With an estimated market size value of 6.7 trillion USD in 2020 and a CAGR of 17.5% from 2020 to 2027 (Grand View Research, 2020) there is no denying that B2B e-commerce offers great opportunities to reap the benefits of the growth. However
This study aims to determine the operational feasibility of utilizing banana cultivation by-products as an alternative raw material in bioplastic production, replacing bio-based feedstock that is otherwise used as food in Thailand. By following the exploratory qualitative research approach, a combination of secondary sources of information together with interviews with the identified stakeholders
Bakgrund: Coronapandemin har medfört restriktioner för riskgruppen 70 år och äldre som uppmanades att undvika nära kontakter, vilket resulterade i att många isolerade sig i sina hem. Deras vardag och möjlighet till aktivitet och delaktighet förändrades plötsligt. Det finns begränsat med kunskap om hur restriktionerna påverkade äldre personers vardag och hälsa. Syfte: Att undersöka hur personer 70
The aim of this thesis is twofold: First, the possibilities of constructing a theory of sociology of philosophy by considering Moishe Postones reinterpretation of Marx's critical theory is explored. This critical sociology of philosophy is constructed upon Postones notion that capitalist modernity is constituted by peculiar social relations grounded on the category of the commodity, more speci
Several scholars and practitioners recognize that entrepreneurial motivation (EM) changes over time. Yet, it remains unexplored to date how the dynamic character of EM unfolds throughout the entrepreneurial process. The purpose of this thesis is to explore how EM changes along the new venture process by investigating the impact of critical incidents within the entrepreneur’s context on the dynamic
Hösten 2015 kom 163 000 asylsökande till Sverige, en händelse som i folkmun kommit att kallas ”flyktingkrisen 2015”. Det inträffade under en tid när högerpolitiskt orienterade partier växte sig allt starkare i Sverige och fortsätter att göra så än idag. Mot bakgrund av detta så är det av intresse att undersöka hur utlänningar konstrueras som grupp i ett samhällsklimat som tenderar att förhålla sig
Plastic has brought great benefits to human life, but it has also given rise to serious environmental problems as “microplastic” threatening the living organisms. Due to the promising properties, the polymer poly (ethylene) terephthalate (PET) has been widely used for packaging and textiles industries with large annual demand and low recycle rate. The imbalance between the production and recycling
This empirical study seeks to initiate a new field of study. Through panel data analysis the relationship between Chinese FDI, non-Chinese FDI, and government debt in Sub-Saharan Africa is investigated. The model is expanded to include resource endowment and political stability variables. This is contextualized with the narrative of debt-trap diplomacy. This controversial notion is relatively well
Biological drugs have the potential to trigger unwanted immunogenic responses in patients which might affect the efficacy and safety of the treatment. Evaluating the immunogenicity throughout the drug development process is therefore crucial. For measuring the activity of a biological drug and antibodies against the drug, cell-based reporter gene assays can be used. The iLite reporter gene system
Rock art is the closest we have to a written language from the Bronze age. The different motifs make us wonder what stories they tell us, what they are representing and why they were even made in the first place. The focus of this thesis is on the placement of rock art motifs on the panel and by using digital techniques like photogrammetry and GIS, the spatial relation between different motifs is
This thesis started with a desire to delve into the impact that natural disasters have on small communities in an Australian context, how climate change exacerbates their effect, and the role that design can play in mitigating the impact on people and the natural environment. Initial research into bushfires, drought, floods, and heat landed this project in Western Sydney, in an area not far from w
The competitive landscape of the dairy industry is changing. In the western markets, the consumption of some traditional dairy products is declining, while plant-based dairy alternatives are seeing double-digit growth. Several factors have contributed to this change, which act as both drivers and moderators of the business model innovation efforts of dairy incumbent firms. The purpose of this thes
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is often considered to be favorable to long-run economic growth and has in recent years been promoted as a poverty-reducing tool. Although FDI to developing countries has increased rapidly in recent decades, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) has been unsuccessful in attracting large inflows of FDI. This study assesses the effect FDI has had on poverty and human development i
Människor kan utveckla betydande och långvariga relationer till varumärken för att hantera känslomässig ensamhet. Dessa varumärkesrelationer kan liknas vid interpersonella relationer eftersom det uppstår liknande emotionella band mellan parterna. Människor kan även använda varumärken för självuttryck vilket i sin tur kan skapa en tillhörighet till andra människor. Till följd av de förändrade levna
This paper faces the problem of audio synthesis with Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), with an attempt to create novel, original high-quality samples of drums that could be used within the realm of music production. My results show that it is possible to create high-quality drum samples with architecture such as DCGAN (Deep Convolutional GAN) and that using causal and dilated convolutions is
