Flertalet artiklar de senaste 15 åren visar på brist på kunskap hos intensivvårdssjuksköterskan samt osäkerhet, splittrade attityder och blandade känslor i vårdandet av organdonatorn. Syfte:

The aim of this text is to create a phenomenological understanding of the public library as place and space. Because there is very little written about this subject through this particular perspective, my paper can be seen as a knowledge- theoretical contribution to library- and information science. Through my exploration I emphasize the idea of the subject as embodied and its importance in unders

Implementations of ERP-systems are very expensive endeavours and are associated with a high risk of failure. However, the rewards of a successful ERP-implementation are bountiful. Successfully implemented ERP-systems increase the efficiency of internal and external processes, interdepartmental communication, integrity of organisational information and competitiveness. To analyse ERP-implementation

Following a 2016 referendum on European Union membership where 51.9% of the British electorate voted to leave, the United Kingdom has decided to exit the EU and will therefore no longer receive regional EU funding. Previous studies on the voting pattern of the referendum have shown that the concentration of the Leave vote tended to be stronger in regions that have struggled economically in recent

Abstract This thesis evaluates associations between the composition of export portfolios and economic growth in African countries south of the Sahara. These countries suffer from underdevelopment and low economic growth partly due to excessive tariffs on primary export products. Increased knowledge regarding the impact of choice of portfolio may help direct African countries towards improved econo

The analytical dimensions of the methodology are based on four key aspects of identity formation - action, narrative, difference and multiple - which are operationalised as methodological tools applied to the spee

This thesis studies the correlation between capital share and income inequality using three different income inequality measures. By performing a panel data regression and estimating Pearson’s r I find that there exists a large and positive correlation between capital share and top income shares. This correlation varies across countries and regions. The correlation was largely positive for Anglo-S

Brott mot äldre är ett allt vanligare ämne i samhällsdebatten, men ändå finns det begränsad kunskap kring vilka typer av brott som är riktade till äldre. Oavsett ålder så blir samhällsmedborgare utsatta för alla typer av brott och det finns egentligen ingen speciell typ av brott som endast drabbar äldre. Däremot finns det tillvägagångssätt hos gärningspersonerna använder sig av speciellt mot äldre
