Purpose: This thesis investigates the influence of FGUC in comparison to UGC on Purchasing Intention through a direct pathway and an indirect pathway, with the mediating role of UGC Perception and Perceived Authenticity. Additionally, Social Media Usage Levels are studied as a moderating variable on both pathways. Research Question: To what extent does Firm-Generated User Content (FGUC) influence

Distillation is the primary separation technique in the petrochemical industries, but it operates with extremely low thermodynamic efficiency. It represents the largest share of industrial energy consumption, making its decarbonization a global priority. While advanced process technologies, such as Mechanical Vapor Recompression (MVR) and the Heat-Integrated Distillation Column (HIDiC), offer a pa

Technological catch-up has long been regarded as one of the central challenges of economic development, yet sustained catch-up has historically been limited to only a small number of cases. This study examines how contrasting development patterns in two resource-rich economies, Indonesia and Nigeria, shaped their structural and social conditions for technological catch-up between 1970 and 2020. Dr

At Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), where the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) GP-SANS beamline is located, an experiment searching for the neutron Transition Magnetic Moment (nTMM) was conducted. This experiment is dependent on the magnetic field homogeneity and requires a magnetic field scanning precision of at least 4 μT. A previous experiment performed at the same facility used powerful m

Promising advances in the field of ultra low power computing are based on the design of high-density ferroelectric memories with non-destructive readout. In this bachelor thesis, the objective is to study HfxZr1−xO2 thin films as one of the most popular candidates to replace traditional dielectrics. A thermal annealing procedure is required for the fabrication of these devices, since the ferroelec

This thesis investigated whether including binding financial commitments in an integrated blue economy policy programme yields measurably different outcomes compared to an otherwise similar unfinanced framework. The Seychelles and the Bahamas adopted comparable whole-of-government frameworks within three years of each other, differing most clearly in financing architecture: Seychelles embedded bin

Ultrasound optical tomography (UOT) combines the high contrast of optical imaging with the spatial resolution of ultrasound, making it a promising modality for imaging in scattering media. Conventionally, UOT relies on focused ultrasound to localize the acousto-optic interaction. An alternative approach, Fourier-transform UOT (FT-UOT), has been proposed to encode spatial information using spatiall

Green spaces are important parts of our cities supporting both public health and providing ecosystem services such as lowering air temperature and providing stress relief. The study area, Malmö is a city in southern Sweden with a high population density. The city is largely built on and surrounded by agricultural land resulting in few naturally occurring green spaces and only planted trees. Despit

The purpose of this essay is to assist teachers of Swedish who are considering using the exemption clause while grading. It does this by describing and charting teachers' perceptions of the exemption clause and its purpose in relation to dyslexia. In-service teachers, who feel uncertain about using the exemption clause, may read how other teachers perceive it, and tailor their own usage accord

Background & Gap Innovation-oriented startups drive economic renewal by exploiting opportunities in uncertain, resource-constrained environments. However, while previous research focuses on objective performance metrics in established firms, little is known about how Swedish startups construct and negotiate marketing success in practice. Aim of the Study This study explores how Swedish-based

Thesis Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to identify whether the success factors for NP launches in the FMCG industry remain the same as those identified by previous literature, or whether these factors have changed due to the developments of constantly changing market conditions. Methodology: This study is based on a qualitative methodology with an exploratory approach. By exploring the nua

Energy poverty is the inability of a household to access or afford the essential energy services, such as adequate heating, cooling and ventilation to maintain a decent standard of living. In Sweden the concept is rarely used, at least not when it comes to municipal housing inspection and enforcement. The objective of this study was to analyse how municipal housing inspection and enforcement engag

As organizations increasingly depend on electronic performance monitoring, data collection of perceived Electronic Performance Monitoring (EPM) threatens the psychological conditions required for employee creativity. This quantitative study examines how leaders can buffer against electronic performance monitoring through Creativity-Enabling Leadership (CEL); conceptualized in this study as a secon

The aim of this work is to investigate how a quantised photon cavity modifies the spin dynamics of a two-site spin-electron dimer with Rashba spin-orbit coupling. The cavity couples to inter-site hopping through the Peierls substitution. Dissipation is included via the Lindblad master equation. Three numerical methods were tested to see which would be best suited for the time evolution of the syst

This study employs a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods to answer the question of how the 1979 revolution changed the mechanism by which oil revenues translate to GDP growth. This study takes a historical approach to discuss the major impacts of institutional change and how these changes aggregate over the pre-and or post-revolution period may have led to results seen in the data.

Air emissions are becoming a larger problem in today’s society and therefore the limits are getting stricter. This means that chemical-producing industries which create multiple byproducts, acting like air pollutants, requires to improve their emission limiting systems. Johnson Matthey Formox AB is a company who sells licenses and catalysts for formaldehyde production by the FORMOXTM process. Prod

This thesis aim is to highlight the ability and power that sound has to act as a social driver, generating movement, coordinating bodies and allowing for the conceptualization of sound as a soft mechanism of governance. Using a theoretical framework built on the works of Michel Foucault (1977, 2007) and Pierre Bourdieu (1977), as well as previous studies concerned with sound and its social and cul

Detta projekt undersöker hur bagage kan omdesignas för att bättre stödja resor i urbana miljöer. Fokus ligger på en definierad målgrupp som behöver transportera tungt bagage genom både inomhus- och utomhusmiljöer.Konceptet utforskar även hur olika delar av bagaget kan omformas och omorganiseras för att bättre möta målgruppens ergonomiska behov. Målgruppen spelar också en central roll i valet av pr
