Our model suggests that an extra focus on what the customers perceives as quality is needed in order to succeed on emerging mid-markets. As actual quality only matters if it affects perceived quality this information is needed in order to develop “the right product”. It is not only about having a customer focus; rather we suggest that the company must “turn the customer perception into its reality
Everybody can take part in democratic election by giving a vote on the candidate most suited for the task. Still, many choose not to. The non-voters are rarely randomly spread out in an urban area but form geographical patterns. The aim of this thesis is to see which demographical factors that correlate and explain these patterns in Bogotá, Colombia. The method used is a mixed quantitative and qua
This study is a qualitative analysis of how three political parties, elected into the Swedish parliament, through their texts about gender equality construct Sweden and the western world as democratic and developed. The result of this process is that the people outside of the western world are constructed as the Others, who are viewed as undemocratic and undeveloped. As theoretical perspectives I
”Melodifestivalen” är ett evenemang med miljontals tittare som sänds i SVT på bästa sändningstid. Den är ämne för en omfattande pressuppslutning, inte minst från kvällspressen, som granskar och skildrar de inblandades prestationer. Programledarna för ”Melodifestivalen 2011” var Rickard Olsson och Marie Serneholt, en manlig mediepersonlighet med stor erfarenhet från liknande uppdrag och en sångersk
In the year 1972 an excavation started on a peculiar ruin situated along the southern shore of Iceland. The next four years archaeologists unearthed quite interesting medieval farmstead there. This particular farmstead has been given the name Kúabót and has had great impact on the Icelandic archaeology. The aim of this thesis is to investigate this farmstead and especially two artifacts in detail.
Ett olovligt bortförande eller kvarhållande föreligger när ett barn under sexton år har blivit bortfört eller kvarhållet i en stat, som inte utgör barnets hemvist, i strid med vårdnadshavarens vilja. 1980 års Haagkonvention, som har införlivats i svensk rätt genom verkställighetslagen (VerkstL), har utarbetats i syfte att skydda de barn som har blivit olovligen bortförda eller kvarhållna mellan laThe 1980 Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction (Hague Convention), incorporated into Swedish law by the verkställighetslagen (VerkstL), aims to protect children from the harmful effects of cross-border abduction. Under the Hague Convention, the legal guardian of the child in his or her state of habitual residence enjoys ‘rights of custody’ over that child. The removal or
The Internet poses new challenges to the legal world. One of those challenges is the sale of someone else’s trademark as a keyword in different referencing service programs on the Internet. This issue has, in the recent years become an important topic and a much-litigated issue. The referencing service providers earn big profits on their referencing service programs and the biggest provider for a
Large and strongly growing organizations tackle the issue of finding a way to decide which business requirements to fulfill and which projects to move forward but often forget the strategic. Once a strategy has been developed, its implementation appears to be seen as a matter of operational detail and tactical adjustment. As efforts and resources risk to be put on the wrong projects, how do you ma

Coniferous as spruce (more specifically Norway spruce, Picea abies) and deciduous species like European beech (Fagus sylvatica) and oak (Quercus spp.) co exist in south Sweden. In perspective of climate change, species composition of Swedish forests is assumed to change. Observed climate on the period 1950-2010 prove that a general warming trend is occurring in southern Sweden, and that vegetation
Mediterranean regions have a growing number of extreme weather events due to rapid change of climate. Cork oak, which is located in the western Mediterranean area, has become a very valuable resource within the western Mediterranean forests. Therefore, assessment of the impacts of climate extremes upon cork oak can help us produce better forest management practices for coping with future climate c
This thesis examines the potential of a social economy-based microenterprise model as a new community development tool in the special context of indigenous Quechua communities in rural Peru where their socio-economic realities are substantially different from the modern society. Although, the social economy-based development policies are widely discussed in many Latin American countries, only litt
Phenological observations of terrestrial ecosystems are useful in monitoring the changes in the local climate due to their relatively long time series and high temporal resolution. However performing field based phenological observations can be a labour intensive and time consuming process. Using satellite-based remotely sensed data can make the process much more efficient. Although the satellites
Scientific abstract: As the increasing attentions drawn to the environment and climate change issue, the profound impact on the earth system made known to nearly every corner of the world. A great variety of global protocols and conventions has been established aiming to reduce global environmental risks and maintain a healthy earth system. In order to monitor, supervise these protocols and conven
Living in long distance relationships (LDRs) has become a common phenomenon worldwide. LDR couples continously move in and out of each other's co-presence, and research has shown that the transitions between togetherness and separateness give rise to factors experienced as both constraining and enabling. The present study extends LDR-research done by Sahlstein (2004) by taking attachment organ
Remote sensing is an extensively used technique in ecosystem monitoring or analyzing the carbon balance on the earth surface. The most dominant part of south west Skåne is agricultural land and MODIS derived Vegetation Indexes (VIs) are able to investigate the seasonality of crop fields. The values of VIs represent the different stages of spring greening up of crops and it shows the non-linear and
Economic sanctions are defined as the exercise of pressure by one state to produce a change in the political behaviour of another state. Traditional economic sanctions are directed at the entire population of a state whilst targeted sanctions are directed at a state’s individuals. This thesis discusses the application of economic sanctions against Iran by the UN, the EU and the United States. Econ
I denna uppsats undersöks rättsläget för arbetstagares yttrandefrihet och gränserna för kritikrätten vid användning av sociala medier såsom Facebook och bloggar. Arbetstagaren har en plikt att vara lojal gentemot sin arbetsgivare. Lojalitetsplikten utgör en samlingsbeteckning för en rad olika förpliktelser, t.ex. tystnadsplikten och den närliggande skyldigheten att iaktta begränsning i kritikrätteIn this thesis the employees’ freedom of expression and right to criticize the employer when using social media such as Facebook and blogs is examined. The employee has an obligation to be loyal to his or her employer. The concept of loyalty covers many different obligations, for example the duty to respect confidentiality and the closely related duty to not criticize the employer, the employer’s
Historically, the nautical fault exception was justified on the basis that shipowners lacked the ways to control their ships by communication on long voyages and so masters had to act in their own judgement. Modern communications have defeated this underlying rationale but shipowners still want to claim the benefit of the exception. As a matter of statutory regulation, the exception traces back to
