The aim of this explorative study is to examine the theoretical and empirical notions in the business model of innovation that are influenced by use of management control systems (MCS). By means of a systematic literature review, the theoretical constructs are highlighted and related to the diagnostic and interactive uses of part of the MCS, namely the performance measurement systems (PMS), and thThe aim of this explorative study is to examine the theoretical and empirical notions in the business model of innovation that are influenced by use of management control systems (MCS).

We present an angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy study of the single-layer T∗-type structured cuprate SmLa1-xSrxCuO4 with unique fivefold pyramidal oxygen coordination. Upon varying oxygen content, T∗-SmLa1-xSrxCuO4 evolved from a Mott-insulating to a metallic state where the Luttinger sum rule breaks down under the assumption of a large holelike Fermi surface. This is in contrast with the

This article reports the result of a survey designed to investigate the degree of uncertainty by which a representative sample of Swedish households hold their perceptions and expectations of inflation. The public displays hardly any uncertainty concerning the direction of change of the price level as measured by the ratio of ‘don’t know’ answers. However, when asked for numerical estimates of theThis article reports the result of a survey designed to investigate the degree of uncertainty by which a representative sample of Swedish households hold their perceptions and expectations of inflation.

The literature in the Strategic Entrepreneurship (SE) is increasingly embracingthe concept and implications of knowledge spillovers. In this paper, we add to thetheoretical repertoire on SE and knowledge spillovers by investigating the types ofknowledge spillovers and what they imply for various dimensions of SE. On the one hand,we distinguish between spatial and aspatial knowledge spillovers. On

In Sweden there has been a move towards more cost reflective price models for district heating in order to reduce economic risks that comes with variable heat demand and high shares of fixed assets. The keywords in the new price models are higher shares of fixed cost, seasonal energy prices and charging for capacity. Also components that are meant to serve as incentives to affect behaviour are int

Competition among phytoplankton for limiting resources may involve direct or indirect interactions. A direct interaction of competitors is the release of chemicals that inhibit other species, a process known as allelopathy. Here, we investigated the allelopathic effect of three toxic microalgae species (Alexandrium tamarense, Karenia mikimotoi and Chrysochromulina polylepis) on a natural populatio

We have investigated the oxidation/reduction behavior of dome-shaped three-dimensional islands of Ge on Si(001) grown by ultrabigh vacuum chemical vapor deposition. The oxidation was done by exposing the surfaces to H2O steam in N-2. The reduction was done by H-2, which selectively reduces only the GeO2. The results of the oxidation/reduction processes under varying conditions were analyzed by hig

Mental health and self-image among deaf and hard of hearing children (ages 11-18 years) in southern Sweden was investigated. The children (N = 111) attended special schools for the deaf (n = 28), special schools for the hard of hearing (n = 23), and regular schools where hard of hearing children were mainstreamed (n = 60). The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (Goodman, 1997) was used to sc

Drawing from Swedish press history in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the present article argues for further historical investigation into three aspects of Jürgen Habermas’ theory of the public sphere. The first concerns actual media participation, the second the representative features of media institutions, and the third media systems. These routes of analysis can and should be combined

Today there are climate policy targets within the EU and Sweden about limiting global warming and drastically reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In order to stay within the goal of a global warming of less than 2 ºC, the industrialised countries should decrease their emissions by 80-95 % in 2050, and bring them down to zero in the longer run. Scenario studies indicate that this is possible to achi

Oxy-fuel combustion is one of the proposed technologies with the potential to achieve zero CO2 emission. La1−xCaxCo1−yFeyO3−δ (LCCF) perovskites are promising materials with high selectively for oxygen. In this study, the oxygen non-stoichiometry of perovskites LCCF was investigated by means of iodometric titration. LCCF was prepared using the liquid citrate method, and the phase structures were i

Purpose: The aim of the study is to investigate associations between socioeconomic and occupational factors and lymphoproliferative (LP) diseases. Methods: We performed a follow-up study on the economically active Swedish population, based on the Swedish Family-Cancer Database. Standardized incidence ratios and 95% confidence intervals were calculated in different social classes and occupations. R

The predominant way of modelling mortality rates is the Lee–Carter model and its many extensions. The Lee–Carter model and its many extensions use a latent process to forecast. These models are estimated using a two-step procedure that causes an inconsistent view on the latent variable. This paper considers identifiability issues of these models from a perspective that acknowledges the latent vari

Deep brain stimulation of the globus pallidus internus has been recently shown to alleviate parkinsonian symptoms and levodopa-induced dyskinesias. However, its exact mechanisms of action are unclear. Pallidal neurones are connected via various pathways to the dopaminergic nigrostriatal system. In the present study we investigated the hypothesis that deep brain stimulation of the entopeduncular nu

As a growing number of diplomatic practices take new digital forms, research on digital diplomacy is rapidly expanding. Many of the changes linked to digitalization transform or challenge traditional ways of doing diplomacy. Analyses of new forms of “digital diplomacy” are therefore valuable for the advancement of practice approaches in international relations theory. That said, digital diplomacy

This paper focuses on how multiple actors promote civic and political participation of immigrants locally. The dominant approach in scholarship on political participation of immigrants —the political opportunity structure—focuses mostly on the role of local institutional actors to examine the constraints and opportunities for immigrants’ civic and political participation. We argue that this main f

We investigated the skin sensitization hazard of glyphosate, the surfactant polyethylated tallow amine (POEA) and two commercial glyphosate-containing formulations using different omics-technologies based on a human dendritic cell (DC)-like cell line. First, the GARD™skin assay, investigating changes in the expression of 200 transcripts upon cell exposure to xenobiotics, was used for skin sensitiz
