Syfte:Genom analysen av våra fallstudier, bidra till en ökad förståelse av fenomenet Social Entreprenörskap. Metod: Studien omfattar en kvalitativ forskningsmetod med en abduktivt ansats och är en multiple fallstudie på två multinationella företag; Tetra Pak och Danone Group. Teoretiska perspektiv: Under studien har vi använt oss av teorier om Socialt entreprenörskap, andra begrepp och teorier som
Climate change is a real challenge with global impacts in scope. The negative impacts of climate change are being experienced globally through raising temperatures, rising sea levels, melting ice and glaciers, extended drought and floods, soil erosion among others. The most vulnerable and affected by climate change are the developing countries that lack adaptive capacity to the impacts of climate
BACKGROUND: Recent studies have found that particulate matter (PM) attached radioactivity was associated with certain adverse health effects including increased blood pressure and lung dysfunction. However, there has been no investigation on the direct effect of PM radioactivity on mortality.METHODS: Exposures to ambient PM gamma activities were determined using U.S. EPA RadNet data. Data on daily
The (p)ppGpp-mediated stringent response is a bacterial stress response implicated in virulence and antibiotic tolerance. Both synthesis and degradation of the (p)ppGpp alarmone nucleotide are mediated by RelA-SpoT Homolog (RSH) enzymes which can be broadly divided in two classes: single-domain ‘short’ and multi-domain ‘long’ RSH. The regulatory ACT (Aspartokinase, Chorismate mutase and TyrA)/RRM
The biosynthesis of dermatan sulfate is a complex process that involves, inter alia, formation of L-iduronic acid residues by C5-epimerization of D-glucuronic acid residues already incorporated into the growing polymer. It has been shown previously that this reaction is promoted by the presence of the sulfate donor 3'-phosphoadenosine-5'-phosphosulfate. In the present investigation, the role of su
The objective of this paper is to examine the long-run relationship between CO2 emissions, economic output (GDP), and energy consumption in the US during the period 1960-2015. Energy consumption is investigated in its aggregated and disaggregated form i.e. Fossil Fuel, Nuclear, and Renewable energy to elicit a more precise diagnosis of the emission-energy-GDP nexus. The paper contributes to existi
Denna studie syftar till att utveckla ett analysverktyg för företag som överväger en reshoringstrategi. Trenden att återflytta produktion till ursprungslandet är ny, men växande och ett tomrum av teoretisk vägledning har funnits. Arbetet är av främst kvalitativ karaktär med fallstudier av svenska industriföretag som återflyttat verksamhet. Forskningsdesign kan liknas vid pattern matching (Yin, 201
Understanding foreign policy changes has been an important part of academic research for decades. During the Cold War, when national security was at its most uncertain, we saw a focus on recognizing the patterns that could lead to changes in how a state approaches their foreign policy. In 2018 Imran Khan was elected prime minister in Pakistan along with his party Pakistan Tehreek-E-Insaf. Along ca
The versatility and pervasiveness of social media websites in human life have created an opportunity to employ them in several contexts other than the merely social ones. In particular, social media have been being used by students as an additional tool to help with their studies, even when academic institutions usually provide them with educational systems (also known as learning management syste
Cambodia continues to experience a high prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) across the country. This may be attributed to the deeply embedded patriarchal customs that emphasize the subservience of women and authority of men. Previous literature has found that IPV may lead to negative health implications among victimized women, such as impaired well-being, unintended pregnancies, and HIV/
A strong brand requires that the whole company reflects one picture. If one part is not well thought out, this can destroy the picture. Elekta is a human care company whose solutions and services expresses trustworthy and caring. The aim of the project was to create packaging strategy that reflects the company’s profile, to implement a new packaging design. To achieve this, an analysis of the com
The world of social media is here to stay, and while it offers plenty of opportunities for employers and organizations it is also said to be the biggest challenge for professional com-municators. Through employee advocacy, individuals can communicate the message of their organization to their whole network with merely the click of a button. But what makes the individual want to be an ambassador fo
This study explores the renewable energy cooperation between China and the Gulf countries, particularly Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, focusing on how this collaboration addresses underlying structural asymmetries. These asymmetries include China's technological advancements, institutional frameworks, and discursive power, as well as the Gulf's resource and capital endowments.
In 2015, the United Nations General Assembly unanimously adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development with 17 Sustainable Development Goals and 169 targets. This agreement sets a 15-year plan to steer the world towards a more sustainable and equitable trajectory. However, as we have passed halfway through this agenda, the world is far from achieving most goals within this timeframe. Such la
The cytokine TGFβ1 induces epidermal Langerhans cell (LC) differentiation from human precursors, an effect mediated through BMPR1a/ALK3 signaling, as revealed from ectopic expression and receptor inhibition studies. Whether TGFβ1‒BMPR1a signaling is required for LC differentiation in vivo remained incompletely understood. We found that TGFβ1-deficient mice show defective perinatal expansion and di
