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

Resourcification THEME 2019-2020 In a world of nearly 10 billion people, competition for the conditions of life and wealth can only accelerate. Our contention is that with such increasing competition, people and organizations will turn an increasing amount of material as well as immaterial things into resources – a process that we label resourcification. This will have major consequences for socia

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

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

Exploring a wide variety of visualizations of pregnancy and fetuses through 300 years of history, this timely volume offers a fresh look at the influential feminist concept of the "public fetus."Images of pregnant and fetal bodies are today visible everywhere. Through ultrasound screenings at maternity clinics, birth videos on social media platforms, or antiabortion propaganda, visualizations of p

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

This thesis is using the example of Abercrombie & Fitch’s handling of presentational change caused by a crisis in annual reports. The company was accused to discriminate employees and customers on grounds of distinction of human beings, their appearance and ethnic backgrounds. Fairclough’s approach of critical discourse analysis is used as a theoretical and methodological framework to uncover

Given the polarized political context in Peru that was provoked by the inclusion of LGTBIQ+ identities in the official school curriculum, this study analyzes the meanings that students of pedagogy in Lima ascribe to tolerance and respect towards gay and lesbian people, and how these meanings inform their pedagogical practices. Based on two focus groups and eight individual interviews grounded in s

As global average temperatures are rising, the populist radical right party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) has ramped up its anti-climate but pro environmental protection politics. As this focus is nascent, the question of how and for whom does the political ecology of the AfD articulates meaning has yet received little attention. My analysis of seven semi-structured interviews with party membe

This study investigates how representatives from the Swedish Social Service and the Sweden City missions describe their responsibility concerning long-term housing for families in structural homelessness. The aim is also to have the representatives’ perspectives on how the situation for the target group can be improved. Even though the research concerning structural homelessness is well examined,

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
