Although it is generally anticipated that innovation as such leads to regional prosperity (Asheim et al. 2011) there is lack of empirical evidence that confirms the direct linkage between the innovation capabilities of regions and welfare increase. It is suggested that entrepreneurship can be seen as a missing link that helps to transfer innovations into business outcomes (Braun et al. 2012). The
Knowledge may be treated analogous to evolutionary processes. This view of knowledge has certain advantages compared to more traditional views. In particular, it allows the knowledge to be extended without the involvement of a separate agent. This means, in turn, that the problem of knowledge acquisition, known as Meno’s dilemma, is avoided. The purpose of this paper is to discuss how an evolution
This report has been compiled within the framework of the programme on Regional Air Pollution in Developing Countries (RAPIDC), Phase III, conducted during the period 2005-2008. RAPIDC has been funded by the Department of Infrastructure and Economic Cooperation (INEC) of the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA). It is coordinated by the Stockholm Environmental Institute (SEI
A paradigm shift is emerging in universities especially regarding how personalized and collaborative mobile learning should be addressed. Recently three international benchmarking projects on quality of e-learning in higher education have been carried out by Lund University in Sweden. These showed that quality has to be valued from a holistic perspective and to a higher extent from learning dimens
Due to potential benefits of high energy conversion efficiency and low noise/pollution, fuel cells have attracted many application areas. In general, fuel cells can be applied on-board ships as emergency power supply, electric energy generation, power output for propulsion or where appropriate, a combination of these uses. In this paper, a brief summary is presented for various fuel cells and thei

Contemporary economic landscapes are particularly active with mergers, acquisitions, bankruptcies, and corporate takeovers, and the set of managerial elite who are in decision making positions are inextricably connected to these events. In this thesis I offer an anthropological perspective of these dynamics by considering the possible connection between processes of trans- national capitalist elit
The Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning is accompanied every year by a shared task whose purpose is to promote natural language processing applications and evaluate them in a standard setting. In 2008 the shared task was dedicated to the joint parsing of syntactic and semantic dependencies. This shared task not only unifies the shared tasks of the previous four years under a uniq
In Truffaut's film Fahrenheit 451 there is a scene showing some people learning to recite the great classics by heart - this is an image of the use of literary criticism - it is an undertaking necessary to preserve, interprete and evaluate literature - writing becomes language first when it is read.This is the use of the not useful.
In the present paper, recordings of ‘Swedish on multilingual ground’ from three different cities in Sweden are compared and discussed.
The aim of this thesis was to elucidate the role of nitric oxide (NO) in the transduction signalling of insulin and glucagon release by stimulating or inhibiting islet endogenous NO-production as well as by using NO donors. Insulin release stimulated by L-arginine, the substrate for constitutive NO-synthase (cNOS)-catalyzed NO-production, was increased by the selective NOS-inhibitor NG-nitro-L-arg
Popular Abstract in Swedish Vad har jag gjort de senaste åren? Och varför? Det är det många som har undrat. Så stundtals även jag. Vad jag skriver nedan syftar inte till att förklara detta, utan är bara ämnat som en kort introduktion. Jag har de senaste åren jobbat med gener och proteiner från både växter och bakterier. Både gener och proteiner är väldigt små saker, men även den minsta lilla sak This thesis deals with the structure and function of two different enzymes, ferrochelatase and magnesium chelatase, that catalyse similar reactions. When this work started, a three-dimensional model of ferrochelatase existed. Much was known about the enzyme, but some details remained unclear. The focus has been to establish where the metal and the porphyrin binds to the enzyme, and how they are pu
