What makes a headmaster successful? And what does a successful headmaster do? This article presents some results from a research project – Successful school leadership in different school cultures – that aims to provide answers to these questions. The results derive from interviews, questionnaires, observations and pupils’ essays, and comprise the criteria by which different parties involved in sc
Background Low fill rates of goods transportation causes low overall utilization of resources in the logistics sector. The total goods flow is expected to increase and thus CO2-emissions. Rail freight is a low emission alternative to e.g. road haulage. To counter this development, initiatives have been aiming for achieving better efficiencies and promoting rail freight. Information sharing is cons
The study of the naturalization decision process have gained more attention in the field of economics and migration in recent years. This primarily relates to examining whether certain contextual and structural socioeconomic characteristics can explain the probability for immigrants of becoming citizens in their new country. However, there have been little research on this decision process in an h
Abstract: Since the implementation of the European community in the 1950’s support for the integration process was founded on the necessity of establishing an ever-closer Union among the citizens of Europe. There was an overall belief that support for a European community would increase over time as a result of the opportunities it created and the functional pressures that followed. The public su
Introduction: Born globals are increasingly prevalent and very successful in doing business globally, which is quite remarkable when keeping in mind they operate with limited human and financial resources and international business experience. They have to utilise capabilities in a unique way in order to internationalise rapidly and successfully. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to gain insig
To facilitate a transition into a more sustainable economy, the EU Commission has introduced a new regulatory framework in order to redirect capital flows to sustainable projects and activities. The new EU taxonomy (EUT) aims to facilitate these investments into sustainable activities while mitigating the inherent risk of greenwashing within the financial industry. This study will investigate how
Environmental Building Certification (EBC) assessments are often time-consuming and challenging, as they encompass a lengthy process that includes modelling, simulation, proofing, credit calculation, and report writing. Hence, there is a growing need to streamline this process. The objective of this thesis is to examine existing Building Energy Modelling (BEM) workflows and evaluate their abilit
In times of climate change, climate-related disaster displacement is becoming a growing issue. While the vast majority of disaster displaced people move within their country or to a neighbouring country (within a region), there are also people who move between regions and to Europe (interregional). However, there is currently no global legally binding framework that regulates the protection of the
Literature reviews from different countries show that the difference between the calculated and measured energy use of the building, often known as “energy performance gap”, can be as high as 100-200%. Knowing the size of the building energy performance gap, if it exists, along with its underlying causes will enable professionals to make more informed assumptions and produce better predictions. As
