1. Making Corporate Social Responsibility an International Concern : Norm Construction in a Globalizing World

In spite of the absence of a common definition, the concept generally involves claims on transnational corporations to take responsibility for the promotion and protection of human and labour rights in countries where they operate or otherwise conduct business.

2. Bad mot Lort och Sjukdom : Den privathygieniska utvecklingen i Sverige 1880–1949
Sammanfattning : In this thesis, the question of why a large number of small, modest, public baths (saunas) were built on the Swedish countryside during 1920–1949 has been analysed. The specific research question has been: How did the idea of the need for the baths, as well better personal hygiene among the Swedish population, develop? The study is based on a number of different sources, including governmental registers, records, and motions to parliament, reports from the organization of the district medical officers, popular science books, leaflets, schoolbooks and magazines.

In practice this image has merely functioned as a defence for the legitimacy of industrial development. LÄS MER
4. On Nuclear Norm Minimization in System Identification
Sammanfattning : In system identification we model dynamical systems from measured data. This data-driven approach to modelling is useful since many real-world systems are difficult to model with physical principles. Hence, a need for system identification arises in many applications involving simulation, prediction, and model-based control. LÄS MER
