  2. 6. Postcolonial perspective on international knowledge transfer and spillover to Indian news media : From institutional duality to third space

    Author : Zehra Sayed; Robert G. Picard; Michal Frenkel; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis examines the ways in which postcolonial ambivalence – a symptomatic condition of postcolonial societies in which they simultaneously embrace and reject the cultural, political and economic processes and expressions of the “ex-colonizer” – plays out in current globalization. This dialectic may be particularly apparent in the transfer of knowledge from developed-country MNCs to subsidiaries located in formerly colonized, now developing countries. READ MORE

    Abstract : In recent decades, several knowledge work organizations have introduced alternative workplaces (AWs) that are implemented through flexible and collaborative office models. Their rapid diffusion has been prompted by the deterministic assumption that these may influence workers’ relations and behaviors in the office, in a way that is conducive to greater collaboration and adaptive flexibility.

The detrimental impact of loneliness on health and well-being is well documented and has recently become a rising priority for governments worldwide. READ MORE

  6. 9. Space Weather Physics: Dynamic Neural Network Studies of Solar Wind-Magnetosphere Coupling

    Author : Jian-Guo Wu; Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Geophysics; kosmisk kemi; rymdvetenskap; Astronomi; cosmic chemistry; solar wind; space weather; magnetosphere; solar wind-magnetosphere coupling; geomagnetic activity; geomagnetic storms; predictions; modeling; neural networks; space research; Astronomy; physical oceanography; meteorology; Geofysik; fysisk oceanografi; meteorologi; Fysicumarkivet A:1997:Wu;

    Abstract : This thesis presents studies of solar wind-magnetosphere coupling using dynamic neural networks in combination with statistically correlative analysis. The primary contribution of the thesis is dynamic neural network models that can be implemented for near real-time predictions of geomagnetic storms from the solar wind alone. READ MORE
