As the drive to find sustainable and technological solutions to ongoing global problems becomes increasingly urgent, implementing timely innovation is needed now more than ever. The concept of regional innovation systems has recently gained popularity as a recipe for innovation and increasing knowledge transfer on a smaller scale. Specifically, the role of education in regional innovation systems

Since April 2023, Sudan has been engulfed in a brutal civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The conflict has triggered the collapse of state institutions and forced the displacement of millions. Amid this humanitarian crisis, conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) has emerged as a defining and deeply troubling feature. This thesis explores how CRSV

This study aims to examine how professionals within civil society and the legal sector engage in preventive work against human trafficking in Thailand, and how various risk factors and power structures are understood and constructed in their narratives. This thesis presents a discourse analysis of human trafficking in Thailand, with a particular focus on gender, economic vulnerability, tourism, an

Alongside global acknowledgements of the gendered nature of conflict, the academic field of transitional justice is shifting towards the newly emerging concept of transformative justice. Within this, reparations are particularly seen as the most agent-centric tool for structural transformation. In northeastern Nigeria, the conflict between Boko Haram and the state has seen a prevalence of conflict

Global warming has become a scientific consensus. Climate change induced impacts on both natural and human systems have been observed. Climate financing for mitigation and adaptation has increased over the years, but it is still far from what is needed according to the 1.5 ̊C scenario by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The concept of green bond was developed as an innovative way to

The number of people living in urban areas has increased significantly over the past few decades. As such, cities have become centers for population and economic growth. These two factors, however, are also the most significant drivers of fossil fuel related CO2 emissions. Additionally, urban services contribute to dominant socio-technical systems that are inherently unsustainable, path dependent,

The issue of pharmaceutical pollution has recently gained attention on the international political agenda as several actors have raised concern for its negative impact on ecosystems, human health, and livelihoods in emerging economies where an increasing share of the pharmaceutical production is located due to the cheaper labor and less stringent environmental regulations. In 2019, the OECD publis

This thesis is a case study of international marriages in Sweden. It concentrates on Asian women and Western men. The purpose of the research was not to generalize but to present individual cases and to detect what ideas, life experiences and circumstances influence the choices of life partners in international marriages. It also examines gender relations, influence of stereotypes, attitude of the

Depletion of the indigenous energy resources of the EU, growing dependence on the external energy supplies, volatile prices of the global energy resources, increasing global rivalry for hydrocarbon reserves and recent Russian-Ukrainian disputes over natural gas prices which as a consequence has resulted in gas supply disruptions to several EU member states escalated the significance of the Europea

The positive δ13C excursion associated with the Late Silurian Lau Event (approximately 420 Ma) is recognized globally and considered to be one of the most prominent carbon isotope excursions of the Phanerozoic. Its maximum values are exceeded only by values from the Proterozoic. Over the last years the Lau Event has been studied in great detail on the island of Gotland, Sweden (Baltica palaeoconti

”The brutal competition that the globalization and the ICT-development have caused increases the demands on the multinational corporation’s management control. Global corporations must find congruence between strategies in order to maintain their competitiveness. MedSweden is a Swedish ENT (Ear, Nose and Throat) company with an international network which serves about 60 countries. In mid-2010 the

Aim: In this study, we aimed to investigate whether changes in cerebrovascular voltage-dependent calcium channels and non-selective cation channels contribute to the enhanced endothelin-1-mediated vasoconstriction in the delayed hypoperfusion phase after experimental transient forebrain ischaemia. Methods: Experimental forebrain ischaemia was induced in Wistar male rats by a two-vessel occlusion m

The evaluation of satellite precipitation products (SPPs) at regional and local scales is essential in improving satellite-based algorithms and sensors, as well as in providing valuable guidance when choosing alternative precipitation data for the local community. The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) has made significant contributions to the development of various SPPs since its launch i

Nielsen RE, Levander S, Thode D, Nielsen J. Effects of sertindole on cognition in clozapine-treated schizophrenia patients. Objective: To assess the cognitive effects of sertindole augmentation in clozapine-treated patients diagnosed with schizophrenia. Cognition is secondary outcome of the trial. Method: A 12-week, double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled, augmentation study of patients tre

The thesis aims at deconstructing the sustainable tourism paradigm: can tourism be "a global strategy for sustainable development", as the tourist industry claims? And will developing countries in particular profit from tourism development?To most international organizations and institutions (from the World Wide Fund for Nature to The World Bank), tourism, if carefully managed, is a positive, sust

Våra relationer till platser präglas ofta av ett känslomässigt engagemang som kan ta sig uttryck i såväl trygg hemkänsla som destruktiv främlingsfientlighet. Samtidigt tar vi platser för givna. Det hör knappast till vardagen att vi problematiserar de kopplingar som ständigt skapas mellan platser, vår egen identitet och vårt förhållningssätt till omvärlden. I en tid då platser konkurrerar med varan

Observations and modeling studies indicate that enhanced vegetation activities over highlatitudes under an elevated CO2 concentration accelerate surface warming by reducing thesurface albedo. In this study, we suggest that vegetation-atmosphere-sea ice interactions overhigh latitudes can induce an additional amplification of Arctic warming. Our hypothesis is testedby a series of coupled vegetation
