description: Abstract
The concept of green consumer behavior has emerged as a novel area of study within the field of marketing, garnering attention from both researchers and practitioners in contemporary consumer research. The primary objective of this study was to ascertain the influence of Green Marketing (GM) on consumer Green Purchase Behavior. The objective will be achieved through the consolidation of current research endeavors and the identification of areas of deficiency and potential avenues for future investigation. The research problem has been formulated with the following questions Does the implementation of Green Marketing strategies have a substantial and favourable impact on consumers' propensity to engage in Green Purchase Behavior? A Bibliometric Literature Review analysis was used. The study has produced several significant discoveries, one of which relates to the impact of Green Marketing Variables (specifically, Green Product, Green Marketing Channels, Green Promotion, and Green Price) on Green Purchase Behavior. Thus, Green Marketing practices influence consumer purchasing behaviour. Also, several studies indicate a weak correlation between GM and consumers' green purchasing behavior (GPB). On the other hand, one of the results, "Green Promotion" was the most significant variable that impacted consumers' purchase behavior. The findings of the study contribute to the existing body of knowledge on green marketing (GM) and green purchase behavior (GPB), enhancing our understanding in these areas.

description: Motivated by recent work on the utility of Mellin space for representing conformal correlators in $AdS$/CFT, we study its suitability for representing dual conformal integrals of the type which appear in perturbative scattering amplitudes in super-Yang-Mills theory. We discuss Feynman-like rules for writing Mellin amplitudes for a large class of integrals in any dimension, and find explicit representations for several familiar toy integrals. However we show that the power of Mellin space is that it provides simple representations even for fully massive integrals, which except for the single case of the 4-mass box have not yet been computed by any available technology. Mellin space is also useful for exhibiting differential relations between various multi-loop integrals, and we show that certain higher-loop integrals may be written as integral operators acting on the fully massive scalar $n$-gon in $n$ dimensions, whose Mellin amplitude is exactly 1. Our chief example is a very simple formula expressing the 6-mass double box as a single integral of the 6-mass scalar hexagon in 6 dimensions.

description: Women account for approximately one-half of all human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections worldwide. Sexual transmission is the dominant mode of HIV transmission to women, and there is a concomitant associated epidemic of transmission to infants. The majority of HIV infections in women are in sub-Saharan Africa, with a disproportionate burden in young women < 25 years of age. Acquisition and prevention of HIV infection in women is complex and influenced by biological, behavioral, and structural factors. Efforts to reduce the incidence of HIV infection among women in sub-Saharan African could play a substantial role in altering global trajectories of HIV infection. Increasing access to sexual and reproductive health services, addressing gender-based violence and social instability, reducing poverty and the need to engage in sex for survival, and encouraging greater male responsibility are critical short-to-medium-term interventions. Efforts to find a microbicide and HIV vaccine need to be matched with efforts to deepen understanding of acquisition of HIV in the female genital tract to inform development of targeted molecules for prevention of HIV infection.

We clarify the tie between definitions using a group averaging procedure and those in a deparametrised framework. We draw some conclusions about the physics of a single quantum universe and multiverse field theories where the role of these sectors and the inner product are reinterpreted.

description: Hardware acceleration is a widely accepted solution for performance and energy efficient computation because it removes unnecessary hardware for general computation while delivering exceptional performance via specialized control paths and execution units. The spectrum of accelerators available today ranges from coarse-grain off-load engines such as GPUs to fine-grain instruction set extensions such as SSE. This research explores the benefits and challenges of managing memory at the data-structure level and exposing those operations directly to the ISA. We call these instructions. Abstract Datatype Instructions (ADIs). This paper quantifies the performance and energy impact of ADIs on the instruction and data cache hierarchies. For instruction fetch, our measurements indicate that ADIs can result in 21-48% and 16-27% reductions in instruction fetch time and energy respectively. For data delivery, we observe a 22-40% reduction in total data read/write time and 9-30% in total data read/write energy.
Professions, Paradoxes and Management

description: Reform of the public sector has been on the agenda in Denmark, as in many other western countries, during the last two or three decades. New Public Management (NPM) has had major implications for professions and the managers who are handling the changes and creating new organizations - “the front line providers and supporters of public services”, as they are described by Farrel and Morris (2003: 136). An overlooked aspect in the literature on professions is a focus on their processes in managing and impacting the changes when they are translated into practice (Sehested 1996; 2002, Ferlie et al. 2000, Farrel and Morris, 2003, Juel Jacobsen 2009). With an ethnographic approach and a concept of paradox as a lens to explore on-going processes, this paper investigates the interaction between management of professions in a Danish upper secondary high school. The purpose of the paper is to add to our understanding of management of professions. The following research questions frame the investigation: How do the professions manage their project when they are to create organizational processes of change that involve new understandings of their work, and what are the organizational implications? How do managers and professions respond to competing tensions? And what management characteristics are effective in attending to contradictory demands? The results of the empirical research seem to challenge basic assumptions generated by the classical professions` theory of autonomous and self-reliant professions (Larson 1977, Abbott 1988, Freidson 1986). These assumptions are repeated in newer organizational theory concerning professions (Ferlie et al 1996, Sehested 2002, Sognstrup 2003, Kragh Jespersen 2005) The empirical research of this paper, however, illustrates that the professions.

description: Capital investment in national infrastructure is significant. The need to maintain and protect critical infrastructure links has led in recent years to significant developments in the area of structural health monitoring. The objective is to track a structure’s long-term performance, typically using sensors, and to successively compare the most recently measured responses with prior response history. During construction of the West Street On-Ramp, a curved concrete box girder bridge, located in the city of Anaheim (California), eleven accelerometers were permanently installed on its bridge deck. The associated data acquisition system was configured to record once a specified threshold acceleration response was exceeded; during the period 2002–2010 a total of 1350 datasets including six earthquakes, for each of the eleven sensors, were acquired. This automatically acquired data was supplemented, during the summer of 2009, with responses measured during controlled vehicle tests. Six accelerometers were additionally installed on the frame of the weighed test vehicle. This paper presents the findings of the analyses of these measured data sets and serves to inform owners and managers as to the potential feedback from their instrumentation investment. All response histories were analyzed using frequency domain techniques for system identification. Extraction of the modal characteristics revealed a continuous reduction, of approximately 5%, in the first three natural frequencies over the period of the study. The measured responses from the vehicle sensors are discussed in the context of identifying the potential for bridge frequency measurement using instrumented vehicles.

Stories create memory as well as oblivion and thus influence the identity of the organization as well as the identity of its members. Therefore it is a central management discipline to try to influence the dominant stories told in the organization.

description: Identifying the dominant controls on Earth’s surface topography is of critical importance to understanding both the short- and long-term evolution of geological processes and past- and present-day dynamics of Earth’s coupled mantle–lithosphere system. The ability to simulate a stress free — or a so-called ‘free surface’ — boundary condition is required to examine such processes via numerical models. However, at present, geodynamical models incorporating a free surface are limited, as most underlying free surface algorithms place severe restrictions on the computational timestep. Consequently, the simulations are often intractable. In this study, we introduce a new approach for incorporating a free surface within geodynamical models: an algorithm, in which free surface elevation is treated as an independent variable and is solved for in conjunction with the momentum and continuity equation, using implicit time integration. We demonstrate that the method is straightforward to implement in existing models and, using a series of analytical and benchmark comparisons, we show that it does not suffer from the timestep constraints of previous schemes. Furthermore, the scheme can be made second order accurate in time, at no additional cost. The method therefore dramatically improves the computational efficiency of geodynamical simulations including a free surface, whilst maintaining solution accuracy.

description: The concept of ecosystem services has evolved from society's earliest basic needs of obtaining food and shelter to today's complex ecological paradigms that include social, cultural, and economic and conservation objectives. While scientists and environmentalists have discussed ecosystem services implicitly for decades, the current nomenclature began to refine significantly in the1990s and 2000s. Correspondingly, during this same period, the idea of private sector/investment driven/conservation finance began to take form in an arena long dominated by public finance and philanthropy. Thus, the opportunity of the day: How do we better define effective formulas that match ecological opportunity with available private capital? Refining, or in many cases, developing the value chain between the worlds of conservation and financial investment is a major part of the solution. Financial advisors and investors must become as comfortable evaluating ecosystem services, like aquifer recharge and water quality credits, as with evaluating commodity pricing for minerals or agricultural products. Equally, the conservation world will improve its track record greatly by learning to conduct rigorous project diligence and selection processes similar to those applied in more traditional investment contexts. While, significant progress has occurred, particularly in the more advanced markets of wetland, stream or species banking, there remains the challenge of effectively leveraging these early gains into the numerous larger, yet less developed, ecosystem markets.
Dialogue on dialogues

Publisher: name: Akademisk kvarter | Academic Quarter
Year: 2013

description: The article elaborates on a theoretical understanding of dialogue as a means for the co-production of knowledge in and on leadership communicative practices through ongoing research collaboration that involves leaders, researchers and master students at Aalborg University. Dialogue is viewed from a dissensus perspective, which draws on Bakhtin’s dynamic thoughts on the heteroglossic nature of interaction and on multi-voiced dialogues as battles between centrifugal and centripetal forces. The concept multi-voiced dialogues is posited as a means for opening up dialogical moments of change in order to cultivate the creative and transformational powers of dialogues in which new meanings, voices and forms of knowledge emerge. I discuss how this way of framing the dialogical co-production of knowledge challenges the mainstream understanding of dialogical practices by embracing relational, conflictual and contradictory aspects of meaning-making processes. The concept of multi-voiced dialogues aims to challenge authoritative discourses that advocate monologism, unity and consensus.

Using infinite projected entangled-pair states (iPEPS) and exact diagonalizations, we show that in both cases the ground state is a simplex solid state with a two-fold ground state degeneracy, in which the N spins belonging to a simplex (i.e. a complete graph) form a singlet. Theses states can be seen as generalizations of valence bond solid states known to be stabilized in certain SU(2) spin models.

Leaders’ learning orientation and the HCM-turn in call centres
Creators: name: Gnauer, Dorina
Publisher: name: Akademisk kvarter | Academic Quarter
Year: 2013

description: Research on call centres is increasingly concerned with high levels of work intensification and unveils deep-seated contradictions in this new form of service organizations. The current debate opposes management interests in rationalization and technologies of efficiency and control to employee wellbeing and the quality of the customer service. Based on a single-case study, this paper advances a differentiated view of management focusing on the mediating role of operational management in striking a balance between structural requirements and people issues. Learning orientation is identified as a significant leadership quality that promotes reflexivity in the ongoing processes of interpretation and meaning creation enhancing the human dimension in the production of service. Learning orientation will be related to high-commitment management (HCM) as a way to reconcile the logics of efficiency and customization. Arguably, a learning orientation impacts not only at shop floor level, but also on the upper organization, through upward feedback, providing potentially valuable knowledge to the organizational strategic decision making.

description: I describe a two-year-old embedded systems design course I teach at Columbia University. In it, the students learn low-level C programming and VHDL coding to design and implement a project of their own choosing. The students implement their projects using Xilinx FPGAs and tools running on Linux workstations. The main challenges the students face are understanding and complying with complex and often poorly-documented interfaces and protocols, personal time management, and teamwork. While all real-world challenges, this class is often the first time the students encounter them, which makes the class quite challenging, but very practical. In this paper, I describe the structure of the class, the configuration of our teaching laboratory, some of the more successful projects, and give suggestions to instructors wishing to implement the class elsewhere.

description: Based on an empirical study of organizational entry and employee induction in a Danish private sector company, and supported by complexity theory perspectives, the article develops the notion of ‘organizational temporality’ of relevance when researching and practicing employee induction. Organizational life is understood as evolving complex responsive processes of local interaction forming and being formed by global patterns of interaction (Stacey 2010, Prigogine 1997).


It is argued that formalized induction practices based on assumptions of newcomer as ‘unknowledgeable’ and oldtimer as ‘knowledgeable’ is in possible discord with actual learning processes and related feelings of uncertainty experienced by newcomers and oldtimers in rapidly changing organizations.


To reduce costly newcomer turnover many organizations put much energy into optimizing formalized global induction programs. This article contends that organizational entry, socialization and newcomer–oldtimer interactions are best understood in a local micro-organizational perspective. Based on this contention the term ‘ecology of entry’ is developed.

description: We present a simple model of a production network in which firms are linked by supplier-customer relationships involving extension of trade-credit. Our aim is to identify the minimal set of mechanisms which reproduce qualitatively the main stylized facts of industrial demography, such as firms' size distribution, and, at the same time, the correlation, over time and across firms, of output, growth and bankruptcies. The behavior of aggregate variables can be traced back to the direct firm-firm interdependence. In this paper, we assume that the number of firms is constant and the network has a periodic static structure. But the framework allows further extensions to investigate which network structures are more robust against domino effects and, if the network is let to evolve in time, which structures emerge spontaneously, depending on the individual strategies for orders and delivery.

description: We analyze the possibility of superluminal neutrino propagation delta v = (v - c)/c > 0 as indicated by OPERA data, in view of previous phenomenological constraints from supernova SN1987a and gravitational Cerenkov radiation. We argue that the SN1987a data rule out delta v ~ (E_ν/M_N)^N for N \le 2 and exclude, in particular, a Lorentz-invariant interpretation in terms of a 'conventional' tachyonic neutrino. We present two toy Lorentz-violating theoretical models, one a Lifshitz-type fermion model with superluminality depending quadratically on energy, and the other a Lorentz-violating modification of a massless Abelian gauge theory with axial-vector couplings to fermions. In the presence of an appropriate background field, fermions may propagate superluminally or subluminally, depending inversely on energy, and on direction. Reconciling OPERA with SN1987a would require this background field to depend on location.

description: Magnetic field lines are quantum objects carrying one quantum $Φ_0=2π\hbar/e$ of magnetic flux and have finite radius $λ_m$. Here we argue that they possess a very specific dynamical interaction. Parallel field lines reject each other. When confined to a certain area they form two-dimensional lattices of hexagonal structure. We estimate the filling factor of such an area. Antiparallel field lines, on the other hand, attract each other. We identify the physical mechanism as being due to the action of the gauge potential field which we determine quantum mechanically for two parallel and two antiparallel field lines. The distortion of the quantum electrodynamic vacuum causes a cloud of virtual pairs. We calculate the virtual pair production rate from quantum electrodynamics and estimate the virtual pair cloud density, pair current and Lorentz force density acting on the field lines via the pair cloud. These properties of field line dynamics become important in collisionless reconnection, consistently explaining why and how reconnection can spontaneously set on in the field-free centre of a current sheet below the electron-inertial scale.

Population structure of yelloweye rockfish (Sebastes ruberrimus) driven by limited dispersal and selection
Creators: name: Siegle, Matthew Ray
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Natural selection and local adaptation influence fish abundances and distributions on both short and long-term time scales: first, by influencing recruitment dynamics and second, by affecting long-term population persistence in fluctuating environmental conditions. Little is known, however, about the significance of adaptive population divergence in the marine environment. In this study, I utilized an FST outlier approach to detect putatively selected loci from an Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) marker dataset of yelloweye rockfish (Sebastes ruberrimus) collected from southeast Alaska south to Oregon. During the data analysis phase, a plate bias was detected and efforts to eliminate this effect were unsuccessful. Therefore, each PCR plate was analyzed separately, resulting in seven independent analyses. A total of 966-1580 AFLP loci were identified for the seven plates, and 0-10 loci (0-0.79%) per plate were identified as FST outliers by program, BAYESCAN. Based on results from the outlier analyses, datasets composed of neutral loci (those with no support for being under selection) and outlier loci (those exceeding a minimum posterior threshold of 0.7, corresponding to a moderate amount of support for being under selection) were established for each plate. Global FST values are approximately five times greater for the outlier datasets (mean FST=0.56) than for putatively neutral loci (mean FST=0.10). The genetic clustering program, STRUCTURE, identified similar patterns of population structure both for the neutral and outlier datasets. The outlier datasets, however, lead to overall higher assignment probabilities of individual fish to genetic groups than observed with the neutral datasets. In addition, several similar clustering patterns (e.g. southern vs. northern genetic clusters, presence of isolated clusters) were observed across several plates, providing independent evidence for regionally restricted gene flow. Overall, my results suggest that population structure driven by neutral processes may be reinforced by natural selection, which has implications for the management of yelloweye rockfish fishery stocks and the scale of connectivity within the Rockfish Conservation Area marine reserve network.

description: Since 9/11, federal funds directed toward public health departments for training in disaster preparedness have dramatically increased, resulting in changing expectations of public health workers’ roles in emergency response. This article explores the public health emergency responder role through data collected as part of an oral history conducted with the 3 health departments that responded to Hurricane Katrina in Mississippi and Louisiana. The data reveals a significant change in public health emergency response capacity as a result of federal funding. The role is still evolving, and many challenges remain, in particular, a clear articulation of the public health role in emergency response, the integration of the public health and emergency responder cultures, identification of the scope of training needs and strategies to maintain new public health emergency response skills, and closer collaboration with emergency response agencies.

Hvordan kan man lære lederskab
Creators: name: Helth, Poula
Publisher: name: Akademisk kvarter | Academic Quarter
Year: 2013

description: This article focuses on knowledge about learning processes based on a research project where leaders make experiments in order to create new aspects of leadership. Based on movement seeing and the affective turn (Massumi 2002) leaders learn to act differently. The sessions in the project are organized as living, sensing, moving experiments where leaders get inspiration from performance theory (Schechner 2003).


The project is based on the assumption that too much of the social theory is unprocessual (Massumi 1997) and that leaders therefore have to learn to become more process oriented thorough their professional leadership training i.e. based on a non-representational theory, that is an approach to understanding the world where we to have to look at the how and not the what (Thrift 2008).


The project moves the learning focus from a theoretical study to a performing study in close connection with developing the self as an embodied self; it is the self that is based on desire and corporeality (Elliot 2012). New forms of leadership will occur and we will have to reconsider our traditional ways of organizing educational systems that are often focused on effects and transfer.

An AMR Study of the Common Envelope Phase of Binary Evolution

description: The hydrodynamic evolution of the common envelope phase of a low mass binary composed of a 1.05 Msun red giant and a 0.6 Msun companion has been followed for five orbits of the system using a high resolution method in three spatial dimensions. During the rapid inspiral phase, the interaction of the companion with the red giant's extended atmosphere causes about 25% of the common envelope to be ejected from the system, with mass continuing to be lost at the end of the simulation at a rate ~ 2 Msun/yr. In the process the resulting loss of angular momentum and energy reduces the orbital separation by a factor of seven. After this inspiral phase the eccentricity of the orbit rapidly decreases with time. The gravitational drag dominates hydrodynamic drag at all times in the evolution, and the commonly-used Bondi-Hoyle-Lyttleton prescription for estimating the accretion rate onto the companion significantly overestimates the true rate. On scales comparable to the orbital separation, the gas flow in the orbital plane in the vicinity of the two cores is subsonic with the gas nearly corotating with the red giant core and circulating about the red giant companion. On larger scales, 90% of the outflow is contained within 30 degrees of the orbital plane, and the spiral shocks in this material leave an imprint on the density and velocity structure. Of the energy released by the inspiral of the cores, only about 25% goes toward ejection of the envelope.

Narrating the Political Hero

description: Like a distorted mirror, mass culture products generally give back an exaggerated reflection of the sociocultural context. In this regard, from a historical perspective, 9/11 attacks launch a warning to global society that no individual or nation was completely safe. This has created a climate of fear that would be intensified with the Iraq war and the global economic crisis. This atmosphere will translate to audiovisual fiction as stories where anyone can be the enemy, even political leaders. So the boundaries between heroes and villains are uncertain. With the 2008 Presidential Elections, the United States started a new era whose predominant narrative would be to accept and overcome past mistakes, in order to be the great nation it once was. In sum, we aim to expose how fictional construction of political leaders has evolved since Obama’s victory, illustrating this with examples from films and TV shows.

A left-right symmetric model with SU(2)-triplet fermions
Creators: name: Gu, Pei-Hong
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider an $SU(3)_c \otimes SU(2)_L \otimes SU(2)_R \otimes U(1)_{B-L}$ left-right symmetric model with three Higgs scalars including an $SU(2)_L$ doublet, an $SU(2)_R$ doublet and an $SU(2)_L \otimes SU(2)_R$ bidoublet. In addition to usual SU(2)-doublet fermions, our model contains SU(2)-triplet fermions with Majorana masses. The neutral components of the left-handed triplets can contribute a canonical seesaw while the neutral components of the right-handed triplets associated with the right-handed neutrinos can contribute a double/inverse-type seesaw. Our model can be embedded into an SO(10) grand unification theory where the triplets belong to the $45=(1,3,1,0) \oplus (1,1,3,0)\oplus ...$ representations.

Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter

description: This kind of films mixes the genre biopic with historiography, as they dramatize authentic historical figures and their personal as well as political lives. Cinematic biographies of this kind may create controversies as veracity can have fallen victim to the needs of the film script and the box office. The article will attempt to read Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter (Timur Bekmambetov, 2012) in the light of narratological theories and it will investigate whether the film’s genre hybridity or mashup characteristics as well as its travesty traits have enabled it to climb from meaningless late night entertainment to historiographic metafiction. Its initial and quite basic research question is whether Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter has in any way been able to tell the truth about the past? A part of this question is how apt the signification of the vampire monster type is as a vehicle for the film’s quite specific form of historiography?

Same-Sign Tetra-Leptons from Type II Seesaw

description: The type II seesaw mechanism introduces a hypercharged Higgs triplet to explain the observed neutrino masses and mixing. Among three triplet components, the doubly charged Higgs boson can be the lightest and decay mainly to same-sign di-leptons. Furthermore, the heavier singly charged or neutral Higgs boson produces a doubly charged Higgs boson through its fast gauge decay. This leads to a novel signature of same-sign tetra-leptons resulting from a pair production of same-sign doubly charged Higgs bosons caused by the nearly degenerate neutral scalar mixing which can be sizable for an appropriate choice of the model parameters. After studying production cross-sections for the same-sign tetra-lepton signal in the parameter space of the mass splitting among triplet components and the triplet vacuum expectation value, we provide a LHC analysis of the same-sign tetra-lepton signal for a benchmark point chosen to maximize the event number.

description: In order to treat domestic wastewater containing phosphorus and chemical oxygen demand (COD), the new technology of Sinusoidal Alternating Current (AC) Fenton Oxidation-Coagulation (SACFOC) was used to improve the removal efficiency (Re) and reduce energy consumption (EEC). The morphology, elemental composition, crystal structure and functional groups of the sludge were characterised by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The results show that total phosphorus removal efficiency {Re(TP)} and removal efficiency of organic matter {Re(COD)} can reach 97.56% and 87.77%, respectively, but EEC is only 0.09 kWh·m−3 under the optimum conditions of pH0 = 3, current density (j) = 0.5 A·m−2, c0(TP) = 18 mg·dm−3, c0(COD) = 300 mg·dm−3, c0(H2O2) = 0.06 mol·dm−3, t = 45 min. As compared with direct current (DC) Fenton Oxidation-Coagulation (DCFOC), the COD removal efficiency of SACFOC treatment was improved by 37%, but the energy consumption was reduced by 45%. The degradation process of total phosphorus and COD by SACFOC abides by the quasi-first-order kinetic model. The process of SACFOC includes double effects of electrocoagulation of iron sol by electrolysis and degrade COD by oxidation of formed hydroxyl radicals (·OH) in wastewater, which improves removal efficiency of total phosphorus and COD in wastewater. Our research findings will provide technical guidance and a theoretical basis for the simultaneous treatment of wastewater containing phosphorus and COD applying SACFOC process.
