Study on value creation for acquiring companies in Sweden in the years 2002-2009. The study is carried out by using both event- and accounting study methodology and the value creation is studied in short, medium and long-term. We find significant positive average abnormal returns of 2.82% at the announcement, which is steady until 5 days post the announcement. We find no significant abnormal chang

The global transition to renewable energies is increasingly driven by wind energy, which now experiences its biggest growth in the emerging and developing countries. The development of large-scale wind farms raises concerns over often neglected territorial and social dimensions of wind energy development – important issues in areas like the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, southern Mexico, where indigenous

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Genen MYCN kodar för N-Myc, ett protein som fungerar som transkriptionsfaktor, det vill säga det kontrollerar vilka gener som transkriberas aktivt från DNA till RNA. Många neuroendokrina tumörer, speciellt neuroblastoma, uppvisar ofta onormalt höga nivåer av N-Myc, och eftersom N-Myc startar transkriptionen av många gener som är viktiga för cellens delning, tillvThe gene MYCN encodes a transcription factor with a fundamental role in many neuroendocrine tumors, especially neuroblastoma. The gene and protein are very similar to the closely related c-Myc protein, except for the 3´untranslated region (3´UTR), suggesting that it may be an important factor in determining their very different expression pattern at the post-transcriptional level. MicroRNA (miRNA)

I Sverige drabbas omkring 300 barn av cancer varje år och majoriteten av dem är bara fyra-fem år gamla när de får sin diagnos. Omkring två tredjedelar av barncancerdiagnoserna utgörs av leukemier, lymfom och hjärntumörer, medan den sista tredjedelen är olika solida tumörformer som njurtumörer och nervvävnadstumörer i buken. Cancersjukvårdens utveckling under de senaste årtiondena har medfört en avPurpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of including PET (Positron Emission Tomography) in the process of pediatric radiation therapy planning. The aim was to study the effect on target volumes and how this in turn affects the resulting treatment plans. This study also aims to compare the estimated risks of various long-term complications and how the use of PET influences the

(“Sources of soil dissolved organic carbon in a mixed agricultural and forested watershed in Rwanda”, [6]) This data article presents water extractable organic carbon (WEOC), percolation water dissolved organic carbon (pDOC), and mean antecedent precipitation indices (API) and mean antecedent temperature (MAT) data. The article also presents edaphic properties such soil texture elements, total org

Measurements achieved with ptychographic imaging are a special case of diffraction measurements. They are generated by illuminating small parts of a sample with, e.g., a focused X-ray beam. By shifting the sample, a set of far-field diffraction patterns of the whole sample is then obtained. From a mathematical point of view those measurements are the squared modulus of the windowed Fourier transfo

This study presents the main features of the Swedish approach for resolving the banking crisis of 1991-93 by condensing them into seven policy lessons. These concern (1) the importance of political unity behind the resolution policy, (2) a government blanket guarantee of the financial obligations of the banking system, (3) swift policy action where acting early was more important than acting in e

Several experiments were conducted at the 10 MV Van-de-Graaff tandem accelerator at the Institute of Nuclear Physics, Cologne, to detect proton emission from the isomeric 6457-keV 10+ state in 54Ni. Excitation functions for two fusion–evaporation reactions were measured to maximise the population of the rare two-neutron evaporation channel from a 56Ni compound nucleus. The search for delayed proto

Brake-related particulate matter contributes considerably to the non-exhaust emissions of the transport sector in urban areas of the world. The airborne particle emissions from automotive brakes currently lack any proper regulations. Future regulations require test stands, test cycles and particle instruments to be suitable for measuring the brake emissions. This present work focuses on the design

OBJECTIVES: Infantile hemangiomas (IHs) are common; some cases require timely referral and treatment to prevent complications. We developed and validated a reliable instrument for timely and adequate referral of patients with IH to experts by nonexpert primary physicians. METHODS: In this multicenter, cross-sectional, observational study, we used a 3-stage process: (1) development of the Infantile

Fixed-target experiments using primary electron beams can be powerful discovery tools for light dark matter in the sub-GeV mass range. The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is designed to measure missing momentum in high-rate electron fixed-target reactions with beam energies of 4 GeV to 16 GeV. A prerequisite for achieving several important sensitivity milestones is the capability to efficientl

Shrunken pore syndrome (SPS) is defined by a cystatin C-based estimation of glomerular filtration rate (eGFRCYS) being less than 60% or 70% of a creatinine-based GFR estimation (eGFRCR) in the absence of extrarenal influences on cystatin C or creatinine concentrations. SPS has been associated with a substantial increase in mortality or morbidity in all investigated populations. However, in these s

BACKGROUND: Problem behaviours are common among people with intellectual disabilities (ID), but psychometrically evaluated instruments for assessing such behaviours are scarce. The present study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Neuropsychiatric Inventory-Intellectual Disability (NPI-ID).METHOD: We assessed 108 residents with intellectual disabilities living in group-homes using the NPI

Dung beetles can perform a number of versatile behaviours, including walking and dung ball rolling. While different walking and running gaits of dung beetles have been described in previous literature, little is known about their ball rolling gaits. From behavioural experiments and video recordings of the beetle Scarabaeus (Kheper) lamarcki, we analysed and identified four underlying rules for leg

A high quality benchmark for small variants encompassing 88 to 90% of the reference genome has been developed for seven Genome in a Bottle (GIAB) reference samples. However a reliable benchmark for large indels and structural variants (SVs) is more challenging. In this study, we manually curated 1235 SVs, which can ultimately be used to evaluate SV callers or train machine learning models. We deve

Evacuation models generally tend to make over-simplifications in the representation of human behaviour in fire due to the difficulties to capture its complexity. This work shows how ‘new’ discrete choice model approaches allow overcoming this issue. A description of the existing state-of-the-art of discrete choice models is introduced to highlight the potential of those models. Three case studies
