The aim of this study is to contribute to the existing literature on co-creation in investigating consumers’ motives for participation on the one hand and possible effects of this participation on brand knowledge on the other. It thus provides a link between co-creation, motivation, and branding literature. A constructionist ontological stance and interpretive epistemology led us to the research p
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka effektiviteten av GDPR som ett verktyg för att skydda arbetstagare från negativa konsekvenser som kan uppstå i samband med algoritmisk arbetsledning. Algoritmisk arbetsledning är ett allmänt förekommande fenomen speciellt i plattformsekonomin, som avser användningen av automatiserade medel för att styra arbetstagare i utförandet av det dagliga arbetet. AutThe purpose of this thesis is to examine the effectiveness of the GDPR as a tool for protection for algorithmically managed workers in light of the standard of protection offered for working conditions in the EU. Algorithmic management refers to the use of automated means to direct, sanction and evaluate workers without human involvement, and it is an especially prevalent phenomenon in the platfor
A search for the direct production of charginos and neutralinos in final states with three electrons or muons and missing transverse momentum is presented. The analysis is based on 4.7 fb(-1) of root s = 7 TeV proton-proton collision data delivered by the Large Hadron Collider and recorded with the ATLAS detector. Observations are consistent with Standard Model expectations in three signal regions
My thesis examines the discourse and social practices of the Swedish Armed Forces in Afghanistan. The discourse analysis is used both as a theory and method and takes inspiration from Focault, Laclau, Mouffe and Fairclogh. The view on social relations and gender is that they are constructed through social interaction. The purpose is to describe and illuminate discourses and social practices which
Anonymous forms of non-art photography have received a great deal of attention in recent years. Museum exhibitions and published compilations of what is commonly referred to as ‘vernacular photography’ have appeared regularly since the late 1990s. An interest in photographs produced by anonymous amateurs is further reflected in the growing popularity of collecting snapshots that have been lost or
The thesis aims at supplementing a critique of the existing international instruments, regional responses and national legislation of the Arctic related to marine environmental protection. With this aim in view, the thesis satisfies its objective by proposing a Bipartite “Arctic Council” acting as a conglomeration of the Arctic States and the Flag States with a hybrid “Arctic treaty”, which is an
This chapter analyses the European Union’s efforts to counteract the erosion of member states’ corporate tax bases. The author first describes how multinational enterprises, like Apple, have been able to exploit differences between the tax systems in order to pay less taxes. The author then presents the hypothesis that EU member states have managed to defend their interests in protecting their own
This article investigates the impact of economic policy uncertainty on the British interwar economy. The first type of evidence examined is qualitative. The historical record shows that contemporaries regularly reported the incidence and consequences of major uncertainty shocks. The second type of evidence analysed is quantitative. Based on a new index of economic policy uncertainty constructed fr
We report a simplified, integrated and more efficient way of preparing DNA for analysis. We have developed a microfluidic platform that can purify DNA and subsequently label and stretch it on a surface. We have successfully extracted DNA from a gel-filled microfluidic channel using electrophoresis and subsequently stretched the DNA linearly by absorption to either a hydrophobic or a positively-cha
In a world where overlapping crises feel less like exceptions andmore like the new normal, the question of how to promoteresilience becomes central. ‘Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Resi-lience and the Welfare State’ examines how welfare state policiescan be adapted to provide sustainable support in times of ‚per-macrisis‘. With contributions from the fields of law, economics,political science,
Repair and replacement strategies using cell replacement or viral gene transfer for neurologic diseases are becoming increasingly efficacious with clinically meaningful benefits in several conditions. An increased understanding of disease processes opens up opportunities for genetic therapies and precision medicine methods aiming at disease modification or repair of lesioned neurologic structures.
Wave climate data for the Swedish provinces Skane and Halland, were hindcast using SWAN, a third-generation spectral wave model. The 40-year wave dataset, from 1979 to 2019, is made available through an open-access data portal (https://gis.sgi.se/vagmodell/). The wave data has a three-hour resolution and includes significant wave height, peak wave period, and wave direction. The wave model domain
This paper investigates the apparent near-optionality of the perfect auxiliary ha (‘have’) in Swedish. Restrictions on the near-optionality of ha-omission are typically recognized in the previous literature as lexical or structural. The paper scrutinizes the viability of these restrictions by means of corpus data. Most of these restrictions are shown not to hold. Instead, the paper defends the vie
Bridges are an important part of the traffic infrastructure, which are subjected to high safety requirements and economic consequences in case of functionality failure. Therefore, it is needed to consider potentially substantial direct and indirect risks during service life, i.e., the need for risk and robustness analyses. Over the last decades, various quantitative performance criteria have been
In 1628, the Swedish Royal warship Vasa capsized on her maiden voyage. She was salvaged in 1961 and became the first major object to be treated with polyethyleneglycol, PEG. The extensive conservation treatment lasted for almost 30 years. Today a new problem has risen as sulphuric acid is formed in the wood, causing acid hydrolysis of the cellulose.
