Following Kosovo’s issuance of a unilateral declaration of independence in 2008, the UN General Assembly requested the International Court of Justice to pronounce itself on the accordance with international law of the declaration of independence. The Court’s answer to that request was that the declaration of independence was not in violation of international law. When the Court rephrased the quest
A global and still expanding leader in the home furnishing industry, IKEA, with its head office for development of the product range in Swedish Älmhult, wants to reach out to as many customers as possible. Cost efficiency has always been a driver, but in recent years an initiative on product availability has been launched, aiming to increase customer satisfaction. Kitchen and Dining is a Business
Our study revealed that switching the classic IMS process to idea generation, development and lastly evaluation has a strong positive impact on spurring motivation. If the outlined steps are followed and key features, such as the introduction of a cross-functional team, reliance on organizational learning and a network connectivity solution for facilitating the entire process, are integrated then
En av de mest grundläggande bestämmelserna inom internationell rätt är våldsförbudet mellan stater och den vilar på en konstruktion som skapades på 1900-talet efter erfarenheter av två världskrig. Den främjar en stark statskoncentration med fokus på staters suveränitet. Övervägande del av dagens väpnade konflikter är interna och inte mellan stater som det var förr. Det har satt press på aktörernOne of the most fundamental provisions of international law is the prohibition of use of force between states and it rests on a construction created in the 20th century after experiences of two world wars. It affirms a strong government concentration focusing on the sovereignty of states. Most of today’s armed conflicts are domestic and not between states as it used to be. It has put pressure on
The advantages of performing neutron-tagging measurements using a waveform digitizer are explored. An existing analog setup consisting of modular crate electronics at the Source-Testing Facility at the Division of Nuclear Physics in Lund, Sweden has been digitally replicated. Neutrons are detected using an organic liquid-scintillator detector while the corresponding 4.44 MeV gamma-rays are detecte
The aim of this thesis is to survey and map out what it means to believe in unexplainable phenomena, that is phenomena not scientifically explained, in a secular late modern society. The study is explorative and used methods are five focus group interviews supplemented with a questionnaire, performed in southwest of Sweden. Used theories in the inductive analysis to explain belief in unexplainable
Businesses are increasingly attracted to Emerging Markets due to the potential of increased demand for goods and services, driven mostly by macroeconomic trends in the external business environment. However, the business model approach for emerging markets differs from the one for developed markets as they are faced with a different set of demand and supply conditions. The purpose of this study is
Reduced growth rates in saturated developed economies have put increasing pressure on multinational companies (MNCs) to expand to rapidly developing emerging markets and capitalize on their value potential. Yet, this value potential comes with several challenges which are very different from what firms experience in developed countries, especially with regards to the bottom of the pyramid. The Tra
Tänk dig att du har en tung elastiskt stång som hänger ner från ett fäste i taket och töjs ut, dels på grund av sin egentyngd och dels på grund av en extra tyngd som är fastsatt i botten av stången. Det skulle till exempel kunna vara ett rör som går från en oljerigg (taket) ner mot havets botten där en borr är fastsatt (tyngden). Vi kan styra hur mycket stången kommer töjas genom att justera tvärsWe study the problem first introduced by Verma and Keller in 1984 of how to taper a heavy rope such that its elongation is minimized. The problem is stated as an optimization problem of a functional J[w]. Specifically we provide a proof of optimality for the solution using traditional convex optimization techniques. We also utilize the Legendre transformation when studying the Euler–Lagrange equat
This study aims to research how honour is explained and defined by social workers and thus increase the knowledge about the concept itself, and the negative consequences it can have on an individuals’ life. By interviewing (both in a group interview, and in a one-on-one interview) professionals who daily are coming into contact with honour codes and context, and letting them give their view on the
Today the majority of critical scholars regard Paul’s Epistle to the Ephesians to be a pseudepigraphical writing authored by an early disciple of the apostle Paul. A puzzle that has yet to be solved, however, is what the historical setting of the production of this fictional letter might be. Another way of the stating the issue is, what would cause a first century disciple of Paul to write this do
The health of the environment is not a pressing issue for many, or if it is, this concern is not always reflected in their behavior. How can greater pro-environmental behavior be encouraged in individuals? This study seeks to understand if an active learning experience can be used as a tool to enhance pro-environmental behavior. The volunteer-exchange program called World Wide Opportunities on Org
The failing firm doctrine (FFD) has been firstly enounced 1921 in case International Shoe Co v FTC. The key case in EU is Kali where the Commission has discussed the concept of FFD in depth. The Commission has established that FFD is not the rule but the exception from the rule that horizontal mergers are harmful for the competition. The binding Acts in the field of Merger Control are EU Regulatio
Background: In order to diagnose children with ADHD, the DSM-IV measures inattention (IA) and hyperactivity/impulsivity (HI) behavior in the context of significant impairment social and academic function. In order to diagnose, symptoms must be present in two different setting, which is commonly established in terms of home and school behaviors with the help of parent and teacher reports. Previous
Depth map cameras provide new ways of designing surveillance systems. In this thesis we evaluate three different cameras from two different depth sensor techniques, and propose a complete method for detecting thefts over a counter in a retail environment. Our algorithm covers pre-processing with noise reduction and background segmentation using the reflected signals amplitude as a confidence measu
När den Europeiska ekonomiska gemenskapen bildades genom Romfördraget fanns inga uttryckliga hänvisningar till skyddet för de grundläggande rättigheterna. Den här uppsatsen beskriver framväxten av regelverket för de grundläggande rättigheter som har utvecklats av EU:s rättsväsende och lagstiftare i nära samarbete med medlemsstaterna och Europarådet. Målet med denna framställning är att presentera The Treaty of Rome which established the European Economic Community contained no explicit references to the protection of fundamental rights. This thesis describes the emergence of an EU acquis covering the field of fundamental rights developed by the EU judiciary and legislators in close cooperation with the Member States and the Council of Europe. The objective of this essay is to present the a
Denna uppsats huvudsyfte är att beskriva och analysera vilka faktorer som är avgörande för hur anställda mottar förändringsprocesser till följd av förvärv, samt hur ledningen kan påverka dessa faktorer för att få medarbetarna att arbeta som medkrafter till förändringarna. Syftet är även att utifrån analys av teori och empiri att bidra med ett framställt teoretiskt ramverk. Undersökningen har gjort
Purpose: The main purpose of our research is to create interesting theoretical and practical insights rather than developing empirical generalisations about the experiences of employees from Prestige Consulting and BigTech regarding the merger and subsequent integration of the two organisations. Methodology (Empirical Foundation): The research is based on an empirically driven case study within th
