A Thesis submitted to The University of Arizona College of Medicine - Phoenix in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Medicine. / Integrative medicine (IM) is a unique clinical paradigm that may be applied across numerous healthcare professions and diverse settings. With its focus on whole person health and lifestyle medicine, it advocates utilizing complementary and alternative medicine in addition to traditional treatments in order to achieve an individual’s optimal wellness. Literature supports how significantly this distinctive, promising field of practice can help reduce overall healthcare costs, alleviate the heavy burden of chronic disease, bolster efforts focused on preventive measures, and improve both patient outcomes along with practitioner wellbeing. In order to meet a growing demand for easily accessible, ongoing professional education in IM, the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine launched an innovative curriculum called the Integrative Medicine in Residency (IMR). This online, two hundred hour, integrative course premiered with eight Family Medicine Residencies across the United States. The purpose behind this study was to aid in developing an appropriate compilation of instruments for a long-term follow‐up questionnaire for IMR graduates, distribute the survey to a trial cohort, and present a summary of the pilot survey results. The instrument was developed in order to: provide feedback on the course, aid in future program modification, determine how graduates implement what they learned through IMR, identify barriers to care, and help distinguish areas where physicians may need additional support to better incorporate IM into practice. The final forty‐four‐question survey, with quantitative and qualitative measures, was distributed in 2015 over three months to residents that graduated between 2011‐2014 via their program directors. All candidates were sent an email with an embedded link to Survey Monkey. Through this series of online, self‐reported responses, the questionnaire was filled out in real time and results were auto‐populated into a secure excel file for further statistical analysis. Our trial cohort attained valuable responses from thirty‐one graduates. Results demonstrated that students were largely satisfied with their education and pleased with the personal and professional impacts following their IMR training; however, barriers to care most notably reported were time, cost, and patient receptivity. This study emphasizes the importance of providing easy access to ongoing IM education for physicians, while also highlighting the equal importance of future research into how to better support healthcare providers seeking to provide the comprehensive IM therapy all patients deserve.

HemoCue AB is a multinational corporation targeted on manufacturing point-of-care analysis instruments for medical treatment. Their main product, the DM 201, is outdated and has big issues gaining new market shares. For example, no medical treatment center in Sweden uses DM 201 frequently. The project of developing a new instrument to replace it was assigned two students at the development engineering program at Halmstad University. The project also included integration of the new platform for DM 202 to HemoCue AB:s remaining products. The project began by defining the different technical areas concerned. By identifying six big technical areas and reaching a technical height within these areas the project group was able to combine the new knowledge and assemble them to a satisfying result. The project group developed a new instrument with a 50 % decreased volume compared to the DM 201. The components are carefully selected to match the technical progress in the medical treatment business over the past years.

When the goals where reached for DM 202, the project group started to integrate useful components into the remaining product range. To make this possible the group had to redesign all the remaining instruments both internal and external. The superior work of the project group has resulted in a completely new product range for HemoCue AB. Consisting of intelligent, powerful instrument that will be very attractive on the market.

The aim of this diploma thesis is to determine the nature of the securing bill of exchange through the analysis of professional literature and relevant case law. The thesis is composed of eight chapters. The first chapter deals with the issue of securing instruments in general. It presents the main amendments which have been brought to the law of obligations by the recent recodification of the private law, especially to the securing instruments. This chapter mentions the characteristics and functions of the general securing instruments. This is followed by the presentation of the bill of exchange as a specific type of the securing instrument. The second chapter is completely devoted to the bill of exchange. It examines the functions of a bill of exchange in legal relations. This chapter also contains more detailed description of an agreement that provides the bill of exchange the disposition of the securing instrument. The following chapter not only defines the term bill of exchange but also concerns with the definition of security in view of the fact that this part of the law was amended by the recodification of the private law. This passage classifies the bill of exchange into the system of securities and emphasises especially the characteristics connected with its transfer. Chapter four...
