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
As the new generation of Information Technology is progressing at a rapid pace, with big data establishing a trend in organisations, integration between systems becomes substantial. In this chapter, we particularly look at information security as a system that has become an essential part of Business Intelligence (BI).

Frontal eyes of crustaceans (previously Called nauplius eye and frontal organs) are usually simple eyes that send their axons to a medial brain Centre in the anterior margin of the protocerebrum. Investigations of a large number of recent species within all major groups of the Crustacea have disclosed four kinds of frontal eyes correlated with taxonomic groups and named after them as the malacostr
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
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

Through ultrasound screenings at maternity clinics, birth videos on social media platforms, or antiabortion propaganda, visualizations of p
IntroductionSlow sand filtration is an established method for drinking water treatment, however, the knowledge about their microbial ecology remains limited. Maintenance of slow sand filters (SSF) includes washing to remove biofilm growth in the sand and restore flow through the filter. Understanding how this impacts produced water is important as the SSF may influence the bacterial flora in the f

In a study with 108 10- to 12-year-olds who used a digital educational game targeting history, we addressed the phenomenon of perseverance, that is, the tendency to stick with a task even when it is challenging. The educational game was designed to make all students encounter tasks they did not succeed to solve, at which point they were offered a set of choices corresponding to perseverance and no
This paper is a translation of a talk given by Lars Jonung at the conference held in his honor at his 70th birthday in Lund on October 3-4, 2014. A few additions and updates have been made to the original talk. He came to Lund to study economics in the autumn of 1965. Both the city and the subject of economics have captivated him ever since.

This study examines the everyday life and mobility patterns of shoe shiners in La Paz and focuses in particular on the perspective of female shoe shiners. Shoe shining is a stigmatized profession in La Paz. Based on Lefebvre’s theory of the right to the city, the study investigates the means through which shoe shiners are able to access and use public space—especially through the payment of patent
Den här uppsatsen undersöker med hjälp av receptionsstudier huruvida människors tolkning av filmen Snövit (1937) har förändrats i ett nutida sammanhang. Den teoretiska grunden utgörs av Stuart Halls receptionsstudier och teorier kring tre olika typer av tolkningar; dominant, förhandlande och oppositionell tolkning. Laura Mulveys teorier om the male gaze används för att nå en djupare analys. Teorie
