This paper aims to synthesise and build further on recent research of consumer behaviour, in order to explain how the industry affects consumer behavioural intentions towards early phase innovations. The rationale for this relies on the non-accessibility of early phase innovations and the implication that they cannot yet be experienced by consumers, which further means they cannot be objectively e

In order to be able to fold packaging material into good looking packages with maintained barrier properties, the material is first provided with folding indications. This process is called creasing and it is carried out by passing the paperboard between two rollers holding tools which create a permanent deformation in the paperboard, according to a predetermined pattern. These tools have looked

When an automatic swing door is used in an entrance, the energy consumption increases. This is because the door cannot detect when the user has passed and therefore, for safety reasons, stands in the open position for too long. To make automatic swing doors more sustainable one needs smarter sensors that can cover a larger area and communicate with the door. In this thesis 11 different concepts of

The purpose of this project is to examine if the existence of a credit rating and if the level of credit rating for the acquirer and target influences which financing source is used in cross-border and domestic M&As. The empirical methods used are the probit and GLM logit models. The dependent variables are the binary, payment method, and the fraction of cash. The main explanatory variables ar

Vad innebär det att spela en transkription? Är transkriptionen relevant? Vilka är skillnaderna och likheterna mellan olika transkriptioner? I syfte att fördjupa mig i transkriptioner inom klassisk musik, valde jag att utgå från Schuberts arpeggionesonat. Ett stycke som transkriberats många gånger för många olika instrument och som, från början, är skrivet för ett instrument som hade en kort tid a

The present study aimed at investigating the recent phenomenon termed Fear of missing out (FOMO), which builds on a feeling of constantly having to be connected to what other people are doing on social media in order to not miss out.

The rapid urbanisation in Namibia led to the fast expansion of informal settlements, which are mainly characterised by a lack of basic services, such as running water, sanitation or electricity. To counteract the poor situation of informal settlements, land ownership is often argued to be a solution. While it is assumed to be an incentive for residents of informal settlements to invest in land dev

The Palace Museum in Beijing is selected as the case study and the followers of this museum on Weibo as the

Höganäs AB is developing an axial flux machine, where an even airgap between the stator and rotor is a vital parameter when designing a well functioning machine. It is believed that the stator is the component that introduces the biggest variations to the airgap, and that is why the stator is the object of investigation for this thesis. The stator is made of metal powder and the steps in the manuf

Kemi är en viktig del i våra dagliga liv och den är fylld med många invecklade processer och mekanismer. Några av oss kanske kommer ihåg tumregeln ”lika löser lika” från kemiundervisningen. Detta påstående stämmer i de flesta sammanhangen inom kemin och kan i vissa fall leda till problem om vi till exempel hade haft smutsig tvätt och enbart hade använt vatten vid rengöringen. När vi använder vat4-Bromo-3-methylaniline was used as the starting block to synthesise a Tröger’s base analogue with the aim of fusing the final monomer into a nanotube. The intermediates were to be characterised using 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR, infrared-, high resolution mass spectrometry, elemental analysis, and X-ray crystallography amongst other. At the end, 356 mg of N-((5R,6S,11R,12S)-8-amino-6,12-bis(methoxymethyl)-1,

Several organizations claim menstruation and lack of proper sanitary protection to be one reason for lower school attendance in developing countries. These claims are stated to cause lower progression rates to secondary school among girls, and further increase the gender gap in enrollment to higher education.
