It has been proposed that patterns of daily occupations that promote health or cause illness should be possible to identify. By describing patterns as consisting of main, hidden, and unexpected occupations, this study aimed to develop and to evaluate a process for analysing and characterising subjectively perceived patterns of daily occupations. Yesterday diaries describing one day of 100 working

Utifrån varumärkesteorier undersöka vilka konsekvenser H&M´s beslut att lansera sitt nya varumärke COS som ett fristående varumärke utan någon synlig koppling till H&M har haft på konsumenternas uppfattning om varumärkena. Vi dragit slutsatsen att konsumenterna påverkas positivt av H&M´s val att övergå till ett House of Brands och lansera COS som ett fristående varumärke. Den osynliga,

Studiens syfte är att utreda om och i så fall hur etniskt mångfald påverkar innovationsförloppet på en dagstidning. Vi valde att använda oss av en kvalitativ metod med en abduktiv ansats utifrån vilka vi utförde nio semistrukturerade intervjuer. Som verktyg för vårt syfte användes Sydsvenskan som fallföretag, i strävan efter att kunna generalisera resultatet på branschen.Vi har använt oss av innov

The article explores sanctuary practices within public institutions by examining instances where public libraries in Denmark (Copenhagen), Norway (Oslo) and Sweden (Malmo and Stockholm) open up their services for persons who lack residence permits on state territory (so-called irregular migrants). Public libraries are understood to be protected public spheres where the right to information and the

Background: The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of patients who suffer from acute cutaneous leishmaniasis in Iran, focusing on quality of life. Methods: The study was conducted at two different sites in Iran in 2010-2011. Individual in-depth interviews were conducted with six men and six women parasitologically confirmed acute cutaneous leishmaniasis. Interviews were recorded, tra

Introduction On June 11, 2014, the International Labour Organization (ILO) adopted a new Protocol to its Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (No. 29) (ILO 1930), and a new Recommendation to supplement and develop both Convention No. 29 and the Protocol. These new ILO standards do not affect the definition of trafficking or the vital role of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in leading the fight

Based on transcribed spoken data, this study explores therapists’ and clients’ uses of what-if constructions in therapy and counseling sessions. It seeks to establish how these constructions are used, whether there are usage differences between these two groups of speakers, and, if so, how such differences can be explained. The study concludes that both therapists and clients use what if, but they

The changes in contents of pancreatic carboxyl ester lipase, phospholipase A2, and lingual lipase in rats with streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes have been studied. The contents of pancreatic carboxyl ester lipase and phospholipase A2 decreased by 40% and 45%, respectively, 5 days after injection of STZ, whereas pancreatic lipase steadily increased to 100% over control. The content of lingual l

Common beans of the Mayocoba variety were cooked (178 min) and evaluated regarding their chemical composition and starch digestibility in vitro. Mean physical characteristics of the Mayocoba grain were: thousand-kernel weight, 443.0 (±0.98)g; length, 12.45mm; width 7.84mm and thickness, 6.44mm. Total starch content in Mayocoba bean was 40.24% (dmb). The available starch was 22.87%, whereas resista

Subtilisin isoinhibitors (SI) were isolated from jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis L) and broad bean (Vicia faba L) seeds. Jack beans contain three isoinhibitors (pI 6.6, 6.3 and 6.0) that constitute 0.021 g per 100 g of dry seeds, while the two active proteins from broad beans (pI 5.7 and 5.1) represent 0.028%. The molecular weight, determined by gel filtration, is around 8000 D in both legumes. La

Subtilisin inhibitors were prepared from ethanol‐acetone precipitated seed extracts of chick peas, jack beans and broad beans, heated to destroy endogenous proteases. Trypsin inhibitors were complexed with trypsin and separated from subtilisin inhibitors by molecular sieve chromatography. The eluates were again heated to avoid tryptic degradation. The procedure was easy to handle and gave satisfac

Background: Quality of life in persons with dementia is, in large part, dependent on the quality of care they receive. Investigating both subjective and objective aspects of quality of care may reveal areas for improvement regarding their care, which information may ultimately enable persons with dementia to remain living in their own homes while maintaining quality of life. The aim of this study
