When corporations are faced with accusations of crime, they usually find it necessary to justify their actions to the public, the media and their shareholders. Corporate self-defense, aimed at protecting a corporation’s image and legitimacy, belongs to a broader category of offenders’ denials and neutralizations.

Vilken betydelse har det förvetenskapliga för vetenskapen? Vilka betydelser kan det ha? Ska vi som forskare eftersträva största möjliga vetenskaplighet från början till slut? Annorlunda uttryckt: Ska vi metodiskt trycka bort våra förvetenskapliga impulser? Eller ska vi tvärtom välkomna dem? Att följa varje förvetenskaplig impuls, var vi än befinner oss i forskningsprocessen, skulle förmodligen få

Wind-abraded cobbles (ventifacts) and aeolian sand are known from the sandy-gravelly coastal areas of south-western Sweden, especially in association with raised deltas. Ventifacts are recorded on at least two different stratigraphic levels, on top of glaciofluvial sediment and/or on top of littoral deposits, while aeolian sand usually forms a surficial cover. The formation of ventifacts has usual

On-Going Change in English Modality: Emancipation Through Frequency The English modal expressions BE going to, HAVE got to, and want to are often contracted to gonna, gotta, and wanna in spoken language. These contracted forms have gained both in frequency and conventionality in recent times.In this article, I present an investigation into the status of the contractions between phonetic reduction

Detta arbete har haft som målsättning att fördjupa vår kunskap om cellulosa och hur denna polymer reagerar i olika miljöer. Cellulosa är det vanligaste organiska materialet på jorden vilket gör att det är relativt lätttillgängligt, billigt, och miljövänligt. Genom att öka vår förståelse av de egenskaper som cellulosa besitter kan det bli möjligt att utveckla nya användningsområden, men också kvaliThis work is primary about development and application of electrostatic theory within the atomistic domain. The resulting procedures were implemented to eventually describe systems involving the cellulose molecule. A concluding remark about electrostatic interactions is the importance of moment cancellation. By inducing image moments which cancels the totality of the collective system moments, and

Livsmedelsstrategin beskriver en vision som innebär att den svenska livsmedelskedjan år 2030 ska vara globalt konkurrenskraftig, innovativ, hållbar och attraktiv. Men i verkligheten präglas den av främst små och medelstora företag med begränsade investeringar och lågt fokus på FoU. Samtidigt finns det ett större utbud av livsmedelsprodukter på marknaden som gör det svårt för konsumenterna att välj

During the Late Iron Age, a large variety of dogs and the earliest evidence of dog leashes appear in Scandinavia. This study is based on an analysis of the dogs in the Nabberör boat grave on the island of Öland in relation to dogs from other burials and settlements.Breeding and care of the dogs have been analysed through the integrated life stories of individual dogs, based on age, sex and health

Popular Abstract in English These days we hear a lot about sustainability and most of us try to live in a more sustainable way. We use less water and energy, we sort our household waste and we prefer to consume products that are produced with less negative human impact. However, when it comes to our own excreta we definitely think of it as waste. And we are glad enough that wastewater treatment syEutrophication or the nutrient enrichment of water bodies, typically by nitrogen and phosphorus has adversely affected the aquatic life and the quality of water. Governments have been forced to take actions in order to reduce the release of these nutrients into the environment. To date the main global effort has been to remove such nutrients at source. However, with an increase in awareness of the

Children’s rights, as a new field of study, has grown stronger in the legal area the last few years. Side by side with this development, discussion has arisen concerning the implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child as a law in Sweden. Norway implemented this convention as national law in 2003. In Sweden legal studies regarding children continue primarily to be don

Enligt Doughnut-hypotesen, tenderar diskussioner och debatter i samhället grunda sina argument och utgå från generella begrepp som “demokrati”. Problematiken i detta är att parterna i diskussionen kan ha givit olika meningar och filosofiska kärnor åt dessa generella begrepp. Detta resulterar vidare i att diskussionen cirkulerar kring en “tom mitt”, likt en doughnut, då det saknas en definierad fil

Syftet med denna uppsats är att beskriva varför företag synliggör sitt hållbarhetsarbete för sina kunder och konsumenter. Hållbarhet är ett komplext begrepp utan någon allmän erkänd definition och därför vill vi lyfta fram hur begreppet kan definieras i olika företag och om detta har någon betydelse för vad företag väljer att synliggöra. Genom vår kvalitativa ansats med textbaserade dokument och sThe purpose of this paper is to describe why companies reveal their sustainability performance for their customers and consumers. Sustainability is a complex concept without any public recognized definition, and therefore we want to highlight how the concept can be defined in different companies and if this has any bearing on what companies choose to make visible. Through our qualitative approach

Nyligen avgjordes ett mål i Arbetsdomstolen som handlade om en barnmorska som inte fått anställning på grund av att hon på religiösa grunder vägrar delta i utförandet av aborter. Hon menar att Sverige, genom att inte tillmötesgå hennes krav och anställa henne trots hennes vägran bryter mot religionsfriheten i artikel 9 och förbudet mot diskriminering i artikel 14 i den Europeiska konventionen om sRecently a case was settled in the Swedish Labour Court. A midwife had lost out on an employment because of her religiously grounded refusal to participate in abortions. Her opinion is that Sweden, by not accomodating her demands so they could hire her despite of her refusal, has breached the right to religious freedom in article 9 and the prohibition of discrimination in article 14 of the Europea

Syftet med denna uppsats är att utveckla befintliga förklaringar till internets roll i de olika stegen i en demokratiseringsprocess – liberalisering, transition respektive konsolidering. Detta görs genom en analys av demokratiseringsprocesser i Tunisien, Egypten och Bahrain under den arabiska våren, samt använda oss av teorier om internets påverkan på det moderna samhället. Dessa är formulerade av

This essay studies the relationship between institutional transparency and political trust. The study focuses on 27 countries in Europe. The existing theory regarding the relationship emphasizes different views. Some theorists claim that the two concepts are positively correlated whilst others claim the opposite. Hence, the study’s purpose: to test which of the theorists predict the correct outcom

Studien syftar att undersöka äldre personers syn på digitalisering och börjat i den breda frågeställningen “Vad tycker äldre om digitalisering?” för att sedan smalnas av till “Vad ligger bakom de äldres skeptiska attityd till digitalisering?”. För att undersöka detta har tre fokusgruppsdiskussioner hållits på mötesplatser för äldre i Malmö. Ur de inspelade diskussionerna kom fyra återkommande samt

This thesis explores how urban renewal, and the subsequent gentrification implicit in this process, alters and affects queer experiences of spaces in twenty-first century London. First, the reasons queer people move to cities are discussed using Sara Ahmed’s term orientation.To highlight the socio-political importance of queer landmarks and locales, an investigation of Shoreditch, east London is u
