The study identified that many companies make social disclosure in media other than their annual report and that much social disclosure was prepared with specific readers in mind. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Commerce, 1999?

This exploratory and descriptive study provides an increased understanding of the topics being explored in both published research and industry reporting in the field of educational technology. Although literature in the field is plentiful, the task of synthesizing the information for practical use is a massive undertaking. Latent semantic analysis was used to review journal abstracts from ten highly respected journals and the New Media Consortium Horizon Reports to identify trends within the publications. As part of the analysis, 25 topics and technologies were identified in the combined corpus of academic journals and Horizon Reports. The journals tended to focus on pedagogical issues whereas the Horizon Reports tended to focus on technological aspects in education. In addition to differences between publication types, trends over time are also described. Findings may assist researchers, practitioners, administrators, and policy makers with decision-making in their respective educational areas.

I årsredovisningslagen (1995:1554) tillkom en ändring (2016:947) som medför att större svenska företag blir tvingade till att upprätta en hållbarhetsredovisning. I en tidigare undersökning framkommer det att nio av tio företag upplever det nya lagkravet som utmanande. Denna studie bidrar därför med kunskap om vilka dessa utmaningar kan vara och vad de kan bero på. Syftet med studien är att uppmärksamma vilka faktorer som ligger till grund för att företag uppfattar implementering av lag (2016:947) som utmanande. Genom detta kan studien bidra med förståelse för det praktiska arbetet vid upprättandet av hållbarhetsredovisningar. Det kan vara användbart för företag som går över från frivillig till lagstadgad hållbarhetsredovisning eller företag som upprättar en hållbarhetsredovisning för första gången i samband med ett lagkrav.För att uppnå syftet har studien utgått ifrån en kvalitativ forskningsmetod i form av intervjuer. Det har utförts åtta intervjuer med hållbarhetsansvariga på företag inom modebranschen samt sport- och fritidsbranschen. För att erhålla empiri kring det praktiska arbetet ansågs en kvalitativ metod vara bäst lämpad då det önskades praktiska exempel från informanterna.Studiens resultat kan förklaras med hjälp av implementeringsteorin där egenskaperna förstå, kan och vill presenteras. För att uppmärksamma svårigheter vid implementeringen kommer studien att undersöka om företagen besitter dessa tre egenskaper. Vid implementering av ett beslut är det väsentligt att veta vilka egenskaper företagen har för att förstå styrningenseffekter. Inom implementeringsteorin framgår det att det är mest problematiskt ifall viljan inte finns vid en implementering. Resultatet från studien visar att det finns utmaningar hos företagen som kan kopplas till egenskaperna förstå och kan. Egenskapen vill visar sig i denna studie inte kunna kopplas till företagens utmaningar. / The Annual Account Act (1995:1554) introduced a change (2016:947) which implies that larger Swedish companies are forced to establish a sustainability report. In a previous survey it appears that nine out of ten companies experience the new legal requirement as challenging. This study therefore contributes with knowledge of which these challenges could be and what they may depend on. The purpose of the study is to observe what factors that are the reasons why companies perceive implementation of law (2016:947) as challenging. By this, the study can contribute to understand the practical work in the preparation of sustainability reports. It can be useful for companies that switch from voluntary to statutory sustainability reporting or companies that establish a sustainability report for the first time in a connection with a legal requirement. To achieve the aim, the study has been based on a qualitative research method in the form of interviews. There have been eight interviews with sustainability managers in companies within the fashion industry as well as the sports-and leisure industry. In order to gain empirical knowledge about the practical work, a qualitative method was considered most appropriate because it was desired that the informants provided practical examples. The result of the study can be explained by using the implementation theory where the properties understand, can and will are presented. In order to pay attention to difficulties with implementation, the study will investigate whether the companies process these three properties. When implementing a decision, it is essential to know what properties companies have in order to understand the effects of the control. In implementation theory, it appears that it is most problematic if there is no willingness to implement. The result from the study shows that there is challenges within the companies that can be linked to the properties understandand can. The property will appear in this study unable to connect to the challenges in the companies.

During image guided interventional radiology (IR) procedures, acute X-ray induced skin injuries may occur due to high absorbed patient skin dose. These procedures are highly dependent on X-ray imaging both for guiding fluoroscopy and high quality diagnostic image acquisitions. A dose metric that quantifies the peak absorbed skin dose (PSD) is therefore of great importance, both in terms of patient specific follow-up and for imaging protocol optimization. Presently, the cumulative interventional reference point (IRP) air Kerma is the most common skin dose estimation metric in use. This metric lacks several important dose contributions, such as pre-patient attenuation, air-to-skin medium correction, scattering from the patient and the support table, and fluence correction for actual source-to-skin distance. In this manuscript, we present a novel methodology for estimating the maximum absorbed skin dose by using dose related X-ray equipment parameters, such as peak tube voltage, support table position and IRP air Kerma obtained from radiation dose structured reports (RDSR) generated by modern IR equipment. In particular, Siemens Artis Zee (Siemens Healthineers, Erlangen, Germany) and Philips Allura Clarity (Philips, Amsterdam, Netherlands). The calculation process was automated by the development of a series of programming scripts in the PythonTM programming language v3.6 (Python Software Foundation), together with a database storing correction factors and machine specific parameters such as half-value layer (HVL). The proposed calculation model enables the implementation of a dose metric which corresponds better to absorbed skin dose than IRP air Kerma in clinical settings. However, extensive future work is required for a complete PSD implementation, in particular, the development of a skin dose map in which the spatial location of each irradiation event is tracked.
