One central concept within this discussion is social inclusion. However, is

In this paper, we attempt to deconstruct the digital narratives of migrant to explore how they may lead to a meaningful assessment of their acculturation and consequent integration in their host societies’. Drawing on acculturation theory as a lens, we argue

Women in developing nations are facing many challenges in order to become entrepreneurs. Inequalities are common both in the working environment and the society. The unemployment among youth, in particular women, is a severe problem in many developing countries, including Uganda in East Africa. Organisations and development programs across the world are trying to address and solve these challenges

[Based on the publisher's comments:] This book reflects upon and critiques the potential of citizen-consumer's to alter their natural consuming habits and to 'shop ethically, 'care for the environment' and 'think glocally' so as to reduce environmental harm. Developing a substantial challenge to the existing accepted theories, this book sets out a groundbreaking approach to understanding citizen-

The rapid adoption of generative AI in organisations has given rise to a growing phenomenon known as Shadow AI, which refers to the informal and unsanctioned use of AI tools by employees outside organisational oversight. This study examines what governance mechanisms organisations in Sweden, using Microsoft Copilot, implement to manage risks associated with Shadow AI. A qualitative research approa

Currently, industries are actively pursuing heat decarbonization solutions, yet face challenges in identifying and understanding suitable options for their facilities. Thermal energy storage (TES), systems that capture and store renewable energy for prolonged periods to provide superheated steam, are presented as a promising but relatively recent solution for decarbonizing heat-intensive industrie

This thesis examines the Norwegian state’s environmental injustice towards the South Saami through the development of Roan and Storheia wind farms on Fosen, in Trøndelag.

By building on th

This study emphasizes the significance of social media influencer traits, such as expert, trustworthiness, likeability, and homophily, in determining the legitimacy of social media influencers as a formative construct in Sweden's fashion sector. It successfully instils brand image in customers, which leads to purchase intentions. More decisively, brand image influences the link between the tru

Since the Lisbon Treaty failed in strengthening the EU’s global actorness – not least within Russia’s sphere of interest – the EU has been described as ‘a global actor past its peak’. However, following Azerbaijan’s aggressions on Armenian sovereign territory in September 2022, Armenia invited the EU to deploy a CSDP mission in the country. Since Armenia is one of Russia’s closest allies and CSDP

In this paper we explored text production differences in an expository text production task between writers who looked mainly at the keyboard and writers who looked mainly at the monitor. Eye-tracking technology and keystroke-logging were combined to systematically describe and define these two groups in respect of the complex interplay between text production and the reading of one's own emerging

The Maputo Declaration was launched in 2003 as a response to the stagnation of African agriculture. The signatories agreed that 10% of public expenditure should be spent on agriculture in an effort to increase agricultural productivity. This paper examines to what degree the goal of the Maputo declaration has been reached. Little to no evidence was found for a direct positive impact on agricultura
