Training a managerial elite able to conduct business efficiently on the global market is unanimously presented as of utmost importance for success in today's globalized economy. The aim of the chapter is to analyse, whith a broadly postcolonial sensibility, the discourses on culture found in some well-known books that 1) claim to emphasize the cultural factor, and 2) present themselves as "interna

Popular Abstract in Swedish Lunds strängfragmenteringsmodell beskriver hur färgade partiklar (kvarkar och gluoner, tillsammans kallade partoner) som produceras vid högenergetisk partikelkollisioner omvandlas till färgneutrala hadroner. Denna avhandling utvecklar och utforskar ett alternativt tillvägagångssätt till modellen. Den nya infallsvinkeln förbättrar modellen för system som består av många The Lund string fagmentation model was reformulated as a process along the boundary curve of the string called the directrix, in order to treat multigluon strings according to the Lund model area law. It was found that the hadrons in the final state could be collected into several groups, in such a way that the energy-momenta of the hadrons in a group lie in a plane in the Minkowski space within s

Popular Abstract in Swedish MEKANISMER BAKOM VÄVNADSSVULLNAD MED INRIKTNING MOT DEN SKADADE HJÄRNAN. EN STUDIE PÅ SÖVD KATT. Störningar i vätskeflöden över ett organs minsta kärl, de s.k. kapillärerna, kan ge problem i form av vävnadssvullnad. Det är speciellt allvarligt när det sker i hjärnan eftersom hjärnan är innesluten i ett hårt skal och därför inte kan utvidga sig utan att trycket samtidigThis study evaluated transcapillary fluid exchange in the cat brain and in a cat skeletal muscle enclosed in a plethysmograph. A method for determination of capillary permeability (capillary filtration coefficient and reflection coefficient) and effects of transcapillary hydrostatic pressure changes were studied We found that capillary fluid permeability in a tissue can be determined by the capill

The influence of a barrier on the acoustic field is investigated using an expansion of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. Large Eddy Simulations (LES) is used to account for the acoustical sources and the equation for the acoustic density fluctuation accounts for the propagation of the acoustics waves. This combined approach enhances numerical efficiency while maintaining good accuracy. The

A low phase noise 2.4 GHz voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) with 1 V supply is presented. The VCO is based on the differential negative resistance oscillator with the tail current source replaced by an inductor. The inductor both improves the noise factor of the oscillator and enables maximum voltage swing over the tank. The amplitude limitation which is usually set by the tail current source is

The paper extends the Inequality Possibility Frontier (IPF) approach introduced by Milanovic, Lindert and Williamson (2011) in two methodological directions. It allows the social minimum to increase with the average income of a society, and it derives all the IPF statistics for two other inequality measures than the Gini. Finally, it applies the framework to contemporary data showing that the ineq

Packaging is a fundamental element in logistics systems. It not only affects every logistical activity; it also has a significant impact on logistics costs and performance. In order for packaging and logistics professionals to gain insight into packaging-dependent costs and performance, the interactions between packaging systems and logistics systems must be understood. The presented research prov

In Southern Sweden, production of renewable energy from crop residues digestion is viewed as a worthwhile alternative. Also, the process gives valuable mineralised nitrogen as a by-product, which when produced at farm-scale can be recycled for ecological farming. It is difficult to achieve economic utilisation of crop residues in centralised slurry digestion, mainly because of the greater transpor

Massmedia sometimes report on quarrels, riots or violent escapes in prisons. This book takes the reader behind the headlines in order to present interviewed inmates' and staff members own descriptions and reflections on "jail quarrels". The author shows how the enforced intimacy of modern prisons creates peculiar patterns of both 'fighting mood' and its opposite: containment or 'prison stillness'.

There is much tension between the conception of the press as a private enterprise subject to the logic of the market and the press as an instrument of democracy. One of the broken promises of democracy is the failure of the market in guaranteeing a vigorous political debate. The European Court of Human Rights has ascribed to the press the vital role of Public Watchdog, making it incumbent on it to
