Denna rapport är slutprodukten av ett projektarbete inom ledarskapsprogrammet AKKA III år 2009 och undersöker den paradoxala situation som uppstår då forskargrupper fungerar som verksamhetsbärande enheter samtidigt som deras formella roll i organisationen är oklar. Detta väcker frågeställningar som är relevanta ur ett ledarskapsperspektiv: Vad är egentligen en forskargrupp? Vilka olika typer av fo

Boken börjar med katastrofen 1809, då den svenska kyrkan miste mer än en fjärdedel av sina medlemmar genom att Finland avträddes. Den nya regeringsformen med nya formuleringar om samvetsfrihet fick stor betydelse under hela 1800-talet. Med romantiken följde en ny känsla för det historiska, för Kristusgestalten och för trons liv. Kontrasterna mellan ljus och mörker var gemensamma för romantiken och

Colonialism’ and ‘decolonization’ have been dealt with by postcolonial studies and, more recently, by scholars identified with the ‘de-colonial turn’. At the same time, in the ethnopolitically charged context of contemporary Bolivian society, colonialism and decolonization have become issues of political, existential and even cosmological import. This thesis identifies a need to root the ‘de-colon

Popular Abstract in Swedish Den kemiskt enkla föreningen cis-[PtCl2(NH3)2)] (cisplatin) används för behandling av vissa cancerformer. Föreningen är i allmänhet giftig för kroppens organ och kroppen utvecklar resistens, vilket begränsar den kliniska effektiviteten. Generellt anses det att den önskade anticancer-effekten fås som ett resultat av inbindningen av platinakomplexen till DNA, medan interaIn this thesis reductions of model and anticancer active Pt(IV) complexes with thiols and ascorbic acid and substitution reactions of cisplatin and model Pt(II) complexes with S-donor nucleophiles (rescue agents) have been investigated using stopped-flow and UV/VIS spectrophotometry.

As distributed systems continue to evolve, automatic resource management is becoming more and more impor tant. The resource management system must be able to dynamically handle large heterogeneous systems in a way that gives good performanceand resource utilization. In the performance context, allocating software modules to nodes in an efficient way is of high interest. This paper considers the pr

Gestures, the symbolic movements speakers perform while they speak, are systematically related to speech and language in non-trivial ways. This chapter presents an overview of what gestures can and cannot tell us about the monolingual and the bilingual mental lexicon. Gesture analysis opens for a broader view of the mental lexicon, targeting the interface between conceptual, semantic and syntactic

Eosinophils participate in the inflammatory response seen in allergy and helminthic infestation. Their release of granule-bound cationic proteins may play a role in these diseases. Therefore, we investigated mechanisms involved in the release of eosinophil cationic protein (ECP). Serum-opsonized zymosan was phagocytosed by eosinophils, and ECP was released into the phagosomes as judged by immunoel

This paper presents a sensitivity analysis of unsteady-state SOFC-GT-HS operation based on two different characteristic maps of centrifugal compressor taken from open literature and scaled by the law of similitude to match the design point of the Hybrid System. The system layout under investigation is a pressurised type comprising a low and high temperature recuperator. Computations are based on a

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen består av fem filosofihistoriska texter med en sociologisk och idéhistorisk orientering. Alla texterna rör sig inom samma tidsram, 1860-1910. De fokuserar vidare på filosofin i de nordiska länderna, och närmare bestämt universitetsfilosofin. Tre av texterna behandlar ämnets utveckling vid universiteten i Lund och Köpenhamn. Avhandlingens centrala tema är deThe dissertation comprises of five studies in the history of philosophy with primarily a sociological and history of ideas orientation.

Three of the texts take up the development of the discipline at the universities in Lund and Cope

The healthcare sector is resource intensive and consumes large amount of energy, water, and materials. A study on the release of carbon dioxide from a life cycle perspective of Region Scania's operations has shown that 41 % of the total CO2 emissions is related to material consumption. A later study showed that one of the products with large climate impact was waste bags and other waste wrapping s

Firms began to abandon the “silo” approach to risk management for more integration in the risk management system. Enterprise risk management (ERM) emerged as a framework for the management of integrated risks in a strategy setting supported by risk governance. Practically and empirically there has been no real consensus about what an ERM firm looks like. ERM frameworks provide a variety of concept
