In recent years, business process management (BPM) is a vital methodology or strategy to drive business management agilely. It is an approach that can make the organization achieve effectiveness and efficiencies through creating and ameliorating its business processes according to its business strategies, objectives, and requirements. There is no doubt that dynamic and flexible business processes
China’s opening of reform in 1979 started the transition to a social market economy in 1992 and its accession to the WTO in 2001 are seen are pivotal moments in China’s recent history when assessing its economic growth and investment climate in the last 30 + years. Some theorists (Kokko 1994; Cave 1974) propose the positive spillover effects of FDI however its merits have been called into question
The purpose of this study was to gain knowledge about and to understand the difference between the two genders as regards well-being and subjective health among unemployed immigrants, living in Sweden. The central aspect that is studied is, how family and social relations on the one hand, and the relation to the labour market on the other, influence immigrants and how they manage their situation.
Access to a quiet side in one's dwelling is thought to compensate for higher noise levels at the most exposed façade. It has also been indicated that noise from combined traffic sources causes more noise annoyance than equal average levels from either road traffic or railway noise separately.
Finland’s social security spending has been increasing rapidly over the past four decades, and is expected to continue increasing in the decades to come. The increase has been largely driven by population ageing resulting in increased old-age spending. Finland’s social security system is however more than just old-age social security; which warrants a more detailed analysis of the different types
Uppsatsen handlar om det allmännas ansvar när myndigheter på olika sätt lämnar upplysningar och råd till enskilda. Historiskt har ett skadeståndsansvar för det allmännas offentliga verksamhet ansetts strida mot statssuveräniteten och principen ”the king can do no wrong”. Det var inte förrän vid skadeståndslagens (SkL) tillkomst år 1972 som det infördes ett ansvar när det allmänna orsakar skada i sThis thesis is about the Swedish public bodies liability when they provide information and advice to individuals. Historically, liability for negligent exercise of public authority has been considered to be contrary to public sovereignty and the principle 'the king can do no wrong'. It was not until the creation of the Tort Liability Act (TLA) in 1972 that a liability when public bodies ca
Undersökning och hantering av arsenikförorenade brunnar i Nicaragua Arsenik förorenar dricksvatten i Nicaragua och framkallar cancer. Lösningen är enkel: sand, tegelstenar och järnspikar. Varje år dör hundratusentals människor till följd av arsenikförorenat dricksvatten. Världshälsoorganisationen WHO listar arsenik på topp-tio-listan över de kemikalier i världen som hotar människors hälsa mest. The awareness of problems concerning arsenic contaminated drinking water sources has during recent years increased. WHO (World Health Organization) decided in 1993 to lower the recommended limit of arsenic in drinking water from 50 μg/l to 10 μg/l, mainly due to observations of its carcinogenicity. New places where the WHO limit for arsenic is exceeded are constantly discovered all over the world.

Detta working-paper kom till efter att företrädare inom Individ och familjeomsorgen i Hässleholms kommun ville effektutvärdera sin familjeverksamhet. Ett samarbete påbörjades mellan Socialhögskolan och Familjebehandlingsenheten i Hässleholm.Papret är ett försök att genom föra små effektstudier i hög vetenskaplig design. Det finns flera små behandlingsenheter inom socialförvaltningar runt om i Sver

In order to understand species’ sensitivity to habitat change, we must correctly determine if a species is associated with a habitat or not, and if it is associated, its degree of specialization for that habitat. However, definitions of species’ habitat association and specialization are often static, categorical classifications that coarsely define species as either habitat specialists or general
Around fifteen thousand fieldworkers annually count breeding birds using standardized protocols in 28 European countries. The observations are collected by using country-specific and standardized protocols, validated, summarized and finally used for the production of continent-wide annual and long-term indices of population size changes of 170 species. Here, we present the database and provide a d
Urbanization is gaining force globally, which challenges biodiversity, and it has recently also emerged as an agent of evolutionary change. Seasonal phenology and life cycle regulation are essential processes that urbanization is likely to alter through both the urban heat island effect (UHI) and artificial light at night (ALAN). However, how UHI and ALAN affect the evolution of seasonal adaptatio
We present the results of the Swedish Bird Survey, run by the Department of Biology, Lund University, as a part of the National Monitoring Programme of the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. The results for 2019 include data from: 575 winter point counts in 2018/2019 (44th winter), of which 285 were carried out during the Christmas/New Year count, 210 summer point count routes (45th year) an
Climate change is pushing species ranges and abundances towards the poles and mountain tops. Although many studies have documented local altitudinal shifts, knowledge of general patterns at a large spatial scale, such as a whole mountain range, is scarce. From a conservation perspective, studying altitudinal shifts in wildlife is relevant because mountain regions often represent biodiversity hotsp

Ethics is increasingly recognized as one of several important dimensions of performance. Yet, performance audit, or value-for-money audit, as conducted by supreme audit institutions (SAIs), does not typically include this dimension. Instead, the focus is on the classical ‘three Es’ (efficiency, economy and effectiveness). The reluctance to address issues of ethical misconduct has taken the audit p
