Green IS in SMEs
This research is inspired by the concerns of deterioration of the environment by human activities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) represent 90% of all businesses in the world. SMEs as organizational level members of societies are responsible for environmental sustainability as other society members for the damages of their business activities to the environment. The current study aims
Behövs det en reform av FN:s Säkerhetsråd?
Säkerhetsrådet ska i enlighet med art. 39 FN-stadgan vidta kollektiva åtgärder för att bevara den internationella freden och säkerheten. Säkerhetsrådet kan inom ramen för detta uppdrag vidta militära och icke-militära åtgärder under stadgans kapitel VII. För att Säkerhetsrådet ska kunna agera krävs att de fem permanenta medlemmarna Frankrike, Kina, Ryssland (Sovjetunionen), Storbritannien och USA
Dynamic changes in hepatitis C virus genotypes and sequence patterns in plasma donors exposed to reinfection
Impacts of dams on lowland agriculture in the Mekong River catchment
På den Indokinesiska halvön ligger Mekongflodens avrinningsområde. De senaste årtiondena har Kina, som innehar den nordligaste delen av flodbassängen, startat ett omfattande vattenkraftsprojekt på flodens huvudfåra. Åtta mycket stora dammar är planerade varav tre redan är byggda. Länderna som ligger nedströms från Kina, nämligen Laos, Kambodja och Vietnam har på senare tid också beslutat att bygga
Increase in upper tropospheric and lower stratospheric aerosol levels and its potential connection with Asian pollution
Satellite observations have shown that the Asian Summer Monsoon strongly influences the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) aerosol morphology through its role in the formation of the Asian Tropopause Aerosol Layer (ATAL). Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment II solar occultation and Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) lidar observations show
Permian continental paleoenvironments in Southeastern Asia: New insights from the Luang Prabang Basin (Laos)
In Laos (Southeastern Asia), Late Paleozoic sediments were identified by early French explorations across Indochina during the late 19th century (Pavie missions), but little work was undertaken to characterize the sedimentological and stratigraphical context until now. From detailed sedimentological and paleontological studies, we propose an interpretation of the depositional environment and of th
FOREIGN BRANCH CAMPUSES IN MALAYSIA : STATE ACTION AND CONSUMER CHOICES REVISITED
This research evaluates the effect and reasons of popularity of an Australian and British Branch University in Malaysia. The intention of the case study-based research was to produce an analytical overview of the countries widespread University twinning programs at local higher education institutes. The socio-economic underpinnings of the Asian Financial Crisis upon the Education sector are analyz

Farnesyl pyrophosphate is an endogenous antagonist to ADP-stimulated P2Y12 receptor-mediated platelet aggregation.
Farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) is an intermediate in cholesterol biosynthesis, and it has also been reported to activate platelet LPA (lysophosphatidic acid) receptors. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of extracellular FPP in platelet aggregation. Human platelets were studied with light transmission aggregometry, flow cytometry and [35S]GTPγS binding assays. As shown previously, FPP

Optimization of water intake systems : Based on water-carbon relationships and sustainable development goals
Achieving sustainable development goals requires strategically balancing the trade-off between water resource utilization and carbon emissions. It is of particular importance to systematically study the relationships between water conservation and emission reduction (water-carbon relationship) in a water intake system, and to optimize the water intake structure accordingly. This study proposes a m
Adopted children with cleft lip or palate, or both, require special needs cleft surgery.
In recent years adoption of children with cleft lip, with or without cleft palate (CLP), and other birth defects has become more common. The aim of the present study was to describe the characteristics and initial care and treatment of adopted children with CLP. A total of 25 children were referred to our department between 2008 and 2010, 7 (28%) of whom had bilateral CLP and 16 (64%) had unilater
Knowledge Sharing Across Borders - A Study in the IKEA World
To enter new markets is not easy. The most obvious challenge, at least judging from the majority of literature on internationalization, is to understand the new market thus taking a market(ing) perspective. External aspects of internationalization are often stressed, while internal aspects, focusing on why organizations fail, are less developed or examined. In order to better understand the intern
Long term NOAA-AVHRR GIMMS-NDVI - rainfall relationships and trends 1981 to 2003 for entire DeSurvey area of interest
The paper presents results of a study on the use of the NOAA AVHRR data for desertification monitoring on a regional-global level. It is based on processing of the GIMMS 8 km global NDVI data set. Time series of annual integrated NDVI and standardized annual NDVI anomalies from the 1981-2003 periodic means were compared with a corresponding rainfall data set (i.e. 1981-2003) as well as a historica
Hirnantian (latest Ordovician) delta C-13 chemostratigraphy in southern Sweden and globally: a refined integration with the graptolite and conodont zone successions
The delta C-13(org) chemostratigraphy of the Hirnantian and lower Rhuddanian in the biostratigraphically well-controlled Rostanga-1 drillcore from west-central Scania is used for an improved integration of the Hirnantian Isotope Carbon Excursion (HICE) with the standard graptolite zonation. In this drillcore succession, the end of the HICE corresponds to the top of the range of Metabolograptus per
Comparison of Humidified Hydrogen and Partly Pre-Reformed Natural Gas as Fuel for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells applying Computational Fluid Dynamics
A three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approach based on the finite element method (FEM) is used to investigate a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). Governing equations for heat, gas-phase species, electron, ion and momentum transport are implemented and coupled to kinetics describing electrochemical as well as internal reforming reactions. The model cell design is based on a cell from
