This study investigates how digital innovation influences green technology innovation (GTI) in China, using provincial panel data from 2011 to 2023. It explores three transmission mechanisms—technology diffusion, R&D, and policy support—and further examines GTI’s downstream effects on economic growth and employment. The analysis reveals a complex, partially nonlinear relationship, with regiona

Botswana’s reputation as a beacon of fiscal prudence in resource-rich economies faces new challenges. Yet recent pressures – rising debt, declining surpluses, and fiscal volatility – raise questions about the long-term sustainability of this model. This thesis examines how Botswana’s fiscal capacity has shaped its ability to manage natural resource wealth between 1990 and 2022. Drawing on a compos

This paper deals with numerical investigations of cross laminated timber (CLT) beams. Previous investigations have revealed discrepancies between experimental test results and suggested design methods regarding shear force capacity of such beams. To gain further understanding of the failure behaviour and the shear force capacity, nonlinear finite element analyses have been performed, using a cohes

Extreme Value Theory (EVT) is the state-of-the-art method for proactive prediction of accident frequency from traffic interactions on a microscopic scale. The main advantage of using EVT is to predict unobserved critical events based on one or more Surrogate Measures of Safety (SMoS) (single- or multivariate EVT) through a mathematical extrapolation of extreme interactions. Such interactions are q

This biographical study explores the composition of civil society elites in the United Kingdom by analyzing 154 biographies of governance and executive leaders from the most resource-rich civil society organizations. Drawing on concepts from elite and nonprofit leadership studies, the research explores internal homogeneity—similarities within the group—and external homogeneity—common traits with oThis biographical study explores the composition of civil society elites in the United Kingdom by analyzing 154 biographies of governance and executive leaders from the most resource-rich civil society organizations.

This volume addresses a gap in previous research and explores Nordic textbooks chronologically and empirically from the Protestant Reformation to our present time. The chapters are written by scholars from universities in Finland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, countries that distinguish themselves with a rich tradition of textbook research. The authors represent different academic traditions and use

“Netflix and chill?” It has been 10 years since this phrase has become an innuendo for casual sex. Netflix has become a streaming titan with over 300 million subscribers. The success of Netflix owes much to its original contents emphasising the competitive edge. Netflix categories its soft-core porn titles as Steamy Movies on the platform and even has an established category code for the genre, 11

Climate variability poses an increasing threat to freshwater ecosystems. Particularly in temperate regions where the everchanging precipitation and temperature patterns can alter lake hydrology. The study investigates long-term variation in lake surface area in response to climate drivers across four lakes in southern Sweden, from 2000 to 2024. This was done using satellitebased remote sensing and

In this chapter, I examine how argumentation is portrayed in the subject of Danish (L1), focusing especially on the extent to which argumentation is linked both to the individual student and community building. I analyse central passages from recent curricula and a course on argumentation from the most used learning material in Denmark within the subject of Danish. The analysis is framed by the wo

Scandinavian countries have a long tradition of widespread public schooling linked to civic education. In the most recent curriculum reforms, concepts from rhetoric appear in various forms in language arts subject curricula from primary to upper-secondary school. In this article, we examine how current Scandinavian curricula reflect rhetoric and rhetorical education through content analysis based

In this literature review, chaotropic additives in supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) were investigated. Due to the usage of CO2 as mobile phase in supercritical fluid chromatography, the technique was assumed to only be appliable to non-polar analytes. Polar modifiers were able extend the range to include polar analytes. Though it’s still insufficient to separate some sets of polar comp

Tonåringar utgör en viktig källa till flexibel och lågavlönad arbetskraft inom servicesektorn. Trots detta saknas forskning som belyser och problematiserar deras sysselsättningsmönster, anställningsvillkor och arbetserfarenheter – särskilt i en nordisk kontext. Denna avhandling analyserar gymnasieelever som arbetskraft i Sverige, i skärningspunkten mellan kundnära servicebranscher som är beroende Teenage students constitute an important source of flexible, low-cost labor in interactive service sectors. However, existing empirical research has primarily treated their labor as transitional, focusing on its impact on future employment or labor market outcomes. There remains a lack of knowledge about how these young workers experience and make sense of their early employment, particularly with

Objective To explore teaching- and assessment-related factors that predict medical students' perceived attainment of sufficient skills to incorporate scientific evidence into patient care. Methods An anonymous questionnaire was distributed to final-semester students in six medical programs in Sweden. The students were asked to rate statements concerning the extent to which 11 national degree outco
