This paper analyzes the effect of various innovation strategies (ISs) of firms on their future performance, captured by labor productivity. Using five waves of the Community Innovation Survey in Sweden, we have traced the innovative behavior of firms over a decade, that is, from 2002 to 2012. We defined ISs to be either simple or complex (in various degrees). We call an IS a simple IS when firms e
Questions in causality, control, and reinforcement learning go beyond the classical machine learning task of prediction under i.i.d. observations. Instead, these fields consider the problem of learning how to actively perturb a system to achieve a certain effect on a response variable. Arguably, they have complementary views on the problem: In control, one usually aims to first identify the system
The bird fibulae were used for a relatively short period in the seventh century in the southern Scandinavian Late Iron Age, the Vendel Period. A close visual and contextual analysis of the bird fibulae propose that their form and decoration indicate a falconry association. Their outline and ornamentation are suggestive of raptors and the tethering of these birds in falconry practice. Their archaeo
In March of 2017, artist, field recordist, soundwalk leader and artistic researcher Jacek Smolicki invited me to the Detroit Gallery to join him and artist/illustrator Jenny Soep in a project employing different modes of transposition. Smolicki and Soep wanted to explore how materials transformed when transposed through different mediums. First, Jacek Smolicki collected 31 short field recordings.
BACKGROUND: Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is a useful low-cost marker of insulin resistance. We aimed to evaluate the association between TyG index and arterial stiffness, incidence of diabetes, adverse cardiovascular outcomes, and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in two large prospective Swedish cohorts, the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study-Cardiovascular Cohort (MDCS-CV) and the Malmö Preven
The aim of this doctoral study is to develop and implement a material model for granular materials. The course of this work was concentrated upon a non-associated plasticity model with yield surface and the flow potential expressed in terms of the mean stress p and the third stress invariants I3. The plastic work hardening in the model depends upon both plastic volumetric and deviatoric strain inc
B-uppsatsen Det oberoende skapandet – en studie av indiespel som produkt av DIY i ett postmodernt samhälle är författad av Magnus Johansson och Henrik Vilén i Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap, vid Institutionen för kommunikation och medier, Lunds universitet. Uppsatsen undersöker fenomenet och videospelsgenren indiespel, med fokus på två spel; I Wanna Be The Guy och Journey. Indiespel är skapade
Forskare har lyft fenomenet där medarbetaren numera tillskrivs en mer engagerad roll på olika plan i organisationen. Ett exempel är att sociala funktioner som tidigare framförallt använts för extern kommunikation även börjat dyka upp i interna sammanhang, där sociala intranät har blivit ett verktyg för denna nya medskapande roll. Syftet med uppsatsen är att, genom en fallstudie i form av intervjue
Covid-19 has forced organisations globally to shift from a physical office to a re-mote workspace overnight. One year into the pandemic, research suggests remote work could be the ‘new normal’, highlighting the need for organisations to enhance their knowledge of this practise. By investigating remote workers at the United Na-tions Development Programme (UNDP), this study aims to explore the impli
New technologies developed (new ways of energy generation and consumption) are promoting the introduction of improvements at electricity networks. Currently, European legislation is promoting changes in electricity networks of member states. These changes include new technologies to facilitate the introduction of renewable energy sources to the grid and have a more efficient use of energy. Smart g
Bakgrund: Trioplast Landskrona tillverkar och trycker plastmaterial till förpackningar. Med en prispressad marknad så upplever företaget att de har svårt att konkurrera med andra företag belagda i lågavlönade länder. Priser är pressade till nivåer där Trioplast Landskrona har svårt att konkurrera med den verksamhet som bedrivs idag, Därmed vill företaget rikta sig mot den delen av marknaden som stBackground: Trioplast Landskrona manufacture and print plastic packing material. As the market pressures the prices down, the company feels that they are having a hard time competing with other companies from low salary countries. The margins are so low on the current market, that it is hard for Trioplast Landskrona to be profitable. Therefore, the company want to focus on a new market segment tha
Nämndemän har varit med och påverkat dömandet i våra domstolar i mer än 800 år. Deras inflytande har varierat en del under århundradena men aldrig har de haft så stor domsmakt som idag. I tingsrätten dömer vanligtvis fyra domare varav en är juridiskt utbildad (ordföranden) och tre är nämndemän. I röstningsförfarandet väger allas röst lika tungt. Det är kommunfullmäktige som väljer vilka som ska siLay judges have been able to influence the judgments in our courts for more than 800 years. Their influence has varied somewhat over the centuries but never have they had such great judicial power as today. In District Courts there are usually four judges, one of whom is legally trained and three who are lay judges. In the voting process every judge has the same power. The city council decides who
Denna studie har en socialkonstruktionistisk utgångspunkt och syftar till att undersöka upplevelser av intern varumärkeskommunikation som styrningsverktyg från ett mottagarperspektiv. Syftet grundas i en problematik där den strategiska idén med interna varumärken går förlorad när hänsyn inte tas till medarbetares subjektiva upplevelser av varumärket. För att uppnå syftet har en fallstudie genomförFrom a social constructionist view, the purpose is to examine experiences of internal brand communication as a management tool from a recipient perspective. The problem is based on the fact that the strategic intention of internal brands is lost when co-workers’ subjective experiences are not taken into account. To reach the purpose, a case study has been conducted where co-workers on operative le
This research uniquely addresses the underexplored area of storytelling as a medium for learning and safety in sports diving, a high-risk discretionary activity. It achieves this by utilising a comprehensive mixed-method approach, that incorporates online surveys, focus groups, and interviews to gather perspectives from a wide range of stakeholders in the diving community. The informants were dive
It is far from a secret that we presently live at a time when the journalistic terms are influenced by digitalisation and new types of media. While news reporting characteristically has been done by trained professionals, the news scene now finds itself with an influx of amateurs. However, whether people view alternative channels as trustworthy sources of information or not, there subsequently is
The NGO WWF runs conservation projects in the Tridom rainforest area to preserve biodiversity. They have financed and trained eco-guards whose task is to protect the forest from poaching. In the same area, the indigenous population Baka lives off and in symbiosis with the rainforest. Testimonies and reports have revealed how the eco-guards have committed violent and deeply offensive acts against t
År 2009 reformerades det administrativa förfarandet för tillståndsprövningar av vindkraftverk, delvis för att en större vindkraftsutbyggnad skulle komma till stånd men också som nödvändig en åtgärd för att Sverige skulle uppfylla sina skyldigheter i 2009 års förnybarhetsdirektiv. Tidigare hade en ansökning om att få bygga vindkraft inneburit dubbla process- och tillståndsförfaranden enligt både PlIn 2009 the Swedish legislature regarding the administrative procedure applicable to wind energy projects was amended, in part to increase wind power construction but also as a measure to fulfil Sweden’s obligations stemming from the 2009 Renewables directive. As a result, the dual process- and permit procedure under both the Plan and Building Act and the Environmental Code was abolished. Instead,
Linc-DGCR6-1 as a new potential “bodyguard” of human germ cell survival Immune responses are essential to protect us from pathogens. However, there are distinct sites of our body, such as brain or testis, in which the action of systemic immune system is not well tolerated. For this reason, these sites evolved different strategies to suppress immune responses, creating what is known as “immune pri
