Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the concepts of brand integrity, brand reputation, brand crisis management and communication strategies used by brands to combat the cancel culture setting. This exploratory study may also aid marketing practitioners in developing appropriate crisis management strategies in response to such a crisis. Research Question: what is the relationship b

In recent years, the popularity of discontinuous Galerkin methods has increased. As shown in [19], a result exists that states that the Discontinuous Galerkin space approximations (DG) are equivalent to the Lobatto IIIC Runge-Kutta method. This thesis therefore outlines the adaptation of Hairer’s implementation of the Radau IIA Runge-Kutta method to the Lobatto IIIC method, extended with an adapta

The purpose of the study was to explore how the challenges from globalisation impact to education in Thailand. The study will scrutinise the consequences of the processes of globalisation in the scope of international media, political, social and economic crisis and look at how this consequences have impact on the education in Thailand focusing on the 1999 National Education Act. Müller’s theory (

Rusta sockerbetor för strid Sockerbetans främsta användning är för produktion av socker. De senaste 100 åren har man genom förädling ökat sockerhalten. Idag fortsätter optimeringen av sockerhalten, men förädlingen fokuserar även på andra områden såsom resistens mot skadeinsekter och virus. Persikbladlusen är en bladlus som kan angripa bland annat sockerbetan och sprida virus med stora ekonomiska Myzus persicae Sulzer is viewed as a pest since it feeds on crops and spreads viruses which affect yield if not dealt with in time. M. persicae is a vector for over 100 viruses. One such virus is called Beet mild yellowing virus (BMYV) which affects the leaves of sugar beet. Symptoms start with chlorosis at the tip of the leaf and spread until the whole leaf is yellow, brittle and thick. This resu

The terms “gender” and “sex” are central to feminist concerns. In English scholarship “gender” is disputed within and outside of feminism, despite its seemingly political correctness as an alternative to “sex” (Olson 2012; Gunnarsson 2011). This thesis aims to describe how “gender”, multi-word expressions with “gender”, and the derivative “gendered” are translated into Arabic target texts (TTs) by

Fysiologiska effekter av att växa upp under en värmebölja Med klimatförändringarna kommer en ökning av antalet värmeböljor. Det påverkar djur på olika sätt. Hos fåglar kan förändringen i temperatur under utvecklingen påverka tillväxt, ämnesomsättning och temperaturtolerans hos ungarna. Vi vet inte så mycket om hur dessa effekter stannar kvar till vuxen ålder. Detta är viktigt för att förstå effekWith a changing climate comes warmer periods all around the year and an increase in the frequency of heatwaves. This affects animals in different ways. In birds, changes in environmental temperature during the developmental period before or after hatching, which is expected during heatwaves, can directly affect growth, metabolism and temperature tolerance of the offspring. We know little about how

This thesis aims to explore the uses for digitised information in the archaeological knowledge process, specifically on how it can be used when studying Roman portraits. By communicating the entire process from data acquisition and analysis to knowledge transmission and mediation, I hope to indicate strengths and weaknesses in the use of digital representations as a proxy for a physical artefact.

Många vattenkraftverk i Sverige är uppbyggda med dammar som är designade för att läcka en viss mängd vatten baserat på materialet de är byggda med. Flödet av läckagevattnet mäts för att säkerställa dammens funktion, men vid många kraftverksdammar är mätbrunnarna och dräneringsrör fyllda med en rödbrun sörja som kallas rödslam. Rödslammet gör det omöjligt att mäta flödet korrekt, och kan i värsta fMany hydroelectric plants in Sweden are built using dams that are designed to leak a certain amount of water based on the material they are built with. The flow of the leakage water is measured to ensure proper function of the dams, but at several dams the measuring wells and drainage pipes are clogged with a red-brown sludge called Iron Ochre. The build-up of iron ochre is caused by specific bact

Levitoner är en typ av strömpulser i metaller och halvledarmaterial som beter sig precis som enskilda elektroner i rörelse.Genom dator simuleringarhar jag studerat hur levitoner uppför sig när de stöter på hinder i sin färdväg. Resultatet av dessa simuleringar indikerar att levitoner behåller sina elektronlika egenskaper även efter att de har passerat genom ett hinder.An interesting type of quasi-particles in solid-state materials are the so-called levitons. These are single- electron excitations above the Fermi-level that do not produce any hole states when carrying an integer multiple of the elementary charge. Levitons are produced when a quantum conductor is subjected to a time-dependent voltage pulse with a Lorentzian shape. The parameters of the voltage pu

Cultural sectors increasingly constitute a larger part of any country’s economy and as such, should be included into sustainability research and analysis. A rapidly growing industry within the cultural sector, this paper examines Europe’s electronic dance music sector as a case study. 13 actors from the sector were interviewed to determine the extent of sustainability’s integration into the norms

This thesis looks into the possible potentials and challenges of the ethnographic comic book, as a way to reflexively present anthropological knowledge and fieldwork experiences. This is explored through the analysis of two anthropological graphic novel projects, Lissa: A Story about Medical Promise, Friendship and Revolution (2017) and Gringo Love: Stories about Sex Tourism in Brazil (2020). Both

In 1993, Per Bak and Kim Sneppen proposed a model of co-evolution between species, where survival of a particular species affects the survival of its neighbouring species. In the discrete case of the model, each species, or an entry in a set with periodic boundary conditions, is an element x_i ∈ {0, 1}, in the set of size N, where x_i represents the fitness. An entry of the least fitness is chosen

Working from home, previously framed as the same concept as teleworking, is a practice that had already increased in the past decades, but the current health crisis (SARS-2 COVID19) exacerbated the number of home workers all of a sudden (Popovici & Lavinia, 2020). Thus, many workers were forced to manage the boundaries between work and home without experience nor the physical boundary that is

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore the phenomenon of unexpected collaborations between brands. Methodology: This paper follows a qualitative research approach. The research is centered around a multi-case study based on secondary data. In the analysis and discussion, the literature review is applied to the case studies to reveal patterns that lead to managerial- and theoretical impl

Sammanfattning Syftet med detta arbete är att utreda kopplingarna mellan fastighetsbildningslagen, plan- och bygglagen och jordförvärvslagen. Detta med inriktning på juridiska personers möjlighet att få bundenhet till mark i ett tidigt skede i en markexploateringsprocess. Syftet är också att utreda möjligheterna och konsekvenserna i de olika situationer som uppstår beroende på vilken lagstiftninThe purpose of this study is to investigate the possibility for a juristic person to acquire whole or part of a property in an early stage in the land exploitation process in Sweden. The study takes a closer look at the different approaches that a juristic person have at their disposal, one of them being the law called the Land Acquisition Act. The juristic or physical person can apply for an acqu

Amphibians are globally among the most endangered taxonomic groups of vertebrates. This is partly due to the chytrid fungus Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), which causes the disease chytridiomycosis, that have led to eradication of more than 90 species of amphibians worldwide. The spadefoot toad (Pelobates fuscus) is one of the Swedish red listed species (VU) that are at risk of being affecte

A Tale of Two Proteins: SepF2 and SepF3 You might have heard of antibiotic resistance, which is one of the biggest public health issues of our time. In addition to the measures that should be taken at all levels of society to combat this issue, research to identify new antimicrobial targets to alleviate the rapid emergence of antibiotic resistance has become crucial. Cell division proteins in bac

Cancer är en sjukdom där celler i kroppen för förmågan att dela sig okontrollerat, vilket bildar svulster som påverkar kroppens funktion eller som sprider sig till andra kroppsdelar. Eftersom det är ett stort hälsoproblem så har forskare försökt ta fram nya angreppspunkter mot tumörer förutom metoder som cellgifter, cellskadande strålning eller kirurgi. Immunförsvaret är ett antal olika celler ochBackground: Tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) that persist in chronic infections gradually lose their effector functions and become “exhausted”. Immune checkpoint blockade is an emerging cancer treatment which aims to induce exhausted TILs into regaining their effector function to fight neoplastic cells. However, response to treatment varies significantly between different cancer types and ma

Mortgage loan providers estimate the credit risks it caries when approving a mortgage loan to their clients. Further, defaulting a mortgage loan is a risk that has been calculated through decades using statistical models. By using entries at the time of a mortgage application, the goal of the thesis is to com- pare the accuracy between logistic regression and Support Vector Machine in predicting
