Kända Varumärke - Större, Starkare, Säkrare

In todays high-technological society where the Internet plays a central role in our day-to-day life, many e-retailers are not able to attract customers to complete a transaction on their website. In order to succeed, many e-commerce sites must improve several safety aspects regarding online payment, in order to be perceived as a reliable and secured retailer. The purpose of this paper is to investigate if increment in various combinations and aspects in online payment will in fact improve the customer's perception of the e-retailer and result in completed transactions. In order to investigate this aspect, an experiment was conducted to be able to compare eight independent groups, that each had been exposed to a different security scenario on the online payment website of either a known or unknown retailer. Our results clearly prove that perceived security of the retailer's payment website increases willingness to purchase from the retailer.

Visuellt berättande i spelmiljöer

Abstrakt I den här uppsatsen undersöks hur ett narrativ kan drivas inom digitala spel enbart med hjälp av spelmiljön. Syftet är att få förståelse för vad miljöberättande behärskar som en självständig form av berättande och vad författarna kan göra för att uppnå detta mål. För att undersöka problemområdet genomfördes en spelproduktion där metoder framtagna under undersökningens gång applicerades. Produktionen testades av utomstående studenter i medieteknik och resultaten sammanställdes med reflektioner kring vad som uppnåtts och de metoder som applicerats. Undersökningen beskriver arbetsprocessen och metoder och visar hur dessa kan driva ett narrativ med en spelmiljö. Abstract In this thesis examines how to drive a narrative in digital games using only the game environment.

Lätt att få ? svårt att gå : Individens upplevelse av anställnings(o)trygghet kopplat till arbetsmarknadsmodellerna i Danmark och Sverige.

Den danska arbetsmarknadsmodellen flexicurity har blivit mycket omtalad och betraktas ofta i media som en optimal modell, där danskarna sägs vara tryggast i Europa i sin arbetssituation. Förespråkare av både den danska och den svenska modellen hävdar tryggheten som en viktig grund i de respektive arbetsmarknadsmodellerna. I det danska systemet ska tryggheten ligga i enkelheten att få nya jobb, till skillnad från i Sverige där tryggheten ska ligga i svårigheten för arbetsgivaren att avskeda personal. Utifrån denna bakgrund är syftet med uppsatsen att jämföra individens upplevelse av den arbetsrelaterade anställningstryggheten i Danmark och Sverige. Finns det skillnader i de faktorer som påverkar den upplevda anställningstryggheten och går dessa att koppla till respektive lands arbetsmarknadsmodell? För att genomföra studien skapades en enkät som delades ut till 30 respondenter i respektive land.

Can increased activity recorded with help of activity monitoring sensor indicate an upcoming calving?

The purpose of this study was to find out if motion movements, e.g. number of lying bouts and lying time with a registered activity monitoring sensor can detect an impending calving and thereby be used as a measure and an indicator for an upcoming calving. For this, automatically step sensors were used and were attached to one of the cows? hind leg. The sensor registered the individual step and movement activity of the cow.

Risker vid svensk företagsverksamhet i Estland

All companies face risk in their daily business. Internationalised companies tend to experience higher risk due to for example unfamiliar business environment than companies that act only on the national market. Estonia became independent as late as in 1991 and is therefore a new interesting market for many companies in neighbouring countries like Sweden. Risks that are most apparent for an internationalised company are political risk, currency risk, capital and interest rate risk, business risk and credit risk. Our intention of this study was to find out how Swedish companies acting on the Estonian market faced the different risks when entering the Estonian market and how they value the risks today.

Skänka pengar och må bra? Ett experiment om produktbaserad biståndsgivning och känslor av välbefinnande

Uppsatsens syfte att ta reda på om individer är mer benägna att skänka pengar om en privatbiståndsorganisation erbjuder produkter i en gåvoshop som sedan skickas till människor i ettredan på förhand bestämt område, jämfört med om organisationen erbjuder mer generellbiståndsgivning till organisationen i stort. Vidare är syftet att testa om det finns ett sambandmellan möjligheten att köpa produkter i en gåvoshop och känslor av välbefinnande hosbiståndsgivaren vid gåvotillfället. Slutligen är uppsatsens syfte att undersöka ombenägenheten att skänka pengar genom möjligheten att köpa produkter i en gåvoshop jämfört med att skänka pengar generellt till en organisation ser olika ut i olika grupper av medborgare.Studien utformas genom ett experiment som genomförs med hjälp av frivilliga påcentralstationen i Göteborg. Hypoteserna prövas genom ett independent sample t-test ochgenom en regressionsanalys med interaktionsvariabler. Resultatet visar att personer som ges möjlighet att köpa produkter inte blir mer benägna att skänka pengar och känner inget högre välbefinnande än personer som ges möjlighet att skänka pengar generellt till organisationen.Däremot verkar högutbildade personer påverkas i högre grad av möjligheten att köpa produkter och det finns ett signifikant samband när utbildning interageras med effekten av typav bistånd på benägenheten att skänka pengar..
