Background: Globalization has contributed to that most companies today are competing on an international market, which has increased the emphasis on international human resource management. Due to the shortage of empirical studies on international human resource management practices the multinational "Best International Human Resource Management Practices Project" was conducted and parti

Since the formation of the European Union (EU), European integration and the policies adopted to achieve this objective are a growing topic of interest and concern for different fields of scholarship. The single market driven EU project involves a proliferating and complicated bureaucracy which in itself, generates more bureaucracy. Coping with this development has seen the EU establish decentrali

Denna studie undersöker hur semiotiska tecken och i synnerhet paralingvistisk bidrar till att forma narrativ och kommunicera kulturella aspekter i videoreklam inom två distinkta marknadsföringslandskap. Genom en kvalitativ innehållsanalys av totalt sex reklamfilmer från det svenska varumärket ICA och det taiwanesiska PX Mart, har studien undersökt hur icke-verbala tecken kategoriserade under visue

Air pollution is increasingly discussed as a risk factor for dementia, but the biological mechanisms are not yet fully understood. Biological markers like telomere length are relevant to study with air pollution, as they are associated with aging and dementia. The study aimed to investigate the relationship between source-specific air pollution exposure and telomere length in a low-level air pollu

Because of increasing pressures on marine life and habitats, the overall health of the global ocean has over the latter years received attention internationally. It is therefore of relevance to analyse how the type of human-nature relationship towards the ocean is presented through what can be coined as Blue Growth. The aim of this research is to critically discuss what human-nature relationships

Vegetation on land is globally taking up about 30% of the CO2 that is emitted by human activities (oceans take up 30%, while 40% remains in the atmosphere). This ability to store carbon in the vegetation and in the soil is very important to mitigate the climate changes, but all land based ecosystems are not carbon sinks. Ecosystems that are losing carbon needs to be further investigated, so we can

Background: Childhood cancer predisposition (ChiCaP) syndromes are increasingly recognized as contributing factors to childhood cancer development. Yet, due to variable availability of germline testing, many children with ChiCaP might go undetected today. We report results from the nationwide and prospective ChiCaP study that investigated diagnostic yield and clinical impact of integrating germlin
