Innovative business plan for care-recruit: international recruitment of foreign nurses to Denmark

The innovative business plan is developed to solve the rapidly growing problem of shortages of nurses. This thesis focuses on how international recruitment could be a part of the solution. To understand the concept of personnel selection, the literature review discusses personnel selection's underlying factors, thereby recruitment to build up the innovative business plan. Furthermore, the PESTL analysis brings in-deep knowledge about external factors influencing the business plan and outlines market opportunities. The external analysis indicated a massive demand for nurses, a bureaucratic and inefficient process for immigration and validation of education, and Argentina as a country in crisis with young professionals motivated to seek new opportunities. The hosted country comparison showed that Denmark and Argentina culturally had many similarities. Moreover, the competitive analysis pointed out that the recruitment industry is intense, but none was recruiting nurses outside of Scandinavia. The marketing strategy outlines a marketing mix and targeting of candidates and clients. The strategy targets nurses in Argentina and the Regions managing the healthcare industry in Denmark, with direct sales and a clear communication message. Finally, the financial part covered an income- and cash flow statement indicating a relatively high investment to start the Care-Recruit.O plano de negócios inovador é desenvolvido para resolver o problema crescente de da escassez de enfermeiros. Esta tese se concentra em como o recrutamento internacional pode ser uma parte da solução. Para compreender o conceito de seleção de profissionais, a revisão da maca discute os fatores subjacentes à seleção de profissionais, assim, o recrutamento para construir o plano de negócios inovador. Além disso, a análise de pragas traz o conhecimento profundo sobre os fatores externos que influenciam o plano de negócios e delineia as oportunidades de mercado. A análise externa indicou uma demanda massiva por enfermeiros, um processo burocrático e ineficiente de imigração e de validação da educação, e a Argentina é um país em crise com jovens profissionais motivados a buscar novas oportunidades. A comparação dos países hospedados mostrou que a Dinamarca e a Argentina culturalmente tinham muitas semelhanças. Além disso, a análise competitiva apontou que a indústria de recrutamento é intensa, mas nenhuma estava recrutando enfermeiras fora da Escandinávia. A estratégia de marketing descreve um mix de marketing e direcionamento de candidatos e clientes. A estratégia é voltada para enfermeiras na Argentina e nas regiões que gerenciam o setor de saúde na Dinamarca, com vendas diretas e uma mensagem de comunicação clara. Finalmente, a parte financeira cobriu uma demonstração de renda e fluxo de caixa indicando um investimento relativamente alto para iniciar o "Care-Recruit"

Identifying potential geothermal reservoirs in Denmark

Concerns about climate change have led to increased interest in geothermal energy as one way of reducing the consumption of fossil fuels and thus limit CO2 emissions. Use of geothermal energy is based on well-established technologies, a high degree of security of supply, and little visual or noise inconvenience. More than one hundred plants have been established in Europe. There is a large potential for using geothermal energy from the Danish subsurface, as first pointed out by Balling (1976). Geothermal energy is highly suitable for district heating systems and is expected to cover a large part of the demand for district heating in the future. Two Danish geothermal plants, the Thisted plant in northern Jylland and the Margretheholm demonstration plant near Copenhagen (Fig. 1), have shown that it is possible to produce large amounts of warm water for district heating. Only 5–10% of the total energy output from the plant is used to extract the heat from the subsurface by pumping warm formation water to the surface and returning it to the subsurface in a closed system. The plants use absorption warmth pumps, which need steam and hence give rise to consumption of (fossil) fuel. Both Danish plants have two wells, a production well and an injection well in which the cooled formation water is returned to the geological reservoir at about 1 km away from the production point, in order to avoid mixing of warm and cold water (Fig. 2). Geothermal energy can also be used for electricity production, but Danish subsurface tem-peratures are currently not believed to be sufficiently high to produce electricity directly

Geothermal energy in Denmark

The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) has for many years been involved with research, advisory and consultancy services concerning the assessment of the geothermal energy potential in Denmark, in close cooperation with private and public partners. The Survey’s particular responsibility has been the development of geological models to describe and predict the distribution of sandstone reservoirs suitable for geothermal exploitation. Danish geothermal resources in known sandstone aquifers are estimated to be sufficient to cover household heating requirements in Denmark for more than a century (Sørensen et al. 1998)

Outcomes of coronary artery bypass graft surgery

This review article summarizes the major studies that have investigated the outcomes of coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). The article includes a review of the literature in the areas of: history of CABG; indications for CABG; and measurement of quality of life following CABG, including prolongation of life, physical functioning (ie, relief from angina and dyspnea, physical activity, as well as complications of surgery and re-hospitalization), psychological functioning, and social functioning. Overall, the literature demonstrates that the outcomes of CABG have historically been measured in terms of mortality and morbidity; however, it has now been well recognized that adjustment to CABG is a multidimensional phenomenon that is not fully explained by medical factors. Therefore, in addition to studying mortality and morbidity outcomes following CABG, many recent studies have identified that it is important to investigate various physical, psychological, and social variables that have a significant impact on post-operative adjustment to CABG

VOKSENUDVIKLING OG SPIRITUALITET

De kontemplative traditioner, der findes inden for alle de store religioner, rummer indsigter, der kan have relevans for nutidig menneskers søgen efter helhed og mening. Disse indsigter er imidlertid fortolket og overleveret i kulturelle kontekster, der gør dem vanskeligt tilgængelige for mange i nutiden, og som ofte er på direkte kollisionskurs med moderne og postmoderne verdensbilleder. Artiklen præsenterer en meta-teori – den såkaldte AQAL-model – der bl.a. kan bruges til at integrere de kontemplative traditioners indsigter med indsigter fra moderne udviklingspsykologi og neurologi. Væsentlige aspekter af kulturelle fortolkningsrums udvikling skitseres ud fra Spiral Dynamics og forbindes ved hjælp af AQAL-modellen med gennemgående træk i de fænomenologiske beskrivelser af spirituelle erfaringer. Denne integrative tilgang gør det muligt at anerkende årtusinders visdom vedrørende menneskets muligheder uden at undergrave moderne landvindinger som videnskabelighed og demokrati

From Broadway to Community, The Job of a Music Director for Musical Theatre

What in the world do music directors do? Despite musical theater being a billion dollarindustry, the backbone of these productions, the music director, is often unknown and even less so understood within the theatre industry. In this study I interviewed nineteen music directors from across the professional and educational spectrum in search of crystallizing a common set of best practices that can be utilized by new musical directors, but more importantly, can be used by non-music directors in the industry to improve their working relationships with music directors, in order to create more musical theater in meaningful and creative ways.</p
