Food high in energy but low in nutritional value is an important contributor to several serious illnesses, and one type of food that is particularly high in energy but low in nutrition is food consumed away from home. In this paper, we examine the demand and willingness to pay for healthy, Keyhole-labelled meals. A Keyhole-labelled meal is particularly low in energy, fat, sugar and salt, but parti
It is essential to label roads, landmarks, and other important features on maps for mobile applications to help users to understand their location and the environment. This paper aims to examine real-time map labelling methods suitable for the small screen on mobile devices. A slider method with a continuous search space was proposed to sequentially label both line and point features. The method s
BACKGROUND: Little work has been done to investigate the suggestion that the use of selected scales from a multi-scale health-status questionnaire would compromise reliability and validity. The aim of this study was to compare the performance of three scales selected from the SF-36 generic health questionnaire when administered in isolation or within the entire SF-36 to patients with musculoskelet
The introduction in 2010 of the Freedom of Choice Act represents one of the most far-reaching reforms of the Swedish health system. While it is mandatory for the regional counties to introduce choice plans for primary care it is voluntary for ambulatory specialist services. The voluntary nature of the regulations for the latter types of care generates a potential gap between the central government
The gain profile of a quantum cascade laser is strongly influenced by the lifetime of the carriers in the upper and lower laser state. The quantitative description of gain within the concept of nonequilibrium Green's functions allows for a detailed understanding of various features affecting the gain spectrum: Compensation effects between scattering processes in the upper and lower laser level, re
Putnam’s seminal work on two-level game theory has been used widely in international negotiation research. The European Union is often argued to be a tough negotiating partner and its complex system of preferences poses a challenge to many of the fundamental assumptions of the two-level game model. The establishment of the European External Action Service (EEAS) in 2011 introduced another core sta
During the 20th century, the world saw humans suffering in many countries around the world. These sufferings ended in genocide and massacres during the 1990s. One way that was identified to end atrocity crimes was humanitarian interventions. A commission, The International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS), was appointed in 2001 to investigate the concept. They presented a n
The world is constantly changing, and business strategies are changing with it. Companies are offering new delivery options and technologies for customers globally when doing purchases. IKEA, a global furniture retailer, is expanding their touchpoints by opening retail stores in city centre locations in order to become more accessible. The ways customers travel in urban areas are more varied incl
The purpose of this thesis is to systematically map the factors and tasks linked to drowning accidents and the rescue services response to drowning accidents that has the most influence on the outcome. To achieve this purpose, two methods have been used, a literature study and an interview study. The literature study aimed to map the current research on drowning and drowning response and to identi

Aim: This qualitative study explores the sexual and reproductive health service provision offered to undocumented Roma women migrating to Finland and traces the major challenges in this regard through the experiences, the perceptions, and the views of Finnish health professionals. Background: Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) of undocumented Roma women is of a particular concern since the lack
In the early 21st century, deflationary trends applied pressure on margins in a range of different industries and subsequently cost reductions were required. Improving efficiency in the supply chain was identified as one of the key sources of potential cost savings. Subsequently, a trend towards slimmer supply chains with less stockkeeping emerged. However, due to the covid-19 pandemic supply chai
Nowadays, one of the most challenging problems in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) is to make robots able to understand humans to successfully accomplish tasks in human environments. HRI has a very different role in all the robotics fields. While autonomous robots do not require a complex HRI system, it is of vital importance for service robots. The goal of this thesis is to study if behavioural pa
The fast food industry is one of the important and growing segments of the overall restaurant industry. At the same time, it is a very dynamic and competitive business where too many vendors are chasing too few clients.To maintain sustainable growth and long-term success it is crucial to meet consumer needs and offer value to them. In order to achieve this, fast food providers must first evaluate

För att personalen ska känna sig betydelsefulla har vi förstått att motivatio
