2. 1. The Old World Journey : National Identity in Four American Novels from 1960 to 1973

   Author : Eva Zetterberg Pettersson; Elisabeth Herion-Sarafidis; Rolf Lundén; Fredrik Christian Brögger; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; English language; Erica Jong; William Styron; Mary McCarthy; John A. Williams; Birds of America; Fear of Flying; Set This House on Fire; The Man Who Cried I Am; international novel; journey narrative; European journey; nationalism; national identity; Old World; Europe ; America ; Engelska; English language; Engelska språket;

   Abstract : A commonly held assumption among literary critics is that the motif of the European journey is exhausted in American literature in the post-World-War-II period. Challenging this view, the present study claims that the Old World journey narrative lives on, but in new guises, and that it continues to be a forum for the discussion of American national identity.

5. 3. The Modern Journey to the West : Exploring Key Factors Influencing Reverse Knowledge Transfer in Emerging-market Multinationals

   Author : Lingshuang Kong; Francesco Ciabuschi; Ulf Holm; Grazia Santangelo; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Emerging-market multinational corporations; reverse knowledge transfer political relationships; expatriate managers; headquarters-subsidiary relationship.; Business Studies; Företagsekonomi;

   Abstract : As latecomers to the world economy, emerging-market multinational corporations (EMNCs) often use international expansion as a ‘springboard’ for seeking and accessing advanced knowledge from overseas, particularly from advanced markets, with the goal of offsetting their competitive weaknesses and catching up with their Western counterparts. This behavior is conceptualized as the springboard perspective formulated by Luo and Tung (2007). READ MORE

6. 4. On string integrability : A journey through the two-dimensional hidden symmetries in the AdS/CFT dualities

   Author : Valentina Giangreco Marotta Puletti; Konstantin Zarembo; Gleb Arutyunov; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; String Theory; AdS-CFT correspondence; Integrable Field theory; Sigma models; S-matrix; Factorized Scattering; Physics; Fysik; Mathematical physics; Matematisk fysik; Theoretical Physics; teoretisk fysik;

   Abstract : One of the main topics in the modern String Theory are the conjectured string/gauge (AdS/CFT) dualities. Proving such conjectures is extremely difficult since the gauge and string theory perturbative regimes do not overlap. In this perspective, the discovery of infinitely many conserved charges, i.e. READ MORE

7. 5. Molecules and Light : A Journey into the World of Theoretical Spectroscopy

   Author : Iulia Emilia Brumboiu; Barbara Brena; Heather Kulik; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Theoretical spectroscopy; XPS; NEXAFS; PCBM; Metal phthalocyanine; Organic solar cells; Fysik med inriktning mot atom- molekyl- och kondenserande materiens fysik; Physics with spec. in Atomic; Molecular and Condensed Matter Physics;

   Abstract : Two of the main technological challenges of the century are the production of clean energy, on the one hand, and the development of new materials for electronic and spintronic applications that could increase the speed and the storage capacity of regular electronic devices, on the other hand. Organic materials, including fullerenes, organic polymers and organic molecules with metal centres are promising candidates for low-cost, flexible and clean technologies that can address these challenges.
