This organization is a public organization in an economically important Region and provides services to entrepreneurs such as validation for opening a new business. An interpretativeapproach used with several interviewees
This article focuses on how academic and industrial leaders view central aspects of the initiation, collaboration process, and the outcomes in government-funded R&D projects. In much previous work on university-industry collaborations (UICs), universities or researchers and/or firms have been studied without any direct reference to the other party, thus neglecting the fact that the motivations
It was with great interest that I read “Political Power of Iranian Hierocracies” by János Jany published in Comparative Civilizations Review. Writing about Iranian history is not an easy task because historical points of view have been highly politicized. Such is particularly the case when discussing the Pahlavi dynasty, particularly its founder, Reza Shah Pahlavi, and his successor, Mohammed Reza
Bacterial infections represent a serious health care problem, and all multicellular organisms have developed defense mechanisms to eliminate pathogens that enter the host via different paths including wounds. Many invertebrates have an open circulatory system, and effective coagulation systems are in place to ensure fast and efficient closure of wounds. It was proposed early on that coagulation sy
Soft tissue sarcoma (STS) diagnostics and prognostics are challenging, particularly in highly malignant and pleomorphic subtypes such as undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) and leiomyosarcoma (LMS). We applied 32K BAC arrays and gene expression profiling to 18 extremity soft tissue LMS and 31 extremity soft tissue UPS with the aim of identifying molecular subtype signatures and genomic prog
Evaluating the trade interdependence among countries is the key to understanding critical metal minerals security. By constructing a novel interdependence network, this paper reveals a more comprehensive world hierarchy and risk system of critical metals, and focuses on the interdependencies between China and the US-led MSP countries before and after the Sino-US trade disputes. The results indicat
Four organizations at Stockholm-Arlanda airport are going through various organizational changes. They are preparing for present and future demands through structural changes, implementation of new technology, training, and other efficiency and capacity improving measures. The change processes will be followed during two years of which this paper presents the baseline measurement. The key factors
Payment for water ecosystem services has been gaining attention in Latin America because of the direct response for environmental conservation through economic mechanisms. By connecting nature services with people who benefit from them, it creates a sustainable intervention for the ecosystem’s management while enhancing human well-being according to policy implementers. Nevertheless, these initiat
Increased use of powerful PCR technology for the routine detection of pathogens has focused attention on the need for international validation and preparation of official non-commercial guidelines. Bacteria of epidemiological importance should be the prime focus, although a "validation infrastructure" once established could easily be adapted for PCR-based detection of viruses and parasites. The ai
The long-distance migration that some animals accomplish can be truly astonishing. It can be observed in several different groups of animals with some of the most famous examples being sea turtles, birds, salmon and the Monarch butterfly. How these animals manage to navigate over distances sometimes as long as 10000 km nobody knows for sure. There is evidence of some animal’s ability to navigate u
I takt med att befolkningen i Sverige har ökat har även behovet av mat blivit större. För att producera mer mat har jordbruket intensifierats och användandet av gödsel och bekämpningsmedel har ökat. Förutom de positiva effekterna med högre skördar har detta även skapat miljöproblem. Ett av dessa är övergödning, som på sommaren orsakar den algblomning man kan se i sjöar och hav. Ett annat problem äThe Swedish agriculture has become more intense and large-scale by the use of artificial fertilizers and chemical pesticides. While the intensification has contributed to an increased harvest, it has also brought with it several environmental problems. This thesis brings up two of the main problems: eutrophication and the loss of biodiversity. These problem areas are also addressed by the Swedish
As organizations work to secure their innovativeness, they want to know whether their efforts are supporting the improvement of their innovation capabilities. The focus on outcomes and financial measures of current innovation measurement systems makes this challenging as those indicators often say little about capabilities. In addition, indicators are frequently focused at the organizational level
