Kti12, a PSTK-like tRNA dependent ATPase essential for tRNA modification by Elongator
2019
Abstract Posttranscriptional RNA modifications occur in all domains of life. Modifications of anticodon bases are of particular importance for ribosomal decoding and proteome homeostasis. The Elongator complex modifies uridines in the wobble position and is highly conserved in eukaryotes. Despite recent insights into Elongator's architecture, the structure and function of its regulatory factor Kti12 have remained elusive. Here, we present the crystal structure of Kti12′s nucleotide hydrolase domain trapped in a transition state of ATP hydrolysis. The structure reveals striking similarities to an O-phosphoseryl-tRNA kinase involved in the selenocysteine pathway. Both proteins employ similar …

Diversity in Teams : Perceptions of Team Learning Behaviour in a Military Staff Exercise
2020
The aim of this study is to analyse diversity in team learning behaviour between and among national respondents’ perceptions during a military staff exercise (CJSE). Edmondson’s team learning behaviour model is used as the theoretical basis of the study. The results showed statistically significant differences both between and among national respondents’ perceptions. The research results indicate that team leader coaching, team psychological safety, the importance of obtaining expert knowledge as well as pre-exercise training are perceived to be crucial for team learning behaviour. The study has theoretical and practical implications for a more nuanced understanding of the diversity of team…
A transaction cost analysis of staffing decisions in international operations
2005
Abstract This paper analyzes staffing decisions in foreign subsidiaries from the perspective of transaction cost theory. We focus on the ex post transaction costs of the employment relation. Specifically, we look at the monitoring, bonding, maladaptation, and bargaining costs of conducting activities in specific subsidiaries in a foreign country. We hypothesize that the transaction costs of using expatriates are lower than those generated by local employees, especially in the higher managerial echelons of foreign subsidiaries, but also that costs can be reduced as individuals become more experienced. We also conjecture that ex post transaction costs are influenced by cultural differences be…
Using GATS Article II to Resort to Investment Arbitration
2020
It is widely known that links between international investment law and World Trade Organization (WTO) rules—which are part of competition law at the global level—are numerous. But is it possible to use a WTO rule to resort to investment arbitration? This is what a corporation from Luxembourg attempted to do recently as a consequence of a dispute arising from an investment made in the airport sector in Senegal. Since Luxembourg had no investment treaty with the investor’s host state, the claimant sought to establish the jurisdiction of an investment tribunal by combining the most-favoured-nation clause provided in General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS) Article II and the investor-stat…
THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE RESOURCE BASED FIRM BETWEEN VALUE APPROPRIATION AND VALUE CREATION
2005
Various authors have brought forth the idea that the increase in context turbulence and the relentless change in today’s economic and competitive environments have rendered it essential for an effective firm strategy to combine both value appropriation and value creation (Porter, (1996); Moran & Ghoshal, (1999); Venkataraman & Sarasvathy, (2001); Hitt et al., (2001b). Nonetheless, the methodological bases and the assumptions that characterize contributions concerning value appropriation and value creation are notably different and in many respects opposite to one another. These profound methodological differences hinder the possibility of a combined consideration of value appropriation and …
Naftas un gāzes rūpniecības ietekmes analīze uz valsts ekonomisko vidi
2020
Valsts, kura ražo un eksportē naftu parasti tiek uzskatīta par attīstības valsti. Kazahstānas Republika ir viena no attīstības valsts piemēriem ar lielām naftas un gāzes rezervēm. Šī darba pirmajās daļās tiek aprakstīta globālās ekonomikas tekošā situācija naftas un gāzes industrijā, un kādu vietu šī nozare ieņem Kazahstānā. Darba autora veiktie pētījumi, iekļauj sevī PESTLE analīzi, kas uzskatāmi parāda naftas un gāzes industrijas ietekmi uz Kazahstānas ekonomiku, ņemot vērā starptautisko korporāciju ietekmi uz tādām nozarēm kā politika, ekonomika, tehnoloģijas un apkārtējā vide. Pētījuma rezultāti attēlo negatīvas un pozitīvas ietekmes faktoru virkni, kuri savukārt var būt paaugstināti va…
