In 2022 Victoria's Secret had a brand awareness of 85% in the United States, a feat that any marketeer would perceive as great or even amazing. However, while brand awareness was high, revenues had been on a constant decline since 2017, continuing to show signs of uncertainty for the corporation. It is possible that the history of the brand explains where it strayed from the path to success t
Aim: The aims of part II is to review the current recommended treatment of exercise-induced asthma (EIA), respiratory and allergic disorders in sports, to review the evidence on possible improvement of performance in sports by asthma drugs and to make recommendations for their treatment. Methods: The literature cited with respect to the treatment of exercise induced asthma in athletes (and in asth
A measurement of W boson production in lead-lead collisions at root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV is presented. It is based on the analysis of data collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2011 corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 0.14 nb(-1) and 0.15 nb(-1) in the muon and electron decay channels, respectively. The differential production yields and lepton charge asymmetry are each measured as
This thesis applies the Black-Litterman (BL) model on the stocks that makes up the Swedish stock index OMXS30 during the year of 2012. Public information in the form of stock recommendations from financial institutions has been used as views in the BL-framework. A method of estimating confidence in these views has been analyzed and further clarified. The testing consists of two BL-portfolios along
This thesis investigates and compares the risk-adjusted returns of Swedish investment companies and small-cap mutual funds to determine which investment option is more advantageous for Swedish private investors. The study also examines whether diversification of assets can provide additional benefits. Using data from a fifteen-year period (2009-2023) and applying modern portfolio theories and fina
Heart failure is one of the most common reasons for death in the modern society. As the field of tissue engineering is evolving, cardiac patches as treatment for suffering patients holds future promise. However, methods for efficient purification of cardiomyocytes from biopsies are lacking, hindering the development of such solutions. Here a novel method for separation of cardiomyocytes in a micro
Countering the effects of human-induced environmental threats around the world is more urgent than ever. At the same time the power of companies has increased in the last decades. Activities of companies are capable of affecting human health negatively and in some cases the effects are so severe as to give rise to human rights violations. The question that is asked in this thesis is whether this p
Title: Knowledge acquisition for a new business model creation and enabling factors Date of the seminar: 28-05-2015 Course: Master Corporate Entrepreneurship and Innovation Internship and Degree Project (Master Thesis 15 ECTS) Authors: Dovilė Gedvilaitė and Shubhabrata Paul Supervisor: Dr. Joakim Winborg Keywords: business model innovation, change, creation, knowledge, knowledge acquisition
Alveolar capillary dysplasia with misalignment of pulmonary veins (ACD/MPV) is a rare and lethal developmental disorder of the lung defined by a constellation of characteristic histopathological features. Nonpulmonary anomalies involving organs of gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and genitourinary systems have been identified in approximately 80% of patients with ACD/MPV. We have collected DNA an
This Letter reports evidence of triple gauge boson production pp -> W(l nu)gamma gamma + X, which is accessible for the first time with the 8 TeV LHC data set. The fiducial cross section for this process is measured in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 20.3 fb(-1), collected by the ATLAS detector in 2012. Events are selected using the W boson decay to e nu or mu nu as well
Measurements of charged particle distributions, sensitive to the underlying event, have been performed with the ATLAS detector at the LHC. The measurements are based on data collected using a minimum-bias trigger to select proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of 900 GeV and 7 TeV. The "underlying event" is defined as those aspects of a hadronic interaction attributed not to the hard
Seismic refraction imaging is a technique that has seen an increase of applications in engineering during recent years. In the work presented here a case of refraction tomography in the city of Copenhagen is discussed. The survey included two modalities; 1. a surface survey where 13.9 kilometers of crooked lines along segments of the planned underground metro were mapped, 2. borehole “walk-away” sSeismic refraction imaging is a technique that has seen an increase of applications in engineering during recent years.

Background: Detailed, comprehensive, and timely reporting on population health by underlying causes of disability and premature death is crucial to understanding and responding to complex patterns of disease and injury burden over time and across age groups, sexes, and locations. The availability of disease burden estimates can promote evidence-based interventions that enable public health researc
