  2. 2. Luxury, Fashion, and Idols - Applying an extended theory of planned behavior to examine barriers toward sustainable fashion consumption in Japan

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Graduate School

    Author : Florian Konstantin Gold; Allegra-Scarlett Nefertari Verena Irmgard Marie Terner; [2023-07-03]
    Keywords : Fashion; Luxury; Idols; Japan; Consumption; Sustainability; Theory of Planned Behavior; Barriers; Sustainable Fashion;

    Abstract : Purpose: This study aimed to apply an extended theory of planned behavior (TPB) to sustainable fashion consumption (SFC) in Japan, and test the importance of sociocultural barriers to purchase intentions. Methodology: As only a few studies have examined SFC in Japan and have not used the TPB framework, this study adds to the body of literature, and proposes luxury orientation, fashion involvement, and idol attachment as barriers toward sustainable fashion (SF) purchase intentions in Japan.

  3. 3. Did Private Equity-Backed Firms Outperform Operationally During Covid-19?

    University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för finansiell ekonomi

    Author : Boris Bojovic; Marvin Stenersen; [2023]
    Keywords : Private equity; Covid-19; Operational improvements; PE-backed;

    Abstract : Do private equity (PE) backed companies perform better operationally in a non-financial crisis? By analyzing PE-backed firms in the UK during Covid-19 using fixed effects difference-in-differences, our findings suggest that private equity-backed companies' performance decreased significantly more at the onset of the crisis and increased their leverage but recovered faster both with greater magnitude and significance. PE-backed companies thus seem to handle an operationally-sided crisis better over time but are more exposed to them initially. READ MORE

  4. 4. Methods for determining focal point and delay for ultrasound arrays and multichannel electronics

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Biomedicinsk teknik

    Author : Svante Rosenlind; [2023]
    Keywords : Focusing algorithms; k-wave; Spatiotemporal inverse filter; Gerchberg- Saxton algorithm; Focused ultrasound; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : High intensity focused ultrasound is a growing technique for tissue ablation, among other uses, and given its destructive capabilities, there is a need for control of where the energy is delivered. There exist a number of methods for focusing such ultrasound arrays, but these often assume prior knowledge of the impulse response, or require extensive full-system simulations. READ MORE
