This thesis thereby enhances knowledge regarding the consumer perspective of moral branding and furthermore contribute

III-Sb semiconductor nanowires have drawn a lot of attention because of their many promising applications, such as thermoelectric generation, low power high efficient electronics and quantum transport. Gold as a catalyst seed particle has been dominating for many years assisting nanowires growth. However, gold is incompatible with silicon-based electronics, which is dominating today. Therefore, fi

Köptryck och Prisförändringar på Aktiemarknaden Att priset på en aktie ökar i takt med antalet köp kan låta självklart. Lika självklart är dock inte utseendet av detta samband, och hur stor del av prisförändringarnas varians som förklaras av det så kallade köptrycket. Det visar sig bland annat att en akties totala omsättning har en direkt inverkan på hur mycket aktiepriset styrs av aggregerat köptIn this thesis, the correlation between aggregated buy-/sell-pressure and price change is analyzed, something often referred to as price impact. The purpose is not only to find a model that can explain how prices change given a certain traded volume, but also to see how much of the variance in price changes results from the actual buy- or sell-pressure. Analysis is conducted on monthly trading data

Många av dem mest spektakulära händelserna som sker i vår värld kan inte ses med blotta ögat. Vid varje andetag sker miljontals reaktioner, saltkoncentrationen i cellerna regleras, signaler skickas genom kroppens nervsystem, och receptorer plockar upp signalmolekyler likt hur post skickas till brevlådan och läses av oss i hemmet. Immunförsvaret är en otroligt viktig del av vår kropp som dagligen The immune system is a very complex system, aimed to protect the body from the many dangers that loom around us. A well-functioning immune system can fight of most invaders, remove foreign particles that entered our bodies, and take care of dead cells. The aim in this work is seeing how the protein CD45 (also known as PTPRC, protein tyrosine phosphatase, receptor type, C) is affected by salt conc

Syfte: Studien undersöker vilken information klassificering i subformer av Lindriga kognitiva symptom (MCS) och depressions- och ångestsymptom tillför den diagnostiska prediktionen av Alzheimers sjukdom (AS) för patienter med MCS. Metod: Patienterna (N = 417) var mellan 60 och 80 år och hade subjektiva och/ eller objektiva lindriga kognitiva symptom, men uppfyllde inte diagnoskriterier för demenssAims: The study investigates what information classification of Mild Cognitive Symptoms (MCS) subtype and symptoms of depression and anxiety add to the diagnostic prediction of Alzheimer's disease (AD) for MCS-patients. Method: Patients (N = 417), ranging between 60 and 80 years old, had subjective and/ or objective mild cognitive symptoms, but did not meet diagnostic criteria for dementia at

Vispgrädde med mer proteiner och mindre fett Det finns stora mängder vassleproteiner som inte används i mejeriprodukter. Dessa har bra näringsvärde och skulle kunna ersätta en del av fettet i en fet produkt. Då skulle till exempel vispgrädde kunna bli lite nyttigare. Vispgrädde är en populär produkt med ett brett användningsområde. Dess viktigaste egenskap är att kunna bli vispad och bilda ett sSkånemejerier has a shortage of cream and by producing a product with low amounts of fat, the shortage can be decreased. One way is to replace the fat with microparticulated whey proteins (MWP). This can be done by using a thermal treatment followed by a mechanical treatment obtained with a high-pressure homogeniser. The particles should be less than 5 μm to have a similar mouthfeel to fat particl

Network Video Door Stations are IP-based door stations for two-way communication, identification, and remote entry control. They have a number of different sensors e.g video, audio and accelerometer that can measure external data. These door stations serve multiple purposes including that of acting as a security feature and they are often exposed to malicious intent. The goal of this master thesis

Sverige står inför en framtid med demografiska utmaningar som kommer att sätta press på de offentliga finanserna. Med en ökad medellivslängd och en befolkningsstruktur där andelen äldre blir fler i relation till den arbetsföra befolkningen kommer det att leda till ett ökat tryck på pensionssystemen. Det är därför aktuellt att höja pensionsåldern för att möta denna utveckling vilket flera forskning

Förr var organisationer stillastående och producerade oftast enbart en vara eller tjänst. Nutiden är annorlunda och begrepp som flexibilitet, delaktighet och medarbetares hälsa är idag viktigt för organisationer att arbeta med. För att överleva marknaden och säkerställa en organisations framgång är det väsentligt att se förändring i arbetslivet som ett normaltillstånd. Organisationer som kan hante

While team dynamics is a heavily researched topic, the applicability within startup companies is fairly uncommon within entrepreneurship academic research. Therefore, the purpose is to analyze the application of team development theories on startups and present team development tendencies. The ambition is to provide information for entrepreneurs to consider in their new or already existing venture

This thesis explores how the workforce perceives and responds to gender diversity initiatives. While it is easy for companies to start talking about gender diversity and initiate different campaigns, it becomes challenging or even difficult to implement them in practice. In male-dominated industries gender diversity initiatives are facing different challenges and the progress remains slow. Our cas

Demonstration of entanglements of mobile electrons in solid state conductors using minimal entanglement linear witness from electrical current correlations has been given. However, detection of maximally entangled states and some mixed states is lacking if the witness is based on two cross correlation measurements only. This thesis is trying to detect them with the same number of measurements by i

Parkinson Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease affecting many neurons in the brain. Particularly nigrostriatal Dopamine (DA) neurons of the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) appear to be the epicenter of the disease. Cell death of these neurons is believed to be the primary cause for motor defects and many of the symptoms seen in PD patients. Many experimental therapies look to prevent

This study takes an in-depth look at sustainable procurement criteria used in the procurement of indirect services. A gap is identified in the literature analysis in the knowledge of sustainable procurement strategies and practice methods for the purchase of services and indirect spend categories. The author uses a case study method to investigate how sustainable procurement of indirect services i

The Berkeley Innovation Index (BII) is a tool developed for assessment of individual innovation capability. The index is based on responses to a survey that constitutes of questions linked to domain abilities, i.e., sub-traits, that are hypothesized to govern an individual's overall innovation ability. The underlying algorithm for the BII produces a score representing the test-takers' prof

The western culture has long been on the world stage in design, business, and cultural activities, while the beautiful Chinese historical culture is often forgotten. Culture communication and crosscultural design are fascinating fields. Combining design and business thinking is also an area that is worth to be researched. There are not many projects that have studied “cross-cultural” design with a

Post-humanistiska teorier ifrågasätter det med mänskligheten centraliserade perspektiv med vilket vi människor lever och upplever, beskriver och utformar världen. I ett posthumanistiskt perspektiv är natur kultur. Jord och djur är mer än resurser. Alla arter, och alla individer inom alla arter, är aktörer och subjekt. Modern djurhållning är en ofta onaturlig, ibland brutalt oetisk, konstruktion i

Denna uppsats har, utifrån kyrkoherden Sthen Jacobsens krönika "Den Nordiske Kriigs Krønicke", undersökt den sydsvenska och skånska åsiktsbilden på det Skånska kriget. Den har undersökt vad Jacobsen skrivit om krigets våldsamheter mot ickestridande, möjligt sidotagande mellan de danska och de svenska sidorna och Jacobsens syn på snapphanarna. Resultatet blev att en allmängiltig åsiktsbil

As the address space of IPv4 is being depleted with the development of IoT (Internet Of Things), there is an increasing need for permanent transition to the IPv6 protocol as soon as possible. Nowadays, many 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) Networks have implemented or will implement IPv6 in the near future for Internet access. These networks will also use NDP (Neighbor Discovery Protocol)
