As the world becomes a global market and the number of multinational enterprises (MNEs) continues to rise, understanding effective international marketing strategies becomes increasingly critical. This paper explores promotion strategies adapted to individual cultures and markets from a consumer perspective, addressing gaps left by previous studies that predominantly focus on quantitative analyses
This thesis presents a case for the establishment of a human right to financial inclusion under the human rights framework, as well as argues for states to legitimize the right through legal protection in the form of a legislation in order to effectively guarantee the significant benefits of the right for everyone. The rationale for this research is that, despite its immense contribution in human
This study follows cycling as an experienced symbolic activity during the 1890s in Sweden. The period has been framed in both Swedish and international research as pivotal for the activity in the western world. Cycling and the object itself were seen as emblematic of modernity and social status; the symbolism it had was lost due to the introduction of the car and the increased prevalence of bikes,
Altermagnetism is an emerging field within condensed matter physics. This new magnetic phase was first theoretically considered and later experimentally observed. The physical properties of altermagnets are speculated to make them appealing candidates for applications within fields such as spintronics and superconductivity. To determine which materials exhibit altermagnetism, numerical considerati
Background Companies are increasingly realizing that efficient distribution can contribute to gaining a competitive advantage in the market. By efficiently routing vehicles, the optimal balance between customer service and costs can be achieved. Consequently, the vehicle routing problem is one of the most critical challenges logistics companies face today. However, previous research on vehicle rou
Bakgrund: Sensoriska integrationssvårigheter kan påverka ungdomars dagliga aktiviteter, inklusive skolarbete. Bedömningsinstrumentet SPM-2, som syftar till att identifiera sådana svårigheter hos ungdomar, har nyligen översatts från den ursprungliga engelska versionen från USA. Den har dock ännu inte undersökts vad gäller användbarhet ur ett semantiskt och kulturellt perspektiv i den svenska skolmBackground: Sensory integration difficulties can impact adolescents' daily activities, including schoolwork. The assessment tool SPM-2, which aims to identify such difficulties among adolescents, has recently been translated from the original English version from the USA. However, it has not yet been examined for its validity from a semantic and cultural perspective in the Swedish school envi
Research question: How do social relationships and social interactions shape the behavior of young consumers on Social Media and Communication Apps? Purpose: The purpose of this study is to enhance the understanding of how the Social Customer Journey influences the purchasing behavior of young consumers on Social Media and Communication Apps. Furthermore, the study aims to explore the dynamics o
Urban green infrastructure (UGI) is gaining popularity for disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation in urban contexts, but dense development obstructs the realisation of large-scale greening measures. This thesis investigates the potential of small-scale, site-specific urban greening in a residential area in Cologne, Germany, to improve ecosystem service supply. The objective is to as
During installation of firmware updates over the air, servers will usually collect data with statuscodes and information about the installation and update process. Given a large dataset with multiple installation steps, errors might occur occasionally dependant on outside factors such as internet connection, limited storage space or other issues that are not directly related to the stability of th
Vad kostar det om ett exploateringsprojekt stöter på oförutsedda problem kopplade till naturvärden som man måste ta hänsyn till vid en markexploatering? Hur kan naturvärden egentligen påverka den ekonomiska kalkylen i ett projekt om de dyker upp som en överraskning under projektutvecklingen? Intressant är även att undersöka om det med träffsäkerhet går att identifiera, men också att prissätta och What is the cost if a development project encounters unforeseen difficulties related to values in nature that must be considered during a land development? How can natural values affect the balance sheet of a project if they appear as a surprise during project development? It is also interesting to investigate whether it is possible or not to identify and price risks related to nature in the proje
Svenska kommuner befinner sig just nu i en ansträngd ekonomisk situation med både brist på ekonomiska resurser och personal. Samtidigt råder det en efterfrågan på bostäder och i 180 av 290 svenska kommuner råder det ett underskott på bostadsmarknaden. Till följd av den begränsade resurstillgången måste kommunerna därmed prioritera vilket innebär att de måste fördela sina resurser till det som anseSwedish municipalities are currently in a constrained economic situation with a shortage of both financial resources and personnel. The municipalities hold a zoning monopoly, and due to the limited financial resources they have to prioritize within their physical planning to ensure they allocate their resources on what is most important. The aim of this thesis is to create an understanding of how
High-speed Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) play an important role in mod- ern electronic systems, especially those systems that require high data rates and low power consumption. These converters are essential components in various applications, including telecommunications, medical imaging, radar systems, and wireless communication. This thesis explores four different dynamic comparators to en

The main aim of this study was to investigate how individual differences in second language linguistic factors affect cognitive control subcomponents based on controlling for non-linguistic factors. More specifically, while controlling cultural background, age and educational level, this study examined how the age of second language acquisition, second language proficiency, second language usage,
In 2015 Sweden received a substantial amount of refugees from the Middle East compared to other European countries, which caused debate concerning Sweden's refugee politics. Some political parties wanted to focus on helping in the nearby area instead of the refugees coming to Sweden. When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022 refugees fled to Sweden again. The discussions throughout the society at th
The main drivers of the alarming biodiversity decline are land use and land use change, primarily due to agriculture. It is therefore important to assess the impact on biodiversity caused by production of food and to do so, life cycle assessment (LCA) is a method widely used. Since the UNEP-SETAC provisionally recommended the method by Chaudhary et al. (2015, updated 2018) for impact assessments o

Generally regarded as a sustainable country, Costa Rica faces the future challenge of maintaining their renewable energy performance amidst climate change impacts and the need to integrate intermittent renewables. This thesis explores the opportunities and barriers for Costa Rica to achieve 100% renewable electricity while maintaining energy security, despite its developing nation status. Through
Detta arbete handlar om transformation. Med utgångspunkt i de kulturhistoriskt värdefulla Lokstallarna i Malmö fick jag i uppdrag att varsamt anpassa och förän- dra denna plats till något jag ansåg skulle öka områdets värde och ge något positivt till Malmö stad i helhet. Något jag personligen alltid älskat med Malmö är hur staden värnar om och uppmuntrar kreativitet och skapelse. Utöver detta har
