Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to fill the research gap as previous research on the topic of interest lacks a country specific research on how culture effects standardization vs. adaptation by MNCs in emergent markets, in context to a specific advertising strategy. By providing a unique cross-cultural study on five different emergent markets (China, Pakistan, Mexico, Turkey and CWAR) the re
When it comes to absorbing and emitting radiation, molecules show similar properties as atoms do. A signicant dierence though, is that a molecular spectrum consists of notably more absorption lines compared to an atomic spectrum. The additional lines appear due to the fact that molecules can not only exist in electronic, but also in vibrational and rotational energy states. Each gas has uniquely d
Ekologisk kompensation och habitatbanker i kommunalt planarbete När exploateringar sker eller markanvändningen av ett område förändras kan vårt naturkapital påverkas negativt. Naturkapitalet är jordens samlade tillgångar och tjänster som vi människor bygger upp vårt samhälle på. Naturkapitalet består av bland annat den arter och naturtyper, ekosystemtjänster och upplevelsevärden kopplade till natBiodiversity offsets and habitat banking in municipal planning Biodiversity offsetting is used to prevent loss of natural capital in connection with new developments. Biodiversity offsetting, which is based on the polluter pay-principle, means that those who cause loss or damage to nature values such as species, habitats or ecosystem services should make up for it by creating or ensuring correspo

I Helsingborgs stad, likt i många andra större städer i Sverige, råder det platsbrist samtidigt som grönytor försvinner i takt med att nybyggnationer ökar. Helsingborgs stad har som vision att vara en skapande, pulserande, gemensam, global och balanserad stad för både människor och företag år 2035. Den nya urbaniseringstrenden ställer därmed krav på stadens uppbyggnad och planering. Vidare har gröIn Helsingborg, as in many other major cities in Sweden, there is a shortage of space as green space disappears while new construction increases. The municipality of Helsingborg has a vision to be a creative, vibrant, common, global and balanced city for both people and companies by 2035. The new urbanization trend places a demand on the city's construction and planning. Furthermore, greenery
Tractography is a visualization technique which reconstructs and models neural fibers in the white matter of the brain based on data from diffusion magnetic resonance imaging. It is already used locally to model parts of dominant fiber pathways but global methods are also emerging which aim to reconstruct all the brain fibers simultaneously. In this thesis we have attempted to improve the current
The aim of the paper is to illustrate the role of commodity price fluctuations in business cycles in three countries - the United Kingdom, the United States and Sweden. The study examines data between 1993 (Q3) – 2011(Q2). The countries in this paper represent differences in economic structure – Sweden is primarily an economy characterized by the manufacturing of goods, the United Kingdom represen
In this master's thesis a fully automated method is presented for seg- menting bones and cartilage in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the knee. The knee joint is the most complex joint in the human body and supports the weight of the whole body. This complexity and acute task of the knee joint leads to a disabling disease called Osteoarthritis among the adult population. The disease leads
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: I Kakeled på Kinnekulles sydvästsluttning, Västergötland, finns en blottad lagerföljd från överkambrium. Överkambrium är en tidsperiod som sträckte sig från ca 525 till 500 miljoner år sedan. Avsättningen i det överkambriska havet var extremt långsam (1-10 mm/1000 år). Bottenförhållandena var mer eller mindre syrefria, varför nedbrytningen av det organiska materUpper Cambrian strata are well exposed in an old quarry at Kakeled on south-western Kinnekulle, south-central Sweden. The exposures consist of finely laminated alum shale with lenses and beds of dark grey limestone (stinkstone or orsten), and a few thin layers of sandstone. A 6.20 m thick section in the central part of the quarry has been measured and sampled in order to establish the succession o
Until recently, the areas of patent law and human rights law were treated separately. The tensions between pharmaceutical patents and the human right to health could be felt already in the 1980s, when the HIV/AIDS pandemic broke out and the pharmaceutical company that discovered a drug which could be used to treat this disease decided to patent it and set the price so high, that it was impossible
Thomas Quick, numera Sture Bergwall, har kallats Sveriges värste seriemördare. Nu krackelerar den bilden. Sedan Thomas Quick tog tillbaka sina erkännanden har han praktiskt blivit friad från samtliga åtta mord han blivit dömd för. Syftet med framställningen är att utreda hur domen gällande Appojaurefallet kunde rämna bara för att den tilltalade Thomas Quick tog tillbaka sitt erkännande. Mer konk
This thesis proposes an alternative way of comparing the performance of private equity funds and testing if they through active involvement can increase the value of their investments. Resent studies has shown that the true performance of Private Equity funds are about the same as the markets return so by measuring the performance of the companies that most resemble the private equity firms actual
Den svenska familjerättsliga regleringen har sedan länge präglats av strävan att söka tillgodose barnets intresse i relation till föräldrarna. Ett tydligt uttryck för denna strävan finner man i föräldrabalkens 6 kap. 2 a § där det stadgas att barnets bästa ska vara avgörande för alla beslut om vårdnad, boende och umgänge. En ytterligare strävan i den familjerättsliga regleringen har varit att söka
This report contains an analysis of major fatal fires. The analysis is carried out using the methodology in the conference article "Learning from real fire incidents - A methodology for case studies." The methodology is used to systematically introduce, analyse and draw joint conclusions of the various events. The aim is to find the key factors leading to the development of the events, i
Crystallization of amorphous lactose during storage at high relative humidity and high temperatures has been found to impair the quality of skim milk powders. This is related to the glass transition of lactose. Above a certain temperature (glass transition temperature) amorphous lactose transfers through the rubbery zone into a crystalline state due to increased molecular mobility and as a result
While many studies have shown the importance to understand biodiversity patterns, it is still rare to find comparisons of different taxa. The aim of this thesis is to identify the biodiversity distribution of different terrestrial taxa in Swedish municipalities with a volunteer collection method, and compare it with the protected areas localization. This analysis suggests a new environmental plann
Att realisera outnyttjad potential – Om webbaserad samredovisning av BIM- och GIS-data En arkitekt placerar in sitt ännu bara tänkta hus i en realistisk 3D-modell av den omgivande staden för att visa allmänhet och beställare hur det kommer bli.

Much of these are geographic data, processed in some form of GIS (Geographical Information System). Others are building data, increasingly handled in different BIM (Building Informati
Doktrinen om R2P kom som en respons på de omfattande grymheter som skedde runt om i världen på 1990-talet. FN hade inte kunnat agera och förhindra de övergrepp som den civila befolkningen i exempelvis Rwanda och forna Jugoslavien hade blivit utsatta för. Man kom överens om att det krävdes en förändring för att ett skydd av de mänskliga rättigheterna skulle garanteras. Av denna anledning tillsattesThe doctrine R2P came as a response to the mass atrocities around the world during the 1990s. The UN had not been able to act and prevent the atrocities against the civilian population in, for example, Rwanda and former Yugoslavia. This demanded change, and therefore the ICISS Commission was appointed. The ICISS Commission wrote the rapport about “The Responsibility to protect”. According to their
The movement and distribution of ecologically important herbivores such as elephants are of great significance to conservation biologist seeking to understand the fundamental triggers that influence their mobility and the extent to which these parameters affect how they utilize their immediate and surrounding resources. The recent advancement in animal tracking technology coupled with the availabi
