This study is motivated by the understanding that entrepreneurship varies from one context to another as there are distinctive factors that influence the development and organization of entrepreneurial activities in any particular national context. Using qualitative methodology the study aims at developing a conceptual and empirical framework for the study and understanding of the phenomenon of en

Using sticky traps baited with (2S, 3S, 7S)-3,7-dimethyl-2-pentadecyl acetate, we assessed the seasonal and diurnal flight activity of the European pine sawfly, Neodiprion sertifer (Geoffrey), in Fayette, Madison, and Livingston counties in Kentucky. At each site, two replicates of individual sticky traps were baited and suspended about 1 m high and spaced at least 20 m apart. Trap catch was affec

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen handlar om hur radiovågor tar sig fram i miljöer där saker som hus, väggar och fönster är i vägen. Framför allt ligger fokus på hur signalen från en sändare placerad utomhus kan nå fram till en mobil terminal (t. ex. en mobiltelefon) som befinner sig inomhus. Hur mycket signalen dämpas när den passerar väggen är av stor betydelse när man ska avgöra hur långThis thesis deals with radio wave propagation in environments where the propagation is severely influenced by surrounding objects, mainly walls and other building structures. As an introduction, a brief description is given on propagation terms like loss, delay and dispersion along with system functions relevant for the topic. The focus is then placed on propagation from an outdoor transmitter to

Background: The use of global gene expression profiling to identify sets of genes with similar expression patterns is rapidly becoming a widespread approach for understanding biological processes. A logical and systematic approach to study co-expressed genes is to analyze their promoter sequences to identify transcription factors that may be involved in establishing specific profiles and that may

Steady-state and transient-state kinetic experiments have been performed to test the proposal that there is a direct (channelled) transfer of NADH from glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase to alcohol dehydrogenase. The results lend no support to this proposal, but can be best explained in terms of a free-diffusion mechanism for NADH transfer between the two enzymes.

Purpose: To describe the phenotype using electroretinography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) in members of two families with different mutations in RDS. Methods: DNA was extracted from blood samples and used for mutation screening by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) and nucleotide sequencing of RDS exons. Patients were examined with clinical evaluation, full-field electroreti

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling behandlar ämnesområdet integritet i arbetslivet. Individer i ett modernt samhälle har anspråk på respekt eller icke angrepp inom sitt intresseområde. Arbetslivet utgör ett exempel på ett sådant område. Min utgångspunkt då jag behandlar ämnet är främst individens (arbetstagarens) prima-facie anspråk på respekt, icke angrepp inom sitt intresseområde. IntThis dissertation deals with personal privacy in working life. Humans have legitimate expectations and claims to respect for and non-interference with personal privacy in many areas and stages of life. The work place is just one of them. The point departure when dealing with privacy matters at the workplace is primarily the claim by individual employees to respect for and non-interference with the

The use of imprinted polymers for selective solid-phase extraction of local anaesthetics from human plasma was investigated. Methacrylic acid-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate based MIPs were developed by the alternative template approach using a structural analogue, pentycaine, as the template. The influence of the type and concentration of detergent in the buffer on selective and non-specific bindi

This article outlines a numerical study on the benefit of using high-performance and high-strength concrete (HPC/HSC) for fabrication of concrete elements. A comparison is made between the cost of existing beams with normal strength concrete and optimized beams made of HPC/HSC. Background is given concerning the most essential properties of HPC/HSC such as strength, creep, shrinkage, carbonation,

This thesis investigates three construction types in Swedish where two (or more) verbs display identical inflectional morphology (COPYING) and share one overt subject. The constructions are referred to as (i) T(ENSE)M(OOD)A(SPECT)-COPYING complements, of the form John started and wrote (John started writing), (ii) PARTICIPLE COPYING complements, of the form John had been-able written (John had bee

A concept based on the Peroxidase-chip (P-chip), antibody co-immobilization, competitive and enzyme-channeling principle was exploited to develop an integrated flow-through amperometric biosensor for detection of environmental pollutants such as s-triazine herbicides. In this concept, recombinant peroxidase is immobilized on the gold electrode (P-chip) in such a way that direct electron transfer i

Popular Abstract in Swedish 'Ordekvilibristen Anthony Burgess firar triumfer i sin nya bok' - 'Nadine Gordimer har sällan skrivit en mer förtätad prosa'. Kritikerberömmet ger intrycket att Burgess och Gordimer har skrivit sina böcker direkt på svenska. I själva verket har de svenska formuleringarna åstadkommits av en översättare. I föreliggande avhandling undersöker jag vad som händer när ett sköWhose text is a work of fiction in translation? The aim of this thesis is to examine what happens to a novel when it is translated from one language into another. By analysing the Swedish translations of six contemporary novels written in English I attempt to identify what I refer to as the translator´s voice. The translations have been made by two of Sweden´s most highly thought-of translators, E
