Collective action in implementation of a “greener” performance management system.
2010
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate how different actors influenced the implementation of an environmental management system (EMS) and a performance measurement system (PMS) in a case company when the systems are eventually integrated. Another purpose is to illustrate how the frameworks of Gibson and Earley and Lovaglia et al. can be utilized to investigate the implementation of different management systems in practice. Design/methodology/approach – This paper is an interpretative case study, which utilizes qualitative methods such as semi‐structured interviews and internal documents. Findings – The results indicate the importance of maintaining a separation between the po…
The use of digital analytics for measuring and optimizing digital marketing performance
2016
Demonstrating the monetary outcomes of marketing is no longer considered a virtue but a necessity by the top management. Marketers are increasingly held accountable for their actions, yet most marketers struggle in their attempts to measure marketing performance. The emergence of digital analytics tools (e.g., Web analytics) has raised optimism of improved measurability due to its ability to track customer behavior in the digital environment. However, research lacks a clear understanding of the opportunities and limitations of digital analytics, and what it takes from an organization to make the most of its usage. The dissertation advances the knowledge in this area by investigating how ind…
L'économie matérielle de la France (1830-2015). L'histoire d'un parasite ?
2018
This article explores the long-term dynamics of material use in France over a period of 185 years. It is based on material flow accounts that are perfectly consistent with the standards of Material Flows Analysis at the national economic scale. This work - which covers domestic extraction, imports and exports - is the first long-term study of material flows for France, with annual and national data for most of the period. Our database allows us to study the evolution of French metabolism during the industrialization of the country, together with the increasing dependence on abiotic materials. We highlight a singular metabolic trajectory: that of a state that benefits from successive world-s…
Obesity and survival in operable breast cancer patients treated with adjuvant anthracyclines and taxanes according to pathological subtypes: a pooled…
2013
Obesity is an unfavorable prognostic factor in breast cancer (BC) patients regardless of menopausal status and treatment received. However, the association between obesity and survival outcome by pathological subtype requires further clarification. METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis including 5,683 operable BC patients enrolled in four randomized clinical trials (GEICAM/9906, GEICAM/9805, GEICAM/2003-02, and BCIRG 001) evaluating anthracyclines and taxanes as adjuvant treatments. Our primary aim was to assess the prognostic effect of body mass index (BMI) on disease recurrence, breast cancer mortality (BCM), and overall mortality (OM). A secondary aim was to detect differences o…
The System of Precautionary Rules For Ensuring Public Safety During a Pandemic in Japan: The Example of COVID-19
2021
Šajā bakalaura darbā tika pētīts, kādi piesardzības pasākumi sabiedrības drošības nodrošināšanai pandēmijas laikā pastāv Japānā, kādas noteikumu sistēmas tika ieteiktas iepriekšējās pandēmijās 1918. un 2009. gadā, un tika analizēta un salīdzināta piesardzības pasākumu ieviešana COVID-19 pandēmijas laikā 2020. gadā. Šī bakalaura darba mērķis bija izprast, kādi piesardzības pasākumi tiek rekomendēti kā “noteikumu sistēmas” pandēmiju laikā Japānā mūsdienās un pagātnē, un kādā mērā šādas sistēmas ir līdzīgas vai atšķiras. Izmantotās pētniecības metodes bija analītiskā un salīdzinošā. Caur šajā darbā veikto pētījumu tika noskaidrots, ka vairums Pasaules Veselības Organizācijas sabiedrības veselī…

Uniform rectifiability and ε-approximability of harmonic functions in Lp
2020
Suppose that E⊂Rn+1 is a uniformly rectifiable set of codimension 1. We show that every harmonic function is ε-approximable in Lp(Ω) for every p∈(1,∞), where Ω:=Rn+1∖E. Together with results of many authors this shows that pointwise, L∞ and Lp type ε-approximability properties of harmonic functions are all equivalent and they characterize uniform rectifiability for codimension 1 Ahlfors–David regular sets. Our results and techniques are generalizations of recent works of T. Hytönen and A. Rosén and the first author, J. M. Martell and S. Mayboroda. peerReviewed
