A compilation of the applied experimental conditions when studying metal ion adsorption onto kraft fibres, and the resulting conclusion, revealed that the ionic strength conditions used during the experiments were an important dividing factor. At low ionic strengths, the conclusion has regularly been that the Donnan ion-exchange model could correctly predict the adsorption while, at higher ionic s
BACKGROUND: The association of early knee joint laxity with the need for later reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament has not been extensively studied. HYPOTHESIS: The grade of knee laxity can be used as an early predictor of the need for later reconstruction. STUDY DESIGN: Cohort study (prognosis); Level of evidence, 2. METHODS: One hundred consecutive patients with an acute arthroscopi
Landing from a jump is related to predictive sensorimotor control. Frontal, central and parietal brain areas are known to play a role in this process based on online sensory feedback. This can be measured by EEG. However, there is only limited knowledge about brain activity during predictive preparation for drop landings (DL). The purpose is to demonstrate changes in brain activity in preparation
Objectives: Within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study, the performance of 24-h dietary recall (24-HDR) measurements as reference measurements in a linear regression calibration model is evaluated critically at the individual (within-centre) and aggregate (between-centre) levels by using unbiased estimates of urinary measurements of nitrogen and potassium
BACKGROUND: The occurrence of osteoarthritis (OA), associated meniscal injuries, meniscectomy, and patient-related measures for patients treated nonoperatively after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries have not been well described in the literature in terms of natural history. HYPOTHESIS: Patients with ACL injury can achieve a low occurrence of tibiofemoral OA and good knee function when tre
A search for the direct production of charginos and neutralinos in final states with three electrons or muons and missing transverse momentum is presented. The analysis is based on 4.7 fb(-1) of root s = 7 TeV proton-proton collision data delivered by the Large Hadron Collider and recorded with the ATLAS detector. Observations are consistent with Standard Model expectations in three signal regions
The formation of industry standards for environmental issues and corporate social responsibility is gaining acceptance but the number of successfully implemented programs are few. On an individual level companies have for some time applied company standards or codes of conduct. But on a collective level cooperation seems much more difficult. Although from an economic point of view there are clear
This thesis is inspired by the recent development within the Community concerning the standing of private parties to claims damages for harm caused by a breach of the EC antitrust rules. The European Court of Justice (ECJ) declared, in the cases of Courage and Manfredi, that this is a right deriving from the Treaty. In the wake of this change, the Commission has issued a Green Paper followed by a
In recent years, Sweden has seen an increase in archaeological investigations regarding subaltern settlements from the recent past. This chapter advocates using a triangulation approach with written documents, historical maps, and archaeological data as a preferred method for investigating rural subalterns. This approach enables archaeology to play a significant role in uncovering subaltern multi-
Problemformulering: I och med avregleringen av elmarknaden konkurrensutsattes elleverantörernas verksamhet. Priserna pressades och elleverantörerna började ägna sig åt kringtjänster för att anpassa sig till marknaden. För att förbli kundernas val samt för att locka till sig nya kunder tvingas företagen att bevisa sin lämplighet som leverantör, vilket är svårt på en mogen marknad med en homogen kär
Studies indicate that organizations are having problems to deliver IT services that correspond with the business processes. These problems are mainly a result of misalignments between business- and IT processes where IT processes have to be centralized, instead of separated from organizations. In this study we address the issue of misalignments between business- and IT processes by describing how
På vilka värderingar och grundläggande teorier baserar sig vårt rättsystem och vad är lagens bindande kraft? Hur kan dessa teorier förklara klyftan mellan moraliska regler och lagregler? Denna uppsats består av tre delar. De två första delarna [Kap. 2 och 3] är mer deskriptiva och består dels av ett kapitel om illegal fildelning, dels av en analys av skandinavisk rättsrealism, framför allt VilhelThe general moral attitude is, to consider copyright infringements on the Internet as a socially acceptable behaviour. While the record industry and judicial system have both monetary and other reasons to fight illegal file sharing, both the technological and the moral development are combating these efforts. The legal realism as represented by Vilhelm Lundstedt is based on the idea that the lega
Att sätta personalen i fokus en modell om att möjliggöra för medarbetare– En fallstudie av Svenska Mässan
Today’s modern societies are becoming increasingly dependent on the vital societal functions that technical critical infrastructures provide, for example availability of electricity, tap water and internet connectivity. Hence, it is of essence that these infrastructures are resilient to interruptions. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and contrast resilience levels of different types of
A sports video analysis application was developed by Spiideo for mobile devices. It presents recordings from practices and competitive games for game-play analysis. Available tools, such as on-screen drawings, require a robust background foreground segmentation. The currently used segmentation method have difficulties to master the shifting conditions in weather, shadows and shirt colors. The pu
Purpose: There are two research purposes for this paper. The first purpose is to provide a comprehensive overview of the available performance measurement systems. The second purpose is to analyse which performance measurement systems, or a combination of performance measurement systems are the most suitable for multinational professional service firms. Methodology: This paper uses a qualitative
Purpose: The Swedish primary education consists of public and private schools, where a comprehensive voucher system surrounds them. The different types of organizations present the debate of whether the different school management objectives, create an advantage over the other. Henceforth, principals are responsible to implement such management of the schools. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis
