This paper identifies and analyzes paradoxes in perception of organizational crisis. Based on the observation of conflicting views on organizational crises that tend to polarize towards either threats or opportunities, we explore contradictions and interrelations in the concept. Our purpose is to reveal ambivalences and dynamics between the paradoxical pairs and thus contribute to a more reflexive

For cities growing in conditions of extreme heat and aridity, adapting their building stock to reflect these environmental challenges demands a social as well as technical shift. Aqaba in southern Jordan is embarking on this process. Extremely poor building thermal performance coupled with a lack of public understanding of basic energy principles is contributing to social and economic stress in Aq

Purpose: Corporate brands increasingly use influential, high reach human brands (e.g. influencers, celebrities), who have strong parasocial relationships with their followers and audiences, to promote their offerings. However, despite emerging understanding of the benefits arising from human brand-based campaigns, knowledge about their potentially negative effects on the corporate brand remains li

Decision trees constructed by ID3-like algorithms suffer from an inability of detecting instances of categories not present in the set of training examples, i.e., they are discriminative representations. Instead, such instances are assigned to one of the classes actually present in the training set, resulting in undesired misclassifications. Two methods of reducing this problem by learning charact

Abstract in UndeterminedTRIPS is a trade-off between the interest of the developed world in having its technology respected and the need for technology transfer especially to the least-developed countries. But this balance of interests is poorly expressed in the Agreement, which is primarily devoted to protection of intellectual property rights and only marginally addresses the other side of the c

Combining a theoretical discussion of the inherent paradoxes in the celebration of new media technology as a source of democratisation and empowerment of civic cultures with an empirical focus aimed at the changing communicative manifests of mediated political protest, this paper analyses two cases of media strategies in protest movements: 1) A series of civil disobedience actions and mobilisation

Fleråriga grödor i jordbruket PERENNIAL är samlingsnamnet för två forskningsprojekt finansierade av FORMAS och ERC. Huvudsyftet med dessa projekt är att undersöka hur odling av fleråriga grödor kan ha positiv inverkan på jordbruket, miljön samt bidra till att mildra ökande koldioxidkoncentrationer i atmosfären genom kolbindning i marken. PERENNIAL är ett samarbete mellan Lunds universitets centrum

Fotboll är ett fenomen med många fantastiska facetter. I första hand framträder utövarnas konstfulla kamp och publikens hänförelse. Den kommersiella karusell som vuxit fram kring själva spelet under senare decennier har därtill gjort fotbollen till en ekonomisk kraft.Fotbollen är en massrörelse utan modern motstycke och har därmed också blivit en resurs för den humanistiska och samhällsvetenskapli

‘Killer acquisitions’ are fairly a new phenomenon which stems from a researcher’s study related to concerns from a series of mergers in the pharmaceutical industry (Big Pharma) around 2018. Killer acquisitions occur in the pharmaceutical sector and also in large digital and technological markets occupied by large companies (Big Tech). They are putting themselves into a position of overwhelming mar

Microbial decomposers process a great majority of net primary production in the biosphere and regulate carbon (C) and nutrient cycling. Microbial communities are extremely diverse and often disregarded from global C-cycling models, but one strategy to overcome this challenge is to focus on the major decomposer groups: fungi and bacteria. These groups have distinct life strategies and are different

It is increasingly apparent that technology and online platforms entail and communicate normativity. Lawrence Lessig has described this in terms of 'code as law' and thereby pointing to the fact that there is an ongoing shift of power from nation states to tech companies, and José van Dijck has shown how the Big Five - Google (Alphabet), Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft - represents a neo-libera

As regulations regarding energy use and emissions of CO2 equivalents in buildings become more stringent, the need for more accurate tools and improved methods for predicting these parameters in building performance simulations increases. In the first part of this project, a probabilistic method was developed and applied to the transient energy calculations and evaluated using a single-family dwell
