Out of the traditional conception of Kierkegaard’s philosophy about the autonomous, free, capable and free to develop oneself, I ask the question – in what purpose do God need to incarnate in order to save humanity?

Tidigare forskning visade på att ledarskapsstilarna i CPE-modellen (Change-, Production- & Employee-centered leadership) är olika effektiva. Annan forskning visade att tidigare prestationer har en positiv korrelation till collective efficacy. Sambandet mellan CPE-modellen och collective efficacy inom idrottslag har däremot inte undersökts. Studiens frågeställning var därför att undersöka hur dPrevious research showed that the three leadership styles in the CPE-model (Change-, Production- & Employee-centered leadership) varies in efficiency. Further research showed that prior performances has a positive correlation with collective efficacy. The relationship between the CPE-model and collective efficacy, however has not been researched.

Shear failures in reinforced concrete beams are complex problems that depend on many different mechanisms, such as aggregate interlock and dowel effect. This makes the prediction of shear failures difficult as they are not strictly tied to the material and depend on other factors including the size of the beam. In particular the height of the concrete cross section plays a role in the amount of sh
