Objective To examine the association between fruit and vegetable consumption and risk of different histological subtypes of lung cancer among participants of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition study. Methods Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were used to analyze the data. A calibration study in a subsample was used to reduce dietary measurement errors. Resu
In the Gambia, Osusu has helped women to be resilient to various types of precarity for a long time. Though the country has recently recognized the importance of financial inclusion by adopting a National Financial Inclusion Strategy (NFIS), the informal practice of Osusu continues to exist and evolve. Through 20 semi-structured interviews with women who are members of Kafoos that operate Osusu, t
Modern societies rely on a stable supply of electric power from highly complex energy systems. Balancing demand and supply at electricity markets becomes increasingly challenging with the rising share of highly volatile renewable energy sources (RES) and the influence of climate change. Within this uncertain environment, actors face major challenges for planning and decision making. Thus, this the
Large capital inflows have always been a cause of concern for policy makers. While most countries experience episodes of large capital inflows, Advanced Economies tend to fare slightly better, while Emerging Economies experience more adverse effects. This study identifies 228 such episodes of large capital inflows in 1980-2019, in 38 countries. Further, an attempt is made to analyse the aftermath
This study analyzes the European Union’s (henceforth EU) terrorism agenda. The overarching aim of the research is to gain in-depth knowledge and understanding of how the EU represents the problem of terrorism and what solutions they present to counter it. Hence, Lasse Lindekilde’s (2012) model, which he used to study the Danish government’s counter- radicalization Action Plan, is adopted, and used
Due to COVID-19, many organisations have switched to a predominantly remote working environment. Whereas formal meetings have quickly been integrated, informal commu-nication appears to be more difficult online. Despite the importance of informal commu-nication and several positive outcomes of informal communication on employees, this aspect has largely been neglected in organisational communicati
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the concepts of brand integrity, brand reputation, brand crisis management and communication strategies used by brands to combat the cancel culture setting. This exploratory study may also aid marketing practitioners in developing appropriate crisis management strategies in response to such a crisis. Research Question: what is the relationship b
The Visegrad Group (V4) has often portrayed itself as the protectors and saviors of European civilization. This thesis investigates how that collective self‐image evolved across two major crises: the migration crisis (2015-2019), and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine (2022–2025). Using critical discourse analysis of prime‐ministerial speeches and press releases, and drawing on securitization theory, so
This thesis compares how China and the European Union (EU) regulate the abuse of market dominance in the platform economy. As digital platforms increasingly shape economic activity, both jurisdictions face challenges in curbing anti-competitive practices by dominant firms. The central research question asks what the similarities and differences in their regulatory approaches reveal about their bro
This special issue aims to deepen the understanding of the Europeanisation of universities from 1980 to the mid-1990s. By focussing on five universities situated in different European contexts, we aim to provide insight into how Europeanisation has taken place and changed higher education. The geographical diversity and the main differences between universities provide the opportunity to show both
Foraminifera are single-celled eukaryotes; most possess a perforated calcite test (shell) that fossilizes in marine sediments. During calcification, morphological features reflect environmental conditions, particularly, foraminiferal porosity is a promising proxy for reconstructing past ocean oxygenation.However, traditional analysis relies on averages from small parts of the shell in 2D slices du
This study investigates the relation between preferences and cognitive effort in decision making tasks in a natural setting. Does the way a supermarket’s shelves are organized affect how easy it is to choose what items to purchase? Does it affect the quality of our choice? The eye-movements of participants were recorded during their regular shopping trips in two supermarkets with different shelf
