I have always been an avid reader and I have often found myself wondering how other people picture the same spaces that are described. In many cases, the built environment is crucial to build a f ictional world for a story to take place, but sometimes it plays a particularly essential part in understanding the story, its characters and events. In these books, the architecture itself is the story.
There are many factors that are involved in fostering intrapreneurship in a company and knowledge management is one important process in achieving that. A previous study related to intrapreneurs’ knowledge management has proposed a framework that discusses knowledge management in various situations, focusing on exploitation, exploration, or in between, in the context of intrapreneurship. Building
There are indications that state repression against environmental activism is increasing on a global scale. Meanwhile, there is a knowledge gap concerning this phenomenon in Sweden. This thesis studies why state repression occurs in Sweden. By conducting semi-structured interviews with environmental activists, and a literature review, state repression against environmental activists is explored. T
The purpose of this research study is to identify and analyse how different CEO characteristics can influence short-term M&A performance. In particular, personal aspects in regards to M&A decisions are examined within a European setting, covering the time period from 2004 until 2013. The defined hypotheses, based on previous empirical research studies, are tested by conducting multivariate
Abstract To consider judicial institutions free from any form of political capability is to ignore theories such as judicialization which have described the process and/or ability to secure political needs through judicial procedures. Judicial institutions can thus be regarded as having both judicial and political power. This power can be described through the concept of discipline, which entail
This chapter introduces the theme of gendered knowledge production and proposes new understandings of epistemic agency, epistemic power and epistemic violence. These theoretical concepts are employed to critically approach the Women, Peace and Security agenda as a system of knowledge that comes with both possibilities and constraints. The chapter conceptualizes epistemic agency as embodied and nar
For over 5,000 y, chanting has been practiced across many Western and Eastern traditions. However, there is hardly any empirical research on 1) whether chants from across the globe share common acoustic properties, 2) whether these acoustic features make them distinct from other human vocalizations, and 3) the extent to which they may positively impact listeners’ well-being. Here, we collected 242
The Age of Liberty gave rise to a unique form of government in Sweden, the world’s first Freedom of the Press Act and civil rights. Beliefs that those in power should be loyal to the people not to God or the monarch, mark the beginning of profound social changes that took hold with the European Enlightenment.
The book contains articles written by advanced students and senior academics on European issues within a large field of perspectives.
We present a new study of deep star counts in the Local Group dwarf spheroidal (dSph) in Ursa Minor. Both the luminosity function (LF) and the color-magnitude diagram (CMD) of the unevolved stars are compared with the LF and CMD of the old, metal-poor globular cluster M92. The main sequence locations and turn-offs are identical within the errors. Since we. know from the brighter evolved stars that
Dissipation of acoustic waves may be an efficient heating mechanism forthe lower and middle chromosphere of the quiet Sun. The basic idea isthat turbulent motions at the top of the solar convection zone generateacoustic waves which propagate upwards and dissipate in the lower andmiddle chromosphere, transporting energy into the higher layers. Butstill the question remains if this amount of energy

The families' lived experience of daily life was described as "feeling drained," "disrupting family life," "feeling lo
