Syfte: Denna studie syftar till att undersöka vilka attribut som påverkar “customer engagement” positivt för svenska butikskedjor på Instagram. Metod: Författarna har använt sig av en kvantitativ forskningsmetod där 121 svenska butikskedjor har undersökts. Utifrån sekundärdata som behandlat svenska konsumenters uppfattning kring diverse attribut beträffande företagen har korrelationer genomförts Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine what attributes that drive the Swedish consumer to CE in Instagram for Swedish chain stores. Methodology: The authors used a quantitative methodology and examined 121 Swedish retailers. The study is based on secondary data in terms of a survey where Swedish consumers responded to questions about their attitudes towards the brands. The collected score w

In 2008 Stockholm County Council decided to finance the construction of a new university hospital in Solna, Stockholm utilising public-private partnership (PPP). This decision received heavy criticism, partly due to the cost amounting to 61 billion SEK. The aim of this paper is to investigate, utilising Kingdon’s Multiple Stream Framework (MSF), why Stockholm County Council decided to finance the

Kalkskaliga nannofossil är spår av mikroskopiska organismer som utvecklades signifikativt under och efter slutet av trias, vilket kan ha påverkat havskemin samt kalkbildning i haven. Coccoliter, nannoliter och kalkskaliga dinoflagellater är vanligen förekommande kalkskaliga nannofossil som påträffas i övre trias. Denna studie syftar till att kvantifiera och undersöka laterala variationer hos kalksCalcareous nannofossils are microscopic remains of organisms that diversified considerably in and after the Late Triassic, and which may have influenced seawater chemistry and carbonate production. Coccoliths, nannoliths, and calcareous dinoflagellate cysts are important parts of many calcareous nannofossil assemblages in the Upper Triassic. This is a quantification study of an Upper Triassic lime

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate what drives the tension between exploration and exploitation in a product development process (PDP) as well as trying to understand if and how it can be managed. Research questions: What drives the tension between exploration and exploitation in a product development process? How can the tension between exploration and exploitation be managed in

Syfte: Syftet är att utvärdera huruvida den auktoriserade revisorns intressenter har kvar samma förtroende för revisorn trots att den teoretiska utbildningen har minskat. Metod: Uppsatsens metod bygger på en kvalitativ forskningsmetod och det abduktiva tillvägagångssättet används. Insamlande av empiriskt material har skett ifrån 18 stycken artiklar och i form av 16 stycken icke-fysiska intervjuerPurpose: The purpose of the thesis is to evaluate whether the Certified Public Accountant’s stakeholders have the same trust for the accountant even though the theoretical educational qualification has decreased. Methodology: The method of the thesis is based on a qualitative research method and the abductive approach is used. Empirical material has been collected from 18 articles and by 16 non-p

In this globalised world, the interest of the general public in scientific knowledge is ever increasing. Research institutions and especially the scientists are more and more in demand to communicate their research findings and inform the general public. Surveys, however, suggest that the scientists’ engagement is lacking, as only a small amount of is actually engaging. This study explores key fac

We tested different approaches to including the effect of binding-site water molecules for ligand-binding affinities within the MM/GBSA approach (molecular mechanics combined with generalised Born and surface-area solvation). As a test case, we studied the binding of nine phenol analogues to ferritin. The effect of water molecules mediating the interaction between the receptor and the ligand can b

Density functional theory calculations have been used to investigate the reaction mechanisms of phosphodiester hydrolysis and transesterification catalyzed by a dinuclear zinc complex of the 2-(N-isopropyl-N-((2-pyridyl)methyl)aminomethyl)-6-(N-(carboxylmethyl)-N-((2-pyridyl)methyl)amino-methyl)-4-methylphenol (IPCPMP) ligand, mimicking the active site of zinc phosphotriesterase. The substrates bi

Abstract The tick-borne bacterium 'Candidatus Neoehrlichia mikurensis' has recently been recognized as a human pathogen in Europe and appears to be the second most common pathogenic bacterium in Ixodes ricinus ticks in central Europe, second to Borrelia afzelii. Here, we investigate the prevalence of 'Candidatus N. mikurensis' in host-seeking ticks in southern Sweden and the rate of co-infection w

Simultaneous small-angle and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS and WAXS) were used to measure several properties of the nanoparticles and soot being produced and undergoing condensation and phase changes below a stabilizing cooling plate inserted in an ethylene diffusion flame. From the SAXS data several distinct size modes appeared showing interdependent changes in the size, shape/morphology, and

Lymphatic vessels (LVs) play critical roles in the maintenance of fluid homeostasis and in pathological conditions, including cancer metastasis. Although mutations in ALK1, a member of the transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta/bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) receptor family, have been linked to hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, a human vascular disease, the roles of activin receptor-like kin

Three thousand seven hundred disarticulated remains together with several articulated specimens of the Cambrian Series 2 ptychopariid trilobite Strenuaeva inflata Ahlberg and Bergstrom, 1978 have been collected from the Tornetrask area, northern Sweden. The material provides significant new data on the morphology, ontogeny, moulting and enrolment of the species. Two distinct morphotypes, possibly
