Purpose - The article has two major purposes. The first purpose is to examine the roles and practices of communication professionals in relation to internal aspects of crisis communication. The second purpose is to suggest new roles and practices for communication professionals that will enable a strategic approach to internal crisis communication. This article is based on empirical material from
The overall aim of the thesis was to investigate and explore job satisfaction, strain and stress of conscience (SC) among nurse assistants (NAs) working in residential care for older people. The thesis had a descriptive, cross-sectional and correlational design and consisted of one paper where qualitative methodology was used and three where quantitative methodology was used. The qualitative study
A youth care institution may seem like a sort of regulated home. It does not resemble a home in the sense of a private household, and the youth living there usually do not define it as a home, but it seems like a home in the sense of being a place where youth in treatment spend most of their days and nights. But is that what a home is? In many cases, people in modern societies are not supposed to
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen är indelad i två delar. I den första delen studeras hur kommunikation påverkar utfall i strategiska situationer, så kallade spel. Den andra delen studerar individers riskpreferenser. Metodologiskt förlitar sig avhandlingen till största delen på ekonomiska experiment. I kapitel 2 till 4, som är författade tillsammans med Ola Andersson, studeras effekterna aThis thesis is divided into two distinct parts. The first part studies communication in games and the second part investigates individual decision making under risk. Chapters 2 – 4, co-authored with Ola Andersson, investigate communication and renegotiation in dynamic games. In Chapter 2, Bertrand supergames with non-binding communication are used to study price formation and stability of collus
The main motivation for this thesis, however not the only one, is the search for models for traffic in telecommunication networks. Traffic characterization and modeling are of great importance in the analysis and dimensioning of communication systems. During the last decades we have experienced an explosive growth of our telecommunication networks. New important properties, both on macroscopic and
PURPOSE: As a prelude to developing updated, evidence-based, international consensus recommendations for the management of hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA), the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) Treatment Guidelines Committee undertook a critical appraisal of published guidelines and a systematic review (SR) of more recent evidence for relevant therapies. METHODS: Sixteen exper
It is likely that the increased popularity of wireless local area networks (WLANs) together with the continuous technological advances in wireless communication, also increase the interest for ad hoc networks. An ad hoc network is a wireless, autonomous, infrastructure-less network composed of stations that communicate with each other directly in a peer-to-peer fashion. When discussing mobile ad h
Abstract Regnell, Astrid: Att se stjärnor på ljusa dagen. Förvandling och försoning i August Strindbergs En blå bok. Seeing stars in broad daylight. Transformation and Reconciliation in August Strindberg’s Zones of the Spirit. In this thesis a pattern of coherence is explored in August Strindberg’s Zones of the Spirit (En blå bok) – a literary work consisting of a collection of short and quite div
The last five years of unfolding political unrest in Egypt and beyond has urged research to explore activism beyond civil society and NGO-work in the region. This has generated a turn towards social movement theory (SMT) which has revealed both the limits and possibilities of SMT when applied to different sites of the Arab world (Akder 2013, Durac 2015, Tadros 2011). While the dominant focus has b
Background of the study One of the main challenges in tourism research is to find effective methodologies to capture the salient moments that make a tourist experience memorable (Cary, 2004; Tussyadiah, 2014). A gap exists between the tourist experience – which happens at a destination, during the time of the trip – and the recollection of it during the study – which often happens days, weeks or m
Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate determinants for the prognosis of asthma in a population-based cohort of young adults. Design: The study was a nine-year clinical follow up of 239 asthmatic subjects from an enriched population-based sample of 1,191 young adults, aged 20-44 years, who participated in an interviewer-administered questionnaire and clinical examination at baseline in 20
The topic of this thesis is dynamics and wear of structures. In the six appended papers different aspects of wear and dynamics of a model system are studied. The considered system consists of a long slender rod with unilateral supports, subject to harmonic and stochastic excitation. The rod is held at one end with stiff springs preventing translation and rotation and constrained by loose sup
The interest in diffusion imaging with nuclear magnetic resonance techniques has increased during the last few years. The main reason is the possibility of early diagnosis of acute ischaemic stroke, at a time when conventional MR techniques and computerised tomography fail. The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate methods for the measurement of water self-diffusion in vivo usin
Today, digital circuits are part of every ones daily life in form of mobile phones, computers, television, smart cards etc. The advent of new technologies such as internet of things, 5G etc. are continuously making the digital circuits more and more complex in design. With this increase in complexity comes the possibility of more bugs in the system. Finding and fixing these bugs is of paramount im
As a major step to development, countries try to implement e-government and encouraging the public to use e-services instead of traditional ways. It is obvious that adoption of e-government has increased in many countries over the world, but the rate of adoption varies from country to country, and also the factors which are affecting the adoption of e-government differ from developing countries to
Den här uppsatsen behandlar begreppet konkurrenspåverkan av konkurrensbegränsande samarbete såsom det regleras i Sherman Act Section 1 och Artikel 101 FEUF. Regleringarna utgör hörnstenar i respektive lands konkurrensrätter. I USA tillämpar domstolar en skälighetsprincip, the rule of reason, under vilken samarbete som resulterar i en negativ konkurrenspåverkan anses oförenligt med Sherman Act SectThis essay concerns the notion of competitive effect of trade restrictive agreements as regulated in the Sherman Act Section 1 and Article 101 TFEU. The provisions on trade restrictive agreements constitute an important part of competition law in the US and the EU. In the US, the Sherman Act Section 1 condemns trade restrictive agreements under a standard of reason, called the rule of reason. The
Drönare är obemannade luftfartyg som vanligtvis fjärrstyrs från marken. Från att ursprungligen ha brukats i militär verksamhet har drönare de senaste åren börjat spridas till civila näringsverksamheter, t.ex. inspektion av fastigheter. Genom HFD 2016 ref. 71 I fastställde Högsta förvaltningsdomstolen att kameror monterade på drönare är övervakningskameror, och därför är tillståndspliktiga enligt kDrones are unmanned aerial vehicles that are controlled from the ground. From having been used at first solely for military purposes, they have spread to civil businesses over the last few years, for example to help at property inspections. Through HFD 2016 ref. 71 I it was decided that cameras mounted on drones are considered as surveillance cameras and require permits according to the camera sur
Sammanfattning Enligt svensk rätt krävs det att parterna till en transaktion har vidtagit ett sakrättsligt moment för att en förvärvare av lös egendom ska vara skyddad mot överlåtarens borgenärer. Vilket sakrättsligt moment som uppställs varierar beroende på vilken typ av egendom som transaktionen rör. Vid förvärv av lösöre vinner köparen som huvudregel skydd mot säljarens borgenärer först när vaSummary Swedish law requires that the parties to a transaction have fulfilled a controllable measure in order for a buyer of movable property to obtain protection against the seller’s creditors. What kind of controllable measure that needs to be carried out varies depending on what type of property the transaction concerns. When the purchase concerns chattels the main rule is that the buyer recei
