Social capital can be a vital resource for entrepreneurs but so far research has not addressed how it is accessed through online communication channels. This paper presents a new way of sourcing network information about Swedish entrepreneurs and consequently explores whether rural entrepreneurs utilize online social capital as much as entrepreneurs from urban or metropolitan areas do. Theory impl

Popular Abstract in English Global invasion of our precious watercourses by cyanobacteria poses great threat to human- and animal health by deteriorating water systems. In fact, this problem is not likely to be solved in the near future as cyanobacteria are associated with pollution of waterways. Consequently, water sources are subject to contamination by natural toxins produced by abundant growthCyanobacteria blooms are a water menace since they produce potent toxins that have been implicated in poisonings and deaths of humans and animals after consumption or contact with cyanotoxin-contaminated water. Of particular concern are cyanotoxins called microcystins, which are hepatotoxic cyclic peptides known to promote development of liver tumors in humans and animals. The high toxicity and in

The Swedish music and arts school (SAMS) has been described as “a foundation for Swedish culture, where children and youth are given opportunities to express themselves through dance, fine art, drama, music or other art forms” (Öhrman & Holmdahl, 2022, s. 103). Current debates have questioned SAMS capacity to meet contemporary needs, revolving around themes such as broadening of target groups,

The socio-physical qualities of built environments are, in several ways, of imperative importance for children growing up. The Child-Friendly Cities initiative by UNICEF, an implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, has made local governments strive toward child-friendliness. The participation of children and young people is often the focus of such projects, with a potential

The aim of this paper is to examine the impact of overweight and obesity on early retirement. Data is gathered from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) database and on this data a linear probability model is applied, using both a Pooled Ordinary Least Squares (POLS) and a Fixed Effect (FE) strategy. In addition, separate regressions are run for current and lagged Body Mas

The number of remote teams has increased in recent years and this upward trend may persist. The growth is partly enabled by advancements in Information and Communication Technolo-gy (ICT) and globalization. Although organizations benefit from certain advantages that re-mote teams introduce, inadequate communication amongst remote team members can lead to project failures. Since technology has an i

This paper is concerned with calculating the branching ratio of the decay A1 −→ Υ + γ of a pseudo-scalar Higgs boson, where Υ is a bound vector meson state of the quarks b and b-bar The results will then be applied to the b. phenomenology of the Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model in the case where A1 has a mass in the interval 9.46 − 12 GeV . The paper will review the concept of spontan

Popular Abstract in English Prostate cancer is one of the most common causes of death for men. This disease can be detected at different stages and if it is detected at an initial stage there are many therapies to choose from. However, if it is detected at an advanced stage the options are reduced and most of the treatments are aggressive in an effort to extend the patient’s life. The most common In search for remedies and treatments, science has recurred to Mother Nature. This is where galiellalactone was found, a fungal metabolite isolated from Galiella rufa in 1990. Since then chemists and biologists have been studying its properties and found it to be a potential candidate against castration-resistance prostate cancer (CRPC). The development of a new drug requires many studies of the c

Diploid potato cultivars that are propagated by True Potato Seeds (TPS) are a new potentially revolutionary way of potato breeding. Conventional breeding is based on highly heterozygous tetraploid potato varieties. Diploid potato breeding by TPS is useful to create inbred lines and from there hybrid offspring. TPS is cheaper, has almost no diseases and is easy to distribute. Diploid potatoes have Are potatoes, grown from seeds, the future? Did you know that you can grow potato plants from seeds? A potato plant has two ways to propagate itself; by the all known potato that we love to eat and by seeds that are grown in tomato-like berries above the ground. These seed producing potato plants that are as well diploid (two copies of every chromosome) instead of conventional tetraploid (4 copie

The main purpose of this thesis is to discuss the concept of the child’s perspective and in what extent it is met in the Swedish judicial practice, focusing on the time after the custody reform of 2006. The preparatory work concerning the reform holds numerous of guidelines for the definition of the child’s perspective. The foundation of the concept is the respect of the child’s full human dignity

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has come to prominence as a priority for policy makers and healthcare professionals. There are many well-described guidelines on how healthcare professionals should handle AMR. However, professional practices are sometimes different from what the guidelines prescribe. Based on a non-scientific case, the article explores and discusses healthcare professionals’ practic

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is perhaps the most important, emblematic and ubiquitous technology of contemporary society. ICT is used increasingly in new product areas and help resolve problems and challenges to mankind; it has even gotten to a point where life without ICT is hard to imagine. Over the last decades ICT has become a core technology within the music, literature an

This essay studies the relationship between institutional transparency and political trust. The study focuses on 27 countries in Europe. The existing theory regarding the relationship emphasizes different views. Some theorists claim that the two concepts are positively correlated whilst others claim the opposite. Hence, the study’s purpose: to test which of the theorists predict the correct outcom

The decay of solutions to the Klein-Gordon equation is studied in two expanding cosmological spacetimes, namely (1) the de Sitter universe in flat Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) form, and (2) the cosmological region of the Reissner-Nordström-de Sitter (RNdS) model. Using energy methods, for initial data with finite higher order energies, bounds on the decay rates of the solution are obOne of the most profound realisations of physics of the twentieth century is that space and time should be considered as a single whole, a four-dimensional geometric object called spacetime, rather than two separate entities. Gravitation arising from matter manifests itself as curvature of spacetime, and the motion of matter is described by the straightest possible curves on this curved spacetime.
