Issue of the study: Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is becoming a normal part of every corporate’s business. Companies are putting a lot of effort on sustainability and social responsibility due to an increase in regulations and demands from different stakeholders. Though there exists a gap between how much effort the companies put on CSR and how consumers perceive these efforts. Some compan
During the normal periods in absence of crisis, diversified firms without any excess cash as a whole, outperformed focused firms holding excess cash. During the Financial Crisis from mid 2007 to early 2009 on the other hand, focused firms holding excess cash outperformed less diversified firms and diversified firms as a group, where diversified firms with more than 2 different SIC codes performed
Bakgrund: Stora pensionsavgångar de närmaste åren kommer att leda till större efterfrågan av sjuksköterskor i framtiden. I dagsläget ser det ut att kunna bli brist på sjuksköterskor då det inte finns tillräckligt för att fylla den framtida efterfrågan. Det gäller att förbättra områden inom sjuksköterskeyrket som idag inte är så lockande. Vad sjuksköterskor tycker är viktigt med arbetsgivare är där
This study investigates the association behavior of microgel particles onto giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs). The GUVs composed of 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine(DMPC), and binary lipid mixtures of DMPC:1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine(DOPC)and DMPC:1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC), were prepared by application of an alternating electric eld, in presence of
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
The evolution of new pathogens and the increase in antibiotic resistance have alerted researchers that new approaches are needed for infection management. Here we defined the epitope responsible for antimicrobial activity in the C-terminal TFPI-2 derived peptide EDC34, and showed that the net positive charge accompanied with the length of the peptide is crucial for antimicrobial activity. In addit

A concept for a bee, - and beekeeper friendly horizontal top bar beehive for northern climates, aiming to provide a platform for discussion and further development of bee keeping methods. An ergonomic alternative to the heavy handled traditionally used vertical hives, Apivaria aims to offer an older generation a possibility to postpone retirement from beekeeping, while introducing a new generation
A prosperous garden is closely connected to our natural origin and can offer sound activities for most people. To be outside, in green environments is healty both from a psychological and a physical perspective. Most gardens require continous maintenance which can form an appreciated base for routines. When people are getting older and no longer are working, an active and meaningful life can be im
Crowdsourcing is a relatively new technique which aims to make a specific group of people contribute solutions to simple tasks or problems that are published online by some organization. For this they get some reward, which is usually economic in nature. This technique can be embraced by any kind of company, and since it is done online, it can turn out to be a bit problematic, especially when it c
In present world economy the advancement in the communication and globalization have made the physical proximity between two countries, a thing of past. In the present era, developed countries are forging trading treaties with rest of the world to be able to sustain a certain economic growth. This paper investigates the effect of one of these treaties on the Canadian employment at industry level,
Studien syftar till att, utifrån ett ledningsperspektiv, undersöka hur Bonnier AB arbetar med internkommunikation avseende koncernens gemensamma kärnvärden. Med stöd från intervjuer undersöker vi hur arbetet med kärnvärden genomförs och uppfattas av Bonnier AB:s ledning respektive chefer på dotterbolag i koncernen. Resultaten från intervjuerna visar att det finns god kunskap om koncernens gemensam
No previous investigations have been made concerning the transvarse forces influence on screws glued into glued laminated beams. The purpose with this investigation was, with the restriotians mentioned below, to examine the relations between load and deformation in above joint.
Cementbaserade material har länge varit ett av de viktigaste byggnadsmaterialen. De kännetecknas av hög hållfasthet, låg töjbarhet och därmed sprödhet. Ett sätt att över-brygga svagheterna med detta material är, förutom konventionell armering, att blanda stålfibrer i betongen. Det är inge ny ide att försöka göra cementbaserade material mer elastiska. Det gjordes redan på 1910-talet försök med stål
Cementbaserade material hax· länge varit ett av de viktigaste byggnadsmaterialen. De kännetecknas av hög tryck- och låg draghållfasthet, samt låg töjbarhet och därmed sprödhet. För att reducera nackdelarna hos betongen kan man armera med järnstänger för att öka draghållfastheten. Om det rör sig om mindre påkänningar kan armering med stålfiber,som då ska vara riktade och jämnt fördelade,vara ett br
