The paper explores how Indigenous, Black, and Campesinas women in the Colombian Caribbeantransform everyday practices of care into socio-environmental leadership and territorial defence.Based on oral histories collected through collaborative research on water governance and climatechange, we examine how emotions and ecological knowledge converge in defending land, water, andcollective well-being.
Background & Gap Innovation-oriented startups drive economic renewal by exploiting opportunities in uncertain, resource-constrained environments. However, while previous research focuses on objective performance metrics in established firms, little is known about how Swedish startups construct and negotiate marketing success in practice. Aim of the Study This study explores how Swedish-based
This study examines how authenticity is constructed, interpreted, and negotiated through strategic communication in informal market contexts, with a focus on the Onitsha Main Market in Nigeria. While existing research often treats authenticity as a property of products or a matter of consumer perception, less attention has been paid to how it is produced through everyday market interactions. Adopt
This thesis examines how cultural distance and institutional distance are associated with the ownership stakes acquired by US firms in cross-border acquisitions. Drawing on international business theory, two hypotheses were developed, proposing that greater cultural distance and institutional distance lead to lower post-acquisition ownership stakes. Applying a quantitative deductive research desig
This thesis investigates how players of Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2 morally make sense of in-game crime. The study is motivated by the fact that video games are important cultural spaces where players not only watch crime and violence but also participate in them through play. While previous research on violent video games has often focused on aggression and media effects, this th
Ätstört beteende (DE) och icke-suicidalt självskadebeteende (NSSI) förekommer ofta samtidigt under ungdomsåren och delar flera riskfaktorer, men deras longitudinella utveckling är fortfarande bristfälligt kartlagd. Denna studie undersöker prevalens, stabilitet och psykologiska prediktorer för upprepat NSSI och risk för DE från ungdomsåren till ung vuxenålder. Ett urval (N = 471) besvarade självskaDisordered eating (DE) and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) frequently co-occur during adolescence and share multiple risk factors, yet their longitudinal development remains poorly understood. This study examined the prevalence, stability, and psychological predictors of repetitive NSSI and risk of DE from adolescence to young adulthood. A community sample (N = 471) completed self-report asse
In this interview, Professor Ian Manners of the University of Lund revisits the concept he helped define - Normative Power approach - to examine what it really means to think of the EU as a living, evolving political project rather than a fixed set of institutions. He explores which values the EU genuinely embodies on the world stage, beyond its own rhetoric, and how far these values hold up under
Light metal borohydrides are considered as promising materials for solid state hydrogen storage. Because of the high hydrogen content of 11.5 wt % and the rather low dehydrogenation enthalpy of 32 kJ mol(-1)H(2), Ca(BH4)(2) is considered to be one of the most interesting compounds in this class of materials. In the present work, the effect of selected TM-fluoride (TM = transition metal) additives
Salt-free ion-paired catanionic amphiphiles of the C-m(+) C-n(-) type, with a high solubility mismatch (n >> m or m >> n) display a remarkable phase behavior in water. A temperature-driven vesicle-to-micelle transition in the dilute side together with a coexistence of two lamellar phases oil the concentrated side is one of the peculiar effects that have been reported for the hexadecyltrimethylammo
Global maritime security has been a subject of analysis and debate in the West since the onset of the European expansion. This article distinguishes four main periods with regard to the doctrines and practices of global maritime security since c. 1450, during which the role of the state in relation to private actors has shifted. As a concept of global policy making, however, maritime security only
To investigate which factors and criteria are used in priority setting of pharmaceuticals, in what contexts health economic evaluations are used, and barriers to the use of health economic evaluations at micro, meso, and macro health-care levels.
Angiotensin II has been suggested to influence central dopamine and serotonin turnover. Since the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) plays a key role in angiotensin regulation by converting inactive angiotensin 1 to active angiotensin II, we hypothesised that the functional insertion/deletion (I/D) polymorphism in the ACE gene, which has previously been suggested to be associated with, depression
Abstract Objective. Most previous studies have failed to demonstrate any effect of maternal use of 5-aminosalicylates (5-ASA) on malformation risk, but the number of infants studied have, in most cases, been low. The objective of the study was to get data from a large study with prospectively ascertained exposure information. Material and methods. The study was based on data in the Swedish Medical
Specificity and versatility in cyclic AMP (cAMP) signalling are governed by the spatial localisation and temporal dynamics of the signal. Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are important for shaping cAMP signals by hydrolyzing the nucleotide. In pancreatic beta-cells, glucose triggers sub-plasma-membrane cAMP oscillations, which are important for insulin secretion, but the mechanisms underlying the oscilla
Previous studies have revealed inequalities in stroke treatment based on demographics, hospital type, and region. We used the Swedish Stroke Register (Riksstroke) to test whether patient education level is associated with reperfusion (either or both of thrombolysis and thrombectomy) treatment.
Microglia manage immunosurveillance and mediate inflammation, both suggested to be important in Alzheimer's disease (AD). The aim of this study was to investigate if microglial markers could differentiate, firstly between AD and controls, and secondly between stable mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and those progressing to AD and vascular dementia (VaD). Furthermore, we investigated if these marker
The arterial input function is crucial in pharmacokinetic analysis of dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI data. Among other artifacts in arterial input function quantification, the blood inflow effect and nonideal radiofrequency spoiling can induce large measurement errors with subsequent reduction of accuracy in the pharmacokinetic parameters. These errors were investigated for a 3D spoiled gradient-ec
The purpose of this study was to contribute to the knowledge of how manufacturer brands choose and can choose to defend themselves vis-à-vis introduction of private brands by retailers. The study adopts the same research approach as a Dutch empirical study (Verhoef, P. C., E. J. Nijssen, and L. M. Sloot. 2002. “Strategic Reactions of National Brand Manufacturers Towards Private Labels – An Empiric
Scand J Caring Sci; 2012; Experiences of the individual placement and support approach in persons with severe mental illness Background: Across several research studies comparing the individual placement and support (IPS) approach to traditional vocational services, the approach has achieved employment outcomes superior to comparison conditions. However, to understand the efficacy of IPS, it is eq
