Idag konsumeras det som aldrig förr, samtidigt som hållbarhetsfrågan tar allt större utrymme i debatten kring konsumtion. Det har lett till att konsumenten söker efter andra konsumtionsalternativ, ur vilket fenomenet delningsekonomin har växt fram. Delningsekonomin har i många fall betraktats som ett optimistiskt konsumtionsalternativ, eftersom det för med sig mindre klimatpåverkan än den traditio
In this paper we provide new evidence showing that fair behavior is intuitive to most people. We find a strong association between a short response time and fair behavior in the dictator game. This association is robust to controls that take account of the fact that response time might be affected by the decision-maker’s cognitive ability and swiftness. The experiment was conducted with a large an
This book is about the relation between philosophy and organization in so far as it concerns organization studies. The book, then, revolves round the interplay between philosophy, organization and organization studies. The purpose is both to ask philosophically the question ‘What is organization?’ and to question the importance of this kind of philosophical questioning for the field of organizatio
The aim of the present study is to identify the extent to which English conceptual metaphors presented in Lakoff (1980 & 1987) apply in the framework of Japanese. In addition to that, certain Japanese conceptual metaphors not present in English are identified and analyzed. The study uses mainly a corpus of written Japanese and a two dictionaries as data sources. The results have shown that the
This paper investigates whether inflation series are mean-reverting. Traditional unit root tests (ADF and KPSS tests) are conducted in the paper. These tests indicate that inflation contains a unit root. It is however well-known that traditional unit root tests have difficulties to distinguish between a unit root process and a fractionally integrated process. Hence, in this thesis, fractional inte
This paper examines the relationship between the ESG-score, including its pillars Environment, Social and Governance and market return from July 2002 through June 2018 by using the Stoxx Europe 600 index. The comparison is done by applying a portfolio approach and panel data fixed effect approach. By comparing some of the most used multifactor models, the CAPM and Fama- French three-factor model w
In advanced Parkinson's disease, l-DOPA treatment causes the appearance of abnormal involuntary movements or l-DOPA-induced dyskinesia (LID). LID results in part from l-DOPA-induced activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) in the dopamine-denervated striatum. Activated ERK triggers nuclear responses, including phosphorylation of mitogen- and stress-activated protein kinase 1 (MSK1
Derivatised polysaccharides are polymers from renewable sources of great importance in a whole range of different industries. However, only until recently have their characterisation been hampered by the lack of suitable instrumental methods or rather combination of suitable instrumentation. This review gives details on the state-of-the-art on polysaccharide analysis, especially focussing on starc
IntroductionDuring 2008, the oil price climbed from one peak to the next. Despite the fact that high grain and sugar prices – the main feed stocks for bioethanol plant – are currently causing a slow down in the realisation of bioethanol projects, the interest for renewable fuels is still increasing. In the Nordic countries, Sweden and Finland are leading the development of bioethanol production, w
In the cell, γ-tubulin establishes a cellular network of threads named the γ-string meshwork. However, the functions of this meshwork remain to be determined. We investigated the traits of the meshwork and show that γ-strings have the ability to connect the cytoplasm and the mitochondrial DNA together. We also show that γ-tubulin has a role in the maintenance of the mitochondrial network and funct
Access to clean drinking water is a human right and a necessity for life, yet many rely on precarious water sources across the world. The United Nations outlines a great aspiration in Agenda 2030 - that safe and affordable drinking water should be available for all by 2030. In Rio Grande do Sul (RS) in Brazil, more than one million residents rely on small-scale water supply solutions without conve
Intravenous thrombolysis with tissue plasminogen activator is the only proven acute therapy for ischemic stroke. This therapy has not been translated into clinical practice in the developing world primarily due to economic constraints. Streptokinase, a lower cost alternative thrombolytic agent, is widely available in developing countries where it is utilized to treat patients with acute coronary s
The relation between use of sunscreens, different host factors and malignant melanoma was investigated in a population-based, matched case-control study of malignant melanoma in the South Swedish Health Care Region, which has the highest risk for melanoma in Sweden, between 1 July 1988 and 30 June 1990. In total, 400 melanoma patients and 640 healthy controls aged 15-75 years answered a comprehens
Through research and interviews with several experts and stakeholders during the study visit in Zabrze, Poland, the main sources of air pollution in Zabrze and potential areas of intervention were identified. The project focused on residential heating in Zabrze, as coal based heating systems were identified as the main contributor to air pollution in the city. An alternative heating system scenari
Inherited retinal degenerations, collectively termed retinitis pigmentosa (RP), constitute one of the leading causes of blindness in the developed world. RP is at present untreatable and the underlying neurodegenerative mechanisms are unknown, even though the genetic causes are often established. Acetylation and deacetylation of histones, carried out by histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histon
