In this study we investigated how managers make strategical decisions in complex, dynamic, and real-time environments and in different decision domains. The managers we interviewed were usually ‘in charge’ of the tasks. Our results show that the informants in the decision processes communicated with other persons, within and outside the organization, about the decision alternative/s and that these
This paper presents an analysis with the aim of characterizing the electromagnetic properties of an arbitrary linear, bianisotropic material inside a metallic waveguide. The result is that if the number of propagating modes is the same inside and outside the material under test, it is possible to determine the propagation constants of the modes inside the material by using scattering data from two
Popular Abstract in Swedish Bakgrund: Diabetes är en sjukdom som karakteriseras av kroniskt förhöjt blodsocker och som obehandlad kan leda till svåra komplikationer i blodkärl, ögon, njurar, nerver m.m. Sjukdomen beror på kroppens oförmåga att producera (typ 1 diabetes) eller svara på effekt av (typ 2 diabetes) hormonet insulin. Det finns ca 150 miljoner personer med diabetes i världen idag, och sType 2 diabetes is characterised by defects in insulin sensitivity, insulin secretion and increased endogenous glucose production. The relative contribution of each of these defects remains controversial. In order to characterise the metabolic defects in various stages of glucose tolerance, the insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion was measured in a large population based study in Finland and
An overview of the present knowledge about succinate:quinone oxidoreductase in Paracoccus denitrificans and Bacillus subtilis is presented. P. denitrificans contains a monoheme succinate:ubiquinone oxidoreductase that is similar to that of mammalian mitochondria with respect to composition and sensitivity to carboxin. Results obtained with carboxin-resistant P. denitrificans mutants provide inform
This book covers the results of two projects, ” Gender imbalances in undergraduate education” and “Gender sensitive teaching and gender perspectives on teaching”. The project ”Imbalances in undergraduate education”, highlights students genderrelated choice of academic education. The overall aim of the project is to investigate and raise awareness of the impact that students’ gender-related educati
Bidraget behandlar ungdomsmusikrörelsen i Tyskland under 1920- och 30-talen, och hur denna förhöll sig till begreppet kris. Krisen är av utommusikalisk karaktär; det rör sig om ”ungdomens, kulturens, världsåskådningens och samhällets kris”, inte primärt om musiken i sig. Med idéer hämtade från 1800-talet, som folktanken, lades grunden till musikaliska reformer som gav avtryck i musik- och sångunde
The thermal insulation of clothing is commonly determined by dry thermal manikins either made of plastic or metal. For the determination of evaporative resistance of clothing ensemble, there exist three types of manikin methods: pre-wetted underwear or “skin” covered on dry manikins, the manikin with regulated constant water supply to the “skin” surface and the sweating fabric manikin based on a w
Popular Abstract in Swedish Målsättningen med denna studien var att undersöka följderna på lång sikt av bakflöde av urin från blåsa till urinledare (reflux) och av njurärr hos vuxna med hänsyn till: uppkomst av nya njurärr, urinvägsinfektioner, ländsmärta, nedsatt njurfunktion, högt blodtryck, och om utbredningen av njurärr kan förutsäga den framtida utvecklingen av blodtryck och njurfunktion. EttThe aim was to study the long-term consequencies of vesicoureteral reflux and reflux nephropathy (RN) in adults, with regard to radiological progression, urinary tract infections, renal functional impairment, hypertension, and to determine if the extent of renal damage can predict the outcome. Attempts to differentiate between acquired and developmental renal damage were also made. 115 patients wi
Popular Abstract in Swedish Monoaminer Adrenalin, noradrenalin, dopamine, serotonin och histamin är samtliga monoaminer som fungerar som signalsubstanser och hormoner. Monoaminer är viktiga i många fysiologiska processer och obalans i deras nivåer ger ett brett spektrum av störningar. De klassiska är: serotoninbrist som ger depression, ångest och sömnstörningar, dopaminbrist ger motoriska störninThe present study explored the gene and protein expression of the monoamine transporters in human endometrium throughout the menstrual cycle, in early decidua and in placentas from normal as well as preeclamptic pregnancies using in-situ hybridization, real time-PCR, immunohistochemistry and primary tissue cultures. Four distinguishable patterns were observed in the endometrium over the menstrual
INTRODUCTION The actual heat loss may be underestimated especially in studies employing mild whole-body cooling, if AVA-rich distal areas are not taken into account. In the present report, we illustrate the skin temperature response pattern in fingers (rich in AVAs) to transient whole-body cooling as compared to non-acral body sites (without AVAs). METHODS Eight men participated in the study. Duri
Harold Bloom writes "One would have to be blind, deaf and dumb not to recognize that Shakespeare's equivocal comedy The Merchant of Venice is nevertheless a profoundly anti-Semitic work" (Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human, 171). This article examines the role which theological discourse plays in The Merchant of Venice. It also addressess the issue whether and under what circumstances Shakesp
