Newspapers and media have always played a critical role in society and have come to shape the way we reflect and perceive news and societal issues. Journalists are conveyer of a message and act as a moderator to shape and set the agenda for the public opinion and the public discourse. This research paper examines the media portrayal of refugees from Ukraine and Syria through pictures. These confli
The aim of this study has been to identify and explore sexual values in 4 different guideline documents for social workers. The guidelines originate in different contexts and are applied in work with different groups of clients. Guidelines aimed at different organizations in social work were chosen in order to show a broader view of values in relation to sexuality in social work. The study of the
Despite the widespread adoption and advanced capabilities of existing learning management systems (LMS), critical usability and functionality issues persist, hindering user experience and educational outcomes. Our research addresses these challenges by developing a comprehensive set of design principles designed to enhance LMS by following the design science research methodology. Through extensive
This study investigates the complex mechanisms that drive and facilitate a Sustainable Entrepreneurial Mindset. While existing literature highlights the importance of Sustainable Entrepreneurship in promoting sustainable change, it lacks a detailed understanding of the specific mechanisms behind this mindset. To address this gap, the study conducts semi-structured interviews with ten sustainable e
The market for self-help books has rapidly expanded and gained influence over the last couple of years, partially due to social media users increasing the genres status on the book market. This essay will look at three different bestselling books within the genre: Atomic Habits, The Body Keeps the Score, and The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck. It will analyse them using case studies and different
It is important to look more deeply into how forest owners choose to manage their forests. If Continuous Cover Forestry (CCF) can be a suitable way for some forest owners to work with nature conservation management, and if it could work as a tool in their forest production today. This is because silvicultural methods can have a significant impact on the climate and the country's economy. In th
This study investigates how different acoustic environments and spelling manipulations affect the reading process by applying eye tracking methodology. Participants are asked to read sentences while either listening to babble noise or not being exposed to any acoustic stimuli. It was generally possible to understand semantic chunks of the babble noise but not the discourse. The reading material wa
Type 2 diabetes is triggered by reduced insulin production, caused by genetic and environmental factors such as inflammation originating from the innate immune system. Complement proteins are a component of innate immunity and kill non-self cells by perforating the plasma membrane, a reaction prevented by CD59. Human pancreatic islets express CD59 at very high levels. CD59 is primarily known as a
Recent genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified a locus on chromosome 1p13 strongly associated with both plasma low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and myocardial infarction (MI) in humans. Here we show through a series of studies in human cohorts and human-derived hepatocytes that a common noncoding polymorphism at the 1p13 locus, rs12740374, creates a C/EBP (CCAAT/enhancer
The Boston Psychiatric Rehabilitation Approach (BPR) is person-centered and characterized by being based entirely on the individual's unique needs and preferences in the areas of working, learning, social contacts, and living environment. Nevertheless, the person-centered approach is lacking firm evidence regarding outcomes, and empirical studies regarding clients' experiences of this particular m
Genome-wide association studies have revealed numerous risk loci associated with diverse diseases. However, identification of disease-causing variants within association loci remains a major challenge. Divergence in gene expression due to cis-regulatory variants in noncoding regions is central to disease susceptibility. We show that integrative computational analysis of phylogenetic conservation w
Rare-variant association studies in common, complex diseases are customarily conducted under an additive risk model in both single-variant and burden testing. Here, we describe a method to improve detection of rare recessive variants in complex diseases termed RAFT (recessive-allele-frequency-based test). We found that RAFT outperforms existing approaches when the variant influences disease risk i
