Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become an important subject for business. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is newly emerged concept for Turkish companies. This paper is investigated the current status of CSR efforts in the Turkish automotive distribution companies. Sabanci Holding, Dogus Group and Koç Group are selected as the top three best CSR practice cases for Turkish automot...

Immunoglobulin heavy chain class switch recombination (CSR) is believed to occur through the generation and repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in the long and repetitive switch regions. Although implied, the role of the major vertebrate DSB repair pathway, nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ), in CSR has been controversial. By somatic gene targeting of DNA ligase IV (Lig4; a key component of...

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become a pervasive topic in the business literature, but has largely neglected the role of institutions. This introductory article to the Special Issue of Socio-Economic Review examines the potential contributions of institutional theory to understanding CSR as a mode of governance. This perspective suggests going beyond grounding CSR in the voluntary b...

The objective of the CSR Corpus Development is to collect and deliver a large corpus of continuous speech data to support DARPA research efforts in continuous speech recognition (CSR). The CSR corpus is intended to be task independent and to consist of speech that is similar to that which would be expected from eventual users of real world CSR systems. Toward these ends, the current pilot colle...

Cheyne-Stokes respiration (CSR) is characterized by a pattern of cyclic oscillations of tidal volume and respiratory rate with periods of hyperpnea alternating with hypopnea or apnea in patients with heart failure. CSR harms the failing heart through intermittent hypoxia brought about by apnea and hypopnea and recurrent sympathetic surges. CSR impairs the quality of life and increases cardiac m...

In a recent article, Craig Smith (2003) stated, “...the debate about Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has shifted: it is no longer about whether to make substantial commitments to CSR, but how? There have been articles that have examined the results of CSR initiatives (e.g., Drumwright, 1996), the case for CSR (e.g., Mintzberg, 1983), and morality in the market (e.g., Smith, 1990); however...

As one of the most influential models of corporate social responsibility (CSR), Carroll’s pyramid of CSR has both reflected, and helped to perpetuate, a business-centric notion of CSR which implies that economic responsibilities take precedence over legal and ethical responsibilities. This paper argues that this conception of CSR needs updating to reflect the increased power of business in soci...

The effect of normothermic ischemia and ischemia/reperfusion on the function of cardiac sarcoplasmic reticulum (CSR) was investigated using a modified Langendorff perfusion of isolated rat hearts. The function of the CSR was assessed by the oxalate-supported Ca2+ uptake rate of ventricular homogenates. The contribution of the ryanodine-sensitive portion of the CSR was determined by using 20 mic...

The binding of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2) to its cell surface receptor (CSR) and subsequent signal transduction is known to be enhanced by heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs). HSPGs bind FGF-2 with low affinity and likely impact CSR-mediated signaling via stabilization of FGF-2-CSR complexes via association with both the ligand and the receptor. What is unknown is whether HSPG ass...
