Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop an understanding of consumers' perception of heritage in luxury brands online. This will be investigated from a consumer perceived value perspective, with regard to the following aspects of value; social, economic, functional and affective. Methodology: An epistemological and ontological foundation guides the research approach of qualitative so

This research focuses on the contemporary case study of the Thawra Chronicles, founded by three London-based members of the Lebanese diaspora in the wake of the Lebanese Revolution in early October 2019 to support the social movement from afar, targeting non-Lebanese individuals as well as Lebanese within and beyond its borders. Thawra Chronicles is a multifaceted, independent alternative online o

Ett av Sveriges hållbarhetsmål är att senast 2045 inte generera några nettoutsläpp av växthusgaser. För att uppnå detta mål krävs kraftiga åtgärder inom alla sektorer. En av dessa är bygg- och fastighetssektorn som 2018 stod för ca 22 % av Sveriges territoriella utsläpp av växthusgaser. Enbart cementindustrin står för ca 5–7 %. Cirka hälften av klimatpåverkan från moderna flerbostadshus uppkommer One of the main sustainability goals in Sweden is to reduce the nations greenhouse gas emissions to a net-zero level by 2045. This is a national implementation of the Paris- Agreement. To achieve this goal measures need to be taken in all industrial sectors. The construction and real-estate sectors are responsible for about 22 % of Sweden’s yearly territorial greenhouse gas emissions. The cement i

While calls to reduce air travel have emerged in many high-income countries, Nepal, with only one international airport, is still striving to improve its air connectivity. In 2015, the government resumed its 1995 plan to build a second international airport near Nijgadh, a town in the southern plains. The project has since come under scrutiny from conservationists after plans emerged for extensive

This thesis investigates whether freely available, coarse-resolution, Passive Microwave Remote Sensing (PMRS) data (37 GHz) can be effectively used for early warning systems for floods in Malawi. The Shire River Basin in Chikwawa and the smaller-scale North Rukuru River Basin in Karonga were studied using two alternative, ratio-based satellite indices that make use of the signal difference between

DNA transposons are a class of mobile genetic elements that can autonomously move from one genomic location to another. They are powerful drivers of genetic change and have played a significant role in the evolution of many genomes. One such transposable element, IS608 from Helicobacter pylori employs a unique mechanism of transposition as it transposes in a single-stranded DNA form and inserts sp

The industrialization of the Swedish construction industry has long stood in the shadow of the traditional construction methods. Problems such as high costs, long construction times and tough regulations have made the development stagnate. However, the industrial manufacturing industry has shown rapid growth within recent years. The culture within the industry has changed through innovative constr

Defective logic on Furutorpsgatan - An identification of present problems and proposed measures Helsingborg City is in the progress to make new maintenance measures on Furutorpsgatan. In relation to that, improvements to the streetscape, is also planned. Therefore a description on which problems that occurs with the current design of Furutorpsgatan, and possible measures to improve the situation h

In today’s railway facilities there are several types of track systems with different characteristics, which must interconnect in order to obtain a closed network. The area where a track system passes over into another track system is called a transition zone. The track systems’ different characteristics chiefly consist of differences in settlement tendency and track stiffness. The transition zone

Background: Carry Life UF is a novel peritoneal dialysis (PD) technology for improved fluid management using steady concentration PD (SCPD). The Carry Life UF treatment starts with a manual peritoneal fill of 1.36% glucose PD fluid, followed by a 5-hour treatment where small amounts of glucose are continuously added to maintain a stable intraperitoneal glucose concentration. A recent in-center cli

Bakgrund: Den kurativa behandlingen för resektabla lokalt avancerade stadier av cancer i munhålan innefattar i regel en kombination av kirurgi och radioterapi (RT). Huruvida RT bör ges först och därefter följas av kirurgi, eller om tumören bör opereras bort först, följt av RT postoperativt, har dock inte studerats i någon större omfattning.Syfte: Denna avhandling undersöker olika aspekter av pre- Background: The curatively intended treatment for resectable locally advanced stages of oral cavity cancer (OCC) generally involves a combination of surgery and radiotherapy (RT). However, whether to apply RT first and then proceed with surgery, or to resect the cancer and subsequently administer RT, has not been extensively studied. Aims: This thesis examines various aspects of pre- versus postop

Fine-grained windblown deposits, known as loess, in which fossil soils (palaeosols) are preserved, serve as excellent records of past climate. However, paleoclimate reconstruction studies on loess-palaeosol sequences (LPS) in Southeastern Europe have primarily focused on climate changes during the last one or two glacial-interglacial cycles. Surprisingly, little attention has been given to the cli

In 1997 Tetra Brik Packaging Systems (TBPS) introduced the Prisma family into the portfolio. The family, which contains four volumes: X ml, 330 ml, 1000 ml and 2000 ml, is characterised by having eight panels at mid height. The new shape of the packages has forced TBPS to make modifications in the equipment and alterations in the distribution chain, from producers to consumers. This master's

The report, designed for interested parties of the industrial food industry in France, is founded on three research questions inspired by literature studies of sustainable development, management of corporate social responsibility, industrial food production and food product quality. The research questions search for the identification and explanation of critical categories of concern relevant for

When building new constructions under ground level in cities it is important that the foundations of neighboring buildings are undisturbed. The regulations regarding soil deformations are hence very strict and conventional methods of predicting soil behavior is often too crude. Finite element calculations are therefore becoming an increasingly important tool used to predict soil behavior in and ar

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Särö Västerskog och Särö Nordanskog i norra Halland utgör de mest värdefulla och artrikaste skogsbestånden längs hela västkusten. De är klassade som riksintresse för naturvården. Den biologiska mångfalden är mycket stor och i skogarna förekommer många sällsynta och rödlistade arter. Som exempel kan nämnas den sällsynta idegranen (Taxus baccata). Särö täcks av reThe aim of this study was to make a pollenanalytical investigation of mor humus-profiles from the peninsula of Särö in northern Halland. The coastal forests are well preserved in this area and often hold a very interesting flora and fauna with many red-listed species. One can for example mention the rare species yew (Taxus baccata). The forests contain a mixture of deciduous and coniferous trees l

The archival sector of today is geared towards the public more than ever before. Students are now expected to actively participate in a process of life-long learning, to be more conscious about their cultural heritage and to develop an awareness of history. They shall also be able to evaluate different kinds of sources and approach source material critically. The Anglo-Saxon archives are internati

Metan (CH₄) är en av de viktigaste växthusgaserna i atmosfären och dess kraftiga ökning har bidragit till den uppvärmning som vi har upplevt fram till idag. Sedan mitten av 1980-talet påvisar mätningar att metantillväxten i atmosfären har börjat fluktuera från år till år. Orsakerna till detta är omstridda och ännu inte klargjorda. Under 2007 uppmättes en kraftig ökning i tillväxt som vaThe increasing atmospheric concentration of the greenhouse gas methane (CH₄) is highly relevant for current and future global warming. Since the mid-1980s atmospheric measurements have revealed large interannual fluctuations in methane growth rate. However, the causes of this feature are still not well understood. In 2007, a peak in growth rate appears to have been particularly strong a
