First, the printed journal is analysed in accordance with Unsworth (1997), focusing on how the resources of text, images and graphics are deployed in scientific explanation and how the meaning is constructed by the visuals. Second, the interpretative process of meaning-making is uncovered by think aloud protocols. In order to produce an aural version of the complex text, the interpreter must asses

Peer support workers are increasingly considered an essential ingredient in recovery-oriented mental health services. While research continues to point to promising results concerning the ability of these workers to positively impact service users’ experience of hope, quality of life and even health, peer support workers have only recently been introduced in Sweden and the aim of this study was to

Palliative care for older persons has been less prioritised than palliative care for younger people with cancer, which may lead to unnecessary suffering and decreased quality of life at the final stage of life.Aim: To evaluate whether a palliative care intervention had any influence on the perceived qual
A longitudinal study examined the association between interpersonal goals (selfimage and compassionate goals) and depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms. We propose that having self-image goals (trying to create and manage a positive image) may lead to psychological distress, while genuinely taking others' needs into account and caring for their welfare (compassionate goals) may promote psycholo

Circular business models (CBMs) promise improved resource efficiency, value creation and retention. Still, CBM operationalization among large incumbents remains slow in practice.

Prior research outlines challenges that incumbents encounter when operationalizing CBMs - yet remains fragmented and unable to ex

Based on theories from postcolonial studies, feminist studies, security studies, approaches on collective trauma, and emotion studies this thesis analyzes ‘Cologne’ as a trauma which has en
Following the UNHCR:s launch of the #IBelong Campaign to End Statelessness by 2024 in November 2014, a Global Action Plan to End Statelessness: 2014 – 2024 was adopted urging states to undertake ten actions to end statelessness, including to facilitate the naturalization of stateless migrants. While the facilitated naturalization of stateless persons would certainly reduce the occurrence of statel
Currently, one can witness a Nanotechnology-hype across different economies and sectors based on its significant potential on the nanoscale. This causes debates about Nanotechnology’s future development and whether it can be characterised as a General Purpose Technology (short: GPT). Nanotechnology as an emerging technology benefits from the nanoscale on which many other sectors work, easing the d

Companies seem to be increasingly interested tapping into bottom-of-the-pyramid (BoP) markets, but only a few multinational corporations have managed to achieve a successful breakthrough. This paper aims to identify several critical aspects of BoP business models that have to be redefined in order to enable mutual value creation in low-income countries. A qualitative approach is adopted in the for
Democratic transitions have been associated with a high level of economic development and good economic performance according to modernization theory. However, until now no consensus has been reached about the specific form of the relationship. Thus, this study attempts to examine whether these suggested linkages hold evidence for the case example of Latin America by testing a linear as well as a
When a victim is in need, people are less likely to help when there are other persons present. In general, this means that the probability of helping decreases in negative correlation to the number of bystanders affected. In social psychology literature, researchers refer to this phenomenon as the individual Bystander Effect. From another perspective, the decreased probability for the victim to re
