The presence of unobserved heterogeneity and its likely detrimental effect on inference has recently motivated the use of factor-augmented panel regression models. The workhorse of this literature is based on first estimating the unknown factors using the cross-section averages of the observables, and then applying ordinary least squares conditional on the first-step factor estimates. This is the

This chapter discusses how processes of mediatization shape the increasing visibility and contestation of religion in public debate. Mediatization captures the interrelated processes of change between media technologies, institutions, and practices and other parts of society and culture. The first part presents a theoretical framework for the interplay between politics and traditional news media a

Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan is a substantial European Union (EU) investment into cancer prevention and treatment. Integration of genetic services towards personalised cancer prevention and care is a flagship of this plan. Genetic counselling is critical to this integration, facilitating informed patient decision making and improved clinical management. However, growing demands for genetic testing

The current entry summarizes research bringing together the linguistic relativity hypothesis (the idea that language affects thought, in predictable ways) and the field of bi/multilingualism, broadly conceived to include learning, knowledge, and use of more than one language. After a brief historical introduction, the entry covers empirical research conducted in five main domains of enquiry, namel

This article examines the emerging migration corridor between Uzbekistan and Sweden based on interviews, focus groups, and data from a survey conducted in both countries in 2024. Although small in scale, this corridor is analytically significant for understanding the diversification of Uzbek migration beyond Russia and Turkey. Findings show that demographic pressures, limited employment, and envir

The HLD-NAC (Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Difference - Net Average Curvature) equation of state is a powerful semi-empirical framework used to predict the phase behavior, solubilization, and interfacial properties of surfactant-oil-water (SOW) systems it is based on the assumption of a normalized curvature for an idealized microemulsion, represented as the coexistence of two fictitious phases: water dro

Acoustophoresis is a cell separation technology where particles or cells are suspended in a fluid container and subject to acoustic standing waves. The standing waves exerts an acoustic radiation force on the particles, pushing them towards the nodal plane. This movement is called migration, and the migration velocity depends on the acoustic mobility of the particle, which depend on the particle s

Due to the position of the Maltese archipelago in the central Mediterranean sea, Migration is a topic of recurring relevance. The particular geographical location and strong sense of cultural identity are central themes in the public discourse, influencing societal structures and political decision-making surrounding migration. This research makes use of a critical discourse analysis to understa

The aim of our study is to understand how communication is used to master the challenges of ambidexterity when diffusing innovation in a mature tech company. This qualitative study in the interpretivist research tradition takes an abductive research approach, in the form of a single case study. The empirical material consists of fourteen in-depth semi-structured interviews and was analyzed by dist

In the face of an expected double demand for electricity by 2045 while also reaching the goal of being a net zero emission country, Sweden needs to expand the production capacity of low-emission electricity. As the right-wing government strives to facilitate new investments in nuclear power, this paper aims to examine the profitability of nuclear power in comparison to land-based wind power. Throu

Samhället går mot en ökad digitalisering vilket trots många fördelar innebär större sårbarhet och fler risker. Därför har cybersäkerhet fått en större betydelse men gränserna för vad som är tillåtet är oklart. Cyberoperationer är handlingar som företas i en virtuell verklighet vilken kallas cyberrymden. Om handlingarna har offensiva inslag och utnyttjar andra staters svagheter kallas de för offensSociety becomes increasingly digitalized, which despite many advantages entails greater vulnerability and more risks. Therefore, the importance of cybersecurity has increased but the limitation of cyber operations is unclear. Cyber operations are actions performed in a virtual reality called cyberspace. If these actions have offensive elements and exploit other states’ weaknesses, they are referre

Intermarriage patterns are often referred to as a step in the social assimilation. However, previous research on is ambiguous in its result concerning differences in intermarriage pattern between genders. According to the theory intermarriage patterns are both influences by preferences and opportunities. This thesis conducts a conditional fixed effects logistic regression to analyses the intermarr

This Master thesis is investigating how communities of practice can enhance knowledge sharing in a context of improving a harmonized Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system used in supply chain. A student from the faculty of production and materials engineering at Lund university (LTH) collaborated with the Global Trinity organization from Alfa Laval (Lund, Sweden) to answer the research que

Given the rise of new startups and the challenges amplified by events like the Covid-19, it is critical to address the notion of the Entrepreneurial Ecosystem which, in turn, facilitates the development of new ventures. One of the actors within this ecosystem is startup accelerators, which provide networking opportunities, financial and mentoring assistance to new ventures. Previous research on ac

Begreppet rättssäkerhet används ofta både inom och utom den rättsvetenskapliga sfären. Eftersom man inte sällan möter det i den allmänna debatten i Sverige, syftar den här uppsatsen till att undersöka om begreppet i det sammanhanget används i samma betydelse som inom rättsvetenskapen. Undersökningen tar avstamp i vad framstående svenska rättsvetare har uttryckt ifråga om att definiera begreppet rThe Swedish equivalent of the term “the rule of law”, namely “rättssäkerhet”, is widely used both within and outside of the sphere of legal research. Since it is often seen in the Swedish public debate, this essay aims to examine whether the term is used in the same denotation in this context, as it is within the context of legal studies. This examination starts off by compiling and collating wha

Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka huruvida ESG-betyg har någon påverkan på skuldkostnaden hos europeiska industriföretag. Vidare ämnar studien att bidra med empiriskt material för att ge en tydligare inblick i relationen mellan ESG och Cost of debt för företag i koldioxidintensiva sektorer. Metod: Studien antar en deduktiv ansats med kvantitativ metod. För att tydliggöra sambandet mPurpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether ESG ratings have any impact on cost of debt in European industrial companies. Furthermore, the study intends to contribute with empirical material to provide a clearer insight into the relationship between ESG and cost of debt for companies in carbon dioxide-intensive industries. Method: The study adopts a deductive approach with a quan

This study develops the concept of 'realms of carbon’ to advance an understanding of climate politics in sites where carbon production and consumption, generating carbon emissions, is embedded in culture and identity. It does so by drawing on insights of three different theories, which in different ways, deal with dimensions of culture and identity to economic and political life. The study fur

Tidigare forskning lyfter fram betydande fördelar med den digitala marknadsföringen, samtidigt som det framförs att det är av vikt att behålla den traditionella marknadsföringen. Vad som är viktigt, oavsett om strategin baseras på traditionell eller digital marknadsföring, är en strategi som kommunicerar ett tydligt varumärke och anpassar sig efter kunden. Därmed menar tidigare forskning att en ko
