Youssefzadeh, Salim Benjamin. "Future of Payment Platforms". DigitalCommons@CalPoly, 2014. https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/theses/1241.
Texto completoResumen
With the vast increase in smartphones, there have been an increasing number of opportunities growing in the app industry. One in particular is the way we deal with money. There are huge overheads in the current payment systems around the world particularly in the United States, many of which include large transaction fees. Many new businesses have grown to solve these inefficiencies and create a new platform that provides a new user experience, security, and convenience among many other things. However, many of these platforms are still centralized, making them more susceptible to attacks. This thesis goes over the various methods of payments, starting from their origins and discusses their flaws and ways they are being improved. This study explains where payment platforms are going and how they line up against other platforms in terms of security and usability.
We look at the origins of credit cards and why the US is lagging behind other countries in credit card security. Digital wallets like PayPal, Venmo, Square, etc. have done a remarkable job, but still have room for improvement in terms of security and usage. I try to solve these problems with the mobile application AnyCoin by bringing one platform that houses different types of digital wallets. The goal of this application was to grow a large user base and collect data off the transaction for future analysis and advertising. This study goes through an in depth analysis on the application from the
iv
perspective of merchants and consumers to understand what users are looking for in digital wallets.
Decentralized platforms and crypto-currencies like Bitcoin have also created different ways to send money by creating a trustless system that does not depend on any central authority. I discuss what Bitcoin is and exactly how it works and the flaws in the current system. Mining is the process that puts Bitcoin into circulation and secures the network. However, as more customized hardware is released, Bitcoin will fall subject to becoming more centralized, and unfortunately become heavy regulated if it is to be used as a currency.
Ethereum is a new technology that takes the concepts of Bitcoin and creates a platform for a developer to create a decentralized application. I create a few contracts that show how we can create a decentralized version of PayPal that works using other crypto- currencies. Ethereum is still in its alpha stage and has yet to be released to the public, but has already improved on the problems that Bitcoin and other crypto-currencies hold.

Sridhar, Naren. "Impact of product appearance and other influencing factors in the consumers' decision making : perceptual cycle model of urban young adults in India". Thesis, University of Huddersfield, 2018. http://eprints.hud.ac.uk/id/eprint/34769/.
Texto completoResumen
Product appearance has been considered a significant factor of influence in the consumer behaviour, but its impact alongside other factors like cost, features and intrinsic psychological factors on the decision making has not been in focus. This is especially the case in the Indian urban context where both consumer behaviour and the influencing factors have not been adequately studied. Based on the mixed methods research philosophy, this study employed both quantitative and qualitative data collection methods, to empirically study the in-store consumer behaviour of the young urban Indian adults (18-25 years). The product category chosen for this study was both a functional and a fashion accessory: wristwatches. Literature related to the various areas of the cultural, sociological and economical conditions of the Indian consumer context were studied alongside theories of consumer behaviour based on cognitive psychology. Primary data was collected from a combination of 74 questionnaire survey responses, 101 observation episodes and 7 expert interviews. This large amount of data was analysed based on the paradigms of grounded theory coding levels as well as the theoretical foundation of the perceptual cycle model. The findings of the study presented an interesting and new perspective of the Indian consumer filling existing gaps in knowledge. The main finding related to product appearance vis-à-vis other competing factors as ‘stimuli’, was that it has very low influence on the in-store purchase behaviour of the Indian consumer, with limited impact on the final purchase decision, cost factor is the key influencing factor in this decision. However, the other key influencing factors in the ‘exploration’ and ‘schema’ were the socio-psychological factors of peer groups, family influence, conformity and symbolic interaction, each of which were examined independently and together in the perceptual cycle. The finding also augmented the pivotal role of peer and family influences on the decision making. Finally, a new conceptual framework, based on the perceptual cycle model and reasoned action model, in the form of an integrated decision model, amending the deficiencies in both, to include the key factors of emotions, attitudes, beliefs and behavioural intent was developed based on the findings of the study.

Texto completoResumen
There are increasing needs for trained business persons as a result of the
recent rapid development of foreign trade in Vietnam. A good command of
written commercial English is one of the most important qualifications of a
business person. At present the Hanoi Foreign Trade College is the only
institution which is responsible for training commerce students. The
teaching of writing skill in general and the teaching of commercial letter
writing in particular still leave much to be desired. The writing skill of
graduates of the Hanoi Foreign Trade College is far from satisfactory
This Field Study Report aims at identifying the difficulties and the needs of
commerce students in the Hanoi Foreign Trade College. It takes into
consideration the language and learning needs of the target students in
order to suggest a syllabus for the teaching of commercial letter writing to
commerce students more efficiently.
The Field Study Report consists of seven chapters.
Chapter I provides an analysis of the teaching and learning situations at the
Hanoi Foreign Trade College and problems of the teaching of commercial
letter writing.
Chapter 2 looks at some major theoretical problems and practical issues for
Specific Purpose English syllabus design and material production for the
teaching of commercial letter writing to commerce students at the Hanoi
Foreign Trade College.
Chapter 3 is a contrastive analysis of western commercial letters,
Vietnamese commercial letters in Vietnamese and Vietnamese commercial
letters in English.
Chapter 4 is an analysis of the results of a survey made in 1988 to identify
the needs of commerce students for commercial letters.
Chapter 5 is mainly concerned with designing a communicative syllabus for
the teaching of commercial letter writing to commerce students in Vietnam.
Chapter 6 is the proposed syllabus for the teaching of CLW to commerce
students at the HFTC, Vietnam.
Chapter 7 is the conclusion.
This Field Study Report should be regarded as an exploratory attempt to
adopt the communicative approach in designing a syllabus for the teaching
of commercial letter writing to commerce students in Vietnam.

JERNBECK, THERESE. "Implementing an Address System in Uganda : How will it Affect Commerce?" Thesis, KTH, Industriell ekonomi och organisation (Inst.), 2018. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-237526.
Texto completoResumen
Uganda is a low-income country in eastern Africa which has experienced social and economic improvements since the mobile phone was launched (Deloitte, GSMA, and Cisco, 2012). The positive attitude towards mobile solutions contributes to the country´s growth in the international world, even if some circumstances are blocking the full potentials (African Development Bank, 2014). Current research regarding Uganda´s need for an address system is lacking. Based on six (6) interviews with people who have worked with business environments and infrastructure, this thesis examines how a mobile-based address system can enhance Uganda’s trading situation via improving time efficiency, opportunities, accessibilities, collaboration, and delivery. The formation of a physical address system has started in Kampala, the capital, but the results from this thesis further emphasize the importance of a national wide, all-compassing address system that reaches all citizens. The conclusion of this thesis shows how the standard of living, the business environment, the public sector, entrepreneurs, market entry, services, and commerce would benefit from the implementation of an address system in a sustainable way in Uganda. It occurs mainly through improved infrastructure, delivery system, navigation, service availability, and transportation. This has a potential to improve time and cost efficiency for daily activities.Uganda är ett låginkomstland i östra Afrika där både ekonomisk och social utveckling har frodats sedan lanseringen av mobiltelefoni (Deloitte, GSMA, and Cisco, 2012). Att ugandier är positivt inställda till utvecklingen och användningen av mobilteknologi är väsentligt för att den internationella handeln ska kunna växa. I dagsläget finns olika faktorer som hindrar utveckling i landet (African Development Bank, 2014). Det saknas aktuell forskning gällande Ugandas behov av ett adressystem. Den här uppsatsen är baserad på intervjuer med 6 personer som har arbetat med affärsklimat och infrastruktur. Denna kvalitativa studie undersöker hur ett digitalt baserat adressystem kan bidra till en förbättrad handel för Uganda genom förbättrad tidseffektivitet, fler möjligheter, tillgänglighet, samarbete och leveranser. Lanseringen av fysiska adresser har börjat i huvudstaden, Kampala. Däremot tyder resultatet från den här uppsatsen på att ett nationellt etablerat, nåbart och flitigt använt adressystem skulle gynna Ugandas ekonomi. Slutsatsen är att levnadsstandard, affärsklimat, den offentliga sektorn, entreprenörskap, marknader, tjänster och handel skulle främjas på ett hållbart sätt av en rikstäckande implementering av ett adressystem. Det sker genom förbättrad infrastruktur, leveranssystem, navigationsmöjligheter samt tillgänglighet till tjänster och transport. Detta förväntas resultera i ökad tids- och kostnadseffektivitet för dagliga affärsaktiviteter.

Taylor, Matthew. "The Centralization of Bitcoin: The Long-Run Economics of Bitcoin Mining". Scholarship @ Claremont, 2014. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/cmc_theses/834.
Texto completoResumen
The Bitcoin currency relies on a transaction verification system run by a decentralized network of miners. This paper evaluates the long-term economic stability of Bitcoin mining. Specifically, I analyze the incentive structure surrounding transaction fees, which are part of the reward miners earn for verifying transactions in the Bitcoin network. My method of investigation is to first construct a visual model representing miner incentives, then input current and estimated data into that model, and finally determine how individual miners and pools will behave based on the key variables included in the model and industry trends. I conclude, under the current protocol rules, Bitcoin mining is not economically sustainable in the long-term due to the impending centralization of the network. Centralization in itself will not necessarily destroy the network. However, it will lead to unsatisfactory outcomes that will greatly lower the value of the entire system. Therefore, I recommend two potential solutions to the centralization issue, namely the requirement of either P2Pools or a proof-of-stake mechanism. The development of future applications on the Bitcoin protocol depends on the success of the Bitcoin currency application. These future technologies, along with the Bitcoin currency, have the potential to disrupt many industries. But, if miner incentives are not aligned with maintaining decentralization, then none of this potential will be realized.

Texto completoResumen
In today’s society, it is increasingly important for retailers to have an online presence, yet the adoption rate of e-commerce by small retailers is still lagging behind the that of larger retailers. This is due to the difficulty small retailers have to overcome the barriers to develop their web-shops, such as cost and time. This thesis will examine the barriers of single-store independent retail businesses to sell and market their goods online. It will use the Technology Acceptance Model framework developed by Davis (1986) to help understand how the barriers affect the retailers attitude towards the process of developing their web-shops. Specifically, it will ask the retailers, through interviews, what barriers exist, what their perception of difficulty to overcome these barriers is, and what their perception of importance to overcome these barriers is. The major findings show that the barriers for retailers have not changed in the past decade, nor has the difficulty level of overcoming these barriers. The majority of small retailers who have not yet developed their web-shops don’t feel that the effort to do so is worth the potential gains, yet the small retailers who have already developed their web-shops did feel it was worth the effort. The retailers all felt that the process was more difficult than it should be, and insisted they would make the leap if the cost and effort required was reduced.

Texto completoResumen
Nous nous intéressons à la multilinguïsation, ou « portage linguistique » (plus simple que la localisation) des services de gestion de contenu traitant des énoncés spontanés en langue naturelle, souvent bruités, mais contraints par la situation, et constituant toujours un « sous-langage » plus ou moins restreint.Un service de ce type (soit App) utilise une représentation du contenu spécifique (RC-App) sur laquelle travaille le noyau fonctionnel. Le plus souvent, cette représentation est produite à partir de la langue « native » L1 par un extracteur de contenu (EC-App). Nous avons dégagé trois méthodes de portage possibles, et les avons illustrées par le portage en français d'une partie de CATS, un système de traitement de petites annonces en SMS (en arabe) déployé à Amman, ainsi que sur IMRS, un système de recherche de morceaux de musique dont l'interface native est en japonais et dont seule la RC est accessible. Il s'agit de : (1) localisation « interne », i.e. adaptation à L2 de l'EC donnant EC-App-L2 ; (2) localisation « externe », i.e. adaptation d'un EC existant pour L2 au domaine et à la représentation de contenu de App (EC-X-L2-App); (3) traduction des énoncés de L2 vers L1.
Le choix de la stratégie est contraint par la situation traductionnelle : types et niveau d'accès possibles (accès complet au code source, accès limité à la représentation interne, accès limité au dictionnaire, et aucun accès), ressources disponibles (dictionnaires, corpus), compétences langagières et linguistiques des personnes intervenant dans la multilinguïsation des applications.
Les trois méthodes ont donné de bons résultats sur le portage d'arabe en français de la partie de CATS concernant l'occasion automobile. En localisation interne, la partie grammaticale a été très faiblement modifiée, ce qui prouve que, malgré la grande distance entre l'arabe et le français, ces deux sous-langages sont très proches l'un de l'autre, une nouvelle illustration de l'analyse de R. Kittredge. La localisation externe a été expérimentée sur CATS et sur IMRS en adaptant au nouveau domaine considéré l'extracteur de contenu du français écrit initialement par H. Blanchon pour le domaine du tourisme (projet CSTAR/Nespole!), puis en changeant de langue pour IMRS (anglais).
Enfin, le portage par TA statistique a également donné de très bonnes performances, et cela avec un corpus d'apprentissage très petit (moins de 10.000 mots) et un dictionnaire complet. Cela prouve que, dans le cas de sous-langages très petits, la TA statistique peut être de qualité suffisante en partant de corpus 100 à 500 fois moins grands que pour de la langue générale.

Joseph, Richard. "Investigating the role of Customers and other external influencers in radical new product development – a network approach". Thesis, University of Auckland, 2008. http://hdl.handle.net/2292/3397.
Texto completoResumen
The broad objective of this thesis is to extend our understanding of radical new product development (NPD) beyond degree of customer orientation (CO) by assessing the role and influence of both customers and other external influencers (OEIs). While a number of studies have investigated the relationship between CO and NPD outcomes, such studies typically focus on incremental NPD. The role of customers is also typically investigated using numerical scales to understand degree of CO, and fails to consider the important implementation issues of which, when and how customers are involved through the NPD process. In addition to customers, other external influencers (OEIs) such as investors, suppliers, distributors, competitors, universities and advisors are also increasingly involved in radical NPD, but the roles and actual influence of these different groups is unclear. To address these gaps in the literature this thesis adopts a network approach to investigate the role of customers and OEIs in the development of six radical new products. Six retrospective case studies are conducted, all involving the development of radical ICT products targeted at industrial markets. To provide further insight, three of these cases involve successful new products while the remaining three involve unsuccessful products. Analysis of case data involves qualitative and quantitative network analysis as well as thematic analysis of interview transcripts. Clear differences are found between the ways in which the successful and unsuccessful cases involve customers and OEIs. For example, firms developing successful products focus on existing customers with whom they have strong previous relationships, while developers of unsuccessful products do not. Furthermore, the successful cases all involve customers actively as co-developers of the product, while none of the unsuccessful cases take this approach. These findings are presented in detail and discussed in relation to the existing literature. A set of empirically-based propositions are outlined as a foundation for future research.

Kerrén, Thed. "Environmental Impact of E-Commerce Logistics : When is Home Delivery More Efficient than Collection-Delivery Points?" Thesis, KTH, Systemanalys och ekonomi, 2019. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-266888.
Texto completoResumen
In the literature on B2C logistics of e-commerce, the two main delivery methods - home delivery and delivery to collection-delivery points (CDPs) - have rarely been compared with respect to their environmental effects. This is the case despite a growing e-commerce and the fact that the logistic part of the transportation sector stands for a great amount of the pollution in urban areas. In this report, the two delivery methods have been compared to each other with respect to their environmental impacts through a custom-made network impact model, including simulation using vehicle routing problems (VRPs) and a cross-nested logit model. The results show that one delivery method's advantage over the other (only regarding emissions) is strongly dependent on the distance to the distribution center (DC), the customer density, the density of CDPs and the demographics of that area. Home deliveries proved to be more sensitive to the customer density factor and the distance to the DC than CDP deliveries.I litteraturen om e-handelslogistik har de två huvudsakliga leveransmetoderna -- hemleverans och leverans till utlämningsställe (CDP) -- sällan jämförts med avseende på deras miljöeffekter. Detta trots en växande e-handel och faktumet att logistikdelen av transportsektorn står för en stor del av föroreningarna i städer. I denna rapport har de två leveransmetoderna jämförts med avseende på deras miljöpåverkan genom en skräddarsydd modell, som bygger dels på simulering med hjälp av ruttplaneringsproblem (VRP) och dels på en korsnästad logitmodell (CNL). Resultaten visar att vilken leveransmetod som presterar bäst (räknat utifrån lägst utsläpp), är starkt beroende av avståndet till distributionscentret (DC), kundtätheten, tätheten av utlämningsställen och områdets demografi. Hemleveranser visade sig vara mer känsliga för kundtätheten och avståndet till distributionscentret än leveranser via utlämningsställe.

Texto completoResumen
This research explores competitive bodybuilders in New Zealand and their identities. Bodybuilders have often been construed as being broadly similar – excessively muscular people, who build their physiques for sometimes questionable reasons, such as for a cover for internal insecurities. Bodybuilding is often considered acceptable for men because muscles are symbolic of masculinity – on women they are seen as unnatural and unfeminine. While external critiques have tended to portray bodybuilders in a negative light, phenomenological accounts have often emphasised participants’ positive experiences. Existing research concerning the identity of bodybuilders has only scratched the surface. Identities reflect an understanding of ‘who one is’ – the continuing meanings people associate with themselves and as members of social groups. Furthermore, bodybuilders are not just ‘bodybuilders’, they are also people. Bodybuilding is not their only identity, it is one of their numerous identities. This research explored not only the meanings participants attribute to bodybuilding, but also how it is lived and experienced within the broader self. A phenomenological-inspired, mixed methodological approach was adopted using quantitative and qualitative methods. Participants were male and female competitive bodybuilders of varying ages residing in New Zealand. They were at different stages in their bodybuilding career and represented a range of competitive experience. A postal questionnaire was completed by 382 competitive bodybuilders, and in-depth interviews were conducted with 32 participants. Photo elicitation was also used. A key outcome of this research has been to highlight the changeable, complex, contradictory nature of bodybuilder identities. Fluidity, ambiguity and pluralism existed amongst the everyday practices and identities of participants. Although bodybuilders shared commonalities, their identities were not identical or stable: bodybuilding could be about transforming the body,looking good, being competitive, creative and/or healthy. It could be a lifestyle, involve personal challenge, self-development, social belonging and friendship. Identity experiences could be influenced by personality, background, gender, sexuality, age, ethnicity, work, family and church. The bodybuilder identities were also found to be closely connected to participant perceptions concerning their natural body, genetic advantages and limitations. Furthermore, their identities were not depthless but entailed commitment, passion, mental, social and emotional dimensions. Competitive bodybuilding was a meaningful activity, that often left an indelible mark and continued to shape participant lives even after they had ceased competitive bodybuilding.

Texto completoResumen
Introduction: The use of Web-based Business-to-Business E-commerce is increasing, however many companies who previously adopted e-commerce technology have failed to utilize it. Meanwhile, research has mostly focused on quantitative research regarding factors affecting the adoption of e-commerce, leaving a research gap regarding the routinization of the technology. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to provide knowledge regarding the management of the entire web-based business-to-business e-commerce assimilation process from initiation, to adoption and routinization. Method: The study addresses which factors affect the assimilation process, where in the process they are relevant and how they may be managed. A multiple case study with six large companies has been conducted through semi-structured interviews. The cases were compared to each other, as well as to previous research within e-business and/or e-commerce assimilation and adoption. Furthermore, change management literature has been used to aid the analysis of how certain factors may be managed. Findings: We have found the assimilation of web-based e-commerce to be a complex and iterative process that involves several interconnected factors which organizations manage in various ways. Seventeen factors within the technological, organizational and environmental contexts were identified to be relevant in the different phases of the assimilation process. A discussion regarding how these factors may be managed is conducted, including some indications on what approaches seem to be more or less viable. Practical Implications: Managers may use the findings of this study as guidance in their webbased e-commerce assimilation process. Originality/value: This study contributes with qualitative research on which factors affect the entire assimilation process of web-based e-commerce and how the factors may be managed. Paper Category: Master ThesisIntroduktion: Användningen av webbaserad e-handel i business-to-business-företag ökar, men många företag som redan har implementerat detta har misslyckats med att använda dess fulla potential. Samtidigt har forskningen huvudsakligen fokuserat på att kvantitativt studera faktorer som påverkar själva implementationen, medan aspekter rörande den efterföljande användningen av e-handeln har lämnats outforskade. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att bidra med kunskap kring hanteringen gällande hela processen, från initiering till implementation till att slutligen uppnå ett utbrett användande av den webbaserade e-handeln i business-to-business företag. Metod: Studien utreder vilka faktorer som påverkar processen, var i processen de är relevanta och hur de kan hanteras. Genom intervjuer genomfördes en komparativ fallstudie mellan sex stycken stora företag i Sverige. Företagens hantering av faktorerna jämfördes sinsemellan, samt med tidigare forskning inom implementation och hantering av e-handel. Detta jämfördes dessutom med teorier inom förändringsledning för att styrka analysen angående hur processen skulle kunna genomföras. Resultat: I vår studie har vi sett att den kringliggande processen runt implementationen av webbaserad e-handel är komplex och iterativ, samt att den har hanterats med varierande tillvägagångssätt. 17 faktorer inom tekniska-, organisatoriska- och miljösammanhang har hittats relevanta för de olika faserna i processen. Slutligen har det förts en diskussion angående hur dessa faktorer skulle kunna hanteras, samt indikationer på vilka tillvägagångssätt som verkar mer eller mindre gångbara. Praktisk Betydelse: Chefer och ledare kan använda resultaten och slutsatserna från denna studie som handledning under deras process för implementation av webbaserad e-handel i business-tobusiness-företag. Originalitet/Värde: Denna studie bidrar med kvalitativ forskning angående vilka faktorer som påverkar den organisatoriska processen för implementation av webbaserad e-handel samt hur dessa faktorer skulle kunna hanteras. Rapporttyp: Examensarbete, avancerad nivå.

Texto completoResumen
Online transactions have been growing exponentially in the last decade, contributing to up to 11% of total retail sales. One of the parameters of success in online transactions are online reviews where customers have the chance to assign level of satisfaction regarding their purchase. This review system acts as a bargaining power for customers so that their suppliers pay more attention to their satisfaction, as well as benchmark for future prospective customers. This research digs into what actually causes customers to assign high level of satisfaction in their online purchase experience: Whether it is packaging, delivery time or else. This research also tries to dig into customer behaviour related to online reviews from three different perspectives: gender, culture and economic structure. Data mining methodology is used to collect and analyse the data, thus providing a reliable quantitative study. The end result of this study is expected to assist in marketing decisions to capture certain types of consumers who significantly place or purchasing decision based on online reviews.Entrepreneurship & Innovation Management

Texto completoResumen
In a fast-changing retail environment, including hard competition and demanding consumers, the customer experience of the purchasing service is crucial to gain a competitive advantage. Since consumers are to some extent moving from offline to online, and from desktop shopping to purchasing clothing in a mobile application, there is a need for investigating consumers expectations of their experience of a mobile application. The existing and performance of attributes and functions determines the satisfaction of the user experience, which is why it is reasonable to investigate expectations concerning attributes. The finding and classification of quality attributes in mobile applications in the fashion industry was the main goal of this thesis. Attributes were found using a qualitative study including 16 interviews, where respondents field tested already existing applications. The reasonability to further investigate these attributes was confirmed by a literature research. After finding 35 relevant attributes, these were investigated and analysed using the Theory of Attractive Quality and a 5-level Kano questionnaire. The analysis was conducted using the Theory of Attractive Quality, classifying attributes according to the Kano chart of evaluation. Further, each attribute was analysed using tools such as better/worse diagrams and self-stated importance values. The classification results from the questionnaire were that “Choose product size” was categorised as Must-Be, “Loading speed” as One-Dimensional, eight quality attributes were combinations of classifications, and 25 were classified as Indifferent. A number of 510 respondents answered the questionnaire. The classification of attributes implies that customers are rather indifferent to attributes during their shopping experience. However, further analysis concludes that even though many attributes are classified as Indifferent, many attributes need to be considered, according to the better/worse values and diagrams, which are useful regarding resource allocation. According to the classification and better/worse diagrams, one can distinguish a difference between genders: male respondents proved to be more indifferent to their shopping experience than females. Analysis of the data also shows a difference between age groups. The two youngest age groups including respondents born in 1990-1994 and 1995-2000, had higher better and worse values, implying that younger people expect more from their shopping user experience. Conclusively, this report resulted in an overview of consumers’ expectations regarding their experience when shopping in a fashion mobile application. The Theory of Attractive Quality is a useful method when measuring perceived and expected quality; however, each investigative occasion demands different method setup, adjusting for specific attribute types, as well as business. Some improvements can be made regarding the Theory of Attractive Quality, increasing the chances of a better result.

This first comprehensive study of New Zealand news media plagiarism proceeds from the observation that plagiarism, if not demonstrably increasing, is more common than many practitioners would care to believe. It affirms that, contrary to conventional opinion, plagiarism cannot be understood or dismissed simply or entirely as the product of dishonest or lazy journalists. The study findings support indications of an underlying culture of copying within news media organisations—a professional ideology encouraging, if not overtly justifying, copying, and discouraging clear authorship attribution. The findings emanate from responses to a survey distributed to all New Zealand’s journalists, followed by in-depth interviews with five journalists identified as having personal experience with aspects of the practice identified in the survey, and a sixth with a journalist against whom a complaint of plagiarism was upheld by watchdog body, the NZ Press Council. The research analysed the just four complaints related to plagiarism brought before the Press Council since its 1972 inception, as well as another five much-publicised examples of the practice written about in the news media, to the present day. Of the nine cases examined, three reflected the most serious type of dishonesty associated with Jayson Blair of the New York Times—calculated theft of words as well as outright interview fabrication. The others can be categorised in a perceived less blameworthy variety of plagiarism, bedevilled by confusion of terms and newsroom pressures. But because much run-of-the-mill plagiarism is likely to have gone unrecorded and unnoticed beyond the newsroom involved, the true extent of any sort of plagiarism here could not be judged. What was possible in this research, was to gauge a sense of prevalence by asking working journalists not of their own sins, but of their experience of being plagiarised by others. Suddenly the numbers of plagiarism cases rocketed, not in a usefully quantifiable way, but clearly demonstrative of an extent sufficient to warrant analysis of nature and origin. These experiences were set against an American model that identified four antecedents of plagiarism behaviour, two individual—journalistic rationalising of dishonesty and problematic techniques—and two situational—definitional ambiguity and reporter aversion to attribution. What became clear in these analyses was that, though all news media organisations view plagiarism very seriously, few if any acknowledge their own role in perpetrating the practice, that journalism is an industry that proceeds from an ideology of matching and copying.

Texto completoResumen
Den elektroniska handeln (e-handeln) har under den senaste tiden haft en stadig positiv utveckling som vi idag börjar se påföljder av. E-handeln leder till förändrade konsumentbeteenden som påverkar den fysiska handeln, i media pratas det om butiksdöden och hur de svenska stadskärnorna ger vika för e-handelns inverkan. Stämmer denna bild eller bör dessa påståenden om stadskärnornas död tas med en nypa salt? Detta väcker behovet av att undersöka vilka konsekvenser en ökande e-handel ger upphov till och hur stadskärnorna bör agera för att upprätthålla ett levande stadsliv. Därför blir studiens syfte att undersöka hur en fortsatt ökning av e-handeln påverkar lokala stadskärnor i Sverige. För att uppnå syfte och besvara studiens frågeställning inhämtades data genom tre intervjuer samt en undersökning av forskning kring e-handelns utveckling. Ett teoretiskt perspektiv fördes även in i studien genom att undersöka hur handelsplatser lokaliserar sig enligt centralortsteorin och gravitationsmodellen.Utifrån de scenarier som presenteras i resultatet (framtagna av Svensk Handel) för e-handelns framtida utveckling drar studien slutsatsen att första scenariot, där e-handeln följer Storbritanniens utveckling, är troligast att inträffa. Detta på grund av de logistiska utmaningar som fortfarande finns i Sverige. Resultaten tyder även på att stadskärnors attraktivitet kommer vara avgörande för dess framtida levnad. Genom att analysera valda teorier och olika marknaders storlekar undersöker studien stadskärnans optimala lokalisering och storlek för att konkurrera med e-handeln. Den medelstora marknaden, med 20 000 - 50 000 invånare, konstateras vara det optimala för att hantera de utmaningar som e-handeln innebär. Enligt studien kommer en stadskärna som fokuserar på att skapa ett mervärde för konsumenten, utöver fysiska detaljhandelsbutiker, vara framgångsrik. Studien konstaterar även att det kommer ske en omdefiniering av stadskärnan från att vara en handelsplats till en mötesplats. E-handeln sätter press på fysiska butiker att ta fram nya butikskoncept där också fastighetsägarnas agerande blir avgörande för stadskärnans konkurrenskraft.The growth rate of electronic commerce (e-commerce) has had a positive development recently and we are now starting to see the repercussions of it. E-commerce leads to a changing consumer behaviour that affects the physical trade, this is often brought up by the media as the retail death (or retail apocalypse) and that Swedish city centers give way to the impact of e-commerce. Is this a truthfully depicted picture or should these statements regarding the death of city centers be taken with a pinch of salt? This raises the need to further investigate the consequences of an increasing e-commerce and how the city centers should act to maintain a vibrant city life. Therefore, the purpose of this study will be to investigate the effects of an increased e-commerce on local city centers. To achieve the purpose and answer the questions of the study, data was gathered through three interviews as well as through a study of research on the development of e-commerce. A theoretical perspective was also brought into the study by examining how commerce locate according to the central place theory and the gravity model of trade.Based on the scenarios presented in the study (produced by Svensk Handel) regarding the future development of e-commerce the conclusion is that the first scenario, where the e-commerce follows Great Britain's development, is most likely to occur. The main reason for this is that Sweden faces logistics challenges that needs to be dealt with. The result also indicate that the attractiveness of city centers will be crucial for its future life. By analyzing selected theories and sizes of different markets, the study investigates the optimal location and size of a city center to compete with e-commerce. The medium-sized market, with 20 000 - 50 000 inhabitants, is found to be the most optimal size of market to manage the challenges that e-commerce entails. According to the study, a city center that focuses on creating added value for the consumer, in addition to physical retail stores, will be successful. The study also concludes that a redefinition of the city center will occur in which the city center will go from mainly being a trading place to a meeting place. E-commerce puts pressure on physical stores to develop new store concepts in which the actions of the property owners will have decisive impact on the competitiveness of city centers.

Texto completoResumen
L'informatique et Internet en particulier favorisent grandement la collecte de données à l'insu de l'utilisateur, leur divulgation à des tiers et le croisement des données. La densité des activités humaines dans le monde numérique constitue donc un terrain fertile pour de potentielles atteintes à la vie privée des utilisateurs. Les présents travaux examinent d'abord le contexte légal de la protection de la vie privée, ainsi que les divers moyens informatiques destinés à la protection des données personnelles. Il en ressort un besoin de solutions centrées utilisateur, lui donnant davantage de contrôle sur ses données personnelles. Dans cette perspective, nous analysons le cadre légal français et européen pour en tirer des axes de protection. Nous spécifions ensuite les contraintes tirées de ces axes, en proposant de les introduire dans les modèles de politiques de sécurité existants. Ainsi, nous suggérons l'application d'un seul modèle pour le contrôle d'accès et la protection de la vie privée. Le modèle de contrôle d'accès doit être étendu par de nouvelles conditions et paramètres d'accès. Pour cela, nous définissons le langage XPACML (eXtensible Privacy aware Access Control Markup Language) conçu sur la base d'extensions apportées au modèle de contrôle d'accès XACML. Placés dans un contexte E-Commerce, nous avons défini un modèle sémantique permettant de représenter les contextes liés aux différentes transactions électroniques. Ainsi nous avons pu effectuer une génération dynamique des politiques XPACML en fonction du contexte en cours. A la quête d'une protection étendue des données personnelles, nous avons consacré la dernière partie de nos travaux aux négociations possibles qui peuvent être effectuées entre un utilisateur et un fournisseur de service. Ainsi nous avons proposé deux protocoles. Le premier porte sur la négociation des termes et conditions des politiques de protection des données, alors que le deuxième porte sur la négociation des données à dévoiler elles mêmes

Texto completoResumen
In New Zealand, the highest incidence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) is found in meat processing, accounting for over half the injury compensation costs for the sector. This thesis reports on a two-year study of MSD in the New Zealand meat processing industry, with the aims of identifying MSD risk factors and interventions using an industry-level participative ergonomics approach. A review of the literature on occupational musculoskeletal disorders and participatory ergonomics identified gaps in knowledge, notably contextual factors for MSD and a limited scope for participatory ergonomics. The studies described in this thesis contribute to addressing these knowledge gaps. The first stage of the study established a profile of MSD injury data in the industry. Data were collected from four injury data sources for meat processing. A number of priority tasks were identified for beef and sheep processing, based on triangulation of these data, and findings were approved by the industry stakeholders, the Meat Industry Health and Safety Forum (MIHSF). The second stage of the study was the assessment of these tasks in a representative sample of processing plants, with the purpose of identifying risk factors that contribute to the occurrence of MSD, implementation barriers and MSD interventions. The study involved interviews with 237 workers, management, union and safety personnel in 28 meat processing sites. MSD risk factor data were separated into those concerning the high MSD-risk tasks (task-specific), and the wider work system (task-independent). From these data a list of contextual factors was developed which it is proposed may create conditions under which greater exposure to physical and psychosocial factors can occur in meat processing. Some 276 interventions were also identified. The third and final stage of the study involved working with the MIHSF in developing the interventions for use by the industry in reducing MSD risk. MSD intervention ideas were collated, summarised and prioritised. A document containing interventions, implementation barriers and risk factors was developed with the MIHSF and distributed to all levels of the industry. The thesis reflects on the effectiveness of an industry-level participative ergonomics approach to the achievement of the study aims, notably the identification of contextual risk factors and interventions for MSD.

Texto completoResumen
Efter att e-handelsandelen av detaljhandeln har ökat har en förväntad och grundläggande förändring inom detaljhandeln ägt rum. Den framtida rollen för traditionell butikshandel i den byggda miljön är oklar. Syftet med denna uppsats är att studera hur och i vilken utsträckning detaljhandelssektorn har och kommer att förändras när förutsättningar och strategier för detaljhandeln ändras. I uppsatsen undersöks också på vilket sätt stadsplanering kan användas i syfte att möta utvecklingstrender och säkra butikshandelns fortsatta verksamhet. Efter genomförandet av en teoretisk studie, granskning av två detaljhandelskärnar i Reykjavík och genomförande och analys av semistrukturerade intervjuer presenteras tio planeringsåtgärder i ett strategiskt förslag. De viktigaste resultaten visar på att butikshandeln och e-handeln har börjat knytas samman på flera sätt. I stället för att se på e-handeln som ett problem som stör status quo, bör den betraktas som en utmaning som, om korrekt hanterad, kan förvandlas till en möjlighet. Att säkerställa fortsatt stadsförnyelse, reglera balansen mellan olika typer av verksamheter samt att uppmuntra till kreativ användning av stadens lokaler och platser är bland resultaten i det strategiska förslaget. Även i en tid av sociala medier, artificiell intelligens och det till synes oändliga flödet av information, kvarstår behovet av social kontakt – kanske viktigare nu än någonsin.A foreseen fundamental change in retail following increased e-commerce share of retail sales has begun. The future role of traditional brick-and-mortar retail in the built environment is unclear. The aim of this thesis is to study how and to what extent the retail sector has and will change, in times of transforming retail practices, and by which means urban planning can be used for responding to the trend in order to ensure and sustain continued operations of brick-and-mortar retail. After carrying out a theoretical study, examining two retail cores in Reykjavík and conducting and analysing semi-structured interviews, ten planning actions are presented in a strategic proposal. The main findings suggest that brick-and-mortar retail and e-commerce have begun to merge in several ways. Rather than looking at e-commerce as a problem disturbing the status quo, it should be seen as a challenge that can be turned into an opportunity if handled appropriately. Ensuring ongoing urban regeneration, regulating moderate balance between operations and encouraging creative placemaking are among results listed in the strategic proposal. Even in the age of social media, artificial intelligence and the seemingly endless flow of information, the need of social contact remains – perhaps more important now than ever.

Texto completoResumen
I denna studie jämförs 14 kostnadsfria e-handelsplattformar utifrån funktionalitet som har identifierats för att öka försäljning och underlätta skalbarhet. För att betygsätta funktionernas påverkan för ökad försäljning respektive underlätta skalbarheten så har ehandlare inom nischen kläder och accessoarer låtits besvara en enkät. För att identifiera relevant funktionalitet till de två olika synsätten utgick forskarna från litteraturen. Det är utifrån dessa funktioner som sedan jämförelsen av e-handelsplattformarna och enkäten bygger på. Studien indikerar på att responsiv design och att kunna erbjuda sina kunder flera betallösningar är de två mest relevanta funktionerna för att nå en ökad försäljning. För att underlätta skalbarhet visar resultatet att det är relevant att kunna köpa till tillägg och teman. Sett till vilken e-handelsplattform som innehar mest relevant funktionalitet så ger studiens resultat indikationer på att Abantecart och OpenCart är de e-handelsplattformar som har den mest relevanta funktionaliteten för att öka försäljning och underlätta en framtida expansion.In this study 14 e-commerce platforms are compared based on their functionality. The functionality has been identified to increase sales and facilitate scalability. To rate the impact of the functions, e-tailors in the niche of clothing and accessories were asked to respond a questionnaire. To identify relevant functionality for both of the approaches, the researchers used literature. The functionality were used as a framework when comparing the 14 e-commerce platforms. This study indicates that all functions are not equal. Responsive design and multiple payment solutions are considered most critical and are directly linked to increased sales figures. For the e-retailers to achieve scalability, this study finds that purchasable add-ons and themes plays a big role. The e-commerce platforms were rated thanks to data collection and data analysis. Abantecart and Opencart both received high ratings regarding functionality and the ability to increase sales numbers and enable future expansions.

Texto completoResumen
Syftet med detta uppsatsarbete är att undersöka ifall större och mindre städer står inför olika utmaningar i och med den ökade e-handeln som skett under Covid-19. De metoder som använts är informationssök för att få fram vad tidigare forskning säger angående ämnet. Den tidigare forskningen berättar de utmaningar städer kommer stå inför i och med e-handeln. Det gjordes intervjuer för att få svar på studiens syfte och frågeställning. Intervjuerna skedde med personer som jobbade med stadsplanering och näringslivsutveckling. Det resultat vi fick från intervjuerna är att butiker är en avgörande faktor i att få en levande stadskärna. Den gemensamma utmaningen större och mindre städer står inför är därför att värna om butikernas existens i stadskärnan. Butikerna i större städers centrum har en annan förutsättning då de ofta konkurrerar med externa köpcentrum som erbjuder lägre priser och större utbud. Det är även vanligt i större städer att det är stora butikskedjor som bedriver det mesta av handeln i staden som invånarna inte känner lika stark relation till som de gör i de mindre städerna. I mindre städer så har invånarna ofta en stark relation med butikerna vilket gör att vissa butiker besöks ändå, trots sämre utbud och pris jämfört med e-handeln. Handeln ska även ses som en upplevelse för konsumenterna. Större och mindre städer har olika förutsättningar för att göra handeln till en upplevelse. Slutsatsen som kan dras från arbetet är att bevarandet av handeln i stadens centrum är avgörande för att behålla en levande stad. Större och mindre städer står även inför olika utmaningar för att hålla butikerna vid liv. Nyckelord: E-handel, stadskärna och stadsplaneringThe purpose of this study is to investigate if large and small cities will face the same challenges with the increased e-commerce we have seen during Covid-19. We startet the study with searching for information about our subject and got to know what previous studies showed. The studies showed that larger and smaller cities will face diffrent challenges duo to e-commerce. The method we used to get answer of our issue were interviews. The interviews were made with people who worked with city planning. The results we got from the interviews were that the stores were an deciding factor to keep a lively city center. The mutual challange large and small cities have is to keep the stores in the city center alive. The stores in large cities have other conditions compared to small cities. Stores in large cities are often outcompete by external shoppingcenters who can offer lower prices and a wider selection of products. It is also common that the stores in large cities are retail chains wich the customers don´t have any connection with, compared to small cities where the people values the stores more. It means that the residents will visit the stores although the smaller supplys and the higher prices. To shops in the city should be an experience. Large and small cities have diffrent prerequisites to make shoping a good experiance for the residents. The conclusion we make after the study is that keeping the stores alive is the most important thing for the cities. In keeping the stores alive large and small cities will face diffrent challenges. Keywords: e-commerce, city center and city planning.

Texto completoResumen
Dissertação de mestrado em Computer ScienceThe continuous social and economic development has led over time to an increase in consumption, as well as greater demand from the consumer for better and cheaper products. Hence, the selling price of a product assumes a fundamental role in the purchase decision by the consumer. In this context, online stores must carefully analyse and define the best price for each product, based on several factors such as production/acquisition cost, positioning of the product (e.g. anchor product) and the competition companies strategy. The work done by market analysts changed drastically over the last years. As the number of Web sites increases exponentially, the number of E-commerce web sites also prosperous. Web page classification becomes more important in fields like Web mining and information retrieval. The traditional classifiers are usually hand-crafted and non-adaptive, that makes them inappropriate to use in a broader context. We introduce an ensemble of methods and the posterior study of its results to create a more generic and modular crawler and scraper for detection and information extraction on E-commerce web pages. The collected information may then be processed and used in the pricing decision. This framework goes by the name Prometheus and has the goal of extracting knowledge from E-commerce Web sites. The process requires crawling an online store and gathering product pages. This implies that given a web page the framework must be able to determine if it is a product page. In order to achieve this we classify the pages in three categories: catalogue, product and ”spam”. The page classification stage was addressed based on the html text as well as on the visual layout, featuring both traditional methods and Deep Learning approaches. Once a set of product pages has been identified we proceed to the extraction of the pricing information. This is not a trivial task due to the disparity of approaches to create a web page. Furthermore, most product pages are dynamic in the sense that they are truly a page for a family of related products. For instance, when visiting a shoe store, for a particular model there are probably a number of sizes and colours available. Such a model may be displayed in a single dynamic web page making it necessary for our framework to explore all the relevant combinations. This process is called scraping and is the last stage of the Prometheus framework.
O contínuo desenvolvimento social e económico tem conduzido ao longo do tempo a um aumento do consumo, assim como a uma maior exigência do consumidor por produtos melhores e mais baratos. Naturalmente, o preço de venda de um produto assume um papel fundamental na decisão de compra por parte de um consumidor. Nesse sentido, as lojas online precisam de analisar e definir qual o melhor preço para cada produto, tendo como base diversos fatores, tais como o custo de produção/venda, posicionamento do produto (e.g. produto âncora) e as próprias estratégias das empresas concorrentes. O trabalho dos analistas de mercado mudou drasticamente nos últimos anos. O crescimento de sites na Web tem sido exponencial, o número de sites E-commerce também tem prosperado. A classificação de páginas da Web torna-se cada vez mais importante, especialmente em campos como mineração de dados na Web e coleta/extração de informações. Os classificadores tradicionais são geralmente feitos manualmente e não adaptativos, o que os torna inadequados num contexto mais amplo. Nós introduzimos um conjunto de métodos e o estudo posterior dos seus resultados para criar um crawler e scraper mais genéricos e modulares para extração de conhecimento em páginas de Ecommerce. A informação recolhida pode então ser processada e utilizada na tomada de decisão sobre o preço de venda. Esta Framework chama-se Prometheus e tem como intuito extrair conhecimento de Web sites de E-commerce. Este processo necessita realizar a navegação sobre lojas online e armazenar páginas de produto. Isto implica que dado uma página web a framework seja capaz de determinar se é uma página de produto. Para atingir este objetivo nós classificamos as páginas em três categorias: catálogo, produto e spam. A classificação das páginas foi realizada tendo em conta o html e o aspeto visual das páginas, utilizando tanto métodos tradicionais como Deep Learning. Depois de identificar um conjunto de páginas de produto procedemos à extração de informação sobre o preço. Este processo não é trivial devido à quantidade de abordagens possíveis para criar uma página web. A maioria dos produtos são dinâmicos no sentido em que um produto é na realidade uma família de produtos relacionados. Por exemplo, quando visitamos uma loja online de sapatos, para um modelo em especifico existe a provavelmente um conjunto de tamanhos e cores disponíveis. Esse modelo pode ser apresentado numa única página dinâmica fazendo com que seja necessário para a nossa Framework explorar estas combinações relevantes. Este processo é chamado de scraping e é o último passo da Framework Prometheus.

The purposes of this study are to investigate the differences in implementation of O2O business concept between Indonesia and other countries and to provide proper recommendations to help Indonesia’s O2O commerce better. The qualitative approach and a multiple-case studies method were utilized and used 75 of the O2O business concept cases from around the world and 10 of the O2O business concept cases from Indonesia. All cases were selected based on three determinants of the purchase at any time on ubiquinomics theory. Pattern matching technique of analysis was applied by combining some general analysis strategies such as the development of case description and rely on theoretical propositions. The findings of the study suggest that O2O business concepts in the purchase at any time on ubiquinomics theory are realtime service on the fraction time, gamification service on the prolong the stay time, and loyalty program service on the lock-in future users. Moreover, there is lack of O2O business concept implementation in Indonesia compared with cases from other countries. The results also suggest that Indonesia is quite familiar with O2O business concept, and there is high growth potential of O2O markets in Indonesia. The implication of this study is to be the foundation of O2O business concept implementation for O2O commerce in Indonesia and also for future studies in O2O commerce research area.
