This report contains a summarised description of the experimental design, results and implications of separately pub¬lished analyses. The aim of the investigation has been to study the effects of traditional tutoring and self-confrontation via CCTV and video-recording on student teachers' self-assessment In addition, the report contains recommenda¬tions for further research and for further analyse

Many of society’s critical infrastructures, such as power supply, telecommunications, and transportation, have become increasingly interconnected. While this gives rise to increased efficiency, tighter connections also invites increased vulnerability and the risks of cascading failures. Moreover, at the same time as many of these vital systems have become increasingly dependent on one another, the

Popular Abstract in Swedish Att opereras via titthålskirurgi eller öppen kirurgi med en operationsteknik som förhindrar sura uppstötningar och halsbränna - en slumpmässig jämförande studie från ett patientperspektiv Utdrag ur avhandlingen Laparoscopic or open surgery - A comparative study with special reference to the patient's perspective av Gunilla Nilsson Vad är problemet? Gastroesofageal reThe overall aim of this thesis was to compare the effects of laparoscopic versus open antireflux surgery in a randomized clinical trial focusing the patients' subjective and objective outcome postoperatively, from a short-term and a long-term perspective. A further aim was to describe GORD patients' experiences of illness and surgical treatment and if possible to find striking characteristics rela

En analys av kvinnors arbete på begravningsbyråer visar att de skillnader i arbetsuppgifter som finns beror på vilken övergripande strategi begravningsbyrån har. På byråer med "specialiseringens strategi" där uppgifterna fördelas enligt principen den som utför den bäst ska göra den, finns kvinnor och de utför vissa uppgifter, framför allt möter anhöriga. På byråer med "kontinuitetens strategi" där

This book is a linguistic study of Jahai, a language belonging to the Northern Aslian subgroup of the Aslian branch of the Mon-Khmer language family. The language is spoken by groups of foragers in the mountain rainforests of northern Peninsular Malaysia and southernmost Thailand, its total number of speakers estimated at around 1,000. This study describes the grammar of Jahai, including its phono

Abstract in Chinese 作为以案例为基础的比较研究，《全球化、创新变迁与创新政策：以欧洲和亚洲10个国家（地区）为例》为我们展现了10个经济体（丹麦、芬兰、中国香港、爱尔兰、荷兰、挪威、新加坡、韩国、瑞典和中国台湾）创新系统的真实面貌；同时，对创新系统研究领域需要进一步澄清的基础理论问题进行了深入探讨和分析。《全球化、创新变迁与创新政策：以欧洲和亚洲10个国家（地区）为例》共12章，第1章着重讨论创新系统比较研究的基本理论与研究框架；第2章～第11章详细介绍了各国和地区案例；第12章讨论了全球化背景下各经济体面临的挑战与采取的创新政策。《全球化、创新变迁与创新政策：以欧洲和亚洲10个国家（地区）为例》不仅为评价和分析国家（地区）创新系统提供了一个非常意义的思路和方法，而且有助于相关领域研究人员和政策制定者深化对创新系统理论的理解，尤其为我们当前深化科技体制改革、加快创新系统

Popular Abstract in Swedish Ugandas regering har strävat efter att skapa en behovsbaserad och kostnadseffektiv hälso- och sjukvård på två olika sätt: hälsosektorn har decentraliserats för att öka ansvarstagande och medverkan på lägre nivåer. Kompetens har byggts upp för att kunna utveckla en nationell policy, och därigenom kunna bedöma sjukvårdsbehov och för att göra kostnadseffektiva prioriteringThe Ugandan Government has aimed at creating a needs-based and cost-effective health care system. The means to carry out this aim have been 1) a decentralization of the health sector in order to increase lower-level responsibility, accountability, and participation, and 2) a strong national policy formulation capacity, facilitating needs assessment and cost-effective prioritization. Aim The aim

Popular Abstract in Swedish Här studeras ledarskap ur ett ledningsstilsperspektiv, ett modellperspektiv och ett självinsiktsperspektiv. Den rollorienterade modellen beaktar olika ledarbeteenden som formar olika ledningsstilar och olika kommunikationssätt som i sin tur formar olika kommunikationsstilar. Den rollorienterade modellen beskrivs och undersöks med ett instrument som kallas FLIS och som rThe purpose of this study is threefold. Firstly it is to explore a style-oriented model for leadership which has proven to be valid empirically. Secondly the purpose is to study if there are any differences between the way managers view themselves compared to how their co-workers view them. Thirdly, the purpose of the study is to explore if the so called classical two-factor model of leadership, e

The construction and demonstration of a conductometric chemical sensor based on a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) is reported. Benzyltriphenylphosphonium ions, chosen as a model, were used as the analyte. The MIP based sensors gave, when exposed to the analyte, a significantly higher conductivity reading than the reference sensors. Furthermore, the use of molecularly imprinted polymers as arti

Although it is generally anticipated that innovation as such leads to regional prosperity (Asheim et al. 2011) there is lack of empirical evidence that confirms the direct linkage between the innovation capabilities of regions and welfare increase. It is suggested that entrepreneurship can be seen as a missing link that helps to transfer innovations into business outcomes (Braun et al. 2012). The

Knowledge may be treated analogous to evolutionary processes. This view of knowledge has certain advantages compared to more traditional views. In particular, it allows the knowledge to be extended without the involvement of a separate agent. This means, in turn, that the problem of knowledge acquisition, known as Meno’s dilemma, is avoided. The purpose of this paper is to discuss how an evolution

A paradigm shift is emerging in universities especially regarding how personalized and collaborative mobile learning should be addressed. Recently three international benchmarking projects on quality of e-learning in higher education have been carried out by Lund University in Sweden. These showed that quality has to be valued from a holistic perspective and to a higher extent from learning dimens
