Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med denna avhandling är att skapa en bättre förståelse för vilken betydelse institutioner har för innovationsprocesser inom regionala innovationssystem. Den fokuserar särskilt på hur olika typer av institutioner på skilda geografiska nivåer samspelar; hur institutionell påverkan förändras i samband med att innovationsprocesser utvecklas över tid; samt vilka möjliEconomic geographers have long been intrigued by the role of institutions in innovation processes. It has been argued that differences in institutions are among the factors explaining the uneven innovative capacity across and within countries. The regional innovation system approach highlights the interrelationships of firms, universities, governmental authorities and other organizations, as well

Background: No studies explore the career core of successful scientific leaders in nursing, a context where role models and career support would be desirable. To achieve a successful academic career, there is a need for an in-depth understanding of how successful scientific leaders in healthcare think in order to guide junior researchers through their early careers. Aim: To explore the main concer

Small independent (indie) game startups face fierce competition when developing games with limited time, budget, and resources. Continuously testing and experimenting with new ideas, features, and content is essential to validate and guide development toward a viable and successful game. Such continuous experimentation (CE) requires access to users and user data, which is often very limited in the

Introduction Sweden, as many other high-income countries, has adopted guidelines to offer induction of labour at 41+0 gestational weeks to decrease the risk for perinatal death. As more than 20% of the pregnant population reach this gestational age, and along with other contributing factors, induction rates have increased up to 30% in many countries. Both women and care providers have raised the q

The canihua (Chenopodium pallidicaule) is a native Andean crop that stands out for its high content of protein, fiber, and minerals and that has a good fatty acid profile. We studied six canihuas cultivars, which were compared according to their proximate, mineral, and fatty acid composition. Based on the form of stems, termed growth habit, they belonged to two groups: decumbent (Lasta Rosada, Ill

Interactions between cortical areas were studied during the search for verbal associations and reading of words. The functional anatomy and the sequence of involvement of cortical areas during the solution of these tasks have been described previously, in studies using positron emission tomography and multichannel recordings of evoked potentials combined with identification of the locations of dip

Modelling of tool wear in metal cutting processes has been the foundation of the field since the famous Taylor's tool life model. Tool wear models have been developed for planning machining operations and calculating production costs. Most wear models do not include wear rate in the model but rather just the final wear at end of tool life, i.e. the limiting wear. This is a major disadvantage of Ta

Humanitarian logistics (HL) is a relatively new research area that requires clear boundaries and a defined foundational perspective. Recent disasters have shown that the scope of HL is expanding, as in cases of cash-based interventions, outsourcing to commercial companies, and stronger involvement of local communities. These changes imply the importance of scrutinizing the old definitions of HL an

Why do business leaders, senior politicians and civil servants move to leading positions in EU civil society? The article addresses this question through thirteen unique life-work history interviews with leaders of some of the most prominent EU civil society organisations (CSOs). Inspired by sociological approaches in EU civil society research, the article combines insights from the literature on

Using only linearly polarized light, we study the possibility of generating spin-polarized photoelectrons from xenon atoms. No net spin polarization is possible, since the xenon ground state is spinless, but when the photoelectrons are measured in coincidence with the residual ion, spin polarization emerges. Furthermore, we show that ultrafast dynamics of the recolliding photoelectrons contribute

Systems development methods mirror different organizational perspectives, and not all methods are formalised, but what they have in common is the purpose of structuring and supporting systems development processes. Which method would be the most suitable may be determined by the systems development context at hand, because every systems development context is unique. Information is a valuable asse

Problem formulation: Traditional accounting and financial reports do not provide sufficient information today. New reports like the Intellectual Capital Statements are one answer to this problem. They systematically report on Intangible Assets that create value in the company. We found that external stakeholders do not use Intellectual Capital Statements in their evaluation processes. This made us

The purpose of this thesis was to examine and analyze the power within institutional care for adult addicts. Questions which were raised concern the caregivers' approach to power, what power they use, the reactions they face and ultimately the strategies they use to legitimize the power towards clients. The method used was qualitative interviews with caregivers at treatment homes for adult add

Skalbolag är ett företag i vilket företagets tillgångar i huvudsak består av kontanter, värdepapper och liknande likvida tillgångar vid tidpunkten för avyttring. Ett aktiebolag, en ekonomisk förening eller ett handelsbolag kan vara ett skalbolag. Ett skalbolag föreligger om summan av marknadsvärdet av företagets likvida tillgångar överstiger hälften av köpeskillingen vid tidpunkten för avyttringenA shell company is a company where the company’s assets mainly consist of cash, securities and other similar liquid assets. The shell company can be: a limited liability company, an economic association or a general partnership. The company is a shell company if market value of the company’s liquid assets exceeds the half of the purchase price at the time of sale. There are several reasons to buy

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Malmö ur ett mandelblomsperspektiv. Tänk dig att du är en mandelblom på en äng någonstans i trakterna kring Malmö. I början av Maj år 1802 kryper du upp ur jorden och känner solens strålar mot dina blad. Du sätter blommor, du får frön som av en vindpust förs iväg och landar i en hage inte så långt bort. Nu låtsas vi att ditt frö inte gror, utan det ligger kvar iBiodiversity preservation has a high priority in nature conservation on a global, regional and local scale. The rate at which species are extinct today is very high and this is to a large extent a consequence of human influence on the earth’s ecosystems. The decreasing biodiversity in Sweden is mainly an effect of the landscape becoming more fragmented. GIS is generally considered as an effective

En följd av den nya lagen (2014:307) om straff för penningtvättsbrott har varit att ett flertal myndigheter, i diverse rapporter, riktat kritik mot att det råder brist på rättspraxis avseende straffvärdebedömningar i mål om penningtvättsbrott. Utöver dessa myndighetspublikationer är litteraturen om den straffrättsliga regleringen av penningtvättsbrott knapphändig. Det har därför varit av intresse The novel Act regarding penalties for money laundering offences (2014:307) has been criticized by a number of authorities. This, due to the fact that judicial precedent about penal assessment in cases of money laundering offence is scarce. Furthermore, there is a lack of evidence in the literature concerning the new legislation. Therefore, it has been interesting as a part of my essay to study how

Unga vuxna har länge varit särbehandlade i svensk straffrätt. Särbehandlingen sker i både straffmätning och val av påföljd. En av de allmänna uppfattningar som motiverar särbehandlingen är att ungdomar är omogna och har en outvecklad ansvarsförmåga. Särbehandlingen innebär att andra viktiga straffrättsliga principer och teorier sätts åt sidan för att ge plats åt ett mer humanistiskt tänk gällande Young offenders have for a long time been treated differently in the Swedish criminal law system. This particular treatment or juvenile reduction occurs in both the sentencing measure and the choice of penalty. One of the general opinions that motivate this specific treatment is that youths are immature and don't have a developed ability to be responsible. The juvenile reduction means that oth

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are polysaccharides that are involved in many biological processes. Heparin and dermatan sulfate are highly sulfated GAGs that are involved in the coagulation cascade by regulating thrombin and are used as anticoagulatory drugs. Various peptides have been suggested to constitute the foundation of GAG mimetics to find alternative drugs. This bachelor thesis is focusing on
