A major strand in social work’s history has been its paternalistic character, partly due to a philanthropic tradition, but also to the tendency to import an individualist expert model into social work practice. As a result, gaps have arisen between expert and experiential knowledge. In this article, so called ‘gap mending strategies’ developed by the international network PowerUs are discussed. Po

In the wake of the war and occupation of Iraq, 2003–2004, international legal scholars struggled to understand and adequately describe the event and the law surrounding it.

In some cases, entire countries were virtually locked down for several weeks at a time, contributing to a very severe downturn in economic activity.

This paper studies the nexus between income and wealth inequality, and the ecological footprint in the United States and France from 1962 to 2021. Based on theoretical considerations, we allow the relationship to vary over time. We find some support for income inequality affecting the ecological footprint in the United States and that the relationship has changed over time. We find no such result

With the evolution of cartography from hand-drawn to digital maps, the task of icon placement has become increasingly complex. Nowadays there is a need to automate this process to produce high quality results in less time. This study aimed to optimize icon placement on city wayfinding maps, addressing challenges of placing icons in high-density areas and maintaining a strong association between ic
The empirical prediction of outcomes in competitive sports, particularly basketball, remains a complex challenge due to inherent game variability and the difficulty in discerning replicable strategic adaptations from random fluctuations, especially in the case of unexpected results ("upsets"). This thesis addresses this by introducing and evaluating novel features designed to enhance the

In change management, approaches to handle change have been broader discussed, from a ‘top-down’ outdated method to a ‘bottom-up’ inclusive model. Scholars have discussed the advantages of having an inclusive model which is re-lated to the directional flow of change communication. Nevertheless, leaders still struggle with the implementation of this model due to several factors that affect their ch
