In todays knowledge economy the use of information and communcation technology (ICT) is ever increasing. The need for investment in ICT infrastructure is stressed from a range of policy makers. In this thesis, using the concept of virtual proximity, the question of how these ICTs can facilitate innovation for rurally located companies will be discussed. The thesis will be aimed at the plastic indu
Women’s empowerment is crucial for overall development. It has been recognized by international organizations as important factor as Millennium Development Goal (The Millennium Development Goals Report 2014:20). The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how male labour migration influences social and economic position of left behind women in Nepal. United Nations (UNDP 2010) has acknowledged im
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to give a contribution to the studies of what strategies those are of importance for challengers in consumer technological markets aiming for the market leader position. To be able to investigate this phenomenon we have chosen to study Microsoft’s second position in the video game console industry. In addition, we want to illuminate Microsoft’s competitive ad
This thesis’ focus will be on the comic book series Locke & Key in a semiotic and an intertextual reading through a psychoanalytical framework. The comic series is described as a “psychological horror” and a main theme running across the six volumes is good versus evil, and a lot of the narrative is helped by magical keys.

I conduct four eth
Though established as a movement and recognised as artistic form, light art remains elusive and somewhat enigmatic in its definitions and categorisations. This thesis aims to contribute to the current discourse on light art by exploring the application of objecthood and embodied simulation whilst acknowledging the contextual, three-dimensional, spectacular, and anti-art qualities of the art form.
More than 500 people die every day from gun violence worldwide. DNA traces may enable the identification of the shooter, but there is limited knowledge concerning where on firearms DNA can be found and how it got there. This project aimed to answer these questions as well as how the swab types and addition of detergents affect the DNA recovery. Three swab types were examined (cotton, nylon flocke
The ancient Kriegsraison doctrine awarded absolute predominance to the achievement of military advantages in armed conflicts and therefore granted the opportunity to secede from all restrictive laws of war. The doctrine was therefore formally condemned as abusive and inconsistent with modern International Humanitarian Law. Especially the contemporary military necessity principle is viewed as a fac
The idea that sex-differences in selection drive the evolution of suppressed recombination between sex chromosomes is well-developed in population genetics. Yet, despite a now classic body of theory, empirical evidence that sexually antagonistic (SA) selection drives the evolution of recombination arrest remains equivocal and alternative hypotheses underdeveloped. Here, we investigate whether the
This systematic review and meta-analysis of individual patient data evaluates the outcomes of treatment for Dupuytren's disease using limited fasciectomy (LF), percutaneous needle fasciotomy (PNF) and collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) injection. A total of 1423 studies were identified, of which 15 met the eligibility criteria for meta-analysis. The postoperative total extension deficit wa

Among the four sub-analyses conducted, one focused on adolescents and young adults (AYA population) with PV and ET, demonstrating that the characteristics of thrombotic events in young Japanese patients differ
In recent years, the environmental impact of warfare has made front-page news. Discussions about “ecocide”—a term first proposed in 1970 by Yale biologist Arthur W. Galston to describe the large-scale destruction of ecosystems during the Vietnam War—have come into the spotlight. The preparation and conduct of war, along with the social, economic, and scientific reorganisation that accompany it, of
This book is about the creation, relocation, and reconstruction of libraries between the late Middle Ages and the Age of Confessionalization, that is, the era of religious division and struggle in Northern Europe following the Reformation and Counter-Reformation in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. At the time, different creeds clashed with each other, but it was also a period in which the
