How do national culture and slippage work on divergent CSR interpretations: a qualitative comparison between China and Sweden from a consumer’s perspective

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) communication aims to get stakeholders' buy-in, especially consumers. However, the mainstream CSR definition comes from a corporate perspective, and consumers' understanding of CSR is overlooked in cur-rent literature. This study challenged the dominant CSR interpretation through an at-tempt to discover consumers' perceptions of CSR practices. The

The use of multi-zone modelling for tunnel fires

This paper introduces the use of a multi-zone modelling approach for analysing smoke spread in tunnels. The approach suggested in this paper is based on an existing model, i.e., the Multi-Zone Fire model developed for large spaces. The Multi-Zone Fire model has been adapted and modified for tunnel fire scenarios by including features that consider longitudinal ventilation flow, tunnel gradient and

Large-bias spectroscopy of Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states in a double quantum dot

We have performed tunnel transport spectroscopy on a quantum dot (QD) molecule proximitized by a superconducting contact. In such a system, the scattering between QD spins and Bogoliubov quasiparticles leads to the formation of Yu-Shiba-Rusinov (YSR) states within the superconducting gap. In this work, we investigate interactions appearing when one- and two-electron spin states in a double-QD ener

Burden of established cardiovascular disease in people with type 2 diabetes and matched controls : Hospital-based care, days absent from work, costs and mortality

Aims: To assess hospital-based care, work absence, associated costs, and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes with and without established cardiovascular disease (eCVD) compared to matched controls. Materials and methods: In a population-based cohort study, we analysed individual-level data from national health, social insurance and socio-economic registers for people diagnosed with type 2 d

SPATA2 restricts OTULIN-dependent LUBAC activity independently of CYLD

SPATA2 mediates the recruitment of CYLD to immune receptor complexes by bridging the interaction of CYLD with the linear ubiquitylation assembly complex (LUBAC) component HOIP. Whether SPATA2 exhibits functions independently of CYLD is unclear. Here, we show that, while Cyld−/− and Spata2−/− mice are viable, double mutants exhibit highly penetrant perinatal lethality, indicating independent functi

International practice heterogeneity in pre-transplant management of pulmonary hypertension related to pediatric left heart disease

BACKGROUND: Elevated pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) in the setting of left heart failure may contribute to poor outcomes after pediatric heart transplant (HTx), but peri-transplant management is variable.METHODS: We sought to characterize international practice by surveying physicians at pediatric HTx centers.RESULTS: We received 49 complete responses from 39 centers in 16 countries. Most res

Papperslösa och Hannah Arendts reflektion om rätten att ha rättigheter

I kapitlet diskuteras tre tolkningar av Arendt, tolkningar som alla har stöd i Arendts text men som vidareutvecklats på olika sätt av samhällsvetare och filosofer. I den första tolkningen är det bristen på tillgodoseende av mänskliga rättigheter för papperslösa om står i fokus. En viktig anledning till denna brist ligger i kopplingen mellan invandringsreglering och mänskliga rättigheter, att state

Effect of Irrigation Fluid Temperature on Recurrence in the Evacuation of Chronic Subdural Hematoma : A Randomized Clinical Trial

Importance: The effect of a physical property of irrigation fluid (at body vs room temperature) on recurrence rate in the evacuation of chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) needs further study. Objective: To explore whether irrigation fluid temperature has an influence on cSDH recurrence. Design, Setting, and Participants: This was a multicenter randomized clinical trial performed between March 16, 20

Korruption & institutionella arrangemang: En jämförande studie mellan Sverige och Island

This essay aims to examine why Sweden and Iceland, two highly developed democratic Nordic countries that appear to be similar in many aspects, have such different levels of corruption. For the past 10 years, Sweden has consistently been ranked higher than Iceland according to Transparency International. Corruption is a multifaceted problem that exists in all countries and has a negative impact on

Blir den svenska parlamentarismen alltmer presidentiell?

På grund av förändringar i världen, politiska som icke-politiska, förändras politiska system. En sådan förändring kallas presidentialisering och innebär att en process som gör att statsskick blir mer presidentlika med tiden. I forskningen råder det samstämmighet om att presidentialisering är ett faktum, även i Sverige, men studier tolkar vad presidentialisering faktiskt innebär olika. Denna uppsat
