This thesis explores the standardisation process of the Hokkaido Dialect, a Japanese variety spoken on Japan’s northernmost island. This dialect, in turn, will be compared to the island of Okinawa and its regional equivalent Uchinaa-Yamatoguchi. These islands are parallel to each other as they share similar historical and political events. To investigate the standardisation process and to be able

Title: Managing the Semi-Fictive Brand Persona – In Theory and Practice Submission date: 28th of May 2018 Course: BUSN39 Degree Project in Global Marketing Authors: Emma Jungerth & Sam Lidström Supervisor: Mats Urde, mats.urde@fek.lu.se Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the phenomenon of Semi-Fictive Brand Personas and to further broaden the understanding through a communic

Varför drabbas vi av cancer och varför är den så svår att bota? Cancer är i grund och botten en okontrollerad tillväxt av vävnad som orsakas av mutationer i vårt DNA. Denna ackumulerade vävnad kallas för tumör, och efter hand som tumören växer och sprider sig kan den slå ut livsnödvändiga organ i kroppen. Kroppen har ett naturligt försvar mot cancer och de tumörer som uppstår genom immunförsvaret.Immune checkpoint inhibitors have drastically improved the prognosis for several cancer patients, but still the exact underlying mechanism behind cancer immune escape and the role of individual immune cell populations remains poorly understood. Thus, further insights into the level of immune cell infiltration in cancers, their functional role, level of activation and maturity are warranted in orde

Coastal erosion has increased worldwide during the last decades, mostly due to human activities. Vietnam is not spared, where many places within the country suffer from beach erosion. This report focuses on the region around Thu Bon river mouth in the central part of Vietnam. The beaches next to the river mouth are experiencing severe erosion, especially Cua Dai Beach. The beach is totally eroded

This thesis concludes that financially distressed targets’ shareholders gain significantly higher premiums. Acquirers’ shareholders suffer from value destruction in the short-run when acquiring distressed targets, whereas in the long-run value is created. However, both findings are insignificantly different from non-distressed M&As. Key long-term value drivers in distressed M&As are relati

Bangka Island has been known as the most important tin producer in the world. Tin has developed the economy of the local people and even Indonesia in general. Unfortunately, mining is not only operated by corporations, but also by local people without proper procedures, resulting in a ruined landscape and ecosystem. Eventually, on 8th February 2016 a flood occurred and influenced the emotions of t

Problem - Skanska Industrial Solutions AB lays asphalt over a wide geographical area, and never in the same place and is also a work that is dependent on the weather. Asphalt is a product with low to no capacity to be stored. These factors contribute to a distribution that has the necessity to follow the JIT-principles. The asphalt production is in of a steady flow of asphalt being transported fro

The VAT system has been operating since 1967 across the European Union and is currently still in need to be adopted as definitive. Some issues should be confronted in 2018 before the implementation towards a fairer and simpler system. The proposal from the Commission set up in 2016 details the changes taken into account. As a cornerstone of the mentioned VAT system, this thesis will analyse the

I ett allt mer individbaserat samhälle, med ett skifte från normer när det gäller levnadssätt till allas unika livsval, ser vi ett ökat behov av boende för olika typer av konstellationer. Kärnfamiljen är inte lika självklar längre, ensamhushållen är fler och separationer är vanligt. Människor kan välja att bli förälder på egen hand och tvåsamhet som en självklarhet ifrågasätts helt och hållet. Vi In our individualized society, with a shift from strict norms on how we live our lives to everyone’s own unique lifestyle, we see a growing need for diversified housing for different types of constellations. The nuclear family is not a certainty anymore, the number of single residencies have increased and separations are common. People can choose to become a parent on their own and twosome relatio

Gallium nitride (GaN) nanowires grown using catalyst-free metal organic vapor phase epitaxy were used as scanning tunneling microscope (STM) probes. The probes were prepared by placing a GaN nanowire on a tungsten STM probe using a nanomanipulator in a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and welding them together using an electron beam induced platinum deposition. STM imaging was performed on indiuA microscopy field known as Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM), uses various methods to get a picture of a sample surface down to such a small scale that individual atoms can be observed. One particular method to perform such microscopy uses the phenomena of quantum tunneling rather than using visible light. This method is called Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and the way it works is extremely d

The collective fight for self-determination among indigenous peoples around the world has made headlines over the past few years. The exploitation of indigenous territories by settler-states has revived nationalist feelings among the groups, including the Sami, whose territories spread across four states. This thesis aimed to explore how Sami national identity is constructed, shaped and promoted

Området Ramlösa station och Helsingborgs godsbangård innefattar bland annat resecentrum, rangerbangård, tågdepåer och kombiterminal för att nämna några. Utöver det är området en del i stadsförnyelseprojekt H+ som ska omvandla en miljon kvadratmeter till en mer blandad stad, för att möta framtidens behov. Inom området har aktörer tillkommit, försvunnit och behovet har förändrats över tid. Det har o

From the beginning of the 21st century, there has been a tendency to hybridize Buddhism with modern technology, which embodies rich ambiguities. At the conference AI World 2016, a robotic monk Xian’er with artificial intelligence(AI) premiered in China and was claimed as the icon of the harmony of techno-Buddhism. This paper will explore the ambiguity of Xian’er – why and how the harmony comes int

Målet med detta arbete var att rena fram proteinet Chlamydia trachomatis ribonucleotide reductase R1 Δ248. För att göra detta effektivt, med en så liten förlust av proteinet som möjligt under processen, så krävs kunskap om proteinets egenskaper. Med vetskapen att denna mutant, som saknar de första 248 aminosyrorna jämfört med den icke-muterade varianten, enbart har en ATP-kon medan den icke-muteraThe enzyme Ribonucleotide Reductase (RNR) reduces ribonucleotides (NTPs) to deoxyribonucleotides (dNTPs), which are then used as building blocks in the synthesis of DNA. In this thesis are reported the expression and purification of a mutant version of Chlamydia trachomatis Ribonucleotide Reductase protein R1 , called Chlamydia trachomatis Ribonucleotide Reductase protein R1 Δ248. The R1 subunit o

STI (Soil Topografic Index) är ett hydrologiskt index som beskriver markfuktigheten i ett landskap. Då indexet är baserat på de relativt konstanta faktorerna topografi, jordens textur och jorddjup beskriver det ett generellt markfuktighetsmönster. Indexet applicerades på jordbruksmark i Helsingborgs kommun för att få kunskap om vilka områden markfuktigheten tenderar att vara låg eller hög. Vid extThe index STI describes water flow path in a landscape. Whit the help of STI it´s possible to detect areas where the soil moisture is expected to be very high or low. When comparing the result of the STI for the chosen study-area with interviews for farmers in the same area, where was a similarity between which areas the STI identified as risk for high soil moisture and which areas the farmers ide

Background Depressive disorders, specifically major depressive disorder (MDD), is predicted to become the leading cause of disease burden worldwide by 2030. In the United States, MDD is already the leading cause of disability. Yet, less than 50 percent of US adults diagnosed with a mental disorder seek treatment, often due to lack of health coverage or affordability. In 2014, the Affordable Care A
