Purpose: The study examines how CEOs' and founders' social and political declarations influence Generation Z's conditional brand loyalty in an era in which personal and corporate identity are more intertwined than ever.

Samhället idag skakas av en våldsvåg vilket saknar motstycke i svensk historia. Skjutningar, sprängningar och dödligt våld inom den kriminella miljön har ökat kraftigt de senaste åren. Straffrättsliga åtgärder för att få bukt med gängbrottsligheten har följaktligen hamnat högt upp på den politiska agendan. Flera förslag som läggs fram i den offentliga debatten präglas av en mer offensiv brottsbekä
Some numerical methods approximate the Jacobian using finite differences as part of their process. The finite difference method of approximation resembles the limit definition of the derivative. Since a computer cannot handle the mathematical concept of limits, a sufficiently small number has to be chosen as an increment. However, when the increments are chosen outside of certain acceptable ranges
The Aim of this thesis was to answer the research question “what are the actors that create an social atmosphere and how do these actors collectively form and maintain the affective atmosphere at maid cafes”. This was done by explaining the modern life in japan with muen shakai, and the collapse of the traditional family structure. This was then put in connection to an explanation of previous rese
Varje år avlider i genomsnitt 100 personer i Sverige till följd av dödligt våld, däribland mord. På senare år har det höjts röster om att de som döms för mord många gånger döms till alltför lindriga straff, med hänsyn till att mord anses vara den mest klandervärda handling en människa kan begå. Följaktligen har lagstiftaren lagt fram ett förslag om att skärpa straffet för mord. I förarbetena framhAbout 100 people die each year in Sweden due to deadly violence such as murder. During recent years some people have claimed that the punishment for murder is not strict enough, considering the fact that taking a life is the most heinous crime that one can commit. Consequently, the Swedish legislator has suggested that the penalty for murder shall become stricter by making life imprisonment the st
This study explores author texts on public libraries in the United Kingdom between the years 2010 and 2018. The texts appear in a national public debate about the value, purpose and direction of the library service following a significant number of library closures and funding cuts. These were the result of the global financial crisis of 2007 and 2008 and the subsequent implementation of the auste
Introduction: TH2-upstream cytokines (IL-33, IL-25 and TSLP) have emerged as key cytokines in the promotion of allergic asthma. Macrophages (Mϕs) play an important role in the pathogenesis of asthma both in the inflammatory and resolution phases of the disease. Mϕs can acquire different phenotypes depending on their microenvironment. Our aim was to investigate the difference in expression of TH2-u
Skyldigheten att skydda, eller “R2P”, är en princip som har skapat vild debatt sedan den först introducerades av the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty (ICISS) år 2001. Efter den positiva respons begreppet fick av FN:s medlemsstater under the World Summit Outcome 2005 verkade det som att FN rörde sig mot en ny tidsperiod, där arbetet för mänskliga rättigheter även skull
Digitalisation has had a profound effect on our society. Much of our daily lives revolve around digital errands that, providing we have the appropriate skills, provide us with innumerous conveniences. Unfortunately for those who do not have such competencies, these normal everyday tasks have become unmanageable and as a result of the McDonaldization of society there are very few places to which th
This thesis studies how Sweden’s state identity is constructed within the discourse on Swedish Migration Policy following the European refugee crisis in 2015. Identity is studied by seeing the constructions of identity and policy as discursively interlinked and by using the notion of processes of linking and differentiation. The material analyzed are statements made by the Swedish government in or

The interdisciplinary field of Comics Studies has developed since the late 20th Century, in response to the increasing, popular reach of comics as a mass phenomenon capable of addressing a wide range of subject matter and approaches, including journalism, (auto)biography, and academical papers. Still, these apparent innovations and, in turn, their scholarly dissemination are predicated upon genre
This paper studies the relationship between contraceptive adoption by women and three relevant predictors: women’s education, empowerment and religious affiliation. I employ recent information on women’s characteristics and the institutional environment for six Latin American countries, in the years 2013-2015, to perform a cross-section analysis with binary and multinomial logistic regressions, ha

Although the topic of sustainability communication has been extensively studied since the 1970s, there remain gaps and contradictions, e.g. the effectiveness of communication strategies for influencing individual pro-environmental behaviour change. This study continues this discussion: the purpose was to identify what communication interventions are most effective for changing individual intention

In January 2018 the British government made a commitment to tackle the growing issue of loneliness. This thesis investigates how the problem of loneliness is represented within the British strategy to counteract this issue. This is done with help from Carol Bacchis’ theoretical and methodological WPR or “What’s the problem represented to be?” approach. The approach proposes analysing policy as an
It is well established that bumblebees play a vital role in the ecosystem, not only as pollinators but as providers of other ecosystem services. Thus, it is important to have a good understanding of their habitat requirements and ecology. Bumblebees can learn to associate floral cues with rewarding and unrewarding flowers. The availability of resources in flowers is very dynamic as it varies durin
