ABSTRACT An organization that for the most part has routines that are defined and managed as projects and where the projects are carried out parallel to each other is called a multi-project organization. In such an organization, the projects can be unique or recurrent, large or small and organized in different ways, but in common for these organizations are that the projects are many, that they in
Breast cancer is the most common cancer type among women. The 5-year survival rate for invasive breast cancer is generally good at approximately 80-85%, however it is not uncommon for late recurrences to develop – the relative survival at 15 years is approximately 60%, in contrast to for example uterine cancer where the 5-year is about 80% and very few late deaths occur (80% survival at 15-years).
Alltmedan produktionen av textiler kommit att öka under de senaste åren har dess miljöpåverkan blivit mer uppenbar. Eftersom dagens textilproduktion har negativa konsekvenser under produktion, användande, såväl som vid avfallshantering, så finns det ett behov av att hitta effektiva metoder för att ta tillvara på de resurser som investerats under produktionen. Idag förbränns eller deponeras textilaAs the production of textiles has increased over the years, the climate impact of the textile industry is becoming more evident. Textile production can have negative impacts on the environment, both during production, use and disposal, which calls for efficient recycling methods to recover some of the resources invested. However, textile waste is primarily incinerated or landfilled, which pose as
Våldsbejakande extremism har under de senaste åren seglat upp som ett allt ökande fenomen och ett växande samhällsproblem i Sverige. I kölvattnet av detta uppstår ett flertal frågor om hur fenomenet kan hanteras i rättsligt avseende. Den våldsbejakande extremismen utmanar och hotar demokratin på flera sätt och är ett allvarligt problem för den enskilde som involveras och för samhället i stort. ForViolent extremism has become a more common phenomenon in Sweden during recent years and is a growing problem in society. Violent extremism is a significant and serious threat to democracy and challenges its principles in many ways. Consequently, the legal aspects related to the threat of violent extremism need to be urgently clarified and, if needed, strengthened to both protect democracy while ma
A number of global megatrends, such as self-driving technology, elec- trification of vehicles, ICT, CSR and a lot of other social and political trends are currently impacting the Swedish truck freight system. Identi- fications of these trends and preparedness for the potential impact they will have on the future truck freight system will be paramount for both incumbents and new actors in this system
Kommunalt självstyre utgör en fundamental grund för statsskicket, och lyfts tillsammans med parlamentarismen fram som det svenska folkstyrets grundpelare i 1 kap. 1 § RF. Denna uppsats övergripande syfte är att beskriva och analysera principen om det kommunala självstyret så som den kommer till uttryck i grundlag och i lagstiftning som ålägger kommunerna olika uppgifter (kommunernas obligatoriskaThe principle of local self-government (swe. kommunalt självstyre) is a fundamental basis in the organization of the Swedish state, and is pointed out along with parliamentarism as one of the cornerstones of Swedish democracy in 1 Ch. 1 § The Instrument of Government Act (regeringsformen). This essay's overall purpose is to describe and analyze the principle of municipal self-government as it
OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether application of insulation wool adversely affects lung volumes and increases the occurrence of symptoms of airway irritation. METHODS: Data from nationwide health check ups in 1981-93 of male construction workers born in 1955 or later were used to investigate cross sectional (n = 96,004) and longitudinal (n = 26,298) associations between lung volumes, vital capaci
A recent nonrandomized pilot trial showed that hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients with genotype 2/3 and rapid virological response (RVR) had a 90% sustained virological response (SVR) rate after 14 weeks of treatment. We aimed to assess this concept in a randomized controlled trial. In the trial, 428 treatment-naive HCV RNA-positive patients with genotype 2 or 3 were enrolled. Patients with RVR were
Background: Induced resistance (IR) can be part of a sustainable plant protection strategy against important plant diseases. beta-aminobutyric acid (BABA) can induce resistance in a wide range of plants against several types of pathogens, including potato infected with Phytophthora infestans. However, the molecular mechanisms behind this are unclear and seem to be dependent on the system studied.
To be able to robustly propagate P. falciparum at optimal conditions in vitro is of fundamental importance for genotypic and phenotypic studies of both established and fresh clinical isolates. Cryo-preserved P. falciparum isolates from Ugandan children with severe or uncomplicated malaria were investigated for parasite phenotypes under different in vitro growth conditions or studied directly from
The business potential of software defined radio (SDR) technology is studied by evaluating whether or not its characteristics correspond to those particular to a disruptive technology. The maturity of the SDR technology concept is illuminated by analyzing the opinions and perspectives of a selection of representatives for different stakeholders in the wireless communications market. Characteristic
Background: Carry Life UF is a novel peritoneal dialysis (PD) technology for improved fluid management using steady concentration PD (SCPD). The Carry Life UF treatment starts with a manual peritoneal fill of 1.36% glucose PD fluid, followed by a 5-hour treatment where small amounts of glucose are continuously added to maintain a stable intraperitoneal glucose concentration. A recent in-center cli
BACKGROUND: Arsenic methylation efficiency, a susceptibility factor for arsenic toxicity, is in adults partly explained by variation in arsenite methyltransferase (AS3MT) gene. Little is known about the role of AS3MT for children's arsenic methylation.OBJECTIVES: Evaluating associations between AS3MT polymorphisms and children's arsenic methylation efficiency.METHODS: Bangladeshi children's arseni
Innovation in retailing is under-investigated in academia and yet highly relevant in practice given the current changes in the retail landscape. Although retailing is often characterised by a dynamic and highly competitive environment, retail organizations are not often considered as “innovative,” at least when compared with manufacturing industries or when using existing innovation frameworks in
Det terrestra ekosystemet absorberar cirka en tredjedel av de antropogena utsläppen varje år, vilket är en avgörande ekosystemtjänst som minskar ökningstakten av atmosfärisk koldioxid och bidrar till att mildra klimatförändringen. Observerade koncentrationer av atmosfäriskt koldioxid uppvisar en stor årlig variabilitet som främst anses vara orsakad av det terrestra ekosystemets respons på klimatfö
BACKGROUND AND AIMS:: Celiac disease is associated with tissue transglutaminase autoantibodies (tTGAb) and the human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-risk alleles DQB1*02 and DQB1*0302. The aim was to estimate the proportion of undiagnosed celiac disease in children with HLA risk at 3 years of age. PATIENTS AND METHODS:: From a population-based HLA-DQ screening study of newborns born between June 2001 and
