Det ställs allt högre krav på patientinflytande i hälso- och sjukvården. Även om patientinflytande kan bidra till förbättrad hälsa och lägre kostnader, kan det i andra sammanhang finnas en motsättning mellan enskilda patienters och brukares önskemål om viss behandling och mer prioriterade behov. En lösning som redan används inom vissa vårdområden i vissa landsting är egenavgifter där patienter och

Consumers increasingly demand that brand authenticity means that the brand's values are aligned with the corporation's actions, which are made transparent (Holt 2002). Interrogating Holt's claim that "consumer resistance" is inevitably staged in the marketplace, I suggest that the implications of seeing brand authenticity as linked to trust are related to how the consumer's role on the market is p

En teoretisk och politisk introduktion till ekomarxismen, i synnerhet de bidrag som översätts till boken Ekomarxism: Grundtexter.

The principality of Rügen was a fief under the Danish kings for nearly 200 years. In that time its princes provided valuable assistance in the form of primarily military service. This thesis tells the story of the forgotten principality and how its princes helped shape many of the most important events in Danish medieval history. From the conquest of Estonia, the civil wars of the 1240-60 and the

The production of health economic evaluations of pharmaceuticals is a global, multibillion dollar industry. Despite this fact, little is known about what happens after a health economic evaluation has been produced. Will it be used at all, and if so, how? Who uses economic evaluations and for what purposes? Are there differences in the use patterns between decision makers at macro, meso and micro

Popular Abstract in Swedish Geografisk differentiering och populationshistoria hos Rödblära (Silene dioica) och S. hifacensis: allozym- och kloroplast-DNA variation När man studerar evolution är det viktigt att veta hur mycket genetisk variation det finns inom och mellan individer, populationer och arter. Hur mycket genetisk variation det finns och hur den är fördelad inom en art är viktigt för aIn this thesis I used allozymes and PCR-RFLP analysis of chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) to investigate geographic differentiation within the widespread Silene dioica (L.) Clairv. (Caryophyllaceae) and the narrowly-distributed S. hifacensis Rouy ex Willk., (a Spanish endemic). In an investigation of allozyme variation in Nordic S. dioica, multivariate analysis of variation at eight polymorphic loci reveal

We present a method for solving the previously unstudied problem of localizing a set of receivers and directions from transmitters placed far from the receivers, measuring unsynchronized time of arrival data. The same problem is present in node localization of microphone and antenna arrays. The solution algorithm using 5 receivers and 9 transmitters is extended to the overdetermined case in a stra

Abstract in Undetermined The paper argues that promise rights presuppose independently existing (if not pre-existing) claims. The argument relies on the Bifurcation Thesis, according to which all claims, and all rights, can be exhaustively divided into two categories: capacity based and exercise based.
