Underlining the too widespread underestimation of cultural differences by managers, international management literature problematizes culture as a critical factor for global competitiveness. Evidence from recent critical research (e.g. Westwood 2006) has shown that many of the main works within cross-cultural management (especially Hofstede 1980) and more broadly international management can be se

This paper describes an 8-Bit, 100-MHz current steering CMOS low glitch interpolation digital to analog converter (DAC). It includes a 16-tap voltage controlled delay line and 8-Bit based linear interpolators, making the effective clock rate up to 1.6-GHz. With the linear interpolation, the requirement on the analog reconstruction filter is relaxed, and low glitch digital to analog conversion is a

Before the rise of professional ethnography, untrained methods to investigate ‘other’ cultures prevailed among various Westerns actors: travelers, missionaries, colonial administrators, and traders. This article analyzes how such informal ethnography is still treated as an epistemic guide in a post-colonial and transnational business world. A particular case is examined: Swedish and Swedish-Polish

Stock return volatility is very high in the biotech industry opposed to other industries and there is limited explanation as to why. Biotech companies invest large amounts of money on research and development to move drugs forward in the clinical trial phases, to get market approval by the regulatory agency FDA. The drug discovery and development process is long and expensive, taking on average 12

This thesis aims to analyze arguments made for and against introducing transnational lists in the European Parliament elections. The focus will lie in understanding the arguments made in terms of relevance and performance, with aspects such as political affiliations being regarded as well. The chosen material are speeches from a debate in the Parliament in 2018 regarding a suggestion of implementi

Bakgrund: Lek är en grundläggande aktivitet och en mänsklig rättighet. Genom att delta i lek tillägnar sig barn nya erfarenheter vilket leder till utveckling. Lekplatsers unika miljö möjliggör barns utveckling men för barn med funktionsnedsättning kan denna miljö innebära utmaningar av fysisk, social eller kognitiv karaktär. Syfte: Studiens syfte var att kartlägga hur miljön på offentliga lekplat

När en organisation väljer mellan att hyra eller äga lokaler finns det för- och nackdelar med båda alternativen. Väljer organisationen att gå en slags mellanväg genom att hyra lokaler via ett triple net upplägg står de inför utmaningar unika för den sortens upplägg. Denna rapport har som syfte att ta reda på hur företag kan dra fördel av triple net-avtal samt vilka förutsättningarna för detta äWhen organizations choose between leasing and owning facilities there are benefits and drawbacks associated with both alternatives. If an organisation proceeds with a middle ground solution by leasing using a triple net lease, they will instead face challenges unique for that lease type. The aim of this thesis is to find out how companies can take advantage of triple net leases and what the requ

The aim of this study was to examine how social workers in civil society experience their work, by using organizational theories. In addition the aim was to study how social workers in civil society look at their role as social workers, with the terms professional identity and professional role. The method that was used was qualitative and semistructured interviews with five social workers that wo

This paper is about creating identity based on music making as a leisure activity. The questions asked are about how cultural practicing at leisure contributes to the creation of identity, how the roles and self-image is affected by the exercise, if everyone has the dream of making a living on their music still and if one can learn anything beyond the expected by his/hers leisure activity. The pap

UV irradiation is getting increasingly popular as a disinfection step in drinking water production. Ringsjöverket, a drinking water treatment plant in Sweden installed a full-scale UV aggregate in December 2016. However, the effect of UV irradiation on drinking water has mainly been tested on specific pathogens in labscale environment. Heterotrophic plate counts are often used when analyzing drink

Syftet med denna studie var att utifrån en hermeneutisk ansats tolka och förstå tjejer på behandlingshem, deras upplevelser av motivation och skola, då skolan har stor betydelse för motivation och hur denna skapas och formas (Davidsson & Flato, 2010). Ett bekvämlighetsurval användes för att välja behandlingshem och tjejernas medverkan i studien utgjordes av ett strategiskt urval. SemistruktureThe purpose of this study was to interpret and understand girls at treatment homes, their experiences of motivation and school, as the school is of great importance for motivation and how it is created and shaped (Davidsson & Flato, 2010). To interpret this, the study used a hermeneutic approach. A convenience sample was used to select treatment homes and the girls participating in the study w

In this work we compare channel estimation algorithms for use in an iterative CDMA receiver in a block fading environment. The receiver consists of a soft multiuser data estimator, a bank of single user decoders, and a multiuser channel estimator. The multiuser data estimator is implemented as parallel interference canceler with unconditional post-MMSE filtering (PIC-MMSE) and the decoder is a sof

The paper describes a novel method for self tuning cylinder pressure based heat release computation that is suitable for online usage in e.g. combustion phasing control applications. The method estimates the polytropic exponents and cylinder pressure offsets immediately preceding and succeeding the combustion event respectively using a fast nonlinear least squares method. The polytropic exponent a
