Though service recovery plays a key role in industrial clients’ post-recovery supplier evaluations, the impact of customers’ cultural orientation on the effectiveness of supplier-instigated proactive recovery (i.e., a supplier’s recovery efforts before clients notice/complain) remains tenuous, particularly in emerging (vs. developed) markets. Addressing this gap, we develop a model that examines (

Five novel xylosides tagged with the fluorescent probe Pacific Blue™ were synthesized and found to act as substrates for β4GalT7, a bottleneck enzyme in the biosynthetic pathways leading to glycosaminoglycans. By confocal microscopy of A549 cells, we showed that the xylosides were taken up by the cells, but did not enter the Golgi apparatus where most of the glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis occurs.

Russia has become one of the main migration hubs worldwide following the collapse of the Soviet Union. The vast majority of migrant workers travel to Russia from three Central Asian countries. However, Russian immigration laws and policies are ambiguous and highly punitive. The result is that many migrants resort to undocumented status working in the shadow economy, which places them in a disadvan

Based on a study of nurses’ social media uses during the pandemic, this article aims to illuminate how nurses used social media to position themselves as nurses and safeguard the nursing profession. Thirty semi-structured interviews were conducted with nurses in the three Scandinavian countries. Data were thematically analysed, with theoretical inspiration from Berger and Luckmann (1966). The find

The novel promoter system iodine monochloride/silver trifluoromethanesulfonate (ICl/AgOTf) was evaluated with various thioglycoside donors and saccharide acceptors, and O-glycosides were obtained in 46−82% yield. Several practical advantages of the ICl/AgOTf system over known promoter systems were observed, such as convenient handling of the reagents and absence of byproducts related to N-succinim

The purpose of this paper is to explore how people’s differentiated privileged and marginalised positions in society create instances of inclusion and exclusion in tourism. Eight authors utilised their diverse disciplinary and theoretical bases to engage in individual autoethnography and collaborative reflections of their personal experiences of being tourists and hosts. Through our Western and no

What role has music played in global colonial projects? And how has musical colonisation been implemented on a large scale? To address these questions, I analyse the work of the evangelical missionary administrators Christian Ignatius Latrobe (1756–1836) and Hans-Peter Hallbeck (1784–1840). Latrobe was a London-based music historian, composer and editor who oversaw the missionary work of the Morav

Remissyttrande av 2020 års grundlagskommittés slutbetänkande "Förstärkt skydd för demokratin och domstolarnas oberoende" (SOU 2023:12). 2020 års grundlagskommitté är en parlamentariskt sammansatt kommitté som har haft i uppdrag att utreda formerna för ändring av grundlag och behovet av att ytterligare stärka domstolarnas och domarnas oberoende långsiktigt.

The concrete sector is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions; consumes substantial amounts of natural resources and serves as a significant source of global waste. The Circular Economy approach has been put forward as the solution to these environmental issues, but the overall effectiveness of the approach has been called into question by existing research. The aim of this thesis

The death of a parent is a life-changing event, and different programmes are developed to support children. This study explored how parental bereaved adolescents were included and (inter)acted in a Swedish support programme. The conducted ethnographic field study included six adolescents, their parents, and eight volunteers. The empirical material was thematically analysed through a theoretical le

Fusobacterium necrophorum is the main causative agent of Lemierre’s syndrome, where the bacteria, following a benign initial oropharyngeal infection, cause septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein with subsequent pulmonary embolisation. Despite that data are lacking to suggest so, F. necrophorum has been described as normal tonsillar flora for decades. We investigated tonsillar carriag

Krisen visar att samverkansmodellen är negativ för såväl muslimer i Sverige som den svenska demokratin.

III-V co-integration is less mature compared to Si/Ge CMOS due to their inferior pMOS device performance. This letter adopts a novel quaternary InGaAsSb channel material in a core-shell vertical nanowire structure to overcome the limitations. A gate-last process achieves self-alignment of the drain and gate contacts. The improved electrostatics with short gate length ${L}_{\text {g}}$ = 60 nm resu

The minimum energy conformations of the four sterically reasonable SLex and SLea lactones were calculated using the molecular mechanics force-field MM2(91). The tetrasaccharide lactone involving the 3- and 2-position of the Gal moiety was found to be more stable than the 3,4-lactone both for SLex and SLea. © 1994.

Working actively to engage service users in participatory practices is both a policy expectation and a moral imperative for mental health social workers in contemporary Western mental health care. Recent research suggests that such practices of service user involvement are becoming increasingly individualised and driven by market logic. Based on an ethnographic study within a Swedish public psychi

Operando powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) is a widely employed method for the investigation of structural evolution and phase transitions in electrodes for rechargeable batteries. Due to the advantages of high brilliance and high X-ray energies, the experiments are often carried out at synchrotron facilities. It is known that the X-ray exposure can cause beam damage in the battery cell, resulting i

BACKGROUND: ACURATE neo2 is a transcatheter aortic valve implantation system consisting of a self-expanding bioprosthetic valve with supra-annular leaflet position and featuring innovations to facilitate placement accuracy and reduce paravalvular regurgitation. METHODS AND RESULTS: The goal of the Early neo2 (Early neo2 Registry of the ACURATE neo2 TAVI Prosthesis) was to gather real-life data on

In this composite panel, we would like to create an international and transcultural forum to reflect on several issues related to the collaboration between performers and scenographers.This panel will discuss questions arising from the themes proposed by the participants of this panel:* What legacies of the performer-scenographer relationship have we inherited? What kind of hierarchies and assumpt
