The following thesis research deals with the topic of the challenges technology start- ups face and overcome when hiring talents in comparison with HRM practices attributed to established firms by existing theory. As Masters in Entrepreneurship students we felt the current literature tends to focus on HR-related topics in established companies, while these subjects remain underdeveloped applying t
Problem discussion: BCC:s product portfolio includes a transplanting machine that plants seedlings from trays to the field. The machine is more than 10 years old and need improvements to meet future demands from customers around the world. The main issues are that the machine does not have the capacity to detect missing plants from trays, the planting speed needs to be higher and the row distance
AbstractObjectiveA locally disturbed commensal microbiome might be an etiological factor in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) in general and in CRS without nasal polyps (CRSsNP) in particular. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been suggested to restore commensal microbiomes. A honeybee LAB microbiome consisting of various lactobacilli and bifidobacteria have been found potent against CRS pathogens in vitObjectiveA locally disturbed commensal microbiome might be an etiological factor in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) in general and in CRS without nasal polyps (CRSsNP) in particular.

A stochastic hierarchical model for the evolution of low grade gliomas is proposed. Starting with the description of cell motion using a piecewise diffusion Markov process (PDifMP) at the cellular level, we derive an equation for the density of the transition probability of this Markov process based on the generalised Fokker–Planck equation. Then, a macroscopic model is derived via parabolic limit
In this paper, we investigate the distributional properties of the estimated tangency portfolio (TP) weights assuming that the asset returns follow a matrix variate closed skew-normal distribution. We establish a stochastic representation of the linear combination of the estimated TP weights that fully characterizes its distribution. Using the stochastic representation we derive the mean and variaIn this paper, we investigate the distributional properties of the estimated tangency portfolio (TP) weights assuming that the asset returns follow a matrix variate closed skew-normal distribution.

Studying the Sorgenfri urban renewal project in the Swedish city of Malmö, this article suggests that a shift in planning documents reflects a new understanding of segregation containing traces of arguments from theoretical debates in geography. This new understanding of segregation appears informed by geographic debates on encounters, mobility, and boundaries, and implies that segregation is best
Device location is a practical problem in indoor wireless deployments. Without knowing where devices are positioned in a building, technicians struggle to locate failing equipment, understand coverage issues, and perform maintenance on devices. To facilitate technicians, they often get elevated access to the intranetwork, which not only gives them access to everything, but they still fail to know

The chapter studies the relationship between inequality and institutional change in the long-run. The key message is that societies change slowly and unpredictably because of path dependency of economic, political, and social institutions. Prevalent inequalities between different groups rooted in history may help to explain why change does not take place. This has implications for the results that
We present a low-delay vector predictive transform coder with quantization noise modeling. The coder uses overlapped transform coding and a Kalman filter with a backward estimated LPC model of the speech signal combined with an additive noise model of the quantization noise. The noise model is driven by the vector quantizer. Each quantizer cell has its own error correlation matrix, which is kept i
Batch processes are becoming more and more important in the chemical process industry, where they are used in the manufacture of specialty materials, which often are highly profitable. Some examples where batch processes are important are the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals, polymers, and semiconductors. The focus of this thesis is exception handling and fault detection in batch control. In the
Extended abstract Recent studies point at significant and ongoing technology induced changes in the retail landscape, creating new and interesting research avenues, new managerial challenges and a need to rethink existing business models (e.g., Burt and Sparks 2003; Kollmann et al., 2012; Sorescu et al., 2011). This paper aims at contributing to the literature concerning the managerial aspects th
