This paper treats the significance of organization-based social identity for loyalty versus exit reactions with special reference to knowledge-intensive companies. The centrality of network relations and close contact with clients in combination with the sometimes drastic consequences of knowledge workers defecting in many knowledge-intensive companies makes social identification and loyalty cruci

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways, affecting and disablingapproximately 300 million people worldwide. The inflammatory profile ischaracterized by infiltration of eosinophils, which are a rich source of factors thatare implicated in tissue remodeling. The chronic inflammatory response and theremodeled phenotype create a hospitable environment for secondary bacterialinfections.

Non-specific chromosomal aberrations (CAs) are microscopically detected in about 1% of lymphocytes drawn from healthy persons. Causes of CAs in general population are not known but they may be related to risk of cancer. In view of the importance of the mitotic checkpoint machinery on maintaining chromosomal integrity we selected 9 variants in main checkpoint related genes (BUB1B, BUB3, MAD2L1, CEN

PurposeThe aim of this paper is to study the rhetoric of goodwill impairment, more specifically rhetoric, as it is constructed in the form of accounts (i.e. statements that explain unanticipated or untoward behavior). The authors argue that goodwill impairment is not only a technical matter but also a rhetorical practice by means of which external scrutiny is responded to.Design/methodology/approa

Objectives: As mortality of septic shock decreases, new therapies focus on improving short-term organ dysfunction. However, it is not known whether short-term organ dysfunction is associated with long-term mortality of septic shock. Design: Retrospective single-center. Setting: Mixed medical-surgical ICU. Patients: One thousand three hundred and thirty-one patients with septic shock were included

Panel 20 - Collaboration in New Configurations: Ethnologists’ Teaching and Research in Multidisciplinary SettingsIn this presentation I would like to talk about the feelings that multidisciplinary work may evoke. When an ethnologist leaves the mothership, the department of Ethnology, and seeks new ways, a feeling of homesickness is likely to emerge, notwithstanding the free choice. In a new interd

“Across all borders”: An investigation into media activities and the Scandinavian Media Model in 1959In this case study we are going to investigate two different radio productions that in interesting ways were crossing the geographical borders between the countries Sweden and Norway and between Sweden and Denmark in the year of 1959. Through the concepts of border (see Hurd et al. 2006) showing ho

Despite having been subject to a strong and many-sided critique, instrumental rationality persists as paramount in transport planning practice and research. This paper argues that it is crucial to acknowledge the prescriptive and normative facet of instrumental rationality in order to understand its impact on transport planning. The aim is to explore to what extent pedestrian planning – within a s

Poly(arylene ether sulfone)s containing randomly distributed biphenyl units tethered with precisely six imidazolium cations are designed and prepared with the aim to facilitate ionic clustering and conductivity of anion exchange membranes (AEMs). A series of statistical copolymers with different cationic contents are synthesized via K2CO3-mediated polycondensations of 2,2′,3,3′,5,5′-hexamethyl-4,4

Abstract in French:Cet article propose une synthèse des résultats d'un projet de recherches sur le développement du français par des enfants L2 (L1 suédois) dont l'âge de début d'acquisition (ÂdA) varie entre 3;5 ans et 6;5 ans. Nous résumons les résultats principaux sur différentes structures grammaticales, notamment la finitude, les objets clitiques, le genre, l'accord sujet-verbe et les formes

Objectives: Few studies have examined how lifestyle factors affect functional gastrointestinal disorders. The aim of this study was to see if leisure time physical inactivity, dietary habits or body mass index (BMI) were associated with increased risk of functional abdominal pain, functional bloating, functional constipation or functional diarrhea. Methods and materials: This study was based on a

Background: Prescribing of antibiotics for common infections varies widely, and there is no medical explanation. Systematic reviews have highlighted factors that may influence antibiotic prescribing and that this is a complex process. It is unclear how factors interact and how the primary care organization affects diagnostic procedures and antibiotic prescribing. Therefore, we sought to explore an

Tonsättaren, radiomedarbetaren och musikern Hans Holewa (1905–1991) anlände till Sverige 1937 som landsflyktig undan den tilltagande antisemitismen i Wien, drygt ett halvår innan Österrike annekterades av Nazityskland. Som invandrad radikal tonsättare med den så kallade tolvtonstekniken som utgångspunkt, med judiskt påbrå och med engagemang inom vänsterrörelsen kom Holewas svenska exiltillvaro utg

Objective: We aimed to test whether in vivo levels of magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) metabolites myo-inositol (mI), N-acetylaspartate (NAA), and choline are abnormal already during preclinical Alzheimer disease (AD), relating these changes to amyloid or tau pathology, and functional connectivity. Methods: In this cross-sectional multicenter study (a subset of the prospective Swedish BioFIND
