Along with an increasingly globalized business environment and a strongly held corporate belief that the world can be rationally managed, the last two decades have witnessed a growing demand for normative models dealing with cross-cultural management issues. This trend has allowed cross-cultural management to establish itself as a significant research field, with much of the initial inspiration co
In this paper, we take moral agency to be that context in which a particular agent can, appropriately, be held responsible for her actions and their consequences. In order to understand moral agency, we will discuss what it would take for an artifact to be a moral agent. For reasons that will become clear over the course of the paper, we take the artifactual question to be a useful way into discus
This paper deals with a single-echelon inventory system consisting of a number of parallel local warehouses facing compound Poisson demand. There are standard holding and backorder costs as well as ordering costs at all warehouses. Normally, the warehouses replenish from an outside supplier. However, lateral transshipments between the warehouses are also possible. Such transshipments take no time
The aim of this study was to evaluate thermo-thresholds in autologous reconstructed microtic ears. Nineteen patients with unilateral microtia were investigated no less than two years after the last operation (3.6+/-1.7 years). Their normal corresponding ear acted as controls. Eight healthy children were also investigated to illustrate technical differences between measuring the two sides. Thermal
Sedan tillkomsten av den nuvarande rättegångsbalken på 1940-talet har utgångspunkten i svensk rätt varit att bevisprövningen ska vara fri och inte styrd av legala normer. Detta hindrade emellertid inte lagstiftaren från att i förarbetena ställa upp krav på att bevisprövningen skulle vara objektiv och analytisk. Som en följd därav utvecklades ett antal bevisprövningsmetoder i den juridiska doktrineSince the creation of the present Code of Judicial Procedure in the 1940s the basis in Swedish law has been a free sifting of evidence, which is not governed by legal norms. This, however, did not prevent the legislator from demanding in the preparatory works that the sifting of evidence should be objective and analytical. As a consequence thereof, a number of methods for sifting the evidence deve
Ett medlemskap i EU innebär långtgående rättsliga konsekvenser på nationell nivå. Medlemsstaternas suveränitet är emellertid fortfarande relativt oinskränkt på den direkta beskattningens område, vilket följer av att unionen saknar befogenhet på området och medlemsstaterna således åtnjuter exklusiv kompentens. Medlemsstaterna kan fritt utforma sina skattesystem, men den nationella beskattningsrätteAn EU accession involves far-reaching legal consequences on a national level. Nevertheless, the sovereignty of the member states has remained relatively unrestricted in the area of direct taxation. The Union has no remit of competence in the area and the Member States therefore enjoy exclusive competence when it comes to direct taxation. The Member states maintain the right to design their own tax
The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm has been widely used in the Digital Signal Processing industry as a rudimentary operation to select the specific frequency components of a signal, which has been involved with other time domain signals. In order to fulfill the requirements of executing precise calculations and less power & area consumption, an algorithm with less number of adders and
This report summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of organic and conventional farming from an environmental and sustainable perspective. A sustainable agriculture system needs to be able to meet a higher demand for food due to a growing population and minimize the damage of the environment at the same time. The main critic to the organic farming system is that it produces lower yields than
The aim of this sociological study is to explore and to understand mechanisms of power being embedded in daily procedures of detention establishment with the focus on the case officers’ work tasks. In the study the emic approach is being used in order to understand from within power at detention. Observations, field notes, interviews and written documents constitute the empirical material being co
During the last decade, an increasing number of technological developments have occurred that utilise surveillance for functionality. Much of modern means of communication and socialising now firmly rest on surveillance technology. Whereas most scholarly work aims to interpret the effects of surveillance on individuals through an aggregated perspective, this thesis explores a more grounded approac
Despite the many use cases for machine learning, it sees minimal usage in Sweden’s public sector today. It is important that the public sector in particular utilizes the most efficient tools available. For this reason, the Department of Employment and Social Services in Malmö has started a project to explore the viability of introducing machine learning to their work. This thesis corresponds to ro
Dark matter has an important role in our Universe, especially in galaxy formation and evolution, but there are many theoretical models that attempt to describe it and to find out which one, if any, are correct we must test them. Testing a theoretical model of this nature at a galactic scale must and has been done using computational methods through simulations, but this has revealed more complicat
Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka och klargöra gällande rätt i fråga om styrelseledamöters möjlighet att ta upp sina arvoden till beskattning i bolag. Därutöver ämnar uppsatsen även att sätta reglerna om styrelseledamotsbeskattning i bolag i ett bredare sammanhang. För att uppnå detta syfte kommer uppsatsen att behandla relevant svensk lagstiftning, samt att se till hur denna har tolkats i e
In the wake of Russia’s escalation of the invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, Swedish politics seemed to suddenly change stance in regards to its participation in the military alliance Nato. Polls on the matter were seemingly flipped on their head. This paper aims to investigate how this came to pass through a constructivist lens about how a country with such deep historical, and cultural roots in
This thesis will explore Roman religion of the imperial time from 29 BCE until the 370’s CE as an alternative lens to enhance the academic discourse on political religion. As a case study, Marxism-Leninism which was the guiding ideology of the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) will be analysed. According to Emilio Gentile, a political religion is characterised by six criteria. It shall be (1
During the last three decades, there has been a growing interest in the role of Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) as engines of economic development and pro-poor growth. In Bolivia, MSEs are the main source of employment but have alarmingly low levels of productivity. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to seek for an explanation of the relevance of MSEs´ growth in the Bolivian context as we
