In this study, we evaluate the performance of 395 private equity funds by European private equity firms between 1989 and 2018, using real cash flow data gathered from Preqin. The evaluation involves using absolute- and relative performance measures. We adopt the public market equivalent framework to measure relative performance, which compares the returns of a private equity fund with a reference
This Master degree thesis aims to assess the UN-mediation attempts in Cyprus during 1999-2004. Performing a qualitative case study, I employ mediation theory to examine the UN good offices efforts, in order to see if the chosen mediation strategy can explain the failure to solve the dispute. Results show that the timing for mediation was favourable, and the context of the conflict indicated that a
Allegations of human rights violations have haunted Frontex, the border agency of the EU, from its very existence in 2004. Although in 2011, the agency became subject to a comprehensive human rights “overhaul”, such infringements continue to take place.

Two affected individuals had early-onset (before 31 and 40 years), severe levodopa-responsive PD with prominent dysphasia, dysarthria, and cognitive decline. Longitudinal clinical follow-up, EEG, SPECT and CSF biomarker examinations suggested an
It is a wellknown fact that the books of the Hebrew Bible are, to a great extent, anonymous and that the individuals long identified as their authors (Moses, Isaiah, David, Solomon, and so on) are not the ones who have penned them. How, then, should the few paratexts that do, in fact, relate texts explicitly to named individuals be understood? In this article, I argue that such a question is essen
