Society is highly dependent on services such as electricity, communication, and transportation. Furthermore, the critical infrastructures (CIs) that provide these services are highly interdependent through a number of physical, economic and organizational links. In this context, a holistic perspective on risk is essential to avoid suboptimal interventions and risk-related blind spots. Here, fragme
Preventive home visits (PHVs) are offered to older persons with the purpose of promoting health and preventing risks on an individual level. However, aspects of health need to be considered on a societal level as well. This study aims to get a deeper understanding of perceptions of the usability of the information compiled during the PHVs to promote health, among older persons, on a societal level
Popular Abstract in English Cells are the basic unit of life that exhibit dependence on water and ambient temperature to flourish and survive. So it is remarkable that the proteins responsible for the interaction of water and heat with the cell were not discovered until relatively recently. It was assumed for decades that water freely diffuse into and out of the cells without support. The cells arMembrane proteins play several important roles in a cell. Among these proteins are aquaporins (AQPs) and transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels that mediate water transport, temperature and noxious chemical sensation, respectively. The function of some AQPs, for example the spinach isoform SoPIP2;1 is regulated by pH, phosphorylation and heavy metals such as mercury. However, the mechanis
We need energy intake to provide energy and nutrients to our cells. The amount of daily energy intake should aim for energy balance, which results in good health. Under-or overconsumption of total daily energy over a longer period leads to increased risk of diseases. In this scoping review, the components of daily energy requirement are defined. Several methods to estimate energy requirements and
The purpose of the study is to investigate how much interest media has shown selected topics in the corporate governance systems in Germany and Sweden. The four selected aspects are: ownership structure, employee representation on the boards, disclosure of board members’ compensation and female directors on the boards. The reasons for and consequences of the similarities and differences will also
Recognizing that information has long been an important asset for any organization, I explore in depth the management and use of information in contemporary information-intensive organizations such as academic libraries. Information processes, when integrated in the academic library’s daily working life can lead to workplace learning, with long term benefits. However, the literature demonstrates t
The interplay between innovation and measurement has fascinated scholars from several disciplines over the last decade. All these diverse contributions, however, have resulted in a current state of knowledge that is signified by large numbers of articles without clear integration and synthesis. Therefore the aim of this explorative study is to examine the theoretical notions of innovation and meas
Factors that affect and influence industrial symbiosis (IS) collaborations have been re-searched extensively in the literature, where they are mostly reported at a network level or for IS in general, and lack the individual actor’s perspective. This review article contributes to and expands knowledge of influencing factors and their effect on the individual actor. In a systematic review, guided by
This paper presents a comprehensive cross-functional analysis of machining operations for ductile cast iron components in the automotive industry, focusing on the problem of chip carryover and its impact on downstream processes. The research aims to understand the role of machining and identify the source of the issue, by analyzing different machining sequences and the chips that affect the final
Purpose: The purpose of our work is to gain a deeper understanding of the phenomenon of “quiet quitting”. We aim to challenge its various manifestations and question the existing diversity in definitions by examining different work behaviours of quiet quitting. In addition, we examine the reasons, while paying particular attention to the supervisor-subordinate relationship. Methodology: This study
This study investigates the manufacturing and application of enteric polymeric microneedles loaded with active pharmaceutical ingredients and combined with photoresponsive dyes used for micromotor motion. The aim is to present an alternative method for orally delivering macromolecules. Although needle fear among patients has led to investigations into alternative routes of administration for macro

This thesis investigates the communication strategies employed by the Social Democratic Party regarding their significant shift in stance on Nato membership over a seven-month period, influenced by Russia's invasion of Ukraine on February 24th, 2022. The two research questions examined are how this radical shift has been discursively justified and framed, as well as how the tone and content ha
