Introduction: Dietary macronutrient composition, specifically the intake of meals enriched in carbohydrates, fats, protein or fibre, triggers distinct postprandial metabolic responses but whether these responses vary significantly based on an individual’s glycaemic status: type 1 diabetes (T1D), type 2 diabetes (T2D), or normoglycaemia (ND) remains an open question. Background: Metabolomic and

In the context of increasing geopolitical tensions and the growing use of economic coercion in international relations, the European Union adopted (EU) Regulation 2023/2675 better known as the Anti-Coercion Instrument (ACI). This study analyses the political and legal developments that led to the adoption of the regulation, alongside its objectives, and its operational structure. It further examin

Abstract Global industrial providers increasingly recognize the aftermarket as a significant source of untapped value, yet many remain challenged in the pursuit of capturing it. This research examines a global medical simulation provider where the absence of strategic segmentation between primary product flows and the distribution of spare parts has produced persistent operational misalignment. Le

Urban form strongly influences sunlight access, a critical factor for well‐being in Nordic cities where low solar altitude and short winter days limit natural light. Despite its importance, solar access is often secondary in planning, as street layouts are typically shaped by topography, traffic, and existing infrastructure. Although analytical tools and historical examples highlight deliberate or

This study examines why some separatist insurgencies negotiate while others continue armed struggle, focusing on BRN-C in Southern Thailand and the Kachin Independence Organization (KIO) in Myanmar. Despite similar ethnoreligious, peripheral, and long-standing conflicts, BRN-C entered negotiations with the Thai state in 2025, while KIO continued its insurgency. Using a Most Similar Different Outco

Toxic behavior refers to verbal and behavioral forms of cyberaggression within online multiplayer gaming environments, often attributed to anonymity, player interdependence, competitiveness, and the availability of direct communication channels. This study systematically examined predictors of toxic behavior, including (1) descriptive and injunctive normative beliefs, (2) HEXACO personality traits

In the contemporary marketing era dominated by social media, internet memes have emerged as a powerful tool for brands to generate consumer engagement. Memes successfully combine two important entertainment aspects: culture and humour. Whether and how different humour styles lead to greater engagement for brand memes has remained relatively unexplored. Therefore, we investigate this using today’s

This study explores how cultural identity and belonging are experienced and negotiated among Turkish-Swedes across generations. Drawing on qualitative interviews with first and second generation participants, the study examines how identity is shaped through everyday practices, family relations, use of language as well as experiences of inclusion and exclusion within Swedish society. Thematic anal

This study aims to explore how finance managers in Indonesian subsidiaries perceive management control systems implemented by headquarters, based on an understanding of how these controls are designed and used. The study also examines how institutional duality shapes these perceptions within headquarters–subsidiary interactions.

Regulatory frameworks within digital markets create both challenges and opportunities for small and medium-sized software-as-a-service (SaaS) ventures operating under resource constraints. This study explores how decision-makers within SaaS ventures make sense of regulatory frameworks and how these interpretations influence organizational strategic responses. Using a qualitative and interpretivist

BACKGROUND: Early diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer-related arm lymphedema (BCRAL) is essential to prevent progression. Local tissue water (LTW) can be assessed using the tissue dielectric constant (TDC), enabling detection before an increase of arm volume occurs. However, knowledge of the variation of LTW during cancer treatment and appropriate LTW thresholds for early detection of BCRAL i

Volume status of a patient is difficult to assess clinically. Methods to measure plasma volume as well as changes in plasma volume in connection with fluid therapy are therefore valuable for research purposes and could potentially be used bedside to guide fluid therapy in individual patients. The objective of the present study was to evaluate hematocrit as a marker of changes in plasma volum
