With the rapid production of sportswear and its price advantage, consumption has also increased significantly, which has a rather negative impact on the environment, society, and the economy. Fashion retailers and their consumers are also well aware of this, and their demands for sustainable fashion have had a strong impact on the production of sportswear and consumer behaviour in recent years. Su

Purpose: The 21st century’s focal point of sustainability obliges businesses to adjust their internal resources and operations towards a complex and dynamic environment. Previous research focused on definitional and motivational aspects of dynamic capabilities for sustainability. Hence, a research gap exists in how dynamic capabilities for sustainability are developed. Thus, this study addresses t

In the period leading up to the federal government’s May 2009 announcement of a paid parental leave scheme, there was a surge in community and media debate about the absence of such a scheme in Australia. This article explores whether this context had some bearing on bargaining outcomes during that time. We analyse data from the Australian Workplace Agreements Database to determine the incidence a

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with impaired major domains of psychology and behavior. Individuals with PTSD also have increased co-morbidity with several serious medical conditions, including autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes, raising the possibility that systemic pathology associated with PTSD might be identified by metabolomic analysis of blood. We so

Existentiella hot, inklusive hot mot jaget, samhället och planeten, förekommer genom hela livet och utgör en central del av den mänskliga erfarenheten. För att sammanföra kunskap och begrepp om hur människor kan hantera existentiella hot på ett adekvat sätt sammankallade vi en tvärvetenskaplig arbetsgrupp bestående av åtta forskare från fälten psykologi, systematisk teologi, praktisk teologi, reliExistential threats, including threats to the self, society, and the planet, are present throughout the lifespan and form a core element of the human experience. To consolidate knowledge and constructs about how people can adequately respond to existential threats, we convened an interdisciplinary working group, which consisted of eight researchers from the fields of psychology, systemic theology,

Our research aims to develop an intelligent control system for optimizing the operation of lighting systems for a jogging track in the countryside by using adaptive control methods, and optimization of built-in lighting control. Through this, lighting systems will be optimized, energy consumption will be minimized and the lighting system will be adapted to be able to handle a larger amount of loca

Syftet med vår studie är att ange och diskutera ett antal effekter för det interna arbetet i ett antal börsnoterade företag som följer koden. Vår undersökning är gjord utifrån en deduktiv ansats. För datainsamlingen har vi använt oss av en kvalitativ metod i form av intervjuer. Koden är generellt sett uppskattad bland företagen, där den framför allt bidrar till en ökad transparens. Kodens främsta

Abstract Today it is very common that some person register a domain name that is identical or confusingly similar to a hallmark that is someone’s protected property. From the owners opinion this can result in a lost of company’s goodwill and there is risk that hallmark becomes powerless. Every physical and legal person can register someone’s protected hallmark as a domain name under top – level do

Sweden passed legislation to achieve a target of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by the end of 2045. The Energy Performance of Building Directive further obliged European countries to ensure zero-energy building codes and improve the quality of indoor environments when buildings are renovated, as approximately 40% of total greenhouse gas emissions in Sweden are produced while heating buildings.

An experimental investigation was performed for convective condensation of R410A inside four micro-fin tubes with the same outside diameter (OD) 5 mm and helix angle 18°. Data are for mass fluxes ranging from about 180 to 650 kg/m2s. The nominal saturation temperature is 320 K, with inlet and outlet qualities of 0.8 and 0.1, respectively. The results suggest that Tube 4 has the best thermal perfor

This thesis is ta study of the intersection between dark green spirituality and the green movement in relation to climate change and ecological crisis, and it explores how some ecologically concerned people try to orientate themselves in facing the challenges and especially the role of spirituality in this context. The study is set in the period 2009–2015, and it is based in fieldwork conducted in

Being born in a hospital versus having a traditional birth attendant at home represents the most common early life policy change worldwide. By applying a difference-in-differences approach to register-based individual-level data on the total population, this paper explores the long-term economic effects of the opening of new maternity wards as an early life quasi-experiment. It first finds that th

Whereas bureaucracy and vertical pyramid-like organization structures have been criticized for decades, most organizations still work as complex hybrids rather than full-fledged post-bureaucratic organizations. The hierarchical decision-structure and the accompanying top-down oriented vertical communication chain is still highly alive in conjunction with an aspiration for post-bureaucratic princip

The retinoblastoma gene product (pRb) is involved in both cell cycle regulation and cell differentiation. pRb may have dual functions during cell differentiation: partly by promoting a cell cycle brake at G(1) and also by interacting with tissue-specific transcription factors. We recently showed that pRb mediates differentiation of leukemic cell lines involving mechanisms other than the induction
