3. 2. A Tale of Two Concepts : Exploring the Relationship between Firm Performance and Multinationality

   Författare :Alice Schmuck; Katarina Lagerström; James Sallis; Mikael Hilmersson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; multinationality; firm performance; paradigmatic bias; performance-multinationality relationship; resource-based view; prospect theory; internationalization process model; Business Studies; Företagsekonomi;

   Sammanfattning : Despite being a pivotal topic over the past 50 years, the benefits and costs of internationalization are not well understood. A substantial body of research in international business, strategy, and general management is devoted to understanding firm internationalization and its connection to a firm’s financial performance; however, results are inconclusive.

7. 5. The relationship between reduced renal function and cardiovascular disease

   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; eGFR; creatinine; cystatin C; CKD-EPI; CKD; CVD; Genetics; Blood Pressure; Hypertension;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis examines the relationship between measures of renal function and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with hypertension (the NORDIL study) and in the healthy population (Malmö Diet and Cancer Study, MDC) and whether antihypertensive treatment response and the risk of CVD is affected by genetic variation of a regulator of the renal amiloroide sensitive sodium channel (NORDIL). In study 1 we tested creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) with Cockroft-Gault (CG) and the MDRD equations and also microalbuminuria (MA) as predictors of CVD, stroke and CVD death.
