AbstractOrganizational routines that are critical to learning, flexibility, and adaptation explain the behavior of the business organization. When organizational routines cross the boundary of the organization, variability and stability are affected. This study emphasizes organizational routines committed in specific outsourcing or insourcing situations to clarify the dynamics of organizational roOrganizational routines that are critical to learning, flexibility, and adaptation explain the behaviour of the business organization.

The field of radial turbines is wide and radial turbines of today find applications inareas as diverse as small gas turbines; turbochargers for cars, buses, and trucks, railwaylocomotives, and diesel power generators; cryogenic and process expanders; rocket engineturbopumps; and specialty steam turbines, [12]. The three-dimensional flow inside aradial turbine is complex and ever since the radial t

This thesis concerns the law/fact distinction in law. The interest it takes in the distinction is not practical, but conceptual. It more specifically concerns the questions: “What is it that is conceptually assumed about something when it is categorized as ‘of law’ or ‘of fact’?” and “What is conceptually assumed about the law when law is distinguished from fact by the use of the law/fact distinctThis thesis concerns the law/fact distinction in law.

This thesis examines so-called pancake sentences, an agreement anomaly found in Swedish, Danish and Norwegian. In these languages, predicative adjectives typically agree with their subjects in number and grammatical gender. However, with certain subjects the predicative takes a t-form, corresponding to singular neuter, regardless of the number and gender of the subject.

Higher music education (HME) in Europe is multifaceted due to the great variety of legal frameworks, conservatory histories and practices. However, following the Bologna declaration in 1999, traditional conservatories are gradually transforming into research-based institutions, which means combining advanced performer training with artistic research.

The essay aims at decoding the 1954 novel The Sound of Waves in relation to Mishima’s biography, political and aesthetic theory, arguing that his most serene artistic achievement is, in the end, a desperate self-deluding for various inner contradictions. In a minute hermeneutic approach the article identifies and interprets such defining issues as: suicide, loneliness, individualism, egoism, mater

Measuring innovation is a challenging but essential task to improve business performance. To tackle this task, key performance indicators (KPIs) can be used to measure and monitor innovation. The objective of this study is to explore how KPIs, designed for measuring innovation, are used in practice. To achieve this objective, the author draws upon literature on business performance in accounting a

Through an argumentation analysis can one show how it is feasible to view a narrative religious text such as the Gospel of Matthew as a literary argument. The Gospel is not just “good news” but an elaborate argument for the standpoint that Jesus is the Son of God, the Messiah. It is shown why an argumentation analysis needs to be supplemented with a pragmatic literary analysis in order to describe

Ljus består av elektromagnetiska vågor som pulserar genom universum med olika frekvenser. Vanligt ljus, som det som kommer från solen och från våra lampor, innehåller ett spektrum av många olika frekvenser. De olika vågornas toppar och dalar svänger inte heller i takt, utan är förskjutna i förhållande till varandra. I laserljus däremot, svänger alla vågor samtidigt upp och ner och med samma frekveThis thesis adresses modeling of quantum cascade lasers using non-equilibrium Green’s functions. Focus lies on the quantitative modeling of the gain when the systems are exposed to strong laser fields, as under realistic opertional conditions. In the first part, an introduction to the general concepts is provided, together with a discussion on approximate analytic expressions. The second part cons

Ecological impacts of urbanization include the loss of biodiversity and changes in species composition and population densities. However, how the urban environment affects fundamental physiological parameters is largely unknown. Here, we investigated physiological components related to health and nutrition, namely, plasma fatty acids (FA) and lipid peroxidation at inter-habitat and interspecific lEcological impacts of urbanization include the loss of biodiversity and changes in species composition and population densities.

Facial beat gestures align with pitch accents in speech, functioning as visual prominence markers. However, it is not yet well understood whether and how gestures and pitch accents might be combined to create different types of multimodal prominence, and how specifically visual prominence cues are used in spoken communication.

This thesis contains four empirical macroeconomic studies and the papers may briefly be summarized as follows. In the first paper, we use both descriptive statistics and regression analysis to investigate whether movements in real exchange rates and money supply before and during fiscal contractions matter for the macroeconomic outcome. First we define fiscal contraction. Second, we label the cont

Underlaget för denna undersökning är den intensiva debatt som blommade ut i bland annat svensk media efter att ett hundratal kvinnor blivit sexuellt antastade under nyårsfirandet i Köln natten mellan 2015-2016. Debatten kretsade i stora drag kring huruvida övergreppen bör förstås som ett kulturellt utspel, då det framgick att gärningsmännen alla hade ursprung i Mellanöstern och Nordafrika, eller h

Bakgrund: En kateterrelaterad UVI kan leda till obehag och lidande, en längre sjukhusvistelse och risk för komplikationer i form av ytterligare infektioner. Patienter som opereras för höftfraktur ska enligt nationella riktlinjer behandlas med Catheter à Demeure (KAD). Det är viktigt att avsluta behandlingen direkt när behovet har upphört, för att minska risken för kateterrelaterad UVI. Syfte: Syft

Bakgrund: Enligt Socialstyrelsen finns det omkring 34 000 hemlösa personer i Sverige. Att förlora sitt hem kan för många ge en känsla av att en bit av ens livshistoria och identitet skalas bort. Syftet med studien var att beskriva tillgänglig litteratur inom arbetsterapi och aktivitetsvetenskap med avseende på hemlöshet. Metod: Författarna valde scoping-metoden för att genomföra studien.

When it comes to absorbing and emitting radiation, molecules show similar properties as atoms do. A signicant dierence though, is that a molecular spectrum consists of notably more absorption lines compared to an atomic spectrum. The additional lines appear due to the fact that molecules can not only exist in electronic, but also in vibrational and rotational energy states. Each gas has uniquely d

Det som uppsatsen avser att undersöka är bolags samhällsansvar i ljuset av deras erläggande av skatt och om det är möjligt att implementera CSR i bolagsskatten. De bolag som uppsatsen främst kommer att behandla är aktiebolag främst på grund av att några av de största bolagen i Sverige är börsnoterade aktiebolag, och termen kommer således att genomgående vara bolag. Det finns idag en rad sätt för This thesis intent is to examine corporation’s social responsibility in the light of their payment of taxes and if it is possible to incorporate CSR in corporate taxes. The corporations that the thesis will focus on are limited companies mainly because a few of the biggest corporations in Sweden are publicly quoted, and the term used will therefore be corporation. Today there is a number of ways

I svenska domstolar utvecklades under en period av över 30 år en påföljds-praxis i narkotikamål som i hög grad avvek från vad som gäller för andra brottstyper. Straffvärdebedömningen inom området styrdes i princip helt och hållet av tabeller grundade på arten och mängden narkotika. En omfattande praxisomläggning ägde rum åren 2011 till 2013. Omläggningen medförde att samtliga relevanta omständigheIn Swedish courts, over a period of more than 30 years, a practice of punishment was developed in drug cases, which largely differed from those of other types of crime. The penal value assessment in the area was basically governed entirely by tables based on the art and amount of drugs. A comprehensive practice review took place between 2011 and 2013. The conclusion was that all relevant circumsta

This essay deals with the constantly relevant topic of the creation of new states. The purpose of the essay is to examine what relevance a recognition has in the creation of a new state. Despite the relevance of the topic in international law, it is a largely unregulated area with two opposing theories proposing different answers to the same problem.
