Corporate social responsibility and stock market actors : A comprehensive study

Purpose– The purpose of this study is to analyse the views stock market actors have on corporate communication of corporate social responsibility (CSR) information grounded on legitimacy and stakeholder theory. Recent findings suggest that management teams experience an increased interest and demand for CSR information from the actors on the stock market and that this underlie a focus shift. This

The politics of fear, mobility, and media discourses : A case study of Malmö

This study focuses on Seved, a segregated and socioeconomically "poor" neighborhood in the city of Malmö in Sweden. It has attracted wide media coverage, a possible consequence of which is its increased stigmatization. The wide disparity between perceived or imagined fear and the actual incidence of, or exposure to, violence attests to the important role of the media in shaping mental maps and pla

Encountering the Other : Colonialism and Identity in New Sweden and Beyond

En utställning vid Lunds Universitetsbiblioteket i samband med 375-årsjubileet för grundandet av kolonin Nya Sverige år 1638 i nordöstra Amerika.An exhibition at the Lund University Library in connection with the 375th anniversary of the founding of the colony of New Sweden in 1638 in northeastern America.

Computer and smartphone continuance intention: A motivational model

This paper develops and tests a motivational model to explain the overall continuance intention to use computers and smartphones. Based on survey data from 192 undergraduate students, structural equation modeling analysis is used to report: (1) the independent effect of intrinsic motivation on the continuance intention to use computers and smartphones; (2) the independent effect of extrinsic motiv

Directed vaccination against pneumococcal disease

Immunization strategies against commensal bacterial pathogens have long focused on eradicating asymptomatic carriage as well as disease, resulting in changes in the colonizing microflora with unknown future consequences. Additionally, current vaccines are not easily adaptable to sequence diversity and immune evasion. Here, we present a "smart" vaccine that leverages our current understanding of di

Effects of facial expression on working memory

In long-term memory (LTM) emotional content may both enhance and impair memory, however, disagreement remains whether emotional content exerts different effects on the ability to maintain and manipulate information over short intervals. Using a working-memory (WM) recognition task requiring the monitoring of faces displaying facial expressions of emotion, participants judged each face as identical

Application of Robust and Adaptive Pole Placement

The previous investigation showed the usefulness of a two-degree-of-freedom configuration. Such a controller can also be designed using pole placement. An adaptive controller based on this concept is developed and applied to the problem with good results. Particular features, like selection of model structure, design parameters and excitation, are also discussed.

Time dependent study of multiple exciton generation in nanocrystal quantum dots

We study the exciton dynamics in an optically excited nanocrystal quantum dot. Multiple exciton formation is more efficient in nanocrystal quantum dots compared to bulk semiconductors due to enhanced Coulomb interactions and the absence of conservation of momentum. The formation of multiple excitons is dependent on different excitation parameters and the dissipation. We study this process within a

Strategies for Quantitative Planar Laser-Induced Fluorescence of NH Radicals in Flames

Laser-induced fluorescence imaging of the NH radical using excitation in the (0-0) and (1-0) vibrational bands of the A3Π-X3Σ– electronic transition is characterized in premixed NH3-air flames. Filtered detection for excitation of the (1-0) band is found to be beneficial for measurement conditions with a challenging background and/or interferences. Concentration evaluation for excitation in the (0

Time- and Space-Resolved SAXS Experiments Inform on Phase Transition Kinetics in Hydrated, Liquid-Crystalline Films of Polyion-Surfactant Ion "complex Salts"

Detailed time- and space-resolved SAXS experiments show the variation with hydration of liquid crystalline structures in ethanol-cast 5-80 μm thick films of polyion-surfactant ion "complex salts" (CS). The CS were dodecyl- (C12) or hexadecyl- (C16) trimethylammonium surfactants with polyacrylate (DP 25 or 6000) counter-polyions. The experiments were carried out on vertical films in humid air above
