Governance through learning: making corporate social responsibility in Dutch industry effective from a sustainable development perspective

An increasing number of firms try to implement corporate social responsibility&#13;\n(CSR) from the perspective of sustainable development. This article considers these efforts in the light of the changing relation between the state, society and the corporate sector, as a result of which governance increasingly takes the shape of a society-centred practice. The article focuses on stimulating governance through initiating learning processes among&#13;\ncompanies as a strategy for implementing CSR. It analyses the conditions under which&#13;\nlearning may take place and may translate into action. To that end, it draws from the&#13;\nexperiences of a comprehensive programme on CSR organized by the Dutch National&#13;\nInitiative for Sustainable Development (NIDO) which set out to accelerate transformation processes towards sustainable business by (i) facilitating learning among company representatives, (ii) assisting them to convey the insights gained to their respective companies, and (iii) influencing the contextual conditions that may incite companies to adopt CSR. The article argues that the ability to induce processes of learning and structural change renders the approach developed in the NIDO programme a viable contribution to realizing public policy ambitions by tapping into the dynamics of private organizations.

The expandable metal stent for tracheal obstruction.

A 10 month old boy with stridor persisting from birth was found to have tracheal narrowing secondary to myofibromatosis of the tracheal wall. An expandable metal stent was positioned across the tracheal stenosis with immediate clinical improvement. There were no complications relating to stent insertion. The child remained clinically asymptomatic and repeat bronchoscopy at nine months' follow up showed that the stent had become completely endothelialised with no evidence of granuloma formation.

Impact of Salinity on Growth and Physiological Responses of Striped Catfish Pangasionodon hypophthalmus Fingerling

Background: A 90-day experiment was conducted to study the impact of salinity on growth and physiological response of Pangasionodon hypophthalmus fingerling at the Brackish water fish farm of Central Institute of Fisheries Education (CIFE), Kakinada Centre, Kakinada, East Godavari District, Andhra Pradesh, India. Method: The study used different salinities condition such as 0 (control), 5 (T1), 10 (T2) and 15 (T3) ppt. Fingerlings (8.47±0.46 g) were gradually acclimatized to different salinities in 1000 l fibre reinforced plastic (FRP) tanks, in triplicates and fed with a commercial feed (crude protein 30%). Result: Growth indicators such as specific growth rate (SGR), feed conversion ratio (FCR), feed efficiency ratio (FRR) and protein efficiency ratio (PER) revealed that growth and survival were negatively affected above 10 ppt salinity. Significantly higher amylase and protease activities were observed up to 10 ppt group. In contrast, significantly higher cortisol (97.71±1.94 ng/ml) and glucose (113.32±2.66 mg/dl) levels in the blood were recorded in 15 ppt group. Overall, the study proved that P. hypophthalmus can be cultured in low saline water (up to 10 ppt) without affecting its growth and physiological homeostasis.

A Counter Intuitive View of the Role of the Communication Medium in Leadership and Change

We draw from psychological theories of leadership and literature on computer-mediated communication to challenge the received wisdom of the organization change literature about the need to match communication media richness to the equivocality of the task or change situation. We make the counter intuitive proposition that leaner forms of communication can be linked to higher perceptions of leadership charisma and effectiveness even in equivocal situations, and therefore can be more potent in effecting change than richer forms, under certain conditions. We discuss these conditions and the implications for organization change communications.

Two > 5-m-long sediment cores from Cascade Lake (68.38° N, 154.60° W), Arctic Alaska, were analyzed to quantify their paleomagnetic properties over the past 21,000 years. Alternating-field demagnetization of the natural remanent magnetization, anhysteretic remanent magnetization, isothermal remanent magnetization, and hysteresis experiments reveal a strong, well-defined characteristic remanent magnetization carried by a low coercivity magnetic component that increases up core. Maximum angular deviation values average < 2°, and average inclination values are within 4° of the geocentric axial dipole prediction. Radiometric ages based on 210Pb and 14C were used to correlate the major inclination features of the resulting paleomagnetic secular variation (PSV) record with those of other regional PSV records, including two geomagnetic field models and the longer series from Burial Lake, located 200 km to the west. Following around 6 ka (cal BP), the ages of PSV fluctuations in Cascade Lake begin to diverge from those of the regional records, reaching a maximum offset of about 2000 years at around 4 ka. Several correlated cryptotephra ages from this section (reported in a companion paper by Davies et al., this volume) support the regional PSV-based chronology and indicate that some of the 14C ages at Cascade Lake are variably too old.

Implementation of an Allergic Reaction Reporting Tool for School Health Personnel: A Pilot Study of Three Chicago Schools

Food allergy (FA) impacts 8% of U.S. children, thus it is critical to document allergic reactions to assist schools in managing FAs. We implemented and evaluated an online tool to assist school health personnel in tracking the characteristics of allergic reactions occurring at schools. The Online School Allergic Reaction Registry (OScARR) was modified from the Epinephrine Administration Form developed by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, adapted for integration into existing school health records, and implemented in three Chicago schools during the 2016–2017 school year. All allergic reactions occurring at participating schools were recorded by school nurses. Twenty-five percent of the 20 allergic reactions reported were characterized as anaphylaxis by school nurses. School nurses reported that they would recommend OScARR for use in other schools. Detailed data obtained from three Chicago schools underscore the importance of proper documentation to improve the understanding of the causative allergen and location and management of allergic reactions in schools.

THE STEREO LINE PLOTTER A NEW THIRD ORDER INSTRUMENT

The S.L.P.-1 is a third-order instrument that enables a topographer, using elevations in the four corners of the stereo model as control, to draw contours rapidly on photographs. This it does by the use of a plane of parallel lines that intersects the model and serves as the measuring system. Instead of removing parallax from the model, the operator deforms the plane of lines to fit the deformed surface of the model. The instrument is inexpensive and can be adapted to a number of special uses.

Nutritive value of meadows in the Northeast of Portugal

Meadows continue to be the most important source of pasture and hay for beef cattle production in the hill and upland areas in the NE region of Portugal. The aim of this study was to evaluate CP contents and IVOMD values during the year, in three harvests (spring, hay cut and autumn) under the effect of three rates of N fertilisation in seven mountain meadows. The results showed that the highest CP and IVOMD occurred in the beginning of spring when meadows are in active vegetative growth. Effects of N fertilisation on CP and IVOMD occurred only in oligotrophic meadows, but in an irregular way, and mainly on IVOMD.

BASIC CRITERIA FOR THE SAFETY OF BICYCLE PROVISIONS

The basic criteria for the design of sustainably safe bicycle provisions should be based on the cylists' movements and encounters with other traffic. The four criteria for the cylists' movements are: (1) possible manoeuvres; (2) continuation of the travel without changing the most important characteristics of the traffic provision; (3) predictability: estimating possible changes based on the layout of the infrastructure; and (4) difference between categories or routes: estimating the continuation of a route on the basis of the layout of the infrastructure. The four criteria for the encounters between cyclists and other road users are: (a) travelling in the same direction or crossing; (b) difference in speed and mass between cyclists and, for instance, motor vehicles; (c) frequency of the encounters; and (d) the regulation of the encounters, for example, by a priority rule for cyclists. This paper describes which basic criteria play a role on the different infrastructure levels. These are: (i) network; (ii) route; (iii) road section and junction; and (iv) connection. The paper discusses the combinations of the different criteria with the different levels on the basis of the following elementary triangle: function, design and use of traffic provisions. The paper also describes how the safety in a road network can be improved, and how the basic criteria should be used.

Comparison of primers for RAPD-PCR from environmental isolates of Cryptococcus neoformans, Cryptococcus albidus and Cryptococcus laurentii complex.

Various organisms have been characterized by molecular methods, including fungi of the genus Cryptococcus. The purposes of this study were: to determine the discriminatory potential of the RAPD (Random Amplified Polymorphic DNA) primers, the pattern of similarity of the Cryptococcus species, and discuss their useful application in epidemiological studies. We analyzed 10 isolates of each specie/group: C. albidus, C. laurentii complex, C. neoformans var. grubii, all from environmental source, and two ATCC strains, C. neoformans var. grubii ATCC 90112, and C. neoformans var. neoformans ATCC 28957 by RAPD-PCR using the primers CAV1, CAV2, ZAP19, ZAP20, OPB11 and SEQ6. The primers showed a good discriminatory power, revealing important differences between them and between species; the SEQ6 primer discriminated a larger number of isolates of three species. Isolates of C. laurentii showed greater genetic diversity than other species revealed by all six primers. Isolates of C. neoformans were more homogeneous. Only the primer CAV2 showed no amplification of DNA bands for C. albidus. It was concluded that the use of limited number of carefully selected primers allowed the discrimination of different isolates, and some primers (e.g., CAV2 for C. albidus) may not to be applied to some species.

Social Policy and Recent Fertility Change in Sweden

Swedens total fertility rate (TFR) after a period of decline began rising in the mid-1980s to 2.02 in 1989 which means surpassing the replacement in 1990. This trend is unlike other European or developed countries except for Iceland and Ireland with their higher TFRs. The rise occurs for women 25 years and older since the 1970s and 20-24 year olds recently which reverses the trend in the 1970s with higher fertility in the 20s instead of the 30s. There as also been a cohort shift to 27 years for the median age at 1st birth for those born between 1959-62. Most age groups above the teens now contribute to the general increase. Low-key and pronatalist policies are related to this increase. The Swedish political system has encouraged womens entry into the labor force with minimal cost to childbearing and child rearing. Expansion has contributed to greater daycare child benefits parental leave provisions parents right to part-time work and other measures. Responsible parenthood campaigns must have had an effect on the postponement of parenthood. The change may also reflect greater ease in combining career and parenthood. The spacing between children has been timed to accommodate the paid maternity leave benefits which terminate after 2 years. For example maternity leave can be 5 years for 3 children spaced 1-2 years apart. The consequence is that longterm cost to ones career is willingly sacrificed. Norway and Denmark show similar TFR trends.

Multimodal Fast–Slow Neural Network for learning engagement evaluation

Purpose Student engagement is a key factor that connects with student achievement and retention. This paper aims to identify individuals' engagement automatically in the classroom with multimodal data for supporting educational research. Design/methodology/approach The video and electroencephalogram data of 36 undergraduates were collected to represent observable and internal information. Since different modal data have different granularity, this study proposed the Fast–Slow Neural Network (FSNN) to detect engagement through both observable and internal information, with an asynchrony structure to preserve the sequence information of data with different granularity. Findings Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can recognize engagement better than the traditional data fusion methods. The results are also analyzed to figure out the reasons for the better performance of the proposed FSNN. Originality/value This study combined multimodal data from observable and internal aspects to improve the accuracy of engagement detection in the classroom. The proposed FSNN used the asynchronous process to deal with the problem of remaining sequential information when facing multimodal data with different granularity.

Modern Things on Trial: Islam’s Global and Material Reformation in the Age of Rida, 1865�1935. By Leor Halevi

Leor Halevi’s Modern Things on Trial is a worthy exploration of Muslim moral and ethical practices in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries as viewed through the prism of a select number of scholarly opinions, called fatwas. The fatwas were issued by Muḥammad Rashīd Riḍā, a Syrian émigré to Egypt who is counted among an influential group of traditionally trained Muslim reformers of this time. His supporters state that Riḍā perpetuated reform through fatwas, whereas critics point to how he hobbled reform. Halevi aims to accomplish the challenging task to show how, as the subtitle reads, “Islam’s global and material reformation” was forged by the scholarly pen and political activities of Riḍā, a figure broadly viewed as part of a moderate Salafist orientation in modern Islam. Scholars continue to unravel the complex reasons behind the religious discourses known as modern Islamic reform. Polarizing debates now riddle this scholarly...

Some Old Globular Clusters (and Stars) Inferring That the Universe Is Older Than Commonly Accepted

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has made startling discoveries regarding the early universe. It has revealed galaxies as soon as 300 million years after the Big Bang, challenging current galaxy formation models. Additionally, it has identified massive, bright galaxies in the young universe, contradicting the standard ΛCDM model&amp;apos;s age estimate of 13.8 Gyr. This prompts a re-evaluation of galaxy formation and cosmological models. There is a strong tension between JWST high-redshift galaxy observations and Planck Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) satellite measurements. Even alternative cosmological models, including those incorporating dark matter–baryon interaction, f(R) gravity, and dynamical dark have failed to resolve this tension. One possible solution is that the Universe&amp;apos;s age exceeds predictions by the ΛCDM model. The study challenges this by introducing a method based on blue straggler stars (BSs) within GCs, comparing ages with other models. The ages obtained are compared with those of other models to certify that they are equally valid. These values are comparable within the error ranges except for the clusters: NGC104, NGC 5634, IC 4499, NGC 6273 and NGC 4833, finding their respective ages to be between 14.7 and 21.6 Gyr, surpassing the commonly accepted age of the Universe. These results inferred an age for the Universe of around 26 Gyr, close to 26.7 Gyr. This value aligns that suggested by the cosmological model named Covarying Coupling Constants + TL (CCC+TL). Such a value is consistent with early universe observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The results of the present paper reinforces the advocating for a critical review of models encompassing dark mass, dark energy, and the dynamics of the Universe, particularly in explaining the presence of primitive massive galaxies, very old GCs, and very old and poor metallic stars.

Insertion Sequences within Oxacillinases Genes as Molecular Determinants of Acinetobacter baumannii Resistance to Carbapenems—A Pilot Study

Carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii is one of the major problems among hospitalized patients. The presence of multiple virulence factors results in bacteria persistence in the hospital environment. It facilitates bacterial transmission between patients, causing various types of infections, mostly ventilator-associated pneumonia and wound and bloodstream infections. A. baumannii has a variable number of resistance mechanisms, but the most commonly produced are carbapenem-hydrolyzing class D β-lactamases (CHDLs). In our study, the presence of blaOXA-23, blaOXA-40 and blaOXA-51 genes was investigated among 88 clinical isolates of A. baumannii, including 53 (60.2%) strains resistant to both carbapenems (meropenem and imipenem) and 35 (39.8%) strains susceptible to at least meropenem. Among these bacteria, all the isolates carried the blaOXA-51 gene. The blaOXA-23 and blaOXA-40 genes were detected in two (5.7%) and three (8.6%) strains, respectively. Among the OXA-23 carbapenemase-producing A. baumannii strains (n = 55), insertion sequences (ISAba1) were detected upstream of the blaOXA-23 gene in fifty-two (94.5%) carbapenem-resistant and two (3.6%) meropenem-susceptible isolates. A. baumannii clinical strains from Poland have a similar antimicrobial resistance profile as those worldwide, with the presence of ISAba1 among blaOXA-23-positive isolates also being quite common. Carbapenem resistance among A. baumannii strains is associated with the presence of CHDLs, especially when insertion sequences are present.

Compact UWB filter using inverted-T stub to stop IEEE 802.11a narrowband service

In this paper, we present a compact filter that is proposed by interconnecting microstrip with Coplanar Waveguide (CPW) structure using broadside coupling to eliminate the interference from IEEE 802.11a to Ultra-Wideband (UWB) systems. The Chebychev Type II is considered as filter design model to stop the entire WLAN spectrum ranging from 5.15 GHz to 5.875 GHz. In order to avoid the effect from this WLAN range, the filter is designed by considering -10 dB stopband from 4.6 GHz to 5.94 GHz with steeper attenuation of 21.69 dB. With the above features and comparable performance with the other filters suggested in the literature, the best size reduction achieved by the designed filter with the total size of 16 mm × 16 mm is 76%. Also, it is observed that the phase response of the filter is linear over the passband.
