Grassroots innovations, values and social change: The case of a grassroots organization in Buenos Aires

This article explores the role of values (Gehman, et al. 2013; Daskalaki et al. 2019) in the emergence and evolution of Grassroots Innovations (GIs) in the context of Argentina GIs are developed by communities as a means to overcome social exclusion while at the same time strive for a better future. GIs experience an intrinsic challenge: while they address social injustice, they are not able to ad

All you need is love: affective practices of caring as individuals’ mission-driver in social entrepreneurship

Whilst mission-driven or hybrid organisations take various forms, they allshare the challenge of navigating contradictory goals to combine social and commercial benefits to different degrees (Shepherd et al., 2019). Social Enterprises (SEs) are a form of mission-driven organisation that prioritise meeting social needs by bringing goods, services or other benefits to economically or politically exc

Samiska mänskliga kvarlevor och gipsavgjutningar i Lunds universitets anatomiska samling

Detta är en sammanställning av arkiv och information som Historiska museet vid Lunds universitet har idag (2022) avseende samiska mänskliga kvarlevor samt gipsavgjutningar som museet förvaltar åt Lunds universitet. I rapporten ingår åtta samiska kvarlevor. Alla kvarlevor är inkomna till Lunds universitet under 1800-talet. Sju av kvarlevorna kommer från den svenska sidan av Sápmi, en kvarleva komme

The notion of debt in mutual credit systems: some insights from the experience of Moneda PAR

This article explores complementary currencies (CC) that work on the basis of community credit schemes in Argentina, a country often referred to as a laboratory in terms of monetary exploration. In contrast to alternative community-based monetary systems created in the global North, CC developed in the global South usually pursue the creation of supplementary currency circulation in order to addre

Financial Cooperatives: between local communities and global forces

This paper explores the role of co-operative finance in the evolution of financialization of the global economy building upon the Italian context. Whereas financialization of daily life has globally affected many individuals around the world in the last decades (Martin, 2002), this has also re-shaped the role of financial institutions in society. Earlier research has suggested that private banks h

Amyloid-like amelogenin nanoribbons template mineralization via a low-energy interface of ion binding sites

Protein scaffolds direct the organization of amorphous precursors that transform into mineralized tissues, but the templating mechanism remains elusive. Motivated by models for the biomineralization of tooth enamel, wherein amyloid-like amelogenin nanoribbons guide the mineralization of apatite filaments, we investigated the impact of nanoribbon structure, sequence, and chemistry on amorphous calc

PEPCRE: an interactive program to create, manipulate and display oligopeptides

PEPCRE is an interactive computer graphics program for the rapid construction, manipulation and display of oligopeptides. Essentially any desired conformation of an oligopeptide can be constructed in a simple and straightforward manner. The program provides various display and output possibilities. It is user-friendly and is written in FORTRAN 77 for use on inexpensive, monochrome graphics termina

Synthetic receptor analogues: preparation and calculated conformations of the 2-deoxy, 6-O-methyl, 6-deoxy, and 6-deoxy-6-fluoro derivatives of methyl 4-O-α-D-galactopyranosyl-β-D-galactopyranoside (methyl β-D-galabioside)

The 2-deoxy (7), 6-O-methyl (15), 6-deoxy (22), and 6-deoxy-6-fluoro (31) derivatives of methyl β-d-galabioside (1) have been synthesised. Thus, 7 was prepared by xanthate reduction using tributyltin hydride, whereas 22 was obtained by catalytic hydrogenation of a 6-deoxy-6-iodogalabioside. Regioselective mono-fluorination of methyl 2,3-di-O-benzoyl-β-d-galactopyranoside with Et2NSF3 and subsequen

Furanocembranoid Diterpenes as Defensive Compounds in the Dufour Gland of the Ant Crematogaster brevispinosa rochai

Two new furanocembranoid diterpenes, crematofuran [(1R∗,11R∗,12R∗)-6,19:11,12-bisepoxycembra-3,6,8(19),15-tetraene] (1) and isocrematofuran [(1R∗,3S∗,4S∗)-3,4:6,19-bisepoxycembra-6,8(19),11,15-tetraene] (2), have been isolated from the Dufour gland secretion of the Brazilian ant Crematogaster brevispinosa rochai. Their structures, including the relative configuration, have been determined by a com

What's interesting in entrepreneurial education research? Identifying conversants sharing common interests in the field

In this study, the authors develop knowledge and insights on how the perception of interestingness influences the structure and focus of conversations in entrepreneurial education (EE) research. In particular, the authors elaborate on what is perceived as interesting among different subgroups of EE researchers, and not least, how EE researchers can identify and engage in scholarly conversation wit

The Role of Fear of Missing Out and Experience in the Formation of SME Decision Makers’ Intentions to Adopt New Manufacturing Technologies

Corporate decision-makers form their intention to adopt new technology for their venture based on their perception of its usefulness and ease of use. However, the formation of this intention might be influenced by the fear of missing out (FOMO), making decision-makers fear losing their relatedness with fellow managers and leading to decisions based on irrational considerations. We draw on and exte

Rethinking political agency : The role of individuals’ engagement, perceptions and trust in transitioning to a low-carbon transport system

Although there are many technological solutions and policy approaches for transitioning to a fossil-free society, effective action is still lacking. We need a new way to address the issue, one that inspires and attracts the widest possible group of society. Against this background, the aim of this paper is to explore citizens' political agency in influencing transport policy, and the inner and out

Egressibility : Applying the concept of accessibility to the self-evacuation of people with functional limitations

The population is getting increasingly older, and old age is correlated with decreased functional capacity. In society, continuous improvements in accessibility of public environments is apparent. Together, these two factors contribute to the trend that the people that are expected to perform self-evacuation today are more diverse in abilities than ever. Functional capacity refers to the abilities
