Existing research shows that corporate climate actions are the result of public policies and a limited range of other factors that can influence business strategy. Managers are depicted as lacking agency in that they passively adhere to "drivers" of climate actions, with little room for autonomy. This study takes issue with such a view by examining agency vis-a-vis managers' temporal orientations.
CONTEXT: Prior research suggests that drug abuse (DA) is strongly influenced by both genetic and familial environmental factors. No large-scale adoption study has previously attempted to verify and integrate these findings. OBJECTIVE: To determine how genetic and environmental factors contribute to the risk for DA. DESIGN: Follow-up in 9 public databases (1961-2009) of adopted children and their
Purpose: An increasing incidence and improved prognosis of kidney cancer have led to concern about second primary malignancies. The study of multiple primary malignancies is also important since the association of certain malignancies may guide the search for germline alterations and environmental risk factors. We evaluated bidirectional associations between renal cell carcinoma and other primary
Background: A better understanding of the factors that influence mammography screening attendance is needed to improve the effectiveness of these screening programs. The objective of the study was to examine whether psychosocial factors predicted attendance at a population-based invitational mammography screening program. Methods: Data on cohabitation, social network/support, sense of control, and
In this population-based study of 75-year-old men (n = 498), we investigated the association between physical activity (PA) early in life and present bone mineral density (BMD). We demonstrate that a high frequency of competitive sports early in life is associated with BMD at several bone sites, indicating that increases in BMD following PA are preserved longer than previously believed. Introducti
Aims Coffee consumption is associated with a reduced risk of Type2 diabetes. Our aim was to investigate if coffee intake may also reduce the risk of latent autoimmune diabetes in adults, an autoimmune form of diabetes with features of Type2 diabetes. Methods We used data from a population-based case-control study with incident cases of adult onset (35years) diabetes, including 245 cases of latent
Popular science summary: Climate change, and its effect on nature, is presently a hot research topic. Many studies have focused on the effect of recent climate change on breeding and spring migration in birds. Several bird populations have been shown to advance migration or breeding. It has been suggested that if they do not do this they might miss optimal breeding conditions such as peak food av
In this foucauldian inspired study I understand the kind of animal body that breeding practices produces based on Nicole Karafyllis concept biofact, which is defined by her as something or someone, whose growth is controlled and thus no longer self-determined. This leads to the question how, what Giorgio Agamben calls the oikonomia of apparatus governed the morphological changes that occurred in t
The purpose of the thesis is to study how a state owned monopoly company, with historical responsibilities towards society, is affected by competition and how it uses its resources to maintain a strong position on the competitive market. The case study has been conducted by using qualitative methods. Primary data has been collected through interviews with managers and former managers within Apotek
