compartments: blood, endothelial intracellular space in the blood-brain barrier (BBB), extravascular-extracellular space (EES), and intracellular space. Transport rates are described by Michaelis-Menten kinetics, including half-saturation constants ( K T ) and maximum rates for transport ( T max )

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

Chemical Management Services (CMS), an application of Product Service Systems (PSS) in the chemical sector, attempts to optimise chemical consumption patterns. CMS works by changing the fundamental relationship between chemical suppliers and chemical customers and providing incentives to both to reduce the quantity of chemicals used. CMS is gaining increasing popularity as a tool for cost savings

The frequent replacement of office furniture contributes to the increasing production of solid waste that leads to the use of more landfill space. Germany only produces approximately 700000 t of office furniture waste per year whereas most of this waste goes to landfill or incin-eration (Nolte, 2001). In addition, there are concerns about the use of hazardous chemicals in office furniture producti

Since the European Union’s inception, creating a well functioning, competitive and integrated market has been at the heart of the Unions project. The four freedoms, free movement of persons, goods, services and capital, which led to the opening of the boarders, have been one of the main forces behind growth in Europe. Today, Europe has become the world’s biggest economy and the Single Market is it

Risk and return go hand in hand, and one way for a firm to mitigate existing and potential investors' risk in a stock is to employ a financial service; liquidity providing. The value of liquidity provision has become relevant as market uncertainties and shocks in the market create disturbances. In addition, the market environment has changed with regulation and the increase of high-frequency t

BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of renal amyloidosis is normally established by kidney biopsy. In order to advance the determination of the diagnosis and the initiation of the therapy, fast and cheap, non-invasive diagnostic techniques are required.METHODS: Urine excretion of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) was measured in 10 patients with AA amyloidosis and 5 patients with AL amyloidosis and compared to 25 co

Investigating physical activity (PA) patterns as a detailed intensity spectrum instead of crude intensity categories have improved the ability to analyze the relationship between measured PA and health variables. The aim of this methodological study was to introduce and investigate the utility of using detailed PA intensity spectrum compared to crude PA intensity categories for comparison of PA be

BACKGROUND: Alterations of the charge-selective properties of the glomerular capillary wall are important constituents of the pathogenesis of many glomerular diseases. Thus, differences in the degree of such changes could be of help in understanding the mechanisms governing the transport of macromolecules across the glomerular capillary wall.METHODS: The ratio between urine concentrations of neutr

This thesis focuses mainly on the co-integration of vertical nanowiren-type InAs and p-type GaSb MOSFETs on Si (Paper I & II), whereMOVPE grown vertical InAs-GaSb heterostructure nanowires areused for realizing monolithically integrated and co-processed all-III-V CMOS.Utilizing a bottom-up approach based on MOVPE grown nanowires enablesdesign flexibilities, such as in-situ doping and heterostr

Background: Cost-effectiveness models in Parkinson’s disease often include health states based on Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) and time in ‘off’. Few studies have investigated utilities in these health states. Objective: The aim of this study was firstly to explore utilities in health states based on H&Y and off-time, and secondly to investigate to what extent H&Y and off-time correlated with
