Value Based Management (VBM) has become a common tool for evaluating corporate strategies and projects from the perspective of shareholder value maximization, and can be an important input for corporate compensation systems. But traditional VBM frameworks make no systematic effort to distinguish between changes in performance attributable to macroeconomic fluctuations beyond management's control a

This thesis analyses the development of ethics committees from a sociology of law perspective and a social steerage perspective ("social control"). The main question is: Why are ethics committees established? Institutionalised ethics committee is a rather new phenomenon, which has become widely spread in the last 20 years. The study points out the public ethical debate since the 1980s as a major e

BOOK SYNOPSIS: Throughout the industrialised world trade unionists are reforming their organisations as part of a strategy to adjust to new labour market, economic and political circumstances. This volume examines the role of merger activity in this process of reform. The book identifies the pattern of merger activity, the factors that promote its development and its impact on union structure and

n this paper a new model, tailor-made for nutrient deficient aerobic COD removal, is presented. The Activated Sludge Model No. 1 is chosen as a basis for model development. The original model is extended to include (1) phosphorus state variables; (2) phosphorus and nitrogen limited heterotrophic growth; (3) additional 'luxury' uptake of phosphorus and (4) a separate active biomass component to mod

In English and in Scandinavian, presentational expletive constructions with clause-final subjects can be derived by moving the subject to a Spec position in the C-domain, and then raising the remainder of the clause across the subject to an even higher position. The discourse properties of the clause-final subjects then follow without further stipulations. Moreover, the view that the clause-final

This paper provides an extensive analysis of the demand for alcohol in terms of total quantity and quantity subdivided into frequency and intensity demand. The analysis compares across alcohol types (beer, wine and spirits), alcohol drinking pattern (average drinker vs. binge drinkers) and also how these decisions differ across gender. The analysis is based on a large sample of cross-sectional dat

Various policy instruments and policy reforms are being implemented to encourage Green Growth and Green Economy. However, comprehensive ex-post evaluation policy methods have yet to be developed. The emerging literature shows that there is substantial ambiguity and discrepancy about how to measure the performance of policy instruments driving a Green Economy in general and, in our case, a Green En

Uppsatsen behandlar utbildning och kompetensutveckling på arbetsplatser i Sverige utifrån ett arbetsrättsligt perspektiv. Varken arbetsgivares eller arbetstagares utbildningsansvar är i vidare utsträckning lagreglerat. Rättspraxis visar dock att både arbetsgivare och arbetstagare har ett visst ansvar för kompetensutvecklingen på arbetsplatser. Huvudansvaret får anses ligga på arbetsgivare. Arbetsg

En detaljerad sedimentologisk studie har gjorts på en sektion längs med en moränkulle vid Törnåkra i Småland, södra Sverige. Två sedimentära enheter, enheterna A och B, identifierades baserat på deras sedimentologiska särdrag. Den understa enheten (A) bildades genom vertikal pålagring av gravitationsdrivna sedimentflöden (diamiktona lager), kombinerat med att smältvatten dissaggregerade en stor de

En domstol är skyldig att genom s.k. materiell processledning verka för att ett mål blir tillräckligt utrett. Kravet gäller under hela rättegången och i alla instanser. Mitt syfte med denna uppsats är att fastställa hur långtgående materiell processledning i dispositiva tvistemål bör vara och vilka omständigheter som bör spela in när omfattningen av sådan processledning i enskilda fall bestäms. D

Cinema is an externalised, materialised form of collective memory in which one can find experiences, desires, traumas, ideas, hopes and imaginations of the given society. One can - with the utilisation of the right set of tools and methods - learn a lot about a society by studying its cinema. In this context, this thesis offers a social semiotic analysis of the debut film Otobüs (The Bus, 1974) by

Denna psykologexamensuppsats ingår i ett forskningsprojekt som finansieras av Forskningsrådet för hälsa, arbetsliv och välfärd (FORTE). Den aktuella studiens syfte var att undersöka sambandet mellan arbetsplatsrelaterat ociviliserat beteende och psykisk hälsa. Vidare undersöktes om det för sambandet mellan ociviliserat beteende och psykisk hälsa spelade roll om utövaren var chef eller kollega. Syf
