The Process of CEO Dismissal: An Exploratory study

2018

The decision to change the CEO is one of the most important decisions of the Board of Directors in a company. This study increases understanding of the process that leads to a Board’s decision to dismiss the CEO under conditions of poor performance, and of the meaning of attributions in CEO dismissal. The role of the Chair of the Board in this process is also explored. An exploratory, empirical study concerning nine CEO dismissal processes is conducted based on open-ended interviews with seven Chairpersons of the Board. The findings shed light on the issues that impact the relationship between poor company performance and CEO dismissal. In particular, the results increase understanding of t…

Evolución del tratamiento jurisprudencial del control de transparencia en contratos de préstamo hipotecario

2022

Las condiciones generales de la contratación incorporadas en los contratos de préstamo hipotecario, celebrados entre entidades financiera y consumidores, han sido objeto de estudio por los tribunales naciones y por el TJUE con el fin de controlar prácticas abusivas por parte de los profesionales. El obligado control de transparencia es el mecanismo que garantiza la supresión de cláusulas abusivas en los contratos de adhesión. En consecuencia, observamos una jurisprudencia cambiante del Tribunal Supremo sobre cómo interpretar los principios generales fijados en la Directiva 93/13/ CEE para declarar la abusividad de las cláusulas, distanciándose en la actualidad de la doctrina comunitaria, as…

Col : A Data Collection Protocol for Vanet

2012

International audience; In this paper, we present a protocol to collect data within a vehicular ad hoc network (VANET). In spite of the intrinsic dynamic of such network, our protocol simultaneously offers three relevant properties: (1) It allows any vehicle to collect data beyond its direct neighborhood (i.e., vehicles within direct communication range) using vehicle-to-vehicle communications only (i.e., the infrastructure is not required); (2) It tolerates possible network partitions; (3) It works on demand and stops when the data collection is achieved. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first collect protocol having these three characteristics. All that is chiefly obtained thanks…

The airport as edge city : the case of Paris' Charles de Gaulle airport

2005

International audience; Most of the recent research about airports has considered them in their role as points within airline networks,and the focus has been generally on hub airports. But airports are also places offering many similarities with cities, particularly with edge cities. They are places of human diversity and job centers for surrounding areas. Traffic jams are common on ground facilities as they are on taxiways, runways and airways. Often divided in specialized districts, such as cargo warehousing, hotel rows, rental car parking lots or office clusters, they are also urban organisms exerting strong demands on the local environment. In the post 9-11era, their importance for econ…

Nanodevices by DNA based gold nanostructures

2017

In this thesis DNA based structures were utilized to create gold nanostructures for nanosensing and nanoelectronic applications. In the past, both of these fields have been dominated by the conventional lithography methods, e.g., electron beam lithography and UV-lithography, but more recently scaling down the components by these techniques has become increasingly more complex and costly. Especially in the micro- and nanoelectronics, the increase in the component density and thus computational power would require fabrication of sub-10-nm components, which is challenging for the top-down approaches. Aforementioned developments have led researchers to seek alternative methods to fabricate these…

Lowered nutritional quality of prey decrease the growth and biomolecule content of rainbow trout fry

2022

Diet quality is crucial for the development of offspring. Here, we examined how the nutritional quality of prey affects somatic growth and the lipid, carbohydrate, protein, amino acid, and polyunsaturated fatty acid content of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fry using a three-trophic-level experimental setup. Diets differed especially in their content of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are physiologically essential polyunsaturated fatty acids for a fish fry. Trout were fed with an artificial diet (fish feed, DHA-rich), marine zooplankton diet (krill/Mysis, DHA-rich), or freshwater zooplankton diet (Daphnia, Cladocera, DHA-deficient). The Daphnia were gr…

Romanssi, satiiri vai yhteiskunnallinen kannanotto? : Virpi Hämeen-Anttilan Suden vuosi 2000-luvun suomalaisena yliopistoromaanina

2013

Tiivistelmä – Abstract Kaunokirjallinen fiktio perustuu usein todelliseen maailmaan ja todellisiin ihmisiin. Lukijat etsivät kirjallisuudesta kiinnekohtaa todellisuuteen ja käyttävät kirjallisuutta oman maailmankuvansa hahmottamiseen, tavalla tai toisella. Lukija myös usein olettaa, että kaunokirjallisuudesta saatu kuva vastaa todellisuutta. Lukija muodostaa tulkintansa hyödyntäen omaa eri lähteistä saatua kompetenssiaan, käyttäen esimerkiksi lajitietouttaan luokittelemalla tekstin tiettyyn lajiin kuuluvaksi. Tämän tutkielman lähtökohtana oli tarkastella yliopistoyhteisön ilmenemistä kaunokirjallisuudessa, nimenomaan suomalaisissa romaaneissa ja suomalaisessa kontekstissa. Kyseistä ilmiötä …
