Lokala företag — en målgrupp för en mer hållbar konsumtion? Det ter sig något självklart att uppmaningen 'Think global, act local' är något Sveriges kommuner kan omfamna. Sverige har ett starkt kommunalt självstyre och stora möjligheter att göra skillnad. Frågan är hur detta kan yttra sig och om det lokala näringslivet kan vara en målgrupp för kommunerna i arbetet? Den här studien åskådli

This study investigates what makes parents of hospitalized children feel secure and factors influencing their level of participation. It also studies, whether the degree to which parents participate affects their child's pain and sleep during hospitalization. Questionnaires were distributed to a series of parents whose children were discharged from two paediatric surgical wards and one paediatric

Noroviruses (formerly Norwalk-like viruses) are a major cause of acute gastroenteritis worldwide and are associated with a significant number of nosocomial and food-borne outbreaks. In this study we show that the human secretor FUT2 gene, which codes for an alpha(1,2)-fucosyltransferase synthesizing the H-type 1 antigen in saliva and mucosa, is associated with susceptibility to norovirus infection

Treatment of type 3 von Willebrand disease (vWD) relies on infusion with plasma-derived factor concentrates containing von Willebrand factor (vWF). Patients with types 1 and 2 vWD who do not respond satisfactorily after receiving desmopressin need treatment with concentrates. The rationale for long-term prophylaxis in vWD is obvious: prophylaxis has been successfully used in hemophilia, and joint

The measurement of ATP as an estimate of microbial biomass C in humus was studied. Three different acid extractants, H2SO4, TCA and H3PO4 were compared, as well as two different buffers, Tris and arsenate. No difference in extraction efficiency was found when the light output was converted to ATP content using internal ATP standards, but the different extraction agents and buffers influenced the l

Partial migration is often considered a transitory stage between migration and residency, and whether partial migrants take weather conditions into account during migration is largely unknown. To assess whether partial migrants differ from regular migrants in their responses to weather, we compared the migratory intensity of a partial migrant, the Blue Tit (Cyanistes caeruleus), with more regular

En ny europeisk studie granskar hur allmänheten i sex länder ser på organtransplantationer och postnatala genetiska test. Det rör sig om Cypern, Österrike, Tyskland, Frankrike och Sverige. I undersökningen framkommer att de tillfrågade personernas funderingar följer två övergripande spår: Här finns å ena sidan tankar om den medicinska utvecklingens potential, å andra sidan reflektioner rörande desRecent developments in the field of biomedicine do not only constitute a challenge for the health care systems of modern societies. They also have a profound impact on the core concepts of individual and collective life. The corresponding changes of individual and collective identities take place within the framework of different historically shaped national conditions and traditions. This leads t

The foggy sky above a white ice-cover and a dark water surface (permanent polynya or temporary lead) is white and dark gray, phenomena called the "ice-sky" and the "water-sky," respectively. Captains of icebreaker ships used to search for not-directly-visible open waters remotely on the basis of the water sky. Animals depending on open waters in the Arctic region may also detect not-directly-visib

Value Based Management (VBM) has become a common tool for evaluating corporate strategies and projects from the perspective of shareholder value maximization, and can be an important input for corporate compensation systems. But traditional VBM frameworks make no systematic effort to distinguish between changes in performance attributable to macroeconomic fluctuations beyond management's control a
