Corporate mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have established themselves as prominent tools for corporate strategy. Consequently more and more organizations direct their attention towards the potential benefits of an M&A and the problems of leveraging these potentials. Managing information systems (IS) integration in M&A means understanding the dynamic relationship between IS integration a
Sektionen Forskning, samverkan och innovation (FSI) omfattar idag fyra avdelningar - LU Innovation, Forskningsservice, Samverkan och Development Office. På sektionen arbetar 86 personer. FSI är också värd för Swelife, Lärosäten Syds kontor i Bryssel samt är länkad till LU Ventures AB. FSI ger stöd till forskare, externa samarbetspartners och ledning i frågor som rör forskningsfinansiering, finThe Research, Collaboration and Innovation division (FSI) consists of four offices: LU Innovation, Research Services, the Cooperation office and the Development Office.

Air emissions are becoming a larger problem in today’s society and therefore the limits are getting stricter. This means that chemical-producing industries which create multiple byproducts, acting like air pollutants, requires to improve their emission limiting systems. Johnson Matthey Formox AB is a company who sells licenses and catalysts for formaldehyde production by the FORMOXTM process. Prod
In times of major global interconnectedness and environmental change, the pressure to identify, create, and exploit new resources is certain to intensify. Given that there are unavoidable trade-offs, conflicts, and arenas for violence involved when increasingly more material and immaterial things are turned into resources, we call for explicit research on the very process – a process that we label
This paper evaluates the history and cycling accessibility of Nova, a shopping centre established in Lund, Sweden, in 2002. The current situation was also analysed through observation and a literature review. Moreover, the study conducted a closer analysis of the history and role of the municipality based on further literature study and interviews with officials. The conclusion of the analysis ind
The world of creating new software is currently going more and more towards being as fast and agile as possible to be able to adapt to changing customer demands. The design process of new software should reflect that, which doesn't leave much time for scheduling user tests in person. How can feedback from users be gathered in a scalable way, and the design of a product be made using a fail-fas
The dissertation is about management of equipment maintenance in manufacturing firms. The overall research objective is to describe how maintenance interacts with manufacturing and explain how it contributes to high performance of organisations. It reports findings from eight papers, each dealing with parts of the overall objective. The empirical data is collected from two surveys to Swedish manu
Introduction: A new-born with congenital heart disease requires care that involves numerous specialists. Such care can be provided at tertiary referral hospitals and transportation is often needed. A crucial factor is the handover process, when the child is born at a distance, with transfer of both professional responsibility and continued care from one healthcare professional to another. Aim: The
The aim of this paper is to outline a process-based approach to the historical trajectory of commercialising cities that can account for continuity and change in a city’s image. Previous research involving historical approaches to the commercialisation of places are typically underpinned by a view of history as linear and chronological. By contrast, the present study adopts a performative view of
A measurement of the Standard Model Higgs boson produced in association with a W or Z boson and decaying into a pair of τ-leptons is presented. This search is based on proton-proton collision data collected at s=13 TeV by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1. For the Higgs boson candidate, only final states with at least one τ-lepton decaying hadron
Obesity and diabetes are known to impact brain function and alter metabolism. Studies in rodents show that consumption of high fat and high sugar diets lead to brain dysfunction affecting memory and cognition, and increases risk of cerebro-vascular and neurodegenerative disorders. Striatum, which is involved in reward-based behaviour and motor control, undergoes changes on exposure to such diets l
After four years of independence, Kosovo continues to face severe social, political and economic challenges that pose several threats to the development and legitimacy of the new state. A field study was carried out in Kosovo in January–March 2012 with the purpose of creating a deeper understanding of the state-building process and test Alan Whaites’s theory of responsive and unresponsive state-

Our aim was to describe patient flows in mandibular third molar surgery at ora I and maxillofacial specialist units. Our hypothesis was that there are variations in how care is delivered and that the variations could be explained by inter-individual variations in surgeons' practice,the quality of the radiographs appended to the referral, and the staffing of the specialist units. A flow chart was c
Twenty-four children (aged 5 months to 18 years) who were admitted to a university hospital were observed for a total of 135 hours with the aim of describing their degree of participation in decisions concerning their own care. Grading of their participation was made by using a 5-point scale. An assessment was also made of what was considered as optimal participation in each situation. The results
This thesis is based on the work that was done during 1992--1996 at the DELPHI detector at LEP. Its main parts are outlined below. The brief Introduction gives an overview of the science of Particle Physics, its development and contemporary status. The first chapter represents an introduction to the DELPHI detector at LEP, describing the main features of the LEP machine and the DELPHI detector a
