The personal is still political as heterosexual romantic relationships are permeated by gender power dynamics. Previous research has shown that men tend to exploit women’s love, appropriate their care, and not reciprocate. This study looks at the impact of feminist values on these established patterns in Switzerland, a country known for being one of the last in western Europe to give women the rig
The current global scenario is such where impact on the environment is becoming a rising concern. Global automotive manufacturers have focused more towards hybrid and electric vehicles as both more aware customers and governmental legislation have begun demanding higher emission standards. One of the many ways that Volvo Car Group approaches this trend is by mild hybridization which is by assistin
Research question: How can the participation in the COII support companies to open up? Methodology: The thesis applies a single case study design to examine an opening up process in relation to open innovation. The thesis used a qualitative research strategy with inductive design with influences of deduction. The primary data emerged from semi-structured interviews to grasp an in-depth understand
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning av examensarbetet Utveckling av karaktäriserings-metoder för lignocellulosarika biogassubstrat. Smältande isar, extrema naturkatastrofer och rekordhöga temperaturer; det rapporteras daglig-en om nya händelser som påstås ha orsakats av den globala uppvärmningen. De flesta svenskar är numer familjära med uttrycket och miljömedvetenhet är något som blir mer och mer As the need of environmentally friendly alternatives to fossil fuels is growing bigger, so is the need for knowledge and research around possible new raw materials that could serve that pur-pose. One discussed product is biogas. Since biogas can be produced from not only food waste and wastewater residue, but from any substrate that contains fats, proteins and/or car-bohydrates, with the help of d
Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka unga konsumenters uppfattning om lojalitet inom klädbranschen samt deras upplevelse av företags lojalitetsprogram i relation till kundlojalitet. Metod: Denna kvalitativa studie har en abduktiv ansats där en kontinuerlig reflektion av teori och empiri har genomförts under hela skapandeprocessen. Den kvalitativa datainsamlingen har realiserats genom 14 stycken semistrPurpose: The purpose is to examine young consumers' perception of loyalty in the clothing industry as well as their experiences of how loyalty programs generate customer loyalty. Methodology: This qualitative study has an abductive approach where a dynamic and continuous reflection of theory and empiricism has been carried out throughout the creation process. The qualitative data collection h
The purpose of this study was to explain Greece’s decision to block EU’s statement on China’s human rights record at the United Nations Human Rights Council in 2017. By formulating a hypothesis that Greece’s decision was a result of Chinese investment in the country through the global infrastructure project “Belt and Road Initiative”, the study then engaged in a process tracing, combining both ind
Green technologies are essential to the development of sustainable economy and environmental protection. Stimulating innovation in green technologies requires environmental policies, regulations, public awareness, and more importantly intellectual property protection such as patents. This thesis explores the significance of patents in the green innovation process, and how patents affect the firms’
Varumärkesrätten är territoriell, till skillnad från Internet, en av våra idag viktigaste marknadsplatser, som är globalt. Ett resultat av varumärkesrättens territorialitet och det faktum att rättigheterna till ett varumärke följer registrerings- eller inarbetningslandets gränser är att det är möjligt för ett varumärke att ägas av olika innehavare i olika länder. Vilket kan leda till problem när sTrademark law is territorial, contrary to one of today’s most important market places - the Internet, which is a global medium. Since the exclusive right to a trademark follows the boundaries of its country of registration or incorporation, it is possible for the same trademarks to be registered by different owners in different countries, something that can lead to problems on the Internet. The bo
In recent years, several men in Sweden have been acquitted of different sexual offences because the courts deemed that it could have occurred in their sleep. According to a leading expert, several of the Swedish acquitting cases are based on incorrect or irrelevant arguments and reasoning regarding sexsomnia. Therefore, it is important to gain a deeper understanding of how sexsomnia manifests with
Proteins and peptides are widely used for the prevention, management, and cure of various illnesses. This vast therapeutic potential represents a significant portion of the pharmaceutical industry in the form of vaccines, antibodies, enzymes, and other protein-based therapeutics. During the drug development process, these proteins/peptides are affected by various environmental factors such as temp
This thesis is an argumentative analysis which utilizes the Toulmin model. The analysis is initially of a descriptive nature but progresses and transforms its intentions into a prescriptive and evidential form in a continuum. The materials which are processed are three opinion-forming articles published in august in English language newspapers. The analysis is performed by categorizing the element
Dopamine D2 receptors (D2-R) in extrastriatal brain regions are of high interest for research in a wide range of psychiatric and neurologic disorders. Pharmacological competition studies and test-retest experiments have shown high validity and reliability of the positron emission tomography (PET) radioligand [11C]FLB 457 for D2-R quantification in extrastriatal brain regions. However, this radioli
Background: Eating disorders (ED) are severe psychiatric conditions, characterized by decreased quality of life and high mortality. However, only a minority of patients with ED seek care and very few receive treatment. Internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) has the potential to increase access to evidence-based treatments. Aims: The aims of the present study were to (1) develop and
Context Background Globalisation, increasing product complexity, volatile demand, and financial crisis all put strains on the supply, processing, and distribution of goods. That’s why supply chain management has become the area to focus on to gain competitive advantages and reduce costs. Saint-Gobain Sekurit Scandinavia (SGSS) is part of a large global French enterprise, Saint-Gobain that’s a worl
The ESS elliptical superconducting Linac consists of two types of 704.42 MHz cavities, medium and high beta, to accelerate the beam from 216 MeV (spoke cavity Linac) up to the final energy at 2 GeV. The last Linac optimization, called Optimus+, has been carried out taking into account the limitations of SRF cavity performance (field emission). The medium and high-beta parts of the Linac are compos
In light of the recent austerity measures affecting cultural policy in several Western countries, this thesis aims to investigate the values mobilised by a cultural festival in Cologne, Germany, to justify its activities to financiers. A qualitative case study approach was adopted, involving interviews with festival representatives and document analysis of funding applications. Drawing on Boltansk
Växthusgasutsläpp från mänsklig aktivitet påskyndar den globala uppvärmningen och måste åtgärdas. Informations- och kommunikationstekniksektorn (IKT-sektorn), som tillhandahåller det digitala samhällets tekniker såsom datorer, smarttelefoner och internet, står för en mängd växthusgasutsläpp som kan jämföras med flygindustrins. Aktörerna inom sektorn har ett ansvar att minska dessa och ett relativtThe ICT sector’s greenhouse gas emissions are comparable to those of the aviation industry, and the actors within the sector have a responsibility to reduce these in order to help combat global warming. A relatively new area of concern is the climate impact of software due to energy consumption. For example, AI has been acknowledged as an emissions-hungry technology because of the large computatio
