Background/Problematization: Iconic brands are the gold standard of branding and have established a central role in the consumers’ lives. Behind every iconic brand, we can find iconic products. Despite the importance of these products, iconic products are overlooked in academia. Few studies have explored the concept and there is no common definition or comprehensive framework. This is restrictive
In a phase of instability during the dynamical evolution of some multiple exoplanetary systems, exchange of angular momentum and/or energy through gravitational interactions between planets will lead to alterations of their orbital properties. In some cases, planetary orbits end up crossing, which leads to close encounters between two planets. In turn, they undergo a planet--planet scattering even
Bluetooth is a short-range technology, it helps with wireless communication between many electronic devices. Bluetooth low energy (BLE) is the advanced version of Bluetooth which uses low energy compared to the standard Bluetooth. Bluetooth mesh technology play a crucial role in the Internet of things (IoT). The IoT mesh technology enables many-to-many and one-to-many communication. This project d
Oat starch, like starch from other plants, is composed of amylose and amylopectin. The arrangement and abundance of these polysaccharides offers distinct properties to the formed starch. Starch with an elevated amount of amylose is of commercial interest and amount of amylose present in oats differs within cultivars. In this study, a mutant oat population developed by CropTailor was screened usin
The study considers the phenomenon of double alienation, by which is meant the immigrant’s feeling of in a sense being alienated in their native country as well as in the new one. Those elements of their behaviour which are common in the one country or the other are expected there, whereas those which are not are seen as strange and different. This gives the immigrant a feeling of being at home in
Vi lever idag i en värld vars system och strukturer tillåter oss människor att konsumera och producera långt över våra tillgångar. Om inga åtgärder görs riskerar vi oåterkalleliga förändringar i klimat och miljö som kommer att påverka förutsättningarna för kommande generationer. Klimatkrisen är global men vi måste agera lokalt. Nu. Hur vi utformar byggnader och samhällen har stor inverkan på milj
The West Bank attracts countless researchers due to the conflict’s intractable label. On one hand, these researchers are drawn to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict due to logistical reasons: accessibility to the area, academic prestige, ample funding, grant and networking opportunities. On the other, researchers are allured due to an Orientalist fascination with conducting fieldwork in the West Ban
Utarmningen av resurser är ett växande problem som har påskyndat behovet att förändra våra konsumtionsmönster. Gamla, linjära modeller för produktion måste ersättas av nya tillvägagångssätt som minskar mängden avfall och maximerar värdet genom hela produktens livscykel. Denna strategi förkroppsligas av den Cirkulära Ekonomin (CE). En viktig del av CE är återbruk, det vill säga att gamla produkter The growing threat of resource depletion has spurred on the need to change how we consume. Old, linear modes of production must be replaced by an approach that reduces waste and maximizes value throughout the product’s entire life cycle. This strategy is embodied by the Circular Economy (CE). A key aspect of CE is reuse, referring to the repurposing of old products to avoid generating waste and de
Världen och samhället på alla nivåer har i samband med Covid-19 ställts inför en kris. I organisationer bär ledarna i samband med en kris ansvaret för krishantering. Denna uppsats analyserar ledares upplevelse av att leda i kris inom organisationer samt ger förslag för hur krisledarskap kan förbättras. Uppsatsen har en kvalitativ ansats och den deskriptiva fenomenologiska metoden ligger till grun
The aim of this master thesis was to analyse the possibility to use fibre optic cables for critical safety features in high reliability facilities. In more detail, this report investigates how transferred data in fibre optic cables are affected by fire and if there is any risk that the data becomes corrupted or lost when exposed to fire conditions. This report also investigates if this risk can be
This paper examines the trade effects of increased trade policy uncertainty following the Brexit referendum by viewing the referendum’s influence on UK exports of goods to EU27 during the time period 2012-2019. This is done to give insight of how trade policy uncertainty can impact real economic behaviour, even when no classical trade barriers are changed. Methodologically, this is approached by e
To move to lower modes in extreme ultra-violet lithography (EUVL) technology (and keep up with Moore’s law), new sources of soft X-ray radiation must be developed. It is clear from previous studies that Free Electron Lasers (FELs) can easily meet the in-band power requirements at these lower wavelength modes, however detailed studies for insertion devices (undulators) as a soft X-ray lithography (
The aim of this paper is to study what role sustainability commitments of the target company have on merger strategies by studying bid premiums determinants between the years 2000 and 2020. The paper uses multivariable regression models that include, among other variables, the degree the target company commits to sustainability and the difference in how much the target and the acquirer commit to s
There have been much effort during the last decade towards resilience of critical infrastructures, but the research differs and resilience within critical infrastructures is still seen as a relatively new and unexplored area. The purpose of this work is to provide an understanding of how critical infrastructures in Sweden work with resilience. The objective is to create a general framework that ca
Tucker Carlson Tonight och Hannity är två konservativa, republikanskt vinklade, nyhetsprogram på den amerikanska nyhetskanalen Fox News (Grynbaum, 2020). Under sommaren år 2020 hade de två programmen flest tittarsiffror av alla amerikanska program på kabelkanaler i USA. Detta, trots att de stödjer ett republikanskt parti som enligt V-deminstitutets demokratiindex under flera år brutit mot ett fler
Bakgrund: Fysisk aktivitet har beprövad positiv effekt för personer med stressrelaterad ohälsa men är inte välstuderat inom Aktivitetsvetenskap. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva vilka typer av fysisk aktivitet personer med stressrelaterad ohälsa ägnar sig åt, i vilken omfattning de utförs samt beskriva vilka aktivitetsvärde personer med stressrelaterad ohälsa upplever i samband med fysisk aktivitet.Background: Physical activity has positive effects for people with stress related illness, but is not well studied within occupational therapy and occupational science. Aim: The aim was to describe to what extent people with stress related illness engage in physical activity, which types of physical activity they perform and their perceived occupational value when performing physical activity. Met
Uppsatsen analyserar forskningslitteraturens orsaksförklaringar till den muslimska radikaliseringen i Tjetjenien från 1990 fram till och med 2000 talet. Frågeställningarna som besvarats berör faktorerna bakom radikaliseringen i Tjetjenien, vilken plats islam har i förklaringar till radikaliseringen samt vilka likheter och skillnader det finns i olika orsaksförklaringarna. Radikaliseringens orsaksf
I denna uppsats har jag analyserat hur karaktärerna i tv-serien I Mumindalen framställs ur ett genusperspektiv. Att valet föll på tv-serien hade främst att göra med att jag såg hur barn bearbetar det de ser genom den fria leken och önskade därför undersöka närmare vad som egentligen förmedlas via tv-program för barn. Tv-serien bygger på Tove Janssons böcker och mitt urval begränsades till de avsni
