This paper identifies and analyzes paradoxes in perception of organizational crisis. Based on the observation of conflicting views on organizational crises that tend to polarize towards either threats or opportunities, we explore contradictions and interrelations in the concept. Our purpose is to reveal ambivalences and dynamics between the paradoxical pairs and thus contribute to a more reflexive

For cities growing in conditions of extreme heat and aridity, adapting their building stock to reflect these environmental challenges demands a social as well as technical shift. Aqaba in southern Jordan is embarking on this process. Extremely poor building thermal performance coupled with a lack of public understanding of basic energy principles is contributing to social and economic stress in Aq

Purpose: Corporate brands increasingly use influential, high reach human brands (e.g. influencers, celebrities), who have strong parasocial relationships with their followers and audiences, to promote their offerings. However, despite emerging understanding of the benefits arising from human brand-based campaigns, knowledge about their potentially negative effects on the corporate brand remains li

Exploring a wide variety of visualizations of pregnancy and fetuses through 300 years of history, this timely volume offers a fresh look at the influential feminist concept of the "public fetus."Images of pregnant and fetal bodies are today visible everywhere. Through ultrasound screenings at maternity clinics, birth videos on social media platforms, or antiabortion propaganda, visualizations of p

Abstract in UndeterminedTRIPS is a trade-off between the interest of the developed world in having its technology respected and the need for technology transfer especially to the least-developed countries. But this balance of interests is poorly expressed in the Agreement, which is primarily devoted to protection of intellectual property rights and only marginally addresses the other side of the c

Decision trees constructed by ID3-like algorithms suffer from an inability of detecting instances of categories not present in the set of training examples, i.e., they are discriminative representations. Instead, such instances are assigned to one of the classes actually present in the training set, resulting in undesired misclassifications. Two methods of reducing this problem by learning charact

Given the polarized political context in Peru that was provoked by the inclusion of LGTBIQ+ identities in the official school curriculum, this study analyzes the meanings that students of pedagogy in Lima ascribe to tolerance and respect towards gay and lesbian people, and how these meanings inform their pedagogical practices. Based on two focus groups and eight individual interviews grounded in s

As global average temperatures are rising, the populist radical right party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) has ramped up its anti-climate but pro environmental protection politics. As this focus is nascent, the question of how and for whom does the political ecology of the AfD articulates meaning has yet received little attention. My analysis of seven semi-structured interviews with party membe

This study investigates how representatives from the Swedish Social Service and the Sweden City missions describe their responsibility concerning long-term housing for families in structural homelessness. The aim is also to have the representatives’ perspectives on how the situation for the target group can be improved. Even though the research concerning structural homelessness is well examined,

Popular Abstract in Swedish Komplementsystemet utgör en del av den medfödda immuniteten och är viktigt i försvaret mot angripande mikroorganismer. Ärftlig C2-brist (C2D) är en av de vanligaste bristerna inom komplementsystemet och förekommer i en frekvens av 1: 20 000 hos personer med västerländsk härstamning. I de aktuella undersökningarna har mer än 40 personer med C2D identifierats och observerThe complement system is a part of the innate immunity and is essential in the defence against microorganisms. Hereditary C2 deficiency (C2D) is one of the most common complement deficiency states with an estimated prevalence of 1:20,000 in persons of Western descent. In the present investigation, the identification of more than 40 C2D persons at a single centre combined with long observation peri

He was a physician, a scientist and a university vice chancellor. Kilian Stobaeus was the man whose donations formed the foundation for several University departments and museums, and the collection grew intensively over the next century. The Stobaeus Project aims to shed light on his life and achievements. Kilian Stobaeus was born on 6 February, 1690 in Vinslöv in southern Sweden to a well-educat

The M protein family of molecules in the group A streptococcus comprises a number of cell surface proteins that interact with the immune system of the host. One of the proteins in this family is the IgA receptor Arp4, which has C repeats similar to those that characterize the known M proteins. The streptococcal strain expressing Arp4 also expresses a second immunoglobulin-binding protein, Mrp4, wh

Ash is produced in combustion of biomass. Sonic part of this matter is called fly ash and is carried by the flow and causes not only air pollution and erosion, but also call affect the thermal radiation. The effects of fly ash particles oil the thermal radiation are considered ill this investigation. By analyzing sampled data in all electrostatic filter, a realistic particle size distribution is f

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur gör bakterier för att komma undan immunförsvaret? Vi har studerat hur en vanligt förekommande bakterie, grupp A streptokocker, gör för att undvika kroppens immunförsvar vid infektion. Vi har upptäckt enzymer som bidrar till bakteriens förmåga att undvika immunförsvaret genom att avväpna antikroppar. De bakteriella enzymerna kan användas i bioteknisk industri och eveA majority of the proteins of the immune system are glycosylated and the glycans of IgG are essential for its functionality. Bacteria display enzymes that modulate the glycans of the immune system to weaken the host defense and favor bacterial survival. In this thesis we aimed at exploring bacterial modulation of host glycosylation in infection and to evaluate the usefulness of bacterial enzymes i
