Thesis purpose: To investigate the role of algorithmic literacy in the case of TikTok, and how its strategic performance, including the challenges and associated ethical issues, affects global marketers. Methodology: Adapting a social constructivist approach, twelve qualitative semi-structured interviews with global marketers allowed us to gather deeper insights Theoretical perspective: In order

This study investigates the factors influencing the adoption and acceptance of cloud-based solutions within organizational contexts, emphasizing the strategic insights necessary for effective cloud migration. Cloud computing, marked by its scalability, has significantly transformed information technology landscapes. However, the adoption rates vary widely across industries, driven by diverse organ

Sustainability reporting has become the primary measure of corporate sustainability in the EU, with increasing awareness among companies about the importance of disclosing sustainability matters. Concurrently, the European Union has enacted several pieces of legislation regarding sustainability reporting, notably the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. While blockchain technology initial

Early diagnosis of hearing impairment in children is crucial to enable successful treatment, prevent further deterioration, and ensure proper development of speech and other cognitive abilities. One of the most commonly used methods for hearing assessment in young children is Visual Reinforcement Audiometry (VRA). The primary challenge with VRA is maintaining the child's attention throughout t

Today’s markets are heavily concentrated on Cloud Computing, where trends project an increasing amount of services living therein. Because these data centers, named Clouds, provide ability to dynamically scale the resources assigned to a service. It is a technology which allows products to remain competitive in a constantly changing market. Consumers profit from this solution, as it is much easier

Aim: To compare long-term effects of a systemic school-based intervention, Marte Meo and Coordination Meetings (MAC), targeting 3- to 12-year-old children display- ing disruptive behaviour problems (DBP) in preschool or school, and service as usual (SAU). In addition, to examine whether social status (SS) affected the outcomes.

A male common swift Apus apus was equipped with a light logger on August 5, 2010, and again captured in his nest 298 days later. The data stored in the light logger enables analysis of the fascinating travel it made in this time period. The state of the art algorithm for geolocation based on light loggers consists in computing first sunrise and sunset from the logged data, which are then converted

This study treats the municipal home care and customer choice. The customer choice model means that elderly people with home help services may be granted the opportunity to choose provider and therefore can choose between private and municipal providers. The purpose of this study is to investigate managers’ perceptions of how competition has affected the municipal home care activities, staff and u

We evaluate pseudo-real-time out-of-sample nowcasts for Swedish GDP employing factor models and mixed-data sampling regressions with single predictor variables. These two model classes can handle the data irregularities of a ragged-edge sample and differing sampling frequencies. The results show that pooling of the nowcasts outperforms a simple benchmark, even though only very few of the underlyinWe evaluate pseudo-real-time out-of-sample nowcasts for Swedish GDP employing factor models and mixed-data sampling regressions with single predictor variables.

Graphene presents unique optoelectronic properties, making it attractive for the development of a wide range of new and advanced technological applications such as high-speed photodetectors and all-optical modulators. The study and control of the generated carriers in graphene, namely their ultrafast relaxation dynamics, are of great importance for these applications. Here, we report the ultrafast

This article uses a new database of 1,891 probate inventories from rural southern Sweden to investigate the development of rural households’ productive capacity from the late 1600s to the 1860s. Both labourers and farmers improved their material living standards – as measured by the contents of probate inventories – but the labouring households’ ownership of means of production decreased over timeThis article uses a new database of 1,891 probate inventories from rural southern Sweden to investigate the development of rural households’ productive capacity from the late 1600s to the 1860s.

Free energy calculations play a crucial role in simulating chemical processes, enzymatic reactions, and drug design. However, assessing the reliability and convergence of these calculations remains a challenge. This study focuses on single-step free-energy calculations using thermodynamic perturbation. It explores how the sample distributions influence the estimated results and evaluates the relia

Like other Western legal systems, the Swedish legal system constructs objectivity as an unemotional state of being. We argue that the enactment of objectivity in situ relies on objectivity work including emotion management and empathy. Building on qualitative interviews and observations in Swedish district courts, we analyse courtroom interaction through a dramaturgical lens, highlighting tacit siLike other Western legal systems, the Swedish legal system constructs objectivity as an unemotional state of being.
