Key words: Innovation, start-ups, exploration, exploitation, formal networks Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to explore the effects of formal network participation on exploration and exploitation activities in start-ups. Methodology: Following a cross-sectional design, an explorative study was conducted using semi-structured interviews. 18 interviews were performed with representatives fr

This essay has investigated immigrants and Swedes with foreign background’s perception of cultural heritage as it has been specified by UNESCO. The approach to focus on this particular sample population was born out of the realisation that the EU, nationalist parties and far - right extremists all point to a common her itage. What has not been studied however is the effect of immigration on nation

This master’s thesis report describes the development of a new system for control and monitoring of a helium liquefaction plant which has been carried out at Kryolab, Lund University. At the plant, helium gas is purified and then cooled in several steps until it condensates. The plant is very similar to the ones constructed today, but Kryolab wished to replace the outdated control system. The new

I ett försök att kunna straffa brott med rasistiska motiv hårdare infördes den s.k. straffskärpningsregeln, i 29 kap. 2 § 7 p. BrB under 1990-talet. Den ger domstolen möjligheten att skärpa straffet för ett brott, om motivet varit helt eller delvis hatiskt. Lagstiftaren har infört regeln för att skapa ett mer enhetligt och frekvent beaktande av hatmotiv, samtidigt som den ska fungera som ett förläIn an attempt to enable to punish crimes with racist motives the so called punishment harshening rule was added to the Penal Code during the 1990s. It gives the court the opportunity to harshen the punishment for a crime, if the perpetrator have had a hateful motive, competely or partially. The rule is legislated to create a more uniform and frequent consideration of hateful motives throughout the

En stor del av narkotikaförsäljningen sker idag via internet och distribueras genom det nationella postflödet där köpare inte sällan får hem försändelserna direkt i sin brevlåda. Mot bakgrund av detta föreslår 2021 års postlagsutredning (SOU 2021:29) ökade möjligheter för de brottsbekämpande myndigheterna att förhindra denna illegala handel. Utredningen föreslår bland annat att ge personal inom poA vast amount of drug sales take place daily via the internet and is distributed through the national postal system, where buyers often receive the items to their mailbox. Considering this, the Swedish Government appointed a new Committee to review the duty of confidentiality in the Postal Services Act (2010:1045) in order to increase opportunities for the law enforcement authorities to prevent th

Delivering essential services to burgeoning peri-urban cities in the Sub-Sahara will only become an increasing challenge, as the population in this region is expected to double by 2050. Finding effective governance arrangements, institutional settings and building participatory arenas that give a greater voice to citizens and foster greater responsiveness from democratic authorities is a delicate

Sverige införde år 2009 bestämmelsen kontakt med barn i sexuella syften i brottsbalkens sjätte kapitel paragraf 10 a som kriminaliserar möte med barn i sexuellt syfte, s.k. grooming. Bestämmelsen tillkom två år efter att Sveriges dittills största nätsexhärva, målet mot ”Alexandramannen”, hade avgjorts i Hovrätten över Skåne och Blekinge. Under de åtta år som bestämmelsen har funnits har antalet la

Om dina ögon vore lika känsliga som astronomers toppmoderna teleskop skulle du kunna se långa band av ljus när du kollar upp mot himlen. Dessa band kallas stjärnströmmar och befinner sig i yttre delen av våran galax, Vintergatan. Strömmarna skapas från en klump av stjärnor, t.ex. en dvärggalax, medan de roterar runt Vintergatan. Det som händer är att stjärnor slits loss från klumpen och dras ut tiThe orbital approximation for stellar streams is the assumption that all stars in a stream can be described as following the same orbit. In this thesis, I evaluate this approximation as a method for constraining the potential of the Milky Way. I wrote a program in MATLAB which integrates the orbits of test particles in a potential model which resembles that of the Milky Way's halo and disc. Th

Förena mörker med trygghet för att gynna biologisk mångfald! Årligen ökar spridningen av artificiellt ljus på jorden till följd av att vi människor bland annat sätter upp mer utomhusbelysning. Belysning är en av många nödvändigheter för att människor ska känna sig trygga. Belysning medför dock ljusföroreningar som påverkar biologiska funktioner negativt och den biologiska mångfalden tar skada. TrThe spread of artificial light on Earth increases annually. One of many causes of this spread is due to increased street lighting and artificial light at night (ALAN). Lighting is one of the many necessities for people to feel safe. On the other hand, ALAN, which contributes to light pollution, negatively affects biological functions and thus biodiversity. The purpose of this study was to investig

Forskningsfråga: Skiljer sig kapitalstrukturen mellan familjeföretag och icke-familjeföretag? Syfte: Studiens syfte är att undersöka om det finns en skillnad i kapitalstruktur mellan familjeföretag och icke-familjeföretag noterade på börsen i Sverige. Utöver det undersöks hur företagsspecifika variabler, som exempelvis storlek, bransch och lönsamhet, påverkar företagens skuldsättningsgrad. MetodResearch Question: Does the capital structure differ between family-owned and non-family-owned businesses? Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether there is a difference in capital structure between family-owned and non-family-owned companies listed on the Swedish stock market. Additionally, the study examines how firm-specific variables, such as size, industry, and profitabil

The present thesis investigated using the random forest machine learning algorithm for wind power forecasting. Meteorological prognoses for wind speed, wind direction, gust winds, and humidity were used. For historical data, wind minimum and temperature was also included. The results were evaluated using root means square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), normalized mean absolute error (NMA

The threat of potentially catastrophic climate change has led to 195 countries pledging to keep global average temperature rise well below 2°C based on pre-industrial levels. Wind energy technology has developed to a point where it can make a significant contribution to meeting this objective. A number of countries have developed substantial wind energy networks in recent years which in turn has a

Läkemedelsindustrin är beroende av patent. Rätten till patent möjliggör de nödvändiga investeringar i forskning och utveckling som krävs för att utveckla nya läkemedel och få ut dessa på marknaden. Detta gynnar både konsumenter och samhället i stort. De största läkemedelsföretagen investerar i forskning och utveckling, och är därmed de primära innehavarna av läkemedelspatent. Samtidigt som de störThe pharmaceutical industry is dependent on the granting of patents. Patents make it possible for pharmaceutical companies to invest in the necessary R&D to bring new drugs to the market. This benefits consumers and the health care sector at large. The biggest pharmaceutical companies invest in R&D, and as a result are the major holders of pharmaceutical patents. While the big pharmaceutic

Medverkan till brott enligt brottsbalken (1962:700), BrB, 23:4 är en vidsträckt brottsform inte enbart utifrån kriminaliseringens utsträckning över olika delikt, men även eftersom tröskeln för det otillåtna är tämligen låg. Att även de som avses skyddas av olika straffbud ibland medverkar till gärningsmannens gärning är därför inte särskilt konstigt. Samtidigt kan ofta antas att lagstiftaren inte Complicity in crime according to Chapter 23 Section 4 of The Penal Code (1962:700), BrB, is an extensive type of crime, not only due to complicity being criminalized for a substantive number of crimes, but also because the threshold for the unallowed is rather low. That those who are supposed to be protected by different penalty provisions sometimes formally participate in the perpetrator’s act, i

Hormone-mediated maternal effects play an important role in the formation of a differentiated phenotype. They have been shown to influence a wide array of offspring traits, both early in life and in adulthood. One important offspring trait that is under the influence of maternal androgens is the immune system. In birds, a growing number of studies show that yolk androgens modulate immune function
