Purpose – The purpose of this study is to understand the identity of the Nobel Prize as a corporate heritage brand and its management challenges. Design/methodology/approach – An in-depth case study analysed within a heritage brand model and a corporate brand identity framework. Findings – The Nobel Prize is a corporate heritage brand – one whose value proposition is based on heritage – in this

Infections during pregnancy have been suggested to be involved in childhood leukemias. We used high-throughput sequencing to describe the viruses most readily detectable in serum samples of pregnant women. Serum DNA of 112 mothers to leukemic children was amplified using whole genome amplification. Sequencing identified one TT virus (TTV) isolate belonging to a known type and two putatively new TT

The Zn-61(30)31 nucleus has been studied via the combined data of two fusion-evaporation reaction experiments using a Ar-36 beam and a Si-28 target foil. The experimental setups involved the Ge array GAMMASPHERE and neutron and charged particle detectors placed around the target position. The resulting level scheme comprises about 120 excited states connected via some 180 gamma-ray transitions. In

To analyse the moisture performance of wall systems with a ventilated rainscreen cladding, the air change rate per hour (ACH) is required. However, the average ACH and its variation depend on many factors. This study focuses on performing field measurements of air velocities and temperatures in south oriented wall cavities characterised by either vertical wooden battens or horizontal vented metal

Examples of the change of neutron shell structure in both weakly bound and resonant neutron one-particle levels in nuclei towards the neutron drip line are exhibited. It is shown that the shell-structure change due to the weak binding may lead to the deformation of those nuclei with the neutron numbers N approximate to 8, 20, 28 and 40, which are known to be magic numbers in stable nuclei. Nuclei

Recension av Per-Martin Meyerson, Judiskt liv i Europa 1786–1933 – integrationsprocess med förhinder.

Background: Palliative care is not a priority in developing countries. Hospice Africa Uganda (HAU), where nurses complete a course in clinical palliative care, is considered a model for other African countries. Aim: To explore the role of the palliative care nurse specialist (PCNS) in Uganda. METHODS: This ethnographic field study uses observations, interviews, and group interviews. Participants:

Chymosin-induced gelation properties of the milk of around 400 Swedish Red dairy cows was investigated with the aim of identifying genetic protein variants that influence chymosin-induced gelation for optimisation of cheese milk through breeding practices. The variation in chymosin-induced gelation properties was shown to be large in the milk of Swedish Red and there was a high frequency of cows p

Pure rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) spectra of N2O was recorded in a series of temperature calibrated cell measurements in the region 295-796K. A theoretical rotational CARS code for N2O was implemented and temperature analysis was performed by fitting the modeled theoretical spectra to the experimental spectra. Excellent agreement between the experimental and modeled spec

Background: The necessity of referral of adolescents with anorectal malformation (ARM) from pediatric units to adult care is unclear. The issue requires knowledge about the adolescents´ health. Objective: To examine the physical outcome, sexual health and quality of life (QoL) in adolescents with ARM. Material and method: At medical counseling twenty-four adolescents with ARM, 15-21 years of age,

Integrated Water Management (IWM) in line with the European Union Water Framework Directive (WFD) promotes a collaborative-oriented approach to tackle water management issues. This requires the participation of various government departments and stakeholder groups along with scientists and experts from different scientific disciplines. Conflict, arising from the diversity of perspectives, beliefs

A pollen diagram from a small peat bog on the island of Tristan da Cunha in the central South Atlantic (37 degrees 05'S, 12 degrees 17'W) is presented. The pollen diagram contains data from both introduced and native plant taxa. The earliest pollen grains from introduced Plantago lanceolata are dated to around AD 1570, and probably represent unintentional introductions of weeds by the earliest Por

Popular Abstract in Danish Denne afhandling undersøger, hvordan litteratur og film, som omhandler tilintetgørelsen af de europæiske jøder under anden verdenskrig, har ændret sig siden 1970’erne i det kommunistiske og efter 1989 postkommunistiske Polen. Hovedtesen er, at melodrama, forstået som en global, populær fortællestil og fortælleteknik, er kommet til at spille en stadig større rolle, ikke mThis thesis examines how melodrama, defined as a complex, distinctly modern and transnational mode of storytelling with lasting impact on the culture of global modernity, has influenced the area of Polish Holocaust representation since the late 1970s till the present. Within a methodological frame that seeks to combine textual and contextual analysis, the study poses a set of questions that can be

Polar solvation dynamics Of two Solute molecules in a series of 1-alcohols has been studied using the three-pulse photon echo peak shift technique. The inertial dynamics, on sub-200 fs timescale, is essentially independent of solvent in the 1-alcohol series. For a given solute, the solvent dependence is mainly manifested in the diffusive solvation dynamics. The solute dependence appears as a signi

Abstract in UndeterminedThis paper studies how different NOx abatement technologies have diffused under the Swedish system of refunded emissions charges and analyzes the determinants of the time to adoption. The policy, under which the charge revenues are refunded back to the regulated firms in proportion to energy output, was explicitly designed to affect investment in NOx-reducing technologies.
