Studien har fokuserat på hur maktutövning på sociala medier tar sig uttryck i relationsskapande aktiviteter och konversationer mellan IKEA och dess konsumenter. Avstampet har skett ur ett socialkonstruktionistiskt perspektiv där hermeneutiken varit rådande för analysen. En kvalitativ innehållsanalys har gjorts på IKEA:s Facebook-sida där deras och konsumenternas inlägg med kommentarer studerats geAbstract This study focused on how power exercise manifests itself on social media between IKEA and consumers, when it comes to relationship-building and conversations. Taking off from social constructivism with hermenuetics being part of the analysis, a qualitative content analysis was executed on a total of 358 posts with comments. Of these, IKEA had published 28 of them while consumers publishe

This study explores the possibility of detecting otherwise overlooked important innovations by analysis of journalistic texts through naïve text mining techniques. The over 1,000 articles serving as the source data come from the SWINNO, a database constructed through the Literature Based Innovation Output method, where they serve as sources for information on innovations. The contents of the texts

In contrast to prior studies focusing on extraordinary retail environments such as impressive and outstanding retail spaces and themed environments, the present study examines ordinary retail stores, but with highly technological servicescapes. More specifically, retailers offering mobile applications as a part of the servicescape and its influence on customers’ motivations and experiences. The

Linearity and high efficiency are crucial requirements for any power amplifier. However, power amplifiers have high efficiency levels when they are in non-linear regions. To overcome this issue there have been many suggestions in literature, one of the most successful methods is digital predistortion method. Digital predistortion (DPD) method’s low resource usage and fairly easy algorithm dr

This single and holistic case study was conducted with a qualitative approach. Our findings show that the change to agile project management is perceived positively by employees. Further the research concludes that the key enablers of cultural change to adopt agile methods are engaging leadership and communication which support the change process. Overall, the study concludes, that agile project m

In the past decade the term Green Chemistry has steered the direction of chemical indus- try and research. Green Chemistry is the idea of reducing environmental impacts of chemical reactions by lowering the energy consumption and reducing the amount of by-products. Nearly all industrial chemical processes use a catalyst in order to make their reaction more effecient. This study examines two differ

I denna studie kommer vi att undersöka hur en ideell organisation, genom sin digitala kommunikation på Facebook, konstruerar bilden av kvinnan samt hur detta ramar in en lösning på problemet om kvinnors frigörelse. Då ett flertal ideella organisationer har en uttalad ambition att främja jämställdhet mellan könen, är denna studie menad att undersöka huruvida deras kommunikation stämmer överens med The purpose of this study is to examine how one non-governmental organisation (NGO) through its digital communication on Facebook constructs the image of women, and how it frames problems and solutions associated to women’s liberation. Since an increased number of NGOs have now an outspoken ambition concerning gender equality, this study intends to determine and discover whether their communicatio

Med utgångspunkt i att jag själv är dykinstruktör och relaterar många pedagogiska teorier till dykundervisning så har jag valt att undersöka hur instruktörer inom dykorganisationen Global Underwater Explorers uppfattar sin pedagogiska roll. Jag har genomför kvalitativa intervjuer med nio instruktörer och har genomfört en fenomenologisk analys av det empiriska materialet för att hitta kärnan av hur

Satellites are key components in today's modern world, but they are expensive to launch and the orbits are crowded. With use of a dual band circular polarization selective structure (CPSS) the satellites can be improved and the number of reflectors needed to carry out a certain task can be reduced. A dual band CPSS reflects one handedness of circular polarization and transmits the other, over

Testing and validation of fingerprint sensors with human labor is time consuming, costly and lacks the speed, accuracy and repeatability required for sufficient results. The thesis investigates the possibility of an automated solution using an industrial robot with force feedback control. Several force feedback controllers are implemented and evaluated. The best controller is implemented together

Många företag använder ett kundhanteringssystem för att registrera interaktioner med sina kunder. I en allt mer mobil värld vill användarna av dessa system kunna använda systemen var de än befinner sig men oförändrad prestanda och funktionalitet.Working distributed is increasingly important today with technology being more and more portable while connectivity is still lacking in some areas. Cellphones and laptops are increasingly in use outside the office with connectivity to internal office services being unreliable, either due to lacking speed or inability to have a connection. Different solutions exist. One is a client-server setup wh

Today's network cameras are constantly evolving, giving us higher resolution and higher quality video streams which demands higher capacity data links. In Pan, Tilt, Zoom (rotating) cameras the Slip Ring acts as the single communication link between the stationary and rotating parts of the camera and at the same time enables unrestricted rotation. It is therefore a key component within the cam

In this essay, I use discourse theory on three versions of the Swedish abortion law: the current law from 2016, the law from 1974 and a bill from an abortion committee added in 1965. I also do a thematic content analysis on a parliamentary bill from 1974 discussing the need for and the purpose of a more permissive law. The history of the Swedish abortion law is diverse. In 1938, the law stated tha

Europeiska fotbollsklubbar har i allt högre grad kommit att anpassa sig efter den globala tevemarknaden och de potentiella nya supportrar den för med sig snarare än sina lokala supportrar. Mot den bakgrunden har ett visst samhällsvetenskapligt intresse börjat hysas för så kallade satelitsupportrar; det vill säga supportrar på distans som huvudsakligen konsumerar sitt lag via teve och andra medier.

In this study, I demonstrate that identity-building is an important discursive strategy for President Barack Obama in the seven-year long debate surrounding the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The data for the study comes from a 6-million word corpus of speeches that were held by Obama between January 2009 and January 2016, all published by the White House. The speeches are classified according to genr

In trying to find a project from my bachelor’s degree, I looked back at my previous 3 years studying design. I wanted to give myself a challenge and decided to take this opportunity to work on some of my problem areas. My personal style have always been minimalistic but not explored enough as my projects often becomes conceptual with less focus on the aesthetics of the finished product and more on
