Identitetsskapande viamarknadsföring : En kvalitativ undersökning om hur frilansareväljer att marknadsföra sig själv samt sin karriärmed hjälp av sociala medier / How to Create a Brand Identity Through Marketing : A qualitative study on how freelancerschoose to advertise themselves and their careers with the help of social networking

Birgisdottir, Hrefna, Rosvall Smitterberg, Alba January 2011 (has links)
There are those who currently use social networks as a marketing tool that creates the standards that exist. There is no given standard, there are no absolute facts that exist through all time. A constant change is happening and therefore forcing everyone involved to adapt and make the changes needed to be current. What is relevant to consider in this study are the different roles a freelancer creates on the various channels of social media. Based on the results of the interviews that have been conducted the informants create different identities at different forums they reside on. Another important point to address is the brand awereness informants consciously

Att stärka innovation i mjukvaruföretag

Jansson, Fredrik January 2010 (has links)
Detta examensarbete har två huvudsakliga mål. Det ena är att utöka funktionaliteten i mjukvaran C3Loops för att underlätta för musiker som producerar elektronisk musik som vill använda mjukvaran i liveframträdanden. Det andra är att titta närmre på hur processmodeller för mjukvaruutveckling stödjer innovation. Denna rapport ger läsaren ett tvärvetenskapligt perspektiv. Tre för ämnet relevanta teoretiska områden, innovation, software-engineering och design tas upp. C3Loops projektet används som ett exempel på ett innovativt mjukvaruprojekt och det är arbetet inom detta projekt som står som modell och bakgrund till resultatet och slutsatsen. Idén till mjukvaran C3Loops är resultatet av tekn.Dr Rikard Lindellʼs avhandling ”jag älskar att allt ligger överst”. Arbetet resulterade i en interaktiv prototyp som Lindell beslöt sig för att ta vidare och kommersialisera. Syftet med prototypen var att utforska bruksvärdet av ytinteraktion med pekskärmar. Mjukvaran är ett preformance verktyg för kollaborativa multimedia-framträdanden. Den skall skapa nya möjligheter för liveframträdanden och samarbeten mellan elektroniska musiker, Dj och Vj. C3Loops projektet är fortfarande pågående. Plattformen som projektet produceras för är iPad plattformen. Release datum för projektet är tänkt att överenstämma med iPads releasedatum i Sverige. Rapporten leder till ett förslag på hur organisationer som vill förbättra sin innovationsförmåga kan gå tillväga. Detta i form av en projektmetod tänkt att stödja processen för att ta fram och pröva idéer till V1.0 mjukvara. Det återstår att testa och utvärdera metoden i skarpa projekt. / This thesis work has two main goals. The first is to extend the functionality of the C3Loops software in such a way as to make it usfull for a wider variety of electronic musicians The second is to examine how well software engineering process models support innovation. The C3Loops project is used as a case wich is studied in relation to this inquiry. The idea for C3Loops is the result of the doctoral thesis ”i love the fact that everything is on top” by tekn.Dr.Rikard Lindell. The work on this thesis resulted in an interactive prototype, which Lindell decided to try and commercialise as a product. The original purpose of this prototype was to explore the value of surface interaction using touch screens in a collaborative multimedia preformance context. It creates new posibilities for live preformance and collaboration between electronic artists, Djs and Vjs. The C3Loops project is still ongoing. The software is being produced for the iPad platform and its release is planned to coincide with the iPad release in Sweden. The result of this report is a suggestion on how organizations that develop software can improve their ability to innovate. This suggestion takes the form of a process model specifically designed to help support the creation and evaluation of idéas for V1.0 software. Future work includes testing this new method on real projects.

ÄR EXCENTRISK TRÄNING EN EFFEKTIV METOD FÖR ATT UTVECKLA HOPPHÖJD, MUSKELSTYRKA ELLER EFFEKTUTVECKLING FÖR TRÄNADE OCH SKADEFRIA INDIVIDER? : En översiktsartikel / IS ECCENTRIC TRAINING AN EFFICIENT METHOD TO ENHANCE JUMP HEIGHT, MUSCLE STRENGTH OR POWER IN TRAINED AND NON-INJURED INDIVIDUALS? : A review

Hedman, Victor January 2018 (has links)
I denna översiktsartikel granskades 17 randomiserade kontroll studier som undersökt hur excentrisk träning har påverkat hopphöjd, muskelstyrka och effektutveckling hos tränade och skadefria individer, med mål att svara på följande två frågeställningar; 1) ”Är excentrisk träning ett effektivt sätt att träna för att utveckla hopphöjd, muskelstyrka och effektutveckling för tränade och skadefria individer?” 2) ”Om det är det, hur bör denna träning i så fall se ut?”. Majoriteten av insamlade studier kunde inte urskilja några signifikanta förändringar till följd av excentrisk träning. Endast sex av 17 studier kunde påvisa akuta såväl som kortsiktiga signifikanta förbättringar av hopphöjd, muskelstyrka och effektutveckling. Dock ifrågasätts relevansen av dessa fynd då effektstorleken inte rapporterats i alla studier samt att utformningen av studierna varierat från en studie till en annan. Sammantaget lyckades inte de granskade studierna bevisa att excentrisk träning är en effektiv metod för att utveckla hopphöjd, muskelstyrka och effektutveckling hos tränade och skadefria individer. / In this review 17 randomized control studies were reviewed that had examined the effects of eccentric training regarding jump height, strength and power for trained and non-injured individuals. The purpose of the review was to answer the following two questions at issue; 1) “Is eccentric training an efficient method to enhance jump height, strength or power for trained and non-injured individuals?” 2) “If so, how should that training regime be designed?”. Most of the included studies could not distinguish any significant changes because of eccentric training. Only six out of 17 studies could show acute as well as short term significant improvements in jump height, strength and power. The relevance of these findings is questioned since effect size has not been reported in all the included studies. The variety between the different interventions in each study also makes it difficult to compare the results between one study and another. In conclusion, the reviewed studies failed to show that eccentric training is an effective method to enhance jump height, strength and power for trained and non-injured individuals.

Mort cellulaire et Maladie de Parkinson : Rôle de la synphiline-1, de la Parkine et de DJ-1

Giaime, Emilie 13 October 2008 (has links) (PDF)
La maladie de Parkinson (MP) est un syndrome neurodégénératif, caractérisé par une dégénérescence spécifique des neurones dopaminergiques de la substance noire, associée à la présence d'inclusions cytoplasmiques appelées corps de Lewy. Les formes familiales résultent de mutations portées par: la parkine (PK), DJ-1, PINK1, l'-synucléine, l'UCHL1, et LRRK2. Ces mutations s'accompagnent d'un dysfonctionnement du système ubiquitine-protéasome, de la mitochondrie ainsi que d'une augmentation du stress oxydatif induisant une mort neuronale par apoptose. Au cours de mon travail de thèse, je me suis intéressée à la synphiline-1, un partenaire de l'-synucléine, et à deux protéines impliquées dans les formes récessives de la MP, DJ-1 et la PK.<br />Je me suis consacrée à l'étude de leurs fonctions physiologiques, ainsi qu'à leurs implications dans les processus apoptotiques. Ainsi, j'ai déterminé que ces protéines réduisent l'activité de la caspase-3 induite par différents stimuli. Ce rôle protecteur passe par la régulation de la voie dépendante de p53. De plus, j'ai identifié DJ-1 et la synphiline-1 comme étant substrats des caspases, mais aussi que les fragments C-terminaux issus de ce clivage portent leurs activités biologiques.<br />Parallèlement, j'ai étudié des aspects de la régulation transcriptionnelle de DJ 1 et de la PK par le facteur de transcription p53. J'ai mis en évidence une boucle de régulation entre p53, DJ-1 et la PK. J'ai montré que ces deux protéines sont capables de réguler l'expression de p53. De plus, j'ai déterminé que la PK régule positivement DJ-1, et que ce contrôle s'effectue via la régulation transcriptionnelle de DJ-1 par p53.

"I can turn karaoke into open mic night" : an exploration of Asian American men in hip hop

Jackson, Tamela Teara 22 November 2013 (has links)
The purpose of this report is to explore the ways in which Asian American men participate in hip hop culture, and what this participation says about their politics and representation in United States media and popular culture. This is done through an analysis of Freestyle Friday All Star, MC Jin, a Chinese American emcee from Queens, New York, as well as DJ Soko, a Korean American DJ from Detroit, Michigan. I argue that their participation is a desire for political power and creative visibility rendered on their own terms. / text

Les effets de l’Angiopoietin-like 2 sur la voie cytoprotectrice antioxydante Nrf2

Laplante-El Haïli, Youri 03 1900 (has links)
L’angiopoietin-like 2 (angptl2) est une glycoprotéine de 64 kDa pro-inflammatoire et pro-athérogénique associée à divers maladies inflammatoires chroniques. Il est probable que l’angptl2 possède également un effet pro-oxydant, puisqu’elle stimule la production aigüe de dérivés réactifs oxygénés (DRO). Le facteur de transcription « nuclear factor (erythroidderived 2)-like 2 » (Nrf2) fait partie d’un mécanisme antioxydant majeur permettant de maintenir l’équilibre redox via l’induction de plusieurs gènes de l’élément de réponse antioxydante (ERA). En présence de DRO, la protéine Keap-1 se dissocie de Nrf2 et cesse de promouvoir sa dégradation protéasomale. Cette dissociation est stimulée par la protéine DJ-1 qui favorise la translocation nucléaire de Nrf2. La p38MAPK peut phosphoryler Nrf2 et promouvoir son interaction avec Keap-1. Nous avons posé l’hypothèse selon laquelle l’angptl2 causait un stress oxydant chronique, d’abord en stimulant en aigu la production de DRO, puis en inhibant la voie antioxydante Nrf2. Nous avons étudié, par immunobuvardage de type Western sur des cellules endothéliales en culture (HUVEC), les effets de l’angptl2 recombinante (100 nM) sur les niveaux protéiques nucléaires de Nrf2, les niveaux de Keap-1 dans le cytosol et de DJ-1 dans le noyau, en absence et en présence de l’antioxydant NAC (10 μM). Nous avons également étudié l’activation de la p38MAPK. Les niveaux nucléaires de Nrf2 n’ont pas été affectés par la stimulation aigüe (10 min) à l’angptl2 recombinante, mais ont été diminués par la stimulation chronique (24 h). L’ajout d’un agent antioxydant n’a pas altéré l’effet chronique, indiquant que les DRO ne sont pas directement impliqués. Les niveaux protéiques cytosoliques de Keap-1, protéine inhibitrice de Nrf2, et les niveaux nucléaires de DJ-1, protéine stabilisatrice de Nrf2, n’ont pas été affectés par l’angptl2 de manière significative. La phosphorylation de la p38MAPK n’a pas été non plus affectée par la stimulation aigüe ou chronique à l’angptl2. Ces données suggèrent que l’angptl2 n’a pas d’effet aigu, mais a un effet chronique inhibiteur sur la voie Nrf2, qui n’est pas associé à un effet sur Keap-1, DJ-1 ou p38MAPK. / Angiopoietin-like 2 (angptl2) is a 64 kDa pro-inflammatory and pro-atherogenic glycoprotein associated with various chronic inflammatory diseases. It is likely that angptl2 also has a pro-oxidant property, since it stimulates the acute production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). The transcription factor nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) constitutes a major antioxidant mechanism, responsible for maintaining redox balance within the cell via the induction of various genes composing the antioxidant response element (ARE). In the presence of ROS, cytosolic protein Keap-1 dissociates from Nrf2 and is thus no longer able to target Nrf2 for proteasomal degradation. The interaction between Nrf2 and Keap-1 is inhibited by DJ-1, another regulator of Nrf2, but is favoured by phosphorylation of Nrf2 by p38MAPK. Our hypothesis was that angptl2 caused a chronic oxidative stress, at first by stimulating an acute ROS production, and later by inhibiting the Nrf2 antioxidant pathway. We studied, by Western Blot on cultured endothelial cells (HUVEC), the effects of recombinant angptl2 (100 nM) on nuclear protein levels of Nrf2, as well as cytosolic levels of Keap-1 and nuclear levels of DJ-1 in the absence and presence of the antioxidant NAC (10 μM). We also measured the activation of p38MAPK in response to angptl2 stimulation. Nuclear protein levels of Nrf2 were not affected by acute simulation (10 min) by recombinant angptl2, but were diminished after chronic stimulation (24 h). The addition of an antioxidant did not alter angptl2’s chronic effect on Nrf2, indicating that ROS were not directly implicated. Cytosolic levels of Keap-1 and nuclear levels of DJ-1 were not significantly affected by angptl2. Similarly, angptl2 did not affect p38MAPK phosphorylation. These data suggest that angptl2 has no acute effect on Nrf2, but has an inhibitory chronic effect, which is not likely to involve Keap-1, DJ-1 or p38MAPK.
