The objective of this research thesis was to enrich customer value theories with a place-related concept, using a case study of the Singapore Botanic Gardens. In conjunction with this, 2 research questions were created, namely, (i) In what ways do park visitors ascribe meaning of place?, and (ii) how can meaning of place contribute to the customer value conceptualization? Theories for review were
The company, qpunkt GmbH, recently developed a concept for an “innovative” thermal manikin – the Klimadummy. Before a decision can be made whether to realize the production of their manikin, there is a need for a market research, describing the current situation of the thermal manikin market, including the competitors and customers. Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to describe and analyze the
Adela Innovation is a company in a situation similar to many other small and medium sized enterprises in Sweden today.

This report covers a study that documents the status of BIM uses of two leading companies in the construction industry. What makes this study interesting is that, to date, there has previously not been an objective status report recording of BIM usage in Sweden. It would be of great value to test a method of assessment in Sweden to enable comparisons to be made and inform the nation of how far the

In this study the transitional justice strategies implemented in Kenya are analysed from the perspective of transitional justice. Kenya is currently undergoing a transition process in which measures have been implemented in order to address past human rights violations. This includes an official inquiry, a truth commission, and criminal investigations. According to the theory of ”hijacked justice”
In this thesis the background characteristics as well as the mobility and productivity of Swedish inventors is investigated. Swedish inventors tend to be highly educated, with an education in engineering or natural sciences. They are to a large extent male and in their mid-forties. Since there is possible an endogenous relationship between mobility and productivity, instrumental variables applied
Cottrell och Neuberg utförde en studie 2005, Different Emotional Reactions to Different Groups: A Sociofunctional Threat-Based Approach to “Prejudice”, i USA med syfte att undersöka om det fanns kopplingar mellan känslor och upplevda hot. De undersökte detta ur ett sociofunktionellt perspektiv och förutspådde att olika hotfulla grupper skulle framkalla diverse emotionella reaktioner hos ingruppen.

Popular summary: In my work I have studied the manganese ores at Bölet in Västergötland, southern Sweden. The ores at Bölet are of hydrothermal origin, which means that a hot fluid flushed through the bedrock and precipitated different salts and minerals. The purpose of the study was to determine the temperature of the precipitating fluids and to estimate their composition. To do so I examined mic
Förlikningsavtal i patenttvister ligger i brytpunkten mellan patenträtten och konkurrensrätten. Patent är ett lagligt monopol som ges som belöning till innovativa företag för väl utfört värv, medan konkurrensrätten strävar efter att begränsa eller förhindra den skada ett monopol utgör för marknaden. Förlikningsavtal med omvänd betalning kan antingen ses som ett legitimt sätt för en patentinnehavarPatent settlement agreements lie in the intersection of patent rights and competition law. Patents are legal monopolies that are given to innovators as a reward for their findings, and competition law strives to limit the harm monopolies do to the market. Patent settlements in which the patent holder pays the generic manufacturer a not to market a competitive and possible infringing product, can e
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Kortfattat kan en dator beskrivas som en räknemaskin; i en dator är enheten som utför beräkningarna processorn. I en kvantdator är det enskilda atomer som är ansvariga för beräkningarna. På atomnivå, mikrokosmos, råder andra lagar än i makrokosmos. Dessa lagar sammanfattas i vad som kallas för kvantmekanik. Ett kvantmekaniskt fenomen som utnyttjas i en kvantdatorAn approach to the construction of high-frequency radiocircuits for ex- tending coherence-times in the Rare-Earth quantum computation scheme is presented, along with results from computer simulation of the radiofre- quency circuit using a program called QUCS. The results were experi- mentally verified and showed good correspondence with theory and sim- ulations. Problems to take into consideration
22 kap. 25 § miljöbalken (MB) anger att en dom om tillstånd i förekommande fall skall innehålla villkor om utsläpp, begränsningsvärden och bästa möjliga teknik. Villkor som anger en av tillståndsmyndigheten accepterad utsläppsnivå eller bullernivå kan föreskrivas som begränsningsvärde.

Digital watermarking is done by adding a piece of data to a signal, which depending on the target media type, may be a picture, audio or video signal. The purpose of this additional signal is to provide a consistent signature linked to the original source which then remains through the act of copying. This allows the author to obstruct the act of theft by adding this signal to his or her creation.
