CSR, Corporate social responsibility, är ett begrepp som diskuterats intensivt under senare år och avser företagens samhällsansvar. Den fråga som särskilt legat till grund för debatten är om företagens vinstintresse ska stå tillbaka för ett socialt och miljömässigt ansvarstagande. Enligt den svenska aktiebolagslagens 3 kap. 3 § ska nämligen aktiebolag, om inte annat angivits i bolagsordningen, strCSR, Corporate social responsibility, is a concept that has been discussed intensively over the last couple of years. The question that especially has formed the basis of the discussion is wether the corporations interest in profit maximisation for it stockholders should stand back in favour of social responsibility. According to Chapter 3, Paragraph 3 in the Swedish Company Act (“Aktiebolagslagen

I Sverige, liksom i många andra delar av Europa, finns en romantiserande bild av ungdomsgäng. Genom medias rapporteringar får vi ibland ta del av olika berättelser om ungdomar som sysslar med brott och ställer till med trubbel ute i förorterna. Dessutom har vi alla någon gång sett amerikanska filmer som både glamouriserar gänglivet och framställer det ur ett mycket dystert ljus. Ungdomar i gäng In Sweden, as in many other parts of Europe, we have a romanticized notion of youth gangs. Through media reports, we sometimes come to hear different stories of youths who engage in criminal activity and cause trouble out in the suburbs. Moreover, we have all seen American movies that glamourize gang life as well as present it from a very gloomy light. Youths who are involved in gangs evoke a ce

In order to reach the climate targets for the society, with significant lower proportions of CO2 emissions than today, certain actions are required. To be able to decrease the emissions, one alternative is to increase the amount of people who uses public transportation as opposed to using cars. The municipality of Åstorp is one of the districts that emits most CO2 per person and day in Scania, and

This master thesis is concerned with the site of Refshaleøen in Copenhagen and how a proposal of buildings would enhance the identity of the place, attract more people while maintaining the qualities of the old industrial area. A contradiction in itself and thus not an easy task. As method, the first steps were to document the site, attain background material and history of the site to better unde

Det finns tre grundläggande nivåer vid vilken en cell kan reglera mängden av ett visst protein. Den första nivån är i vilken omfattning den kodande delen av en gen transkriberas från DNA till RNA. Den andra delen är i vilken omfattning detta RNA, även kallat messengerRNA (mRNA), translateras till ett färdigt protein. Den tredje och sista delen är i vilken utsträckning detta protein bryts ner. RNA-RNA interference (RNAi) plays a major role in regulation of gene expression in most eukaryotic organisms. On a basic level it is a protein complex named RNA induced silencing complex (RISC) that binds a RNA strand, a micro RNA (miRNA) or a small interfering RNA (siRNA), which guides it to its intended target, an mRNA. The RISC then disrupts translation of the bound mRNA, either by restricting it t

Background and Problem Discussion: In order for companies to develop their businesses, it is vital to identify and select new market opportunities. Expanding into a new market and to develop a market entry strategy involves a great deal of market research, a thorough analysis and it takes an appropriate process to correctly assess the potential of each growth opportunity. To access and exploit the

Sammanfattning I Sverige råder fri bevisprövning med fri bevisvärdering. Det innebär att inga formella regler uppställs för hur ett bevis ska värderas eller vilka metoder som ska tillämpas av domstolen vid bevisvärderingen. Således är det teoretiskt möjligt att vid en ord mot ord situation finna det ställt utom rimligt tvivel att den tilltalade gjort som åklagaren gör gällande. Trots detta är det Summary In Sweden there is a free sifting of evidence with a free evaluation of evidence. This means that no formal rules are imposed on how evidence should be valued or the methods to be applied by the court at the evaluation of evidence. It is theoretically possible to find it beyond reasonable doubt that the accused made as the prosecutor alleges in a situation where one word stands against ano

Stakeholders are voicing concerns over the social and environmental impacts of components of Europe’s renewable energy strategy that will significantly increase the region’s demand for forest biomass. Energy companies must address these concerns if they are to manage financial, reputational, regulatory and competitive risks. Sustainability schemes may help reduce such risks by increasing the socia

Virtual communities, including communities dedicated to consumption practices, were named one of the rising modern trends. With the technological development, nowadays, people do not need actual locations to meet for being friends because multiple blooming social networks allow people to stay connected 24/7 no matter where they are in this world. This technological development has many positive ef

Recognising the critical role of forests in addressing Climate Change, a proposal being negotiated under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) is the “Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation” mechanism, or REDD+. REDD+ aims to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions by providing economic incentives to developing countries and local forest inhabitants to

Denna studie undersöker den rumsliga variationen i markens koldioxid-utflöde (CO2) i en boreal blandskog, huvudsakligen dominerad av tall (Pinus sylvestris L.) och gran (Picea abies L.) i ADVEX experimentsite i Norunda, centrala Sverige. Mätningar av markens CO2 gjordes i 72 collars omkring huvudtornet med hjälp av en LI-6250 infraröd gasanalysapparat kopplad till en hemmagjord mörkkammare. MedelvThis study investigates the spatial variation in soil carbon dioxide (CO2) efflux in a boreal mixed forest mainly dominated by Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies L.) in the ADVEX expermental site in Norunda, in central Sweden. Soil CO2 efflux measurements were performed in 72 collars around the main tower by using a portable LI-6250 infrared gas analyzer connected to a

Background: Concerns about the cardiovascular safety of medications used for the treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) remain. We aimed to compare the effects of pharmacological treatments for ADHD on haemodynamic values and electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters in children, adolescents, and adults. Methods: For this systematic review and network meta-analysis, we searched 12 e

Title: Music-esthetical productions in the educational work - a case study of the Allvar Gullstrand highschool. Problem: A problem associated with working with project- and thematic studies which result in esthetical productions is that it often demands extra effort and time beyond the schedule to carry the production through. There are no instructions saying that schools are to work with this ki

Racial discrimination is a highly topical and burning issue, of special interest in working life. Most researchers agree on that discrimination is a problem in the Swedish labour market. To counteract the ongoing discrimination, a new Anti-Discrimination Act was founded in 1999. The Racial Discrimination Act although appears to be ineffective on the basis of legal usage. Of all the legal cases abo

Sammanfattning Detta är en studie av sjuksköterskors bemötande av patienter på Sjukvårdsrådgivningen i Region Skåne. Syftet är att undersöka hur det helhetstänkande som är vanligt förekommande i teoretiska debatter om sjukvården är förankrat i den praktiska verksamheten. Jag fokuserar på bemötande som kompetens, och studerar dess plats och auktoritet i organisationen. Jag undersöker även hur helh

Antalet olovliga nyttjanden av ensamrätter har ökat under de senaste åren. En immateriell rättighet som inte kan skyddas mot intrång saknar i många avseenden värde. Tillgången av verkningsfulla och effektiva sanktioner är därför en nödvändighet. År 1994 infördes en ny sanktionsform i varumärkes-, mönster- och upphovsrättslagen, nämligen vitesförbud. Sanktionsformen skulle förse rättighetsinnehavarThe number of cases of infringements of intellectual property rights has increased in recent years. An exclusive right, which cannot be protected, lacks value in many aspects. Access to efficient and effective sanctions is therefore essential for rightsholders. In 1994, a new sanction in the Swedish copyright-, design- and trademark act was adopted. The Swedish legislator intended to provide right

China, as a huge and promising market, has always been largely exposed to and influenced by the Japanese and Korean idol industries. With various attempts trying to adopt the transnational experienced idol production within the challenging Chinese context, numerous reality television talent shows had been introduced in the past few years. After the very first boy group talent show, Idol Producer (

Uppsatsen handlar om barnets rätt att komma till tals i vårdnadsmål. Rätten fastställs i barnkonventionens artikel 12. Artikeln gäller som lag i Sverige sedan 2020. Enligt artikel 12 ska konventionsstaterna tillförsäkra det barn som är i stånd att bilda egna åsikter rätten att fritt uttrycka dessa i alla frågor som rör barnet. Vidare ska barnet i alla domstolsförfaranden och administrativa förfaraThe topic of the paper is the child's right to be heard in custody cases, as set out in Article 12 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The Convention has been in force as law in Sweden since 2020. According to Article 12, States Parties shall assure a child capable of forming his or her own views, the right to express those views freely in all matters affecting the child. Furthermore

Internet of Things (IoT), det vill säga fysiska objekt med inbyggd elektronik som kan kopplas upp mot internet och styras eller utbyta data över nätet, har idag blivit en självklar del i många personers vardag. Det kan vara allt från hälsoarmband och kylskåp, till glödlampor och termostater. Som förutspås har vi dock ännu inte sett det stora genombrottet för denna teknik och vad den kan komma att The Internet of Things (IoT), i.e. physical objects with embedded electronics that can be connected to the internet and be controlled or exchange data over the network, has become an integral part of many people's daily lives. IoT devices can be anything from fitness trackers and refrigerators to light bulbs and thermostats. However, as is being predicted, we have yet to see the major breakthr

Potential drug to reduce bacterial survival Recently there has been an increase in common bacterial infections being tolerant to available antibiotics, thus leading to a possible health crisis. Bacteria has developed tolerance through a small molecule called ppGpp, which is highly produced during a stress response (e.g., antibiotics). This molecule is responsible for the shutdown of a variety of
