Background. To confirm the results of a number studies conducted in Europe, United States, and Japan, this multicenter, randomized trial compared 12-month efficacy safety tacrolimus- cyclosporine-based immunosuppressive regimens prevention renal allograft rejection. Methods. A total 448 transplant recipients were recruited from 15 centers assigned to receive triple-drug therapy consisting tacrolimus (n=303) or cyclosporine (n=145) conjunction with azathioprine low-dose corticosteroids....
Abstract Organizational citizenship behaviors for the environment (OCBEs), which are based on individual, voluntary and informal initiatives, increasingly considered as an essential ingredient of corporate greening. Drawing emerging literature this issue, paper explores determinants consequences managers' OCBEs. A study 304 managers from manufacturing sector allowed us to validate a new model OCBEs structural equation modeling. The shows role environmental values perceived behavioral control...
ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to propose an integrative framework for understanding the determinants business strategies reduce greenhouse gas emissions and impact these on performance. proposed structural equation model based a survey 319 Canadian manufacturing firms. study calls into question traditionally positive relationship between firm's environmental commitment its economic motivations. However, results also show win–win financial This contributes motivations underlying efforts...
Background. Supplementation of immunosuppressive therapy with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) has been found to reduce the rate acute rejection in renal transplantation. We report a dose-finding study for MMF when administered combination low-dose tacrolimus and corticosteroid prophylaxis cadaveric transplant recipients. Methods. Two hundred thirty-two patients at 16 centers were enrolled this randomized, parallel-group study. The three treatment groups corticosteroids (MMF-0 group, n=82);...
The Canadian banking system is among the best in world. Amid COVID-19 pandemic, world challenged and banks are expected to rescue society. Businesses revising, repurposing, reinventing their products services address people's needs. In this context, article seeks understand how Canada's supporting clients communities, during current health crisis. Content analysis was conducted analyse ten largest banks' actions towards leading 125 documents 19 different consulted. Based on data, a...
The objective of this study is to analyze the corporate disclosures related carbon neutrality in agri-food sector using several complementary theoretical lenses. A qualitative content analysis climate made by 135 food and beverage companies shows numerous gaps information they provide about emission monitoring, setting net-zero targets, footprint reduction, offsetting practices. Taken together, these seriously undermine credibility data disclosed. However, proliferation opaque information,...
Background. The demand for renal transplantation has increasingly outstripped the supply of donor organs especially over past 10 years.Although related and unrelated live donation is being promoted as one option increasing pool, it unlikely that this will in itself be able to bridge gap. Non-heart beating donors (NHBD) can provide an alternative organs, which should substantially increase pool. Methods. In Newcastle, NHBD kidneys have been used a period years. early (1988–1993) excellent...
Abstract The objective of this paper is to investigate the rigorousness and reliability sustainability rating agencies' evaluation corporate risks. Using grounded theory, study conducts a qualitative analysis 32 semi‐structured interviews with practitioners involved in activity shows trade‐offs rational myths underlying process. image rationality projected by risk measurements mostly intended address increasing institutional pressures for reliable comparable information, particularly from...
Background. Chronic rejection is a major cause of graft dysfunction after kidney transplantation. This fibroproliferative disease may be promoted by overproduction transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β). Previous studies have suggested that CsA might increase production this factor. The current study was designed to measure the expression TGF-βb in renal transplant biopsy specimens from patients undergoing immunosuppressive therapy with either or tacrolimus (FK506). Method....
Background. Cadaveric kidneys from brain-stem–dead donors continue to be limited because the number of has reached a plateau. Wide recruitment non-heart-beating (NHBD) could significantly increase donor pool. NHBD renal transplants are underused concern poor quality graft function such donors. In response this perception, we reviewed 46 performed in our center since 1998. Methods. All were machine-perfused using Newcastle continuous-hypothermic pulsatile preservation system before...
Abstract Sustainable water resource management is a major challenge for mining companies. The objective of this article to analyze the credibility information disclosed by companies in sector as well strategies used justify their performance. To meet objective, qualitative content analysis 58 Global Reporting Initiative (GRI; G4) reports was carried out. This demonstrates strong propensity disclose that does not comply with GRI guidelines. Moreover, use external verification has no impact on...
Abstract In this article, we propose a framework for better understanding of the factors that can influence implementation sustainability management tools—that is, sustainable development policy and reporting—in small‐ medium‐sized enterprises. Using secondary data, studied 431 micro‐ to mid‐sized Canadian enterprises found stakeholder consultation plays central role in company tools. This reduces perception internal constraints, particularly regarding relevant knowledge‐gaps. study also...
