Sustainability has begun to be embraced by more competitive and modern businesses. We believe that the issue of sustainability cannot be avoided today by any company. Organizations that are in leading positions are already trying to take advantage of sustainability and integrating it into their business models. The concept of sustainability will be introduced and a discussion is made about the cur

This document deals with the sustainability trends and the relevance of these trends to Thule AB. The purpose of this report is to advise THULE AB about the trends in sustainable development practices. This document is part of our work thesis for master’s degree in Sustainable Business Leadership Program, at Lund University, Sweden. The research was done with classmates Jorghe Cardozo, Bei Gao and

Climate change and scarcity of natural resources are the growing challenges for the present world. This results in a greater realization especially among the business communities to sustain the environment for future generation. The concept of sustainability is becoming a focal point for most of the companies. Organizations are more concerned about the ways to accomplish sustainability criteria bu

The concept of sustainability has been put forward since 1987 and from that point of time research regarding it has emerged and evolved since its appearance. Definitions of sustainability vary from person to person due to the context used, and big amount of companies have started to realize its importance and begun with searching their ways till achieving a sustainable development in today‘s tough

Syfte: Det övergripande syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om det finns skilda förutsättningar för män och kvinnor att göra karriär i revisionsbranschen. Syftet är fortsättningsvis också att kartlägga vad som utmärker de kvinnor som faktiskt når toppen. Metod: I vår uppsats har vi använt oss av både ett positivistiskt och tolkande perspektiv, då vårt syftes första del kräver ett positivisti

Det finns en problematik i hur externa intressenter ska kunna bedöma ett kunskapsföretags stabilitet utifrån extern information. I ett traditionellt tillverkande företag bedöms ofta stabilitet med hjälp av finansiella nyckeltal. De finansiella nyckeltalen är dock inte lika användbara i ett kunskapsföretag eftersom dessa företag ofta har liten andel lån och litet eget kapital. Att ett kunskapsföret

Accurate channel estimation is crucial for the design and implementation of effective equalization and beamforming techniques, contributing to the overall performance of wireless communication systems. This paper presents a novel approach for channel estimation based on an unknown system identification technique. The underlying idea is to employ the processing-in-memory (PIM) technique to implemen

Solid organ transplantation has progressed rapidly over the decades from the first experimental procedures to its role in the modern era as an established treatment for end-stage organ disease. Solid organ transplantation including liver, kidney, pancreas, heart, and lung transplantation, is the definitive option for many patients, but despite the advances that have been made, there are still sign

An accident on a passenger ferry may lead to evacuation using lifeboats or liferafts, a process that can be both complex and hazardous. This paper investigates the level of safety for passengers during evacuation based on field study and interview data. In the analysis, the eight goals of Universal Design (UD) were tailored and used to explore what ship and interior characteristics influence evacu

Introduction Efficacy trials show that evidence-based injury prevention training reduces injuries in youth athletes but effectiveness, that is, outside the controlled setting, is lower and, consequently this training has had limited public health impact. Insufficient involvement of end-users at the individual and organisational levels is identified as a main barrier to successful implementation. T

Purpose: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) can be classified into distinct histological subtypes based on the WHO nomenclature. The aim of this study was to compare the prognosis of conventional PDAC (cPDAC) against the other histological variants at the population level. Methods: The Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database was used to identify patients with microscopicall

Recension av Lennart Pehrson, Vithetens lön. En historia om rasism.

Bringing together scholars and scholar-activists from a wide range of disciplines, this groundbreaking book delves into the diversity and vibrancy of feminist activism in Xi-era China. Feminist Activism in the Post-2010s Sinosphere examines a variety of urgent feminist issues in 21st-century China, including the #MeToo movement, online misogyny, feminism in popular media, and the experiences and r

Purpose: This study aims to explore the experiences of care, psychosocial support, and psychosocial wellbeing among patients treated for COVID-19 in intensive care 12 to 18 months after discharge. Methods: This study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Semi-structured interviews were performed with 20 adult patients treated for COVID-19 12 to 18 months after being discharged fro

Solar-driven photocatalytic green hydrogen (H2) evolution reaction presents a promising route toward solar-to-chemical fuel conversion. However, its efficiency has been hindered by the desynchronization of fast photogenerated charge carriers and slow surface reaction kinetics. This work introduces a paradigm shift in photocatalyst design by focusing on the synchronization of charge transport and s

The valence photoelectron spectra (PES) of gas-phase aminobenzoic acids (meta-, ortho- and para-isomers) were measured using synchrotron radiation and calculated from first principles using Density Functional Theory (DFT) with popular hybrid exchange-correlation functionals and many-body perturbation theory using the perturbative one-shot (G0W0) and eigenvalue self-consistent (GnW0) approaches wit

Social interaction research is lacking an experimental paradigm enabling researchers to make causal inferences in free social interactions. For instance, the expressive signals that causally modulate the emergence of romantic attraction during interactions remain unknown. To disentangle causality in the wealth of covarying factors that govern social interactions, we developed an open-source video-

The development in attosecond physics allows for unprecedented control of atoms and molecules in the time domain. Here, ultrashort pulses are used to prepare atomic ions in specific magnetic states, which may be important for controlling charge migration in molecules. Our work fills the knowledge gap of relativistic hole alignment prepared by femtosecond and attosecond pulses. The research focuses

Wetland hydrological dynamics often dictate the composition of biological communities found in or near wetlands, either directly or through changes in vegetation composition. However, much remains unknown, particularly regarding how riparian arthropods respond to such dynamics. In this study, we used high-resolution hydrological data, along with presence of grazing livestock and shoreline vegetati
