Purpose: Explore how different ownership logics influence the strategic investment decision-making (SIDM) process in investment companies by comparing institutional investors, private equity firms, and family-owned investment companies. Methodology: Qualitative and comparative research design based on interviews with respondents from eight investment companies. The empirical findings were analyse
Background: Parents of children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and sleep problems can experience challenges and negative health effects. The aim of this study was to explore parents’ own health-related experiences as their child with ADHD and sleep problems underwent a sleep intervention with a weighted blanket. Methods: A convergent mixed methods design was undertaken. Socio
INTRODUCTION: Central venous catheters (CVCs) are essential in modern healthcare. Insertion of a CVC promotes a hypercoagulable environment, in part through activation of the intrinsic coagulation pathway. We have previously shown that blood obtained from newly inserted CVCs demonstrates immediate coagulation activation, with differences between samples collected directly after insertion and after
Wild bees and hoverflies are key pollinators, but their populations are declining in Europe. As the monitoring of each species would be arduous to implement, a cost-effective solution could be a shift from species level monitoring to an evaluation of the trends of functional groups. However, the lack of centralized trait databases hampers progress, as data are often dispersed across literature, li
This thesis empirically investigates the relationship between financialization and real capital accumulation in Swedish non-financial corporations (NFCs) from 2000 to 2024. Utilizing a Two-Way Fixed Effects regression model on firm-level panel data from the Serrano database, the study isolates the impacts of financial engagement on real investments across different firm sizes. The findings reveal
Introduction: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell neoplasm with substantial morbidity and mortality. A comprehensive description of the global burden of MM is needed to help direct health policy, resource allocation, research, and patient care.Objective: To describe the burden of MM and the availability of effective therapies for 21 world regions and 195 countries and territories from 1990 to 2
Communication and collaboration is a major challenge for large-scale software development. Cognitive and psychological distance between individuals and teams affect this collaboration and can cause communications gaps. We propose a novel method for assessing distance between teams, and explore potential explanations for these distances. In an exploratory case study of the quality assurance departm
Modern film cooling is an essential method to protect the turbine blade from the hot gas, and the issue about how to improve the film cooling performance has attracted much attention. In this study, a tree-shaped film cooling structure is carried out to improve the overall effectiveness and better decrease the metal temperature of the blade at the same time. To validate the superiority of the prop
Textile industries are responsible for one of the major environmental pollution problems in the world, because they release undesirable dye effluents. Textile wastewater contains dyes mixed with various contaminants at a variety of ranges. Therefore, environmental legislation commonly obligates textile factories to treat these effluents before discharge into the receiving watercourses. The treatme
This cross-sectional study examined psychological mechanisms in order to increase knowledge regarding mental illness amongst 561 over-indebted individuals in Sweden. Differences were explored between individuals with probable clinical depression and/or anxiety and individuals without probable clinical depression and/or anxiety, considering objective measures of the debt, financial strain, coping s
Eating disorders (EDs) are common and serious psychiatric disorders causing significant physical and psychological suffering, for both those afflicted and their significant others. Although there has been considerable research on EDs throughout the years, there is still much left to be desired for successful treatment.Perfectionism has been suggested to play a crucial role in the development and m
Within recent years, there has been a renewed focus on sound in urban environments. From sound installations in public space to sound festivals in alternative settings, we find a common interest in sound art relating to the urban environment. Artworks or interventions presented in such contexts share the characteristics of site specificity. However, this article will consider the artwork in a broa
Pile heat exchangers are fast emerging as a potentially viable alternative to the more prevalent borehole heat exchangers for the provision of space heating and cooling. In the last decade or so, the use of geothermal piles has increased sharply in many countries including Belgium, China, Japan, Switzerland, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, and United States, among others. In Sweden, however, inte
We have characterized a putative Ca(2+)-ATPase from the pathogenic bacterium Listeria monocytogenes with the locus tag lmo0841. The purified and detergent-solubilized protein, which we have named Listeria monocytogenes Ca(2+)-ATPase 1 (LMCA1), performs a Ca(2+)-dependent ATP hydrolysis and actively transports Ca(2+) after reconstitution in dioleoylphosphatidyl-choline vesicles. Despite a high sequ
The impact of climate variability on water demand and availability in drylands is substantial. Establishing methods to analyse precipitation (P) and evapotranspiration data sets may generate useful tools that assist in drought recognition and regional variations therein. The authors developed an index that simultaneous integrates both these variables in climate variability analysis. This study pro
Germline mutations of the MEN1 gene have been identified as the causative genetic defect of multiple endocrine neoplasia type I (MEN-I), an autosomal dominantly inherited condition. To establish the basis for predictive family screening we evaluated the spectrum of MEN1 gene mutations in MEN-I patients treated at our institution. Relatives at risk were subjected to predictive genetic screening aft
Sustained international diplomatic efforts culminated in the signing of the Paris Climate Agreement by 196 countries in December 2015. This paper provides an overview of the key provisions of the agreement that are most relevant to the tourism sector: much strengthened and world-wide participation in greenhouse gas emission reduction ambitions, an enduring framework for increased ambitions over ti
