Denna studie utgörs av ett explorativt experiment. Det som har legat i fokus för denna studie har varit att mäta attityd gentemot varumärkes produkter. Eftersom det har skett genom experiment har det centrala varit att se hur attityden påverkas. Studien använder sig av vissa teorier kring varumärken som råd och tips i upplägget av experimentet. En av hypoteserna som ställdes i studien var att positiv beskrivning av varumärkes produkter ger högre utfall i värderandet och viljan att äga produkten än neutral beskrivning.

I denna uppsats undersökte vi, inom ämnet sinnesmarknadsföring, dofters inverkan på produktuppfattning. Sinnesmarknadsföring har som mål att skapa en positiv och lojal relation mellan varumärket och kunden med hjälp av sinnena. Syftet med vår uppsats var att utifrån befintlig forskning samt ett egenutformat experiment, undersöka dofters inverkan på produktuppfattning och därmed potential som marknadsföringsmedel. Vi ville dels undersöka detta samband för dofter generellt, och dels för dofter som dessutom är produktrelaterade. Vi ville även lyfta fram eventuella svårigheter med att genomföra experiment inom detta område, baserat på vår egen undersökning.

The organic farmland is increasing all the time and the goal is that 15 % of the Swedish farmland will be in organic production in year 2010. The organic production needs new and more effective ways to control weeds, and there is the row harrowing coming as a good complement to the conventional weed harrowing. In this experiment is weed harrowing whit different row spaces and row harrowing with a spacing of 25 cm compared. Then are the weed picked and the weight taken of them. The yield is compared in the 7 different ways of treatment. The results is not showing any significant differences in yield even when the row spacing is 25 cm instead of 12,5 cm. Even the spring wheat that is a sensitive crop and has bad tillering is doing well in this experiment. Now with modern technology where the row harrow is controlled by a camera that making the row harrow to follow the rows is it the soil coverage of the crop that is the limit for the speed. With wide machinery is the very good coverage even with a row harrow..

Problem: The question is if investors falls into psychological decision traps when they are about to make an investments decision. Research in other areas suggests that this may be case. The reason is that they are not aware of that psychological decision traps exist. If so, it can lead to pernicious consequences for the return on the portfolios they manage. Purpose: To investigate if investors fall into four different psychological decisions traps: anchoring, confirming evidence, overconfidence and regression towards mean, at investments in IPOs Method: We have collected data through a form of experiment.

The background of this study is the fact that it nowadays is more common to grow wheat after wheat. Usually we plow every autumn to remove the straw, and we wanted to study the effect of alternative methods to do it. We have done this experiment to answer the question if no tillage is better than conventional plowing. The results of the field experiment indicate that there is a link between plant establishment and the choice of equipment, but also a higher weed pressure in experimental plots with only ground tillage. The equipments which left much straw on the top of the ground the problems with fungi were more severe.

Socialstyrelsen, i sin roll av tillsynsmyndighet för den läkemedelsassisterade opiatvården, utfärdar riktlinjer för detta arbete. Av dessa framkommer vissa skyddsfaktorer av särskild vikt, vilka har operationaliserats i en factorial survey med en randomiserad och en standardiserad vinjettkomponent. Dessa bedömdes av yrkesverksamma inom underhållsbehandling, totalt 38 personer. Materialet bearbetades genom multipel regressionsanalys. Resultatet visade att tre av variablerna - psykosocial intervention, boendesituationen samt familjen/nätverkets stöd, har ungefär lika stor påverkan på bedömningar.

Tussilago farfara, coltsfoot, is a troublesome perennial weed with deep lying rhizome, which can vegetatively generate new plants. The mechanical control of coltsfoot that is used today, "starvation", which consists of several cultivations of the soil, which fragmentises the rhizome. This results in production of new shoots, which leads to depletion of nutrient resources; as long the new plant is not allowed to establish. However, very little research has been done to investigate how the starving technique affects the regenerative ability of coltsfoot. The purpose of this experiment with coltsfoot was to investigate how fragmentation and burial depths affect the time of emergence, number of emerged shoots per rhizome fragment, number of shoots per node, and if the germination ability within nodes changes during the experiment.

The purpose of this thesis is to see how small differences in a store can affect the customer behavior. The changes consist of auditory and visual sensory cues. Since many companies today makes a lot of changes in their styling element, but without knowing how it really affects the customer behavior we thought it would be interesting to see by doing an experiment at IKEA. The study is therefore based on a quantitative research method, where theories have been described and from which hypotheses have been derived to test the theories. The experience took place at IKEA during two weeks where 5732 observations were made.The result from the experiment is that the sensory cue sight makes individuals spend more time in the environment but not creating attention.

Syftet med vårt arbete var att undersöka om man genom ett laborativt arbetssätt kan öka elevernas förståelse för kemi i deras vardag. Undersökningen gjordes i årskurs sex under tidsrymden av sju veckor i två skolor, den ena i Piteå den andra i Kalix kommun. Under våra praktikveckor hade vi regelbundna lektioner där eleverna själva fick laborera kring förutbestämda experiment. Som mätinstrument använde vi oss av två kunskapstester, en i början och den andra i slutet av praktikperioden. Förutom detta så baserade vi även vårt resultat på elevintervjuer.

Fokus i examensarbetet ligger i att kartlägga likheter och skillnader i inlärning hos människor/djur och artificiella system genom att jämföra inlärningshastigheter och avkligningstider. Förhoppningen är att detta i förlängningen bidrar till ökad förståelse för och därmed förbättrad interaktion mellan artificiell och mänsklig intelligens. Arbetet bygger i huvudsak på teorier av B.F. Skinner och hans bok The behavior of organisms som gavs ut 1938. Hans teorier och experiment jämfördes med dagens kunskap om artificiell intelligens och ett eget experiment med artificiella neurala nätverk genomfördes.

Syftet med arbetet är att studera hur en undervisningssekvens, som vi utvecklat, kan hjälpa elever i årskurs fyra att utveckla de naturvetenskapliga begreppen fast, flytande, gasform och övergångarna där emellan. Genom en kvantitativ undersökning av resultaten från förförståelse- respektive efterenkät har vi studerat elevernas begreppsutveckling. Vi har också gjort en kvalitativ studie där vi analyserat elevernas diskussioner under laborationerna. Vi har dokumenterat genom förförståelseenkät, efterenkät och ljudupptagning. Resultaten av studien visar hur viktiga vi som pedagoger är för att skapa diskussioner under laborationerna.

The high feeding value of red clover makes it into an important species in Swedish agriculture. There are three different maturity types grown in Sweden, early, medium late and late. The time for heading, regrowth and winter hardiness is affected by the maturity type, but there can also be other factors that are affected by the maturity type, for instance fiber content. In a greenhouse experiment three red clover varieties of different maturity types were compared; early Titus, middle late SW Nancy and late SW Torun. The features compared were fiber content and differences in development rates.

AbstractDegree thesis Solid content in Lime Mud By Andre Flodin Process operator program ? Umeå University 17/6 ? 2014 Pages: 21A thesis was made on Billerudkorsnäs production unit in Karlsborg where lime kiln in the causticising department of chemical recovery plant does not meet the required production. Causticising department is the final step in the chemical recycling unit. There, the filtered green liquor is mixed with lime to recover the cooking chemicals used in the pulp factory. The cooking liquid is called white liquor.

This paper examines the impact of conscious shelf management on online grocery stores. An S-O-R framework is used to unveil if some established shelf management techniques from physical stores are applicable in an online context. We also explain some of the cognitive processes customers experience as they get exposed to online buying situations. A main study with two data sources is conducted: one quantitative website experiment with 168 participants who got exposed to five different organisation patterns within five different categories; and one more qualitative eye tracking experiment with 20 participants. The results indicate that a disorganised product page evokes not only different scan paths and cognitive patterns but also generates higher sales.
