A key element for diagnosing cardiac enlargement in an autopsy setting is relevant heart weight references. However, most available references are to a large extent not representative of a medicolegal autopsy population, implying that reference weights are likely lower than those in the relevant population.To establish more applicable heart weight references in a medicolegal autopsy population, we
We investigate organizational members’ crisis sensemaking and construction ofresponsibility at the peak of a corporate scandal. We focus on those organizationalmembers, who are not directly involved in the scandal but are still affected by it, as theyare questioned about their collective and moral responsibility for being members of anorganization that has engaged in wrongdoing. Our study is based
Precision medicine is part of the logical evolution of contemporary evidence-based medicine that seeks to reduce errors and optimize outcomes when making medical decisions and health recommendations. Diabetes affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide, many of whom will develop life-threatening complications and die prematurely. Precision medicine can potentially address this enormous proble
Storytelling is an important tool of public engagement for researchers, not least for climate scholars. However, a problem arises when stories are treated instrumentally as means of delivering specific messages and as information sources. In particular, controlled experiments measuring the impact of stories on readers may misrepresent how stories work in practice. In this article, we shift perspec
The promotion of sustainable lifestyles and ecological consumer behavior is a central building block of a sufficiency-oriented society of the future. What role can an unconditional basic income play in this process?
When Corporate Social Responsibility is taken into account, several determining factors become for the development and organizational growth, in addition to always taking into account the establishment of the organizational strategy, in order to have several advantages, often in market acceptance, others with high growth and carrying out an improvement in the business image.This is clearly reflect
The Ph.D. dissertation consists of three connected, yet independent research articles, which focus on the implementation of circular economy principles in public procurement. Motivated by a curiosity for dynamics in processes of implementation I chose to investigate how actors related to processes of public procurement can implement the circular economy principles as a default. The aim of the diss
This chapter highlights how implementing circular economy principles can help companies working with sustainability to move from a reductionist and waste management approach to marketing competitive circular value propositions that intentionally design out waste (e.g. emissions and pollution) by rethinking, reinventing and redesigning the value chain. Schijvens, a Dutch family-owned corporate fash
The industrialization of agriculture and efforts to maximize yields of commodity crops are major drivers of biodiversity loss and disruption of ecosystems balance. To become more sustainable, agriculture needs to be aligned with the delivery of multiple ecosystem services, and reduce its dependency on external inputs and its negative environmental impacts. Increasing crop diversity may be a key st
In times of increasing global temperatures and apathy in the face of climatic and social crises, understanding why people do or do not act is critical. Despite high pro-environmental attitudes, most people ignore the reality of climate change in their everyday lives (Moser & Kleinhückelkotten, 2017). This may be a sign for internal conflict and attempts to protect the self from threat (Norgaar
Research shows that a significant portion of the environmental impact from products is determined already in the design phase. Implementation of principles of Circular Economy (CE) in design practice has the potential to reduce waste and to encourage reuse of resources. Since designers are responsible for the design process, it is therefore relevant to investigate whether designers are properly eq
The peer-reviewed version can be found here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvp.2024.102278Given the increasing severity of the climate crisis and, with it, rising climate anxiety, it is imperative to understand what climate anxiety is, how it functions, and how people can cope with it constructively. Nevertheless, research has often mixed different conceptualizations and operationalizations of clima
Diversification of cropping systems creates multiple benefits for the sustainable development of agroecosystems. Notably, introducing intercrops and cover crops in crop rotations allows ecient use of resources and promotes the synergy between ecosystem processes and functions (e.g. enhancing soil quality, preventing risk of build-up of pests and diseases). We used eld experiments to assess how g
Corporate Social Responsibility is used as an organizational strategy and with this power it has been established that it brings endless advantages, especially in market acceptance and growth of business image. In the country and in the department of Cochabamba, it is undergoing considerable development, growth and evolution, reaching the idea of it being used as a business strategy, to be include
