This doctoral dissertation has aimed to contribute to a modern theory of the firm that balances a disciplining view of the firm with an enabling view of the firm. This has been approached through exploring how corporate governance mechanisms influence entrepreneurship at the organisational level, in a frame of property rights. As such, the research model that guides the dissertation depicts a mode
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingens övergripande syfte var att under ett ettårigt nationellt projekt för utveckling av geriatrisk rehabilitering, Rehab Äldre 300, redogöra för förändringar av kvaliteten inom geriatrisk rehabilitering samt att beskriva denna utifrån administrativ-, personal- och vårdtagar-nivå. Vidare var syftet att under utvärderingsperioden beskriva förändringar av vårdtagaThe overarching aim of this thesis was to report changes in the quality of geriatric rehabilitation as perceived by administration, caregivers, and clients during a one-year period of a Swedish governmental venture of development in geriatric rehabilitation. Further aims were to describe changes in clients’ prevalence of symptoms, ADL dependence, subjective well-being in a one-year follow-up and t

Female sperm storage can influence male reproductive success and may favour males that produce sperm that remain viable across several ovarian cycles. Here we show that sperm are viable in the female reproductive tract across ovarian cycles in the mallee dragon, Ctenophorus fordi. Based on experimental mating trials, we show that stored sperm were generally less likely to fertilize eggs than recen
ven the most localized rule-of-law conflicts are integrally tied to global forces. At the local level, these global discourses and resources are utilized in the local power struggles as they play themselves out in democracy promotion projects. This paper analyses the role of local NGOs in helping to institute the rule of law in the new democracies of Eastern Europe. Global democracy promotion effo
In a preliminary study aimed at outlining the organization of affective categories in Romanian, several cases were identified where Romanians made use of two or more competing linguistic terms applied to what appeared to be the same conceptual configuration . One such case is taken into consideration in this 5-study follow-up investigation, whose purpose was to obtain empirical data for establishi
Syrian monasticism has often been judged by its extremes, with Symeon the Stylite as the prime example of someone leaving the human world behind to reach for God. In this interpretation, hagiographical renderings seem only to underline an opposition between sacred and civil spheres, between the cells of the ascetics and human society. With this article, however, I wish to call such a conclusion in
Telia and Ericsson have executed a joint project to evaluate the Ericsson WCDMA experimental system in Stockholm, Sweden. This system has been an important tool for gaining valuable handson WCDMA experience and to support the development of the commercial 3G WCDMA system. Some results from the ongoing tests are presented in this paper.
Modeling and understanding the vortex breakdown is a key issue of modern Lean Premixed Combustors. The main difficulty of the problem is the unsteady behavior of this type of flow: Large structures resulting from vortex breakdown and the swirling shear-layers, affect directly the flame stabilization leading to heat-release fluctuations and combustion instabilities. Consequently, one needs to captu
Popular Abstract in Swedish I syfte att upprätthålla en optimal miljö för alla kroppens celler har högre stående djur utvecklat blodcirkulationen genom vilken syre- och andra närings ämnen transporteras till vävnader via artärer och de mindre arteriolerna, medan slaggprodukter förs bort med venerna. Utbytet av näringsämnen och slaggprodukter mellan blod och vävnad sker genom kärlväggen i kroppens Disturbances in microvascular function may be important for tissue damage in many disease states. Prostacyclin, a substance produced by endothelial cells, is important for the maintenance of normal vascular homeostasis and is a potential drug for treatment of microvascular dysfunction, but indications and optimal dosage remains to be established. In the present thesis we evaluated the capillary fi
This Working Paper presents and discusses Swedish Historical National Accounts back to 1560 in both current and constant prices. With current prices, this paper provides a major extension of our prior WP 123. It also presents some revisions and additions to earlier data. The main result from the earlier paper of a long secular cycle with troughs around 1600 and 1800 and a peak around 1700 still ho
This text describes, from a cultural perspective, the role of higher education teacher training, in the systemic development of teaching and learning in higher education institutions. Three main organisational levels are identified: micro, meso and macro; and implications for and of teacher training on each level is discussed. Even though the emphasis is on the meso level, suggestions are made for
