Empty Innovation : Causes and Consequences of Society's Obsession with Entrepreneurship and Growth

Innovation is generally viewed as something inherently good, a source of progress and prosperity in our society. But innovation can also have negative, unintended, and wasteful effects, if policies are misdirected and organizations pursue innovation to look good and convey a message, rather than to actually achieve improvements of technologies, services, and products. This book makes the case that

Handlingarnas sken : om litterär slitning i det dramatiska

The subject of this thesis is what I call a literary friction in the dramatic. In my research project, my aim has been to deepen the understanding of this friction and to make it productive in transforming my own dramatic writing. This has resulted in two dramatic works, which are presented in the thesis. I distinguish two different qualities in my writing – the dramatic and the literary – that I The subject of this thesis is what I call a literary friction in the dramatic.

Dynamical Analysis of Terahertz Quantum Cascade Lasers

This thesis focuses on various aspects in terahertz quantum cascade lasers such as high temperature performances, electrical instabilities and chaos. In the first part of the thesis, an introduction to the topic and the non equilibrium Green's function package applied is given with particular emphasise on the inhomogeneous domain model and the chaos theory. In addition, new results regarding the h

Physical Bounds on Antennas with Feed Constraints

Antenna current optimization has been used to derive physical bounds on antenna parameters such as Q-factor, radiation efficiency, gain, directivity, capacity, and radiation patterns. The success of the methodology is partly due to the assumption of absolute control of the antenna current in the antenna region which in practice producing an array antenna with multiple feeds. Details of the feed su

Neoliberally framed suffering in professionals and patients in palliative care settings – ’telling cases’ from an ethnographic multi-sited field study in Denmark

In western countries, palliative care is a part of the formal healthcare system, ruled by neoliberal, organisational ideas. This Danish study illuminates how nurses and patients with non-western immigrant backgrounds (inter)act in relation to encounters in palliative care settings. Two ‘telling’ cases were selected, based on interviews and participating observations from a multi-sited ethnographic

”Nya teorier i gamla läglar? Rätten i en förändrad kontext”: Rättssociologiska reflektioner om skadeståndslagens dynamik

Women and youth in Banja Luka entrepreneurship ecosystem : promoting inclusive entrepreneurship ecosystems for women and youth

By applying the ILO’s inclusive entrepreneurship ecosystem model, this report outlines key developments and challenges in the ecosystem for women and young entrepreneurs in Banja Luka. Numerous challenges identified under each pillar of the entrepreneurship ecosystem influence the pathways for decent work of women and young entrepreneurs who are part of the ecosystem, but many challenges can also

Intra- and inter-rater reliability of compressed breast thickness, applied force, and pressure distribution in screening mammography

BackgroundEnsuring equivalent and reproducible breast compression between mammographic screening rounds is important for the diagnostic performance of mammography, yet the extent to which screening mammography positioning and compression is reproducible for the individual woman is unknown.PurposeTo investigate the intra- and inter-rater reliability of breast compression in screening mammography.Ma

Exploring Inclusive Cities for Migrants in the UK and Sweden: A Scoping Review

In recent years, social work with migrants and ethnic minorities has developed as a field of research and practice. Further, it is recognised in the literature that the increased processes of human mobility in today’s societies have driven a growing focus on inclusive cities, especially in larger urban areas where ethnic diversity and cultural heterogeneity can be found alongside newly arrived mig

Translational opportunities of single-cell biology in atherosclerosis

The advent of single-cell biology opens a new chapter for understanding human biological processes and for diagnosing, monitoring, and treating disease. This revolution now reaches the field of cardiovascular disease (CVD). New technologies to interrogate CVD samples at single-cell resolution are allowing the identification of novel cell communities that are important in shaping disease developmen

Multiproxy Reconstructions of Integral Energy Spectra for Extreme Solar Particle Events of 7176 BCE, 660 BCE, 775 CE, and 994 CE

Extreme solar particle events (ESPEs) are rare and the most potent known processes of solar eruptive activity. During ESPEs, a vast amount of cosmogenic isotopes (CIs) 10Be, 36Cl, and 14C can be produced in the Earth's atmosphere and deposited in natural stratified archives. Accordingly, CI measurements in these archives allow us to evaluate particle fluxes during ESPEs. In this work, we present a

Explicit harmonic morphisms and p-harmonic functions from the complex and quaternionic Grassmannians

We construct explicit complex-valued p-harmonic functions and harmonic morphisms on the classical compact symmetric complex and quaternionic Grassmannians. The ingredients for our construction method are joint eigenfunctions of the classical Laplace-Beltrami and the so called conformality operator. A known duality principle implies that these p-harmonic functions and harmonic morphisms also induce

Clinical efficacy of a topical lactic acid bacterial microbiome in chronic rhinosinusitis: A randomized controlled trial

AbstractObjectiveA locally disturbed commensal microbiome might be an etiological factor in chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) in general and in CRS without nasal polyps (CRSsNP) in particular. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) have been suggested to restore commensal microbiomes.
