Abstract: The FIFA World Cup, together with the Summer Olympic Games, are the two events classified as sports mega-events (SMEs), characterized by their global outreach and different types of costs. Within the SME realm, a paradoxical trend can be seen; they show stronger sustainability agendas, yet generate higher social, economic, and environmental costs. The overarching question is their legaci

Företagsekonomiska institutionen är en av Sveriges ledande miljöer för utbildning och forskning kring det som rör företag och förvaltningars ekonomi. Här bedrivs en aktiv och avancerad forskning inom entreprenörskap, finans, forskningspolitik, marknadsföring, organisation och ledarskap, redovisning och strategi. Företagsekonomi kan både läsas som fristående kurs och tillsammans med andra ämnen inoThe Department of Business Administration is one of the largest departments at Lund University, and is also the largest department of the School of Economics and Management. With its six departments the EQUIS accredited School of Economics and Management offers high quality education and conducts cutting-edge research in all areas related to the private and public economy.

The predicament in which we find ourselves today is that many professionals lack a sufficient grounding in formal methods, tools and techniques to enable them to make an appropriate selection for different kinds of problem. This can mean that complexity remains unrecognized and ambiguous problem situations are addressed as if they were clear and straightforward, resulting in inadequate solutions t

Artificial Intelligence in Cardiothoracic Science was funded 2006. Traditionally, medical decisions are based on the combined strength of clinical facts and the experience of the clinician. A growing understanding of the molecular, genetic and biochemical basis of diseases have greatly increased the degree of complexity in medical decision-making.

The meiotic functions of Emi2, an inhibitor of the APC/C complex, have been best characterized in oocytes where it mediates metaphase II arrest as a component of the cytostatic factor. We generated knockout mice to determine the in vivo functions of Emi2—in particular, its functions in the testis, where Emi2 is expressed at high levels. Male and female Emi2 knockout mice are viable but sterile, in

Perlecan is a heparansulfate proteoglycan found in basement membranes, cartilage, and several mesenchymal tissues that form during development, tumour growth, and tissue repair. Loss-of-function mutations in the perlecan gene in mice are associated with embryonic lethality caused primarily by cardiac abnormalities probably due to hemopericards. The aim of the present study was to investigate the m

Neurocan is a component of the extracellular matrix in brain. Due to its inhibition of neuronal adhesion and outgrowth in vitro and its expression pattern in vivo it was suggested to play an important role in axon guidance and neurite growth. To study the role of neurocan in brain development we generated neurocan-deficient mice by targeted disruption of the neurocan gene. These mice are viable an

This paper discusses how various actors communicate about and coordinate sea rescue activities in networks. We combine a network approach with theories of inter-organization communication to understand how communication can facilitate or limit coordination in networks. Search and rescue officers retain the overall authority to direct rescue missions, and coordination with several other professions

It is obviously expected that sustainable development is the primary target to raise prosperity and life standards of nations. It is necessary to ensure social, political, and economic stability. But what about the stimulus factors that motivate sustainable development? Can income inequality be one of them? Some literature has examined the role of income distribution on economic growth, but to te

Genetiskt modifierade T celler, kända som CAR-T celler, fungerar som cancerriktade missiler, utformade för att specifikt lokalisera och eliminera tumörceller. Nuvarande versioner har visat enastående framgång i vissa blodcancerformer, men tyvärr är de ineffektiva i andra cancertyper, såsom solida tumörer och andra blodcancerformer. Denna begränsning härstammar främst från bristen på verkligt canceGenetically modified T cells, known as CAR T cells, function like cancer-targeting missiles, designed to specifically locate and eliminate tumor cells, providing promising prospects for more effective cancer therapies. While current iterations have demonstrated unprecedented success in certain blood cancers, they have proven ineffective in other cancer types, such as solid tumors and various blood
