2. 1. Management Accounting Fashion Setting - Studies on Supply-Side Actors in Sweden

   Author : Elin Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; beyond budgeting; lean; lifecycle pattern; management accounting innovation; management fashion; management fashion-setting process; supply side;

   Abstract : The successful introduction of a number of new management accounting concepts or management accounting innovations (MAIs) over recent decades, such as activi-ty-based costing and the balanced scorecard, has had a significant impact on man-agement accounting practice. This thesis adopts a management fashion perspective on new management accounting concepts, which views the activities of supply-side actors such as management consultants, the business press, and conference organizers, as crucial to the success of management accounting concepts in a mar-ketplace of potential users.

4. 2. The diffusion of a balanced scorecard in a divisionalized firm : Adoption and implementation in a practical context

   Author : Simone Wenisch; Lars G. Hassel; Kerstin Nilsson; Marko Järvenpää; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Business studies; diffusion of innovations; intra-firm diffusion; management accounting change; Balanced Scorecard; network perspective; implementation process; Företagsekonomi; Business studies; Företagsekonomi;

   Abstract : Diffusion studies are commonly associated with the dissemination of innovations across legally and economically independent organizational units. Suggesting a new perspective on the existing diffusion literature, this thesis argues that diffusion of innovations is a relevant issue to study also on a (formally) micro–level of investigation.

6. 4. Multiscale modeling of atomic transport phenomena in ferritic steels

   Author : Luca Messina; Pär Olsson; Nils Sandberg; Pål Efsing; Pascal Bellon; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; diffusion; impurities; iron; metals; kinetic Monte Carlo; ab initio; mean field; defects; embrittlement; reactor pressure vessel; neural networks; Fysik; Physics;

   Abstract : Defect-driven transport of impurities plays a key role in the microstructure evolution of alloys, and has a great impact on the mechanical properties at the macroscopic scale. This phenomenon is greatly enhanced in irradiated materials because of the large amount of radiation-induced crystal defects (vacancies and interstitials). READ MORE

7. 5. DNA-Controlled Lipid-Membrane Fusion

   Author : Lisa Simonsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; exocytosis; vesicles; DNA; FRET; fluorescence resonance energy transfer; model system; total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy; TIRF microscopy; self-assembly; site-specificity; diffusion; biomembranes; lipid bilayer; membrane fusion;

   Abstract : Membrane fusion is essential for nerve-cell communication, for protein transport between cell organelles and the cell-membrane and for enabling the merger between virus and host membranes during virus infection. We have demonstrated that short DNA oligonucleotides, membrane-attached via CH in an orientation that mimics the overall zipperlike architecture of fusion-inducing proteins, induce fusion of both suspended vesicles and vesicles site-specifically tethered to SLBs.
