As such, different conceptions of corporate branding, nation branding a

Hur olika ekonomiska indikatorer och faktorer förutsäger och påverkar dödligheten i prostatacancer har i detta arbete undersökts. Tidigare forskning tyder på att där är fler faktorer som påverkar dödligheten i prostatacancer utöver sjukvårdsfinansiering och produktionsfaktorer inom sjukvården. En linjär regressionsmodellen har satts upp för sambandet mellan dödligheten i prostatacancer och total s

Purpose – The term signature story was explored by David Aaker in his book published in 2018. The purpose of this paper is to further investigate, examine and build upon his concept. This will be done by examining and defining Aaker’s four criteria of signature stories for non-American brands to improve the criteria’s definition, explanation and usage. Design/methodology/approach – The research is

Bakgrund: Forskningen inom omvårdnad ökar och det är av största vikt att distriktssköterskor håller sig uppdaterade om den senaste kunskapen för att öka patientsäkerheten och för att upprätthålla god kvalitét på omvårdnaden. För distriktssköterskan åligger det att ta reda på nya metoder och kunna ta del av ny forskning. Möjligheten till kompetensutveckling påverkas av tidsbrist och att arbetsmiljö

This study examines the impact of IoT on the supply chain management and digital marketing in the fast fashion industry with a focus on Zara. The theoretical framework is based on Porter’s Five Forces Framework and dynamic capabilities. The theory assists in understanding the competitive forces in the fast fashion industry and the capabilities necessary for firms to utilize IoT to develop new comp

Water use in greenhouse can be optimized by switching to alternative sources of irrigation water and building zero-liquid discharge systems that recirculate greenhouse effluent. The use of brackish groundwater (BGW) has become a popular option for greenhouses that have adopted reverse osmosis (RO) to reduce the salinity of their source water. Similarly, RO has emerged as the most commonly used des

This thesis examines the narrative of estrangement in Theodor Kallifatides autobiography Ett nytt land utanför mitt fönster. He presents his thoughts on an estrangement that comes with having to move to a new country and learn a new language. The autobiographical text, which constitutes the primary research material, is analytically scrutinized via a thematic narrative analysis. In other words, th

Pålning är en typ av grundläggning lämplig för att grundlägga broar vid svaga markförhållanden. Att manuellt utforma en pålgrupp är en iterativ, tidskrävande process där snittkrafterna i pålarna måste verifieras för ett stort antal lastfall. Efter installationen kan pålarna dessutom ha nya positioner och kapaciteten måste verifieras igen. I detta projekt utvecklades en mjukvara för att automatiserFor bridges in weak ground conditions, piling is an appropriate type of foundation. To manually arrange the piles in a pile group is an iterative, time consuming process where the section forces in the piles must be verified for a large number of load cases. In addition, after installation, piles may have new positions and the capacity must be re-verified. In this thesis, a software was developed

Grain boundary diffusion in polycrystals is of importance in industrial applications as it often, to a large degree, dictates the effective rate of diffusion in polycrystals. For impurity diffusion the enrichment of impurities within the material will in turn change the material properties, such as ductility and fatigue rates. It is therefor beneficial to be able to quantify the effect of the grai

Based on a critique of mega-projects, economic growth and development, as well as a theoretical explanation of resistance in the Global South and its links to Buen Vivir and Degrowth, this research explores how mega-projects in Yucatán have existed since the age of henequen, during

What If is a conceptual and speculative design project aimed to fuel discussions and physicalise debates regarding our relationship to the world around us. The environment we have created is characterised by constant growth and an endless stream of information. Our human senses are made for a completely different kind of life and the natural evolution has no chance against the technological. It’s

This qualitative study is examining the reasons behind the mass migration of Bulgarian citizens from Stolipinovo to Germany and the city of Duisburg in particular. The research is conducted using ethnographic approach together with carrying out interviews with the focus group – EU migrants from that area. It further examines how this process is facilitated and what kind of organisations stay behin

The world population is continuously growing and will have to be fed. To keep pace with the increasing demand, multiple innovations have been implemented in agriculture during the last decades. The main bottleneck remains the global photosynthetic productivity. The efficiency of photosynthesis is limited, inter alia, by the fixation of CO2 via Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBis

The EU is accused of having a democratic deficit and one of the reasons for that is the low number of turnouts in democratic elections and referendums. Voter turnout is oneof democracy’s most important indicators of health as it shows to whatextent voters practice their democratic right in a representative democracy. Voter participation is thus an accept of the rules of the representative democrac
