The purpose of this study is to extend our knowledge of the elusive concept of innovation by investigating meanings and experiences of it among members in a small med-tech organization. This involves examining how individuals interpret and make sense of innovation and, if or how, they relate to their own organization as an innovative one. A single organization has been studied through an abductive

Samtliga elnätsbolag, inklusive Kraftringen, kommer till 2027 att behöva införa en ny priskomponent i nätavgiften, en tidsdifferentierad effektavgift som ska skapa incitament till hushåll att sprida ut sin förbrukning över dygnet. Under hösten och vintern 2022 steg elpriserna mycket och variationen i elpriset under dygnet var hög. Många hushåll gjorde därmed förändringar i sin elförbrukning för atAll grid companies, including Kraftringen, must until 2027 implement a new price component in the grid fee, a time differentiated effect fee which aims to create incentives for households to even out their electricity consumption over the day.

The ability to hear is essential for receiving auditory signals, which serve as warnings and alerts in many situations, including fire evacuation. However, people with hearing impairments may miss out such signals and can be exposed to dangerous situations. This is particularly relevant in scenarios where audible alarms are the primary form of alert, such as in fire scenarios, natural hazards, or

Kan man gestalta teologi i musik? Vi som kyrkomusiker spelar ofta musik som ska frambära ett teologiskt budskap i form av psalmer. Väldigt ofta spelar vi bara det som står i koralboken. Det är funktionellt, men jag tror att vi kan göra så mycket mer. I denna essä kommer jag undersöka hur man kan ta inspiration från J. S. Bachs orgelmusik och använda teologiska motiv i sitt eget liturgiska orgelspeIs it possible to portray theology through music? Church musicians often play music with a theological message, the hymns. Most of the times we play what is written in the hymnbook. It works fine, but I think we can do much more. In this essay I will investigate how you can be inspired by the organ music of J. S. Bach and use theological motives in the liturgical playing and through this strengthe

This research was done to analyse how different heat treatment processing conditions influence the properties of milk. The focus was on high temperature heat treatment, namely extended shelf life (ESL) and ultra-high temperature (UHT) milk. The milk processing was performed in the range of 124 - 143 ℃ for 1 and 4 seconds. The analyses that were done involved nutritional and technological propertie

Behandling av kroniska tarmsjukdomar Är PTPN23 lösningen vi har väntat på? Alla har vi sannolikt någon gång lidit av magproblem i form av smärta eller diarré. Att drabbas av kroniska tarmsjukdomar där besvären utgör en vardag är ett globalt problem, och trots att sjukdomarna är vanliga finns idag inget botemedel. I den här studien har vi undersökt om en eliminering av molekylen PTPN23 från makrofThe gastrointestinal tract encounters foreign antigens, commensal bacteria and nutrients on a daily basis. Under steady state conditions, a regulatory immune system maintains gut homeostasis. However, disruption of the balance between regulatory components and defeating invading pathogens leads to overshooting inflammatory reactions that can culminate in chronic and relapsing intestinal inflammati

Hur kan ägg hjälpa mot barncancer? Neuroblastom är en barncancerform. Bristen på sjukdomsmodeller har saktat ner framstegen och möjligheterna att förstå hur sjukdomen uppstår. Här kan vi presentera en människo-kycklingchimär som modell för att studera neuroblastom genom att använda embryon från hönsägg tillsammans med mänskliga celler. Neuroblastom (NB) är en cancerform som oftast drabbar småbaNeuroblastoma (NB) is a childhood cancer contributing to several cases of cancer related deaths in children every year. The oncogene MYCN is known to be related to a worse outcome in patients with NB and is found in approximately 20 % of the cases. MYCN is controlled during normal development, however in NB it is dysregulated. The understanding of NB has been hampered due to the lack of embryonic
