This paper examines transaction costs in the institutional zakat system from the open innovation perspective and tries to understand its impact on performance. It attempts to harmonise the concept of transaction costs with the open innovation strategy, especially in the aspect of zakat distribution. A quantitative approach was applied in measuring the performance of zakat distribution, where the d

We all are accustomed to projects. Projects are everywhere, and everything is basically a project. We have learnt how to deal with projects, for better or worse. Some of us love them, some of us are fed up with them. But projects are here to stay. Projects are far from a new invention, what has changed is the fine-tuning. It has changed to the point that projects of today are virtually unrecognisa

Semiconductors are at the heart of modern living. Almost everything we do, be it work, travel, communication, or entertainment, all depend on some feature of semiconductor technology. Comprehensive Semiconductor Science and Technology, Second Edition, Three Volume Set captures the breadth of this important field and presents it in a single source to the large audience who study, make, and use semi

My focus is on pragmatic arguments for various ‘rationality constraints’ on a decision maker’s state of mind: on his beliefs or preferences. An argument of this kind purports to show that a violator of a given constraint can be exposed to a decision problem in which he will act to his guaranteed disadvantage. Dramatically put, he can be exploited by a clever bookie who doesn’t know more than the a

During recent years the increasing power of computers and communications has led to the development and use of more advanced analysis techniques. Design of Experiment (DOE) has been used together with Finite Element (FE) analysis software such as ANSYS, see e.g. Johnson and Heald (1998) and Eriksson et al. (1998). Predictive Design Analysis (PDA) is an mechanical engineering design, or design for

Market-based instruments have become a widely used approach to motivate landowners to conserve forests instead of clearing them. However, such market-based instruments are increasingly criticized for their simplistic view on complex environmental, social and economic issues; for their ethical stance; and for creating exchange value for essential ecosystems services, which potentially perpetuates a

In recent decades, laser systems emitting pulses of light containing only a few electric field oscillations under their envelope have become common in many ultrafast optics laboratories. Owing to unique temporal characteristics and achieving extreme field strengths, these so-­called few­-cycle pulses have been instrumental in unlocking new regimes of light-­matter interaction.The work presented in

Storm surges combine the power of two natural hazards, strong winds and flooding, and can have devastating effects on people, infrastructure, and nature in coastal areas. Ongoing global changes, including rising sea levels and shifting storm patterns, are expected to increase both the frequency and amplitude of such events in the future. There are, however, significant regional variations and someStorm surges combine the power of two natural hazards, strong winds and flooding, and can have devastating effects on people, infrastructure, and nature in coastal areas.

Under tidsperioden 2011-2012 meddelade HD ett antal domar som på ett mycket långtgående sätt förändrade rättsläget avseende straffmätning av illegal hantering av narkotika, samt bedömningsgrunderna för om narkotikabrott ska ses somt grovt eller varandes av normalgraden. I uppsatsen har normbildningsinitiativet behandlats under benämningen narkotikarevolutionen. Detta examensarbete syftar dels tiDuring the time period 2011-2012 the Swedish Supreme Court (SSC) issued a number of precedent verdicts. The norms imposed by the judiciary power aimed at changing the legal situation regarding crimes related to narcotics. The aim was focused on how penal punishments were measured as well as the criteria for when a crime should be deemed severe or not. This paper has chosen to entitle this initiati

From 1970 to 2018 Peru has transitioned between periods of high and low frequency of shrinking. This thesis performs a qualitative analysis on quantitative trends and determines that the improvement of social capabilities was determinant to develop resilience to economic shrinking. Moreover, it finds that the most critical capability for breaking the shrinking cycle was the social stability capabi

Received remittances around the world has experienced a large increase during the last decades. This study investigates the effect that remittances have on economic growth, by using annual panel data from 81 countries from the last four decades. In the paper we divide our data into seven different periods to observe the long-term relationship through regression analysis. Our results indicate that

Landslide susceptibility models (LSMs) are essential to mitigate the danger of landslides, and with a changing climate posing potential risks to model accuracy, it is vital to understand the role that precipitation plays within LSMs and the effect shifting climatic conditions may have on model accuracy. This study produced a logistic regression LSM in the Blue Ridge Mountain region of North Caroli

1 LÄRANDE I LTH Varför finns det så många kvinnor på LTH? Det är en fråga som man inte hör ställas så ofta, men i den första artikeln i detta nummer av Lärande i LTH diskuteras detta med bakgrund av den könsfördelning som råder inom gruppen administratörer. Förekommer det att studenter oavsiktligt undgår att bidra med en egen ar- betsinsats i samband med grupparbeten? Den frågan belyses genom en f
