The author analyzes the differences between Chinese female entrepreneurs and their male counterparts and also looks at how these differences affect company performance. The author’s study shows that Chinese female entrepreneurs are more risk averse, have less horizontal social capital, are less innovative and make more major decisions by themselves, compared to their male counterparts. There is no
Paying privately for childcare is a growing phenomenon, and its rise in Sweden is particularly interesting because of the vast prevalence there of publicly funded day care. This book combines family practice and childhood studies theory with the personal perspectives of nannies and au pairs, parents, and the children themselves, to provide new understandings of what constitutes ‘good care’. The au
PurposeHealthcare organizations increasingly rely on measurement practices to assess and improve care quality. However, how “quality” is conceptualized across different levels of the healthcare system remains unclear. This study explores perceptions of quality and quality indicators in intensive care, using two Swedish ICUs as case studies.Design/methodology/approachThe study examines two general
This study investigates understandings of the concept of ‘participation’ within the context of a Swedish school, focusing on the differing perspectives of teachers, students, and school leaders. Despite a long-standing tradition in Sweden of recognizing children’s rights to influence their education, there remains considerable variation in how participation is understood and implemented among variThis study investigates understandings of the concept of ‘participation’ within the context of a Swedish school, focusing on the differing perspectives of teachers, students, and school leaders.

The statistical relation between ocean wave geometry and water particle movements can be formulated in the stochastic Gauss-Lagrange model. In this paper we use Slepian models to get detailed information of the sea surface elevation in the neighbourhood of local maxima in a Gaussian wave model and of the movements of the top particle of the waves. We present full conditional distributions of the GThe statistical relation between ocean wave geometry and water particle movements can be formulated in the stochastic Gauss-Lagrange model.

It is well-known and experimentally conrmed that the mechanical re-sponse to loading of small enough structures diers from what applies to themacro-scale. This is valid for structures of linear measures at the nano-scale,typically below about 50nm. In addition to pure size eects also the crys-tallographic orientation becomes important at this scale. This study demon-strates the mechanical response
Developing systems by integrating Open Source Software (OSS) is increasingly gaining importance in the software industry. Although the literature claims that this approach highly impacts Requirements Engineering (RE) practices, there is a lack of empirical evidence to demonstrate this statement.

The possibility that structural changes in international trade might impact countries differently has been a matter of great concern for many observers from the 1950s onwards, and the view that the specialisation pattern of a country in international trade matters for its economic performance has been widespread. This paper analyses the structural changes in international trade from the 1960s omwa
Freeze-drying is the preferred method to manufacture proteins in their solid state thus the understanding of the relationship between cycle parameters and cake properties remains of great interest. The present study aims to investigate the influence of the freezing conditions in the material properties at different layers throughout the dried structure, in the presence and absence of a protein. Pl
The Baltic Sea coast is a primary recreation and tourism space for both the Swedish population and incoming tourists, not least from neighbouring countries. Depending on the geographical preconditions, activities in the littoral zone comprise both typical beach activities and boating, and bohemian lifestyle. Second homes are a common form of accommodation, attracting Swedes to the shore during sum
The democratic implications of environmental policy instruments, is a complex matter of theoretical and normative questions, this paper aims to explore. The purpose is to analyse how different governance tools like regulatory and market-based instruments, relate to central democratic values in environmental policymaking. Rather than treating policy instruments as neutral technical tools, the study
This master thesis is a subproject of a research project run by Markaryds Metallamatur AB (MMA), the department industrial production at Lunds Technical University, Chalmers Technical University, The University at Halmstad and Oerlikon Balzers Sandvik Coating AB. The research project includes research about material properties, machining and a cost analysis of different brass compositions, primari
