Problem: Det finns flera teorier kring olika utdelningsstrategier. Vad forskare inte är eniga om är huruvida företagsledningar använder utdelningsförändringar för att minska informationsasymmetrin mellan ledningen och ägarna genom att informera något om företagets framtida vinst, och i så fall vad dessa signaler säger. Syfte: Studiens syfte är att undersöka huruvida det finns något samband mellan
Steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence studies were performed on aqueous solutions of poly(acrylic acid) hydrophobically modified with two very different levels of naphthalene (Np). It is demonstrated that unique information on association phenomena involving hydrophobe-modifed polymers can be obtained from an extended fluorescence study by using data for a less-modified polymer as a referenc
Popular Abstract in Swedish Komplementsystemet är en del av immunförsvaret. Virus har utarbetat sätt för att skydda sig från komplementsystemet. Det humana herpesviruset KSHV (Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus) har i sitt genom en gen som kodar för ett protein som vi har döpt till KCP (KSHV complement control protein). KCP har en transmembran del och en extracellulär del med fyra proteindomäViruses have developed several strategies to evade the complement system, a part of the immune system. The fourth open reading frame of the human virus Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) encodes a type 1 transmembrane protein. This contains four complement control protein domains (CCP domains), and is thus structurally similar to human complement inhibitors. We named it KSHV complement
An experiment has been performed to search for superdeformed (SD) states in Dy-149,Dy-150. While no evidence for discrete superdeformed states has been observed, a superdeformed ridge with a separation of Delta E-gamma=52 keV with a total intensity of 1.8+/-0.5% that of Dy-150 has been observed. An upper limit of 0.8% (0.9%), of the intensity of Dy-150 (Dy-149), is placed for observation of the mo
Aim: To investigate whether there is any pharmacokinetic rationale for the common practice of administering vincristine to adolescents at relatively lower doses than those to younger children. Methods: A total of 98 children, aged 1.3-17.3 y, with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) were studied on day I of induction therapy. Plasma samples were drawn before and 10, 30, 360 and 1380 min after inje
The crystal structure of superoxide dismutase (SOD) from the hyper thermophile Sulfolobus solfataricus has been determined at 2.3 Å resolution by molecular replacement and refined to a crystallographic R-factor of 16.8 % (Rfree 19.8 %). The crystals belong to the space group C2 (a = 76.3 Å, b = 124.3 Å,c = 60.3 Å, β = 128.8°) with two identical monomers in the asymmetric unit. The monomer has a mo
The Volgo-Uralia segment, which constitutes one fourth of the East European Craton, is covered by sedimentary deposits. From geophysical studies and examination of thousands of drillcores, Volgo-Uralia has been recognised as a vast high-grade terrain with a complex crustal history extending from the Palaeoarchaean to the Palaeoproterozoic. Our recent studies are focused on the search for the oldes
Introduction: Streptococcus dysgalactiae can cause severe recurrent infections. This study aimed to investigate antibody responses following S. dysgalactiae bacteraemia and possible development of protective immunity. Materials and Methods: Patients with S. dysgalactiae bacteraemia in the county of Skåne between 2017 and 2018 were prospectively included. Acute and convalescent sera were obtained.
Both access to and use of external sources of finance by entrepreneurial ventures have transformed significantly over the past 10-15 years, which may have induced an important shift in the role of business angels (BAs). In this chapter we elaborate on this changing role of BAs, and in particular on the value creation provided by BAs in the new financial landscape. We propose to reframe the discuss
The particular properties of argumental compounds in Italian pose interesting theoretical challenges, and investigations of possible syntactic operations within this type of complex words have resulted in conflicting conclusions. Regarding compoundinternal anaphora, some researchers exclude the possibility that pronouns can refer to the non-head, while others do not. However, these findings have b
Food security and environmental sustainability are increasingly threatened by the current degradative practices of the agri-food industry. To mitigate the adverse environmental impacts of the agri-food supply chain, the circular food economy has been proposed as a strategy to enhance biodiversity, improve access to nutritious foods and reduce the industry’s greenhouse gas emissions. However, progr
Large-scale restoration projects are being increasingly used to address land degradation and global climate change. While these initiatives are promising, an overemphasis on tree planting may contribute to ecological degradation and carbon loss. This thesis critically examines the AFR100 initiative in southern Africa through literature analysis and expert interviews. By integrating perspectives fr
This study aims to explore the impact of Short Local Food Supply Chains (SLFSCs) from the perspectives of producers and consumers in rural Spanish areas. Focused on the marginalized and rural areas such as Valle del Jerte (Cáceres,Extremadura) and La Garrotxa (Girona, Catalonia), this research employs a mixed-method approach, integrating qualitative data from interviews with supplementary survey

This Case Study is about the Pepsi Number Fever incident in the Philippines (1993). A Nationwide disaster that ruined Pepsi's reputation in that country. Riots, Deaths, Bombing, Law suits, everything happened. Pepsi was in a really bad spot and things needed to be fixed. Including, Written Case, Management Decision, Teaching Notes and Presentation, this is the perfect Case for a Case Solving c
Diverse perspectives are essential to the advancement of biodiversity science, yet persistent structural biases continue to shape who is seen and heard in academic spaces. Despite efforts to promote inclusivity, it remains unclear whether increased representation translates into equitable visibility and engagement from peers. Seminar talks, key arenas for idea exchange and networking, offer a wind
Over the last decades, linguistic gender-fair forms have become increasingly used by individuals and official institutions. In the French-speaking sphere, this has led to heated discussions among politicians and other stakeholders, some of which claim that these forms render texts illegible and inaccessible to the greater public. However, the processing of gender-fair forms in reading has been the
