Organizational Politics: Harmful Or Helpful?, Laura Porter Soares Dec 2018

Organizational Politics: Harmful Or Helpful?, Laura Porter Soares

Instructional Design Capstones Collection

Politics play a role in almost every organization – churches, schools, sports teams, and even volunteer organizations. However, the place where politics can directly impact people on a daily basis is the workplace.

Literature on organizational politics has historically focused on a negative view of politics. More recently, however, researchers have discovered that workplace politics is not inherently negative and can even include positive traits. This shift primarily began with the work of Gotsis and Kortezi in 2010 and 2011. As researchers sought to expand the perspective, they argued that organizational politics has the potential to be positive, as well. …

Can An Ideal Court Model In Private Antitrust Enforcement Be Established?, Dominik Wolski Dec 2018

Can An Ideal Court Model In Private Antitrust Enforcement Be Established?, Dominik Wolski

Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies

Any discussion of private antitrust enforcement usually focuses on substantive law and proceedings applicable to private antitrust cases. Those elements are important, however, the efficacy of both public and private enforcement relies upon rules of law (substantive and procedural) along with their application. The latter constitutes a substantial aspect affecting the institutions which make decisions in private antitrust enforcement cases, namely the relevant courts. The enforcement of competition law is inextricably intertwined with the economy and markets. As a result, antitrust cases are demanding for non-specialist judges, who usually do not have enough knowledge and experience in the field of …


(Why) Did Eu Net Neutrality Rules Overshoot The Mark? Internet, Disruptive Innovation And Eu Competition Law & Policy, Oles Andriychuk Dec 2018

(Why) Did Eu Net Neutrality Rules Overshoot The Mark? Internet, Disruptive Innovation And Eu Competition Law & Policy, Oles Andriychuk

Yearbook of Antitrust and Regulatory Studies

This essay raises a number of theses in support for a more liberalised approach to EU Net Neutrality rules. It offers a graded system of levels of regulatory intervention, arguing that soft Net Neutrality rules are capable of meeting all positive objectives of regulation without causing the problems generated by Hard Net Neutrality rules, such as those currently in place in the EU. Hard Net Neutrality rules prevent Internet Service Providers (ISPs) from making disruptive innovations. Meanwhile, they enable some Content and Application Providers (CAPs) to monopolise many markets via (disruptive) innovations, resulting in newly established dominant positions which have, …

Hes1 Notch Response Elements And Their Roles In Rbpj-K Binding, Michael Majid Khayat Dec 2018

Hes1 Notch Response Elements And Their Roles In Rbpj-K Binding, Michael Majid Khayat

Master's Theses

The Notch signaling pathway is a one of few fundamentally conserved signal transduction pathways critical for metazoan cellular development. Upon ligand activation, the Notch intracellular domain (NICD) translocates to the nucleus and forms a transcription complex with C-binding promoter factor-1 (RBPJ-k/CBF-1/Suppressor of Hairless) and Mastermind-like protein (MAM). The DNA-binding factor, RBPJ-k, binds to a response element containing a consensus sequence of RTGRGAR (where R is G or A). When RBPJ-k interacts with the NICD and MAM, Notch target genes are activated. The most well-characterized gene for Notch is Hes1. Hes1 contains four Notch response elements (NREs), labeled NRE 1-4. Of …
