Innovation in resource-constrained environments is often limited not only by scarce financial and technological resources but also by weak institutional support and misalignment between the capabilities of knowledge-producing organizations and the conditions under which local actors can adopt, adapt, and sustain innovation. Although Design Thinking has been widely studied as a human-centred innova

This study investigates the role of structural similarity in third language acquisition by using two different semi-artificial languages (ALs, called Aliensk A and Aliensk N) as the targets and either Polish–Norwegian or Norwegian as the previously acquired languages (all speakers also know English). It is an extension of Mitrofanova et al., who did a similar study with one semi-artificial languag

In recent years, there has been considerable research into the factors contributing to cross-linguistic influence in the acquisition of a third language. Much of the focus has been on linguistic cues, with less emphasis (and conflicting results) on experiential factors, such as the role of dominance. Additionally, there is very little literature on the role of the language used for instruction in

This study describes the patterns of dialect use among L3 Norwegian speakers born in Poland who have migrated to Norway. We collected the data in the form of sociolinguistic interviews recorded in Tromsø and Oslo, two different dialect regions, in order to examine potential differences in acquisition of two dissimilar dialects in Norwegian by L3 speakers. The analyses focus on dialectal and accent

Introduction: Research on Mismatch Negativity (MMN) in monolingual and bilingual speakers has shown significant differences in L1 versus L2 phonemic perception. In this study, we examined whether the MMN response is sensitive to the differences between L1, L2 and L3/Ln.Methods: We compared bioelectrical brain activity in response to changes in pairs of vowels produced in three different languages.

Research on migration in later life has predominantly focussed on retirement, amenities, and family-related relocation, while determinants of work-related migration has received comparatively little attention. Yet, rising labor force participation among older individuals makes understanding their work-related mobility increasingly important. Using longitudinal Swedish register data covering 1993–2

This paper examines how occupational restructuring within local labour markets shapes the employment opportunities of older workers. Using longitudinal Swedish register data covering workers across 69 functional local labour markets between 2017 and 2023, we show that greater occupational restructuring is associated with greater occupational narrowing among older workers.

Om brotten är en lärobok i den svenska straffrättens speciella del. Ett stort antal brottstyper både i och utanför brottsbalken presenteras tematiskt och analyseras i ljuset av aktuell forskning. Genomgående behandlas skyddsintressen, bestämmelsernas uppbyggnad utifrån begrepp och rekvisit samt de tolkningsproblem som kan uppstå när abstrakta regler ska tillämpas på konkreta gärningar.

Executive compensation is increasingly being linked to ESG outcomes. This paper examines whether ESG targets are consistent with shareholder welfare. Using granular information on compensation contracts of Swedish CEOs, we show that ESG and financial targets are competing. ESG-linked compensation is 5 percentage points more common in well-governed firms and 6.3 percentage points more likely for CE

OBJECTIVE: Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is a semi-quantitative method, i.e., only differences in magnetic susceptibility can be quantified. The lack of a stable internal reference hampers longitudinal and systematic comparisons among subjects. In this study, a phase-based approach, enabling the use of an external reference, is proposed.MATERIALS AND METHODS: By modeling the object geo

Dynamic glucose-enhanced (DGE) MRI is an emerging imaging technique that provides information on sugar uptake with contributions from delivery (perfusion), transport (membrane permeability), and metabolism in vivo. DGE MRI contrast reflects changes in water magnetization caused by changes in sugar concentration, which can be detected through chemical exchange between water protons and sugar hydrox

PURPOSE: Direct Saturation Dynamic Glucose Enhanced (DS-DGE) MRI is a novel technique that utilizes low B 1 strength and short saturation pulse duration to measure the effect of enhanced T 2 relaxation caused by the infusion of D-glucose, resulting in linewidth broadening of the direct water saturation (DS) signal in the water saturation spectrum (Z-spectrum). In this simulation-supported protoc
