Ohövliga beteenden har visats vara ett vanligt förekommande fenomen, med negativa effekter för individer, organisationer och samhället. Under de senaste två decennierna har omfattande forskningsfokus lagts på att öka kunskapen kring ohövlighet i arbetslivet, bland annat genom att undersöka utsatta, och utövare av ohövlighet. Trots detta så har färre studier undersökt hur ohövliga beteenden påverkaWorkplace incivility has been found to be a ubiquitous phenomenon, with adverse effects for individuals, organizations and society.

Unicellular photosynthetic golden algae called diatoms are one of the most abundant silicifying organisms. Diatoms take up silicon and build their frustules, in the form of biogenic silica (BSi), which have high preservation potential, and thus are found in sediments. Around 27 % of the annual dissolved silicon (DSi) delivery from the land to the ocean is retained in lakes and reservoirs in the fo

Det centrala argumentet är att mutor och korruption inte enbart tillhör ett samhälles juridiska sfär utan även dess sociala och moraliska. Om ett agerande ska anses korrupt eller hederligt, klandervärt eller klanderfritt (eller någonting däremellan) avgörs inte enbarWhat does it mean to bribe someone? What is the meaning of bribes? Questions like these have motivated this study. Its central argument is that the folk meanings of “bribes” and “corruption” depend on people’s symbolic demarcations and definitions. Corruption is something we actively define as well as something through which we define ourselves. A specific case has been used: stories about bribes

The new proxies show an increase in the interannualsummer temperature signal compared to establishedproxies, and present the potential to improve long-term performance.At high latitudes, where tree growth is mainlylimited by low temperatures, radiodensitometric measurementsof wood density
