Title: Critical success factors that influence the corporate venturing process Seminar date: 2013-05-02 Course: ENTN39 Internship and Degree Project Authors: Martin Zündorf & Marcus Holgersson Advisor/s: Joakim Winborg Purpose: We investigated the influence of different factors on the corporate venturing process. Therefore we combined several factors from the organizational level with cha
This project investigates if access to a solar powered calculator improves numeracy and who benefits the most from the use of a calculator. A randomized field study was carried out in two different high schools in Palawan, a province in the Philippines. All participating students took two identical mathematics tests based on mental arithmetic, the first at the initial stage and the second seven we
The low levels of workforce participation achieved by Sweden’s immigrants is an issue that has challenged policymakers for over 35 years. Recently, the significance of this issue in the minds of Swedish voters has been made clear, as Sweden elected the first far-right anti-immigration party into parliament in almost 20 years. In late 2010, in an effort to combat the ongoing issue, the government i
Using a population synthesis model we estimate the fraction of stars of different types that are likely to show eclipses, as a function of the period. The population model is based on the bse-code from Hurley et al. (2002) which is a rapid binary evolution code that include all common effects in close binaries such as mass transfer, tidal locking, wind etc. We use this to evolve millions of system
Saccharomyces cerevisiae and its sibling species Saccharomyces paradoxus are known to inhabit temperate arboreal habitats across the globe. Despite their sympatric distribution in the wild, S. cerevisiae is predominantly associated with human fermentations. The apparent ecological differentiation of these species is particularly striking in Europe where S. paradoxus is abundant in forests and S. c
Understanding the uncertainty of climate models in space and time is necessary to help water resources managers and hydrologists in the selection of appropriate model for a specific application. In this paper, we use three separate methods to evaluate and compare the utility of 14 climate models for seven basins with area range of 2,656–26,355 km2 on the South Korean Peninsula. On the one hand, th
The electronic structure of strongly correlated systems is usually calculated by using an effective model Hamiltonian with a small number of states and an effective on-site interaction. The mode, however, neglects the frequency dependence of the interaction, which emerges as a result of dynamical screening processes not included in the model. The self-energy calculated in this kind of model within
We provide a revised assessment of the number of exoplanets that should be discovered by Gaia astrometry, extending previous studies to a broader range of spectral types, distances, and magnitudes. Our assessment is based on a large representative sample of host stars from the TRILEGAL Galaxy population synthesis model, recent estimates of the exoplanet frequency distributions as a function of ste
This master thesis collaborates with Axis Communications which is a Swedish video camera company. The mission for the thesis was to take advantage of Axis developed or developing technology to explore data value in the retail industry and design a data visualization interface. Shopping via online shopping platform, customers will leave their shopping journey data and the data could be recorded st
Despite being aware of the health risks associated with making “bad” health decisions, we seem to deny our personal vulnerability to the harmful effects of poor health behavior. Aiming to explore whether the harmful effects associated with poor health behavior are personalized once our peers suffer from them, reflected by improved health behavior and referred to as “peer effects”, this study uses
Neoconservatism developed in the context of liberal anti-communism from the 1940s. The key intellectuals of this early period of neoconservatism, centred around Irving Kristol, occupied themselves with issues such as the threat of communism, anti-Americanism at home, adversary culture and the problems of social engineering. However, by the mid 1990s as the end of the Cold War removed their main fo
En viktig uppgift som åläggs regeringen enligt regeringsformen är det så kallade beredningskravet av regeringsärenden i 7 kap. 2 § RF. Hur beredningskravet ska fullgöras regleras emellertid inte vidare i regeringsformen och regeringen getts ett stort handlingsutrymme för beredningskravets fullgörande. Bristande beredning har vid ett flertal tillfällen varit föremål för kritik från såväl KonstituAn important task imposed on the Swedish government according to Chapter 7, Article 2 Instrument of Government (IG) is the mandatory preparation of government matters. However, how this requirement is to be fulfilled is not further regulated by IG and the government can excercise a great deal of discretion. Inadequate preparation has on several occasions been the subject of criticism from consti
Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are widely believed to play a key role in the for- mation of intracellular biomolecular condensates through liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS). Furthermore, it has been shown in vitro that several IDPs are able to phase sepa- rate on their own. Computational modeling offers unique opportunities to investigate the driving forces and sequence-dependence of
Although microalgae have been considered for the biological treatment of wastewater since the 1950’s, their potential to efficiently remove pollutants from various streams remains largely untapped and is yet to be utilized at large scale. The production of algal biomass and extraction of high-value compounds has, however, become increasingly popular with large scale farms and biorefineries around
The Milky Way galaxy has through its lifetime merged with several smaller galaxies in its surroundings. Merger events like these play an important role in the formation of galaxies and are therefore of great interest to better our understanding of galaxy formation. In this project we create candidate lists of stars that are likely to originate from past merger events experienced by the Galaxy, usi
The aim of this study was to describe and analyze the arguments that a number of professionals in equine-assisted therapy had for having the horse as part of the treatment of people with mental and physical disabilities. The analysis was based on two theories: Antonovsky's theory of salutogenesis, including the concept of sense of coherence, and Bowlbys attachment theory. The study was based o
Theology has, also as result of the critique directed at it, undergone an ecologization that takes shape in ecotheology. It is theology’s attempt to deliver answers to the ecological crisis. These answers are substantively different compared to approaches in other academic fields and could provide the spiritual foundation that is so urgently needed. For ecotheology to move beyond its academic and
Försiktighetsprincipen har utvecklats ur insikten att då vetenskaplig säkerhet väl uppnåtts kring vad som orsakar miljöproblem, har skadan ofta redan inträffat. Principen tar därför sikte på att agera mot skada innan den uppstått, trots brister i kunskapen gällande vad som orsakar den. En mängd definitioner av principen finns till följd av det genomslag principen fått i internationella instrument The precautionary principle emerged from the insight that once scientific certainty is eventually reached concerning the causes of environmental issues, damage has often already occurred. The principle aims at acting against damage before it takes place, even though lack of knowledge about its causes exists. There are many definitions of the principle as a result of the breakthrough it has had in
