Dommer Niels Weber og hans kone Marianne traf ved datteren Noras fødsel en vigtig beslutning. Den kommer senere til at ændre både deres indbyrdes forhold og den 18-årige Noras liv. "Et litterært indslag i debatten om børns, menneskers, ret til at kende deres egne rødder." - Jyllands-Posten. "Nora begyndte at ryste. Hvad betød de? Hvad ville hun skrive? Hvad var det, hun havde antydet her i eftermiddag? Hun bladrede videre og følte sig ussel over at rode i sin mors breve. Der lå et par personlige fra Niels. Hun trak hånden til sig og puffede dem væk. Tog dem frem igen, sad længe med dem mellem hænderne, og lettede på kuverten, lukkede til igen og søgte videre. Der var flest regninger, et par rykkere. Det lignede ikke Marianne. Hun rejste sig hurtigt. Hjertet bankede uregelmæssigt. Hun gav sig til at rede sengen, stille sko på plads, lægge undertøj i vaskekurven og slukkede lyset. Det susede i hendes øren, hovedpinen lagde sig tungt bag panden, hun for ned i kiosken for at hente flere Prince og købte et par poser slik. Hvad var det, Marianne ville fortælle hende?
Transition economies, such as the countries in Southeast Europe, face an expeditious institutional transition from a centrally planned to a market economy. The state withdraws from its monitoring function, which results in institutional voids that affect the economy in general and small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in specific. With a qualitative case study approach Tine Schrammel develops a scheme to detect institutional voids as one source of competitive disadvantages of SMEs in transition economies. In a second step she demonstrates that specific cluster services bridge institutional voids and improve the competitive position of SMEs in environments of institutional voids. The findings add to the understanding of institutional voids and to the role of clusters in transition economies.
This is a Ph.D. dissertation. The present thesis forms an integral part of the efforts to understand the molecular mechanisms and the biological and clinical significance of increased lipogenesis in tumor cells. In part I, it is explored whether the PI3-kinase/Akt pathway, a signal transduction cascade which is frequently dysregulated and constitutively activated in cancer cells, may contribute to increased lipogenesis. In part II, the authors have tried to gain more insight into the functional significance of tumor-associated lipogenesis by unraveling the nature and fate of newly synthesized lipids in cancer cells. To put these studies in a proper perspective, the authors will provide a more detailed overview of the present understanding of the mechanisms, the role and the clinical significance of increased lipogenesis in human cancer.
