2. 1. Proactivity at work

   Author : Kin Andersson; Annika Lantz; Kerstin Isaksson; Annika Härenstam; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Job design; work task analysis; proactivity; unemployment; attitudes; personal initiative; job-search behaviour; group initiative; group processes; Psychology; Psykologi;

   Abstract : Proactive behaviour implies taking initiative and mastering unexpected situations, and hence, is desirable in different situations. The present thesis includes three empirical studies intended to understand the consequences of proactive behaviour, as well as the factors that contribute to proactive behaviour at work and when facing unemployment.

4. 2. The experience of younger adults and their next of kin following a myocardial infarction and registered nurses' conceptions of caring in a coronary care context

   Author : Ewa Andersson; Vård i högteknologisk miljö; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; content analysis; Caring; conceptions of caring; context; coronary care; deductive content analysis; experience; inductive content analysis; myocardial infarction; next of kin; nursing; phenomenography; phenomenological hermeneutic; younger people; views; qualitative research.;

   Abstract : Despite the fact that caring has been regarded as the core of nursing for decades, our knowledge about caring is still mainly on a philosophical level. The problem with these philosophical descriptions is that they do not serve as explicit guides for today's nurses, particularly in the light of the considerable changes that have taken place in the healthcare sector.

5. 3. The bright lights grow fainter : livelihoods, migration and a small town in Zimbabwe

   Author : Agnes Andersson; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Zimbabwe; livelihood; migration; mobility; provisioning; structural adjustment; Rusape; small towns; kin networks; Human Geography; kulturgeografi; Human Geography; kulturgeografi;

   Abstract : The Aids pandemic and structural adjustment policies (SAP) have had effects on lower income households in Zimbabwe which have been devastating and people have been required to adapt their livelihood strategies. Small towns meanwhile are growing rapidly in Zimbabwe and mobility towards these towns may be connected with the changes being forged by SAP on the economic landscape. READ MORE

6. 4. Titchmarsh-Weyl M-function asymptotics and some results in the inverse spectral theory for vector-valued Sturm-Liouville equations and a certain higher order ordinary differential equation

   Author : Erik Andersson; Matematik (naturvetenskapliga fakulteten); []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Functions; differential equations; Funktioner; differentialekvationer; Paley-Wiener.; The generalized Fourier transform; A certain higher order ordinary differential equation; Borg-Marchenko theorems; Vector-valued Sturm-Liouville equations; Inverse spectral theory; Titchmarsh-Weyl M-function asymptotics; Asymptotics of solutions; Spectral measure;

   Abstract : This discourse is constituted by two separate reprots, where the first one offers an elementary deduction of the leading order term asymptotics for the Titchmarsh-Weyl M-function corresponding to a vector-valued Sturm-Liouville equation of the form -(PU')'+QU=zu, xin[0,b), with P^{-1},W,Q being hermitean with locally integrable entries; and under some additional conditions on P^{-1} and W. In the special case of P=W=I, we give some further asymptotic results for the same M-function. READ MORE

7. 5. Physical capacity in individuals with cerebral palsy : problems, needs and resources, with special emphasis on locomotion

   Author : Christina Andersson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Many individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) have difficulties in walking independently because of impaired postural control, abnormal tone and pathological muscular coordination. Walkers are often a prerequisite and are often prescribed for assisting and providing the stability necessary for ambulation. READ MORE
