This paper challenges the dominant conceptualization of authentic self-presentation as real, genuine or true expression of inner essence or social identity (Lehmann et al., 2019) and calls for its redefinition in light of the rise of AI-generated content within algorithmically mediated online environments. Authenticity has long been central to identity construction and self-presentation, tradition
The purpose of this study is to shed light on what motives social work students have in their choice of career, more specifically what their perceptions are regarding social services and how this guides them in their choice of career. The key research question is: how can we understand social work students’ motives in their choice of profession and career paths? The analysis is guided by the two c
The current state of the water and sanitation sector has put water-related innovations high on the global policy agenda. However, the systemic complexity that typically surrounds such contexts call for actionable knowledge of how to enable and orchestrate innovative solutions by connecting different players via organized networks. In this study we explore and analyse the Water Innovation Accelerat
Turbulent breakup in emulsification devices is a dynamic process. Small viscous drops undergo a sequence of oscillations before entering the monotonic deformation phase leading to breakup. The turbulence-interface interactions prior to reaching critical deformation are therefore essential for understanding and modeling breakup. This contribution uses numerical experiments to characterize the critiTurbulent breakup in emulsification devices is a dynamic process.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Inflammation is a protective response against injury or infection (the invading microbes or their toxins) with the aim being the removal of causal agent followed by the repair process. Without inflammation, infections would go unchecked and wounds would not heal. However, inflammation is like a double-edged sword. Though it is mainly a protective response, some times, iThe pro-inflammatory mediator, Leukotriene D4 (LTD4) is a product of arachidonic acid cascade and has been implicated in asthma and inflammatory bowel diseases. Prolonged inflammatory conditions like ulcerative colitis increases the risk for the development of cancer and the factors that induce the chronic immune response remain uncertain. In this context, in the present study, we examined if expo
Member State financing of public broadcasters has long been a contentious issue within the European Union, which strives for an open marketplace where broadcasters of different origins move and compete freely. The public financing of certain broadcasters – reinforced by the Amsterdam Protocol and Member States’ desire to maintain and enhance democracy as well as social and cultural values – poses
More than a decade ago the WHO Health Promoting Hospitals project was initiated in order to support hospitals towards placing greater emphasis on health promotion and disease prevention, rather than on diagnostic and curative services alone. Twenty hospitals in eleven European countries participated in the European pilot project from 1993 to 1997. Since then, the International Network of Health Pr
Purpose – This study aims to explore how an accessibility database (AD) has been developed and implemented as a tool for facility managers to evaluate and increase the accessibility of public facilities.Design/methodology/approach – Eight participants were strategically sampled for semi-structured interviews, and documents on the AD were gathered. The Consolidated Framework for Implementation Rese
Honing and Samuelsson have in a two papers (2014, 2015) criticized the Delmar and Shane (2003) paper on several grounds: The data are difficult to replicate; conflicting results with another paper using the same data and similar independent variable; the inability to fully rule out reversed causality because of tied events; and what is the choice of relevant dependent variable. I also commented on
Popular Abstract in Uncoded languages A modern tartószerkezeti szabványok általában két fő követelményt támasztanak a tartószerkezetekekkel, illetve szerkezeti elemekkel szemben. Az egyik a tönkremenetellel szembeni biztonsághoz, míg a másik a használhatósághoz kapcsolódik. A szerkezeti használhatóság a tartószerkezet azon képessége, hogy tervezett szerepét élettartams során folyamatosan betöltse.In many design situations the acceptable performance of structures is defined by serviceability requirements. To estimate the probability of serviceability failure three main design aspects should be considered: (1) the relevant exposures, (2) the structural response and (3) the performance criteria. This thesis presents background information and new findings on structural serviceability related
Popular Abstract in English Low fuel consumption, and reduced exhaust emissions, as well as improved performance and durability become much more important than before for the vehicle industry. These requirements lead to a number of additional equipment installed in the vehicles. All these efforts increase the operating temperature in the engine compartment and reduce the available free space in thCross flow heat exchangers made from aluminum are common as radiators in vehicles. However, due to the increasing power requirement and the limited available space in vehicles, it is extremely difficult to increase the size of heat exchangers (HEXs) placed in the front of vehicles. Placing the heat exchanger on the roof or at the underbody of vehicles might offer opportunity to increase the size o
The industry today strives for the development of new materials and production methods to reduce CO2 emissions and production cost with lighter materials and more effective manufacturing processes. Scientists and engineers work with different methods and models to ensure the demands for new technology. The aim of this thesis is to experimentally measure the mechanical properties of two titanium al
Cisplatin is a cytostatic agent that has been used for more than 30 years in the treatment of a wide spectrum of tumours. The clinical use is limited by its side effects, primarily renal toxicity. An enhanced anti tumour effect has been demonstrated for radioactive (191Pt) cisplatin both in in vitro and in vivo models by our group. The purpose of the present study was to compare the side effects f
The concrete sector is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions; consumes substantial amounts of natural resources and serves as a significant source of global waste. The Circular Economy approach has been put forward as the solution to these environmental issues, but the overall effectiveness of the approach has been called into question by existing research. The aim of this thesis
Along with the ever-expanding interest in brands, the brand orientation concept has since its inception in the early 1990s steadily received more and more attention from scholars and practitioners alike. Brand orientation ultimately captures how organisations can develop sustainable competitive advantages in the form of brands.
