Background/introduction: E-commerce is becoming a natural part of retail business. In order to achieve a competitive edge, companies are shifting to omni channel retailing where channel integration is explored in the search for potential improvements in connection with customer offer and costs. One solution is to integrate inventories and offer improved order fulfilment by using both warehouse and
Purpose: The aim of this paper is to explore how brands’ greening strategies affect consumers’ green brand image. Design/Methodology/Approach: This study is based on a qualitative approach, researching one case, McDonald’s greening strategies compared with the consumers’ brand image. The consumers’ brand image was collected with the help of 12 semi-structured interviews. Findings: The research s
Gathering and analyzing data that is generated in IoT and mobile devices is increasing due to the huge potential value it brings to consumers and car manufacturers. The increase in production of data introduces new problems in terms of bandwidth requirements. Performing computations, filtering, and analyzing data could be introduced to devices to reduce the bandwidth usage, this concept is called
Denna studie har genomförts för att fylla en kunskapslucka i forskningen inom hållbara matpraktiker. Det fanns en avsaknad i att studera hur hållbara matpraktiker och normer har förändrats över tid. Vidare ville vi skapa förståelse för hur hållbara matpraktiker och normer har tagits förgivet eller förändrats under samhällets utveckling. Således är syftet med uppsatsen att undersöka och förstå hur
Föreliggande studie ämnade undersöka begreppsvaliditeten hos en översatt version av the self-compassion scale (SCS) utifrån ett urval av svenska högskole- eller universitetsstudenter (N=359). Tvärsnittsdesign nyttjades. Respondenter fick besvara ett av två olika paket med självskattningsformulär. Paket 1 bestod av SCS kombinerat med mått på ångest och välmående. Paket 2 bestod av SCS kombinerat me
Projektet handlar huvudsakligen om två saker: att utforska en ny metodologi och att applicera metoden på en aktuell samhällssituation. De metoder som vi utforskar är arkitekturteori, generativ design och mötet emellan dem. Vi ville undersöka vad som händer med en process och en design när de båda vävs samman, och genom att låta projektet varvas mellan två metoder hoppas vi kunna hitta ett nytt sva
Learning is something everyone has to do. Different approaches to facilitate the process of learning has been tried throughout history. With technologies such as Internet, and augmented and virtual reality there might be possibilities to devise new ways of learning. In this thesis I aim to explore an idea for such a new way of facilitation of learning, as well as exploring how to design for augmen
Insects and their host plants constitute a considerable proportion of the diversity on earth, and host shifts hence provide excellent study systems to study the process that drive diversification. In this study, I address what the mechanism to achieve assortative mating is in two host races using different host plants to increase our understanding of how reproductive isolation can arise in the fac
Quantitative PCR (qPCR) is a commonly used method today in the fields of molecular diagnostics, forensic and food analysis. The real-time measurements of amplification and quantification of specific DNA molecules is one of many reasons why qPCR is the method of choice. However, presence of inhibitory compounds limit this method for example by interacting with either the DNA polymerase or the DNA t
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and two thirds of all breast cancers are classified as oestrogen receptor positive. ER is a transcription factor that regulates gene expression and promote cell proliferation that is critical in mammary gland development, and its aberrant activity is commonly present in breast cancer. As a nuclear receptor, ER activity could be diverted by eith
Föreliggande studie handlar om scenskräck och prestationsångest, ett problem som blir allt större i dagens samhälle där kraven ökar. Studien syftar till att uppmärksamma hur nervositet inför framträdanden utgör ett problem också i grundskolan, samt ge råd till grundskollärare hur man kan arbeta förebyggande för att undvika att scenskräck och prestationsångest uppstår. Genom en kvalitativ intervjusThe present study is concerned with performance anxiety, a problem that is increasing in today's society. The study aims to draw attention to how stage fright is a problem also in elementary school, and further wishes to collect advise for how elementary school teachers may work preventively to avoid it occurring. Through a qualitative interview study, I wanted to find out what pedagogical too
Downstream processing is an essential part in the production of biomolecules and the optimization of these processes are of great value, since they can be both time consuming and expensive. One common type of enzyme used in different biotechnical approaches is proteases and in this study Protease X was investigated. In order to use the enzyme in a process, a purification procedure needs to be esta
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) market is rapidly growing and expected to further expand in the incoming years. To keep up with such a fast pace, new wireless technologies need to be developed to accommodate the huge number of devices expected to connect to the internet. IIoT devices are designed to be low cost devices which operate in low power mode to provide long battery life time. In orde
This paper is the result of a masters thesis with the ambition to create a 1D reduced flow path turbine expansion code with the programming language Python. The work was done at the Department of Energy Sciences at the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University during Spring and Summer of 2018. The work culminated in a run able code, however highly untested and in need of further work. The code is
Platsen är gränslandet mellan stadskärnan i Norrköping, Motala ström och den tilltänkta expansionen av staden i form av en ny stadsdel vid ”Strömmens” norra kaj, Inre hamnen. En plats med potential att knyta samman stad och stadsdel, men framför allt möjligheten att tillföra en bebyggelse med variationsrika rumsligheter. Syftet med denna rapport, ”Strömstaden”, är att utforska en hypotes i form av
Architectural education is most of the time based on architectural tasks with little connection to real circumstances of a building process. The projects focuses on design and the result of the projects is abstractions of the reality, such as drawings, diagrams and models. Architecture through practice aims to explore parts of the architectural practice which we usually don’t have to think about i
A method is implemented wherein numerical approximations to the ground and first few excited states of a quantum mechanical N -body 1D harmonic oscillator are found through variational methods, representing the states as a linear combination of normalized pseudo-states which are themselves linear combinations of non-orthogonal Slater determinants. These states are then used as a low energy basis f
Motivation: Large-scale phylogenetic analyses rely on orthology inference to curate sets of sequences related by speciation rather than gene duplication. Graph-based ‘orthology’ inference approaches cluster sequences together based on an all-versus-all BLAST, followed by filtering by hit fraction, Markov clustering, or both, but the output of such approaches often contains paralogous sequences. Tr
Internet of Things (IoT) is a network constituted by uniquely identifiable commodity objects or devices equipped with some sensing system. To achieve high data rates required for IoT devices, a modern wireless communication system, known as Advanced Antenna Systems(AAS), leads to significant improvement, by increasing not only the data rate but also spectrum efficiency and the channel capacity. A
Technology utilisation and implementation of new technologies are critical success factors for humanitarian supply chains and the possibility to improve humanitarian operations by the use of technology has been gaining increasing attention, especially since the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Despite this increase, the theory on emerging technologies within the humanitarian supply chain is still very limit
