IKEA's brand culture in today's Chinese market: Focus on Shanghai
No full textTitle: IKEA's brand culture in today's Chinese market: Focus on Shanghai Level: Final assignment for Master of Business Administration Author: Hongming Yang, Chen Hu Supervisor: Maria Fregidou-Malama Date: 2012-June Aim: The aim of this study is to analyze the collected information to study the IKEA's brand culture and consumer psychology and behavior in Shanghai market nowadays. By using Hofstede´s cultural dimensions to assess the IKEA's brand culture in Shanghai we give suggestions to IKEA about how to adapt to the regional market. Method: Use of primary data which were collected through interviews, with a questionnaire provided to managers. Secondary data in form of articles, books and published literature has been collected through databases such as DIVA, Emerald and the library at Gävle University. We use qualitative analysis to study the issue. Result & Conclusions: IKEA's brand culture to provide good quality products to improve people's life in Shanghai in cheap price is not so clearly understood. IKEA has to adjust its marketing strategy, such as improving the quality of its products, or reducing the price, to remove the Shanghai consumers' confusion and misunderstanding of IKEA, in order to suit the Shanghai regional culture. Contribution of the thesis: We suggest that multinational enterprises should pay attention on the regional culture of the market they want to enter in. It is important that the enterprises know the Shanghai consumers' culture requirements, which can lead enterprises to promote their brand culture

# CT folder: There are 11 sub-folder and Testmain.m. To run this code, you need to ensure your computer or work station run FBPConvNet, which can be downloaded publically from https://github.com/panakino/FBPConvNet. The lib subfolder should be added into path.
# Run Testmain.m to fast generate the reconstruction results with modifying the path. ACID subfolder contains ACID reconstruction demos for structure-changes, tiny-perturbation, more-input-data and ACID against whole Adversarial attack. Ablation subfolder is used to generate the ablation results. Demo_adversarial_pert_ACID and Demo_adversarial_pert_NN are used to adversarial attacks from the whole ACID and a single NN, where Demo_adversarial_pert_NN is sorted out based on Antun, Vegard, et al. "On instabilities of deep learning in image reconstruction and the potential costs of AI."?PNAS, 117.48 (2020): 30088-30095. Run ACIDFindPerMain.m to find the adversarial attack for whole ACID and run Demo_adversarial_pert_NN_ELL for generating the adversarial attack for Ell-50.
# CS-based and dictionary learning-based reconstruction methods are also included
# Testdata and Out_data subfolder are used to store inputdata and reconstruction results.
# Environment: Window 10 system, Matlab 2017b, Matconvnet-1.0-beta23, cuda 10.0
# MRI folder: these files focus on MRI reconstruction. There are three methods related to deep-learning-based MRI reconstruction in our paper, including AUTOMAP, DAGAN, ADMM-Net and the traditional method TGV. Their reconstruction results used in the reference are included in this folder.
# You can reproduce the results by downloading all the files and configure your workstation following the instruction of different established reconstruction methods, such as AUTOMAP, DAGAN, ADMM-Net.
# All the test data can be found in "InputData" and all the reconstruction images can be found in "ReconResult". Specified environment depending on network environment, for example, ACID building in DAGAN depends on Windows 10 system, TensorFlow 1.8.0, cuda 10.0

A Corpus-based Analysis of The Time Machine: From the Perspective of Literary Stylistics
No full textFrom a corpus stylistic perspective, this paper analyses H.G. Wells’ book The Time Machine at the level of punctuation and vocabulary, etc. By utilizing the Sketch Engine and AntConc software, this paper finds that the author excels at using a large number of content words to present information and makes extensive use of transitive conjunctions in the course of the narration in order to present information that is difficult for the readers to anticipate. Based on the above methods, the author creates a contextual atmosphere suitable for the construction of the scientific discourse, eventually achieving an efficient degree of language code transmission with readers
The Concept of the Buddha in Early Buddhism
No full textSome scholars of Buddhist studies consider the Buddha as a mythological figure. This is especially true at the end of the eighteenth and the beginning of the nineteenth centuries. Later on, rational Buddhist scholars argue that the Buddha is a historical personage and the miraculous stories are actually later additions. In this paper, the author has reexamined the identity of the Buddha by using the earliest Buddhist scripture, namely the Pāli Nikāyas and the Chinese Āgamas. An analysis of the descriptions of the Buddha in these early scriptures reveals two aspects of the concept: a human identity and a superhuman character. These two identities may have co-existed from the inception of Buddhism.published_or_final_versio
Methane-derived authigenic carbonates – A case for a globally relevant marine carbonate factory
No full textPrecipitation of methane-derived authigenic carbonates (MDAC) is an integral part of marine methane production and consumption, but MDAC's relative significance to the global marine carbon cycle is not well understood. Here we provide a synthesis and perspective to highlight MDAC from a global marine carbon biogeochemistry viewpoint. MDAC formation is a result and archive of carbon‑sulfur (Csingle bondS) coupling in the shallow sulfatic zone and carbon‑silicon (Csingle bondSi) coupling in deeper methanic sediments. MDAC constitute a carbon sequestration of 3.93 Tmol C yr−1 (range 2.34–5.8 Tmol C yr−1) in the modern ocean and are the third-largest carbon burial mechanism in marine sediments. This burial compares to 29% (11–57%) organic carbon and 10% (6–23%) skeletal carbonate carbon burial along continental margins. MDAC formation is also an important sink for benthic alkalinity and, thereby, a potential contributor to bottom water acidification. Our understanding of the impact of MDAC on global biogeochemical cycles has evolved over the past five decades from what was traditionally considered a passive carbon sequestration mechanism in a seep-oasis setting to what is now considered a dynamic carbonate factory expanding from deep sediments to bottom waters—a factory that has been operational since the Precambrian. We present a strong case for the need to improve regional scale quantification of MDAC accumulation rates and associated carbonate biogeochemical parameters, leading to their incorporation in present and paleo‑carbon budgets in the next phase of MDAC exploration.This article is published as Akam, Sajjad A., Elizabeth D.

Performance evaluation of urea injection on the emission reduction of dioxins and furans in a commercial municipal solid waste incinerator
No full textPolychlorinated dibenzo-p-furans and dioxins (PCDD/Fs) that pose a great threat to human health are commonly found during the incineration of municipal solid waste. In this study, industrial urea was injected into a commercial MSW incinerator flue gas to evaluate the suppression performances of PCDD/Fs, and the possible inhibition mechanisms were proposed. The results show that the use of urea dramatically reduced the PCDD/Fs emission concentration from 8.87 to 0.63 ng/Nm3, along with a significant decrease in the I-TEQ value (0.26 → 0.047 ng I-TEQ/Nm3), below the Chinese national standard of 0.1 ng I-TEQ/Nm3. The emission reduction cost of the industrial urea was over 41 % lower than that of using activated carbon. Urea molecule poisoned the metal ions, thus seriously inhibiting the de novo synthesis of PCDD/Fs. Furthermore, the decomposition products of urea reduced the concentration of HCl in the flue gas, thereby reducing the formation of Cl2 and hindering the chlorination reaction, which was identified from the reduction of chlorination degree and lower distribution of high-chlorinated PCDD/Fs. This research provided some practice basis and experience to reduce the emission of PCDD/Fs from municipal solid waste incineration for future commercial promotion and application
