Popular Abstract in Swedish Den här avhandlingen innehåller tre uppsatser som analyserar lärande och lagarbete ur olika infallsvinklar. Den första uppsatsen behandlar träningen och rekryteringen av fotbollspelare i de europeiska fotbollsligorna. Innan 1995 fanns ett transfereringssystem som garanterade en övergångssumma mellan det nya och det gamla laget när en spelare bytte klubb. Denna övergångThis thesis consists of three theoretical essays on the acquisition of skills in teams. The first essay deals with the training and recruitment of football players in the European Soccer leagues. Before 1995, the transfer system entitled the ceding football club compensation from the acquiring football club when, on the expiry of his contract, the player in question moved to another club. In 1995,

Popular Abstract in Swedish Målsättningen med föreliggande studie är att belysa det komplexa och varierade bruket av skogliga utmarker under järnålder, medeltid och tidig modern tid. Fysiska lämningar från landskapet Värmland i västra Sverige undersöks, med särskilt fokus på lokalsamhällena Dalby och Gunnarskog. De fysiska lämningarna i fokus för denna studie är främst fångstgropar för älg, lågtekThe aim of this study is to illuminate the complex and varied uses of the forested outlands, from the Iron Age, through the Middle Ages, to Early Modern times. Material evidence from the landscape of Värmland, in Western Sweden, will be examined, focusing on the local societies of Dalby and Gunnarskog. Evidence for the reconstruction of outland activities comes from a range of sites, including pit

Background: Selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR) is an operation method that decreases the degree of spasticity with long-lasting beneficial effects for children with spastic diplegia. Children undergoing SDR are postoperatively in severe pain, a pain related to both the extensive surgical exposure with multilevel laminectomy and the nerve root manipulation. Various pain management strategies for chil

Antibody response to Campylobacter jejuni/coli (CJC) was investigated, using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, ELISA. With a mixture of lipopolysaccharide from two CJC strains as antigen in ELISA, all 24 tested rabbit anti-CJC sera showed high antibody levels. However, only 70% of sera from patients with Campylobacter enteritis demonstrated an antibody response against the combined LPS antigen

In precision hard turning, tool flank wear is one of the major factors contributing to the geometric error and thermal damage in a machined workpiece. Tool wear not only directly reduces the part geometry accuracy but also increases the cutting forces drastically. The change in cutting forces causes instability in the tool motion, and in turn, more inaccuracy. There are demands for reliably monito

We report extensive relativistic multiconfiguration Dirac-Hartree-Fock calculations of oscillator strengths and hyperfine structures for a large number of electric dipole transitions in In II. Results for the 5s(21)S(0)-5s5p P-3(0)o hyperfine induced transition are also presented. Core polarization is accounted for by means of explicit CI. To describe spin-polarization effects configuration state

Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the way organizational actors argue to obtain a license to operate for new ventures. Design/methodology/approach – The design, which addresses the issue at the industry level, consists of a case study of the ways in which power developers argue for the development of wind energy in Sweden. Findings – The study shows that wind power develop

Stopped-flow kinetics showed that the inhibition of the lysosomal cysteine proteinase, cathepsin B, by its endogenous inhibitor, cystatin C, occurs by a two-step mechanism, in which an initial, weak interaction is followed by a conformational change. The initial interaction most likely involves binding of the N-terminal region of the inhibitor to the proteinase. Considerable evidence indicates tha

Has the 'Swedish model' forced Sweden into stagnating economic growth? And has this caused Sweden to lag behind other comparable OECD-countries from the 1970s and onwards, i.e. since Sweden chose a welfare path different from many other countries? This has been the subject of a more than twenty year long controversy between Walter Korpi, professor of sociology and social policy, and leading Swedis

The physical phenomenon of what is now called p-n-luminescence has been known for more than 100 years. However, the effect as such was not understood until 1951 after the invention of the p-n-junction in 1947. The paper presents a brief survey of the development of LEDs in the visible region up to the early 1960s by not only focusing on the history of LEDs but also taking into account material sci

Resonant states can have an important influence on the electronic transport, noise and optical properties of heterostructure devices. We have used a non-variational method to study the resonant states formed by shallow donors inside and outside of quantum wells. The method allows us the evaluation of the position and the width (lifetime) of the resonant states and also of matrix elements such as o

New continental, national, provincial and state records of 34 species of Ptiliidae reported from North America are briefly listed, 20 of which belong to Acrotrichis Motschulsky. Eight European/Palaearctic species (Oligella foveolata (Allibert), Ptiliolum fuscum (Erichson), Ptiliola kunzei (Heer), Ptinella aptera (Guerin-Meneville), P. britannica Matthews, P. Johnsoni Rutanen, Acrotrichis parva Ros

Psoriasis is a frequently occurring inflammatory skin disease characterized by thickened erythematous skin that is covered with silvery scales. It is a complex genetic disease with both heritable and environmental factors contributing to onset and severity. The CD18 hypomorphic PL/J mouse reveals reduced expression of the common chain of beta(2) integrins (CD11/CD18) and spontaneously develops a s

We present photon correlation measurements performed on single self-assembled InP quantum dots in a GaInP barrier. Correlation measurements done under continuous excitation reveal a pronounced antibunching dip for the emission from the single exciton, the bi-exciton, and the tri-exciton. Cross-correlations between the different emission lines are used for line identification. We have correlated th

Agile methods emerged from small, contract-driven projects. This study describes lessons learned from integrating agile methods with traditional stage-gate project management models at three large, product-driven companies. The study results support the feasibility of combining these approaches and suggests some adjustments to ease the integration.

In this paper, we investigate the finite-sample distribution of the recursively mean-adjusted panel data unit root test of Shin et al. [Shin, D. W., Kang, S. and Oh, M.-S., 2004, Recursive mean adjustment for panel unit root tests. Economics Letters, 84, 433-439.]. More precisely, we provide response surface parameters that can be used to calculate small-sample critical values for the test. Furthe
