Reindeer husbandry has long been a central element of the traditional livelihood and culture of indigenous Sami people in northern Sweden. However, it faces several challenges from competing land uses, primarily forestry. Different forest conditions are desired by forestry and reindeer husbandry to accommodate each sectors’ distinct interests, promoting high timber and pulp production or improved

In 2012, Mulberry, a well-established British fashion brand recognised for its leadership in the affordable luxury category appointed a new CEO. This CEO aspired to reposition the brand to a target a more premium segment. The aftermath of this repositioning saw the resignation of Mulberry’s creative director, a downturn in customer patronage and several profit warnings. So what should Mulberry do

Purpose: To define hyperphysical retail, and present theoretical aspects which should be considered when a company wants to create their own hyperphysical installation. Methodology: A qualitative dual case study with secondary data utilizing an abductive method to develop the interpretation of the phenomenon by consistently working between the cases and the selected theories. Findings: This paper

Research Question: Does the success of price-driven e-commerce platforms like Temu indicate a fundamental shift away from traditional branding values such as emotional connections, trust, and long-term engagement, or is it an adaptation to evolving consumer preferences for affordability and convenience? Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to critically investigate whether the success of price-

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to contribute to an expansion of what can be considered as a brand. Specifically, this paper examines how streaming series can be seen as brands through a brand identity lens. Methodology: A qualitative research approach, with a social constructivist perspective, has been done by applying the Brand Identity Prism, with the additional element brand promise, to

Thermal cameras play a crucial role in various applications, such as monitoring industrial location, medical purposes and security surveillance. However, the existing thermometric calibration method for temperature determination requires a complex and time consuming process. In this project, a new thermometric calibration method was looked into that utilized a heated shutter with the goal of deter

On November 17th, 2017, Electronic Arts, an American gaming company, publishes one of the most anticipated games of the year: Star Wars Battlefront 2. It is a first- and third-person shooter video game based on the Star Wars universe, with both single and multiplayer aspects. Upon its release, the game, in its beta stage, was heavily criticized. The criticism was regarding the status of the game’s

Purpose: This paper aims to uncover the complexity of nation branding strategies, specifically in relation to antagonistic nations using a case study of North Korea. Design/methodology/approach: To provide background context and discuss all relevant theories to this analysis, an extensive literature review has been conducted. As such, different conceptions of corporate branding, nation branding a

Leverantörsutvärdering är något som väldigt många företag måste genomföra och som ofta är ett komplext problem med många parametrar och variabler inblandade. Detta arbete har tagit fram ett framework för hur attribut och prestandamått bör vara konstruerade för att ge en så representativ poängsättning som möjligt, samt en modell för övervakning och kontroll av leverantörens produkter baserat på speEvaluating suppliers is something that the majority of companies has to do and is something that often is a complex problem with many parameters and variables involved. This is especially true for a company like Kiviks Musteri that purchases a variety of different products from all over the world from different types of suppliers that come from different cultures and backgrounds. It is also essent

Metan (CH4) är en av de viktigaste växthusgaserna i atmosfären och dess kraftiga ökning har bidragit till den uppvärmning som vi har upplevt fram till idag. Sedan mitten av 1980-talet påvisar mätningar att metantillväxten i atmosfären har börjat fluktuera från år till år. Orsakerna till detta är omstridda och ännu inte klargjorda. Under 2007 uppmättes en kraftig ökning i tillväxt som var särskilt The increasing atmospheric concentration of the greenhouse gas methane (CH4) is highly relevant for current and future global warming. Since the mid-1980s atmospheric measurements have revealed large interannual fluctuations in methane growth rate. However, the causes of this feature are still not well understood. In 2007, a peak in growth rate appears to have been particularly strong at high nort

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Att ha tillgång till höjddata av hög kvalitet är viktigt. Enligt klimat och sårbarhetsutredningen är det bl.a. viktigt att kunna göra bra hydrologiska modeller för att kunna beräkna översvämningsrisker, eller risken för ras och skred p.g.a. framtida klimatförändringar. Flera av dessa analyser anses vara av nationellt intresse. Utredningen slår också fast att denElevation data of high quality is important. In Sweden a governmental climate and vulnerability study (Klimat och sårbarhetsutredningen) states that some analyses of vulnerability due to future climate changes, like hydrological analyses to estimate the risk of flooding, do require elevation models of high quality. The present national elevation model does not reach the accuracy requirements. Sinc

Patients diagnosed with psychogenic pseudosyncope reported significantly higher rates of supine syncope, syncopal episodes and traumatic falls than patients diagnosed with vasovagal syncope in a survey questionnaire completed before head-up tilt test.

Abstract 4-Alkenyl- and 4-acyloxazoles represent important substructures across a diverse array of bioactive molecules. Practical methods to synthesize these motifs are, therefore, of considerable interest. Here, we develop a novel domino process wherein a cycloisomerization is followed by a 1,2-rearrangement via an oxazolonium ion to yield 4-alkenyloxazoles from an abundant β-chloro-N-benzyl prop4-Alkenyl- and 4-acyloxazoles represent important substructures across a diverse array of bioactive molecules. Practical methods to synthesize these motifs are, therefore, of considerable interest. Here, we develop a novel domino process wherein a cycloisomerization is followed by a 1,2-rearrangement via an oxazolonium ion to yield 4-alkenyloxazoles from an abundant β-chloro-N-benzyl propargylamin

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) concentrations in many northern European freshwater systems have been increasing during the past decades. DOM affects the marine plankton community where rivers discharge into the sea. Large DOM molecules have been suggested to be more available to aquatic plankton than smaller ones due to their more recent origin in the degradation process. In this study, we investi

Endovascular treatment had developed rapidly and the procedures have increased in complexity. The demand of imaging excellence is imperative to perform these interventions. However both pre and postoperative investigations are performed by the use of advanced three-dimensional imaging, while the treatment itself relies on two-dimensional imaging. With the use of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT

This paper describes the philosophy behind our lighting of the RoboCup«99 games in Stockholm 1999. It also gives relevant background in the theory of light, lighting and colour in order to motivate our design. It is our hope that it will be a valuable source of information for future RoboCup game organisers.
