There are two interpretations of rhetoric that are backed by a long tradition: as the theory of argumentation and persuasion, which is how it was born in Antiquity, and as the taxonomy of rhetorical figures, which is the form in which it reigned supreme from the 16th century onwards. In both of these senses, advertising discourse today is the favoured, and in fact almost exclusive, domain of rheto
Pollinators are essential for biodiversity and ecosystem services but face growing threats from climate change. Microclimates may buffer these impacts by providing localized climatic refugia. I assessed community-level and body size-dependent responses of bees, butterflies, and hoverflies to microclimatic temperature, humidity, wind, and structural shelter in semi-natural grasslands in southern Sw
Uganda faces various challenges related to compliance, including tax evasion, regulatory non- compliance, and violations of legal standards, laws, policies and regulations among others. These issues undermine the government's ability to collect revenue, provide public services, and maintain law and order. Enhancing compliance is not only a matter of enforcing penalties but also involves creati
Non-technical summary. As glaciers shrink and disappear, the benefits they provide to people may also be fading. This makes it more important than ever to look closely at how melting glaciers affect both the environment and the communities that depend on them. To truly understand what is being lost- or even gained- we need to study glaciers from many angles. This includes looking at the science of

The purpose of the study was to gain an increased knowledge and understanding of women's pathways into prostitution and the experiences and feelings that coexist with being in this life situation. To find relevant empirical data for what we intended to investigate, we used our questions as guidance when we searched for autobiographical works depicting the life stories of prostituted women. We
The aim of this qualitative study was to explore the factors of authority and of power and how these factors effect the relationship between social workers and their clients from the social workers point of view.

During this period, Sweden received approximately 156 400 refugees, putting Sweden’s social infrastructure under enormous pressure. As a result of the stressful working conditions, a large amount of social workers
In recent years, business plan competitions have become a popular tool for entrepreneurs to obtain assistance in their desire to start a company. Despite this support service, the start-up failure rate remains high. Therefore, this paper aims to increase the understanding of how business plan competitions impact new venture development. Based on prevalent theories of entrepreneurship, venture life
3D reconstruction is a field in computer vision which has evolved rapidly as a result of the recent advancements in deep learning. As 3D reconstruction pipelines now can run in real-time, this has opened up new possibilities for teams developing Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), which rely on the camera system of the vehicle to enhance the safety and driving experience. This thesis pres
This thesis examines the gendered dynamics of entrepreneurial pitching, focusing on the experiences of female founders in Germany. Despite the continued growth of female entrepreneurship, there are still significant challenges, particularly in relation to fundraising. Therefore, this thesis focuses on pitching situations as a strategy to raise funding. A qualitative methodology is used, to explore
The spread of artificial light on Earth increases annually. One of many causes of this spread is due to increased street lighting and artificial light at night (ALAN). Lighting is one of the many necessities for people to feel safe. On the other hand, ALAN, which contributes to light pollution, negatively affects biological functions and thus biodiversity. The purpose of this study was to investig
This study explores the strategic implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the healthcare sector, focusing on minimizing resistance through effective stakeholder engagement. As AI increasingly influences decision-making in healthcare, resistance from key stakeholders such as employees and management presents a significant challenge. This research investigates the causes and reasons for va

However, studies have shown that coercive measures still occur within organizations bound by the law. The aim of this study was to examine the re

It is today commonplace that games and virtual worlds are not only multi-billion dollar businesses but also momentous socio-cultural phenomena that require critical attention. Massively Multiplayer On-line Games (MMOGs) are these days becoming recognized not only as grounds for play within ‘magic circles’ but also as complex and significant social spaces with 24-7 access to the millions of gamers
This thesis investigates the virtual meetings characteristics and policy intervention options in Chinese organizations. Virtual meetings can enable the communication of two or more parities in different locations with assistance of ICT technologies. It is thus possible for virtual meetings to substitute conventional physical face- o-face meetings without business travel and the associated environm
