This article addresses the short-term decay of advecting-diffusing scalar fields in Stokes flows. The analysis is developed in two main subparts. In the first part, we present an analytic approach for a class of simple flow systems expressed mathematically by the one-dimensional advection-diffusion equation w(y)∂ξ=É∂y2+iV(y)-É′, where ξ is either time or axial coordinate and iV(y) an imaginary pot
Nation branding has been criticised for leading to the homogenisation and depoliticisation of national interest and identity. This study examines the politics of nation branding in relation to its configuration with public diplomacy and the institutional policy context in which they are embedded. Informed by Scandinavian institutionalism and the analytical concept of translation, the study reveals
Minimum resale price maintenance (RPM) agreements constitute hard-core vertical restraints and are treated as object restrictions in EU competition law. This article suggests that the time may have come where this approach is revised. After, first, discussing the economic theory behind RPM and the EU court's approach to object restrictions, it argues that the recent widening of the object analysis
This paper briefly recapitulating the Wouters and Meca-Medina decisions, explores the two recent judgments in OTOC and CNG. It argues that the balancing under Art 101(1) TFEU is here to stay and highlights how the recent two judgments have broadened its scope.
The paper analyses the historical development of Article 11 TFEU’s integration obligation and the intentions of Member States when adopting the various amendments to answer the question whether Article 11 TFEU applies across the board or only to certain specific areas of competences. The paper focuses in particular on the amendments of the Amsterdam and Maastricht Treaty as the most important chan
In this paper, we explore the role of documents as influential objectsin strategizing, especially in terms of how they influence strategicrecursiveness. We do not restrict our study to explicitly strategyrelateddocuments (e.g. strategic plans and vision or missionstatements), but include all documents that generally address acompany’s long-term direction. By applying the notions ofauthoritative te
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, but reliable diagnosis and staging can contribute to optimal treatment planning, and is a crucial factor in reducing mortality and maintaining quality of life. Soft tissue mechanical properties are promising indicators of cancer that can be assessed non-invasively using functional imaging. Additionally, lymphatic involvement is considered a k
The paper discusses various representations of collective decisional skill which are useful in the evaluation of decision structures. The recursion formulas we give here and the use of the concepts of majority deficiency as well as majority and unanimity games present expedient approaches in analyzing collective competence. Using the simple majority system as benchmark, applications to certain hie
Purpose– The purpose of this study is to analyse the views stock market actors have on corporate communication of corporate social responsibility (CSR) information grounded on legitimacy and stakeholder theory. Recent findings suggest that management teams experience an increased interest and demand for CSR information from the actors on the stock market and that this underlie a focus shift. This
This study focuses on Seved, a segregated and socioeconomically "poor" neighborhood in the city of Malmö in Sweden. It has attracted wide media coverage, a possible consequence of which is its increased stigmatization. The wide disparity between perceived or imagined fear and the actual incidence of, or exposure to, violence attests to the important role of the media in shaping mental maps and pla
