Normal science is a characterization of science in our epoch and a demarcation of what “scientific” means. It divides science in disciplined/normed paradigms. Mathematical epidemiology is the paradigm that regulates the activity of mathematicians with respect to the study of epidemics. It also represents the interest (multiple meanings implied) of the community that guards it. In contrast, a real

Place branding is defined as “the development of brands for geographic locationswith the aim of triggering positive associations about the area and distinguishinga place from other places” (Stevens et al., 2020, p. 752). Like all occupations,place branding is organised by discourses, or talk, that determine best practices andnorms about what constitutes expertise (Loacker and Sullivan, 2016). Expl

We introduce the notion of a-walk S(n) = a1X1 +… + anXn, based on a sequence of positive numbers a = (a1, a2,…) and a Rademacher sequence X1,X2,…. We study recurrence/ transience (properly defined) of such walks for various sequences of a.

This interview focuses on a spectrum of urgent challenges facing marginalized human and other-than-human communities, including the intersecting crises of global anthropogenic climate disruption and state and institutional racist violence. We discuss and consider the opportunities, limits, and contradictions of pursuing transformative, intersectional political change and scholarship through effort

In Vitaby parish are the ruins of a castle built around 1200 and deserted before 1300. An excavation was made in 1911 and again by the author in 2001 and 2002. The construction i unique in Europe with a support wall for the shellkeep 5,5 meters high, going all through the motte down to the peat. The castle was probably owned by the family Galen

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att få en bättre kunskap om hur en kundvärdesorienterad affärsidé och strategi realiseras inom en multinationell verkstadskoncern, hur olika personer inom koncernen tolkar begreppet kundvärde och vilka de primära drivkrafter antas vara som lett valet av en kundvärdesorienterad strategi. Det är också att undersöka vilken roll IS/IT, enligt våra informanter, har haft

Syftet med reglerna om offentlig upphandling är att se till att offentliga kontrakt tilldelas på ett öppet, likvärdigt och konkurrensneutralt sätt genom att låta leverantörer konkurrera om kontrakten. Ingen leverantör får särbehandlas och all upphandling ska ske affärsmässigt och i konkurrens. All offentlig upphandling finansieras med hjälp av skattemedel, och därför är det viktigt att förfarandetThe purpose of the rules about public procurement is to make sure that public contracts are allocated in an open, equivalent and pre-competitive way by letting suppliers compete over the contracts. No preferential treatment can arise to any supplier and all procurement must occur in commercial and competitive ways. All public procurement is funded trough taxes, therefore it is important that the p

Sedan Internationella brottmålsdomstolen uppfördes och började utöva sin dömande verksamhet 2002 har domstolen haft jurisdiktion över krigsförbrytelser, brott mot mänskligheten och folkmord. I Romstadgan fanns redan från start även aggressionsbrottet upptaget, alltså brottet att inleda otillåtligt krig. Parterna lyckades dock inte enas om en definition av aggression och därför begränsades domstoleSince the International Criminal Court began to exercise their jurisdiction in 2002, the Court has been able to judge individuals over war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. The crime of aggression, i.e. the crime of illegal use of force in international relations, was also listed as one of the crimes under the Court’s jurisdiction. But due to the fact that the State Parties could not a

This thesis aims to investigate the dynamics of the so-called “leverage-effect”. This asymmetry in volatility after negative shocks, relative to positive shocks has been documented extensively before. However, except for findings that it is not due to leverage, the underlying or enhancing factors that cause it have not been investigated. This thesis aims to do so, by testing for the influence of f

Dynamic pricing is a pricing strategy where prices are no longer fixed or constant. Instead, they are continuously readjusted according to perceived demand and factors that influence the desirability of the product. It is in passenger transport where it has one of its biggest applications, in order to increase profits and maximize the use of limited capacity. While extensively studied for its econ

It is known that underpricing is a widely researched topic worldwide by many different aspects, having instigated studies over the last decades to find reasons in order to explain this phenomenon. However, its relation with banks’ commission fees is still a little explored field, possibly due to the lack of data available to test for this hypothesis. This context raises the following research ques

Regulatory competition is a competitive process through which the jurisdictionss within a decentralized area develops and adapts to the market demands of that area. EU’s Single market is such decentralized area in the field of company legislation. Any EU citizen may establish a company in any Member State and as a consequence a race between the different national jurisdictions in the EU can emerge

This study explores the implications of an encampment policy - criminalising refugees’ mobility beyond the borders of a camp - for the potential of Cash Based Transfer assistance in protracted refugee situations. As the success of Cash Based Transfer assistance implies market availability and access to commodities, and certain interaction between the host community and refugee population, it is ar

Climate refugees are becoming increasingly common due to increased global warming as a result of excess emissions, the vast majority of which come from the Global North. The aim of this thesis is to examine how the climate refugee issue is described in Swedish media against a backdrop of a potential conflict between a Swedish self-image as progressive in humanitarian matters, and the recent strict

Lojalitetsplikten i kommersiella avtalsförhållanden kan definieras som skyl-digheten för parterna i relationen att tillvarata motpartens intressen utöver sina egna. Lojalitetsplikten kan härledas långt tillbaka i historien men det är först under 1900-talets andra hälft som saker började hända och denna utveckling tog rejäl fart under de senaste ca 20 åren. Lojal samverkan mellan parterna står iblaThe principle of loyalty in commercial relations can be defined as an obliga-tion for the parties to safeguard the other party’s interests in addition to their own. The principle of loyalty can be derived far back in history, but it was only during the second half of the 20th century that things started to happen, and this progress took off in the last 20 or so years. Loyal collaboration be-tween
