Accommodation businesses are increasingly dependent on a limited number of reservation platforms. A significant feature of these platforms is guest evaluations, which are transformed into ratings and rankings.

In this paper, we will present some of our findings from a study conducted on legislative measures related to the online infringement of intellectual property rights commissioned by the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) on legislative measures related to online intellectual property rights infringements.

People vary genetically in their susceptibility to the effects of environmental risk factors for many diseases. Genetic variation also underlies the extent to which people respond appropriately to clinical therapies. Defining the basis to the interactions between the genome and the environment may help elucidate the biologic basis to diseases such as type 2 diabetes, as well as help target prevent

The objective of this study is to determine whether individual municipal employees, who have the responsibility for preparedness planning, reason and act in ways that promote learning about crises and pr

Occupations divide the labor market into separate repositories of skill, where labor market frictions hinder employee mobility between occupations. Such frictions shape the supply of skill, the wage structure of each occupation, and the occupation-specific opportunity cost and marginal utility of self-employment entry. We investigate why self-employment entry is dependent on occupation, using 7 ye
In this presentation, I discuss critical friend sessions (see Handal 1999), performed during autumn 2014 and spring 2015, and focusing on lecturers educating the same group of teacher students. The aim was to investigate whether or not one could find traces of didactics in their teaching, since a didactic dimension is necessary when educating students at a teacher education program. The lecturers
There has been much recent interest in how to help students in higher education develop their generic skills, especially since this is a focus of the Bologna process that aims to standardize European higher education. However, even though the Master thesis is the final and often crucial part of a graduate degree and requires many generic skills very little research has directly focused on them.
