This paper describes and discusses learning in repeated acquisitions of innovative firms. Researchers have pointed to how companies may improve performance through conducting repeated acquisitions, while they have not previously focused on repeated acquisitions of innovative firms. Findings of this present study are summarised in five learnings: forming a professional organisation that deals with
A search for Higgs boson pair production [Formula: see text] is performed with 19.5 fb[Formula: see text] of proton-proton collision data at [Formula: see text] TeV, which were recorded by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider in 2012. The decay products of each Higgs boson are reconstructed as a high-momentum [Formula: see text] system with either a pair of small-radius jets or a single
Background The effectiveness of cervical cancer screening programs differs widely in different populations. The reasons for these differences are unclear. Routine and comprehensive audits have been proposed as an ethically required component of screening. We performed a nationwide audit of the effectiveness of the Swedish cervical cancer screening program. Methods We identified all invasive cervic
In this paper railway accident investigation reports issued by the national accident investigation boards in three Scandinavian countries during a 2-year period have been systematically studied. Content analysis of attributed causes in these reports reveals a considerable emphasis on physical processes, actor activities and equipment (the microlevel). Much less attention is paid to organisational
Fodor is infamous for his radical conceptual nativism, McDowell likewise well-known for suggesting that concepts extend “all the way out” into the world and arguing against what he calls (per Sellars) The Myth of the Given: the idea that non-conceptual percepts justify conceptual frameworks. One need not go so far as either researcher, however, in allowing merit to their arguments. It seems we are
In this prospective nested case-control study we analyzed the circumferential differences in estimated cortical thickness (Est CTh) of the mid femoral neck as a risk factor for osteoporotic hip fractures in elderly women and men. Segmental QCT analysis of the mid femoral neck was applied to assess cortical thickness in anatomical quadrants. The superior region of the femoral neck was a stronger pr
Centrum för Öresundsstudiers tidskrift "Gränslös. Tidskrift för studier av Öresundsregionens historia, kultur och samhällsliv" ger ut ett specialnummer som fokuserar på ett bortglömt perspektiv i visioner om och analyser av Öresundsregionen – funktionsförmåga. I visionen om Öresundsregionen är det i regel ett friktionsfritt, transnationellt flöde av kroppar som lyfts fram. Visionerna utgår från en
Zero-point vibrational contributions to indirect spin-spin coupling constants for N 2, CO, HF, H 2O, C 2H 2, and CH 4 are calculated via explicitly anharmonic approaches. Thermal averages of indirect spin-spin coupling constants are calculated for the same set of molecules and for C 2X 4, X = H, F, Cl. Potential energy surfaces have been calculated on a grid of points and analytic representations
In January 2005, south-west Sweden was hit by a severe storm that caused large damage to the forests through massive windthrow. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of this windthrow on nitrate concentrations in the soil water below the root zone on 33 forest monitoring plots within the Swedish Throughfall Monitoring Network (SWETHRO). These sites were damaged to different extents by the
Popular Abstract in Swedish År 2008 insjuknade 37 156 personer i akut hjärtinfarkt i Sverige och av dessa dog 10 509 personer. Akut hjärtinfarkt är därmed den vanligaste dödsorsaken i Sverige, men även i resten av världen. Generellt sett insjuknar män ungefär 10 år tidigare än kvinnor i hjärtinfarkt och män har därför en högre total risk att insjukna, även om hjärtinfarkt är den vanligaste dödsorsThe overall aim of this thesis was to explore how the risk for AMI, and the associations between several of its risk factors, differs by gender. Information was collected from four Swedish cohorts: one patient cohort from Skara (1992-1993, n=1149) and three population-based cohorts, i.e. from Skara (1993-1994, n=1109), Vara (2001-2004, n=1811), and Skövde (2003-2005, n=1005). Participants were exa
The aim of this thesis was to contribute to the understanding of aspects related to home, health and participation for community living people with disability and identify different groups with different needs for interventions. Study I used focus groups to explore aspects of importance for participation. Twenty-nine people with Parkinson’s Disease participated in nine focus groups. Studies II-III
The connection between the electronic polarizability and the decrease of the system size from macroscopic solid to nanoscale clusters has been addressed in a combined experimental and model-calculation study. A beam of free neutral potassium chloride clusters has been probed using synchrotron-radiation-based photoelectron spectroscopy. The introduction of "effective" polarizability for chlorine, l
The viability of modern open science norms and practices depends on public disclosure of new knowledge, methods, and materials. However, increasing industry funding of research can restrict the dissemination of results and materials. We show, through a survey sample of 837 German scientists in life sciences, natural sciences, engineering, and social sciences, that scientists who receive industry f
