In today’s world of uncertainties, video surveillance is widely used to make the people of our society feel safe and protected. As more cameras are installed, the time of installation and ease of use play a critical role when customers decide which camera solution to select. One way to limit the number of cameras needed to cover multiple directions and large areas is to install a multidirectional
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore how consumers perceive brand-centric entertainment films, as well as how these films influence associations with the brands featured within them. Specifically, the study seeks to identify if and how these films shape or reshape brand meaning from a consumer perspective. Methodology: The study takes a qualitative approach and employs a research desi
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of highly persistent synthetic chemicals that have raised growing concern due to their widespread presence in the environment and potential health effects. This study focuses on Lake Bolmen, one of southern Sweden’s most important sources of drinking water, and investigates how PFAS enter and accumulate in the lake. A total of 23 PFAS compound
In this work we demonstrate a two-fold selectivity control of InAs shells grown on crystal phase and morphology engineered GaAs nanowire (NW) core templates. This selectivity occurs driven by differences in surface energies of the NW core facets. The occurrence of the different facets itself is controlled by either forming different crystal phases or additional tuning of the core NW morphology. Fi
Denna studie ämnar undersöka utmaningarna med att bedriva CSR i ett modernt samhälle. Den undersöker hur företags image påverkas när CSR-aktiviteter och CSR-ansvar är uppdelat mellan olika parter. En kvalitativ studie har gjorts om företaget Big Heart där semi-strukturerade intervjuer har använts som metod för att uppnå en djupare förståelse av fenomenet. I intervjuerna har perspektiv från alla paThis study examines the challenges of managing CSR in modern society. It explores how the image of companies is affected in an ethical sense, when CSR activities and CSR-responsibility are divided among a variety of different parties. Through a qualitative study of the company Big Heart, semi-structured interviews was made, including interviews from all parties in order to gain a deeper understand
Haematopoietic stem cells are the source of all blood components including T-cells. When the T-cell programme is initiated in these cells, the expression of T-cell associated genes such as TCF7 is up-regulated, while genes opposing this fate are turned off. Subsequently, epigenetic marks on the gene BCL11B and its regulatory elements, disabling the expression of the gene, are removed and the trans
The specific shear viscosity, η/s, of the quark-gluon plasma formed in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions at RHIC and LHC is estimated based on the progressive longitudinal broadening of transverse momentum two-particle correlators, G2, reported as a function of collision centrality by the STAR and ALICE experiments. Estimates are computed as a function of collision centrality using the Gavin
This paper investigates how verbal affixes that encode manner information (manner affixes) interact with verbs of different lexical aspect classes and transitivity values in West Greenlandic (Inuit–Yupik–Unangan: Greenland). Manner affixes remain an understudied and poorly understood grammatical category. The data presented and discussed here is primarily based on original fieldwork conducted in C
In a murine model of platelet alloimmunization, we examined the definitive role that mononuclear cells (MC) have in modulating platelet immunity by using platelets from severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice. CB.17 (H-2(d)) SCID or BALB/c (H-2(d)) mouse platelets were transfused weekly into fully allogeneic CBA (H-2(k)) mice and antidonor antibodies measured by flow cytometry. MC levels in BA
I kölvattnet till coronaviruspandemin har vaccinfrågan aktualiserats och hamnat högt på den mediala dagordningen. Det vetenskapliga paradigmet att vaccin är nyttigt och nödvändigt för folkhälsan blir idag utmanat av så kallade vaccinmotståndare. SVT Dokument inifråns dokumentärfilm Vaccinkrigarna gör anspråk på att korrekt skildra dessa vaccinmotståndare. Frågans polariserade karaktär väcker dock
This study examined how staff at residential care homes (HVB) in Sweden work to strengthen clients' independence in preparation for life after institutional care, as well as the significance of the relationship between staff and client. Young people leaving residential care are a vulnerable group due to the absence of a secure social network and insufficient treatment for past behavioural issu
Decision-support systems based on artificial intelligence (AI) are increasingly implemented in everyday societal contexts, including high-stakes domains such as finance, medicine, and law. While these systems play an expanding role in shaping important decisions under uncertainty, a fundamental question concerns how algorithmic advice affects the behavior of human decision-makers. Despite this, mo
The Lipset Hypothesis är Seymour Martin Lipsets teori om demokratiseringar, grundad i demokratins korrelation med de fyra variablerna industrialisering, urbanisering, utbildning, och välstånd. Denna undersökning vill pröva teorin mot de två fallen Sverige och Tunisien, vilka genomgick demokratiseringar med 100 år dem emellan. På grund av fallens stora skillnader både som länder och i demokratiseri
Ambitionen är att förstå hur det praktiska förhållningssättet till korruption inom kommuner kan se ut; och hur detta kan tänkas påverka hur riskerna för att tjänstemän skall agera felaktigt. Utifrån detta används därför de olika indikationer som tidigare forskning resulterat i och jämförs med vad som framkommer utifrån de intervjuades utlåtanden. För att kunna bilda denna förståelse används en ana
Ensembles of binary random LDPC block codes constructed using Hamming codes as constituent codes are studied for communicating over the binary symmetric channel. These ensembles are known to contain codes that asymptotically almost meet the Gilbert-Varshamov bound. It is shown that in these ensembles there exist codes which can correct a number of errors that grows linearly with the code length, w
This paper deals with approximate solutions to integral equations arising in boundary value problems for the biharmonic equation in simply connected piecewise smooth domains. The approximation method considered demonstrates excellent convergence even in the case of boundary conditions discontinuous at corner points. In an application we obtain very accurate approximations for some characteristics
