We discuss how multinational enterprises (MNEs) can play a leading role and take more responsibility towards reducing inequalities by developing a global sustainability regime. We especially focus on how this may contribute towards the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). Our purpose is to identify and discuss the components and activities that are needed to develop such a stra
We use a unique source from the Swedish royal demesnes to examine the work and relative wages of women in sixteenth century Sweden, an economic laggard in the Early Modern period. The source pertains to workers hired on yearly contracts, a type more representative for historical labour markets than day-labour on large construction sites, and allows us to observe directly the food consumed by wor
BACKGROUND: Limited evidence exists to guide the management of patients with liver metastases from squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). The aim of this retrospective multicentre cohort study was to describe patterns of disease recurrence after liver resection/ablation for SCC liver metastases and factors associated with recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS). METHOD: Members of the Eur
As organizations continue to adapt and evolve to meet the challenges related to globalization and working with new collaboration technologies to bridge time and space, demands on employees’ time and attention continue to increase. Recognizing this problem and its implications, such as increased employee turnover, many companies are seeking ways to help their employees maintain a healthy balance be
The present invention relates to novel enantiomerically pure intermediary compounds containing specifically substituted tetrahydrofuran structures as well as a method for preparing such intermediary compounds of formula (I), in which the carbon atom in the 2-position has (R)- or (S)-configuration; the substituents in the 2- and 3-positions are trans-related; the substituents in the 3- and 4-positi
By employing a critical perspective toward a broad range of organizational subjects, Mats Alvesson has managed to challenge much of the conventional understanding of modern organizations and, subsequently, produce a series of alternative insights that has substantially developed organizational research and potentially enabled both organizational and societal change. While this has included the est
Lingua-Palatal #2, has been totally recomposed in 2020, and is written for four voices that use close amplification to heighten the resonant differences between the oral and nasal cavities. This should be a very strong effect, as if the listener is actually inside the cavity. Therefore, special care must be given to the microphone type and placement. It might even be possible to put microphones in
In parallel with the decrease in cost, size and weight of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and the increase of their flight autonomy, many commercial applications are rapidly arising. Most of those applications rely on a communications system between a terrestrial base station and the UAV. Due to the UAV movement, time-variant channel models are required. In this article, we propose a geometrical m
The Covid Symptom Study, a smartphone-based surveillance study on COVID-19 symptoms in the population, is an exemplar of big data citizen science. As of May 23rd, 2021, over 5 million participants have collectively logged over 360 million self-assessment reports since its introduction in March 2020. The success of the Covid Symptom Study creates significant technical challenges around effective da
Externally bonded reinforcement (EBR) was used to increase load bearing capacity of light weight aggregate concrete (LWA) masonry walls subjected to eccentric axial compression. Ladder type masonry reinforcement, high strength steel wire strips and glass fiber mesh were used for strengthening of eleven, 2.4 m high, 0.5 m long and 0.1 m thick walls. The reinforcement was applied on the dry wall sur
The ability to generate and control movement is essential for human interactions and overall well-being. Neuromuscular impairment caused by neurological injuries and diseases, such as stroke or limb amputation, severely limits the ability of affected individuals to interact with the surrounding environment, necessitating advanced strategies for rehabilitation and restoration of motor function. Vol
Although political governance guides education and research, there are options for researchers, educators and curators to act in the spirit of academic freedom. The deontological ethical guidelines stabilize the archaeological establishment no matter what kind of work. The utilitarian dimensions within archaeological research and higher education open up for critical thinking.Twisting and turning,
We introduce a novel method for extracting a fragmentation model directly from experimental data without requiring an explicit parametric form, called Histories and Observables for Monte-Carlo Event Reweighting (HOMER), consisting of three steps: the training of a classifier between simulation and data, the inference of single fragmentation weights, and the calculation of the weight for the full h
At a time of increasing environmental changes and geopolitical tensions, the need for collaboration in the Arctic is greater than ever. Top-down initiatives such as the Arctic Council have contributed to important increased collaboration and science diplomacy. Similarly, bottom-up initiatives have also played a major role in establishing diplomacy among researchers with spin-offs at government lev
The aim of this collaboration, between the division of Thermal Power Engineering and Lunds Energi AB, is to investigate the possibilities of training artificial neural networks (ANNs) with power plant operational data. For this purpose operational data from Lunds Energi's gas turbine GT10B with heat recovery unit (HRU) will be used. Furthermore a model with user interface is created to dem
As more modern technical devices with cameras are accessible to people, more photos are taken and the amount of data that is available has vastly increased. Researchers have learnt to utilise this and use images for various purposes with Deep Learning based Computer Vision. For instance, one can teach a computer to perform an automated inventory, which could be a very time consuming task. Libraria
Sedan 1970-talet har antalet rapporterade cancerfall dubblerats, dels på grund av förändrade levnadsvanor och dels på grund av bättre screeningmetoder som upptäcker cancern i tidigt skede. Tidig upptäckt av cancern i kombination med utvecklad cancerbehandling har bidragit till att risken för att avlida av cancer har minskat. Cancerbehandling sker huvudsakligen genom operation, strålbehandling elle
In an age of increasing usage of heavily interconnected platforms, graph databases have increased in popularity due to their ease of modelling these systems. This thesis will evaluate if the graph database Neo4j can be used to model Lime's CRM System efficiently by comparing the performance of Neo4j and MS SQL on queries similar to those existing in Lime CRM. To benchmark the databases, they w
