This article investigates the reception of Jesus’ command to ‘turn the other cheek’ and ‘love your enemies’, as found in the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5:38–48, among Christian Palestinians. With the help of basic tools from the postcolonial discourse, structures of power, identity and subjectivity of these commands are examined. Although seeming to advocate a quiet acceptance of violence, the
Visibility in production logistics and across the supply chain has become a key concern for organizations. Its need has been further emphasized due to the current COVID 19 crisis. Organizations find it challenging to prepare the internal logistics and supply chain, and quickly respond to such unexpected events, due to low visibility. Against this backdrop, the paper, which is a work-in-progress, s
We investigate how frontline employees manage their emotional experiences of organizational event stigma as an implication of organizational wrongdoing. Our research is based on a longitudinal case study of Danske Bank, which was involved in a money laundering scandal of historical magnitude. We evoke Goffman’s epistemological understanding of stigma as arising in social interactions in all aspect
To date, research on warehouse order-batching has been limited by reliance on rigid assumptions regarding rack layouts. Although efficient optimization algorithms have been provided for conventional warehouse layouts with Manhattan style blocks of racks, they are limited in that they fail to generalize to unconventional layouts. This paper builds on a generalized procedure for digitization of ware
A rate-dependent continuum model for paperboard is developed within a framework for finite strains and finite deformations. A multiplicative split of the deformation gradient into an elastic and an inelastic part is assumed. For the in-plane modes of deformation, viscoelasticity is introduced via a thermodynamically consistent generalization of the Maxwell formulation. The elastic transition betwe
In this paper we study the problem of estimating receiver and sender positions using time-difference-of-arrival measurements. For this, we use a stratified, two-tiered approach. In the first step the problem is converted to a low-rank matrix estimation problem. We present new, efficient solvers for the minimal problems of this low-rank problem. These solvers are used in a hypothesis and test manne
The focus on recovery within psychiatric care is increasing, where peer support may play a pivotal role. Previous research shows both mixed and promising results in terms of beneficial outcomes for patients and peer support workers (PSW). The study’s aim was to investigate PSW’ experiences of their professional role and associated relationships with healthcare staff and patients. Semi-structured i
Dopamine (DA) neurons of the midbrain are at risk to become affected by mitochondrial damage over time and mitochondrial defects have been frequently reported in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. However, the causal contribution of adult-onset mitochondrial dysfunction to PD remains uncertain. Here, we developed a mouse model lacking Mitofusin 2 (MFN2), a key regulator of mitochondrial network ho
Large intelligent surface (LIS) is a technology that extends massive MIMO by considering an even greater number of antennas distributed throughout vast areas. In order to be able to implement this technology, it is crucial to consider decentralized architectures so as to make the whole system scalable. We consider a LIS divided into several LIS panels of smaller size, which can be located far away
