A study of in-store atmospherics impact on young consumers in fashion houses
Full text linkAbstract Title: A study of in-store atmospherics impact on young consumers in fashion houses Date of the Seminar: June 4th 2008 Course: BUSM08. Master thesis in International Marketing & Brand Management Authors: Md. Abu Baker Siddique Masum Milan Filipovic Supervisor: Ulf Elg Keywords: In-store atmosphere, young generation, fashion houses. Thesis purpose: This thesis will find out the influences of the in-store environment in the fashion houses and it will be applicable for this sector. This research will provide information to develop a better in-store environment in fashion houses to attract more young people. Methodology: This thesis employs a qualitative strategy with a inductive approach and data has been collected from observations and interviews. Theoretical perspective: Two theoretical areas have been combined in this research paper. One is impact of environmental stimulus from MR model and another one is atmospherics concepts, which have constructed the theoretical framework. Empirical data: The empirical data have collected through observing and interviewing the young generation at different fashion houses in Lund and Helsingborg. Conclusion: The result indicates that atmospherics have a great impact on the buying behaviour of the young generation in fashion sector. Theoretically, this study has contributed to the existing theory by showing the atmospherics impact on the buying behaviour. More specifically, the retailers of this sector have to take consideration about some factors for example: store design, arranging the product to develop an attractive in-store environment
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Optimal Allocation of Distributed Generation in Distribution Systems
No full textA Master of Science thesis in Electrical Engineering by Hamza Mohammad Abu-Baker entitled, “Optimal Allocation of Distributed Generation in Distribution Systems”, submitted in July 2019. Thesis advisor is Dr. Mostafa Shaaban and thesis co-advisor is Dr. Ahmed Osman. Soft and hard copy available.The integration of distributed generation (DG) to the power grid has increased in recent years due to their techno-economic benefits for utilities and consumers. The downside of these DG units is that they introduce several challenges to the utilities. One of the critical challenges faced by the utilities from such units is their effect on the protection system settings, location, and coordination. For designing the protection system, fault analysis is carried on the system without considering any DG units. Once the DG units are installed, all previous settings must be updated, since the addition of these units affects the pickup current settings of the protection relays, coordination between the primary and the secondary relays, and even the direction of the fault current. Failing to consider the DG effect on the protection system may lead to serious equipment damage or system failure costing the utility a huge financial setback. Moreover, DG units have many economic and technical effects that must be taken into consideration such as power loss, voltage profile, and thermal overloading. This work proposes a new method for DG allocation in the distribution system through genetic algorithm. The main objective of this work is to optimally allocate DG units to minimize the overall operating costs of the system while taking into consideration its intermittency and the protection system aspects. Simulation results have been developed on a typical distribution system. The optimally allocated DG units resulted in a reduction by 10 % in the overall system costs while upgrading the protection system to withstand the new configuration over the planning horizon.College of EngineeringDepartment of Electrical EngineeringMaster of Science in Electrical Engineering (MSEE
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
