The Nigerian jihadist-terrorist movement Boko Haram reached international notoriety especially after the bombing of an UN-headquarters in Abuja in 2011 and after the kidnappings of 276 schoolgirls in 2014. But these events are minor parts of rapid evolutionary ideological developments and expansion. In 2009 Boko Haram´s leader, Mohammad Yusuf, was killed by Nigerian forces and the movement was con

African cooperatives are in the process to adapt to a liberalised economy where they are expected to function as independent business entities. So is also the case in Uganda where the competition on the free market puts pressure on cooperative performance. This thesis asks the question why some cooperatives fail in this context while others succeed and tries to find the answer in the organisationa

In order to attain an understanding of the emerging of a collective foreign policy in Europe, the thesis sheds light over the Arab-Israeli conflict and how the interlocked crises of the 1970s in the Middle East affected the evolving of a European common position in the region. The study is based on realist assumptions and uses the theory about states cooperating as a strategy of balancing global

This paper indentifies the factors that affect the childbearing behaviors for marriage immigrants in Taiwan during 1987 to 2003, measured by individual level data for 87, 798 observations obtained from QLSFS (Quasi-longitudinal Study on Living Status of the Foreign Born Spouses in Taiwan). This survey contains the socio-demographic information for both immigrant women and their native husbands, wh

In the wake of OpenAI's release of ChatGPT in November 2022, powered by the 175 billion parameter neural network GPT-3, the potential applications of Large Language Models (LLMs) in various sectors have become evident. One such application lies in hedge funds and trading desks where knowledge sharing is paramount. These entities often possess a wealth of firm-specific knowledge that spans diff

Attitudes towards littering A study of residents’ attitudes towards littering in public spaces in Malmö city All forms of littering are considered a crime according to the chapter 15 § 30 of the Swedish Environmental Code. Still, littering is considered an increasing rather than a decreasing phenomenon. The results of littering are not just esthetical nuisance and increased street cleaning costs b

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to create a better understanding of how collective creativity processes are influenced by the shift in space when employees are forced to work from home (WFH). Research Question: How has the enforced WFH affected collective creativity processes? Methodology: The study was conducted by in-depth semi-structured interviews with employees from a large Swedish mult

This study investigates acoustic and articulatory correlates of South Swedish word accents (Accent 1 vs. 2) – a tonal distinction traditionally associated with F0 timing. The study is motivated by previous findings on (i) the acoustic complexity of tonal prosody and (ii) tonal-articulatory interplay in other languages. Acoustic and articulatory (EMA) data from two controlled experiments are reportThis study investigates acoustic and articulatory correlates of South Swedish word accents (Accent 1 vs. 2) — a tonal distinction traditionally associated with F0 timing.

The present meta-analysis investigated the relations between creative self-efficacy (CSE) and creativity measures and hypothesized that self-assessed questionnaires would have a different relation to self-efficacy beliefs compared to other creativity tests. The meta-analysis synthesized 60 effect sizes from 41 papers (overall N = 17226). Taken as a whole, the relation between CSE and creativity meThis meta-analysis investigated the relations between creative self-efficacy (CSE) and creativity measures and hypothesized that self-assessed questionnaires would have a different relation to self-efficacy beliefs compared to other creativity tests.

This paper presents a selection of epigraphic documents dispersed over three quarry faces (C11–C13) in the Main Quarry (Q34) at Gebel el-Silsila’s east bank, dating from the reign of the Emperor Augustus. The aim is to describe and decipher the various marks and depictions, and to translate the Demotic and Greek texts, in order to determine for what structure the stone from the quarry was intended

Background and purpose - Assessment of potential disparities in access to care is a vital part of achieving equity in health and healthcare. We have therefore studied the effect of socioeconomic status (SES) on the rates of knee and hip replacement due to osteoarthritis. Methods - This was a cohort study in Skåne, Sweden. We included all residents aged ≥ 35 years with consultations between 2004 an

The industrial exploitation of high value nanoparticles is in need of robust measurement methods to increase the control over product manufacturing and to implement quality assurance. InNanoPart, a European metrology project responded to these needs by developing methods for the measurement of particle size, concentration, agglomeration, surface chemistry and shell thickness.
