Syftet med denna uppsats är att med stöd av tre olika definitioner av familjeföretag, utreda om det föreligger systematiska skillnader mellan kapitalstrukturen i familjeföretag och icke-familjeföretag samt om förekomsten eller avsaknaden av sådana, kan förklaras av de teorier och tankegångar som presenteras i de praktiska- och teoretiska referensramarna. Uppsatsen har genomförts med hjälp av en kv
This paper examines how social relations and norms contribute to the emergence of generalized trust in economic action. Our core proposition is that the more positive the local social exchange relationship, the greater an actor’s propensity to place trust in strangers. Our research design integrates behavioral measures elicited by incentivized experimental trust games with survey data using a rand
We investigate the impact of nonvanishing net charge in collision systems on measurements of balance functions and their integrals. We show that the nominal balance function definition yields integrals that deviate from unity because of the nonvanishing net charge. However, the integral of unified balance functions is shown to appropriately converge to unity when measured in a sufficiently wide ex
We study whether CEOs of private firms differ from other people with regard to their strategic decisions and beliefs about others’ strategy choices. Such differences are interesting since CEOs make decisions that are economically more relevant, because they affect not only their own utility or the well-being of household members, but the utility of many stakeholders inside and outside of the organ
In this article, we present a multistage model to optimize inventory control decisions under stochastic demand and continuous review. We first formulate the general problem for continuous stages and use a decomposition solution approach: since it is never optimal to let orders cross, the general problem can be broken into a set of single-unit subproblems that can be solved in a sequential fashion.
The use of charge balance functions in heavy-ion collision studies was initially proposed as a probe of delayed hadronization and two-stage quark production in these collisions. It later emerged that general balance functions can also serve as a probe of the diffusivity of light quarks as well as the evolution of the systems formed in heavy-ion collisions. In this work, we reexamine the formulatio
Tumor resection of advanced pelvic and recurrence pelvic cancers is highly challenging, because the resections often are performed outside the standard surgical resections planes, and therefore are associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Knowledge of normal anatomy combined with improved imaging modalities and new technology give the best-possible preparation to clarify the tumor spe
Recording and analysing groundwater level data can reveal the nature and extension of groundwater processes like flow direction and recharge magnitude. The analyses can even indicate the influence of precipitation, evapotranspiration and runoff on the subsurface processes. However, such analyses are only possible when the recorded data cover relatively large periods of time at a suitable frequency
The program HiggsBounds is a well-established tool for testing Beyond-the-Standard Model (BSM) theories with an extended Higgs sector against experimental limits from collider searches at LEP, Tevatron and LHC. Thus far, it could be applied to any neutral or charged Higgs bosons originating from the modified Higgs sector. Implicitly, these particles were assumed to exhibit a somewhat hierarchical
Detaljhandeln är en bransch som har fått utstå kritik för att ha svårigheter med innovation. Samtidigt präglas dagens värld av globalisering där information sprids snabbt, bland annat är hållbarhet och grön konsumtion trender som blir större. Innovation är ett begrepp som i de flesta fall associeras med tekniska aspekter, för handeln kan det däremot handla om nya produkter eller affärsmodeller. Hä
Projekteringsprocessen i byggbranschen är i ständig förändring. Större och mer komplicerade byggnadsprojekt med högre krav på sig blir allt vanligare. En lyckad projektering är en lyckad produktion. Detta ligger som grund till att projekteringsprocessen måste fungera på ett effektivt sätt. Enligt Nasa och Stanford university är nyckeln till en lyckad projektering att korta ned tiden mellan fråga o
Uppsatsen använder de senaste decenniernas utveckling av de amerikanska vallagarna i en mer restriktiv riktning för att testa om Rational Choice-teorierna som förklaring av varför medborgare röstar eller inte har bäring i en 2000-talskontext. Detta gör vi eftersom Rational Choice-teorierna i vetenskapsdiskursen anses oförmögen som förklaring, vilket vi har anledning att ifrågasätta med tanke på de
Kommunalt självstyre utgör en fundamental grund för statsskicket, och lyfts tillsammans med parlamentarismen fram som det svenska folkstyrets grundpelare i 1 kap. 1 § RF. Denna uppsats övergripande syfte är att beskriva och analysera principen om det kommunala självstyret så som den kommer till uttryck i grundlag och i lagstiftning som ålägger kommunerna olika uppgifter (kommunernas obligatoriskaThe principle of local self-government (swe. kommunalt självstyre) is a fundamental basis in the organization of the Swedish state, and is pointed out along with parliamentarism as one of the cornerstones of Swedish democracy in 1 Ch. 1 § The Instrument of Government Act (regeringsformen). This essay's overall purpose is to describe and analyze the principle of municipal self-government as it
The water sorption properties of Kraft lignin before and after treatment with the enzyme laccase, and its composites with branched polyethylenimine and chitosan, respectively, have been studied. The experimental sorption isotherms were obtained by dynamic vapour sorption (DVS) method. The data were analysed using the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) and Guggenheim–Anderson–de Boer (GAB) models. Monola
The opacity of the Earth to incident ultrahigh energy neutrinos is directly connected with the behavior of the neutrino-nucleon (sigma(nu N)) cross sections in a kinematic range utterly unexplored. In this work we investigate how the uncertainties in sigma(nu N) due the different QCD dynamic models modify the neutrino absorption while they travel across the Earth. In particular, we compare the pre
The unique opportunity to study and control electron-nuclear quantum dynamics in coupled potentials offered by the resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) technique is utilized to unravel an anomalously strong two-electron one-photon transition from core-excited to Rydberg final states in the CO molecule. High-resolution RIXS measurements of CO in the energy region of 12-14 eV are presented and
