As global supply chains become increasingly vulnerable due to geopolitical instability, rising protectionism, and sustainability pressures, the trend of reshoring has emerged as a strategic response among multinational enterprises (MNEs). This thesis explores the drivers behind the reshoring decisions of seven Swedish MNEs and examines the entry modes (EMs) through which these firms implement thei
Gendered violence against woman and children has been in existence and predominant in various societies for a long period of time with its intensity varying from one factor to the other. Many nations around the world including Ghana in West Africa have measures and directives to mitigate of the persistent social menace and possibly eradicate it towards sustainable welfare and development for indiv
This thesis investigates how waste management in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, as a long-term complex socio-technical change process, fits in the multi-level perspective designed by Geels (2002). Due to shrinking quantities of waste that is generated in the Netherlands, the combined heat and power plants are experiencing production overcapacity. Therefore, its importing waste from the
Avhandlingen undersöker betydelsen och funktionen av tårar i romersk politisk kultur under republiken och tidig kejsartid i olika historiska sammanhang, huvudsakligen sorg, tårar och i olika politiska sammanhang där auktoritet, makt och underkastelse utövades eller iscensattes. Detta görs genom studier av hur tårar skildras i olika genrer och författarskap i latinsk och grekisk litteratur. AllmäntThe thesis explores the meaning and function of tears in Roman political culture during the Republic and the Early Empire in various historical settings: mourning, the law court, and in different political contexts where power, authority, and subjection were expressed or exercised. This is carried through by reading representations of weeping in Greek and Latin literary works in different genres,
The overall aims of this thesis were to investigate the effects of an aerobic exercise program and the impact of migraine and co-existing TTH and NP in persons with these combined conditions. This thesis is based on four studies.In study I, a new questionnaire, Impact of Migraine, TTH and NP (Impact M-TTH-NP), was developed. This questionnaire covered pain, triggers, psychosocial,socioeconomic and
Bakgrund Teknikutvecklingen inom hälso- och sjukvårdsområdet möjliggör ständigt nya och mer avancerade sätt att distansmonitorera och vårda patienter digitalt. Digitaliseringen inom hälso- och sjukvårdsområdet i form av till exempel hälsoapplikationer gör det möjligt för patienter och personal att ha kontakt och kommunicera digitalt med varandra (WHO, 2011). itACiH är ett digitalt system där patie

Autoimmune murine disease models are vital tools for identifying novel targets and finding better treatments for human diseases. Complete Freund’s adjuvant is commonly used to induce disease in autoimmune models, and the quality of the adjuvant/autoantigen emulsion is of critical importance in determining reproducibility. We have established an emulsification method using a standard homogenizer an
We investigate robustness properties of the Generalized Proportional Allocation (GPA) policy that has been recently proposed for traffic signal control in urban networks. The GPA policy is fully decentralized, relies only on local information on the current congestion state, and requires no knowledge of the routing, the exogenous inflows, or the network structure. In previous work, we proved throu
Rather than viewing online platforms as digital marketplaces, we analyze platforms as corporations and platform participants as a workforce. Online platforms perform very similar functions as any other corporation, but in different ways (applying terms and conditions as a legal framework and data, reviews, and algorithms for decentralized control) and mostly in different contexts (informal labor m
With this paper and the accompanying audio paper, our aim is to explore the juxtaposition of sound and democracy. Recognizing the multifaceted nature of this field, we approach it through the notion of care and an empirical analysis of democratic implications of trying to regulate sound in public spaces. We examine standards as one example of the many attempts to control sound in both public and p
Immunotherapies with antibody-drug-conjugates (ADC) and CAR-T cells, targeted at tumor surface antigens (surfaceome), currently revolutionize clinical oncology. However, target identification warrants a better understanding of the surfaceome and how it is modulated by the tumor microenvironment. Here, we decode the surfaceome and endocytome and its remodeling by hypoxic stress in glioblastoma (GBM
I Arktis er en klimakjempe i ferd med å våkne sakte, men sikkert fra sin lange dvale: Permafrosten – grunn som kan ha vært frosset i tusenvis av år – begynner flere steder å tine på grunn av de sterkt økende temperaturene (Box m.fl. 2019). Dette kan gjøre klimaproblemet enda verre enn det allerede er, fordi det kan føre til store utslipp av drivhusgasser som CO2 og metan (CH4). Når det skjer, varmSammendragI Arktis er en klimakjempe i ferd med å våkne sakte, men sikkert fra sin lange dvale: Permafrosten – grunn som kan ha vært frosset i tusenvis av år – begynner flere steder å tine på grunn av de sterkt økende temperaturene (Box m.fl. 2019). Dette kan gjøre klimaproblemet enda verre enn det allerede er, fordi det kan føre til store utslipp av drivhusgasser som CO2 og metan (CH4). Når det s
The effort to address climate change cuts across a wide range of non-environmental actors and policy areas, including international economic institutions such as the Group of Twenty (G20), International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). These institutions do not tend to address climate change so much as an environmental issue, but as an eco
This chapter addresses the question of the outer limits of the European Union’s (EU) internal market and its significance in the Union's foreign policy, especially in relations with the EU’s neighbouring countries. The internal market forms the core of European integration and has gained increased importance in the external context. Through an analysis of the relevance of the internal market withi
