This paper describes the successful implementation of a prototype software application that independently and proactively detects whether a mobile phone is lost or misused. When the mobile phone is detected as being lost or misused, the application takes steps to mitigate the impact of loss and to gather evidence. The goal is to aid in the recovery of the mobile phone. The prototype works regardless of the cellular infrastructure the mobile phone is operating in and makes minimum demands on the owner of the mobile phone. The prototype was developed on Nokia 6600 mobile phones that run Symbian Operating System 7.0s. Development was done using Nokia’s Series 60 Developer’s Platform 2.0. / Singapore-MIT Alliance (SMA)

The aim of the study was to describe what district nurses, who work with telephone- advice, document in patient record, to be able to develop their documentation. The Authors have examined 50 patient records. The examination tool is collected from “Lokal anvisning för hälso- och sjukvården I Södra Älvsborg”. The audit areas was record keeping, review and planning, realization, individual nursing and the patients participation, information, education and agreement. The sample was stratified to avoid examining only one district nurses´ documentation. The sample was from, the five first and the five last telephone-advices that was documented in patient record, the five first days in July 2006. The result of the audit shows a lack of documentation in nursing record with telephone-advice, for example the patients problems is missing, it can lead to a poorer security of the patient. The Authors conclusion is that the district nurses who works with telephone-advice needs education in documentation, to increase and improve security of the patient in nursing and treatment. / Syftet med studien var att beskriva vad distriktssköterskor dokumenterar i samband med telefonrådgivning för att kunna utveckla distriktssköterskors omvårdnadsdokumentation vid telefonrådgivningssituationer. Författarna har granskat totalt 50 patientjournaler. Granskningsdokumentet som använts är hämtat ur ”Lokal anvisning för Hälso- och sjukvården i Södra Älvsborg”. Den omfattar granskning av journalföring, bedömning och planering, genomförande, individuell omvårdnad och den vårdsökandes delaktighet och information, undervisning och överenskommelse. Urvalet var stratifierat, de fem första och de fem sista telefonrådgivningarna de fem första dagarna i juli månad 2006, för att undvika att granska enbart en distriktssköterskans dokumentation. Resultatet av granskningen visar på bristande dokumentation i omvårdnadsjournalen i samband med telefonrådgivning inom samtliga granskningsområden t ex så saknas dokumentation om den vårdsökandes aktuella behov. Det kan leda till att patientsäkerheten försämras. Författarnas slutsats är att distriktssköterskor som arbetar med telefonrådgivning har behov av utbildning vad gäller dokumentation i samband med telefonrådgivning för att förbättra och öka patientsäkerheten i vård och behandling.

For any given firm in any industry, market success is a desire that all strive for, and this is achieved by outsmarting competition through brilliant strategies. To develop these strategies many firms resort to innovation, and as such innovation is the key to developing better strategies for market success. It is with this acknowledgement that this thesis delves into the history of LM Ericsson in order to unearth the innovation strategies that lay behind the company‟s success during the last decade of the 19th century. To achieve this mission, we ask ourselves such questions as to what was unique with Lars Magnus Ericsson that he relayed to the company that ensured success. We even try to find out if there were any technology related aspects that facilitated this success and finally take a look at the company‟s business environment to find out if the environment played any roles which can be attributed to the company‟s success. Getting the above mentioned tasks accomplished required the application of appropriate methodological steps. Owing to the historical nature of the study and the data to be collected all indications were leaning towards a qualitative study based on secondary data with a case study as the most suitable design given that the aim of study was to explore LM Ericsson‟s innovation strategies. But this study‟s relevance is tied to the relationship with theory wherein relevance is proclaimed if the empirical data collected can somehow be related to the theories used in the study. With respect to the issue of relevance, an inductive approach was suitable as we sought to make some theoretical inferences out of the findings arrived at. The application of the chosen approach edged the thesis closer towards achieving the stated aim of study. An analysis was therefore done with the help of relevant theories among them open innovation, path dependence, competitive strategy as well as theory on networks. The conclusion arrived at was that Lars Magnus Ericsson possessed a raft of unique capabilities, among them innate engineering skills, handiness, and a host of other personal attributes such as thoroughness and cautiousness. All these traits together with the favourable domestic business environment incorporating limited number of competitors and the low level of technology at that time worked in favour of the company. In addition it is also important to note that the path dependent nature of the telephone technology as well as the lack of patents in telephone technology in the Nordic region, allowed the founder of the company to borrow foreign knowledge for use in developing products. But perhaps the most outstanding of all the success factors, personal qualities aside, was LM Ericsson‟s collaboration with Henrik Cedergren‟s SAT (Stockholms Allmänna Telefonaktiebolag). There is no doubt Lars Magnus Ericsson would have succeeded thanks to his innate skills which were instrumental in the production of quality products, but he would probably not have been as successful as he was. Collaboration with SAT highly promoted the success of the company. The special relationship endeared the company to the telephone market, and made the innovation equation complete for LM Ericsson. The company could thus concentrate on improving its technical skills base while SAT delivered the markets and success was inevitable. When this relationship tended towards its end by the turn of the century, LM Ericsson‟s fortunes began to diminish and it had no choice but to diversify beyond the domestic market it once dominated with SAT‟s help, to venture into foreign markets. This highlights the epicentre of LM Ericsson‟s success pillars, thereby bringing us to the most important lesson we learn with this case as one of the major reasons behind LM Ericsson‟s success. Before proceeding to the main body of this thesis, the reader‟s attention is being drawn to the fact that the company which is the subject of this study shares the same name with its founder. Therefore in a bid to differentiate between the founder and the company to ensure clarity the full names of Lars Magnus Ericsson is used in reference to the founder while LM Ericsson refers to the company

Gian-Carlo Menotti (1911-2007) is one of America¡¦s most distinguished contemporary opera composers. He composed twenty-seven operas. The telephone is a one act play which was composed in 1947 as a curtain raiser for The Medium. The Telephone is his shortest opera which only takes 25 minutes to perform. Menotti wrote all the text in this opera himself. Although The Telephone is short, the structure is complete. It¡¦s one of Menotti's greatest popular operas. The main character of The Telephone, Lucy, is a soprano. The success of Lucy¡¦s performance is the key to success of the whole opera. Because of the importance of "Lucy", I select "Lucy" as a research topic of the article. Except the preface, my essay contains four main sections: the biography of Menotti and the main operatic works of Menotti, textual analysis of Menotti¡¦s The Telephone and the characterization of Lucy, and the dramaturgy of Lucy. The purpose of this study is to explore how Menotti made use of music device to express the effects and atmosphere in theater, how to create emotional changes of Lucy, and expect to reinforcing profundity in performance.
