Authorship is important for career progression but it also implies responsibility for the integrity of work undertaken. There are variousguidelines for authorship, but with no clear definition and with tacitly agreed standards which vary between disciplines, it can be amatter of interpretation and negotiation who will be listed as an author. It is often not clear what contribution each person has
Abstract The focus of this thesis is to study and model the capacity of the bank to trade on the bonds market under normal and stressed conditions. This capacity is related to the liquidity of bonds market (ie, the ability to trade) and bank’s trading desks capacity to trade. All banks have different models but all are subject to the validation of the bank in a first place and the EU Central Bank
The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze South Korea's development process in comparison with Kenya. Based on how decision-makers in both countries have implemented the development and growth policies from the 60´s. The analysis shows that South Korea has applied the three macro-economic growth theoretical models and managed to get the growth engine in motion. Kenya, however, has f
Since the second half of the 1990s onwards the EU has started comprehensive Europeanization reform process in the Western Balkan countries in the framework of its enlargement policy. One important aspect of the ongoing Europeanization process has been a democratization reforms. However, the WB region as a whole has continuously faced serious democratic deficit. Therefore, it is highly challenging

This thesis explores the heterologous expression of six fungal enzymes with potential polyurethane (PUR) degrading activity in two strains of the filamentous fungus Aspergillus oryzae: the standard Ory6 and a knock-out variant with disrupted transcription factors to potentially reduce native protease activity. Each enzyme was expressed in three gene formats: a native version (including any introns
Efficient inventory management is crucial for successful supply chain management with it attributing up to 30% of an organization’s supply chain costs. A key strategic decision in inventory management remains whether to centralize or decentralize inventory with both decisions having their advantages and disadvantages. Most studies highlight the importance of an organizations supply chain network i
The thesis is focused on an attempt to delay photoreceptor cell death in the rd1 mouse using Lens Epithelium Derived Growth Factor (LEDGF), Glutathione S-Transferase mu (GST-?? and Glutathione S-Transferase alpha (GST-?? in an organ culture paradigm as well as the role of metalloproteases (MMPs) and their tissue inhibitors in photoreceptor degeneration (TIMPs). The rd1 mouse model displays a reti
Abstract: Purpose – While the importance of measuring customer satisfaction levels is well established, less research exists on how organizations operationalize such knowledge. The purpose of this paper is to describe an action research (AR) case study resulting in a workshop model to operationalize the concept of value. The model facilitates organizational learning and mindset changes in order to
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den globala energianvändningen är idag större än någonsin. Faktum är att den, i takt med världens ständiga utveckling, kommer att fortsätta öka många år framöver. Sättet som energi har producerats på historiskt används dessutom i allra högsta grad fortfarande idag och innebär daglig förbränning av stora mängder organiskt material. Detta resulterar i en ökad koncentratioThis dissertation covers studies of excited state processes in two types of solar energy materials: alternating polyfluorene polymers and their blends with fullerenes in the active layer of plastic solar cells, and bis-tridentate RuII-polypyridyl complexes to be used as sensitizer in systems for artificial photosynthesis. The polymer:fullerene blends were studied by transient absorption and time-
In his book Visual thinking, Arnheim (1969) writes: ... cognitive operations called thinking are not the privilege of mental processes above and beyond perception but the essential ingredients of perception itself. I am referring to such operations as active exploration, selection, grasping of essentials, simplification, abstraction, analysis and synthesis, completion, correction, comparison, prob
In this article, the issue of cross-linguistic influence in second language acquisition is examined from a processing perspective. Applying Processability Theory as the theoretical framework we claim that second language (L2) learners can only produce forms they are able to process.We thus argue that the first language (L1) influence on the L2 is developmentally moderated. Data were collected from
Global climate variability affects important local hydro-meteorological variables like precipitation and temperature. The Southern Oscillation (SO) is an easily quantifiable major driving force that gives impact on regional and local climate. The relationships between SO and local climate variation are, however, characterized by strongly nonlinear processes. Due to this, teleconnections between gl
Popular Abstract in Swedish Studien handlar om fysiologen Frithiof Holmgrens försök att fastställa seendets natur på experimentell väg. Avsikten är att problematisera Holmgrens intresse för synsinnet mot bakgrund av de metoder och vetenskapliga ideal som var förhärskande inom den experimentella fysiologin, det ämne som Holmgren introducerade i Sverige 1862. Generellt kan man säga att Holmgrens forThis study deals with research on the visual organ as pursued in experimental physiology during the latter half of the nineteenth-century. In the 1850's och 60's experimental physiology developed as a new, scientific discipline within the curriculum of western medicine. By opposing the natural philosophical and vitalistic viewpoint of romantic medicine and by proclaiming measuring devices, animal
The MM500 meta-study aims to establish a knowledge basis of the tumor proteome to serve as a complement to genome and transcriptome studies. Somatic mutations and their effect on the transcriptome have been extensively characterized in melanoma. However, the effects of these genetic changes on the proteomic landscape and the impact on cellular processes in melanoma remain poorly understood. In thi
This paper analyses and compares a set of case studies on ecosystem services (ES) mapping and assessment with the purpose of formulating lessons learned and recommendations. Fourteen case studies were selected during the EU Horizon 2020 “Coordination and Support Action” ESMERALDA to represent different policy- and decision-making processes throughout the European Union, across a wide range of them
Objective – Gothenburg University Library has implemented a process with the goal to combine quality assurance and strategic planning activities. The process has bottom-up and top-down features designed to generate strong staff-involvement and long-term strategic stability.Methods – In 2008 the library started implementing a system in which each library team should state a number of improvement ac
BACKGROUND: Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) is a mitogenic hormone involved in many processes such as growth, metabolism, angiogenesis and differentiation. After very preterm birth, energy demands increase while maternal supplies of nutrients and other factors are lost and the infant may become dependent on parenteral nutrition for weeks. Low postnatal IGF-1 concentrations in preterm infants
Today, the innovation arena is open to a wider range of participants than previously acknowledged. One specifically neglected group of innovators in traditional innovation studies is non-R&D and non-managerial employees, also referred to as ‘ordinary’ employees by the existing body of literature on employee-driven innovation (EDI). These employees have no formal innovation function, meaning th
Diabetic wounds are problematic to heal owing to microbial infections as well as decreased proliferation and high concentrations of reactive oxygen species. In this study, a double-layered nanofibrous mat containing grape seed extract (GSE) and silver sulfadiazine (SSD) was fabricated. A synthetic biodegradable polymer, e.g., polycaprolactone (PCL), and a natural material (i.e., collagen) were emp
