    Abstract : Introduction: Chronic illness is an increasingly predominant problem among the world population which vastly impacts on physical and mental health, quality of life and social functioning.

  4. 22. Asymmetry and the moderating effects of formal institutional distance on the relationship between cultural distance and performance of foreign subsidiaries in Latin America

    Author : Henrique Correa da Cunha; Svante Andersson; Mohamed Amal; Mikael Hilmersson; Högskolan i Halmstad; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Asymmetry; institutional distance; cultural distance; subsidiary; performance; Latin America;

    Abstract : This study investigates how Cultural and Formal Institutional distances and their interaction affect the performance of multinational foreign subsidiaries in Latin America. It is shown that using Kogut and Singh (1988) index or attributing the positive and negative signals to distances in opposite directions fail to capture asymmetric effects as it assumes either symmetry or opposing symmetry.

  7. 25. Mechanisms of inter-organ crosstalk mediated by tryptophan metabolism

    Author : Paula Sofia Valente da Silva; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Physical exercise and nutrition balance the “energy in-energy out” equilibrium that keeps the system at a dynamic homeostasis, energetically speaking. However, this is a simplistic vision of a dynamic system that is in a constant fine-tuning of all of its parts. READ MORE
