We have made a thesis about Collaboration for Innovation in the Öresund region from a Swedish perspective. The thesis is taking both regional and corporate aspects into consideration when studying this subject. The empiric material is based upon several interviews with persons having knowledge about our subject as well as a web survey including 49 companies situated in the Öresund region. We have
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a fairly new concept that acknowledges the social and environmental responsibility of Multinational Corporations (MNCs). This thesis sets out to investigate the incentives for Multinational Corporations to engage in CSR and, if they choose to do so, what effects such an engagement has on development in the host country of investments. The study focuses on d
The construction sector has been criticised in recent years for being inefficient. The critique involved describes finished buildings as having flaws and there being a lack of interest within the construction sector in assembling knowledge and sharing experience. The construction industry has started working with questions of how efficiency can be increased by reducing the errors made. Knowledge
Close international collaboration between pediatric oncologists has led to marked improvements in the cure of patients, seen as a long-term overall survival rate of about 80%. Despite this progress, neuroblastoma remains a challenging disease for both clinicians and researchers. Major clinical problems include lack of acceptable cure rates in high-risk neuroblastoma and potential overtreatment of
Popular Abstract in Swedish Atomspektra har varit ett viktigt forskningsområde inom fysiken sedan mitten av 1800-talet. Då elektromagnetisk strålning, såsom synligt ljus, ultraviolett- och röntgenstrålning, är unik för varje grundämne ger ett observerat spektrum information om vilka slags atomer som emitterar strålningen. Exempelvis så visar spektra av ett vanligt lysrör att ljuset kommer från kviThe spectra of highly charged tungsten ions have been investigated using x-ray and extreme ultraviolet spectroscopy. These heavy ions are of interest in relativistic atomic structure theory, where high-precision wavelength measurements benchmark theoretical approaches, and in magnetic fusion research, where the ions may serve to diagnose high-temperature plasmas. The work details spectroscopic in
This article aims to expand our understanding of projectification in Swedish municipalities. Above all the article explores to what extent processes of projectification can be identified and if so how they unfold. The article draws its inspiration from critical management studies and uses the notion of sensemaking to identify the practices of projectification processes. Three processes of projecti
Landforming processes are highly active in the Arctic, and luminescence dating can be used to establish a chronological framework for these processes. For example, luminescence ages of raised littoral and marine deposits provide the age control for many reconstructions of Pleistocene events in the Arctic. Due to the nature of the depositional environment (e.g. short transport distance, turbid wate
Travel in the footsteps of cinema is an expanding market, both in Sweden and internationally. Travel habits are changing, and the fact of a good number of people planning their journeys in order to follow in the footsteps of fictitiousn characters, or alternatively follow a particular route in order to experience first-hand something they saw at the cinema or on television, has become an important
Popular Abstract in Swedish Inom många olika fält hyllas dialogen. Det finns en stark och utbredd tro, främst i det västerländska samhället, att lyckas man bara upprätta en dialog kan man planera i samförstånd och lösa problem. Människor talar med varandra för att förstå, hjälpa varandra och för att skapa gemensamma värden och målsättningar. I studiet av samtal upptäcker man emellertid snabbt att In the spring of 1997 a group of parents of deaf and hearing-impaired children and representatives of a special school in the south of Sweden began to hold formally arranged meetings in order to start a “dialogue”. This particular form of collaboration became the focus of this study. The meetings lasted two to three hours and I attended seventeen of them. The transcriptions of those meetings form
This study is an attempt to examine Martin Luther’s Christology in relation to postmodern Christology. It explores the Christology of Jan-Olav Henriksen in order to answer how his postmodern Christology can be compared to that of Luther, with emphasis on their views on the two natures of Christ in life and death on the cross. What are the similarities and differences between the two theologians’ C
The purpose and goals of this essay is to investigate and explain the Late Mesolithic site at Norrjevägen in Kämpinge from a technological perspective. The foundation of the essay is two private collections of surface finds, found and gathered by Leif Brost, who owns and run the Amber Museum in Kämpinge, and Paul Matsson, amateur archaeologist from Trelleborg. The collections consist of 5331 surfa

Encouraging innovation is becoming more important for countries in order to sustain economic growth, performance and competitiveness in a world of fierce marketplace competition. However, previous studies and research reveal that there is a worldwide decline in innovation within organizations. This paper seeks to discover what’s behind this, and what’s hindering knowledge intensive firms from bein
Flux footprint models are often used for interpretation of flux tower measurements, to estimate position and size of surface source areas, and the relative contribution of passive scalar sources to measured fluxes. Accurate knowledge of footprints is of crucial importance for any upscaling exercises from single site flux measurements to local or regional scale. Hence, footprint models are ultimate
This paper reports an investigation of a highly stratified methanol direct injection spark ignition (DISI) engine with a high compression ratio. The effects of the start of injection (SOI), spray-included angle, injection pressure, and spark timing (ST) on in-cylinder flow, fuel distribution, flame propagation, and engine performance are evaluated in detail. The combustion process of methanol DISI
The parameters to extract polysaccharide-enriched fractions (PEF) from mushrooms using MAE (microwave-assisted extraction) were adjusted following a full factorial 3 2 experimental design. The highest yield and total carbohydrate values, using Lentinula edodes as model mushroom, were obtained at 180 °C and 30 min. Several mushroom species were submitted to MAE and their PEF yields ranged between
This study is an extension of previous studies, Hagnell (1991) and Hagnell(1996), where the data used are annual time series for the whole of Sweden during the period 1751-1850 for the crude birth rate, the death rate for ages 20-50 years, the crude marriage rate and an index of the real wages. The aim of the study of Hagnell (1991) was to investigate the relationships between ferility, adult mort
This thesis presents studies of solar wind-magnetosphere coupling using dynamic neural networks in combination with statistically correlative analysis. The primary contribution of the thesis is dynamic neural network models that can be implemented for near real-time predictions of geomagnetic storms from the solar wind alone. With acceptable accuracy, the prediction time has been extended up to 5
Popular Abstract in Swedish Bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancerformen hos västerländska kvinnor. I Sverige kommer var tionde kvinna att drabbas av bröstcancer, vilket motsvarar drygt 5000 kvinnor om året. Dödligheten i bröstcancer är 30%. Detta innebär att en tredjedel av de som drabbas kommer att dö av sin sjukdom. Det är dock inte själva tumören i bröstet som dödar eftersom denna i princip alltBreast cancer is one of the most common cancer forms in the industrialized world. Only in Sweden, nearly 6000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year and 1/3 of them eventually succumb to the disease. Wnts are a family of genes that have been implicated in many human tumours, so far mainly studied in colorectal cancer where activated Wnt signalling occurs in a vast majority of tumours. Wh
This study investigates grammatical development in foreign and second language learners of Swedish. The hypothesis is that the hierarchy of processability predicted by Processability Theory (Pienemann 1998) guides both written and spoken learner production. The data was collected from 9 foreign language learners studying Swedish at Melbourne University and 11 second language learners studying Swed
