This thesis examines cluster and innovation system theory’s answer to why some firms, and not others, based in particular nations achieve international success in distinct segments, and the European Union’s recent policy efforts based on such theories. On this background a discussion on the changes needed in national economic policymaking among EU Member States when the EU starts taking a cluster
In the past two decades the European banking industry has undergone an intense process of reshaping, fostered by a junction of reasons. Consolidation of the industry has been increasing at an accelerating pace. However, continental literature in the field is still not thorough or conclusive. While European banking M&As have been up to now judged as creating more value than their US counterpart
In response to stakeholder expectations, and in line with the life cycle idea, a growing number of corporations are working to influence its suppliers for improved environmental and social performance. The number and diversity of the actors and aspects to consider in global supply chains contributes to the complexity of the task. Most actively engaging in supply chain improvements are companies wi
Abstract The barnacle, Stephanolepas muricata, a commensal epibiont of cheloniid sea turtles, occurs frequently on the sea turtles of the Golfo Dulce, Pacific Costa Rica. The aim of this study was to quantify the occurrence of S. muricata on green and hawksbill sea turtles, to describe its major attachment locations and to investigate potential routes for barnacle exposure. In-water sampling of s
Escherichia coli stimulates neutrophil migration across human uroepithelial cell layers. This study investigated the role of the neutrophil chemokine interleukin-8 (IL-8) in this process. E. coli and IL-1alpha stimulated urinary tract epithelial layers to secrete IL-8 and induced transepithelial neutrophil migration. Anti-IL-8 antibody reduced neutrophil migration across epithelial cell layers, in
Collagen VI, a microfibrillar protein found in virtually all connective tissues, is composed of three distinct subunits, alpha 1(VI), alpha 2(VI), and alpha 3(VI), which associate intracellularly to form triple helical heterotrimeric monomers then dimers and tetramers. The secreted tetramers associate end-to-end to form beaded microfibrils. Although the basic steps in assembly and the structure of
The technological evolutions have promoted mobile devices from rudimentary communication facilities to advanced personal assistants. According to the huge amount of accessible data, developing a time-saving and cost-effective method for location-based recommendations in mobile devices has been considered a challenging issue. This paper contributes a state-of-the-art solution for a personalized rec
The lack of accountability for human rights violations arising out of the activities of multinational enterprises has been identified as a key impediment to the fulfillment of universal human rights and the corresponding access to remedy for victims. However, the last couple of years have witnessed an increasing movement to bridge the accountability gap on the national and international level. Th
The study investigated how the political process of the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda differs between South Korea and Sweden. Through the document analysis and the expert interviews, the research explored the formal and informal institutional dynamics that influence the development and implementation of National Action Plans (NAPs) and the WPS agenda. Also, it explored internal and extern
Abstract: The FIFA World Cup, together with the Summer Olympic Games, are the two events classified as sports mega-events (SMEs), characterized by their global outreach and different types of costs. Within the SME realm, a paradoxical trend can be seen; they show stronger sustainability agendas, yet generate higher social, economic, and environmental costs. The overarching question is their legaci
The collective fight for self-determination among indigenous peoples around the world has made headlines over the past few years. The exploitation of indigenous territories by settler-states has revived nationalist feelings among the groups, including the Sami, whose territories spread across four states. This thesis aimed to explore how Sami national identity is constructed, shaped and promoted
Det nuvarande globala systemet är organiserat i territoriella, suveräna stater – ett system som vilar på många antaganden. En viktig aspekt är att påståendet att en del av att vara suverän för med sig förmågan att kontrollera ens gränser och förekomsten av icke-medborgare på ens territorium. Samtidigt visar senare utveckling att förhållningssätt (och försök att reglera) individer som korsar gränseThe current global order is organised into territorial, sovereign states – a system built upon many assumptions. One major aspect is the claim that being sovereign entails the ability to control one’s borders as well as the presence of aliens on one’s territory. At the same time, recent developments have shown that approaches to (and attempts to regulate) individuals crossing borders cannot be und
Managing work and other responsibilities while being efficient and open to work changes has become increasingly difficult for employees. There is even more pressure on social workers, or more specifically, mental health workers given the nature of their job which not only includes working with clients but also making the decision to reject some individuals due to a packed schedule. This study aime
Sexual satisfaction has been found to be closely connected to the overall life satisfaction of individuals, making it a public health issue. Most of the previous research has focused on physiological factors related to sexual satisfaction. However, evidence suggests that psychological factors are at play, and can act as protective factors against the decline in sexual satisfaction. This thesis wil
