For every stock investor, the question of how many stocks to buy is fundamental. The recommendations from the literature is wide and ranges from 10 to over 300. As a contrast, 41.79% of Swedish shareholders held only one stock in year 2020. This thesis studies the Swedish stock market between 2011 and 2020 which to the authors knowledge not has been done before within the research space of Diversi
The primary purpose of this paper is to further build on research related to capability development in order to explore hindrances and benefits of internal capability development and external partnerships as ways to improve performance. The beverage industry is used as the focus context since the companies in this industry are increasingly responding to external trends and looking for ways to deve
With the 11th century text Kitāb ādāb al-nikāḥ, the “Book on the Proper Conduct of Marriage”, the Islamic thinker al-Ghazālī (1056 –1111/447–504) replies to a contemporaneous debate within Sufi asceticism with a theology of nikāḥ. The text is part of his opus magnum, the “Renaissance of the Knowledge of dīn”, which aims at a renewal of Muslim piety and provides practical guidance to the male audie
Purpose The purpose of this study is to establish a list of facilitating factors for the implementation of organisational innovations in healthcare units. We accomplish this by a thorough literary review, which is followed by an empirical case study of Capio Group. The case study is conducted to validate the theoretical findings, based on subjective perceptions of healthcare practitioners. This w
Background: Ventriculo-peritoneal (VP) shunt is a catheter which circulate flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the lateral ventricle to the abdomen and it is the most commonly used shunt in modern neurosurgery. Complications of VP shunts are very common and often require emergency services. For the perioperative nurse this means that theVP shunt reoperation is one of the most often performed em
Cambodia´s complicated political landscape has created a development context that the international community long struggled to navigate. In this paper I – through a theoretical framework that conceptualises a political context as a historically located totality and defines the quest for political legitimacy as a constraint that can be used to make inferences about the behaviour and actions prefer
The aim of this paper is to explore which skills and mindsets are necessary for successful leadership in the digital era. It is written for IKEA who are interested in remaining at the forefront of their industry by understanding how digitalisation affects their business and how to make the most of the opportunities it brings, one aspect of which is leadership. There is a gap in the existing knowle
Anthropogenic climate change and environmental degradation demand humanity to depart from the growth imperative forming the economic structure of the world. In other words: Structural transformation is needed. Much of the sustainability debate in academy, politics, media and the public revolves around two paradigms: minor changes within the current system (e.g. green consumption, green growth) or
Development of genetically modified microorganisms such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae for use as microbial cell factories to produce fine and bulk chemicals has lately proceeded very rapidly, much thanks to new gene editing methods based on a CRISPR/Cas9 system adapted from bacteria which increases the rate of genetic engineering. However, development of methods which enable fast and simple screenin
Introduction: This study attempts to optimize the choice of stationary phase for the separation of lignosulfonate lignin compounds using supercritical fluid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry. Background: Lignin is a potential renewable source of phenolic compounds. Lignosulfonate lignins are produced during pulping processes producing very complex mixtures, which are challenging to anal
Title: Critical Supply Chain Factors for Scaling a Startup -- A Case Study in the Industry of Semiconductors Author: Pontus Landgren Supervisors: Bertil Nilsson, Lund University, Faculty of Engineering & Lennart Moberg, Acconeer AB Background: A well implemented supply chain strategy aligned with the company's overall strategy is a prerequisite in order to successfully scale a startup.
Protein S has an established role in the protein C anticoagulant pathway, where it enhances the factor Va (FVa) and factor VIIIa (FVIIIa) inactivating property of activated protein C (APC). Despite its physiological role and clinical importance, the molecular basis of its action is not fully understood. To clarify the mechanism of the protein S interaction with APC, we have constructed and express
Searches for heavy long-lived charged particles are performed using a data sample of 19.1 fb(-1) from proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of root s = 8 TeV collected by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. No excess is observed above the estimated background and limits are placed on the mass of long-lived particles in various supersymmetric models. Long-lived tau slepto
ObjectiveExamine the factor structure, reliability, and validity of the Pediatric Testing Attitudes Scale-Diabetes (P-TAS-D), a measure of parental attitudes about predictive risk screening for type 1 diabetes in children. MethodsSurveys were completed by 3720 Swedish parents of children participating in the adolescent follow-up of a birth cohort study of type 1 diabetes onset. Parents averaged 43
A search for the pair production of heavy leptons (N-0, L-+/-) predicted by the type-III seesaw theory formulated to explain the origin of small neutrino masses is presented. The decay channels N-0 -> W(+/-)l(+/-) (l = e, mu, tau) and L-+/- -> W(+/-)v (v = v(e), v(mu), v(tau)) are considered. The analysis is performed using the final state that contains two leptons (electrons or muons), two jets f
While the risk for arterial vascular disease has been shown to be influenced by socioeconomic status (SES), there is limited information whether SES also influences the risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE). To evaluate whether there is an association between SES and VTE incidence. In 1990, all 730,050 inhabitants (379,465 women and 350,585 men) above 25 years of age in the County of Skåne in Swed
Introduction: Career termination, an inevitable step in every athlete’s career, has received increased attention within sport psychological research. A career termination that results in psychological problems is of special concern for sport federations, organizations and clubs. Research has shown that it is crucial to consider an athlete’s the reason for career termination. There is evidence that
Paleomagnetic results are presented for two Paleoproterozoic mafic dykes in the Taivalkoski area in northern Karelia Province of the Fennoscandian shield where, based on K-Ar data, the crust has seen minimal effects of the otherwise pervasive 1.8-1.9 Ga Svecofennian orogeny. Within this study a new U-Pb baddeleyite age of 2339 +/- 18 Ma has been determined for one of the E-W trending dykes (dyke A
Revision of the Task Force diagnostic criteria (TFC) for arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy/dysplasia (ARVC/D) has increased their sensitivity for diagnosis of early and familial forms of the disease. Epsilon wave (EW) is a major diagnostic criterion in the context of ARVC/D, which, however, remains not quantifiable and therefore may leave room for substantial subjective interpretatio
An inclusive search is presented for new physics in events with two isolated leptons (e or mu) having the same electric charge. The data are selected from events collected from p p collisions at root s = 7 TeV by the ATLAS detector and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 34 pb(-1). The spectra in dilepton invariant mass, missing transverse momentum and jet multiplicity are presented and comp
