Vi ämnar belysa vilka effekterna blir för ett företags image efter en förtroendekris som beror på bristfällig CSR.För att besvara vårt syfte utgår vi från vad vi anser vara relevanta teorier för att besvara vår problemformulering. Vi studerar förtroendekriser i relation till bristfällig CSR, från ett konsumentperspektiv. Konsumenternas uppfattningar studeras genom att främst undersöka attityder oc
I vår uppsats granskar vi Försvarsmaktens reklamfilmer i reklamkampanjen Har du det som krävs för att ha en åsikt? från 2010 och Välkommen till vår verklighet från 2011. Vårt intresse grundar sig i den diskussion som har förts i media, kring offentliga myndigheters intåg på den kommersiella marknaden. Kritiker ifrågasatte Försvarsmaktens reklamkampanj Har du det som krävs? då de ansåg att den visa
General terms and conditions for contract education Page 1 of 5 General terms and conditions for contract education Background The conditions for the provider to provide contract education are set out in the Ordinance on contract education at higher education institutions (2002:760). Quality of education A provider may offer contract education only if it is related to the kind of first or second-c
Background: It remains unknown if bivalirudin compared to heparin confers any additional inhibition of platelet and coagulation activation during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) after pretreatment with ticagrelor. Methods: In this substudy of VALIDATE-SWEDEHEART trial, 103 patients pretreated with ticagrelor were randomized before PPCI to heparin or bivalirudin. Blood samples wer
Aim: To evaluate the long-term success rate of treatment with the Surgisis® (Biodesign®) anal fistula plug for complex anal fistulas, assess fistula plug failure over time and compare success rates for fistula plug between a group of patients with cryptoglandular fistula and another group with Crohn's fistula. Method: This is a single-centre study of consecutive patients treated with the Surgisis®
BACKGROUND: Gastrectomy including D2 lymphadenectomy is regarded as the standard curative treatment for advanced gastric cancer in Asia. This procedure has also been adopted gradually in the West, despite lack of support from RCTs. This study sought to investigate any advantage for long-term survival following D2 lymphadenectomy in routine gastric cancer surgery in a Western nationwide population-
OBJECTIVE: To assess structural changes at peripheral entheses and the association with spinal bone formation in patients with long-standing radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA) overall and stratified by sex. METHODS: Peripheral entheses were examined cross-sectionally using ultrasound (US) in patients fulfilling the modified New York criteria for ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and assessed
Current structural fire engineering practice generally assumes that the pre-flashover fire (growth) stage has a negligible influence on structural response and therefore considers only post-flashover conditions. The Eurocode parametric fire, widely used for structural fire design, follows this approach. This thesis investigates the influence of incorporating pre-flashover temperature on the therma
Background: Registries are important in rare disease research. The Anorectal Malformation Network (ARM-Net) registry is a well-established European patient registry collecting demographic, clinical, and functional outcome data. We assessed the quality of this registry through review of the structure, data elements, collected data, and user experience. Material and methods: Design and data elements
Climate change and eutrophication are two environmental threats that can alter the structure of freshwater ecosystems and their service functions, but we know little about how ecosystem structure and function will evolve in future scenarios of climate warming. Therefore, we created different experimental climate scenarios, including present-day conditions, a 3.0 °C increase in mean temperature, an
PURPOSE: To assess how patients perceive health-related quality of life (HRQOL) after endovascular and open abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair. METHODS: Forty-two consecutive patients (33 men; mean age 74 years, range 46-81) were assessed prospectively before and after elective endovascular (n = 21) and open (n = 21) AAA repair. Aneurysm morphology dictated the type of repair. The two patient
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Differences in risk factor profiles between lacunar and other ischemic stroke subtypes may provide evidence for a distinct lacunar arteriopathy, but existing studies have limitations. We overcame these by pooling individual data on 2875 patients with first-ever ischemic stroke from 5 collaborating prospective stroke registers that used similar, unbiased methods to define ri
Purpose: Glucose concentrations are elevated in retinal cells in undiagnosed and in undertreated diabetes. Studies of diabetic patients suggest that retinal function adapts, to some extent, to this increased supply of glucose. The aim of the present study was to examine such adaptation in a model of type 2 diabetes and assess how the retina responds to the subsequent institution of glycemic contro
Popular science summary: Transcriptional regulation of HIF-2α in neuroblastoma Neuroblastoma is the most common solid tumor in childhood. The presence of hypoxia -regions of low levels of oxygen- causes a more immature tumor phenotype that is related to a more aggressive form of this cancer. Hypoxia is mainly directed by Hypoxia Inducible Factors (HIF)-1α and HIF-2α. High levels of HIF-2α expre
Balkongplattor som alternativ till bröstning i byggnadsfasaden Tidigare forskning har visat att brandspridning i bostadshus ofta sker vertikalt via fönster i byggnadsfasaden. Samtidigt visar sig nivån på brandskyddet mot detta skilja sig åt mellan olika länders byggnadsregler. Att det finns oenighet i frågan antyder att ytterligare forskning behövs inom ämnet. I avsnitt 5:553 av de svenska byggThe aim of the report was to investigate and compare the effect of horizontal projections along with different spandrel heights between the unprotected openings in the building facade. The effect was more specifically the effect on the risk level in regards to the external vertical fire spread. Furthermore, based upon the performance requirements of the Swedish building regulations (BBR), the aim
Background: Studies on exercise in knee osteoarthritis (OA) have focused on elderly subjects. Subjects in this study were middle-aged with symptomatic and definite radiographic knee osteoarthritis. The aim was to test the effects of a short-term, high-intensity exercise program on self-reported pain, function and quality of life. Methods: Patients aged 36 - 65, with OA grade III (Kellgren & La
The great decline in mortality has had a vital impact on our societies. Life expectancy has more than doubled in the past 200 years, but no acceptable explanation has yet been given for the earlier part of the decline in mortality, even though it has attracted a very broad interdisciplinary interest. When carefully examined, many of the stated explanations, such as better hygiene, more food, and i
The regional sensitivity of different vascular beds to i.v. CGRP was investigated in the albino rabbit by using the microsphere method. Experiments were performed without pre-treatment on both conscious and pentobarbital-anaesthetized animals. In addition, in one series on conscious animals, rabbits were pre-treated with indomethacin in order to reduce the formation of prostaglandins. In another s
OBJECTIVE--To investigate whether a lack of glutathione-S-transferase mu (GSTM1) activity was related to an increased risk for adverse outcome after asbestos exposure. METHODS--A study was made of 78 male former asbestos cement workers, with retrospective cohort data on exposure, radiographical findings, and lung function. Venous blood samples were obtained for the analysis of GSTM1 polymorphism b
Objective. A low tidal volume can induce alveolar derecruitment in patients with acute lung injury. This study was undertaken to evaluate whether this resulted mainly from the decrease in tidal volume per se or from the reduction in end-inspiratory plateau pressure and whether there is any benefit in raising the level of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) while plateau pressure is kept consta
