Many museums face the problem of low engagement on social media which is disadvantageous for them to improve brand relationships with their audience. This study aims to investigate the influential factors on the online audience perception of the museum by applying the brand resonance model. The Palace Museum in Beijing is selected as the case study and the followers of this museum on Weibo as the
Natural products are an important source of novel structure and biological activity and often form the basis for the development of new medicines and pesticides. Organic synthesis plays and important in this process from addressing supply to providing access to novel structures through semi-synthesis. The [5.5.5.6]dioxafenestrane family of compounds, which feature four fused rings are attractive,
This paper examines discursive and performative strategies used by four feminist grassroot organizations in their struggle for free abortion in Chile. With the aim to analyse how the organizations articulate their political vision, I discuss different ways in which they challenge current criminalization on abortion. The empirical data was collected from the organization’s social media platforms an
Det här examensarbetet undersöker hur blick, makt och arkitektur är sammanflätade. Utgångspunkten för projektet är en bok från 1903 skriven av den tyska dramatikern och författaren Frank Wedekind. Boken, "Mine-Haha eller om unga flickors kroppsliga uppfostran" och är en märklig allegorisk berättelse om en grupp flickor på en internatskola. På skolan tränas de till att ta kontroll över siThis thesis project investigates how gaze, power and architecture are entwined. The starting point for the project is a book from 1903, written by German writer and playwright Frank Wedekind. The novella, called "Mine-haha or On the bodily education of young girls" is a strange allegorical story about a group of girls going to a border school. At this school they learn to control their b
User onboarding has become an increasingly important aspect in applications due to the shift towards the Software as a Service business model in software companies. This results in that companies need to make sure their customers are successful with the service, or they will loose customers. An effective user onboarding strategy can give the user a good start in becoming successful in the service.
This thesis examines if the amount of labour intensity within a sector changes the effect that the real effective exchange rate have on output. Fixed panel data regressions for Sweden, Norway and Denmark lend support to the hypothesis that labour intensive sectors’ output react more to changes in the real exchange rate than its less labour intensive counterparts. The regressions show that the labo
Academic research has tried to explain the challenges women in executive positions face in connection to work-life balance, glass ceiling and the gender gap in management. However, these previous studies have been made mainly quantitatively. Therefore, this study aims to go beyond the numbers by using a qualitative research approach. This thesis has collected in-depth data through interviews with
One fifth of the energy consumed by buildings in Sweden is by those built before 1945, many of them constructed from solid masonry walls. Improving their heating energy consumption is a challenge we must face in light of human’s impact on climate change as well as increasing energy costs. Improving thermal performance can be achieved with many insulating materials however the environmental impact
Interdisciplinary teams are considered to be of great importance for addressing complex problems of the present and future, as they are able to address the complexity of society’s most pressing issues such as climate change, or healthcare solutions. They can be found in multiple areas concerned with future- related problems. Research on specific fields such as healthcare and social work suggests t
Entrepreneurial finance is of key importance for young firms and as in any other hierarchical structure, it is strongly linked with the agency dilemma. While the principal-agent dilemma has been well documented in large companies, there is a limited contribution focused on agency theory within start-ups and young firms. When considering new enterprises, the key actors do not fit quite so neatly in
Following the structural transformation process in the 1990s, the government of Saxony set its hopes on the microelectronic cluster in its region to foster regional development and international competition. It is uncertain whether the cluster of Silicon Saxony has managed to meet these expectations. By comparing the cluster to four other major microelectronic clusters in Europe, the study assesse
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
4-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,
Action Research, Participatory Action Research and participatory methods have faced a number of criticisms, including that they do not actually involve citizens or create social change, and that they are tokenistic. This thesis develops and tests a new participatory method that contributes to a democratic and emancipatory PAR that responds to these criticisms and the shortcomings of current method
Difficulty to empty the package is one of the main reason of food waste in yoghurt at consumer level with an estimated 5-10% of product residue being left on the packaging material. The phenomenon of product build up is explained by numerous hypothesis. However, these studies are empirical in nature. The purpose of this study is to develop a tool box to address the link between the physicochemical
Background: Sustained attention, which is essential for any cognitively planned activity, is very important for everyday life. White noise is typically thought of as a distractor for one’s attention that may be detrimental to cognitive performance. However, recent studies have some counterintuitive findings, indicating proper white noise can improve attention and cognitive performance. In addition
