This study contributes a novel perspective on how new venture teams navigate task re-allocation during the new venture development phase. It highlights the relevance of task re-allocation conflict, shows how “negative affect expectations” shape the unfolding of such conflicts, and demonstrates why acting out conflict and its associated negative affect can enable team members to make substantial ta

Politiker och stadsplanerare lyfter fram kultur och kreativitet som centrala i samhällsutvecklingen. Men vad är det som gör kulturellt och kreativt företagande särskilt intressant i ett samhällsekonomiskt perspektiv? Vilka fördelar eller begränsningar ger utvecklingsstöd till sådana företag?Katja Lindqvist har kartlagt vad man har gjort i Sverige för att stödja utvecklingen av kulturella och kreat

This paper investigates whether a City Scan Procedure (CSP) can be developed into a value enhancing and economically acceptable solution to make cultural tourismsustainable. The purpose of developing CSP into an established method is both to relieve stressed tourist destinations with strong anti-tourist reactions via site relocations and that its revenues primarily accrues to the host country, thu

This paper investigates how stakeholders respond to digital feasibility study images to augmented reality (AR), with the purpose to determine if AR could be the right practical application to create Virtual tourism. Based on the visitors’ perspective via qualitative interviews, the goal is to explore whether a digitalization in a realistic way, manages to mediate the concealed time layers and othe

With robots increasingly succeeding in exhibiting more human-like behaviours, humans may be more likely to ‘forgive’ their errors and continue to trust them as a result of ascribing higher, more human-like intelligence to them. If an integral aspect of successful HRI is to accurately communicate the competence of a robot, it can be argued that the technical success of the robot in exhibiting human

Trust in Human-Robot Interaction is a widely studied subject, and yet, few studies have examined the ability to speak and how it impacts trust towards a robot. Errors can have a negative impact on perceived trustworthiness of a robot. However, there seem to be mitigating effects, such as using a humanoid robot, which has been shown to be perceived as more trustworthy when having a high error-rate

In 1921, disgruntled and radicalised veterans of the First World War organised the Ukrainian Military Organisation (UVO) after unsuccessfully taking up arms for Ukrainian independence. In 1929 the UVO merged with a number of other far-right groups and student fraternities into the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists. The leading figure in the 1920s and 1930s was Evhen’ Konovalets’, a former col

A polyethylene terephthalate (PET)-degrading bacterium identified as Stenotrophomonas maltophilia PRS8 was isolated from the soil of a landfill. The degradation of the PET bottle flakes and the PET prepared as a powder were assessed using live cells, an extracellular medium, or a purified cutinase-like enzyme. These treated polymers were analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (F

These interviews are part of a major research project that is based on interviews and discussions with influential decision-makers, facilitators, mediators and negotiators who were involved in the Israel-PLO peace negotiations over the past three decades, as well as on archival research in Oslo, London, Washington and Jerusalem. Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with more than 80

The increase in extreme weather confirms that in order to slow down climate change, unnecessary travel must be reduced. Consequently, tourism industry has an obligation to start launching more environmentally friendly travel concepts and replace destructive charter tourism until sufficient emission-free vehicles that run on electricity become norm. Developing Staycation into innovative and attract

Prosperous cities have constantly changed and their ability to adapt to contemporary commercial demands has always been rewarded, but this may no longer be the case. Delhi residents are now paying a high price for this endeavor with schools closed due to toxic air caused by high levels of carbon dioxide. Although previous urban transformations by drastic demolition had an insignificant climate imp

This research aims to present a synopsis of four eminent theoretical concepts that scholars have expended to help understand how digitalisation has changed the workplace as we used to know it. The research is based on a conceptual approach. It aims to critically synthesise the relevant literature as the principal methodology for analysing work in the selected four research domains where the perspe

Aqueous dispersions of charged-neutral block copolymers (poly(acrylamide)-b-poly(acrylate)) complexed with an oppositely charged surfactant (dodecyltrimethylammonium) have been prepared by different approaches: the simple mixing of two solutions (MS approach) containing the block copolymer and surfactant, with their respective simple counterions, and dispersion of a freeze-dried complex salt prepa

Highly deprived urban contexts, such as informal settlements in the global south, can turn into niches of extreme innovation and sparkle ingenuity out of necessity. But what are the rationales behind the participation of disadvantaged communities in social innovations? Why do they engage in grassroots innovations? What is it that makes these grassroots try novelties and continue experimenting with

STUDY OBJECTIVES: The aim was to evaluate nasal polyposis as a risk factor for nonadherence to continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) treatment in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). METHODS: This was a population-based, longitudinal analysis of patients starting CPAP treatment for OSA in the Swedish quality registry Swedevox between 2010 and 2018. Data were cross-linked with national
