Full textSince the middle of the last decade many examples av unsustainable business activities has been revealed, while media and NGOs have shown the public that many companies have failed to take a social and environmental responsibility. Scandals involving corrupt leaders, unacceptable bonus systems and discrepancies in many company's production conditions, has unfortunately become more common. This has lead to an intense debate about company responsibility towards society, in which there are many opinions both for and against a greater responsibility.
The concept Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has arisen as a counterforce against corporate negligence and is a field in witch companies can improve their social and environmental impact on society. CSR is an umbrella term for companies economical, ethical, social and environmental responsibilities and the concept has no univocal definition. The aim with this essay is therefore thru a qualitative method, to try and describe the concept of CSR's broad meaning. Many companies across the world are today working with CSR. To illustrate how the concept can be interpreted, this essay also contains a section that describes the two clothing companies Odd Molly and WeSCs interpretations of CSR.
Companies today work with CSR mainly because of two reasons that both have a consequential approach, where the consequences of the company's actions are supposed to be as good as possible, so that the company will gain competitive benefits on the market. The main reason companies work with CSR, is that many costumers today prefer to buy products and services from companies who take a wider responsibility towards society. The second reason is that many companies are afraid to receive a media focus that will reflect negatively over their businesses. To minimize the chances of being reviewed by media, many companies therefore choose to work with CSR "silently", which the survey of Odd Molly and WeSCs CSR-work exemplifies.
Sedan mitten på förra seklet har många exempel på ohållbart företagande uppdagats, då media och NGOs visat allmänheten att många företag brustit i sitt sociala och miljömässiga ansvarstagande. Skandaler med korrupta chefer, orimliga chefsbonusar och brister i många fabrikers produktionsförhållanden har tyvärr blivit allt vanligare. Detta har lett till en intensiv debatt kring företagens ansvarstagande i samhället, inom vilken det finns åsikter både för och emot ett ökat ansvarstagande.
Begreppet Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) har vuxit fram som en motkraft till företagens ansvarslöshet och är ett arbetsområde inom vilket företag kan arbeta för att utöka sitt sociala och miljömässiga ansvarstagande. CSR är ett paraplybegrepp för företagens ekonomiska, etiska, sociala och miljömässiga ansvarstagande och begreppet har ingen entydig definition. Syftet med denna uppsats är därför att genom en kvalitativ metod försöka redogöra för begreppet CSR mångbottnade betydelse. Många företag världen över arbetar idag med CSR och för att illustrera hur begreppet kan tolkas innehåller uppsatsen ett avsnitt som redogör för klädföretagen Odd Molly och WeSCs tolkningar av begreppet.
Att företag idag arbetar med CSR har främst två anledningar som båda innebär ett konsekvensetiskt synsätt, där konsekvenserna av företagets agerande ska bli så bra som möjligt, så att företaget ska kunna vinna konkurrensfördelar. Det första skälet till att företag arbetar med CSR, är att många kunder idag föredrar att handla produkter och tjänster av företag som tar ett ökat samhällsansvar. Den andra anledningen är att många företag är rädda för att få ett medialt fokus som reflekterar negativt över verksamheten. För att minska sina chanser att bli granskade väljer därför många företag att arbeta med CSR i "det tysta", vilket undersökningen av Odd Molly och WeSCs CSR-arbete även bekräftar.
Mattsing, Jenny, and Katarina Wikman. "CSR från teori till praktik : En branschöverskridande komparativ analys av fyra svenska företa." Thesis, KTH, Industriell ekologi, 2016. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-188627.
Full textThe concept of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) means that companies have a responsibility for the impact its activities have on society. The responsibility is to identify problem areas and issues affecting the company’s stakeholders, that is, customers, employees, suppliers, shareholders, and local communities and then actively acts in a responsible manner towards them. There is a clear gap between theories about what CSR is and should include and how companies use CSR as a strategy in their business. There is no clarity about what corporate responsibility is and should be. It is likely that different industries, despite major differences, also have common denominators in terms of identified challenges. It is of interest to identify these differences and similarities in a cross- industry comparison in order to understand how companies should work with their CSR strategies. The purpose of this study is primarily to investigate how Swedish companies in various industries implement strategic sustainability work in their business. The study intends to identify how companies communicate their work in the areas of environmental and social responsibility, and to identify common factors and differences linked to the implementation of strategic CSR. The study comprises four Swedish companies that are listed and leading within their respective industry: ABB, Electrolux, H&M and SEB. This study consists of both a literature review in order to examine the scientific research in the area of CSR and also includes a series of interviews conducted with the companies. The literature review shows that the academic development of CSR as a concept has come to a standstill since modern research in the field exclusively refer to previous studies. Because of the confusion about the concept of CSR Swedish companies are using the term sustainability when they describe their strategic work in the field of CSR. The results show that there has been an industry- specific adaptation of the concept of CSR in terms of both interpretation and practical application. There are no real differences in how companies are working strategically with CSR, as all companies in this study apply to the same policies and guidelines for stakeholder analysis, materiality analysis etc. The main difference is which activities the strategies result in. Here you see the differences between different industries, since the established areas of priority are closely linked to the companies’ own operations. It is not obvious whether companies should take social responsibility. Nor is it possible to determine how much and what kind of social responsibility companies should take in excess of its own operations. However, it is possible to determine that a company is inevitably influenced by society, since a company consists of people. The conclusion is that the bigger a company is, the more responsibility can and should it take.

Full textTitle: Profitable CSR: Are intangible assets necessary to earn money on CSR? Level: Student thesis, final assignment for Bachelor Degree in Business Administration Author: Anita Johansson and Rikard Andersson Supervisor: Jan Svanberg Date: 2018 – may Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether intangible assets constitute the missing link in the bidirectional relationship between CSP and CFP. The aim was also to investigate if the growth phase affects the strength of the relationship. Method: The study assumes a positivistic research philosophy with a hypothetical-deductible approach. Secondary data have been collected from the database Thomson Reuters. Time perspective that has been used is called longitudinal design using data from eleven years and this data has been analyzed in SPSS. Result & Conclusions: The result provides evidence that intangible assets act as a partial mediator of the positive bidirectional relationship between CSP and CFP. However, the impact of intangible assets in the bidirectional relationship between CSP and CFP depending on growth phase does not show any evident result and cannot be established. Contribution of the thesis: The study provides proof that there is a mediating effect from the intangible assets of the bidirectional relationship between CSP and CFP. Even though our result of growth as a variable is not strengthened, this can be the basis for further research and, in spite of everything, has contributed to more knowledge. Our results contribute to the theoretical knowledge that future research can build on while corporate executives can invest in intangible assets while achieving financial goals. Suggestions for future research: One suggestion for future research is to include private companies who are missing public sustainable reporting. If another selection is included, it can make the result more justified. Since our study did not bring an evident result about the impact of the growth phase it would have been interesting if further research could be a comparative study. Since it takes time to build up intangible assets a comparison between the same companies during a period of high growth to a period of stagnant growth, could show a more evident result of the impact of the intangible assets.

Full textThe purpose of this study is to analyze the voluntariness of Corporate Social Responsibility, CSR. This is a trend that many organizations choose to implement. CSR is built on voluntary guidelines and rules which can be adopted and modified by the organization. This thesis questions the voluntariness of these voluntary guidelines and rules. The study is a qualitative text analysis where the mechanisms that affect the voluntariness of CSR within organizations are visualized. This thesis is based on three public organizations reporting on how organizations present CSR. The theory that has been used is the new institutional theory and CSR literature. The conclusion of this study shows that there are four mechanisms that affect the voluntary nature of CSR: legitimacy, environmental demands, myths and isomorphism. Organizations surroundings affect the voluntary nature of CSR thus the organization is in need of ambient legitimacy. We found environmental requirements and expectations to have impact on the organizations and how they choose to work with CSR. By seeing CSR as a myth, one can understand the CSR phenomenon as less voluntary than it can be perceived at first glance. Organizations that implement CSR tend to be isomorphic in how they describe social responsibility. This study contributes to an understanding of the environmental impact on organizations' voluntary accountability and the importance of organizational studies with an environmental perspective.

Full textBegreppet ansvarsredovisning har många olika meningar, och har fått en allt större betydelse för företagens kommunikation. Samhället ställer krav på organisationernas och företagens etik, sociala ansvar och miljöansvar enligt litteraturen. Trots dessa krav är företagens och organisationernas ansvarsredovisning till stor del frivillig. Den lågkonjunktur som råder i Sverige och i övriga världen kan också antas ha påverkat kraven på företagen, att ta ett större samhälligt ansvar. Allmänheten ställer också större krav på att informationen redovisas på ett korrekt sätt, och att informationen är tillförlitlig.
Syftet med denna uppsats är att utifrån studiens frågor beskriva innebörden av begreppet ansvarsredovisning. Resultatet visar att ansvar har en teknisk innebörd som kräver tekniska färdigheter och kommunikation, men har även en social dimension som blir allt viktigare. Hur kan ansvarsredovisning beskrivas i ett organisatoriskt sammanhang, samt den tekniska dimensionen av ansvarsredovisningen? Vi har studerat organisationen ur ett organisatoriskt perspektiv. Studiens resultat karakteriseras genom två olika former, den sociala och den tekniska.
Studien är baserad på det induktiva perspektivet. Undersökningsstrategin är deskriptiv och explorativ. Vi använder en multipel teoretisk referensram för att berika analysen av insamlade materialet.
Tillämpning av multipla teorier resulterade i en i en klar koppling mellan teori och praktik. Företag och organisationer vill framstå i ”god dager” i media som en ansvarsfull enhet.Ansvarsredovisning balanserar förhållandet mellan intressenters krav och företagens och organisationernas ansvar.Ansvarsredovisningens betydelse ökar stadigt, trots att lagkravet för ansvarsredovisning är minimalt. Vi tror att ansvarsredovisningen har kommit för att stanna.

Full textAbstract Purpose: This study aims at analyzing Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in the financial sector. CSR has been under debate and companies are expected to manage their businesses responsibly. Companies’ tendency to communicate about, but not act in these questions have been discussed and criticized. Companies often see CSR as a communicational issue and as a strategy to build a legitimate brand. The financial sector has not been subject for these kinds of discussions since they are not considered to have a great impact on societal issues, especially not environmental issues. Therefore, this study aims at shedding new light on CSR-issues in the financial sector, since today there are indications that also banks should pay attention to these questions. By studying one of Sweden’s four major banks, SEB, the authors examine why SEB works with CSR, how they translate CSR to fit their unique business, and how they communicate their CSR-commitments to gain trust and legitimacy. Method: To examine this, a qualitative case study has been made, and a semi-structured interview method has been used to collect material. This method has been supplemented with secondary material like annual reports and other. Results: In conclusion, the authors see proof that CSR has been institutionalized within the banking sector. SEB has put much emphasis on integrating their sustainability commitments into their core business, both by integrating responsibility aspects into the daily activities, and by developing concrete projects with responsibility profiles. This is done to create a long-term sustainable platform on which SEB:s business can grow. The results also show that SEB communicate their sustainability commitments with caution. However, the sustainability team reports to the chief of communications, which suggests that this question is of importance from a communications- and brand image perspective. Their strategy to “act first, talk after”, is a strategy that can be successful from a legitimacy point of view.

Full textI dagens samhälle ställs det allt fler krav på att företag ska ta ett socialt ansvar och idén corporate social responsibility (CSR) påverkar företag och deras verksamhet. Ett totalt socialt ansvar innefattar att företag ska gå med ekonomisk vinst, följa lagar och förordningar som råder på marknaden samt en etisk skyldighet i form av agerande i enlighet med intressenters normer och förväntningar på företaget. Utöver detta ska företag agera som goda samhällsmedborgare. För företag i en bransch där verksamheten grundas på skadliga produkter blir det diskutabelt huruvida de lever upp till ett etiskt ansvar eller inte. Företag i tobaksbranschen är exempel på sådana och syftet med den här undersökningen är att analysera och jämföra fyra tobaksbolags respektive presentation av CSR. Undersökningen behandlar British American Tobacco, Philip Morris International, House of Prince och Swedish Match som alla bedriver verksamhet på den svenska marknaden. Genom en kvalitativ innehållsanalys av respektive företags hemsida skapade vi kategorier för att kunna klarlägga och jämföra företagens arbete med CSR. Vår undersökning visade att samtliga företag i undersökningen ägnar sig åt CSR men i olika stor utsträckning. Philip Morris International, British American Tobacco och Swedish Match visade på ett totalt socialt ansvar, medan House of Prince inte presenterar något arbete inom filantropiskt ansvar. Därmed kunde vi konstatera att CSR inte har implementerats likadant inom tobaksbranschen.
In today’s society the demands regarding companies’ social responsibility increases and the idea of corporate social responsibility (CSR) affects companies and their business. A total social responsibility for companies includes economical success, following existing laws and regulations on concerned markets and an ethical obligation to act in accordance with norms and expectations held by stakeholders. Furthermore companies should act as good citizens. For companies in an industry where the business is based on unhealthy products it is questionable whether they meet the demand of ethical responsibility or not. Examples of this kind of companies are those in the tobacco industry, therefore the purpose of this thesis is to analyse and compare four tobacco companies presentation of CSR. The survey was made on British American Tobacco, Philip Morris International, House of Prince and Swedish Match which are all represented on the Swedish market. Through qualitative content analyses of each company’s website we made categories in order to clarify and compare each company’s work with CSR. Our survey showed that all concerned companies work with CSR but to a different extend. Philip Morris International, British American Tobacco and Swedish Match showed a total social responsibility while House of Prince showed no work within philanthropic responsibility. We could therefore state that CSR has been implemented differently within the tobacco industry.

Full textHuvudämnet i den här forskningsstudien är kopplingen mellan upprätthållandet legitimering av CSR och hållbarhetsredovisningen. I den här forskning studien undersöks hur företagens legitimitet kan skadas av en skandal. Uppsatsen tar en noggrannare titt på 8 företag som har varit med om en skandal och undersöker om och hur de försöker legitimera sig själv före och efter en skandal. Studien är skriven utifrån en kvalitativ innehållsanalys där vi har undersökt och använt företagens hållbarhetsredovisning som underlag till vårt studie i de här fallet. Vi har kodifierat hållbarhetsrapporterna där vi har sökt efter underliggande teman genom en abduktiv analys. Vårt resultat tyder på att organisationer siktar för att likna efter en substantiell managementstil efter en skandal, där fokus har varit att försöka tillfredsställa intressenterna. Ansvar över skandalen avviker beroende på hur stor skandalen är i hänsyn till vårt resultat. Resultatet i vår studie är anekdotisk dock får vi tillhandahålla en bas för vidare forskning gällande det här området. Vårt resultat har vi även analyserat med hjälp av teorin som vi har tillhandahållit, legitimitets teorin, CSR i teori och intressentteori.

A presente dissertação de mestrado trata das diversas relações que existem entre as amplitudes de espalhamento em nível de árvore da teoria de Yang-Mills. Mais especificamente, estudamos a dedução das relações de Kleiss-Kuijf e das relações BCJ. Discutimos a conjectura de que é possível, com essas relações, escrever uma amplitude de N-pontos em nível de árvore em termos de (N – 3)! subamplitudes. Abordamos também a dedução de tais relações utilizando ferramentas da teoria das cordas, reproduzindo os resultados encontrados com teoria de campos, visto que esta é recuperada ao tomarmos o limite de baixas energias na teoria de cordas. Com isso, demonstramos formalmente que a base mínima para as subamplitudes de Yang-Mills possui de fato dimensão (N – 3)!. Apresentamos, também, algumas aplicações das relações BCJ, a saber, a sua aplicação nas amplitudes da gravitação de Einstein e no cálculo de amplitudes em nível de loops.

Full textAs people in today's society have become more aware of sustainability issues, the demand for sustainable enterprises has increased. This has resulted that many companies have chosen to voluntarily begin to implement the sustainability report to show that they are good actors in society and thereby achieve legitimacy. The purpose of this study is to create an understanding of how legitimacy can be pursued in service companies sustainability report by describing how sustainability reporting has developed over time and to identify the underlying causal factors for why reporting change and development has occurred over time. To address the purpose of the study, a longitudinal study of Sweden's four major banks has been conducted. The study was conducted through both the content analysis of sustainability reports, from when the banks began to sustainability report to the latest published, as well as through interviews with three of the major banks. Based on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) categories of corporate social responsibility (financial, environmental and social impacts), changes in the banks communication has been identified. The analysis of the categories shows that the underlying factors why changes in the major banks Sustainability reports has occurred over time is due to the GRI’s guidelines have changed, current issues in the world and society have changed, which meant that certain issues have a larger space in the Sustainability reports. Banks also adapts the content of the sustainability report according to what their stakeholders demand and the requirements they place on the banks, which is consistent with the institutional theory. Further, the major banks also capture what their competitors has reported to find out what seems best. The report on the social impact has over time become more increasingly significant in sustainability accounting, while accounting for banks' environmental impact been on a downward trend. This has been explained by stakeholders' increasingly awareness regarding sustainability issues and that they are now demanding more information about organizations social impacts than they previously did, when the demand for environmental information was great. A bank's direct environmental impact is also expected to be relatively limited given their actual operations, which has also lead to decrease about the reporting of the environmental impacts.

Full textBackground: In 2007 the World Bank issued the first green bond in the world in co-operation with SEB. Vasakronan issued the first green corporate bond in 2013 and since then the market has expanded. Green bonds have the same financial characteristics as traditional bonds, the difference being that the proceeds from green bonds have to finance environmental or climate friendly projects. Green bonds give incentives to investors and issuers to implement sustainable investments and projects. Aim: The purpose of the thesis is to examine and analyze motives and economic incentives behind the participation of players in the Swedish green bond market. In addition, the thesis maps out the institutional conditions that enabled the emergence of green bonds and highlight the future challenges and prospects. Completion: This thesis is a qualitative study of 13 interviews conducted by the authors. The interviewees represent the following groups: issuers, investors, banks and certifiers. A literature review about green bonds is provided to illustrate the characteristics of green bonds and the market. The empiric material is analyzed using institutional theory, game theory, financial theory and CSR theories, as well as previous research about CSR and SRI. Conclusion: A number of institutional conditions and individual actions have contributed to the rise and development of the Swedish green bond market. The motives and economic incentives that apply to all the players in the market are the opportunity to enhance a green and sustainable profile, the fact that green bonds have the same financial characteristics as traditional bonds and that they include a green feature. Future challenges for the growth of the green bond market include the development of standards and to increase the supply of green bonds.

Full textCompanies of today cannot be seen as isolated entities. Instead, they work in an institutionalenvironment surrounded by actors creating, editing and circulating norms. The notion of CSR,Corporate Social Responsibility, as one of these norms has been gradually accepted amongbusiness managers. However, something that is not yet clear is how to communicate CSR in acredible way in order to gain legitimacy and enhance good reputation.In corporate PR and communications departments, the social media is gaining more and moreattention due to advantages such as personal interactions with stakeholders, etcetera. Thepurpose of the thesis is to explore the reputational effects of CSR communication through socialmedia. A thorough literature study of institutional theory has brought a hypothesis with threeimportant dimensions of CSR communication; the importance of uniformity to gain legitimacy,uniqueness to stand out in the crowd and co-opting to enhance a dialogue.

Full textBakgrund och introduktion: Miljöredovisning uppmärksammades på 1980-talet när Världskommissionen för miljö och utveckling fick ett uppdrag av FN att utreda sambandet mellan ekonomisk utveckling och miljöförstöring. I samband med detta blev även hållbarhetsredovisning en ny punkt för många företag. Men att exakt säga vad hållbarhetsredovisning är för något är mycket svårt. År 1996 gjorde den dåvarande statliga Redovisningskommissionen en utredning om det skulle införas en ändring i årsredovisningslagen som skulle tvinga företagen att rapportera om miljöfrågor i sin års- eller koncernredovisning. Redovisningskommissionens rapport ledde till att Sveriges Riksdag införde ett krav på miljörapportering ett år senare. Under årens lopp därefter har bland annat CSR-begreppet blivit ett mycket centralt begrepp i företagsstrategi och sedan år 2008 måste att alla statliga företag upprätta hållbarhetsredovisning enligt GRI. Efter många år med fokus på miljö och hållbarhet tror Bino Catasús att vårt ursprung, etnicitet är på väg tillbaka. Sören Bergström håller med och menar att »people« är det nya i utvecklingsmönstret.Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att förklara upplysningar om personal som finns i företags hållbarhetsredovisning år 2009.Metod: Uppsatsen har genomförts med en dokumentstudie där 56 noterade (på Stockholm Nasdaq OMX) företags hållbarhetsredovisningar från år 2009 ingår. Framtagningen av checklistan (se bilaga 1) gjordes genom att ta hjälp av litteraturgenomgångens olika delar såsom till exempel legitimitet om vad som är rätt eller fel. Men även utifrån de kriterier som GRI sätter upp för riktlinjer om vad en hållbarhetsredovisning bör innehålla som till exempel arbetsförhållanden.Slutsatser: Utifrån vad analysen visar kan det konstateras att av de sex beroende variabler som är med i undersökningen så är det bara en av dem (diversitet) som inte gått att finna något samband överhuvudtaget. De resterande fem beroende variablerna finns det samband på ett eller annat vis med de oberoende variblerna. Dock skall det kommenteras att bland de oberoende variablerna är det bara tre av fem som det finns samband till beroende variablerna. Att det dessutom bara finns samband mellan oberoende variabler och mängden personalupplysningar är en slutsats att dra. Så utifrån figur 1 kan det dras tre slutsatser. Den första är att det finns ett samband mellan bransch och mängden personalupplysningar. Den andra slutsatsen är att det finns ett positivt samband mellan företagsstorlek och personalupplysningar samt den tredje är att det finns ett negativt samband mellan lönsamhet och personalupplysningar.

Full textA EGEO Solventes S.A, empresa cuja atividade se dedica à regeneração de solventes orgânicos industriais usados, enfrenta desafios no que toca em controlar o teor de cor dos seus produtos finais, em particular o ECOSOLVE 01. Nesse âmbito, a presente dissertação teve como objetivo principal o controlo do teor de cor dos solventes regenerados, pela identificação de potenciais melhorias no tratamento do solvente inicial (designado por “solvente sujo”), e propor formas de estabilizar o solvente final, mantendo-o incolor. Foi estudado a nível laboratorial todo o processo de regeneração de solventes de acordo com o processamento em funcionamento na EGEO Solventes S.A, tendo-se identificado como variáveis críticas para o controlo do teor de cor o ponto de paragem da destilação do solvente sujo, e o arrasto circunstancial de líquido saturado do ebulidor em situações de caudais de vapor muito elevados. Para controlar a cor no solvente final, foi desenvolvido um método de quantificação / doseamento de antioxidantes ao solvente em função da reatividade deste com o radical DPPH, pois a inibição de reações radicalares contribui positivamente para o controlo do teor de cor. Atualmente, a EGEO Solventes aditiva com ácido cítrico os seus solventes para estabilizar a cor a médio prazo, no entanto, verifica-se situações em que tal não é conseguido. Os resultados preliminares evidenciaram vantagens no método de doseamento com os antioxidantes galato de propilo (PG) e com o di-t-butil-hidroxitolueno (BHT). A estabilização foi conseguida em comparação com solventes não aditivados que ganharam cor, e verificou-se que concentrações destes antioxidantes 10 vezes superiores ao estimado pelo método de doseamento resultaram na pro-oxidação dos solventes, originando uma cor ainda mais intensa do que nos solventes não aditivados.
EGEO Solventes S.A, a company in which the main industrial activity is the recycling of used organic solvents, faces challenges in controlling the color content on their products, specially ECOSOLVE 01.The main goals of this thesis are the control of the color content in the regenerated solvent, the location of potential improvements in the treatment of the initial solvent (referred to as "dirty solvent"), and propose ways to stabilize the final solvent, keeping it colorless. The EGEO Solventes S.A recycling process was studied at a laboratorial scale. Two variables has been defined as critical importance in controlling the color content in the distillate: the distilling breakpoint due to sludge formation, and circumstantial drag of saturated liquid at very high steam flow rates. A procedure based in the reactivity of DPPH with recycled solvents was established to define the amount of antioxidant to add for solvent stabilization, preventing the solvent color content to increase with time because the inhibition of radical reactions contributes positively the color content control. Currently, EGEO solvents adds citric acid to their solvents to stabilize the color in the medium term, however, there is situations where this is not achieved. Preliminary results show advantages of the method with propyl gallate (PG) and the butylhydroxytoluene (BHT), whose color content control was achieved. The stabilization of solvents was achived in comparation with non additivated solvents and The stabilization was achieved in comparison with non-additivated solvents that have gained color additives, and found that these antioxidants in concentrations 10 times superior that was estimated by the assay method resulted in pro-oxidation of the solvents, giving a more intense color than in non-additivated solvents.

Full textSustainability reporting is an instrument that has two basic functions: an instrument for increased transparency and one for controlling sustainability processes. The transparency perspective includes how the company can present its sustainability work through its sustainability report so that it becomes more visible to its stakeholders. The governance perspective is about how companies can control, measure and target the sustainability issues that are considered important through sustainability reporting. At present, it is mainly large companies that choose to make sustainability reports. Research shows that companies in environmentally sensitive industries place greater emphasis on sustainability reporting than companies in less environmentally sensitive industries. In autumn 2016, a legislative amendment was introduced in the Annual Accounts Act, which means that all major Swedish companies are obliged to report on sustainability. As the banks are a powerful player in the struggle for sustainable development, we want to investigate how the legal requirement has affected the banks 'sustainability report and even if the banks' sustainability report is developing into a standard for the industry. The purpose of the thesis is to investigate the occurrence of changes in how companies in the Swedish banking industry report their sustainability work after the introduction of the new Accounting law. Furthermore, we want to investigate earlier times of similarities between the banks' sustainability reporting and whether it is moving towards a normative direction for the industry. Our study will help with existing research in the area of sustainability reporting. In order to answer our purpose, we have chosen a qualitative research strategy with a deductive research approach. Our research is based on existing theories in the area and the purpose is to investigate whether we can find evidence for these theories in our research. Analyzes show that there has been a clear change in how the banks communicate the various keywords and the context within it or the words. For all banks, there has been a significant increase in words linked to the context management perspective and values and principles. In addition, the proportion of words linked to the context of future plans has decreased significantly. Another conclusion we have been able to draw is that the new legal requirement also contributes to increase Affordability of the Sustainability Report between companies within the same industry. This can be explained by companies in the same industry often have the same challenges, risks and key performance indicators.

Resumo: A primeira parte deste trabalho avaliou a aceitação global de uma formulação desenvolvida para hambúrguer tipo calabresa a partir de carne suína como matéria-prima principal e a possível redução do nível de nitrito utilizado através de análise sensorial. Foram investigados também algumas características químicas (umidade, proteínas, lipídeos, cinzas e nitrito residual) de quatro formulações com diferentes níveis de nitrito e conteúdos de gordura. Na segunda parte, foram estudados os efeitos da redução do nível de nitrito de 150 para 50 mg de nitrito/Kg de produto e do conteúdo de gordura de 20 para 10% sobre a qualidade global do produto durante 120 dias de estocagem congelada. A qualidade sensorial, medida através da aparência, sabor, aroma e textura, a cor objetiva e a estabilidade oxidativa, medida através do número de substâncias reativas ao ácido 2-tiobarbitúrico (TBARS) e dos atributos sabor oxidado e aroma oxidado, foram determinadas nos tempos zero, 30, 60, 90 e 120 dias após o processamento. A cor e o número de TBARS foram determinados nas amostras cruas e cozidas. Os resultados obtidos na primeira parte indicaram que os consumidores aprovaram o novo produto e que é possível reduzir o nível de nitrito de 150 para 50 mg de nitrito/Kg de produto sem que se percam as características organolépticas de um produto curado. Após o processamento e o tratamento térmico, aproximadamente 34% do nitrito inicialmente adicionado pôde ser detectado nas amostras. Na segunda parte do trabalho, verificou-se que a redução do nível de nitrito não provocou alterações significativas entre os tratamentos para os atributos aparência, sabor, aroma e textura e para os parâmetros L*, a* e b* das amostras cruas e L* e b* das amostras cozidas. O valor a* das amostras cozidas geralmente foi maior para as amostras com mais nitrito. No estudo de estabilidade oxidativa observou-se que 50 mg de nitrito/Kg de produto exerceu um bom efeito antioxidante até 30 dias. Com 60 dias, amostras cozidas que continham inicialmente 150 mg de nitrito/Kg de produto, mostraram-se menos oxidadas, com menores valores de TBARS. A redução no conteúdo de gordura não afetou as propriedades sensoriais ao longo do período de estocagem congelada, mas exerceu um forte efeito sobre os parâmetros L* e a* das amostras cruas. Amostras com 20% de gordura foram mais claras e menos vermelhas enquanto amostras com 10% de gordura foram mais escuras e mais vermelhas. Nas amostras cozidas, a redução do teor de gordura não exerceu efeito significativo sobre os parâmetros L*, a* e b*. Os tratamentos com maior % de gordura apresentaram maiores valores de TBARS em 90 e 120 dias para as amostras cozidas. Com relação à estabilidade durante a estocagem, todas as formulações apresentaram atributos sensoriais (aparência, sabor, aroma e textura) satisfatórios. O parâmetro L * diminuiu significativamente tanto nas amostras cruas quanto nas cozidas, o valor a* sofreu alteração durante a estocagem somente nas amostras cozidas dos tratamentos com 50 mg de nitrito/Kg de produto e 20% de gordura e com 150 mg de nitrito/Kg de produto e 10% de gordura e, para o valor b*, observou-se uma redução ao longo dos 120 dias de estocagem congelada para as amostras cruas de todos os tratamentos. O valor de TBARS aumentou significativamente com o tempo nas amostras cruas e cozidas de todos os tratamentos, sendo que esse aumento foi mais significativo após 30 dias de estocagem congelada. O cozimento não alterou de modo significativo o valor de TBARS das amostras e foram encontrados correlações significativas positivas entre os dados de TBARS e análise sensorial para o atributo sabor oxidado considerando-se todos os pares de dados (r=0,6398) e dados entre tempos para cada tratamento (somente para as amostras com 10% de gordura)
Abstract: The first part of this work investigated a developed formulation for a new meat product, denominated "calabresa" sausage - style hamburger from pork meat. The overall acceptability and the possible nitrite levels reduction were evaluated through sensory analysis. The chemical composition and residual nitrite were also determined. The second part of this research studied the effects of nitrite levels reduction from 150 mg/Kg to 50 mg/Kg and the fat content reduction from 20% to 10% on product overall quality during frozen storage The sensory characteristics like appearance, taste, smell and texture, the objective color and oxidative stability were determined at day O, 30, 60, 90 and 120 days after processing. The first part results have indicated that consumers approved the new product and the nitrite levels reduction from 150 to 50 mg/Kg is possible without losses of cured meat characteristics. After processing and thermal treatment, only 34% of the ingoing nitrite was detected. The second part results verified that the sensory properties and L*, a* and b* parameters of raw hamburgers and L* and b* of cooked hamburgers were not affected by the changes in nitrite level. In general, cooked samples with 150 mg/Kg nitrite had highest values a*. During 30 days, 50 mg/Kg nitrite showed to be a good antioxidant. With 60 days, cooked samples (150 mg/Kg nitrite) showed the lowest TBARS (2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substances) values. The fat content reduction had a strong effect on color (L* and a* values) of the raw hamburgers during frozen storage, but the sensory properties were not affected. Treatments with 20% fat were lighter and least red whereas the treatments with 10% fat were darker and redder. The L*, a* and b* parameters of cooked samples were not significantly affected by the changes in fat content. Formulations with 20% fat showed the highest TBARS values at 90 and 120 days for cooked samples. Regarding product stability during frozen sterage, all formulations showed satisfactory sensory attributes. The lightness (L *) decreased as much in the raw hamburgers as in the cooked hamburgers, the redness (a*) was affected in the cooked samples of 2 treatments (50 mg/Kg nitrite, 20% fat and 150 mg/Kg nitrite, 10% fat) and the yellowness (b*) was reduced along 120 days for raw samples. The TBARS values had a significantly increase, more intense after 30 days in raw and cooked samples and were not affected by cooking. Significant correlations were found between TBARS values and sensory analysis only for oxidized taste pooling information within treatments and storage times (r=O,6398) and within time (only for treatments of 10% fat)

Resumo: Esta dissertação analisa a estrutura e fundamentação da teoria das cores de Newton através de um estudo detalhado das proposições e dos experimentos do Livro I do Opticks, publicado em 1704. A análise aqui apresentada leva em conta outros estudos de Newton sobre óptica, tais como seu caderno de anotações de 1664-65, o artigo em que Newton publicou pela primeira vez a sua teoria em 1672 nas Philosophical Transactions of lhe Royal Society, as críticas que Hooke, Pardies, Huygens e outros pesquisadores fizeram a esse artigo, e as respostas de Newton a essas críticas. A dissertação analisa os argumentos usados por Newton e mostra que nem sempre ele seguiu o método indutivista que se propunha seguir. Contrariamente à visão tradicional que via nesse trabalho de Newton um uso exemplar do método experimental, a dissertação aponta vários problemas dos experimentos e da argumentação de Newton. Em particular, mostra que ele não apresentou (nem poderia ter apresentado) uma prova experimental da composição da luz branca solar
Abstract: This dissertation analyses the structure and foundation of Newton's theory of colours through a detailed study of the propositions and experiments of Book I of Opticks, published in 1704. The analysis presented here takes into account some other of Newton's studies on optics, including his Notebook (1664-65), the paper published in 1672 in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, where Newton made public for the first time his theory , the critical remarks by Hooke, Pardies, Huygens and other researchers to that paper, and Newton's answers to his critics. The dissertation analyses the arguments used by Newton and shows that sometimes he failed to follow the inductivist method the tried to follow. The dissertation points out several difficulties behind Newton's experiments and arguments. In particular, it is shown that he did not present (nor could have presented) an experimental proof of the composition of the white light from the Sun

Full textThe objectives of the present work were: (a) Determine and evaluate color by the conventional method, and its comparison with colormeter equipment and their implication with soil classification; (b) Estimate of hematite contents by using soil color data. The hue of 80 samples of soils was determined by five experienced soil scientists by the comparison with the Munsells soil color charts and by a colorimeter. Color of 15 soil samples from different sites of São Paulo State were determined by colorimeter and from reflectance data obtained with radiometer. The correlation coefficients, varying from 0,68 to 0,94 of hue determinations, showed that the soil scientists produced data that validated the study. However, there was confirmation that the measures accomplished by soil scientists were not coincident and also differed from the colormeter. The values of precision index (PI) indicated an agreement of only 8,75% in moist samples and 17,5% in the dry samples, which would result in mistakes in the soil classification. Colors were achieved by L*a*b* and Munsell systems. For each sample, hematite content were determinated and the redness indexes (RI) calculated. The RI presented high correlation with hematite contents, and higher correlations for colors obtained in L*a*b* than those obtained in Munsell system. Exponential models were more effective in predicting hematite contents.

A translation of Goethe\'s essay on scientific methods (\"Kautelen des Beobachters\") and another on prismatic experiments (\"Beitrag zur Optik\"), where he sets the bases of his 30 years work on colours studies, are presented in this work too. The papers translated here were never before available in Portuguese, and they represent relevant subsidies for a comprehensive understanding of the \"Farbenlehre\". This research aims to contribute to the recovery of the Goethean\'s Phenomenology for the cultural enviroment of our days.

O processo de produ??o de concreto gera um significativo impacto ambiental por ser um dos maiores consumidores de mat?ria-prima, como areia, pedra, cascalho mo?do e ?gua. Entretanto, o maior impacto ? causado pela produ??o do cimento Portland, material indispens?vel ao concreto. Materiais como a cinza do baga?o da cana-de-a??car, s?lica da casca de arroz, metacaulim e s?lica ativa, s?o adi??es minerais que desempenham importante papel nas propriedades de resist?ncia e de durabilidade, quando utilizados em mistura com cimento Portland e, sob certas condi??es, podem perfeitamente substituir altos teores cimento nas misturas, conferido a elas, al?m dos benef?cios conhecidos que a redu??o de cimento acarreta, aumento significativo de durabilidade. A utiliza??o de concreto autoadens?vel (CAA) tem crescido significativamente por suas caracter?sticas de alta fluidez e coes?o e pela possibilidade de moldagem in loco sem vibra??o, formando um produto livre de vazios e falhas e que apresenta tamb?m, capacidade de fluxo atrav?s do seu peso pr?prio preenchendo completamente as f?rmas e atingindo a compacta??o mesmo em estruturas densamente armadas. Frente ao exposto, este trabalho se prop?s avaliar as propriedades reol?gicas, f?sicas, mec?nicas e de durabilidade dos eco-concretos autoadens?veis com a incorpora??o de altos teores de cinza da biomassa da cana-de-a??car, s?lica da casca de arroz e metacaulim. Para isso, foram analisados concretos com incorpora??o de 40% e 50% e um concreto autoadens?vel com materiais convencionais sem adi??es minerais para utiliza??o como refer?ncia. Os resultados evidenciaram que a sinergia resultante das misturas desenvolvidas revelou desempenhos mec?nicos e de durabilidade superiores ao CAA de refer?ncia, concluindo-se ent?o que ? poss?vel produzir concretos autoadens?veis com desempenhos promissores e com redu??o significativa do consumo de cimento para n?veis de cerca 220 kg / m3, contribuindo assim para a sustentabilidade da ind?stria da constru??o, minimizando energia liberada e a compacta??o.
The concrete production process generates a significant environmental impact as one of the largest consumers of raw materials, like sand, stone and water. However, the greatest impact is caused by the production of Portland cement, an essential material to the concrete. Materials such as sugarcane bagasse ashes (RBC), silica from rice husk (PCA), metakaolin (MK) and silica fume, are mineral additions that play an important role in resistance and durability properties, when used in combination with Portland cement and, under certain conditions, can perfectly replace high cement content in mixtures, given to them in addition to the known benefits that cement reduction entails, like significant increase in durability. The use of self-compacting concrete (SCC) has grown significantly by its high fluidity characteristics and cohesiveness and the possibility of forming in situ without vibration, forming a fault and void-free product which has also flowability by its own weight completely filling the molds and reaching compaction even in heavily armed structures. Based on these, this study aimed to evaluate the rheological, physical, mechanical and durability properties of self-compacting eco-concrete with the high percentage incorporation of sugarcane biomass ashes, silica from rice husk and metakaolin. Based on these, this study evaluated the rheological properties, physical, mechanical and durability freight to attack by chloride ions of self-compacting ecoconcrete with the incorporation of high content of ash biomass sugarcane, rice husk silica and metakaolin. For this, a self-compacting concrete with conventional materials without mineral admixtures for use as a reference and four concrete incorporating 40% and 50% additions were analyzed using gray bagasse from sugarcane, pozzolan rice husk and metakaolin. The results showed that the resulting synergy of developed mixtures revealed mechanical and durability performance, freight to attack by chloride ions, above the reference SCC. When compared to the reference concrete, concrete with additions showed an increase of up to 13.4% of the compressive strength at 28 days and reducing to 87% the penetration of chloride ions to 91 days. The results of the study also showed that incorporating high volumes of mineral additions in the SCC causes a reduction of the environmental impact generated by the anthropogenic emissions of CO2, the energy consumed and the consumption of natural materials, thus confirming the relevance of the research. It is possible to produce self-compacting concrete with promising performances, using high RBC levels, PCA and MK, with a significant reduction in cement consumption to levels of about 220 kg / m3, thus contributing to the sustainability of the construction industry, minimizing energy released and compression.

This work proposes the use of digital images obtained by scanner to determine the alcohol content in cachaça. Obtaining the image of an object by scanner generally uses a bar of radiation reaching the image that reflects radiation to the sensor allowing the reconstruction and storage of digital images. Each image generated in accordance with the red-green-blue system (RGB) provides an array of values of RGB components. The standard of RGB vectors was adopted as analytical response to the construction of titration curves based on digital images. To evaluate the results with those obtained by Gay-Lussac Alcoholmeter with digital images, a paired t test was applied to the dataset to a confidence level of 95%. It was found that there was no significant difference between the two methodologies for the confidence level seen (p <0.05). The relative standard deviations of the results obtained by the proposed method were less than 3.0%.
Neste trabalho é proposto o uso de imagens digitais obtidas por scanner para determinação do teor alcoólico em cachaça. A obtenção da imagem de um objeto por scanner geralmente usa uma barra de radiação, que ao atingir a imagem, reflete a radiação para o sensor permitindo a reconstrução e armazenamento da imagem digital. Cada imagem, gerada de acordo com o sistema vermelho-verde-azul (RGB), fornece uma matriz de valores das componentes RGB. A norma dos vetores RGB foi adotada como resposta analítica para a construção das curvas de titulação baseadas nas imagens digitais. Para avaliar os resultados obtidos com o alcoômetro com aqueles obtidos por imagens digitais, um teste t emparelhado foi aplicado ao conjunto de dados para um nível de confiança de 95%. Verificou-se que não existe diferença significativa entre as duas metodologias para o nível de confiança considerado (p < 0,05). Os desvios padrão relativos dos resultados obtido pela metodologia proposta foram inferiores a 3,0%.

Full textThe roller compacted concrete technology has been increasable developed and, consequently, modified the dam constructions procedures, leading to improved concepts about the construction processes, besides presenting technical competitively when compared to earth, rockfill and concrete faced rockfill gravity dams construction methodology. The use of a bonding element (concrete or mortar), between concrete layers was common in the 70´s. At that time, studies conducted by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers showed that this technique was unnecessary in traditional dam constructions for the cases of well and strictly prepared joints. The Willow Creek dam construction, using RCC without any specification about bonding element between layers, presented a high level of percolation. Since that, great hydraulic structures designers adopted a bed of small aggregate concrete, placed between RCC layers in about 30% of the superficial section of joint from the upstream face. To the herein research it was proposed the execution of experimental laboratory bulks simulating a small part of a RCC dam. For the simulation of placing and compaction of concrete it was used the equipment owned by FURNAS CENTRAIS ELETRICAS S.A., at the laboratory of Goiania, Brazil. Eleven experimental bulks were produced, in which were assessed the exposure of RCC layers in different time delays and temperatures, varying the layer concrete surface treatment and the use of mortar between layers in order to evaluate the maturity degree of joints and to define the procedures to a suitable bonding between layers. The studies show the importance of laboratory test fills during the design phases, as useful tools to help the technical decision processes.

Full textAim: Companies social responsibility has been discussed more frequently and CSR has grown to be an important question for companies and their stakeholders. As a response to this the question regarding companies’ responsibility to pay tax has also been lifted as a part of their social responsibility. Earlier studies has showed contradictory results regarding the relation between CSR and tax avoidance, and arguments regarding companies results has emerged as an moderating variable to the relation. The purpose of this study is to examine the correlation between CSR and European companies’ effective tax rate, and if the influence of profitability has any effect on this relation. Method: The study is assumes a positivistic research philosophy with a hypothetical-deductive approach. The study has a quantitative strategy and a longitudinal design, implemented with ten-year data of 460 public European companies, for the time period 2007-2016. The study is based on secondary data from the database Thomson Reuters Datastream. The data has been analyzed in two statistical programs, SPSS and STATA. Result & Conclusions: The result of the study gives some evidence that profitability has a moderating effect on the relationship between CSR and tax avoidance. Companies that has high profitability shows a greater positive relationship between CSR and tax avoidance, which indicates that they view tax and CSR as substitutes or as two opposite activities. The result regarding different institutions influence on this relationship, shows that there are differences depending in which institution the company is located. The conclusion from this study is therefore that profitability have a proven moderating effect on the relationship between CSR and tax avoidance, companies with high profitability does show greater tendencies to use more tax avoidance when their CSR-activities are higher, then does companies with less profitability. Contribution of the thesis: The study contributes to the empirical research for European companies, regarding the relationship between CSR and tax avoidance. It also contributes to the empirical research in this area of research, and whether or not the companies sectorial or institutional belonging effect the relationship between CSR and tax avoidance. The result contributes with valuable theoretical information to the contradictory research regarding the relationship between CSR and tax avoidance. Suggestions for future research: One suggestion for future research is to use other measurements for tax avoidance, when the description of tax avoidance is so wide. Another suggestion is to do a similar study where CSR is divided into its separate dimensions to see if there is differences between them, regarding the relation towards tax avoidance. From a population perspective there is a gap regarding the global research on this subject, one suggestion is therefore to perform a similar study, where public companies from all over the world is included. Then group the companies depending on which institution the belong to, to analyse the results from an institutional level from a global perspective.

Full textThe following research brings a study on a large-scale organizational change in an international hotel chain. The change has as its focus the implementation of a Shared Service Center (SSC) that accomplishes the administrative, accounting and financial processes in a centralized way in more than forty hotel unities of the group. In order to implement changes of such magnitude, it is necessary to deal with internal resistances within the organization that appear during the process. In this sense, this research aims to study which are the main resistances involved in a change process, based on the resistance elements indicated by Burns and Scapens (2000). Influenced by the Old Institutional Economics (OIE), the present research has been developed to bring an intra-organizational focus to the change processes, and it intends to solve some criticism brought toward the first researches developed by the New Institutional Sociology (NIS). Those researches would describe the change processes as being linear and unavoidable, and, through such processes, the actors supposedly became voluntarily isomorphic to the institutions. Based on those ideas, this paper intends to analyze the following elements of resistance: (i) formal and overt due to competing interests; (ii) by lack of capability (knowledge and experience); and (iii) by attachment to the institutions set in the environment, identifying which are the most important resistances and how they would relate to the process of institutionalization considered by Burns and Scapens (2000) in the encoding, enacting, reproduction and institutionalization process. Thus, through descriptive research, using qualitative and quantitative techniques, interviews, surveys and through multivariate analysis such as Conglomerate Analysis, Correspondence Analysis (ANACOR), Homogeneity Analysis (HOMALS) and Categorical Principal Component Analysis (CAPTCA), the research aims to analyze and observe how operational managers (general managers and assistant managers of the hotel unities) and corporative managers (board members) assimilate and realize the change promoted by the implementation of a SSC. On its turn, the SSC, being a recent model on the organizations, was implemented in 42 hotel unities of the group, distributed in five brands with distinct characteristics, through a migration chronogram lasting 18 months. The findings led to the conclusion that the main resistances to the process are related to the resistance by lack of capability and by attachment to the existing institutions. It is necessary to consider that the elements of the resistance are interconnected, and they should be analyzed in action plans aiming the complete institutionalization within the new model of the SSC. The results of this research bring inputs to consider that the identification of the main resistances in an institutionalization process, as described by Burns and Scarpens (2000). Those inputs are very useful to lead actions and strategies, in order to guide the complete institutionalization of the model. In this specific case observed, the analysis of the elements of resistance illuminates the possible reasons for which there is, by the operational managers, resistance by lack of knowledge, resistance which is mainly connected to the essential subjects related to the analysis of accounting and financial information. Additionally, the research raises arguments on the possible causes of the resistance of such operational managers, caused by attachment to the institutions, specifically on the superior brands, in which there is a demand for specific and different information because of the complexity of those unities when compared to the economical brands. The conclusions work as an important guide, both to the organization focused in this study and to the ones that possibly may go through similar change processes or that may be trying to implement a center of shared services, a recent solution that is in expansion in Brazil.

Na indústria das tintas é incontestável a importância que a cor apresenta, pois o sucesso dos produtos que dessa indústria resultam, passa, seguramente, pelas características da cor que apresentam. Sendo, portanto, vital para esta indústria o estudo das cores. Neste contexto a empresa CIN revela o interesse no estudo da cor, procedendo à criação de bases de dados de formulação de cor para os seus produtos. Surgindo o presente trabalho como demonstração desse mesmo estudo, contribuindo com os resultados da criação e otimização de bases de dados de formulação de cor, que serão utilizadas como ponto de partida para a afinação da cor. Neste trabalho, descrevem-se algumas das teorias essenciais para a análise às propriedades das cores, bem como o procedimento da criação e otimização das bases de dados que, de forma sucinta, consiste no armazenamento das propriedades óticas das pastas pigmentos utilizadas para a produção de cor nos produtos, através do software adequado, que neste caso se baseia na teoria de Kubelka-Munk, e, posteriormente procedendo à reprodução de formulações de cor e consequente avaliação. A avaliação é feita recorrendo aos métodos de diferença de cor do sistema CIELab. Se necessário, o ajuste das pastas pigmentos no software é feito através da força pigmentos da pasta de pigmentos, voltando a ser reproduzidas formulações de cor para as mesmas cores padrão, e avaliadas novamente. O trabalho proposto foi concluído com sucesso, tendo sido, para o efeito, construídas e otimizadas três bases de dados que disponibilizam formulações de cor, com pequenas diferenças, relativamente à cor pretendida.
The colour is present in everything that surrounds us, and generally, it is a determinant factor in many events and phenomena, not only regarding human’s activity, but also on all living beings’ actions. In the paint industry is undeniable the importance of the colour, bearing in mind that the success of the products that arise from this industry depends on the characteristics of the colour. For this reason, it is vital, for this kind of Industry, assure the necessary analyses for the colour’s development. In this context, CIN (the company) reveals its interest in the study of the colour. For that purpose, the company has proposed the creation of databases with the intention of formulating colour for their products. This work should consist in a demonstration of that investment and, consequently, its results based on the creation and optimization of those databases. In this work, some theories about the colour’s properties are described, as well as the procedure of creating and optimizing the database. The process regarding the database includes saving the optical properties of the colorants on the database, using software that applies the Kubelka-Munk theory to obtain thus properties. The next step is the optimization of the database that consists in the production of coloured paints with the formulation provided by the software. This colour is evaluated using the CIELab system based in differences of colour method, if necessary is possible to modified the colour strength of the colorant in the software, and, than, the coloured paints returned to be reproduced and evaluated. The proposed work has been completed successfully, and as a result, three databases were created and optimized giving predictions with insignificant differences to the standard colour that was set out as a target.

Full textSustainability reporting reflects the corporate commitments which are commonly known as Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The corporate commitments include economic, environmental and social aspects. Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is a prominent organization which establishes frameworks for sustainability reporting. Their third version is called G3.1 and consists of guidelines regarding reporting principles and guidance, and standard disclosures. The standard disclosures are divided in the company´s strategy and profile, management approach, and performance indicators. A consequence of the framework from GRI not being statutory, but just optional for companies to use, is that the sustainability reports will differ from each other. Previously research has shown that international differences within traditional accounting exist, and it has to some extent been linked with the Anglo-Saxon and continental European accounting tradition. Therefore, this study includes companies from countries originating from correspondingly accounting tradition.This study aims to examine what international differences occur within sustainability reporting. One purpose is to compare companies´ reported performance indicators. Another intension is to do an in-depth examination of a number of aspects in the sustainability reports, with the ambition to find out how the companies communicate the information.The study includes sustainability reports from two North American and two German companies. The sustainability reports are all prepared regarding to G3.1 and published for the year of 2012. The examination was conducted with a content analysis and begins with a quantitative part, where the primarily objective is a comparison with the companies reported performance indicators. A qualitative inquiry about how the information in the sustainability reports is communicated is thereafter presented.The result of the study shows that differences exist between the American and the German companies´ sustainability reports. The quantitative examination indicates a social orientation among the American companies which emphasizes areas regarding community and employment conditions, in their reports. Environmental aspects are the ones most reported in both the American and German companies´ reports; an expected consequence considering that the environmental performance indicators are the most comprehensive area. No perceptible variations between the companies could be found for the economic performance indicators. Finally, the quantitative examination discloses that the German companies report a greater width of completely reported indicators in all categories of performance indicators.The most distinctive difference revealed in the qualitative examination was the presence of a stakeholder model within the sustainability reports from the German companies, while the American reports are affected by a shareholder model. It was discovered that the American companies use more financial information than the German ones, which may be due to a need of legitimization from the shareholders. Since the German companies reaches for a wider group of stakeholders, they present more general information. To conclude the qualitative examination, the American companies in this study report a higher level of details and depth in their reports compared to the German companies, who instead has less details but reports about more areas.(This thesis is written in Swedish)

Full textDue to the increased focus on sustainability, stakeholders place increased demands on information. Freeman's (1984, s. 25) definition of the term stakeholder is the basis for the development of previous research in the subject. The concept of stakeholder is wide, which has led to the concept being problematized. The majority of companies today choose to apply a sustainability report in order to show transparency and meet the expectations of key stakeholders. Sustainability reporting has traditionally been voluntary in Sweden and applied through self-regulation. As of 1 July 2016, the largest companies in Sweden are required to report sustainability. The legal requirement is based on the fact that the government considered that stakeholders today find sustainability issues increasingly relevant and that investment in companies is also based on this. There are several organizations that have developed principles and guidelines for how sustainability should be reported. The Global Reporing Initiative (GRI) is one of the major international frameworks that can be used by companies to prepare a sustainability report. The purpose of this study is to highlight how the four largest banking groups in Sweden choose to engage their stakeholders in their sustainability reports, and how the commitment has changed over time. The results of this study will contribute to increased knowledge of the banks' ways of engaging their stakeholders in the work with sustainability reporting. In order to be able to answer the purpose and research questions, we have used a qualitative content analysis of each bank's sustainability reports and a word analysis with quantitative features, for all surveyed years. The years covered in this study are 2010, 2012, 2017 and 2020. The selected years enable a mapping of changes in the banks' sustainability reports over a longer period. All analyzed banks prepare their sustainability reports in accordance with GRI's guidelines. The results of this study make it possible to conclude that all banks studied have a similar view and categorization of their stakeholders. A second conclusion is that the majority of banks have chosen to identify and engage their stakeholders and their expectations primarily through materiality analyzes and stakeholder dialogues. This is explained and stated to form the basis for the design of the sustainability report. The final conclusion is that three out of four analyzed banking groups have increased their stakeholder involvement over the years analyzed. The change is made clear by the number of times the most significant stakeholder groups appear in the word analysis presented in the study results.This study is written in Swedish.

Full textStudies on vitamin K have shown its role in maintaining bone and vascular health. The role of this vitamin in extrahepatic tissues is not considered in the dietary recommendation of DRI 2001. Increased need for vitamin K intake is recognized for the bone function in people over age 60 and individuals who use anti-vitamin K drugs. Aiming at supporting future research, where knowledge of vitamin K1 is relevant, and contribute data to the Brazilian Table of Food Composition - TBCA-USP, this study was conducted to determine the level of phylloquinone (vitamin K1) of vegetables consumed in the city of São Paulo. The vegetables studied were chosen after completion of a nutrition survey carried out with adults and elderly people, a research project developed by the Department of Food and Experimental Nutrition FCF / USP aimed at analyzing the daily intake of vitamin K. Therefore, we analyzed the most consumed vegetables by these groups submitted or not to the cooking process. These samples were acquired directly at CEAGESP - General Warehouses Company of São Paulo. The methodologies employed in the determination of phylloquinone (vitamin K1) were extraction and purification method using liquid-liquid organic solvents followed by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). The results showed that the samples of darker green vegetables showed the highest levels of vitamin such as parsley (491.05 µg/100g) and spinach (375.01 µg/100g), when compared with samples of lighter coloration (e.g. 113.42 µg/100g lettuce, and 32.55 µg/100g cauliflower). Most vegetables analyzed showed variation in results when compared to the different seasons and the literature data.

Full textAlthough high concentrate diets are commonly used for finishing lambs, information about the effect of minimum levels of neutral detergent fiber (NDF) on performance is limited. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of increasing dietary fiber levels on performance, feed efficiency and parameters of carcass, blood and rumen of finishing lambs fed high concentrate diet. Twenty four uncastrated male lambs (initial body weight of 24.55 ± 2.2 kg) were randomly assigned to 24 individual pens, in a complete randomized design with three treatments and eight replicates. Treatments were dietary NDF levels of 15, 20 and 25% based on dry matter. Diets were composed of corn, soybean meal, minerals and corn silage, and were offered twice a day with refusals daily measured to determine dry matter intake (DMI). Animals were weighed weekly and slaughtered after 50 d of feedlot, with body weight of 40.48 ± 2.3 kg. Hot and cold carcass weight (HCW and CCW) as well as hot and cold carcass yield (HCY and CCY) were measured. After evisceration, fluid and rumen contents were collected to determine fatty acid short chain and protozoa. Data were submitted to analysis of regression, using the statistical software SAS (version 9.0, 2002). Lambs fed with increasing levels of NDF had a linear efeect on IMS and residual feed intake (RFI). The average daily gain (ADG) and other food efficiency variables were not statistically different between treatments. Increasing levels of NDF in the diet caused a decrease in HCW, HCY and CCY, and there was no significant effect on other carcass variables. Blood and rumen variables were not affected by treatments, suggesting that the diets with high concentrate and different levels of NDF for finishing lambs provided homeostasis animals and adequate environment for rumen fermentation. In general, diets with low NDF did not alter the ADG, but had no effect on RFI, weight and carcass yield increased and did not provide physiological and ruminal changes.

A sucessão florestal é um tema central na ecologia e provê um cenário ideal para entender como assembleias de plantas são organizadas, mas os mecanismos que determinam a substituição de espécies ao longo de gradientes sucessionais e ambientais raramente são examinados. A partir de uma perspectiva funcional, com base em atributos foliares, nós testamos a hipótese de que fatores edáficos determinam o sucesso de diferentes estratégias ecológicas vegetais e o papel de diferentes processos ecológicos (filtros ambientais e limitação de similaridade), definindo assim mudanças na composição e estrutura de comunidades vegetais, em uma sucessão florestal secundária. Adicionalmente, avaliamos a validade do método de classificação de tipos funcionais CSR para plantas lenhosas em florestas tropicais, testando em seguida os pressupostos da “Teoria CSR”, que prevê o envolvimento de estratégias ecológicas vegetais na sucessão com base em um triplo trade-off na evolução das plantas, associados à capacidade das espécies competirem por recursos (C), tolerarem estresses (S) e responderem a distúrbios (R). Ao longo da sucessão, a fertilidade e o pH do solo apresentaram uma forte tendência de redução, explicando a progressiva substituição de espécies com alta capacidade de competir por recursos e crescer rapidamente, em estágios iniciais, por outras mais tolerantes a estresses, com tecidos densos e baixa demanda por recursos dos solos, que dominaram estágios sucessionais avançados e florestas maduras. No início da sucessão, a complementariedade de nicho foi o principal determinante da ocorrência e abundância das espécies, provavelmente como resultado de interações antagônicas, que podem limitar a similaridade entre as espécies que co-ocorrem em uma comunidade. No entanto, com a redução da disponibilidade de nutrientes e aumento da acidez dos solos, filtros abióticos se tornaram progressivamente mais preponderantes, restringindo gradualmente a diversidade de estratégias vegetais de aquisição e uso de recursos, ao longo da sucessão. Relações multivariadas entre os atributos foliares das espécies demonstraram a consistência dos trade-offs observados em outros contextos e utilizados como base para a construção do método de classificação CSR. O método também foi capaz de explicar as mudanças sucessionais observadas em concordância com a teoria CSR, i.e. a substituição gradual de espécies com caráter competitivo por plantas mais tolerantes a estresses. Em resumo, esses resultados sugerem que fatores edáficos e processos de nicho determinam fortemente padrões de distribuição, abundância e coexistência de espécies em florestas tropicais; e que a Teoria CSR pode ser amplamente utilizada para quantificar, comparar e prever a estrutura de comunidades com base em estratégias adaptativas vegetais.

Full textThis research lies in the field of Theory of Literature, with resulting theoretical implications of Sociology of Reading, Sociology of Literature and Cultural Studies. In this perspective, we analyze the attractive color pink, especially those with heart Romances of Sabrina, Bianca and Julia series, 1980s literature, emphasizing the preference for reading by women, through works not canonized, and its importance in reader training. That choice was because the decade mentioned represents the pinnacle of Sabrina, Bianca and Julia series, with the women as their main readers; to recognize that this kind of literature in that context has not received due attention and analysis; and believe that, although not legitimized by literary criticism, the school and the academic environment, the color pink, the sentimental nature, literature encourages youth reading habits and behaviors develops readers; should thus be part of literary readings in school and university level, a theoretical discussion and mediation, respectively process.Therefore, it is necessary to delineate the female images from some categories drawn from the study of these series of novels, such as male and female physical and psychological profile; love versus hate; love triangle; heavenly or conducive to love and affective language setting. Furthermore, it is essential to ascertain whether sensory and emotional aspects of reading (identification with covers, titles, plots, characters and places) foster reading and can be considered as one of the expedients for the construction of literary taste. The methodology is supported by a literature review and qualitative research on the horizon of ethnomethodological research. Who reads one color pink romance has so much story to tell whoever reads as any other literary genre. The practice of reading this type of novel becomes a possibility for dialogue, debate and formation of opinions, a deepening of behavioral, social, cultural and historical issues, in time and space separate process.
Esta pesquisa situa-se no campo da Teoria da Literatura, com implicações teóricas advindas da Sociologia da Leitura, Sociologia da Literatura e dos Estudos Culturais. Nessa perspectiva, analisam-se os atrativos da literatura cor-de-rosa, em especial os Romances com coração das séries Sabrina, Julia e Bianca, da década de 1980, enfatizando a preferência pela leitura por mulheres, através de obras não canonizadas, e sua importância na formação leitora. Tal escolha se deu porque a década mencionada representa o auge das séries Sabrina, Julia e Bianca, tendo as mulheres como suas principais leitoras; por reconhecer que esse tipo de literatura no referido contexto ainda não recebeu a devida atenção e análise; e por acreditar que, mesmo não sendo legitimada pela crítica literária, pela escola e pelo meio acadêmico, a literatura cor-de-rosa, de cunho sentimentalista, estimula o gosto juvenil pela leitura e desenvolve comportamentos leitores; devendo, assim, fazer parte das leituras literárias no âmbito escolar e universitário, num processo de mediação e discussão teórica, respectivamente.Para tanto, faz-se necessário delinear as imagens femininas a partir de algumas categorias traçadas com base no estudo dos romances dessas séries, tais como: perfil físico e psicológico masculino e feminino; amor versus ódio; triângulo amoroso; cenário paradisíaco ou propício ao amor e linguagem afetiva. Além disso, torna-se essencial constatar se aspectos da leitura sensorial e emocional (identificação com capas, títulos, enredos, personagens e lugares) fomentam a leitura, bem como se podem ser considerados como um dos expedientes para a construção do gosto literário. A metodologia utilizada tem como suporte uma revisão de literatura e a pesquisa de cunho qualitativo, no horizonte da investigação etnometodológica. Quem lê um romance cor-de-rosa tem tanta história para contar quanto quem lê qualquer outro gênero literário. A prática da leitura desse tipo de romance torna-se uma possibilidade de interlocução, debate e formação de opiniões, num processo de aprofundamento de questões comportamentais, sociais, culturais e históricas, em tempo e espaço distintos.

Infography has been characterized as a new representaíion of form the contemporary informative journalism genre, that synthesizes the information from the resources the graphic visual language, aiming quick and efficient reading the news. Among the visual language elements that characterize its configuration, the color becomes an important feature the infographics, can contribute to emphasize and organize complex visual information, for clarity, visual balance, and harmony. However, it can also have negative effects, if used improperly, making information difficult to understand. Within this context, the present study investigates the indicative, perceptive and representative functions of color in the journalism infographics, aiming to propose recommendations for its use in the design of infographics. Therefore, this research presents an exploratory, mixedmethod (qualitative and quantitative) approach, to be carried out in four stages: (i) characterization of color functions; (ii) analysis of a set of infographics; (iii) processing and interpretation of data; and (iv) recommendations for the use of color in the project of journalism infographics. Comparing the three categories was observed that perceptive and indicative function categories were the most recurrent, being the functions harmonize, organize, hierarchize and measure the most ones. However, these same categories were also those ones that presented a higher number of probiems in the use of color, with the functions maintaining readability and visibility and maintaining consistency the most problematic ones. Such analysis identified successful uses and highlighted some shortcomings, moreover contributing recommendations for directing the proper application of color in journalism infographics.
