The groundwater pollution of Korneuburg, Austria : its issue life-cycle in the public discourse and collaboration and confrontation strategies of act…
2015
This thesis is a case study about the groundwater contamination of Korneuburg, Austria. The company Kwizda was responsible for pesticides leaking into the groundwater. The contamination was kept quiet with the help of local authorities and would have never come to light if not for the diligent efforts of affected residents. Their collaboration with environmental activists and a journalist led to the uncovering of the incident, eventually leading to remediation measures and lawsuits. While public attention to the issue was high, the authorities approved a controversial remediation measure that would lead to further pollution. With a particular reference to environmental and social issues, th…
Are you a Good Employee or Simply a Good Guy? Infl?uence Costs and Contract Design.
2012
We develop a principal-agent model with a moral hazard problem in which the principal has access to a hard signal (the level of output) and a soft signal (the supervision signal) about the agent?s level of effort. We show that the agent?'s ability to manipulate the soft signal increases the cost of implementing the effcient equilibrium, leading to wage compression when the infl?uence cost is privately incurred by the agent. When manipulation activities negatively affect the agent?s productivity through the level of output, the design of infl?uence-free contracts that deter manipulation may lead to high-powered incentives. This result implies that high-productivity workers face incentive sch…
Relationships among Hedonic and Utilitarian Factors and Exogenous and Endogenous Influences of Consumer Behavior in Tourism
2015
Customer experience is gaining more and more attention from researchers. Particularly in tourism, this experiences may be determined by hedonic or utilitarian factors. However, there are other influences, both exogenous and endogenous, that may impact consumer behaviors in tourism. Thus, in this article, we explore the receptivity of consumers in terms of certain types of influences, exogenous and endogenous, to hedonic and utilitarian factors related to a tourism package. To examine these research questions, we employ exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modelling on a sample of 150 tourists from Europe and North America.

Influenceru juridiskais statuss un to darbības tiesiskais regulējums.
2020
Influenceris ir pietiekami efektīva autoritāte, lai tā viedoklī ieklausītos un investētu. Tādējādi influenceri no kādā nozarē pazīstamiem cilvēkiem, kas aktīvi darbojas sociālo tīklu platformās un piesaista auditoriju, veidojot oriģinālu saturu, ir kļuvuši par mārketinga instrumentiem. Proti, influenceri tagad ir arī komercprakses īstenotāji, to profili – reklāmas izplatīšanas vietas, savukārt to ievērojamais sekotāju pulks – patērētāju mērķauditorija. Straujo izmaiņu dēļ ārvalstīs šajā jomā ir nestabila un arvien mainīga tiesu prakse, savukārt Latvijai raksturīgā tiekšanās pēc ātra un visaptveroša tiesiskā regulējuma novedusi pie situācijas, kuru vienlaikus raksturo gan atbildīgo amatperso…
Influenceru loma airBaltic mārketinga kampaņās
2021
Bakalaura darba Influenceru loma airBaltic mārketinga kampaņās mērķis ir izpētīt influenceru iesaisti mārketinga kampaņās, kā influenceri veido saturu kopā ar “airBaltic” un sadarbības ietvaros, kā arī vispār ieskatīties kopējās influenceru industrijas situācijā Latvijā. Bakalaura darba autore ir secinājusi, ka aviokompānijas “airBaltic” sadarbība un Latvijas influenceru integrācija līdz šim nav pētīta un plašāk apskatīta, tāpēc tas ir interesants temats, lai mēģinātu noskaidrot konkrētā gadījuma situāciju. Paveicot pētījumu, tiek uzsvērts, ka tas varētu būt labs pamats arī turpmākiem pētījumiem. Darba teorētiskajā daļā ir ietverta informācija par komunikāciju, zīmolu un tā veidošanu, kā ar…
Contextuality Analysis of the Double Slit Experiment (with a Glimpse into Three Slits)
2018
The Contextuality-by-Default theory is illustrated on contextuality analysis of the idealized double-slit experiment. The experiment is described by a system of contextually labeled binary random variables each of which answers the question: Has the particle hit the detector, having passed through a given slit (left or right) in a given state (open or closed)? This system of random variables is a cyclic system of rank 4, formally the same as the system describing the Einsten-Podolsky-Rosen-Bell paradigm with signaling. Unlike the latter, however, the system describing the double-slit experiment is always noncontextual, i.e., the context-dependence in it is entirely explainable in terms of d…
El dantisme de Manuel de Montoliu
2007
In the year 1903 Manuel de Montoliu published the first Catalan version, in prose and poetry, of "La Vida Nova", which meant an important stage within the history of pre-Raphaelitism and modernism in Catalonia. In this article the first Dantesque influences in the poetic production of the translator will be detected, the stage of preparation and of presentation of the text will be analysed and, finally, the article will study the progressions that the exegesis of Dante's work determines in Montoliu's thought. This global vision will leave a redimensioned image of the critic which concerns the originality of his positions, and it will be demonstrated that the interpretati…
