Good governance for SMEs is critical for economic development and growth in both developed and developing economies. In this paper we focus on boards and governance in small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) by investigating the role and contribution of “outside” directors in this setting. By contrasting board role theories against different types of SMEs, firms are expected to recruit “outside”

Objectives. The evidence regarding effectiveness of parental support interventions targeting children's health behaviours is weak.We aimed to review: 1) effectiveness of universal parental support interventions to promote dietary habits, physical activity (PA) or prevent overweight and obesity among children 2–18 years and 2) effectiveness in relation to family socio-economic position. Methods. Th

The paper presents a feedback scheduling strategy for multiple control tasks that uses feedback from the plant states to distribute the computing resources optimally among the tasks. Linear-quadratic controllers are analyzed, and expressions relating the expected cost to the sampling period and the plant state are derived and used for on-line sample-rate adjustments. In the case of minimum-varianc

Att utforma och använda mål för att styra har vuxit fram som en stor styrfråga. Om inte en ständig listetta i kommuner och landsting de kommande åren, talar mycket åtminstone för en tio i topp placering på lednings- och styrvertygslistan.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling beskriver den centrala metabolismen och produktionen av exopolysackarider (EPS) hos två olika mjölksyrabakterier: Lactobacillus reuteri och Pediococcus parvulus. Mjölksyrabakterier används inom livsmedelsindustrin som startkulturer i olika mjölkbaserade produkter. Generellt utnyttjas en specifik metabol väg för nerbrytningen av sockerkällan till mjölksyThis thesis deals with the central carbohydrate metabolism and exopolysaccharide (EPS) formation in two different lactic acid bacteria (LAB): Lactobacillus reuteri and Pediococcus parvulus. LAB are traditionally used as starter cultures in the food industry. In general, LAB harbours one glycolytic pathway converting carbohydrates into lactic acid. However, L. reuteri ATCC 55730 was proven to use t

Neoplastic disorders are characterized by recurrent somatically acquired chromosomal aberrations that alter the structure and/or expression of a large number of genes. Most “cancer genes” discovered to date in human neoplasms have been identified through isolation of genes at the breakpoints of balanced chromosomal translocations. Although functional studies of such cancer-causing genes have demon

In order to explore the attitudes of physicians in hospital mergers, a survey was distributed to the Southern Sweden University Hospital (in Swedish Skånes universitetssjukhus). The merger was implemented January 1, 2010, and the survey was distributed November 8, 2011.
