Gaming as a Service is not defined in existing research. The lack of a formal definition leads to an ambiguity between its function as a business model and the long-term strategy of the firm. The purpose and aim of this study is to investigate the definition of GaaS business model, distinguishing its function from the strategy. Furthermore, the key components of the model are established based on
Tobacco smoking is more prevalent among the elderly than among the young, and the elderly also have the most frequent contact with the health care system. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Gold Standard Program, which is an intensive six-week smoking cessation program, on continuous self-reported abstinence rates after six months, on participants over the age of 60 yea
Breast cancer incidence has markedly increased in Western countries for reasons that are not entirely understood. We characterized periodic and age-specific incidence trends of breast cancer in immigrants who migrated from low incidence areas to Sweden. The incidence in immigrants was compared to that in native Swedes and standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were calculated, based on the Swedish F
Sustainability researchers are facing increasing pressure to improve their scientific communication and to achieve impacts in wider society with their research. Knowledge mobilisation (KMB) is a key component of both challenges, as it relates to efforts undertaken by researchers to achieve impacts with their research. This study seeks to identify some of the KMB practices being undertaken by exper
In the following years we will experience a transition towards Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). The reason is the depletion of IPv4 address space due to the rapid increasing numbers of Internet of Things (IoT) devices connection. This transition however poses a problem, since the majority of these devices mostly are mobile and not connected to power source. Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) def
Abstract Purpose: The purpose is to explore how consumer attitude are influenced by the use of female empowerment as part of a company's brand building process. Methodology: A qualitative case study, using focus group interviews. The paper has directed its focus towards the online D2C brands Estrid and Stronger. The focus groups consisted of the brands’ main target group, women aged 20-25. F
Politisk konsumtion är en växande konsumentrörelse där individer konsumerar inte enbart för att maximera egennytta, utan även för att skapa godartad samhällelig förändring, lokalt som globalt. Den teoretiska debatten kring detta fenomen vilar på grunder såsom neoklassisk marknadsekonomi och idén om den suveräna konsumenten. Koncept som har problematiserats och ifrågasatts i relation till denna dis
Purpose: The study aims to investigate the knowledge sharing processes in a knowledge-intensive firm and to explore how organizational culture influences knowledge sharing. Methodology: The present study is qualitative, and the material is approached through interpretative reading. The richness of the results is further enhanced by critically analyzing the informants’ taken for granted understandi
It is concluded that Melandrium glutinosum Rouy belongs in Sectíott jilisanthe oí Silene. It is certainly a distinct species and ¡ts correct ñame is S. marigii.A description is given. The species is believed to be endemic to the Iberian península and occurs among granite bonlders in the mountains of central Spain and northwest Portugal.Resumen. Se concluye que Melandrium glutinosum pertenece a la
The editors of Interfaces: A Journal of Medieval European Literatures explain the scope and purpose of the new journal by mapping out the significance and possible meanings of the three key terms of the subtitle: ‘literature,’ ‘medieval,’ ‘Europe.’ The specific theme of Issue 1 is introduced: ‘Histories of Medieval European Literatures: New Patterns of Representation and Explanation.’ With respect
The simplest and most natural definition of the term ‘conspiracy theory’ leads us to the conclusion that we are all conspiracy theorists. Yet, I claim that most of us would not self-identify as such. In this paper I call this the problem of self-identification. Since virtually everyone emerges as a conspiracy theorist, the term is essentially theoretically fruitless. It would be like defining inte
We prove the first hardness results against efficient proof search by quantum algorithms. We show that underLearning with Errors (LWE), the standard lattice-based cryptographic assumption, no quantum algorithm can weaklyautomate TC0-Frege. This extends the line of results of Krajííček and Pudlík(Information and Computation, 1998), Bonet, Pitassi, and Raz (SIAM Journal on Computing, 2000),and Bonet
