Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur Generation Z upplever lojalitetsprogram inom dagligvaruhandeln, med särskilt fokus på hur programmens olika inslag bidrar till att skapa kundengagemang och i vilken utsträckning detta kan relateras till kundlojalitet. Studien syftar vidare till att bidra med en ökad förståelse för lojalitetsprogram ur ett konsumentperspektiv, då tidigare forskning främst fok

Följande studie syftar till att öka kunskapen om hur unga medarbetare i åldern 20-25 år upplever organisatorisk rättvisa i relation till sin närmaste chef inom detaljhandeln, samt hur denna upplevelse formar medarbetarnas tillit till chefen. För att besvara studiens syfte och frågeställningar har en kvalitativ metod tillämpats, där empiri har samlats in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med 12 un

Background: Gender differences in palliative care is an under-researched area, both internationally and in Sweden. A regional pilot study by our research group indicated that men have greater unmet palliative care needs prior to referral. Building on these findings, the aim of this study was to examine gender differences in the quality of care received at the end of life within specialized palliat

Gender-based violence (GBV) remains a pressing public health challenge in South Africa, deeply rooted in intersecting social, economic, and structural factors. Comprehensive approaches are increasingly recognized as essential for addressing the complex nature of the issue. While efforts to prevent GBV among children and adolescents can yield long-term, sustainable outcomes, they often remain fragm

Den här studien undersöker hur småskaliga producenter i Nepal kan nå marknaden med torkade frukter, grönsaker och kryddor. Genom intervjuer med aktörer i hela livsmedelssystemet och analys av befintlig forskning kartläggs marknadsvägar, kundsegment och de hinder som präglar ett fragmenterat jordbrukssystem. Resultaten visar att framgångsrik marknadsintroduktion inte främst handlar om produkten i sSolar drying technologies give smallholder farmers in low- to middle-income countries (LMIC) a low-cost way to reduce post-harvest losses and add value to agricultural produce. Yet bringing solar-dried products to market remains poorly understood, particularly in fragmented food systems where structural conditions shape market entry in ways that standard frameworks do not account for.

Introduction: Intumescent fire-retardant (IFR) coatings are widely used to improve fire resistance of wood-based materials by forming an insulating char layer upon heating. Background: The performance of IFR coatings depend on both formulation variables, such as binder, charring agent (CA), blowing agent (BA), acid source as well as environmental exposure which may influence the durability (long

Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) burden remains a major public health problem worldwide. One recommended strategy to prevent CVDs is daily physical activity (PA), and urban green spaces (UGSs) have been shown to promote PA. However, the extent to which UGSs encourage movement depends on their quality. Consequently, making changes in existing green spaces can result in varying levels of hea

The vacuum brazing process was found to have an impact on the corrosion and mechanical properties of the austenitic stainless steel 316L. Although, the effect of heat treatment has been investigated previously, the impact of the nitrogen pressure in the vacuum furnace remains insufficiently understood. Therefore, this study examines two different coils of 316L stainless steel heat treated in three

Co-production, as a mechanism with collaborative and voluntary nature within the service-oriented logic framework, presents different characteristics in the event of system collapse. When the service infrastructure fails, if the authorities withdraw from the frontline, leaving a gap that disrupts the normal contracts of services. This study focuses on the winter disruption at Schiphol Airport in A

This study investigates the development of reinforced Hadfield steel composites aimed at improving hardness and wear resistance for applications subjected to serve impact and abrasion. Hadfield steel, although known for its excellent toughness and work hardening capability, exhibits relatively low initial hardness, which limits its performance in high wear environments. To address this limitation,

Vid köp av en bostadsrätt erhåller köparen en nyttjanderätt till en lägenhet eller ett småhus. I samband med förvärvet blir köparen medlem i bostadsrättsföreningen, men förvärvar inte äganderätten till den enskilda lägenheten eller småhuset. Bostadsrättsmedlemmar är exponerade mot en dubbel finansiell risk. Utöver egna bolån bär hushållet en indirekt skuldbörda via bostadsrättsföreningens lån, varWhen purchasing a tenant-owner flat in Sweden, the buyer acquires a right of use rather than direct ownership of the property. The association collectively holds the mortgage, exposing members to a dual financial risk, their own mortgage as well as an indirect debt burden through the association's loans, reflected in monthly fees. The capital structure decision, whether debt is held collective

Det finns cirka 10 000 dammar i Sverige, trots detta saknas praxis om hur fastigheter för dammar bör utformas. För vanligt förekommande fastigheter finns etablerade riktlinjer gällande utformning för att uppfylla lämplighetskraven i fastighetsbildningslagens tredje kapitel. Detta finns inte för dammfastigheter. Dammar är inte bara en fastighetsrättslig angelägenhet utan även en vattenverksamhet, vIn Sweden every property unit needs to go through a suitability judgement when subdivided or amended. The judgement asks whether the property unit is suitable for its intended use regarding how the property unit´s boundary is drawn. What constitutes a suitable property unit is well established for most types of uses. This is not the case for property units with a dam on them, so called dam-propert

Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) is an aromatic herb with widespread use in food, medicine and herbal tea production. In Nepal, post-harvest losses of agricultural products remain a significant challenge, and solar drying has been identified as a practical and economical preservation method for small-scale farmers. This thesis investigates how indirect solar drying affects selected quality paramet

Non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) are expected to become an important component of future sixth-generation (6G) wireless systems by extending broadband coverage to remote, maritime, aerial, and underserved areas. Among different NTN platforms, low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations are particularly attractive due to their lower propagation delay compared with geostationary systems. However,

This work studies the mechanism behind the photo-degradation of 2 types of COF nanoparticle, hoping to provide a deeper understanding of photophysics of catalytic process. As a new field of organic materials, COFs are undergoing fast development, which offers a powerful molecular platform for complex structural design and tailorable development. Lots of studies have been carried out to figure out

Dry powder inhalers (DPIs) are widely used to treat respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The performance of DPI formulations is influenced by the properties of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), but systematic comparative studies of different APIs under the same processing conditions remain limited. This study investigated the effects of di

This study aimed to evaluate the permeation-enhancing properties of Coegin Pharma’s gel serum formulation on NPP-4, a peptide of interest for melanogenesis stimulation. A full-thickness reconstructed human skin model (MatTek EpiDermFT), comprising epidermis and dermis, was used to evaluate NPP-4 distribution in the gel serum vs a H2O reference vehicle. In parallel, methylene blue was used as a mod

Tuberculosis and nontuberculous mycobacterial infections remain a major global health challenge due to rising antimicrobial resistance, prolonged treatment regimens, and the complex, poorly permeable structure of the mycobacterial cell envelope. This envelope limits antibiotic penetration and contributes to intrinsic drug tolerance. Bacteriophage-derived lytic enzymes, including Lysin A (LysA) and

Det kan verka oväntat att använda kolhydrater i medicintekniska produkter men kolhydrater som dextran är mycket lovande material eftersom de är både biokompatibla och biologiskt nedbrytbara. Ett exempel är nedbrytbara dextranmikrosfärer (DDMs), små sfäriska partiklar som kan användas inom flera medicinska tillämpningar, exempelvis vid embolisering för att strypa blodflödet till tumörer. För att tDegradable dextran microspheres (DDMs) are promising materials with potential applications in drug delivery and medical devices due to their biocompatibility, biodegradability and versatile properties. DDMs are produced through a water-in-oil emulsion in which an aqueous dextran solution is dispersed in an organic solvent containing an emulsifier. Addition of a crosslinker, such as epichlorohydrin
