In today’s volatile and changing environment employment, innovation, and economic growth are basic characteristics of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to investigate the challenges and enablers of digitalization in SMEs. Expert responses provide numerical weights to 6 barriers and 5 alternatives using Super Decisions v3.2 software. The results sho
In the late Middle Ages, hundreds of Christians from all over Europe sent supplications to the Papal Curia to be freed from promises made under duress. This article analyses the supplications about forced marriages that were submitted to the Apostolic Penitentiary during the pontificate of Pope Innocent VIII (1484–92). The study is based on mainly unedited source material that has not been investi
We know that emotions matter in politics but less is known about the role of individual ways of processing and responding to emotions, that is, affective styles. Here we report on two surveys, exploring the relationship between affective style (i.e., the individual propensity to either tolerate, adjust, or conceal emotions) and social and political trust. We base our study on large-n representativ
Across Europe, the involvement of and collaboration with experienced school-based language teacher educators is pivotal to the success of the structural format of the practicum component in language teacher education. Despite their central importance to the system, the lived experiences of these practitioners remain underexplored. This exploratory study sheds light on the emotional challenges expe
The internationalization of higher education has led to an increaseddemand for English-medium instruction (EMI) in globally diverse classrooms.Faculty at higher education institutions (HEIs) in both English-dominant andEnglish-non-dominant contexts often struggle with this requirement due to insufficient institutional support. While applied linguists have extensively researched language proficienc
In recent years, intercultural competence (IC) has gained prominence in foreign language (FL) education, reflecting broader societal shifts toward global interconnectedness and the need for culturally responsive pedagogy. This article investigates how FL teachers in Denmark conceptualize, teach, and assess IC within the existing framework of national curricula that emphasize global citizenship and
Credibility and intent are important but imprecise legal categories that need to be assessed in criminal trials as neither common nor civil legal systems provide decision-makers with clear rules on how to evaluate them in practice. In this article, drawing on ethnographic data from trials and deliberations in Italian courts and prosecution offices, we discuss the emotive-cognitive dynamics at playCredibility and intent are important but imprecise legal categories that need to be assessed in criminal trialsas neither common nor civil legal systems provide decision-makers with clear rules on how to evaluatethem in practice.

Exploring the rationales behind legal anger, its logic and origins, this book builds on the perspectives of judges and prosecutors in Italy, Sweden, the United States, and Scotland. When do judges and prosecutors become angry in court, what do they become angry about, and which other emotions open up for anger? Anger brings people to court and is essential in evaluating wrongdoing and attributing
The use of artificial intelligence in law represents one of the biggest challengesacross different legal systems. Supporters of predictive systems believe thatdecisionmaking could be more efficient, consistent and predictable by usingAI. European legislation and legal scholars, however, identify areas where AIdevelopments are at high risk or too dangerous to be used in judicial proceedings.In thisThe use of artificial intelligence in law represents one of the biggest challenges across different legal systems.

Gold particles are commonly used as catalysts in the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth of GaAs nanowires, but the incorporation of gold into the nanowires can negatively affect their electronic and optical properties. In this work, we investigate the equilibrium concentration of Au in GaAs nanowires using density functional theory calculations combined with thermodynamically assessed chemical potent
Pancreatic cancer remains one of the deadliest cancers due to its resistance to conventional therapies, necessitating the development of novel treatment strategies. This study investigates the anticancer potential of caulerpin, a bisindole alkaloid derived from the invasive marine alga Caulerpa cylindracea, encapsulated in biocompatible cubosomes. Caulerpin was sustainably extracted via microwave-
In the Law and Emotion field, the integration of reason and emotion finds support in empirical research. Legal practice, however, still maintains that ‘rational, objective’ law is devoid of emotion. This raises the question of how to incorporate the divide itself in a theoretical understanding of the role of emotions in legal practice. The legal system is congenial with other modern bureaucratic iIn the Law and Emotion field, the integration of reason and emotion finds support in empirical research.

Det här kapitlet tar avstamp i en av dessa händelser ’från fältet’, i detta fall en teater, som hänger sig kvar många år efteråt men som inte använts eftersom den innehåller för många trådar: lite om metod, lite om etik, mycket om kroppar och om närvaro och om kön om man vill. Händelsen börjar i ett misstag som jag utnyttjar men sen får betala för och som väckte känslor både hos mig och hos den ja
