ABSTRACT Hydraulic fracturing of the first shale gas well at Preston New Road (PNR), Blackpool, United Kingdom, in late 2018, marked the end of a 7 yr United Kingdom-wide moratorium on fracking.

Abstract:

We evaluate the effect of innovation support programs on output innovation by small and medium enterprises in traditional manufacturing industry. This focus is motivated by a definition of traditional manufacturing industry that includes capacity for innovation, and by evidence of its continued importance in European Union employment. We conducted a survey in seven European Union regions to generate the data needed to estimate pre-published switching models by means of the copula approach, from which we derived treatment effects on a wide range of innovation outputs. We find that for participa

Purpose There are different ways of implementing a corporate social responsibility (CSR) system. One interesting way of implementing a CSR system is based on standards such as SA8000 and ISO 26000. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the differences brought by the two standards in European manufacturing in CSR implementation using a survey. Design/methodology/approach Eight hypotheses were derived from an analysis of the implementation pattern for a CSR management system revealed from a review of the literature as well as from the actual two investigated standards.

Abstract:

Abstract The immunosuppressive properties of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) have been widely exploited in the clinical setting to control severe graft-versus host disease (GvHD). Although not randomized, several studies have convincingly shown that MSC can induce good clinical responses, and patients who respond exhibit much improved survival. However, the factors predictive of clinical responses have not yet been identified, and what may complicate the interpretation of the results is the potential heterogeneity of the MSC preparation, especially in the absence of any validated potency assay
