Many people today possess a private digital photo collection. Such collections are often just chronologically sorted. One way to make photo browsing more interesting would be to suggest semantically related photos to a currently viewed photo, and if, in addition, such a relationship could be justified in words, that would create extra value for the user. To find a solution to this problem, the ap
Despite increased globalization since the 1980s in many sectors remained the textile and clothing trade regulated through country-specific import quotas. In 2005, they were terminated by the Agreement on Textiles and Clothing (ATC). Subsequently it was expected that mostly China would gain in worldwide exports while preferentially treated countries and countries facing fewer restrictions would not
Title: The valuation and recognition of internally generated brands & trademarks Seminar date: 31st May 2017 Course: Degree project – Accounting and Finance, BUSN79 Authors: Mikael Nilsson & Aisha Hawwari Supervisor: Kristina Artsberg Examinator: Susanne Arvidsson Key words: Internally generated brands, Brand valuation, Reliability, Recognition, Accounting Purpose: In this thesis
On average, entrepreneurs have lower incomes than employed individuals, work longer hour, and endure more stress. In spite of the grim reality, research has consistently shown entrepreneurs are more satisfied with their lives than employees. Through interviews with three former employees who have all undergone a transition to entrepreneurship, this study brings an in-depth understanding of how a s
Self-service technology (SST) is implemented in-store as a way of facilitating and enhancing customer experience in which value is co-created. Previous research on SSTs has been mainly conducted in utilitarian settings where discussions were inclined towards attributes of value-in-use with an emphasis on efficiency. However, when implemented in a hedonic retail setting such as fast fashion, co-cre
Trans*(sex/gender) is an increasingly common phenomenon of the contemporary world. Psychology, Feminist, Queer and Transgender studies have suggested various interpretations of trans* experiences. Departing from certain assumptions that notions of sex and gender are either authentic or performative, these disciplines have established worldwide the tenet that trans* is medically pathological or soc
Beer is one of the most favorable alcoholic beverages and has a large consumption in the world. However, there are fewer beer consumers who perceive the lacing character after drinking. Four different concentrations (25 mg/L, 50 mg/L, 75 mg/L and 100 mg/L) of iso-α-acid and two levels (0.3% and 0.15%, w/w) of protein content were investigated towards lacing property on modified hydrophilic and hyd
A driver model can be used to predict the vehicle velocity and the energy consumption. It can be modeled such that it benefits from historical data and can be further improved if a navigation system is available. A well implemented driver model is important since the car fleet seems to be more and more electrified. The role of the driver model would then be to increase the accuracy for when the dr
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a movement disorder of the brain which is hallmarked by the presence of large protein-rich cytoplasmic aggregates, called Lewy bodies (LBs), in the neurons. The protein α-synuclein (α-syn) is abundant in these aggregates, and can itself form aggregates. Several mutations linked to α-syn are also linked to an increased risk of contracting PD. In healthy neurons, the chap
The topic of fires in corners and along walls has been studied previously, however, two different studies conducted in 1987 and 2018 respectively, produced conflicting results regarding plume temperature for fires along walls, as well as hot gas layer temperature for both fires in corners and along walls. This thesis seeks to add data and clarification about fires in corners and along walls. T
Bumblebees, a pollinator, are haplodiploid with single-locus complementary sex determination (sl-CSD) and as a consequence can give rise to diploid males. Diploid males have previously been found to be associated with high costs and multiple severe effects. Mostly studied on Bombus terrestris, a common species, the frequency of diploid males have been suggested as a measure of inbreeding and there
The circulating fluidised bed boiler (CFB) consists of developing the combustion of a mass of fuel, in this case biomass, within a bed of particles in suspension, which have been fluidised by an ascending air current. Combustion occurs in a controlled manner throughout the entire furnace at temperatures around 850 ºC, which is lower than in conventional boilers, reducing NOx emissions. However, NO
Nowadays, due to the global climate change, it is extremely important to find alternative fuels to reduce the utilization of fossil fuels and the emission of air pollutants such as carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrocarbon pollutants, and soot. Ammonia (NH3) is a promising carbon free fuel candidate that can store and transport renewable hydrogen (H2) energy. Ammonia has several advantages over hydrogen i
There is still little consensus on whether trade promotes peace or not This thesis aims at investigating the relationship between economic interdependence and conflicts in post-Soviet countries, contributing to the empirical literature on the regional level. Using dyadic measures of trade and conflict, I investigate the relationship between interdependence and onset conflict, ongoing conflict, and
The objective of the degree project was to assess the average thermal transmittance and the climate impact of the façade. The studied prefabricated façade panels were the aluminium frame one, the insulated concrete sandwich and the wooden frame panel. The research approach consisted of five steps: the physical and thermal requirement of the panel was established; then the initial U-Value of each p
This paper explores how barriers and risks are perceived by different actors involved in Northvolt's establishment in Skellefteå, Sweden, through the Multi-Level Perspective (MLP) and risk perspective. The study employs a qualitative research design and utilizes document analysis and semi-structured interviews to collect data. The findings contribute to the existing risk framework by introduci
In May of 2005 the government of Zimbabwe initiated an eviction campaign called Operation Murambatsvina which rendered approximately 700,000 Zimbabweans homeless. The international community condemned the action and a UN Special Envoy was sent to assess the scope and extent of the Operation. This envoy, as well as numerous NGO reports, touched upon the subject of a ?crimes against humanity? charge
