Det övergripande syftet med vår studie är att undersöka om företag har förändrat sitt hållbarhetsarbete på grund av den lågkonjunktur som inleddes år 2008. De företag vi har valt att studera har sedan några år tillbaka upprättat hållbarhetsredovisning enligt GRIs ramverk och har stort fokus på hållbarhet inom sin verksamhet. Vår studie är gjord utefter en kvalitativ forskningsmetod och är en multi
Member States of the EU have authority to set up national tax systems in line with their national policies. While Member States maintain sovereignty over direct taxation, this power is constrained by EU law, including the State aid rules. National tax rulings can sometimes result in certain undertakings gaining advantages. The EU has rules regulating aid measures, to combat distortion of competiti
Sepsis remains a major clinical challenge due to the limited efficacy of existing therapies in controlling excessive inflammation. The engineered stapled peptide sHVF18, derived from an evolutionarily conserved thrombin innate fold, binds both lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and the LPS-binding groove of CD14, enabling dual targeting of bacterial components and host immune signaling. To define structural
While culture “stresses social life as such: individuals in their relations to others” , this thesis paper deals with culture alongside notions of values, beliefs and national preference/interest. The cultural aspect will shed into light by a wider perspective – the influence it has among European Union´s social and political life. Within EU, the United Kingdom holds high gains and strong financia
The particularities surrounding the way decentralized multinational companies are structured and governed can determine the success or failure of integrating sustainability aspects into their units’ approach of doing business. The choice of pursuing a decentralized avenue over a headquarter-driven one in managing sustainability can have a significant influence over the coherence of Group1-wide str

Optimal management of the commons to ensure sustainability relies on community management. Despite widespread knowledge of this, conventional wisdom is locked into how much the state should regulate the market. Free market ideology, defined as neoliberalism, promotes a culture of extreme competition and individualism which stand in contrast to the needed cultures of participation and inclusion for
This essay examines the different views on the inauguration of ”baby boxes” in the Polish society. The public debate in Poland has long been infused by catholic rethorics. The setting-up of ”baby boxes” in the Polish society has been warmly welcomed by conservatives in the country. The catholic church has taken on the responsibilty for the ”baby boxes”, and today most of the operating boxes in the
Alunskiffern är en svart till mörkbrun lerskiffer av mellankambrisk till tidig ordovicisk ålder med ett högt organiskt innehåll. Skiffern innehåller också stora mängder spårelement och är känd för sitt höga inne-håll av bland annat uran och pyritbundet svavel. Alunskifferns speciella sammansättning avspeglas i dess bildnings-miljö som antas sakna moderna analogier. Idag förekommer den svenska alunThe alum shale is a black to dark brown shale of middle cambrian to early ordovician age and has a high organic content. Certain trace elements are also abundant and the shale is known for large amounts of uranium, and sulfur associated with pyrite. The unique constitution of the alum shale is reflected in its depositional environment which is assumed to lack any modern analogy. The Swedish alum s
Inflammatory airway diseases and lower respiratory tract infections are leading causes of severe illness, disability and death worldwide. Much of today´s hypotheses about the underlying inflammatory processes and pathogenic contribution by immune cells come from in vitro experiments or animal models. As a consequence, our knowledge of the actual immunopathological events in real patient tissues is
The most common and lethal bacterial pathogens have co-evolved with the host. Pathogens are the aggressors, and the host immune system is responsible for the defence. However, immune responses can also become destructive, and excessive innate immune activation is a major cause of infection-associated morbidity, exemplified by symptomatic urinary tract infections (UTIs), which are caused, in part,
In this perspective article, we provide recommendations for strengthening the policy framework for protecting the Baltic Sea from agricultural nutrient pollution. The most striking weakness is the lax implementation of prescribed abatement measures, particularly concerning manure management, in most countries. Institutions of the EU should also be leveraged for achieving Baltic Sea Action Plan (BS
Recognizing individual variability is essential for developing targeted, personalized medical interventions. Vocal fatigue is a prevalent symptom and complaint among occupational voice users, but its identification has yielded mixed results. Vocal fatigue is a complex issue with heterogeneous biophysiological responses to vocal demands among individuals. This research aims to classify individuals
Geomagnetic field models constrained by direct observations extend back some 400 years and the magnitude of decadal to centennial variations that they display is often assumed to be typical of the secular variation over longer timescales. Here we present archaeomagnetic directions from layered Neolithic hearths in Orkney, dating to around 3000 BCE, that challenge this assumption. Combining stratig
OBJECTIVES: This is a protocol for a Cochrane Review (intervention). The objectives are as follows: To assess the benefits and harms of immunosuppressants with or without corticosteroids compared to corticosteroid monotherapy for the treatment of IgG4-related disease in people 18 years or older.
Background Recent decades have witnessed tangible improvements in childhood cancer survival. However, the prognosis for children with congenital heart disease (CHD), the most prevalent birth defect, remains unclear. Due to improved survival of CHD and childhood cancer, evaluating outcomes within this intersection is important for clinical practice. We aimed to assess mortality post-cancer diagnosi
With the abundance of data and digital traces of human behavior that are currently available, and the accessible algorithmic analyses to analyze them, management scholars have the opportunity to expand their scope of theoretical discovery and tackle increasingly complex management. However, we need additional elaboration on how algorithmic analysis can augment humans inference making, and how to b
Abstract in UndeterminedDifferential in-gel electrophoresis (DIGE) experiments allow three protein samples to be run per gel. The three samples are labeled with the spectrally resolvable fluorescent dyes, Cy2, Cy3, and Cy5, respectively. Here, we show that protein-specific dye effects exist, and we present a linear mixed model for analysis of DIGE data which takes dye effects into account. A Java
