Triggering sustainability communication in a B2B context: combining action research and sensemaking
2021
PurposeThe paper explores processes associated with the adoption of corporate sustainability communication in a B2B context. It employs a combined action research and sensemaking approach to document moments that precede the initiation of external sustainability communication.Design/methodology/approachThe paper is the outcome of an action research project, where we examine the case of one industrial company that was silent on its multiple sustainability-related practices, but recently decided to become more transparent to the outside world. A processual approach to sensemaking is adopted to show how organisational and non-organisational members actively participated in meaning co-construct…

Los nuevos derechos sociales: El derecho al cuidado como fundamento del pacto constitucional
2016
ResumenNos encontramos ante un momento histórico y político que sugiere una revisión constitucional, con necesidades específicas y diferentes a las de 1978. Existen nuevas demandas que exigen que se revise el pacto constitucional. Algunas afectan directamente al catálogo de derechos, especialmente a los llamados derechos sociales, y se refieren por un lado, a la necesidad de otorgar a los derechos sociales ya reconocidos la consideración de fundamentales con todo lo que ello conlleva; y por otro, a la necesidad de crear nuevos derechos. El previsible aumento de personas necesitadas de cuidados, la escasez de servicios públicos para su asistencia, el tipo de cuidado informal prestado casi ex…
Profiling Dopamine-Induced Oxidized Proteoforms of β-synuclein by Top-Down Mass Spectrometry
2021
The formation of multiple proteoforms by post-translational modifications (PTMs) enables a single protein to acquire distinct functional roles in its biological context. Oxidation of methionine residues (Met) is a common PTM, involved in physiological (e.g., signaling) and pathological (e.g., oxidative stress) states. This PTM typically maps at multiple protein sites, generating a heterogeneous population of proteoforms with specific biophysical and biochemical properties. The identification and quantitation of the variety of oxidized proteoforms originated under a given condition is required to assess the exact molecular nature of the species responsible for the process under investigation…
