This study has aimed to problematize how luxury retail brands transfer luxury experience from offline to online and to contribute with knowledge on how they visually communicate in two different communication mediums. This study has been based on two research areas within luxury retail brands, visual merchandising and online visual merchandising. Further, as a result of the limited research on onl

Tack vare nytänkande teknik och den tekniska utvecklingen, har en kombination av Cloud Computing, Internet of Things och Data Analytics kunnat realisera fenomenet smarta hem. Med syfte om att underlätta hushållens vardag genom diverse smarta enheter har tekniken med ständigt internetanslutna enheter i hushållen som hanterar känslig och personligt identifierbar data, har dock orosmoln kring den per

This paper investigates the UK REIT sector in response to the Brexit vote and compares it to the REIT sector of other central European countries. The underlying consideration for the research question is related to the vote’s economical impact on the direct real estate market. The aim of the study is not only to detect whether the stock market reflects the information about a future demand shift i

Denna studie ämnar öka förståelsen för hur strategiska narrativ, i en övergripande gestaltningsprocess, gör sig uttryckt som strategi i moderna påverkanskampanjer. I ett modernt medielandskap där flera statliga aktörer använder avancerad in-formationskrigföring krävs fler studier kring hur desinformation identifieras och bemöts. Studien baseras på kvalitativ fallstudie gällande fallet Skripal. SomThe aim of this study is to increase the understanding of how strategic narratives, through framing, as a strategy in modern influence campaigns. In a modern me-dia landscape, where multiple states are performing advanced information war-fare, the demand for studies on how disinformation can be debunked is higher than ever. Our empirical data has been collected through a single qualitative case st

Dagvatten är regnvatten som hamnar på hårdgjorda ytor i urbana miljöer. Traditionellt sett har detta letts bort via olika rörledningar under marken för att sedan ledas till en recipient som ett vattendrag, en sjö eller ett hav. När regnen får större flöden och blir mer frekventa kan dessa ledningar få problem med att klara dessa stora flöden. Ett sätt att lösa detta på är att skapa öppna lösningar

Det finns brister med det stöd som ges till föräldrar som har ett cancersjukt barn i ett palliativt skede. Bristerna kan öka lidandet hos föräldrarna.

Resultatet visar på tre huvudteman: Kommunikation, Relation och Praktisk omvårdnad. En öppen

Apart from the previous writings about fetishism within a paraphilic discourse in the medical and psychology fields, fetishism, from an individual perspective, is a rather under-studied field and somewhat of a blind spot in the adjoining field of BDSM-studies in both a Swedish and international context. Fetishism can be defined as the ability of feeling a sense of satisfaction when handling or bei

The purpose of this study was to examine how professionals at institutions with same gender twelve-steps treatments view the individual’s responsibility for drug- and alcoholic problems and solutions. Further, the purpose was to examine how treatment is organized and carried out from a gender perspective. The gathering of the empirical material was done through four (4) semi structured interviews

Rodrigo Roa Duterte was elected president of the Philippines in 2016. He launched a violent War on Drugs only one day after his assumption of the presidency. In his inaugural speech, Duterte described his adherence to the rule of law as uncompromising. At the same time, he has publicly promised to kill anyone who is involved in the drug business and encouraged the police and ordinary citizens to d

Flera av läroplanens formuleringar är vaga och lämnas okommenterade av Skolverket. Det skapar en osäkerhet om hur lärare förväntas tolka innehållet och arbeta med det. Vi har fokuserat denna studie på den vaga frasen ”ur flera perspektiv” som återfinns i kunskapskravet om litterär analys i kursen Svenska 3. Vi anser att en praxis ännu inte har etablerats och vi vill bidra till dokumentation av den

I Sverige finns tusentals nedlagda soptippar, även kallade deponier. Deponier kan vara en miljörisk då regn och ytvatten tränger genom deponin och lakar ur föroreningar från avfallet som sedan kan spridas i miljön. När avfallet bryts ned kan dessutom gaser bildas som kan resultera i brand eller explosion. Under 2007-2008 inventerade Helsingborgs stad sina nedlagda deponier. Vid inventeringen gjord

Syftet med denna studie är att kartlägga för- och nackdelarna med den nya digitala ritningshanteringen gentemot den traditionella hanteringen med pappersritningar. Vilka incitament som finns för att motivera den nya arbetsmetoden och om kan det påvisas att det bidrar till en effektivare produktion samt att det ger en ekonomisk fördel. Det är en kvalitativ studie som har utförts i form av en falls

Previous research suggests that gender wage discrimination contributes to economic growth in the context of female-dominated low-tech manufacturing and patriarchal employment systems, such as the ones found in the East Asian Tigers in the 1960s to 1980s. In a panel data analysis, this thesis investigates the relationship between the gender wage gap and economic growth in the four East Asian Tigers

Climate change is real and imminent, and mitigation and adaptation responses are vital and urgent. Denmark is renowned for its aspirations for sustainability and concerns in that regard, especially among its citizenry. Nevertheless, high-impact lifestyles persist which put an excessive pressure on the global climate system and expose a tension between pro-environmental dispositions and actual cons

The aim with this essay was to study professionals and directors reasonings when in comes to integrating people with mental disabilities into the community. My intention was to gain knowledge and understanding about the work that is being done in supported housing for people with mental disabilities. I have assumed a qualitative approach and conducted semistructured interviews. I have interviewed

The current study sets out to investigate the narrative functions of props that take the particular form of portable communication devices (more specifically walkie-talkies and airplane phones) in Die Hard (1988) and Die Hard 2: Die Harder (1990). The methodology used is the semiotic concepts of denotation and connotation with a supporting theoretical framework based on two principal forms of prop

Genom att utvärdera Skochparametern och skapa tre konceptkompressorer har examensarbetet försökt komma till en slutsats om hur bladens längdförhållande påverkar en kompressors verkningsgrad och stabilitet. Skochparametern visade sig fungera mindre bra som ett verktyg och det visade sig att ett lägre längdförhållande innebar en liten minsking i verkningsgrad, men en betydande ökning i stabilitet. The design of an axial compressor is mainly the trade-off between efficiency, stability and cost. A parameter that affects all of these three aspects is the blade aspect ratio. Due to the intricacy and complexity of the flow in a compressor, solely the effect of the blade aspect ratio variation is difficult to obtain. A parameter that supposedly is a gauge of the combined airfoil and end wall loa

Huntington’s disease is a hereditary neurodegenerative disease caused by an expansion of CAG repeats in the huntingtin (HTT) gene. HD is fully penetrant around 40 CAG repeats and is characterized by motor impairments, psychiatric disturbances and cognitive deterioration. Unintended weight loss is also a clinical feature of HD, leading to reduced morality and a decline in quality of life in HD pati
