Interaktionsmöjligheter i sociala medier har bidragit till att varumärkesinnehavare har fått minskad kontroll över vilka budskap som kommuniceras om varumärket. Studien analyserar hur värde i relation till ett varumärke förhandlas mellan använ-dare inom en gemenskap på Instagram, samt hur normer och gruppstrukturer på-verkar och påverkas av förhandlingsprocesser inom gemenskapen. Studien bygger på
Return models and covariance matrices of return series have been studied. In particular, GARCH and SV models are compared with respect to their forecasting accuracy when applied to intraday return series. SV models are found to be considerably more accurate and more consistent in accuracy in forecasting. Covariance matrices formed from Gaussian and GARCH return series, and in particular, return s
Introduction: Many countries in the world are still facing high maternal mortality rates and women still die due to preventable pregnancy- and birth-related causes. This could be prevented with an improvement in the quality of care and yet many countries, especially in the rural areas, have challenges in doing so. In order to understand why is care given in certain way, more qualitative studies ne
This thesis examines the ongoing violent situation with the criminal networks in Sweden, what the obligations under article 19 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child entail and to what extent the measures taken by the Swedish government live up to these obligations. Many children today are in various ways being affected by the gang-related violence, especially those who live in the vulner
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly aggressive form of cancer, characterized by a particularly poor prognosis. Subsequently, it has a very low five-year survival rate of only 6%. At the clinic, patients are either diagnosed at advanced stages where care is more palliative and with few therapeutic options or, when diagnosed at earlier stages, respond very positively to first-line treatments b
When people (repeatedly) choose among items characterized by multiple attributes ( price, quality, brand etc..) they often over-or under-weight certain attributes depending on which features stand out in the choice set. Salience theory explains how these distortions arise in a static setting. I extend the existing salience theoretic model for deterministic choice to a setting in which the decision
I dagens snabbt föränderliga samhälle har teknologins inflytande djupt förvandlat olika aspekter av människors liv och medför både stora möjligheter och kritiska säkerhetsutmaningar. För att minska riskerna för dataintrång, skadliga attacker och övergripande cybersäkerhetshot vidtar företag proaktiva åtgärder genom att erbjuda utbildning och träning till sina anställda inom områdena cybersäkerhet In today's rapidly evolving society, the pervasive influence of technology has profoundly transformed various aspects of human life, presenting both unprecedented opportunities and critical security challenges. To mitigate the risks of data breaches, malicious attacks, and overall cyber threats, companies have taken proactive measures by providing education and training to their employees in t
Utrymning i sjukhus ställer speciella krav på brandsystem och byggnader då sjukhus ofta är stora och komplexa byggnader med många människor med olika förutsättningar. Där befinner sig personer i alla åldrar, personer med diverse nedsatt rörlighetsförmåga samt nedsövda personer som behöver assistans av anställda för att kunna utrymma byggnaden. Patienter som behöver assistans vid transport kan ta eEmergency evacuation in hospitals sets special demands on fire protection systems and the construction of the building since hospitals often are large and complex buildings. People and patients of all ages, with reduced mobility, and anesthetized people who are not capable to evacuate without assistance are often present. The procedure of evacuating a hospital is therefore not an easy task. The pu
I maj 2022 beslutade regeringen kommittédirektiv om effektiv beskattning av orealiserade kapitalvinster, när fysiska personer flyttar ut från Sverige. Utredaren ombads undersöka möjligheten att ersätta tioårsregeln med en utflyttningsskatt, för att säkerställa att vinster som upparbetas i landet, även beskattas här. Nuvarande skattesystem med tioårsregeln dränerar den svenska skattebasen och utgörIn May 2022, the Government appointed an inquiry by committee directive on effective taxation of unrealised capital gains, when individuals emigrate from Sweden. The special commissioner was requested to consider the possibility of replacing the current tax system regarding extended tax liability, the so-called ten-year rule, by exit taxation, to ensure that profits generated in Sweden also are su
The work as a social worker comes with a great responsibility when it comes to making decisions that may impact people's lives. The social worker has the opportunity to make a professional decision by using the information that has been provided from the clients. However, the social worker does not have the ability to make any decision based on their own preferences. They have the freedom of a
Vatten är en ständigt viktig resurs och med torrare väder runt om i världen, även i Sverige, finns en risk att för låga vattennivåer för att tillfredsställa behoven för bland annat hushåll, djur och industrier i framtiden. Industrier som producerar färsk frukt och grönsaker har hög vattenförbrukning och nästan allt processvatten används i sköljningsprocessen. För att minska vattenförbrukningen harWater is a resource of importance and with drier weather around the world, including Swe-den, there is a risk of too low levels of water to satisfy for instance households, animals and industries in the future. Fresh-cut fruit and vegetable industries are water intense and almost all process water is used in the washing process. To decrease the water consumption recircu-lation of wastewater has be
In the global context of an ever-growing trend of automobility and all its drawbacks, cycling offers an environmentally and socially sustainable transport alternative. Copenhagen has become one of the best cities for cycling, and impressive advances in promoting this practice have raised their cycling share up to 41% of all trips to work/education. However, municipal cycling goals have been postpo
In this project, an electromagnetic side-channel attack has been made by exploiting the information leakage from a field programmable gate array (FPGA) and an implemented advanced encryption standard with a 256-bit key (AES-256). The FPGA-board was a Nexys-4 from Digilent with Artix-7 FPGA. The attack was partially successful. A few subkeys were successfully extracted from AES-256 with only 2000-3

Therewith gaining a deeper understan
Transportation has a central role in the development of societies and has a significant impact on sustainability. Transportations with cars that are motor driven is the largest contributor to carbon dioxide emissions and is seen as the biggest threat to sustainable mobility. The car is deeply rooted in societies and the urban landscape is largely adapted to the use of this kind of transportation.
This thesis examines why forward integration into hospitality remains a selective rather than widespread strategy in the alcohol industry. While strategic theory suggests that owning the point of consumption can strengthen brand control and reduce coordination risk, most alcohol producers continue to rely on third-party venues. This study explores why that gap exists. Drawing on transaction cost e
STUDY DESIGN: Cross-sectional study.INTRODUCTION: Flexion (Palmar Pinch, PP-MVC and Tip Pinch, TP-MVC) and extension (E-MVC) maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) of the index-thumb system offers a quick way to estimate the level of hands' impairment in several musculoskeletal and neurologic conditions.PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: This study established normative data of PP-MVC, TP-MVC, E-MVC in the Italia
BACKGROUND: Gastrectomy (Gx) causes osteopenia. The hypothesis tested in the present study is that Gx affects Ca homeostasis and that an impaired ability to handle Ca contributes to the Gx-evoked osteopenia. METHODS: SHAM-operated and Gx rats were compared with respect to changes in blood Ca2+ after oral or intravenous loads of CaCl2 1-2 weeks or 2-4 months after the operations. RESULTS: Different
