This thesis aims to investigate the different mechanisms that Chinese companies in green industries used to acquire technological capabilities and how they changed over time. The thesis also aims to examine how the geographical pattern in outbound Chinese greenfield foreign direct investment has changed over time. By examining the inbound and outbound greenfield foreign direct investment pattern i
Our intention of this research was to study how treatment assistants who is working in two different treatment houses for addicts are considering the way out of alcohol and narcotic substances addiction. The two different treatment houses are one motivation clinic and one support clinic. We have chosen a qualitative method with semistructured interviews in this research where six treatment assista
In the context of multinational corporations, subsidiaries became increasingly important for the organization as a whole over the last decades. Taking into account gaps found in the literature in the field of subsidiaries, the authors of this thesis aim to understand “how does individual intrapreneurship within a subsidiary impact the role of this subsidiary in an MNC context?”. In order to under
Den så kallade standardmodellen har länge betraktats som en av den moderna vetenskapens triumfer, tack vare dess oerhört exakta förutsägelser, som gång på gång har verifierats av experiment. Men från dess begynnelse har den alltid varit inkomplett: inte nog med att gravitationen, den kraft som vi människor är mest bekanta med, inte ens inkluderas i den så har olika, tidigare okända fenomen blivit In this project a two Higgs doublet model with a complex singlet and an extra family symmetry providing a mechanism for suppression of flavor changing neutral currents is explored. The goal is to investigate the phenomenological consistency of the model using a custom software framework. To this end, the scalar and Yukawa sectors of this extension of the Standard Model are explored in detail. The
Utsatta EU-medborgare som befinner sig i Sverige får sina grundläggande mänskliga rättigheter kränkta. På grund av fattigdom, diskriminering och marginalisering har utsatta EU-medborgare, de flesta romer, kommit till Sverige för att söka försörjning. FN har uttryckt en stor oro över situationen och behandlingen av utsatta EU-medborgare i Sverige. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka hur Vulnerable EU-citizens’ basic human rights are being violated today in Sweden. Due to poverty, discrimination and marginalization vulnerable EU-citizens, most of whom identify as Roma, have come to Sweden to find self-provision. The UN have expressed great concern over the situation and treatment of vulnerable EU-citizens in Sweden. The purpose of this essay is to examine how vulnerable EU-citize
Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilka attityder konsumenter har till individanpassad marknadsföring och huruvida attityderna påverkas av var konsumenten befinner sig i köpprocessen, vilken relation de har till företaget, samt faktorerna ålder, deras inställning till personlig integritet och vilket förtroende de har för företag. Teoretiskt ramverk: Köpprocessen av Kotler och Keller, d
This study focuses on the relationship between education and economic growth, specifically the effect a potential decline in schooling caused by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic would have on the economic growth of a country. Using an inductive approach, the study focuses on the Sub- Saharan African countries, especially Kenya, since there is anecdotal evidence that a significant number of students h
Background: In today’s consumption society, there is an endless amount of cosmetic brands to choose from. Moreover, the global consumption of cosmetics continues to increase, both among male and female consumers, and new cosmetic brands are constantly entering the marketplace. Despite this, little is known about the relationships between consumers and cosmetic brands (consumer-brand relationships)
PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of coworking space as it relates to meeting the common goals of collaboration, community, and creativity for its members. Through a case study of a coworking space, the study seeks answers to questions as: “How can coworking spaces enhance community, collaboration, and creativity to create a better experience for their members?” and “Are
This master thesis explores the possibilities of social robot adoption in the hotel industry. Social robots represent a new product group, a radical innovation, that has yet not seen commercialization in the hotel industry in Sweden. Furthermore, previous research has requested studies that determine success factors for social robot adoption in specific markets. This thesis therefore investigates

Assumptions about humankind’s separation from the rest of life on Earth have fuelled worldwide environmental destruction and a subsequent widespread loss of abundance and biodiversity amongst insects. As insects are vital to the health of the biosphere, a reconciliation of humans with the natural world is in due season. Drawing on eco-phenomenological ideas of the Flesh, embodied perception, and b
Miljöproblemen vet inga gränser och påverkar hela mänskligheten kollektivt. Historiskt har dock tillgången till rättslig prövning i svensk rätt kretsat kring individuella intressen. Århuskonventionen, som både Sverige och EU sedan år 2005 är parter till, introducerar en bindande mekanism där miljöorganisationer ges rätt att företräda det kollektiva intresset genom att väcka talan mot myndighetsåtgEnvironmental challenges know no borders and collectively impact all of humanity. Historically, access to judicial review in Swedish law has centered around individual interests. The Aarhus Convention, to which both Sweden and the EU have been parties since 2005, introduces a binding mechanism granting environmental organizations the right to represent collective interests by initiating lawsuits a
I utredningsbetänkandet "Kunskapskrav för permanent uppehållstillstånd" (SOU 2023:25) presenteras ett författningsförslag där ett kunskapsprov i det svenska språket och om det svenska samhället, föreslås vara en förutsättning för beviljandet av permanenta uppehållstillstånd. I denna uppsats undersöks och analyseras i huvudsak hur det formulerade syftet samt effekterna i lagförarbetena avIn the report "Requirements of skills as condition for permanent residence permit" (SOU 2023:25), the Inquiry proposes to introduce a test of Swedish language proficiency and knowledge of Swedish society, as a prerequisite for being granted a permanent residence permit. This thesis aims to primarily analyse and examine the stated purpose and effects of the requirement of skills, based on
This thesis explores how companies should manage their digital customer journey in a business-to-business context. In prior research, academic gaps related to diverse customers and internal capabilities’ influence on the digital customer journey have been identified. Thus, this thesis aims to explore how a case company should manage their digital customer journey and what internal capabilities, re
Lipid A (a hexaacylated 1,4' bisphosphate) is a potent immune stimulant for TLR4/MD-2. Upon lipid A ligation, the TLR4/MD-2 complex dimerizes and initiates signal transduction. Historically, studies also suggested the existence of TLR4/MD-2-independent LPS signaling. In this article, we define the role of TLR4 and MD-2 in LPS signaling by using genome-wide expression profiling in TLR4- and MD-2-de
We present rock magnetic and palaeointensity data from Holocene Icelandic lava flows, including historical and pre-historical lavas. Susceptibility versus temperature measurements indicate that the magnetic mineralogy is dominated by primary titanomagnetite that have experienced variable degrees of high-temperature oxidisation. The analyses also demonstrate that virtually all studied samples are t
The size of the anisotropic domains in a lyotropic liquid crystal is estimated using a new protocol for diffusion NMR. Echo attenuation decays are recorded for different durations of the displacement-encoding gradient pulses, while keeping the effective diffusion time and the range of the wave vectors constant. Deviations between the sets of data appear if there are non-Gaussian diffusion processe
Bet-hedging is defined as a strategy that reduces the temporal variance in fitness at the expense of a lowered arithmetic mean fitness. After a few technical points, we will here argue that this definition of bet-hedging is badly suited for models with density- and/or frequency-dependent fitness. A strict interpretation cannot be employed; possibly, a modified definition is necessary.
