Social media workers have become an important communication profession within the organisational context. However, workers behind organisational social media accounts remain understudied. This study problematises the limited emphasis of existing research on the self-perceptions of communication practitioners and introduces the perspective of social media workers. The purpose of this study is to ex
Popular Abstract in Swedish Streptococcus pyogenes Människan är ständigt koloniserad av en mängd olika mikroorganismer. De flesta bakterier är ofarliga och en del av dem är faktiskt nödvändiga för oss, t.ex. de tarmbakterier som hjälper oss att producera vitaminer. Grupp A streptokocker (GAS) eller Streptococcus pyogenes, är en av de vanligaste sjukdomsframkallande bakterierna hos människan. De kaWe have found that a set of group A streptococcal strains, primarily associated with skin infections, express surface-associated M proteins that bind plasminogen and plasmin with high affinity. The binding is mediated by a common 13 amino acid internal repeated sequence located in the NH2-terminal surface-exposed portion of these M proteins. It could be demonstrated that plasminogen, absorbed by t
The importance of the N-terminal region of human cystatin C or chicken cystatin for the kinetics of interactions of the inhibitors with four cysteine proteinases was characterized. The association rate constants for the binding of recombinant human cystatin C to papain, ficin, actinidin and recombinant rat cathepsin B were 1.1 x 10(7), 7.0 x 10(6), 2.4 x 10(6) and 1.4 x 10(6) M-1.s-1, whereas the
Railway expansion is usually associated with containing and supporting economic growth. This particular research approaches railways from the angle of technological potential. It explores whether railways can drive China towards technology-led growth, and if so, the way in which this process occurs. The study uses a theoretical framework of complementarities adjusting it to the qualitative analysi
This article aims to ‘dig for the roots’ of the entanglement between secularity and the Bible in Sweden. By employing the concepts “religionization” and “biblical assemblages,” this study identifies and analyzes the interplay between perceptions of secularity and the Bible in the public debate on women’s ordination in the Church of Sweden (CofS) in the 1950s – a crucial decade in the secularizatio
In Swedish feminist debates of the 1960s and 1970s, the productive woman was frequently constructed as the binary opposite of the non-productive woman. The former was associated with liberation, moral integrity, and independence. The latter was characterized in terms of passivity, laziness, and dependence. By engaging in paid labour, or by otherwise demonstrating her contribution to the greater go
The United States and the European Union operate under the similar design of a federal structure and their labor markets face similar tax discrimination challenges. Case law illustrates how the goal of a common market present in both unions is highly influential on the respective Courts and provides a flexible structure to protect individuals against discriminatory tax legislation. It is the centr
Tourism is considered one of the main driving forces of economic growth. At the same time, micro and small businesses play a vital role in the development of the tourism sector as a supply side. Also, the development of entrepreneurial activity directly depends on internal and external financial resources. So, this qualitative case study investigates the access to external finance, concessional lo
Progress on Sustainable Development Goal 4: Quality Education (SDG4) has been insufficient and knowledge of how it is implemented into domestic contexts remains limited. Using norm diffusion theory as a framework, this thesis is a comparative study of SDG4 implementation in five countries around the world. By analysing both the discursive and practical impact of SDG4, this thesis has studied if an
Den här uppsatsen undersöker Europadomstolens praxis gällande utvisningar av personer som har begått brott, som hävdar att deras utvisning strider mot Artikel 8 av Europakonventionen. Uppsatsen undersöker hur domstolen har använt sig av den nationella beslutsprocessens kvalitet som ett argument för att komma fram till sin slutsats i sådana fall. Uppsatsen utgår från premissen att utvisningar som bThis thesis examines the practice of the European Court of Human Rights to decide expulsion cases implicating migrants with criminal record under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights by use of process-based review. It departs from the premise that such expulsions do not violate absolute rights but constitute interferences with a qualified right, which allows for infringements neces
The aim of this qualitative study was to investigate the social identity of students at upper secondary school for physically disabled students. The youths I drew my attention to suffered from severe physical disabilities and therefore received specially adapted education in small classes, but integrated at an ordinary upper secondary school. By "social identity" I mean how the students
In the second chapter there is a description of corruption today. First I will provide a definition of corruption. Many definitions exist, but the common criteria in these definitions are abuse of power for private gain to the detriment of public interest. After explaining the theoretical definition I will describe corruption in practice through providing different forms of corruption. Public sect
Some very significant developments in antitrust law have occurred in the last decade. Many have involved a software company that is enabling the creation of this document. Of course, I am referring to the Microsoft Corporation. Both the case, which ended in a settlement agreement in the US, and the case that is under appeal in the EU will have solemn implications for the future of technology, inno
In my paper I have emanated from the question when a refusal to deal by an undertaking in a dominant position constitutes an abuse according to article 82 EC Treaty. Article 82 of The Consolidated version of the Treaty establishing the European Community, signed in Rome 1957, incorporating the changes made by the Treaty of Amsterdam on 2 October 1997, OJ 1997 C340, pp. 173-308, hereafter referred
