Five hundred and sixty-one managers in Central and Eastern Europe were asked how much they relied on each of eight sources of quidance in handling eight relatively routine work events. A previous study indicated particularly strong reliance on one's own experience and training in the Czech Republic and Hungary. Managers from Poland and Slovakia relied more on superiors, while in Romania and Bulgar
Process parameter optimization for the supercritical CO2 extraction of rye bran to obtain alkylresorcinols (AR) was studied by carrying out a two-level fractional design experiment. Four parameters, temperature, CO2 flow rate, cosolvent percentage, and extraction time, presumed to influence the extraction process, were analyzed. A tentative fractionation of the crude extract was also carried out a
Dementia diagnosis is important for many different reasons. Firstly, to separate dementia, or major neurocognitive disorder, from MCI (mild cognitive impairment), mild neurocognitive disorder. Secondly, to define the specific underlying brain disorder to aid treatment, prognosis and decisions regarding care needs and assistance. The diagnostic method of dementias is a puzzle of different data piec
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling ger ett bidrag till teorin om strategisäkra kollektiva beslut. I denna teori undersöks under vilka förutsättningar det är möjligt att konstruera omröstningsprocedurer (hädanefter kallade för kollektiva valfunktioner) som är strategisäkra i den bemärkelsen att ingen väljare kan ändra utfallet av en omröstning till sin fördel genom att inte rösta enligt sThis thesis makes a contribution to strategy-proof social choice theory, in which one investigates the conditions under which it is possible to construct social choice functions (i.e., voting procedures) that can never be manipulated in the sense that some voter, by misrepresentation of his true preferences, can change the outcome of a voting and obtain an alternative he prefers to the one that ho
The aim of this article is to propose a method for creating a more coherent concept of norms – and to deliver a tentative and open suggestion on how to define norms in a way that might fit into the context of Sociology of Law (further on shortened, SoL). The idea is that the norm concept can be chiselled out through ontological analysis, and that this analysis can be conducted in a way that allow
Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore nurses' experience of strain in dementia care. Method: Focus groups were held with 35 nurses in Sweden, Australia and UK, who care for people with dementia. The discussions were tape-recorded and analysed using qualitative content analysis. Results: The nurses described the complexity of their situation and referred to environmental factors such as
In prediction (Wiener-, Kalman-) of a random normal process $\{X(t), t \in R\}$ it is normally required that the time $t_0$ from which prediction is made does not depend on the values of the process. If prediction is made only from time points at which the process takes a certain value $u,$ given a priori, ("prediction under panic"), the Wiener-prediction is not necessarily optimal; optimal should
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen består av tre essäer som behandlar effekterna av inkomplett information i de finansiella marknaderna. Av dessa essäer är två teoretiska och en är huvudsakligen empirisk. Samtliga essäer undersöker effekterna av parameterosäkerhet, och de använder sig av kontinuerliga modeller. Den första essän, "The Effect of Information Quality on Optimal Portfolio ChoiceThis thesis consists of three essays on incomplete information in financial markets, two of which are theoretical, and one that is mainly of an empirical nature. All three essays concern parameter uncertainty, and they employ a continuous-time framework. The first essay, "The Effect of Information Quality on Optimal Portfolio Choice," analyzes the portfolio choices made by three types of agents,
The combination of quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics (QM/MM) is one of the most promising approaches to study the structure, function, and properties of proteins. We here review our applications of QM/MM methods to alcohol dehydrogenase, blue copper proteins, iron–sulphur clusters, ferrochelatase, and myoglobin. We also describe our new quantum refinement method, which is a combination of
Enligt AB 04 kap. 6 § 10 p. 1 åläggs entreprenören att utföra sitt arbete på ett sådant sätt att beställaren erhåller både bästa tekniska resultat och bästa ekonomiska resultat. I praktiken är dessa två resultat ofta svåra att förena, då de sällan korrelerar. Ytterligare komplexitet tillförs genom entreprenörens incitament att maximera sin vinst. Eftersom entreprenörens arvode ofta beräknas som et
This study aims to analyze how genre conventions of celebrity journalism shift when taken to a new platform with new limitations, possibilities and media logics. Hänt, a Swedish newspaper covering entertainment and celebrity news, regularly produces material for the video based platform Tiktok. These videos, studied through qualitative content analysis and with theories regarding genre, celebrity
Mobile devices have expanded and increased flexibility in communication, but at the same time, they can disrupt presence and create distance and isolation between people. With the help of a qualitative interview study, the purpose of this study is to examine how mobile devices can impact communication and relationships within a family in various ways, based on the perspectives and experiences of y
Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka gällande rätt avseende förutsättningarna för förvaltningsbesluts verkställbarhet och att fokusera på betydelsen av att beslut vinner laga kraft. Uppsatsen berör även utvecklingen på området och de lege ferenda. Innebörden av att ett förvaltningsbeslut blir verkställbart är inte enbart att beslutet kan eller ska verkställas med hjälp av en myndighet. I begreppet inThe purpose of the thesis is to examine the law in regard to the conditions of enforceability of decisions in administrative law and, in particular, the significance of legal force. The thesis also deals with the development of relevant legal matter and de lege ferenda. The enforceability of a decision in administrative law does not only mean that it may or shall be enforced by an authority. It al
Purpose –The documenting and administration of society is becoming increasingly digital. In analogue preservation the archival material´s physical properties is instrumental in determining authenticity. Digital material on the other hand, is more dependent on intellectual control and metadata in order to maintain authenticity. It is the aim of this thesis to examine in which ways this digital auth
