The First Date: an Investor Pitch

Forskningsfråga: Vilka investeringskriterier bedömer investeringsansvariga i riskkapitalbolag i en pitch och hur påverkar informationen i pitchen deras beslutsfattande? Syfte: Att undersöka och kontextualisera vilka investeringskriterier riskkapitalister bedömer i de olika nivåerna av en pitch och analysera effekten av informationen som presenteras i pitchen på deras beslutsfattande. Metod: En kResearch question: What investment criteria in a pitch do managers of venture capital firms assess and how does the information presented in the pitch affect their decision-making? Purpose: To examine and contextualize what investment criteria venture capitalists assess in the different levels of a pitch and analyze the effect of the information presented in the pitch on their decision-making.

The virtue of extraction and decolonial recollection in Gállok, Sápmi

Swedish mining is often envisioned as virtuous, as coinciding harmoniously with quests for sustainability and the cultural survival of indigenous Sami peoples. This chapter posits that Sweden’s sense of exceptionalism in mining is embedded in a colonial/extractive system of knowledge that fails to mention non-capitalist, anticolonial relationalities to nature and ways of life. The normalised statu

Molecular Imprinted Nanocomposites for Green Chemistry

Nanocomposite materials which are considered ‘green’ refer to non-toxic, biodegradable and renewable nanocomposites. The reasons of preferring green nanocomposites much more could be explained by environmental friendly, fully degradability, renewability and sustainability in all respects. Furthermore, the production of green nanocomposites should not be based on toxic chemicals. When their functio

The Northern Flank : New Security Policy Institutional Framework

February 24, 2022, has become a turning point for the security situation in Northern Europe. Up until Russia’s attack on Ukraine, cooperation around the greater Baltic Sea Region had been highly successful in a variety of areas such as environmental protection, transportation networks, municipal networks, and innovative economies. All this was dealt a serious blow when Russian forces launched a fu

Lake salinization drives consistent losses of zooplankton abundance and diversity across coordinated mesocosm experiments

Human-induced salinization increasingly threatens inland waters; yet we know little about the multifaceted response of lake communities to salt contamination. By conducting a coordinated mesocosm experiment of lake salinization across 16 sites in North America and Europe, we quantified the response of zooplankton abundance and (taxonomic and functional) community structure to a broad gradient of e

Framgångsfaktorer som motiverar statliga tjänstemän inom arbetsförmedlingen

Vi ägnar en stor del av våra liv på arbetet och det är genom vår roll vi tvingas uppfylla de krav som förväntas på oss. Vad vi gör i våra liv avgörs till stor del av vad vi gör på jobbet men om arbetet inte är utvecklande och inte ger någon sorts tillfredsställelse riskerar vi att tappa motivationen. Syftet med denna studie är att öka förståelsen på vilka faktorer som motiverar arbetsförmedlare oc

Cultural Adaptation of Interventions and the a Priori Assessment of Intervention Fit : Exploring Measurement Invariance for American and Swedish Youth Leaving Care

Purpose: There is a growing literature on the importance of cultural adaptation of research-supported social work interventions. Few studies have however offered systematic methods for the a priori assessment of intervention fit in a new context. The current study explores the use of measurement invariance analyses to help identify whether key theoretical constructs in an intervention’s theory of

Olfactory Impairment in Parkinson's Disease Studied with Diffusion Tensor and Magnetization Transfer Imaging

BACKGROUND: Olfactory impairment is an early manifestation of Parkinson's disease (PD). Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and Magnetization Transfer (MT) are two imaging techniques that allow noninvasive detection of microstructural changes in the cerebral white matter.OBJECTIVE: To assess white matter alterations associated with olfactory impairment in PD, using a binary imaging approach with DTI an

Amplification of Molecular Recognition Signal on Imprinted Polymers Using Hybridization Chain Reaction

Hybridization chain reaction (HCR)-based amplification strategies have shown excellent prospects of application in detection thanks to its non-enzymatic and isothermal features. For protein biomarker detection, most bioanalytical assays are dependent on antibodies or aptamers to provide specific recognition to allow single strand DNA (ssDNA) to initiate specific HCR to realize effective signal amp

A dose planning study for cardiac and lung dose sparing techniques in left breast cancer radiotherapy : Can free breathing helical tomotherapy be considered as an alternative for deep inspiration breath hold?

Purpose: To investigate the possibility to be able to offer left sided breast cancer patients, not suitable for DIBH, an organ at risk saving treatment. Materials and Methods: Twenty patients receiving radiotherapy for left breast cancer in DIBH were enrolled in the study. Planning CT scans were acquired in the same supine treatment position in FB and DIBH. 3DCRT_DIBH plans were designed and optim

The characteristics of Michelin-starred restaurants in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan

Chinese culinary culture has a long history of development and has unique characteristics, attracting people from all over the world. As a world-renowned restaurant award, the Michelin Guide in China plays an influential role in introducing Chinese culinary culture to the world and destination branding, while few studies have investigated Michelin-starred restaurants (MSRs) in China. This study th

Maldi-target integrated microfluidic PSA assay

An Integrated Selective Enrichment Target (ISET), microfabricated for efficient on-bead enzymatic digestion of proteins compatible for a direct interface with matrix-assisted laser desorption /ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS) is presented.
