Responsibility and the modern corporation
Get PDFCorporate governance crises as well as human rights issues in global value chains have pushed notions of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Corporate Citizenship (CC), Triple P (People, Planet, Profit) and sustainable development onto the agenda of corporations and into the discussion of corporate governance. However, it has been argued that the CSR debate tends to rest on rather underspecified conceptions of the public corporation and corporate governance

Social ontology of the modern corporation: its role in understanding organizations
Get PDFWe explore the significance of social ontology and its capacity to inform the
specification of organizational status, architecture and capacities. We consider
how different conceptions of social ontology are critical for explicating a range
of epistemological and socio-economic questions concerning organizations and
develop a research agenda oriented to studying these issues from the perspective
of management and organization studies

Human protein C concentrate in the treatment of purpura fulminans : a retrospective analysis of safety and outcome in 94 pediatric patients
Get PDFIntroduction: Purpura fulminans (PF) is a devastating complication of uncontrolled systemic inflammation, associated with high incidence of amputations, skin grafts and death. In this study, we aimed to clarify the clinical profile of pediatric patients with PF who improved with protein C (PC) treatment, explore treatment effects and safety, and to refine the prognostic significance of protein C plasma levels. Methods: In Germany, patients receiving protein C concentrate (Ceprotin(R), Baxter AG, Vienna, Austria) are registered. The database was used to locate all pediatric patients with PF treated with PC from 2002 to 2005 for this National, retrospective, multi-centered study. Results: Complete datasets were acquired in 94 patients, treated in 46 centers with human, non-activated protein C concentrate for purpura fulminans. PC was given for 2 days (median, range 1-24 days) with a median daily dose of 100 IU/kg. Plasma protein C levels increased from a median of 27% to a median of 71% under treatment. 22.3% of patients died, 77.7% survived to discharge. Skin grafts were required in 9.6%, amputations in 5.3%. PF recovered or improved in 79.8%, remained unchanged in 13.8% and deteriorated in 6.4%. Four adverse events occurred in 3 patients, none classified as severe. Non-survivors had lower protein C plasma levels (P < 0.05) and higher prevalence of coagulopathy at admission (P < 0.01). Time between admission and start of PC substitution was longer in patients who died compared to survivors (P = 0.03). Conclusions: This retrospective dataset shows that, compared to historic controls, only few pediatric patients with PF under PC substitution needed dermatoplasty and/or amputations. Apart from epistaxis, no bleeding was observed. Although the data comes from a retrospective study, the evidence we present suggests that PC had a beneficial impact on the need for dermatoplasty and amputations, pointing to the potential value of carrying out a prospective randomised controlled trial

Depositie van Polyfosfazenen met behulp van Thermische CVD en Elektrostrictiemetingen aan Keramische spieren
No full textKeramische spieren zijn materialen die, onder invloed van een elektrisch veld, een vormverandering ondergaan. In principe ondergaat elk materiaal een vormverandering onder invloed van een elektrisch veld, maar de mate waarin dit plaatsvindt, verschilt echter per materiaal. De grootste vormveranderingen kunnen worden bereikt bij zogenaamde perovskieten. Dit soort materialen wordt bijvoorbeeld reeds toegepast in de stuureenheid van Scanning Tunneling Microscopes. Andere materialen met een relatief grote vormverandering en spiereffect zijn composieten. Composieten bestaan in allerlei vormen en kunnen uit meer dan twee materialen bestaan. Voor een keramische spier worden twee fasen gebruikt: een rubberachtige matrix met daarin een piëzo-elektrisch poeder gedispergeerd. Een polyfosfazeen is zo’n elastomeer dat als matrixmateriaal zou kunnen dienen. BaTiO3-poeder kan dienen als piëzo-elektrisch materiaal. Het afstudeeronderzoek dat is verricht, bestond uit twee delen. Ten eerste is getracht een polyfosfazeen op een substraat te deponeren (synthetiseren) met behulp van lage temperatuur thermische CVD (1). Ten tweede zijn elektrostrictiemetingen verricht aan verschillende composieten (2)…Applied SciencesToegepaste Anorganische ChemieToegepaste Macromoleculaire Stoffe
