The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between acquisitions and mobility of knowledge workers and managers in small technology companies and how individual skills and capabilities moderate the relationship. Relying on the matched employer-employee data of the Swedish high-tech sectors from 2007 to 2015, we find that acquisitions increase the likelihood of employee departures,

Det är vanligt att anta att marknad och samverkan befinner sig i motsatsställning: på en marknad ska det idealt sett råda konkurrens mellan olika aktörer medan samverkan vanligen handlar om flera aktörers gemensamma strävan mot samma mål. Stater och inte minst EU:s institutioner vidtar regelbundet åtgärder för att skapa marknader och konkurrens, och i dessa åtgärder finns ofta direkta försök att f

We here describe measurements of respiratory enzymes in situ, which can be done on very small cell samples and make mitochondrial isolation unnecessary. The method is based on the ability of the fungal peptide alamethicin to permeate biological membranes from the net positively charged side, and form nonspecific ion channels. These channels allow rapid transport of substrates and products across t

Artikel om science fiction-författaren Robert Heinleins roman Starship Troopers från 1959 och Paul Verhoevens filmversion från 1997 med utgångspunkten att båda gestaltar ett fascistiskt samhälle. Skillnaden är att Heinlein ser det som något av ett ideal medan inslagen av ironi och absurditet i Verhoevens version bidrar till att det presenterade framtidsscenariot framstår som djupt problematiskt bo

Introduction: Peritoneal carcinosis (PC) is the third common site of metastatic colorectal cancer which characterized by a very low survival rate. Surgical trauma has been identified as an important factor in the progression of PC, postulated to be caused by the inflammatory response to tissue injury. The mechanism behind tumor metastasis remains poorly understood. However, existing evidence indic

A major challenge for a person with diabetes is to adapt insulin dosage regimens and food intake to keep blood glucose within tolerable limits during daily life activities. The accurate prediction of blood glucose levels in response to inputs would support the patients with invaluable information for appropriate on-the-spot decision making concerning the management of the disease. Against this bac

Classic accounts of transitions research have predominantly built on reconstructions of historical transition processes and in-depth case studies to identify and conceptualize socio-technical change. While such approaches have substantively improved our understanding of transitions, they often suffer from methodological nationalism and a lack of generalizability beyond spatial and sectoral boundar

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a common comorbidity in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and reduced lung function is an important risk factor for CVD and CVD-related death. However, the mechanisms behind the increased risk for CVD in COPD patients are not fully understood. Methods: We examined the association between CVD- and inflammation-related serum biomarkers, and pulm

This article proceeds from the question: how do prices in markets work? In socioeconomic theories, I find two answers to this question. The structural-coordinative approach explains prices as outcomes—coordinative effects of pricing scripts installed by exogenous, institutionalized social structures. The performative-epistemological approach explains prices as market devices—endogenous performativ

Background: Patent false lumen has been shown to have a negative impact on prognosis after surgery for acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). We aimed to assess the effect of postoperative anticoagulation on false lumen patency and clinical outcomes in relation to false lumen status. Methods: Postoperative computed tomographies of 156 patients undergoing ATAAD DeBakey type I surgery were retrospe

Background: Patients diagnosed with oesophageal and gastric cancer face a poor prognosis and numerous challenges of symptom management, lifestyle adjustments and complex treatment regimens. The multifaceted care needs and rapid disease progression reinforce the need for proactive and coherent health care. According to the national cancer strategy, providing coherent health care and palliative supp
