This paper explores the role of boundary objects in the translation and transformation process of a sustainability concept-Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs)-into a firm's business practices. The qualitative case study describes the experience where a Japanese company successfully implemented SDGs and generated product innovations through its learning process. The findings of the study identi
This special publication demonstrates that the success of Swedish companies in the face of powerful global brands such as Starbucks, McDonald’s, and Burger King is not simply a matter of consumer nationalism or cultural resistance, but rather the result of the interaction between culture, institutions, and business strategy. Although Sweden appeared to be an ideal market for Starbucks, the company
In this chapter, we explore the relationship between business ethics and faith. We suggest that faith in business ethics predominantly plays the role of the therapeu-tic: It soothes the real functioning of business with various idealized conceptions of it. Unfolding this argument, we begin the chapter by showing how business ethics is largely motivated by a now-shattered faith in the capitalist en
This paper studies the macroeconomic impact of the Irish bank strike of 1966, which led to the closure of the major commercial banks for three months. We collect a variety of new evidence, such as high-frequency macro data, economic forecasts, micro data and narrative sources. Our findings suggest that the bank strike was associated with a shortfall in economic activity that punctuated a decade of
High-spin states in 60Cu are investigated on the basis of reaction-channel-selected 𝛾-ray spectroscopy. Data stem from three experiments that used the same fusion-evaporation reaction at similar beam energies. The Gammasphere 𝛾-ray spectrometer was combined with the Microball CsI(Tl) detector array and sets of liquid-scintillator neutron detectors which allowed us to identify and tag on evaporat
Drawing on the notion of imagined futures, the special issue “Retail Imagination” explores emerging transformations in the retail sector. The special issue includes seven paper presented at the 9th Nordic Retail and Wholesale conference (NRWC) 2024. In this editorial, the concept of “Retail imagination” is discussed, the main content of the selected papers is outlined, and key dimensions for imagi
OBJECT: Accurate differentiation between glioblastomas (GBM) and solitary brain metastases (MET) is crucial for treatment planning. This study evaluated the ability of amide proton transfer-weighted (APTw) MRI with and without fluid suppression (FS) to distinguish between GBM and MET.METHOD: Thirty-two patients with histopathologically confirmed GBM (n = 24) or MET (n = 8) were included. Post-proc
Climate change is escalating wildfire risk across Ontario, Canada, which has led to growing calls for a shift towards more proactive wildfire management. To better understand the current context, this thesis provides an overview of challenges to wildfire preparedness across different levels and domains of Ontario. Fourteen professionals with diverse wildfire-related backgrounds were interviewed, r
Risk assessments are commonly used as basis for decisions regarding land-use planning to ensure that land-use don’t give rise to unacceptable levels of risk. To promote well-founded decisions, it is therefore important that risk assessments are of good quality. Shortcomings in risk assessments, such as inappropriate assumptions, can potentially lead to costly or ineffective risk reduction measures
Denna studie undersöker den upplevda tryggheten i kollektivtrafiken inom Helsingborg. Syftet med studien är att identifiera faktorer som kan både öka och minska upplevelsen av trygghet i kollektivtrafiken, och på så sätt även identifiera hur den upplevda tryggheten i Helsingborg kan förbättras. Miljöer, situationer och omständigheter som upplevs särskilt otrygga identifieras och analyseras därför
This study investigates the relationship between music, cultural practice and space at Hemgården, a grassroots youth cultural centre in Lund, Sweden. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with three staff members and four regular members, alongside an analysis of 104 music event posters from 2013 to 2026, the research examines how Hemgården has evolved in response to social and political change, h
Budapest's public transport network is extensive, well-used, and broadly valued - but access to it is far from equal. This study employs a mixed methods approach to explore how public transport accessibility is experienced across different areas of the city, and what uneven mobility conditions mean for spatial inequality and social exclusion. Drawing on surveys and semi-structured interviews w
I denna kandidatuppsats har en diskursanalys genomförts av Valdajklubbens årsrapport för 2025, ”Doktor Kaos”. Mot bakgrund av klubbens internationella profil och nära kopplingar till Kreml har syftet varit att undersöka rapportens grad av oberoende i en tid av intensiv rysk utrikespåverkan i Europa. Studiens teoretiska ingångar har varit konstruktivism, strategisk kaosteori och rysk nykonservatism

Proceeding from an analysis of the social embeddedness of education, and how vulnerable the value of it is to the effects of precarious life situations and inequalities, in combination with how the right to education features in human rights law and discourse, this contribution argues that the obligation to ensure this right equally for all inevitably obligate states to address detrimental social
