The last 20 years or so have seen a far-reaching reconfiguration of the characters that dominate the world of organizations. For much of its life, the study of organizations was dominated by two central characters, the manager and the worker, whose relationship with all its tensions, conflicts and accommodations unfolded with within a broader environment of markets, governments, shareholders, soci

This article is a reflection on the changing landscape of academic history in recent decades and it captures shifts in this landscape. The points made are several. Firstly, postmodernism - or rather the linguistic and cultural turn - does not represent a break with the traditional paradigm of history, although it has challenged and annoyed several historians. Neither is it a temporary fashion. Ins

Increased economic and financial integration and substantial macroeconomic fluctuations require that corporate managers and investment analysts pay more attention than in the past to the link between the "noise" that these fluctuations represent and the company's performance-past and future. For many reasons, company managers must weed out the effects of the noise to obtain a clear picture of the

The European project has come a long way in establishing peace, creating a common market, and expanding its borders. At the same time, diminishing popular legitimacy has spurred talk about a European Union in crisis. How far has the EU really come in fulfilling its grand visions? Is the project barely half-way? Or could we say with some confidence that European integration is solidified and will c

Description: It is stated that even though plentiful of studies over the last decades have been concerned with internationalization in/of higher education, it has not been from the perspectives from the teachers and students and their experiences of aspects of internationalization in relation to their educational context (that is, as a student, and as a teacher). To emphasize the quality dimension

The time development of neck formation in ductile elastic-plastic bars is analyzed numerically in order to obtain a qualitative description of the features of dynamic neck localization under impact conditions. The full time history is visualized using contour plots of the time development of a strain rate parameter. Both axisymmetric and planar bars are studied. Several types of neck development a

People with a refugee background are at significantly increased risk of mental health difficulties, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). There is a large evidence base showing that trauma-focused psychological treatments for PTSD are effective. However, the majority of trials do not include refugees and less is known about how refugees respond to treatment. The present report explores

Context. The star HD 139139 (a.k.a. ‘the Random Transiter’) is a star that exhibited enigmatic transit-like features with no apparent periodicity in K2 data. The shallow depth of the events (-200 ppm - equivalent to transiting objects with radii of -1.5 R⊕ in front of a Sun-like star) and their non-periodicity constitute a challenge for the photometric follow-up of this star. Aims. The goal of thi

This chapter explores the relationship between long-term exposure to neighborhood income inequality and adult mortality in Landskrona during a period of declining economic disparities. Using geocoded data from 1939 to 1967, the authors examine three interconnected hypotheses concerning income inequality and longevity. The analysis considers spatial changes in neighborhood inequality over time and

Under senare år har en ökning av allvarlig brottslighet bland lagöverträdare under 15 år i Sverige konstaterats. Efter riksdagsvalet 2022 presenterade den nytillträdda regeringen, med stöd av Sverigedemokraterna, att bekämpning av ung-domskriminalitet skulle utgöra en av mandatperiodens mest prioriterade frå-gor. I september 2025 remitterade Justitiedepartementet ett utkast till lagråds-remiss om In recent years, Sweden has seen an increase in serious criminal activity among juveniles under 15 years of age. After the 2022 election, the newly elected government, with the support of the Sweden Democrats, identified the fight against juvenile crime as a top priority. In September 2025, the Swedish Department of Justice submitted a draft proposal referral to the Council on Legislation, proposi

Denna studie undersöker hur svenska investmentbolag kommunicerar värderingen av sina onoterade portföljbolag i årsredovisningen. Eftersom onoterade innehav saknar observerbara marknadspriser präglas värderingen av betydande osäkerhet och subjektiva bedömningar, vilket ställer höga krav på transparens och legitimitet i den externa redovisningskommunikationen. Studien genomförs som en kvalitativ innThis study examines how Swedish investment companies communicate the valuation of their unlisted portfolio companies in annual reports. As unlisted holdings lack observable market prices, valuation involves significant uncertainty and subjective judgment, placing high demands on transparency in external financial reporting. The study applies a qualitative content analysis of annual reports for the

In desert locusts Schistocerca gregaria, aggregation behaviour is elicited by aggregation pheromones. In this study, we show that the behavioural response to the major and most potent adult aggregation pheromone component, phenylacetonitrile, is age- and juvenile-hormone-dependent. Furthermore, we show that juvenile hormone influences the responsiveness of olfactory interneurons in the antennal lo

In this paper, trade policy formation is incorporated into an economic geography model. The political setup used is a modified version of that introduced by Grossman and Helpman (1994) in which policy makers may be in‡uenced by lobbying contributions. On the basis of the underlying trade framework, lobbying activity is performed in benefit of capital interests. Optimal policy outcomes indicate tha

The use of 18S rDNA sequences for inferring phylogenies, in particular for higher taxonomic level analysis, has a long tradition in phycology. Similar to ITS2, the 18S rDNA displays a conserved secondary structure that could be used simultaneously with the primary sequence to increase the amount of information used when inferring phylogenetic relationships. Sequence-structure phylogenetics is alre

Why do Scandinavians convert to the Catholic Church? In this article, I try to give an answer to this question. Up to the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s, the Catholic Church strongly emphasised its claim to be the only true Church. As a consequence, non-Catholic countries such as the Nordic were subjected to Catholic missionary activity. In this period, a Catholic conversion was not only an e

Energy security is sometimes used to advocate renewable energy systems. Renewable energy systems can improve some aspects of security, but they will not automatically lead to the removal of all types of security problems and new problems will most certainly arise. This paper analyses energy security aspects of renewable energy systems on the basis of a broad typology on energy and security. Renewa

For numerous spin crossover complexes, the anisotropic distortion of the first coordination shell around the transition metal center governs the dynamics of the high-spin/low-spin interconversion. However, this structural parameter remains elusive for samples that cannot be investigated with crystallography. The present work demonstrates how picosecond X-ray absorption spectroscopy is able to capt

Gel swelling experiments have been used to study the binding of ionic surfactants to a series of nonionic alkylacrylamide hydrogels of increasing hydrophobicity. The binding of hexadecyl trimethylammonium (C-16-TA(+)) to uncharged gels is sensitive to both the hydrophobicity of the gel and the counterion to the surfactant. There is a minimum hydrophobicity threshold below which binding of the surf
