“Ett sätt för frilansare att ha kollegor” : En explorativ intervjustudie om socialt och professionellt utbyte på ett coworking space

Coworking space som kontorslösning är ett växande fenomen. Det är en global trend som erbjuder en lösning på många av de behov som finns på dagens arbetsmarknad till följd av förändringar såsom globalisering och teknologisk förändring. Trots detta är forskning på området mycket begränsad. Därför syftar denna uppsats till att utforska och analysera ett coworking space med avseende på socialt och pr

Fifteen years of customer engagement research : a bibliometric and network analysis

Purpose: In recent years, customer engagement (CE) with brands, which has been shown to yield enhanced firm sales, competitive advantage and stock returns, has risen to occupy a prominent position in brand management research and practice. Correspondingly, scholars have explored CE’s conceptualization, operationalization and its nomological networks as informed by different theoretical perspective

Etnisk inkludering i skilda valsystem – En jämförande studie av Botswana och Namibia

Stater i tredje världen är ofta mångetniska, till följd av kolonial gränsdragning. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur väl Arendt Lijpharts teori om konsensusdemokrati håller för att bygga etniskt konsensus i mångetniska stater. Detta ämne är av stort intresse, då etniska konfliktlinjer kan leda till krig och misär. Detta undersöktes genom att jämföra staterna Botswana respektive Namibia. Vi

Statskapacitetens påverkan på utveckling

Denna studie vill argumentera för statskapacitetens påverkan på politisk utveckling genom att jämföra Nord- och Sydkorea. På grund av supermakterna USA och Sovjetunionens krigföring splittrades Korea till nord- och syd. Länderna var till en början autokratier men med bland annat supermakternas bidrag lyckades Sydkorea utvecklas till en demokrati medan den nordkoreanska regimens makt bara stärktes.

The Effects of Violence on Political Trust in Mali. A Quantitative Analysis of How Levels of Insecurity and Violence, Affects Trust in Different Types of Security Actors.

This thesis generates new theory on how violence affects the levels of political trust toward state and non-state security actors in Mali. The theory that is generated will further be tested through a quantitative regression analysis to be able to answer the overarching research question of: In contexts with high levels of insecurity and violence, under what conditions do populations put their tru

Visitors' Destination Brand Engagement's Effect on Co-Creation : An empirical study

The emergence and rise of technology, including social media and online brand communities, have revolutionized consumer-brand interactions, thereby impacting consumer brand engagement and its outcomes. However, though social media-based brand engagement has developed into a key area of interest for brand managers, insight into its tourism-based dynamics and applications remains limited, particular

Getting a Spot on the Street: : Street Vendors’ Access to Public Space in Bogotá, Colombia.

Is it truly the "end" of public space? This handbook presents evidence that the answer is "no". In cities in different parts of the world, people still use public space to pursue activities of their choice.The book is divided into seven sections. The first section presents three emerging types of public space. Each of the subsequent five sections focuses on a type of activity: recreation, commerce

Correlation between ADC, ADC ratio, and Gleason Grade group in prostate cancer patients undergoing radical prostatectomy : Retrospective multicenter study with different MRI scanners

Background: MRI is an important tool in the prostate cancer work-up, with special emphasis on the ADC sequence. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between ADC and ADC ratio compared to tumor aggressiveness determined by a histopathological examination after radical prostatectomy.Methods: Ninety-eight patients with prostate cancer underwent MRI at five different hospitals prior to radi

The Effect of Consumer Values on Engagement and Behavioral Intent : Moderating Role of Age

The rise of online brand communities has transformed consumer/brand interactions, thus affecting consumer engagement and its nomological network. However, scholarly understanding regarding the effect of consumer values on their online engagement remains tenuous. Addressing this gap, we conceptualize a model that attempts to understand the relative effect of consumers’ values (terminal and instrume

Numerical simulation of flow past a square cylinder

2D and 3D unsteady flow past a rigid prism of a squarecross-section with one side facing the oncoming flow is numerically simulated for Reynolds numbers between 200 to 500. An incompressible code is used employing an implicit fractional step method finite-volume with second-order accuracy in space and time. For 2D flow, it is found that, for Re >300, the time-mean flow patterns are not perfectly s

CSR communication and the use of recycled synthetic fibres in the fashion industry: A content analysis study of two Swedish fashion brands

Fast och slow fashion, skillnader och likheter i användningen av återvunnen syntetisk fiber. Modeindustrin är bland de industrier som bidrar till de största miljömässiga problemen vad gäller utsläpp av växthusgaser, kemikalie- och vattenanvändning samt ohållbara avfall. Nu står de inför en förändring i att bli en mer hållbar industri, pådriven både från statligt håll samt från konsumenters håll.The fashion industry is one of the largest contributors to environmental issues and has a significant part of plastic production due to the use of synthetic fibres. Much scientific research indicates that the fast fashion model is a significant part of using synthetic fibres; however, slow fashion brands are also using the fibres. Communicating products' sustainable footprint has become an ess

Stakeholder engagement and business model innovation value

Despite important strides made in the business model literature, substantially less is known regarding its constituent sub-concept of business model innovation (BMI). In particular, the role and dynamics of different stakeholders’ BMI-related engagement remain nebulous, as therefore explored in this paper. Moreover, though business models are recognized to house firm-based value propositions, the

En diskursanalys över när Ryssland blev uteslutna ur kvalet till fotbolls-VM i Qatar 2022

This report's main interest is in the decision to exclude Russia from participating in the qualifying to the 2022 football World Cup in Qatar. This topic is important because the action that led to the exclusion was Russia's invasion of Ukraine. This was an action in the international- and political relations of the world and it has little to do with sports and the World Cup in football. W

Anhörigmigranters rättsliga skydd i tid och rum : En studie av skydd från våld i förhållande till vistelserätt i Sverige

This doctoral dissertation in public law maps and analyses protection from domestic violence for family migrants in relation to family migrants' right of stay in Sweden from 2000-2022.The thesis covers legal protection from domestic violence in three cases: a denied right of stay before immigration takes place if it can be assumed that the person applying for a residence permit based on family tie

Impact of Central Nodes in Information Propagation over Graphs

Många system kan representeras som grafer, alltifrån neurala nätverk och transportnätverk till något så vardagligt som våra umgängeskretsar. Om exempelvis Andrea är vän med Jona- than, så kan vi rita ut Andrea och Jonathan som var sin prick på ett paper och låta deras vän- skap representeras av en linje. På samma sätt kan vi enkelt lägga till fler personer (prickar) och rita fler linjer till alla There are many systems which can be represented as graphs, to say the least the networks in which we communicate with each other. Thorough understanding of graph structures enables better predictions of the dynamics in real life networks, such as the spreading of a disease in a community or failure propagation in a system. This thesis investigates information propagation over connected undirected

“Programming is Not That Hard!”. When a Science Center Visit Increases Young Women’s Programming Ability Beliefs

To increase engagement with science and technology, young people around the world are encouraged to attend activities at science centers. But how effective are these activities? Since women have weaker ability beliefs and interest in technology than men, it is especially important to learn how science center visits affect them. In this study, we tested if programming exercises offered to middle sc
