Investigating CSR Anchoring in an Organization

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to understand how Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as knowledge is anchored in an organization. The importance of this anchoring comes from the organizational need to adapt to the contextual global awareness related to CSR, amplified by the organizational transparency and exposure. Methodology: A hermeneutical approach has been taken in this thesis. We h

Metod:Kvalitativ fallstudie av sex svenska, medlemsbas

Ägarskifte-Bolagsstyrning före och efter en buyout

Syftet med studien är att jämföra och analysera bolagsstyrningen före, respektive efter, ett ägarskifte genom en buyout. Vi har studerat hur ledningens roll, organisationsstrukturen och den operativa verksamheten har förändrats. Studien är gjord genom en kvalitativ insamlingsmetod. Vi har valt att använda oss av ett fallföretag för att kunna göra en djupare analys och dra en givande slutsats. Som

Att finna och beskriva mönster i företagets utvecklingsstadier samt att belysa hur olika kategorier inom bolagsstyrning formaliseras under ett företags tillväxt. Målsättningen är att vår uppsats ska bidra till en större kunskap kring hur bolagsstyrningen faktiskt formas när företaget växer kraftigt under en begränsad tidsperiod. Uppsatsen har en abduktiv ansats med en kvalitativ utgångspunkt. Data

Membership in a complex online project organization - Experiences of co-creation at Mozilla

We aim to reinforce the importance of more qualitative empirical studies researching the particularities of co-creation efforts, in the context of new, ambiguous mutations of work and organization generated by internet technologies. While answering our research question we will look into personal accounts referring to the individual’s experience of volunteering for Mozilla, and we will contribute

Energieffektivisering - av miljonprogramet (Drottninghög)

Many houses of the “miljonprogrammet” is now facing a major improvement need, and not least in terms of energy improvement, Drottninghög in Helsingborg is one such area. It is a houses from Drottninghög that is used as an example in this report. The energy improvements addressed in this report is mainly concerning construction improvements. The building from Drottninghög is poorly insulated whit t

Fast non-ambipolar diffusion of charge carriers and the impact of traps and hot carriers on it in CsMAFA perovskite and GaAs

We performed a comprehensive study of the charge carrier diffusion in the CsMAFA perovskite, one of the state-of-the-art perovskites for photovoltaic applications, starting from the diffusion of hot carriers to the eventual trapping at the surfaces and grain boundaries. We discovered evidence of non-ambipolar diffusion by using ultrafast transient reflectance spectroscopy: by comparing the transie

Sulfonated Dopant-Free Hole-Transport Material Promotes Interfacial Charge Transfer Dynamics for Highly Stable Perovskite Solar Cells

The integration of a functional group into dopant-free hole-transport materials (HTMs) to modify the perovskite|HTM interface has become a promising strategy for high-performance and stable perovskite solar cells (PSCs). In this work, a sulfonated phenothiazine-based HTM is reported, namely TAS, which consists of a butterfly structure with a readily synthesized N,​N-​bis[4-​(methylthio)​phenyl]​an

Octahedral distortion driven by CsPbI3nanocrystal reaction temperature-the effects on phase stability and beyond

Cesium lead iodide (CsPbI3) perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) suffer from a known transformation at room temperature from their red-emitting (black) to non-emitting (yellow) phase, induced by the tilting of PbI6 octahedra. While the reported attempts to stabilize CsPbI3 NCs mainly involve Pb2+-site doping as well as compositional and/or NC surface engineering, the black phase stability in relation onl

Halogen-Bonded Hole-Transport Material Suppresses Charge Recombination and Enhances Stability of Perovskite Solar Cells

Interfaces play a crucial role in determining perovskite solar cells, (PSCs) performance and stability. It is therefore of great importance to constantly work toward improving their design. This study shows the advantages of using a hole-transport material (HTM) that can anchor to the perovskite surface through halogen bonding (XB). A halo-functional HTM (PFI) is compared to a reference HTM (PF),

Two-Dimensional Antimony-Based Perovskite-Inspired Materials for High-Performance Self-Powered Photodetectors

The ongoing Internet of Things revolution has led to strong demand for low-cost, ubiquitous light sensing based on easy-to-fabricate, self-powered photodetectors. While solution-processable lead-halide perovskites have raised significant hopes in this regard, toxicity concerns have prompted the search for safer, lead-free perovskite-inspired materials (PIMs) with similar optoelectronic potential.

Lead-free cesium titanium bromide double perovskite nanocrystals

Double perovskites are a promising family of lead-free materials that not only replace lead but also enable new optoelectronic applications beyond photovoltaics. Recently, a titanium (Ti)-based vacancy-ordered double perovskite, Cs2 TiBr6, has been reported as an example of truly sustainable and earth-abundant perovskite with controversial results in terms of photoluminescence and environmental st

Primary photocatalytic water reduction and oxidation at an anatase TiO2 and Pt-TiO2 nanocrystalline electrode revealed by quantitative transient absorption studies

Quantitative assessments of electron and hole transfer dynamics with water on anatase nanocrystalline TiO2 films were conducted by employing a series of transient absorption spectrometers. For water reduction reactions, both conduction band and trapped electrons decay with two different single exponential components with the difference in time scale of 6∼7 orders of magnitudes. The faster reaction

Manganese Doping Promotes the Synthesis of Bismuth-based Perovskite Nanocrystals While Tuning Their Band Structures

The doping of halide perovskite nanocrystals (NCs) with manganese cations (Mn2+) has recently enabled enhanced stability, novel optical properties, and modulated charge carrier dynamics of the NCs host. However, the influence of Mn doping on the synthetic routes and the band structures of the host has not yet been elucidated. Herein, it is demonstrated that Mn doping promotes a facile, safe, and l
