Konceptet city branding har växt fram som ett strategiskt verktyg i syfte att uppnå positiva uppfattningar av en stad bland invånarna samt attrahera de som vill bosätta sig på, investera i eller besöka platsen. Evenemang och festivaler har visat sig vara populära strategier ämnade att skapa mervärde i värdstadens samhälls- skikt, som bidrar till det varumärke och den image som önskas. Malmö är enThe concept of city branding has emerged as a strategic tool in order to achieve positive perceptions of a city among residents and to attract those who want to live, invest or visit the location. Events and festivals have proven popular strate- gies in order to create added value in all societal aspects of the host-city, contrib- uting to the brand and image as desired. Malmö is a multidimensiona

”Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, therefore Islam is… - the view of Islam and Muslims in the student organization Credo Lund” is an inductive, quantitative interview-study. The purpose of the study is to investigate how a person, convinced of Christianity‟s exclusivity when it comes to salvation, relates to and talks about Islam and Muslims. The material consists of interviews with four m

Organizations today are increasingly dependent on IS (information systems) to perform vital tasks. Dependence of the IS, and the fact that organizations are exposed to an increasing number of threats has given information security increasing attention within the organizations. Information security has long been perceived as a technical problem. Only recently information security begun to be unders

Humanity is facing one of the greatest challenges ever. Climate change and global warming is a great risk and our consumption and dependency of fossil fuel are important causes of this accelerating issue. My thesis aims to design an entry for the professional debate about what urban areas in a fossil free future might be like. I’m investigating how an urban environment that requires as little tra

I takt med ökade krav på hållbart byggande och användning av mer klimatsmarta byggnadsmaterial växer intresset för byggande med biobaserade material. Samtidigt måste dessa material klara de byggnadskrav som ställs och inte minst vid renovering av kulturhistoriska byggnader där kravet på bevarande är av största vikt. Detta examensarbete undersökte möjligheten att använda biobaserade material som inAs demands for sustainable construction and climatesmart materials continue to grow, interest in building with bio-based materials has increased significantly. However, these materials must still meet contemporary building standards and especially in the context of renovating culturally and historically significant buildings, where preservation is a primary concern. This thesis explores the feasib

Fastställande av faderskap har historiskt haft stor betydelse i Sverige och varit avgörande för barns rättsliga och sociala ställning. Under lång tid gjordes en tydlig åtskillnad mellan barn födda inom och utom äktenskap, där barn utom äktenskap hade begränsade rättigheter. Sexuella relationer utom äktenskap var länge kriminaliserade och det kvarlevande stigmat kom även att prägla lagstiftningen oThe establishment of paternity has historically been of great significance in Sweden and has been decisive for children’s legal and social status. For a long time, a clear distinction was made between children born within and outside of marriage, where children born outside of marriage had limited rights. Sexual relations outside of marriage were long criminalized, and the lingering stigma also ca

The purpose of this research is to investigate the value premium associated with extent of hedging in the U.S. airline industry during the period 2006 to 2010 and to study the results of hedging on accounting performance as a proxy for firm value. The multivariate approach has been taken to measure the firm value using Tobin's q and accounting performance variables. The results show that hedgi

Oatly is a company that produces and sells oat based products. Their most selling product is the oat drink, which is a substitute to milk, and over 80 percent of the annual sales volume comes from this product. Since the foundation of Oatly, the main idea has been to sell their products on markets with low milk availability and milk consumption. Most recently, Oatly identified the Chinese market a

China has the world’s largest telecommunication market and the competition in this market is becoming fiercer among corporations. To survive and increase market shares, competitive advantages are the key factors each corporation strives for. As one of the representative companies in the industry, China Mobile established in 2000, with its competitive advantages, has expanded rapidly and led to hug

Railways have played a significant role in the development of national identity. In the context of the European Union, I argue that it could play a similar role in supranational identity building. Currently, the European railways resemble a patchwork of incompatible standards and working practices. This thesis aims to investigate the roles efforts to harmonize this patchwork play in the cultural l

In the Dominican Republic, residing Haitians and their descendants, emigrated from the neighboring country Haiti, occupy the lowest societal strata. A societal position ascribed to the long and fraught history between the two countries. Their presence has for decades caused great aversion and has officially been labeled anti-Haitianism. Described as a viable political tool for conservatives and na

Arbetet ämnar ge ett teoretiskt perspektiv på utformningen av det svenska lagspråket. Genom en retorisk argumentationsanalys, grundad i Chaïm Perelmans teori om föreställda publiker och Lloyd Bitzers teori om den retoriska situationen, utreds konsumentlagstiftningen i sin egenskap som meningsbärare mellan en retorisk avsändare och en retorisk mottagare. Den gamla och den nya konsumentköplagen jämfThe thesis aims to provide a theoretical perspective on the language used in the Swedish law. Through a rhetorical argumentation analysis, grounded in Chaïm Perelman’s theory of perceived audiences and Lloyd Bitzer’s theory of the rhetorical situation, the consumer sales act is investigated in its capacity as a carrier of meaning between a speaker and an audience. The old and the new consumer sale

Objective. The current study used islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) knockout mice (KO mice) to investigate the physiological role of IAPP in the regulation of food intake (FI). Material and methods. FI and body weight were measured in KO and wild-type (WT) mice for 27 weeks. In an additional short-term experiment, IAPP (25 pmol . kg(-1)min(-1)) was infused subcutaneously for 3 days in KO and WT mic

In light of heightened interest in the response of pollen phenology to temperature, we investigated recent changes to the onset of Betula (birch) pollen seasons in central and southern England, including a test of predicted advancement of the Betula pollen season for London. We calculated onset of birch pollen seasons using daily airborne pollen data obtained at London, Plymouth and Worcester, det

Today, there is considerable interest in integrated forest biorefineries which, besides pulp, produce high-value-added products, such as, polymers and carbon fibres. Lignin is the major non-cellulosic constituent of wood. It is a complex, amorphous highly crosslinked polyphenolic. Lignosulphonate in spent liquor in sulphite mills has long been isolated using ultra filtration. Generally, precipitat

Several studies have indicated that mating disruption (MD) successfully reduces population densities of stored product moths, for example, the Mediterranean flour moth, Ephestia kuehniella (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). However, practical issues, such as finding control plots, replication, and lack of similarity between replicates, often incur problems in full-scale investigations and often dr

Compared to monolingual first language acquisition (L1) and adult second language acquisition (aL2), relatively little research has been done on child second language acquisition (cL2). This is an unsatisfactory situation from both a practical and a theoretical point of view. The present study concerns cL2 acquisition of French and poses the question whether cL2 acquisition bears closer resemblanc
