Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka om upplevelsen av olika dimensionerna av bemanningsbranschens flexibla arbetsmiljö var relaterade till organisatoriskt engagemang och inre motivation. Vidare var syftet att studera relationen mellan organisatoriskt engagemang och inre motivation samt vilka dimensioner som starkast predicerar dessa.

Furthermore, the aim was to study the relationship between organizational commitment and internal motivation and which of the eight dimensions that most strongly predicts them. An online

Rent dricksvatten är det viktigaste och mest grundläggande livsmedlet som finns. Detta livsmedel tas ofta för givet och många är omedvetna om att det inom vissa områden även i Sverige finns problem med att hitta bra vattenresurser för dricksvattenproduktion. Detta examensarbete utgör en kartläggning, beskrivning och analys av Kalmar läns regionalt viktiga vattenresurser. Arbetet är en fortsättning

Misaligned strategies that are developed within different units in a company is unfortunately a common occurrence. Generally, operations strategy and marketing strategy are difficult to align; the operations unit and the sales unit often have troubles understanding each other. If adding a capacity planning perspective to this issue, it is obvious that the two units need a full understanding for ea

Background: Five workers from an industry manufacturing various articles from carbon fibre reinforced epoxy plastics were referred to our department because of suspected occupational allergic contact dermatitis (OACD). When patch tested, four of them had positive reactions to components of epoxy resin systems (ERSs) that could explain their current skin problems. All of them had been working at th

Background: Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is restricted to the skin, mostly the face, often chronic and disfiguring. Standard medical therapies include topical corticosteroids and antimalarials. This is a retrospective long-term follow-up of refractory DLE treated with different lasers and intense pulsed light (IPL). Methods and materials : Sixteen patients with histologically confirmed DLE pa

Reduced insulin release has been linked to defect exocytosis in β-cells. However, whether expression of genes suggested to be involved in the exocytotic process (exocytotic genes) is altered in pancreatic islets from patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D), and correlate to insulin secretion, needs to be further investigated. Analysing expression levels of 23 exocytotic genes using microarray revealed

Little is known about the nature of post mortem degradation of proteins and peptides on a global level, the so-called degradome. This is especially true for non-neural tissues. Degradome properties in relation to sampling procedures on different tissues are of great importance for the studies of for instance post translational modifications and/or the establishment of clinical biobanks. Here, snap

Background. R-Limonene is a common fragrance terpene found in domestic and industrial products. R-Limonene autoxidizes on air exposure, and the oxidation products can cause contact allergy. In a recent multicentre study, 5.2% (range 2.3-12.1%) of 2900 patients showed a positive patch test reaction to oxidized R-limonene. Objective. To study the exposure to limonene among consecutive dermatitis pat

Background: So far there are no studies comparing the attitudes of patients with hereditary conditions to the attitudes of the general public on how to handle genetic risk information which mutation carriers refuse to disclose to relevant family members. The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether such patients and members of the general public want to be informed about the existen

The incidence of type 1 diabetes (T1D) is increasing, either because of environmental factors accelerating onset of the disease or because of inducement of autoimmune diabetes in children who previously were at lower risk. High levels of immunoglobulin (Ig), specifically, IgM and IgA, and a low level of IgG were reported in adult patients; however no studies have analyzed the increasing incidence

Neighborhood characteristics have been associated with both depression and diabetes, but to date little attention has been paid to whether the association between depression and diabetes varies across different types of neighborhoods. This prospective study examined the relationship between depression, neighborhood deprivation, and risk of type 2 diabetes among 336,340 adults from a national-repre

Given the anthropometric differences between men and women and previous evidence of sex-difference in genetic effects, we conducted a genome-wide search for sexually dimorphic associations with height, weight, body mass index, waist circumference, hip circumference, and waist-to-hip-ratio (133,723 individuals) and took forward 348 SNPs into follow-up (additional 137,052 individuals) in a total of

A strict division between the formal economy and the informal economy cannot be made and every economic actor has in certain situations a propensity to engage in informal economic activities. The formal, as well as informal economy may lead to economic growth which is essential for a broad welfare policy, under which social benefits are categorized. A person's economic contribution to a state shou
