The courts and the legal judgments that they produce can potentially be viewed as a source that has the power and ability to create, establish as well as uphold views and norms that lie in society. Female criminality is a discourse which doe

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Gemensamt för alla hydrologiska datormodeller är att de ger en mer eller mindre förenklad bild av det verkliga hydrologiska systemet. Modelltyperna var till en början enkla men efter hand som hydrologiska kunskaper förbättrats och datortekniken utvecklats har flera typer av hydrologiska datormodeller tagits fram. Många av dagens modelltyper är komplexa och illusResearch in hydrological modelling has been directed towards the development of more complex models that may consider the spatial and temporal variations of meteorological and physical characteristics of a drainage basin. The aim with this study was to evaluate the HBV-model (Hydrologiska Byråns Vattenavdelning), a conceptual, semi-distributed hydrological model. This model is able to take the spa

The connection between human rights and development co-operation in the context of the European Union, which are the matters concerned in this paper, has proven to be both a contentious and complex subject.

A common question that leadership students are facing today concerns the nature of leadership itself. House et al. (2004) call leadership as an enigma-a puzzle within a puzzle since there is no comprehensive definition that encompasses all divergent views about leadership. Researchers like Jackson & Perry (2008) argue that leadership is predominantly an American construct due to the fact that

The IS and IT of organizations are not only a part of the environmental problems of the world, but can be part of the solution as well. Green IS and IT can transform an organization, allowing it to improve its environmental performance. To influence an organization to adopt Green IS and IT, one has to convince its decision makers at some point and should therefore understand what influences them.

Using qualitative interviews with twenty recent graduates, this study explores how participants understand and experience career in the aftermath of the crisis.

We aim to provide a deeper

Investments in infrastructure projects in developing countries are often seen as risky by private investors and local capital markets are not fully developed. Consequently, financial resources and guarantees are often to a large extent provided by financial institutions. Financial and economic analysis is important in assessing infrastructure investment proposals in order to assure that they are f

Cross-border integration between Greece, Turkey and Bulgaria has been recently dominated by traditional perception of political diplomacy that overrides the considerations for economic cooperation. This project suggests that more in-depth case analysis of the Evros-Maritza-Meric Euroregion will elucidate the evolution of this concept. The existence of long-term barriers in the cross-border region
