This research has been inspired by my interest in theater. I decided to explore the connection between the disciplines of media studies and anthropology of performance through the particular case study. The case is the Russian-Chinese pipeline construction through the sacred Ukok plateau in Altai. It threatens the environmental and cultural uniqueness of this area and small indigenous population o
This thesis will provide a formal analysis of Joshua Oppenheimer’s documentary The Act of Killing (2012), by analyzing the different stylistic techniques used in the reenactments such as the cinematography, editing, sound and mise-en-scène, and by analyzing the ways in which these documentary techniques affected the film and the people who committed the crimes. This research also reflects the way
Stor del av all den energi som används i världen skapas ur fossila bränslen, som är en av orsakerna till växthuseffekten. Byggnader använder ca 50 % av all producerad energi. För att minska på byggnaders energianvändning kommer EU och den svenska regeringen att skärpa kraven på byggnaders energiprestanda. Syftet är att med en fallstudie visa att det med relativt enkla medel går att minska energian
I denna uppsats undersöker jag Scanlons värdeteori, med fokus på hans syn på intrinsikalt värde, och då framför allt frågan huruvida människolivet kan sägas ha intrinsikalt värde. Genom att först grundligt presentera Scanlons värdeteori – hans hänskjutande redogörelse för värde (eng. Buck-Passing) - och sedan släppa fram kritiska röster, resonerar jag mig fram till en grund att stå på i denna värd
A memorable journey to the North – A study of the travel experiences of Chinese tourists in Scandinavia With the increasing number of outbound Chinese tourists, tourism bureaus in Scandinavia are now exploring ways in understanding Chinese tourists as well as to prepare themselves to be more “China-Ready”. The purpose of this thesis is to offer research demonstrating the importance of memory objec
The Philippines is an island nation in South East Asia consisting of more than 7 000 separate islands. The Philippines is the country in the world that is most often struck by tropical storm; every year between 6 and 9 typhoons hit land in the Philippines. In November 2013 the super typhoon Haiyan hit the nation, killing 10 000 people and causing massive destruction to parts of the infrastructure
The thesis introduces a range of communication protocols used to implementing smart homes currently available on the market. Two protocols are chosen and theoretically analysed in depth. The analysis both describes how the protocols works and describes the measures taken in order to protect it against attacks from third parties. The theoretical evaluation analyses how susceptible the protocols are
This thesis experiments with the data structure of a sparse voxel octree (SVO)to see if it may improve the performance of empty space ray marching in volumes. While ray marching is a somewhat new technique it is used more often in traversal of volumes. It can be used for realistic volumetric effects in computer games or it can be used in the medical field when examining and visualizing MRI scans.
Is there a discrepancy between what employees desire their managers to be and how they perceive their managers? And if so, does this discrepancy affect their organisational identification? To suggest answers to these questions, using a deductive quantitative approach, we asked employees to firstly, rate the traits they perceived their current managers to have and the traits they desired in their m
As a result of climate change the county of Stockholm will experience a change in precipitation patterns, more extreme weather events and a rise in sea level. To learn if the financial sector works with climate change adaptation and if climate change adaptation can be used as a management control measure, a study has been conducted in complement to this thesis. Three subsectors, the insurance sect
The study deals with the emerging concept of sharing economy using the development of carpooling as example. It is based on the multi-level perspective framework, developed by Frank Geels, which is designed to explain and analyze processes of novel technology development. The present paper analyzes the new institution, carpooling, through the lens of this framework in order to understand its poten
Landskapsformen drumlin har länge diskuterats inom akademin och den här studen syftar till att sprida lite ljus över dom. Genom att kartlägga två drumlinområden runt sjön Åsnen i Småland, södra Sverige har deras utsträckning kartlagts med en precision som länge ansetts omöjligt. Detta gjordes genom att använda hög upplösta hillshade modeller framtagna från LiDAR data för att efter att ha analyseraThe landform group called drumlins has since long been enigmatic; this study aims to shed some light on them. By mapping their extent in two areas around Lake Åsnen, Småland, southern Sweden, their extent and prop-erties have been mapped with a level of detail that would have been next to impossible just a few years ago. The method used in this study utilized LiDAR derived high resolution hillshad
Even though standards have beneficial effects in the network-dependent information and communication technologies industry, they also bring along competition law concerns, especially since they are based on patent-protected technologies. In those circumstances, owners of standard essential patents (“SEPs”) in fact control access to the market. Competition authorities have thus turned their attenti
Ultrasound-modulated optical tomography (UOT) is a proposed diagnostic technique with potential as a means of discovering cancerous tumours. The technique combines ultrasound and laser radiation to probe tissue in a non-invasive, harmless way. An important aspect in UOT is the ability to distinguish the probing light from background scattered light generated by the technique, which limits its reso
The resources of our earth are limited and need to be managed sustainably. Managing waste is thus a global issue which makes recycling of waste an important part of sustainable resource management. Sweden has come a long way in source separation of waste compared to many other European countries, with recycling techniques and equipment for source separation, in use. However, most studies look at h
The purpose of the following study was to examine professionals’ thoughts of the possible causes regarding suicide among children and young adults in Sweden. The study also includes prevention. Additionally, the study also focuses on the possible causes of suicides among the more overrepresented group boys and young men. The data was collected through six semi-structured interviews with profession
Word of mouth can be a key growth driver and there is a need for more research on what marketers can do to generate more word of mouth. In particular, nonprofit organizations, that do not have the funds to advertise and rely on traditional media to get attention, could benefit from a better understanding of word-of-mouth marketing. The purpose of this thesis is to identify which factors non
Background: An increased concern of environmental issues have made companies, including Haldex, look for new engineering and design practices to keep up with legislations and stakeholder pressure, often by analyzing products’ total environmental impact over their life cycles, in so called life cycle assessment studies. The Haldex Project Management Model is a company specific project model where H
Problem definition: The increasingly informed customer will lead to an even greater demand for expertise and knowledge of marketers. Firms need to find new ways to utilize the informed customer as a co-creator of value by more proficiently analyzing behavior, both online and offline. An uncertainty lies in to which extent the operational standards of KIBS firms translate to their marketing and sal
Background The business environment is constantly changing, and the way companies do business is continuously changing, which is highly apparent in the automotive industry. Adaption is a fact for firms who want to stay in the game, but what will give a company a competitive advantage in this mess of constant changes? The above-mentioned are pointing towards a new era; the age of the customer. In t
