This study aims to examine customer acquisition strategies of multisided platforms and consumer perception towards them. It further aims to contribute to current literature by addressing present uncertainty regarding the relationship of customer acquisition and consumer perception. From a practical perspective it should help other multisided platforms to identify customer acquisition methods that
We report the discovery of WTS-2 b, an unusually close-in 1.02-d hot Jupiter (M-P = 1.12M(J), R-P = 1.30R(J)) orbiting a K2V star, which has a possible gravitationally bound M-dwarf companion at 0.6 arcsec separation contributing similar to 20 per cent of the total flux in the observed J-band light curve. The planet is only 1.5 times the separation from its host star at which it would be destroyed
Purpose The purpose of the study is to investigate what Procordia needs to do to increase the number of packaging ideas which leads to product launches, where the packaging is the unique selling point. Method The study has been conducted through a system approach because of the importance of a holistic view while making the study. The research method has been an abductive method due to the alterna
There are many different methods for pricing discretely monitored barrier options. There is a trade-off, however, between speed and accuracy. The players on the financial markets would of course ideally want a method which is both exact and returns a price instantaneously. In this thesis we start from a fast, but on the other hand somewhat less accurate, approximation formula. It will be referred
Under senare år har uppmärksammats ett ökande intresse för regleringen gällande mervärdesskattegrupper i artikel 11 rådets direktiv 2006/112/EG. Möjligheten att ingå i en mervärdesskattegrupp är särskilt betydelsefull inom viss finansiell sektor, undantagen från skatteplikt. Samtidigt kan emellertid konstateras en betydande diskrepans vad gäller implementering och tolkning av artikelbestämmelsen, In recent years, Member States have shown an increasing interest in using the option of VAT grouping provided in Article 11 of Council Directive 2006/112/EC. The possibility of joining a VAT group is particularly useful for entities performing VAT exempt activities, such as companies in the financial sector. At the same time, there is a wide discrepancy in terms of implementation and interpretatio
Under de senaste 30 åren har en ny metod för att få information om tidigare ekosystem utveck- lats, nämligen att analysera gammalt (“ancient”) DNA (aDNA). Denna forskningsgren är fortfarande ung men har redan hittat många områden inom vilka den kan tillämpas. Inom paleoekologin finns det två huvudsakliga ändamål med aDNA-analyser; att kartlägga en arts hela genom, samt att bestämma antal taxa och
Denna uppsats undersöker Europeiska domstolen för de mänskliga rättigheternas (Europadomstolen) praxis gällande rättigheter för trans- och intersexpersoner, inkluderat rätten till icke-diskriminering, mot bakgrund av Sandra Fredmans fyrdimensionella teori om reell jämlikhet (substantive equality). Även om domstolen historiskt sett har strävat efter att främja och skydda transpersoners rättigheter,This thesis examines the European Court of Human Rights’ jurisprudence on trans and intersex rights, including the right to non-discrimination, in the light of Sandra Fredman’s four-dimensional theoretical framework on substantive equality. While the Court historically has made some strives in promoting and protecting the rights of trans people, considerations of non-discrimination and equality ha
This thesis investigates the news media’s portrayal of the amendment to the Swedish Criminal Code, also known as Brottsbalken in Swedish (BrB, 1962:700), in which the sentencing rules in regard to young offenders were changed. Prior to the new amendment, individuals younger than 21-years-old were entitled to an ‘ungdomsrabatt’ or ‘straffrabatt’ that applied during sentencing for all crimes. Under
Abstract Title: To Cross the Line. An Examination of Cross-Boarder Cooperations Authors: Madeleine Albrektson, Karin Henriksson and Malin Sylvén Tutors: Lena Eskilsson and Ola Thufvesson Keywords: Place marketing, destination cooperation, cross-boarder cooperation, driving forces, advantages, culture, coordination Statement of purpose: Our aim is to gain a deeper understanding of how a cross-board
Introduction: The main route of excretion of activity for most administered radiopharmaceuticals is via the urinary bladder and it is important to estimate the absorbed dose to the mucosal surface of the bladder wall, especially when radiopharmaceuticals are given for therapeutic purposes. The purpose of this thesis was to investigate how the absorbed dose varies with changes in the parameters, wh
Context. The solar mid-infrared metallic emission lines have already been observed and analyzed well, and the formation scenario of the Mg I 12 mu m lines has been known for more than a decade. Detections of stellar emission at 12 mu m have, however, been limited to Mg I in very few objects. Previous modeling attempts have been made only for Procyon and two cool evolved stars, with unsatisfactory
Optical and micro-physical features of aerosol are reported using Skyradiometer (POM-01L, Prede, Japan) observations taken from a high-altitude station Merak, located in north-eastern Ladakh of the western trans-Himalayas region during January 2011 to December 2013. The observed daily mean aerosol optical depth (AOD, at 500 nm) at the site varied from 0.01 to 0.14. However, 75 % of the observed AO
Popular Abstract in Swedish Utveckling av en flerdimensionell residual-distributions lösare för Large Eddy Simulation av industriell turbulenta strömningar.This thesis presents the results of the author's research activity to develop a time-space accurate flow-solver for Large Eddy Simulations (LES), based on the Multidimensional Residual Distribution approach. The aim of this work is the attempt to develop a compact high-order algorithm which includes multidimensional flow physics, in hope of creating a better algorithm for LES of turbulent compress
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen beskriver och analyserar hur människor som arbetar i ett företag som blir uppköpt upplever uppköpsprocessen. Författaren lyfter fram de många olika tolkningar och upplevelser som finns av uppköpet istället för att ge en homogen återgivning. Författaren hävdar att för att kunna förstå vad som händer i ett företag under en uppköpsprocess så måste man beakta dWhile the human side of mergers and acquisitions is increasingly focused in both research and practice, it still suffers from several forms of oversimplifications. This study addresses the problem of how various employees interpret objectives, corporate identity and other meanings associated with the post-acquisition process, and what roles these multiple interpretations play during this critical
The noninvasive study of tissue blood volume and oxygenation using near-infrared light is a new and actively developing technology. We have used near-infrared spectroscopic imaging (NIRSI) to study hemodynamic responses on the auditory cortices evoked by auditory stimulation. Ten healthy newborn infants were studied. The otoacoustic emission hearing test was performed for each infant. Pulse oximet
The effect of ultraviolet radiation (UV) (255-325 nm) on stomatal closure was investigated on tef (Eragrostis tef (Zucc) Trotter) in the presence of white light (ca 50 .mu.mol m-2 s-1). The action spectrum showed that UV (ca 2 .mu.mol m-2 s-1, half band width about 10 nm) of 285 nm or shorter wavelengths was very efficient in causing stomatal closure. The effectiveness decreased sharply towards lo
Popular Abstract in Swedish De två vanligaste typerna av neurodegenerativ demenssjukdom är Alzheimer’s sjukdom och Lewy body demens. Båda sjukdomarna drabbar framförallt äldre människor och risken att insjukna ökar med stigande ålder. Detta innebär att demenssjukdom kommer att bli vanligare i samhället, eftersom vi blir allt äldre och andelen invånare >65 år blir allt större. Att drabbas av demensBackground: A prognostic marker should provide information about course and outcome of disease, e.g. predict time to a given endpoint or rate of progression due to disease in patients or subgroups of patients. Prognostic markers could be targeted to apply during the entire clinical course or just during distinct stages of the disease. Aim: The aim of this thesis is to identify, review and qualif
Medium-induced gluon radiation gives rise to the strong energy loss observed in single hadron spectra in heavy ion collisions. Its angular structure, leading e.g. to intra-jet correlations, is only known for the one-gluon inclusive case. In the vacuum, properties such as angular ordering appear when considering less inclusive distributions due to destructive interference effects. We present a calc
