The aim of this study is to examine how students perceive and value their prior merits. We will also study whether there is a discrepancy in how employers and applicants perceive and value their images and representations of applicants prior merits. In addition we will try to suggest that discrepancy may harm the possibility to carry out a successful recruiting; in that effect incongruity may lead
Abstract In this study I have sought to understand the conditions for knowledge and objectivity in family assessment-work. I have used a philosophical theory to reach understanding of what possibilities and obstacles there are for an assessor in trying to reach knowledge about, and to be objective in, working with child and family-assessment. To fulfill my purpose I have made one group- and one s
The purpose was to investigate "adult foster childrens" view on their childhood and how it may have been influencing their adulthood. The importance of relationships were mostly in focus in the essay. The method was qualitative deepinterviews with three adult foster children between 30-42 years of age. Important themequestions was about: origin family, the time in foster home, relations
This study deals with rights for the good care of the elderly in the municipalities of Scania. The study is meant to give deeper knowledge of citizen's charters for care, why such charters have been given and if they can be used to secure the quality of the care of the elderly today and in the future. To put these citizen's charters in a context I have chosen to study how the state after v
We wanted to examine children's views on families and traditions surrounding family formation. Our main questions were; What are children's views on the concept "family" and how does this compare to the different definitions of family? How traditional or modern are children in comparison with historical and present views? and What are the effects of their own experiences, and val
Though there is a very large literature examining whether energy use Granger causes economic output or vice versa this literature is fairly inconclusive. Almost all existing studies use relatively short time series or panels with a relatively small time dimension. Additionally, many recent papers continue to use what seem to be misspecified models. We apply Granger causality and cointegration tech
Purpose of this paper The purpose of this paper is to propose a framework for describing and analyzing misalignments in supply chain management, which relate to changes in supply chain structures, processes, and management components. Design/methodology/approach Based on the systems approach, a single-case study with embedded design including several embedded cases from the same supply chain was
Popular Abstract in English Knowledge can be many things; it can be metaphysical, enhancing the understanding of human beings and social relations. It can be hard facts, information, structure and ordering of nature. Knowledge can be inherent in the knowing subject – the emancipated subject, or it can exist as an entity independent of its founder. An apposite metaphor is knowledge as an end in its
Few genome-wide association studies (GWAS) account for environmental exposures, like smoking, potentially impacting the overall trait variance when investigating the genetic contribution to obesity-related traits. Here, we use GWAS data from 51,080 current smokers and 190,178 nonsmokers (87% European descent) to identify loci influencing BMI and central adiposity, measured as waist circumference a
A supercritical fluid extraction methodology was used to extract flavoring and bioactive compounds from truffles. Some parameters such as CO2 flow rate (1–3 mg/mL), extraction time (15–90 min) and different trapping food matrices (grape seed oil, gelatin, agar agar and water) were optimized using response surface methodology to enhance extraction and trapping yields. The optimal conditions (2.27 m
This article focuses on explaining management control under post-new public management (NPM). Drawing on the lessons from a case study, the article aims to advance the discussion of what post-NPM, as a new governance innovation, is and what problems practitioners encounter when they try to engage in post-NPM–oriented governance. The study reports the transformation of both management and control a
