Abstract:
Risks associated with fluctuating exchange rates affect investment cost and investor profitability. Approximately 50% of firms in emerging markets have significant exposure to fluctuating exchange rates. Grounded in principal-agent theory (PAT), the purpose of this case study was to explore hedging strategies to mitigate risks of fluctuating exchange rates. The population comprised a census sampling of 12 bank hedgers (risk managers and controllers) in Dar es Salaam in Tanzania, East Africa. Data collection involved semistructured interviews, casual observations of the work environment, and an

Background:  Leader member exchange (LMX) theory focuses on the different associations established by the leaders with their followers through a system of exchanges (high quality and low exchanges), whereas a psychological contract is a tacit agreement between the employer and employee and comprises of employee's beliefs regarding the mutual obligations between the employee and an employer. Since an organization communicates and negotiates through its representatives which indicates people in managerial positions, it is meaningful to draw that the relationship quality between employee and thei

Abstract:
Although the psychological contract has been a popular topic in managerial research for the past twenty years, recent critiques of the research in this area point to several shortcomings. These are believed to result primarily from the overwhelming use of field studies, survey questionnaires, and other correlational procedures in the study of this construct. One particular research question that has generated mixed results involves the effect that oneâ s underlying contract (either transactional or relational) has on individualsâ perceptions of contract breach and feelings of violation foll

Abstract:
Internal communication is a central process by which employees exchange information, build relationships and share organisational values. Fundamental to this process is the psychological contract. However, there is limited understanding of how internal communication influences psychological contract. The study contributes to theory by demonstrating that the dimensions of internal communication independently influence internal stakeholders' psychological contract beliefs. For managers, the findings can be used as a framework to improve internal communication processes and strategies.

Abstract:
Lanthanide chelates are effective agents for improving contrast in MR images. Optimizing the relaxation of inner sphere water molecules is a common focus of research in this field. However, the efforts to design an optimal contrast agent have commonly over-looked the relationship of water position and water exchange kinetics. This work explores structural conformation, the impact of very fast water exchange kinetics on hydration, and differing tumbling rates for regioisomers of a number of lanthanide chelates. We have grown crystals of LnDOTMA and obtained structural data by X-ray diffraction

Abstract:
La formation du contrat de vente sur internet s’intègre dans le cadre général de l’économie numérique. La dématérialisation suscite des interrogations juridiques relatives à la confiance que peuvent mettre les parties dans la fiabilité de la formation du contrat lors de la rencontre de l’offre et de l’acceptation. Ces réticences ont un impact négatif sur l’évolution du e-commerce. Les législations internationales ainsi que les législations française, égyptienne et syrienne prennent en compte l’importance de cette confiance. Elles adaptent leurs lois afin d’assurer la sécurité au contrat de ven

<p>Knowledge of the relationship between <i>in vivo</i> contrast agent concentration and magnetic resonance (MR) signal response is an important requirement in contrast enhanced MR imaging in general and in MR based perfusion imaging in particular. This relationship is a complex function of the properties of the contrast agent as well as the structure of the target tissue. The aim of the present work was to quantify the effects of the iron oxide nanoparticle based intravascular contrast agent, NC100150 Injection, on proton relaxation rates in different tissue systems <i>in vivo</i> in a pig mo

Abstract:
The primary goal of this study is to investigate the combination of concrete merged with textiles. Furthermore, it investigates exchanging the characteristics of these contrasting materials. Consequently, the work shows the reciprocal influence of both textile and concrete to each other. The resulting final collection presents six pieces with the main intention to present different expressions of flexibility. These appear through the interaction of textile and concrete, with the textile providing the flexibility. Depending on the precise characteristics of the used textiles, the flexibility ca

Abstract:
This thesis develops a relational conception of consumption, exchange and contract, and applies it to understand the history and conceptual development of contract and sale of goods law and their impacts on problems of consumption and sustainability. Drawing on actor-network theory and geographies of consumption, consumer goods are understood as part of `"networks" and contract and sale of goods as particular stages within the wider processes of commodity networks. This provides the basis for a legal theory of the social and ecological role of the law of contracts, sale of goods (and other are

Abstract:
A contract signature is a particular form of digital multi-signature that only involves two signers. Contract signing plays a critical role in any business transaction, particularly in situations where the involved parties do not trust each other. One of the most significant concerns in exchange signatures is the fraudulent and unfair exchange, which occurs when one party gets the signature of another party without giving his own signature. In the view of these security concerns, this thesis presents a secure and fair contract signature scheme based on key exchange protocol. The security and p
