Purpose: The purpose of our study is to further the understanding of the dynamics between organizational identity, culture and image, and the role of HR in this dynamic. Theoretical Model: Our own conceptual understanding of the Organizational Identity Dynamics Model as put forwards by Hatch and Schultz (2002) Empirical Foundation: Our empirical material was gathered through semi-structured interv

Recent developments within sensual and sexy exercise have led to fashionable dance studios and gyms introducing their customers to pole dancing and other forms of sensual exercise. From the aspect of pole dancers being dirty workers the studios who teach pole dancing are now struggling to get away from the negative prejudices of the sport. We have been studying the corporate identity and image in

Skogarna på den norra hemisfären har en betydande roll i den globala kolbalansen på grund av deras förmåga att agera som kolkälla. En annan aspekt som gör de intressanta är deras känslighet för tänkbara kommande klimatförändringar där en möjlig följd är ökad störningsfrekvens. Störningar (som bland annat innefattar storm, insektsangrepp och brand) påverkar skogens kolbalans genom att minska upptagOn the night between the 8th and 9th of January 2005 one of the worst wind storms Sweden has experienced took place. The storm caused damage to 270 000 ha of forest and 75 · 106 m3 wood. Due to the great areas affected, this event has a significant effect on the forest carbon balance. The aim of this study includes determining the usefulness of MODIS (moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer)

Purpose: The Chinese mining industry is the third biggest in the world in terms of scale and magnitude. Due to the growing importance of the Chinese market, Sandvik Mining and Construction is investing heavily in China. As a result, there is a need for a new marketing plan for China. The marketing efforts will increase much, but since the marketing department has been relatively undeveloped, there

Summary: Manama Mission is a Lutheran mission station in the Gwanda District, Zimbabwe, that suffers from a shortage in water supply. Its only source of water at present is a sand dam in the nearby Tuli river. During June, July and August 1990 a ground water study was carried out at the mission. This was done by Patrich Holmström, Per Möller and Mats Svensson, students at University of Lund, Swede

The most important issue in this dissertation will be a discussion concerning metal age flint use in Scania. Since flint tools from the Bronze and Iron Ages and Medieval times have rarely been examined, there are few general guidelines in typology or morphology. It is quite clear that conversions of existing Stone Age typological schemes are unsuitable when one intends to study the often simple an

Platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs) are important in many types of mesenchymal cell. Here we identify a new PDGF, PDGF-C, which binds to and activates the PDGF alpha-receptor. PDGF-C is activated by proteolysis and induces proliferation of fibroblasts when overexpressed in transgenic mice. In situ hybridization analysis in the murine embryonic kidney shows preferential expression of PDGF-C mes

In decerebrated, nonanesthetized cats, we made intracellular whole-cell recordings and extracellular cell-attached recordings from granule cells in the cerebellar C3 zone. Spontaneous EPSPs had large, relatively constant peak amplitudes, whereas IPSPs were small and did not appear to contribute substantially to synaptic integration at a short time scale. In many cases, the EPSPs of individual moss

The Department of English in Lund: Working Papers in Linguistics is an annual volume produced by the English Department at Lund University in Sweden. Its main aim is to publicize research being carried out by staff and post-graduate students in the department, but we are also pleased to include contributions from members of neighbouring departments and universities. The contributions in volume 3

The seed oil in Macadamia integrifolia contains about 30% palmitoleic acid (16:1(Delta9)) and Nerium oleander about 12% isoricinoleic acid (Delta9-hydroxy-18:1(Delta12)). It has been shown that palmitoleic acid can be produced by acyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) desaturases and it has also been shown that fatty acid hydroxylation can occur via direct substitution of a hydrogen atom. Therefore it se

Early Nordic cooperation comprised ideas, programs, even computer blueprints and resulted in rapid progress. Regnecentralen contributed importantly in developing Algol 60. Algol for Facit EDB was used at many sites. Further advances were Datasaab's Algol Genius and the Norwegian Simula project. Regrettably, failure of our compiler companies led to software setbacks. We revisit the Algol debates co

Enterococcus faecalis haem catalase was crystallized using lithium sulfate at neutral pH. The crystals belong to space group R3, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 236.9, c = 198.1 Angstrom. The three-dimensional structure was determined by molecular replacement using a subunit of the Proteus mirabilis catalase structure. It was refined against 2.3 Angstrom synchrotron data to a free R factor of 21

Presence–absence surveys are a commonly used method for monitoring broad-scale changes in wildlife distributions. However, the lack of power of these surveys for detecting population trends is problematic for their application in wildlife management. Options for improving power include increasing the sampling effort or arbitrarily relaxing the type I error rate. We present an alternative, whereby

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: AB Klippans Läderfabrik var under sina verksamma år en av de största arbetsgivarna i området. Ett flertal giftiga ämnen användes i verksamheten, främst krom men även formalin och under en kort period arsenik. Fabrikstomten kom med tiden att förorenas. Stora delar av fabriken brann ned år 1917 och röken från branden sträckte sig in över ett intilliggande villaomrDuring environmental investigations at the polluted Klippan Leather Factory, elevated levels of arsenic were detected in the adjacent residential area. The arsenic is believed to have originated from a fire in the leather factory in 1917, when a plume of smoke covered the residential area and deposited arsenic as fallout. Investigations showed that the pollution was located in the topsoil, and dur

It’s widely known that adolescent crime is a problem and work as a threat to our society. Even though it’s not a new phenomenon we still don’t know for sure how to explain the youth’s criminal behavior. Instead we tend to create our own understanding which is heavily affected by our surroundings. How can one explain adolescent crime? Are there risk factors that are more dominant than others? To ge

This paper is written in order to study the effects which foreign direct investment firms have on developing host countries in order to find if countries' policies to actively attract FDI are a good development strategy. In order to find how FDI effects the countries are a big set of possible effects discussed and empirically tested using firm level data from 126 different developing countries

The aim of this study is to examine the determinants of capital structure via a cross-country comparison between the U.S.A. and Sweden. With the consideration of firm specific factors, the main focus is on researching country effect and macroeconomic impacts on firms’ financing policy. Including both country and macroeconomic factors in the research allows for having a new approach on the topic. T
