A sound pedagogical framework must be explored and identified to implement opportunities for collaborative learning through international exchange. This paper identifies the framework used by two universities, in Sweden and the United States. Virtual learning environments and meaningful learning activities can be constructed using web-based learning platforms. The goal for this initiative was 'int
This essay suggests that the conceptualization of strategic communication as a field uniting several disciplines was an important step forward, but progress in absolute terms has been disappointing so far. Individual researchers open up new avenues of exploration and regularly arrive at answers to questions internally consistent with their respective perspectives. But the body of reasonably verifi
We outline and test a decision-making theory of new venture growth and survival. Building upon research in entrepreneurship and decision making under risk, we hypothesize that entrepreneurs’ attention to survival and aspiration reference points changes based on venture age (experience-based learning), size (differences in decision complexity), and performance decision domain.

Although small rural settlements are only minor individual sources of greenhouse gases and air pollution, their high overall occurrence can significantly contribute to the total emissions of a region or country. Emissions from a rural lifestyle may be remarkably different than those of urban and industrialized regions, but nevertheless they have hardly been studied so far. Here, flux measurements
Black carbon (BC), spheroidal carbonaceous particles (SCP), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are carbonaceous pollutants affecting the climate, environment, and human health. International regulations limit their emissions, and the present emissions are followed by monitoring programs. However, the monitoring programs have limited spatio-temporal coverage and only span the last decades.
In boreal summer, circumglobal Rossby waves can promote stagnating weather systems that favor extreme events like heat waves or droughts. Recent work showed that amplified Rossby wavenumber 5 and 7 show phase-locking behavior which can trigger simultaneous warm anomalies in different breadbasket regions in the Northern Hemisphere. These types of wave patterns thus pose a potential threat to human
Local political leaders as well as international organizations have embraced participatory budgeting in response to problems of political exclusion and citizens’ dissatisfaction with representative democracy. This article provides a framework to highlight important aspects of the politics of participation. The framework allows scholars to explore how factors external to spaces of participation int
Objectives: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows:. To assess the benefits and harms of dexmedetomidine compared with opioids, non-opioids and placebo in providing sedation and analgesia for procedural pain in newborn infants.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change needs to do more to include the expertise and voices of women, even as numbers and policies improve.
Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2 m above the ground. These climatic grids do not reflect conditions below vegetation canopies and near the ground surface, where critical ecosystem functions occur and most terrestrial species reside. Here, we provide global maps of soil temperature and biocl
Behavioural Activation (BA) is an established treatment for adults with depression, and research on BA for adolescents is promising. However, there is a knowledge gap in terms of the experiences of adolescents and their parents BA for depression delivered online. Furthermore, there have been no previous studies conducted on the experiences of respondents with regard to the role of the therapist in
Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) is suggested to be solved by policies and action plans. However, post-structural scholars argue that discourses shape policies, and their solutions. The policy discourse on women with disabilities’ SRHR needs has not been given much attention, especially in the context of Africa. Therefore, this study questions how SRHR is represented in relation to
The MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region enjoys a high availability of clean renewable energy sources, especially solar. In recent years, several countries within the region have introduced policy instruments to encourage the deployment of distributed solar photovoltaic (PV). This thesis reviews and evaluates policy instruments adopted in Egypt, Palestine and Tunisia. The experiences from th
This thesis addresses the Science-Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in the context of two case studies on HEXPOL AB and Nolato AB. Findings suggest that companies with an advanced approach to sustainability usually have already implemented the SBTi. Therefore, for these companies, implementation of this initiative does not result in major internal or external changes. The interviews suggest that imp
The cost of healthcare in Sweden has risen steadily since the beginning of the 21st century and one of the major contributors to the increase are chronic diseases. Chronic diseases are complex and long-lasting disorders which cause disability and death worldwide. To counter the increasing trend, studies show that advancements in digitizing parts of the healthcare could make the treatment of patien
This study examines the extent to which rational communication influences consumer purchase intention for running shoes compared to emotional communication, and whether gender and need for cognition (NFC) moderate this relationship. Drawing on the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) as its theoretical framework, the study employed a between-subjects experimental design with a randomized online surv
TEDDY-studien följer barn från födseln fram till 15 års ålder för att ta reda på vilka omgivningsfaktorer inklusive vitaminer som kan bidra till autoantikroppar som kan leda till autoimmun typ 1-diabetes. I denna undersökning analyserades intag av sju olika B-vitaminer i mat och som tillskott. Intaget beräknades med hjälp av de matdagböcker som föräldrarna fyllt i för totalt 8500 barn. Matdagböcke
