  Klebsiella pneumoniae species complex (KpSC) is a group of closely related bacterial species including Klebsiella pneumoniae sensu stricto known as a major human opportunistic pathogen associated with healthcare.

• Besparelse med bruk av SD-anlegg 

  Normann, Ingjerd Pettersen (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-05-14)

  Denne oppgaven er en studie av hvordan SD-anlegg kan gi besparelser i både eksisterende og nye bygg. Rapporten ser på besparelser i form av energi og andre potensielle besparelser, som hvor mye tid et SD-anlegg frigir i løpet av en arbeidsdag og organisering av ferieavvikling. Innledningsvis er det gjort en gjennomgang av teori som er relevant for oppgaven, med fokus på SD-anleggets hierarki, ...

In this qualitative study, we explore ...

  Background Fee-for-service is a common payment model for remunerating general practitioners (GPs) in OECD countries. In Norway, GPs earn two-thirds of their income through fee-for-service, which is determined by the number of consultations and procedures they register as fees. In general, fee-for-service incentivises many and short consultations and is associated with high service provision. GPs ...
