Transformative advertising research (TAR) suggests examining advertising’s transformational possibilities via the interactions between institutional actors at each marketing level to gauge its effect on society. We employ rhetorical institutionalism as a lens to examine the online speech acts of consumers as they respond to a brand activism campaign focusing on an environmental problem. Our data t
How does emigration affect sending states’ welfare policies? Existing migration literature has identified numerous political, economic, and institutional variables that influence sending states’ approaches towards emigrants’ welfare. However, this literature has neglected broader processes of social transformation in sending states. Using the concept of welfare regime transnationalization, we show
This chapter explores the ways and channels through which Turkey-based political parties respond to non-resident citizens through external voting. It firstly provides a brief history of the legislation regulating external voting rights in Turkey. It then examines the representation of non-resident votes in the Turkish electoral system and in the Turkish Parliament. The chapter discusses Turkey-bas
The emerging debate on transnational populism has thus far mainly focused on cases, which have remained relatively inconsequential due to the weak institutionalisation of the political transnationalism arena. By bringing in a better-structured arena of migrant transnationalism, this paper introduces populist political parties mobilising transnational migrants to the debate and explores the resulti
This textbook covers the mathematics needed to model, analyze, and design feedback systems. Now more user-friendly than ever, this revised and expanded edition of Feedback Systems is a one-volume resource for students and researchers in mathematics and engineering. It has applications across a range of disciplines that utilize feedback in physical, biological, information, and economic systems. Ka
Only among humans is teaching intentional, socially structured, and symbolically mediated. In this chapter, evidence regarding the evolution of the mindreading and communicative capacities underlying intentional teaching is reviewed. Play, rehearsal, and apprenticeship are discussed as central to the analyses of teaching. We present a series of levels of teaching. First of all, we separate non-int
In this paper, I give a short description of a language change that can be viewed as an instance of grammaticalization, namely the transition of the two adjectives mycken/t and liten/t into quantifiers. Data from the corpus of Swedish drama dialogue reveal that liten/t became a quantifier as early as the 1700s, whereas mycken/t seems to have gone through the same change roughly 150 years later. In
Over the last decades, scholars have increasingly called for the ‘deterritorialization’ of the notion of citizenship. The realities concerning citizenship have changed with new expressions of transnationalism. However, whereas the main body of research has focused on the transnational aspects of citizenship among migrants in the form of their transnational political practices and dual nationalitie
In this article, we analyze the nexus between political regimes and external voting rights. Using a global longitudinal dataset, we report that higher levels of inclusion and contestation bring higher probabilities that a state adopts and implements emigrant enfranchisement. Taking outliers from our quantitative assessment, we then further examine two liberal democracies, Ireland and Uruguay, and
This article covers a unique form of political mobilisation within the Turkey-originated diasporic community in Europe that formed after Turkey introduced external voting in 2012. Although existing literature has paid attention to the impact of homeland political parties on external voting rights and diaspora organisations’ role in electoral campaigns, these organisations’ impact on members’ mobil
The purpose of this short paper is to present a minimalist account of the syntax of the Swedish Wh-Root-infinitives, trying to characterize the syntax of this generally neglected main clause equivalent while comparing its syntax to the syntax of finite root clauses. See (i) and (ii): (i) Swedish Varför sälj-a huset? why sell-inf house.the 'Why sell the house?' (ii) Swedish Varför sälj-er ni huset?
Background The interest in elite athletes’ mental health has increased over the past decade. However, there is still a paucity in the literature concerning elite Para athletes’ mental health and its association with injuries and illnesses affecting athletes’ participation in sports.Objective To assess the weekly prevalence of mental distress and its association with injury, illness, sleep duration
Hard coatings can be applied to a traditional cast iron brake disc to increase wear resistance and thus reduce brake disc particle emission. An alumina coating prepared through a modified plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) process also shows a promise in wear reduction for automotive brake disc. The aim of the work was further to study effect of the alumina coating surface conditions on tribologi
Wildlife disease surveillance is an important tool for combating disease emergence and spread that may have negative ecological, social, and economic impacts, including prevention of new pandemics. This study aims to understand what motivates people in Sweden to voluntary perform the behaviour of reporting and submitting a wildlife carcass for wildlife disease surveillance. Six qualitative focus g
Testing printed circuit boards (PCBs) is an important part of the production process. The development and generation of tests is however a labour-intensive process that requires expertise and deep understanding of the PCB. As generative Artificial Intelligence in form of Large Language Models (LLMs) as evolved, we explore its use for PCBs test generation. The main question is: for a given design s
