When Corporate Social Responsibility is taken into account, several determining factors become for the development and organizational growth, in addition to always taking into account the establishment of the organizational strategy, in order to have several advantages, often in market acceptance, others with high growth and carrying out an improvement in the business image.This is clearly reflect

Exploring the Interface Between Public Demand and Private Supply for Implementation of Circular Economy Principles

The Ph.D. dissertation consists of three connected, yet independent research articles, which focus on the implementation of circular economy principles in public procurement. Motivated by a curiosity for dynamics in processes of implementation I chose to investigate how actors related to processes of public procurement can implement the circular economy principles as a default. The aim of the diss

Corporate Fashion and Circular Economy – How to Manage Ethical Challenges in Marketing of B2B Textiles

This chapter highlights how implementing circular economy principles can help companies working with sustainability to move from a reductionist and waste management approach to marketing competitive circular value propositions that intentionally design out waste (e.g. emissions and pollution) by rethinking, reinventing and redesigning the value chain. Schijvens, a Dutch family-owned corporate fash

Crop diversification across scales : implications for resource use and cropping systems sustainability

The industrialization of agriculture and efforts to maximize yields of commodity crops are major drivers of biodiversity loss and disruption of ecosystems balance. To become more sustainable, agriculture needs to be aligned with the delivery of multiple ecosystem services, and reduce its dependency on external inputs and its negative environmental impacts. Increasing crop diversity may be a key st

Denial, rationalization, and suppression : How our basic psychological needs may influence why we do not act in the face of climate change

In times of increasing global temperatures and apathy in the face of climatic and social crises, understanding why people do or do not act is critical. Despite high pro-environmental attitudes, most people ignore the reality of climate change in their everyday lives (Moser & Kleinhückelkotten, 2017). This may be a sign for internal conflict and attempts to protect the self from threat (Norgaar

The Role of Designers in the Transition from a Linear to a Circular Economy

Research shows that a significant portion of the environmental impact from products is determined already in the design phase. Implementation of principles of Circular Economy (CE) in design practice has the potential to reduce waste and to encourage reuse of resources. Since designers are responsible for the design process, it is therefore relevant to investigate whether designers are properly eq

Go out or stress out? : Exploring nature connectedness and cumulative stress as resilience and vulnerability factors in different manifestations of climate anxiety

The peer-reviewed version can be found here: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvp.2024.102278Given the increasing severity of the climate crisis and, with it, rising climate anxiety, it is imperative to understand what climate anxiety is, how it functions, and how people can cope with it constructively. Nevertheless, research has often mixed different conceptualizations and operationalizations of clima

Diversifying crop rotation sequences with grain legume/cereal intercrops and legume/grass cover crops

Diversification of cropping systems creates multiple benefits for the sustainable development of agroecosystems. Notably, introducing intercrops and cover crops in crop rotations allows ecient use of resources and promotes the synergy between ecosystem processes and functions (e.g. enhancing soil quality, preventing risk of build-up of pests and diseases). We used eld experiments to assess how g

The present study reports the state of the art on the application of factors about prototyping engineering approach, using case studies of machinery manufactured by research centers of the Universidad Mayor de San Simon (UMSS) in Cochabamba-Bo-livia, to determine guidelines that allow structuring broad, analytical and intuitive prototyping strategies. The research centers linked to the case studie

Interactions of Choline and Geranate (CAGE) and Choline Octanoate (CAOT) Deep Eutectic Solvents with Lipid Bilayers

Mixtures between choline and geranic acid (CAGE) have previously been shown to insert into lipid bilayers. This may be useful for the transdermal delivery of larger pharmaceuticals, however, little is known about the mechanism of activity. By comparing the interactions between CAGE and lipid bilayers with those of a less-active, yet closely-related analogue, choline octanoic acid (CAOT), a chemica

The creation of prototypes for the design of new products is a fundamental activity in the metal-mechanic sector that contributes to Bolivia's socioeconomic development. The existence of a multitude of factors that positively or negatively affect the prototype, are encompassed in two approaches: i) prototyping engineering and ii) prototyping management. Research for the design of prototypes suitab

Parental responses and catastrophizing in online cognitive behavioral therapy for pediatric functional abdominal pain : A mediation analysis of a randomized controlled trial

Objective: To test if decreased parental protective behaviors, monitoring behaviors, and parental catastrophizing mediate relief of gastrointestinal symptoms in children 8–12 years with functional abdominal pain disorders (FAPDs). The study uses secondary data analyses of a randomized controlled trial in which exposure-based online cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) was found superior to treatmen

Antibodies against Porphyromonas gingivalis in serum and saliva and their association with rheumatoid arthritis and periodontitis. Data from two rheumatoid arthritis cohorts in Sweden

Background: Periodontitis and oral pathogenic bacteria can contribute to the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). A connection between serum antibodies to Porphyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) and RA has been established, but data on saliva antibodies to P. gingivalis in RA are lacking. We evaluated antibodies to P. gingivalis in serum and saliva in two Swedish RA studies as well as their
