Purpose: This study aims to investigate how start-ups use entrepreneurial marketing to attract as well as retain customers and compete against large companies in the food industry under the assumption that large corporations are adapting entrepreneurial marketing approaches. Methodology: The inductive qualitative study is based on eight semi-structured interviews with active founders which provid
The aim of this thesis is to investigate what potential role eschatological anthropology played in the writings of the monk-bishop Diadochus of Photice (c. 400–c. 486) in order to ease some of the historical tension between the ecclesiastical tradition and the monastic tradition. To explore this topic, the writings attributed to Diadochus of Photice (the Century of Gnostic Chapters, the Homily on
This thesis examines Ismaʿili individuals’ “lived religion” through personal views on religious values combined with daily practices in German society. Since a Eurocentric view on Islam often fails to recognize the complexities of Muslim communities while emphasizing the Muslim faith as incompatible with “modernity”, the current study of the Ismaʿili branch serves as an example of Muslim practices
The war on drugs has failed. The 'world drug problem' is bigger than ever. The repressive law-enforcement policies are counterproductive. What now? A new approach is needed, one that accepts the fact that drugs cannot be eliminated from society, but focuses on the harm that it causes, so says science. But is the world ready to adopt this new approach? It does not seem to be the case. This
Confronting ecological crises is leading many researchers and academics to take a renewed interest in the deep past. The archaeological and climatic record are posed as a source of lessons that can be brought to bear on current issues of sustainability. IHOPE, or Integrated History and Future of People on Earth, presents one such effort, a collaborative and inter-disciplinary project with aims to
Staters immunitet i fall som rör grova kränkningar av mänskliga rättigheter har blivit flitigt omdiskuterad i den folkrättsliga debatten, och har gett upphov till motstridiga domar bland olika nationella domstolar. Medan grova kränkningar av mänskliga rättigheter utgör brott mot tvingande folkrättsliga regler, jus cogens, från vilka inga avsteg är tillåtna, så utgör reglerna om statsimmunitet ett The jurisdictional immunity of states in cases concerning serious human rights violations has been extensively discussed in the international legal debate, and has given rise to conflicting judicial decisions by courts of various jurisdictions. While serious human rights violations constitute breaches of peremptory norms, jus cogens, from which no derogation is permitted, the law of state immunity
Despite achieving sustained growth for the past two decades, Indonesia is still regarded as a moderately high-inequality country. One of the most plausible explanations in the changing pattern of its structural transformation, which could be caused as a result of increasing global integration in Indonesia. Therefore, using panel data regression, this study aims to investigate the impact of trade o
Neuroblastoma is pediatric cancer of the sympathetic nervous system which originates from the trunk neural crest cell population during embryonic development. Clinical representation of neuroblastoma ranges from a spontaneous regression to metastatic disease with only about 50% survival rate. Molecular events which turn normal development of sympathetic nervous system to tumorigenic has not been f
The employment effects of expansionary fiscal policy have been well documented in the literature. Interestingly, however, limited attention has been paid to the gender dimension. Across countries, significant gaps in female and male employment still remain. This, together with the risk of hysteresis, makes it central to examine how expansionary fiscal policies affect female and male employment and
In the creation of the Swedish Torts Act of 1972, questions of autonomy were raised and discussed in a number of different ways. Its treatment here and in the writing of several important legal scholars in the period between the 1864 Penal Law and the new Torts Act offers several valuable insights into the problem of autonomy and tort law today, not least concerning robotics and AI. This essay ar
I den här uppsatsen undersöks aktivisternas och volontärernas situation i deras arbete med flyktingarna under flyktingkrisen 2015 i Sverige. Genom att använda etnografiska metoder, i synnerhet kvalitativa intervjuer med individer engagerade i att hjälpa flyktingarna, argumenterar jag för att olika aktivistgrupper, trots att de har samma mål, uppvisar ett konkurrerande beteende. Genom en intersektiThis thesis investigates the situation of the activists and volunteers working with refugees in the context of the 2015 refugee crisis in Sweden. By employing ethnographic methods, especially qualitative interviews with the individuals engaged in helping the refugees, I argue that different activist groups having the same aim are exhibiting a competitive behavior. I illustrate that the role of ac
With many people not really understanding what the European Union is and how it works the EU is left to fight a lack of interest, identification and participation. The present thesis approaches the problem by looking at the linguistic and rhetorical device of metaphors as a popular means of creating understanding by explaining a complex topic in a transferred way. Numerous metaphors exist in EU di
This study aims to analyse how the Swedish media has been framing the Gállok case and the events surrounding it. Moreover, it seeks to understand which meaning is attributed to the concept of Sámi customary law within the Gállok process and decision-makings. This is done through Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis. They study is based on a theoretical framework that has its starting point in
The old caravan trade routes across the Sahara Desert largely fell out of use decades before the beginning of the 20th century. The route from Kano to Tripoli however remained active and continued to transport a significant volume of exports and regional trade well into the 20th century. This thesis investigates the resilience and downfall of this trade route against a backdrop of the European ‘Sc
Regulatory competition is a competitive process through which the jurisdictionss within a decentralized area develops and adapts to the market demands of that area. EU’s Single market is such decentralized area in the field of company legislation. Any EU citizen may establish a company in any Member State and as a consequence a race between the different national jurisdictions in the EU can emerge
Over the last century, large-scale water megaprojects have become a globally widespread method of addressing water scarcity by moving water from areas of water surplus to deficit. The U.S. state of California is a megaproject pioneer, having constructed two infrastructural systems in the mid-1900s that transfer water as far as 640 kilometers to satisfy agricultural and urban growth. While these pr
In today’s digital age, maintaining privacy is challenging as individuals often disclose personal information unwillingly. This discrepancy, known as the 'privacy paradox,' highlights the gap between privacy concerns and actual data-sharing behavior (Alashoor et al., 2022). Despite extensive research, there is limited understanding of how hedonistic and utilitarian motivations influence co
The current work aims to investigate the impact of angular momentum in galaxy formation especially in the coevolution of the stellar central density (Σ⋆,1.2kpc) and total stellar mass (M⋆). This is achieved by tracing the histories of three simulated halos where the specific angular momentum is altered by modifying the initial conditions of the Lagrangian patch of baryons. The analysis consists of
