“…Favorable attitudes towards immigrants and integration-orientated policies in the host society usually have positive implications for mental health among immigrants [33,35,36]. Thus, our observation of poorer mental health among immigrant adolescents compared to natives was unexpected given that the Swedish society has maintained an accepting atmosphere and favorable attitudes towards immigrants [37,38]. However, it has also been suggested that Swedish society is majority-oriented, which may structurally burden immigrant adolescents and affect their mental health [17].…”

We compared the mental health of native and immigrant adolescents in Sweden from 1995 to 2011 and examined whether the municipality-level proportion of immigrant adolescents moderated the association between individual-level immigrant status and mental health. The sample (14,189 adolescents aged 15-16) was obtained from a repeated cross-sectional study conducted from 1995 to 2011. Adolescent self-report data (gender, immigrant status, economic situation, and mental health) and municipality-level data (proportion of immigrant adolescents) were used in multilevel linear regression analyses. Immigrant adolescents reported more mental health problems than their native Swedish peers. The long-term trend in mental health problems did not differ between the two groups. The association between individual immigrant status and mental health did not differ according to the municipality-level rate of immigrant adolescents. These findings highlight the need for public health attention to and efforts to address immigrant adolescents' mental health problems in Sweden.

“…By contrast, there have been increasing concerns over EP or CSR issues in general among MNEs (Appendix 1), particularly in the Journal of International Business Studies (e.g., Campbell et al, 2012;Durand & Jacqueminet, 2015;Husted & Allen, 2006;Ioannou & Serafeim, 2012;Jamali, 2010;Marano, Tashman, & Kostova, 2017;Rathert, 2016;Rodriguez, Siegel, Hillman, & Eden, 2006;Zanakis, Newburry, & Taras, 2016). As we will discuss below, firm performance in terms of EP or CSR in general is not only socially significant but also beneficial for other dimensions of firm performance, such as financial and marketing performance (e.g., Russo & Fouts, 1997).…”

Integrating previous research, we propose a theoretical model predicting the different effects of global diversification on corporate social performance in environmental protection (EP) by focusing on the institutional difference between developing and developed countries. Moreover, arguing for the moderating effects of firm resources, we also predict and test the effect of firm slack resources on the relationship between the diversification and corporate social performance in EP. By analyzing longitudinal data of 847 multinational enterprises (MNEs), we found empirical evidence that when MNEs diversify mainly into developed countries, they are likely to show more EP. By contrast, when MNEs diversify into developing countries, they are likely to show less EP. Furthermore, we found that a firm's financial slack could weaken the positive effect of diversification into developed countries and enhance the negative effect of diversification into developing countries on EP. However, a firm's human resource slack could only weaken the positive effect of diversification into developed countries on EP. We conclude with a discussion of the implications of the findings.

“…One of attitudes of the commitment to nationality is the acceptance of the principles of the nation as stated in the 1945 Constitution and the regulations under it. Meanwhile, tolerance is characterised by recognition and acceptance of differences, willingness to give equal rights, individual awareness, openness and receptivity (Zanakis, Newburry & Taras 2016).…”

This study aimed to analyse the contribution of the Sufi order in stemming religion-based violence as a form of the Sufis’ response to rampant violence, extremism and religious radicalism. This study used a qualitative method in which the data were obtained through interviews, observation and documentation. Then they were analysed by using an interactive model. This study was carried out in three Sufi communities of the Sufi order Qadariyah wan Naqshabandiyah (TQN) in Indonesia, namely in Suryalaya Islamic Boarding School, Futuhiyyah Islamic Boarding School Mranggen and Darul Ulum Islamic Boarding School Jombang. The results of the study show that the three TQN orders have the concepts of dhikr and love, which are internalised in the act of Sufism. The Sufi order has the doctrines of love of God, mutual love, discourse of moderation and tolerance towards religion and other groups as the main instruments in the fight against religious radicalism. The resistance of the Sufis to religious radicalism shows that the Sufi order is cornered from attacks by formalist groups in religion. This fact reopens the historical archive of contradictions between the two major currents of Islamic thought and movement, Salafi versus Sufi. The counter-radicalism narrated by the Sufis of the three TQN communities represents their defensive attitude towards the aggressiveness of the textual and radical Salafis.Contribution: This article contributes to prevent and reduce the rise of religious radicalism in Indonesia. The doctrines of tanbih, mahabbah, tolerance and moderatism developed by the Sufis in the three TQN communities became a source of reference and inspiration for resistance to violence and religious radicalism.
