“Fishing is not an escape from life, but often a deeper immersion into it...”

- Harry Middleton

A man was fishing at Mariager Fjord nearby Hobro one day. He

was standing still in the water, and the rod was barely seen from

the thick fog. The waves were pulsating quietly, like his breath in

the windless morning. It seemed nothing around bothered him.

He was waiting for the bite far away from the shore, while his

bait was floating peacefully underneath the water. Many kinds of

fish approached it: big, small, strange, uneasy, sluggish, gullible,

angry, fickle, rigid, afraid, anxious, and more that were unknown

to him. Which would take the hook eventually? It didn’t matter,

as he released them anyway after a short observation. After all,

he was aware: fish only pass by as the present moment.

What is [not] in the box?

There is always a little deeper breath in December. Regardless of the full shops, decorated streets and endless

Christmas songs on the radio, it seems more complicated to give any useful presents to our beloved ones than last

year. Sure, some of them are an easy hit, but what about the impossibles? How to surprise the forever unsatisfied

- or those who just have everything and need nothing? Let’s be honest: stress like this can easily ruin the whole

holiday spirit. No wonder, the grinchy voice becomes louder in our head and tempts us to buy useless trumpery just

to give something and get away without a qualm. Is it what the Christmas spirit is about: to measure love and care

in things? May pity indeed but nothing would be a perfect gift if we put aside the cynical smile for once and think

about it: nothing is minimalist and never out of fashion. It doesn’t harm your health and the environment. It lasts

forever and cannot be stolen, broken or lost. You can take it wherever, whenever you want. Nothing is also a good

idea for creative minds: it can be painted and decorated any way you like to make it more personal. Besides, it goes

well with a hug, kiss or anything else. Nothing is an honest gift and so much better than many things in life. If you’re

concerned about what to put under the Christmas tree, worry no more because at Fruugo we’ve got you covered

with the best nothing you can imagine: we’ll send you a fancy box with your brand-new nothing inside to have an

authentic present feeling for your lover, friends or family. For further information, please visit us and order it here.

Addiction?

Excerpts from the books In The Realm of Hungry Ghosts (2008) by Gabor Maté M.D ,

and Inside Rehab: The Surprising Truth About Addiction Treatment – And How to Get

Help That Works (2013) By Anne M. Fletcher.

I found it interesting how the term

addiction is defined: Both resources

originated differently: “The term’s

original root comes from the Latin

addicere, “assign to.””, while the other

explains “The word “addiction” comes

from a Roman law having to do with

“surrender to a master.” Today, which

basically means since the last century,

the definition of addiction is “Any repeated

behaviour, substance-related or

not, in which a person feels compelled

to persist, regardless of its negative impact

on his life and the lives of others.”

While in the time of Shakespeare it

meant “addiction referred simply to an

activity that one was passionate about

or committed to, gave one’s time to.”

As in the module was also mentioned,

addiction is classified as a disease, but

even AA cofounder Bill W. shied away

from the notion that alcoholism is a

disease. And seemingly many professors

follows: Dr. Vincent Felitti (Clinical

Professor of Medicine at the University

of California) wrote that “The current

concept of addiction is ill-founded.” He

was the chief investigator in a landmark

study of over seventeen thousand middle-class

Americans for Kaiser Permanente

and the [U.S.] Centre for Disease

Control, where he concluded that “The

basic cause of addiction is predominantly

experience-dependent during childhood,

and not substance-dependent.”

Lance Dodes (psychiatrist at the Harvard

Medical School Division on Addictions)

seems to be on the same page: “Addiction

is a human problem that resides in

people, not in the drug or in the drug’s

capacity to produce physical effects (...)”

Gabor Mate argues that “Addiction is a

complex condition, a complex interaction

between human beings and their environment.

We need to view it simultaneously

from many angles—or, at least,

while examining it from one angle, we

need to keep the others in mind. Addiction

has biological, chemical, neurological,

psychological, medical, emotional,

social, political, economic and spiritual

underpinnings”. And John Cacciola,

PhD (Associate Professor of Psychology

in Psychiatry at the University of Pennsylvania)

also mentioned: “The issue is

one of getting a multidimensional assessment.

In other words, if the questions

are all about drugs and alcohol

(how much you used and what you’re

going to do to stop using) and that’s it—

but you’re not asked about your family,

work, and psychiatric problems—that’s a

bad assessment.”

It doesn’t always turn out why one has

an e.g. a drinking problem: Is it because

of excessive stress at home or at work?

Whatever the cause is, the problem

probably stems from a traumatic experience

in the past. It turned out that she

had been in a treatment program and

had after-care, which had ended recently,

though it’s unclear which program

she had taken (12 steps or something

alternative). But maybe it doesn’t matter,

as Anne M. Fletcher mentions in her

book: A number of studies have shown

little or no difference between programs

implementing such “evidence-based

approaches” and those that do standard

“treatment as usual.” (According

to John Kelly, PhD, of Harvard Medical

School’s Center for Addiction Medicine

at Massachusetts General Hospital, the

term “treatment as usual” typically refers

to what goes on in addiction programs

when “counsellors choose what

they implement”, as they see fit, without

following a manual or sticking to

established clinical guidelines.”

Dear Emily,

”Woof, Meow... the language of love is wordless.”

- St. Jerome Animal Care & Service

I write as the representative of St. Jerome Animal Care & Service. I assume you are busy, so we all would like to thank you in advance for taking a few minutes

to read this letter; It may save lives.

Who we are

St. Jerome Animal Care & Service is a family-owned non-profit organisation in London. It was founded by my father Ace Ventura in 1992 who had a vision of

a place where the doors are always open for helpless pets in need.

What we do

My parents opened the shelter when they retired to give a second chance for the abandoned, abused or sickened animals and find a new home where they

are all appreciated. In the beginning, the place could care for 50 animals: comfortable space, food, medication if needed, and the most important thing of all:

love. 25 years later we have managed to help over 10,000 little fellas and 98% of them were adopted by loving and caring families. Of course, this success

would have not been made without help: Fortunately, over these years we have been blessed with devoted people who shared the same vision and helped the

cause voluntarily. Our ethos is that we never leave or say no to anyone from 0 to 8 legs in trouble – no matter what or when.

Our problem

Sadly, more animals end up on the streets because people seem to be more irresponsible over the years. So we had to work out a plan to cope with this

hapless demand by:

Upgrading the shelter to increase capacity (from 400 to minimum 500)

Expanding our services to other animals (snakes, spiders, fishes, birds)

Creating a course for the owners (ethics, treatment, care)

Training dogs for authorities and the handicapped

Making these upgrades would significantly help these animals to live a life they deserve. Unfortunately, we don’t have the funds to make this plan happen,

because we need sponsors. And this is where you and your company can help.

What we can offer to you

Our current budget is enough for maintenance, medicines, food, transport and other administrative costs. We believe your company is ‘compatible with our

vision, hence we would make great partners. To help our cause we need a minimum of £5,000 per year For this amount we can offer you:

Appreciation and recognition on social media and interviews

Possibility to name a room after your company

Your brand appears on banners on open days

Show your logo on our website and uniforms

Promotion of merchandise at main events

This offer is negotiable, and we are highly open to any ideas. Once again, we cannot express enough how grateful we are for considering our proposal.

Furthermore, we would like to invite you and your family/colleagues for our Open Day on 09.02.2019. This is an opportunity to meet and play with the animals.

It is fun for everybody. And who knows, maybe you’ll meet your newest friend here.

With warm regards,

Entrepreneur Isac Bloom provides IT

support and computer maintenance in

Portsmouth. His profession became duty

when faced with a personal emergency

back in 2017. A year earlier, Isac

was a 26-year-old fresh graduate from

the Imperial College, London. With his

computer science diploma, he wanted to

find a proper job, marry to his girlfriend

and settle down in a quiet town to live

a peaceful life. He moved and found a

job at a Portsmouth IT support startup.

Isac bought an engagement ring for

his girlfriend Kayla from his first salary,

and proposed to her on the first night

they moved together. Not long before

their wedding day, his fiancée Kayla

became ill from a rare kidney disease.

So, hospitals and other institutions

were left with an unsecured IT support

package in Portsmouth. Because of

the virus, the list of potential donors of

organs was inaccessible and the doctors

were helpless when they told Isac

the news. Although he knew about the

cyberattack, Isac could do nothing to

help the hospital and Kayla. It was too

late to save the computers and recover

the data. It was only luck that Isac’s

blood type matched Kayla’s. And he

was able to offer his kidney to her. So,

Kayla was saved and cured. They went

home, and after a short delay, they

got married at Portsmouth Cathedral.

After the ordeal, Isac wanted to prevent

others from such an experience like his.

Lying in a hospital bed, waiting for an organ

transplant. Despite the ominous diagnosis,

doctors at the Queen Alexandra

Hospital should have been able to cure

Isac’s bride-to-be. 2017 was also the year

when at least 25 NHS hospitals in the UK –

including the Queen Alexandra Hospital

in Portsmouth - were cyberattacked by a

ransomware known as Wanna Decryptor.

This virus corrupted computers

with outdated Windows XP and paralysed

the IT systems causing headaches

for doctors and endangering the lives

of patients like Kayla, though NHS was

aware Microsoft had stopped providing

updates for Windows operating systems.

Learning from the past he acted fast, and

established his tech company to help

those who need Portsmouth business

IT support, and other computer- based

security services like cybersecurity and

cloud computing. His team provides

support for schools, hospitals, and businesses

in the public sector. The company

works with several computer repairs

in Portsmouth and in other cities. If we

can learn anything from this story, it is

that we should take seriously information

technology from now on. And take

care of our computer either for corporal

or personal use, because who knows:

One day, lives might could depend on it.

How to achieve customer loyalty?

Marketing specialists, economists, and academics have been trying to define and predict

consumers’ behavior from the last century until today. In the 50s it was already described

that loyal customers are the main source to do advertising in a market as a way of wordof-mouth

publicity (Brown, G.H. 1952), which can be seen as accurate for that time, but

regarding the following research papers and studies presented in this project, it seems the

ways to achieve loyal customers are based on various internal and external factors (Rayruen,

Miller, 2007) from both sides.

Definitions

Because customer loyalty has been studied for decades, there are several definitions on

what exactly this phenomena means. Sallberg (2004) in her publication collected six different

definitions on customer loyalty to show how this phenomena were defined in the 90s:

Source

Definition

Customer Satisfaction

As it was mentioned before, customer satisfaction plays a significant role in customer loyalty

because it seems loyalty is evolving from satisfaction which is influenced by the perceived

quality and perceived value as it is presented below.

Stages to achieve customer loyalty

Customer satisfaction is defined by Kotler (2010) as a consumer’s feeling of pleasure/disappointment

resulting from comparing a product’s perceived performance in relation to its

expectations. In online marketing, the term satisfaction refers to the customer’s judgment

of their internet experience as compared to their experience with traditional offline service

providers or retail stores (Tan & Tung, 2009). Therefore it is important for online service

providers to understand their customers’ perceptions of them because the reflection of

satisfaction and pleasure defines the level of customer satisfaction towards the given online

service provider. Arora (2013)’s model shows a relation as well between actual and expected

satisfaction outcomes:

Definitions of customer loyalty

According to Sallberg’s (2004) findings, the six definitions above share the factor of purchasing,

meaning that customer loyalty is related with the act of purchasing. As it is presented

above, some factors like “attraction to a brand”, “repeat patronage”, “purchase frequency”

and “continuity” are all connected and play a significant role in customer loyalty.

In another study, Oliver (1999) defined loyalty as a deeply held commitment to re-buy or

re-patronise a preferred product or service in the future. Inamullah (2012) defined customer

loyalty as the willingness of a consumer to purchase the same product or service, and keep

the same profitable relationship with a particular company.

Customer loyalty?

It seems a common agreement on the importance and key role of customer loyalty in current

market situations (Lin, Wang 2006) but It still seems difficult to understand the key

psychological factors that make a customer loyal towards a company product or service

(Chen, Hu 2010). It has been argued that once a company understands its customers’

mindset then they can make a long lasting profitable relationship, which can automatically

make them loyal (Inamullah 2012). However, the measurement of loyalty is still the most

effective if we can observe a given company’s customer and its buying behavior towards

the firm product or service and how it gives preference and also suggests to others in their

environment (Kim, Yoon, 2004). In their research, Bagram and Kahn (2012) tried to find

the key role of consumer behavior and consumer attitude towards customer loyalty. They

concluded that Perceived Value (PV), Perceived Quality (PQ) are the main key factors to

achieve customer loyalty.

• Perceived Quality (PQ) - Perceived quality is one of the critical elements in consumer

decision-making. Optimally, they compare the quality that company “A” offers against its

competitors regarding the price of a given product or service (Jin and Yong, 2005). Zeithaml

(1988a) argues that perceived quality is not necessarily the actual quality of brands or

products but the consumer’s judgement about a product’s or service’s overall excellence.

This judgement is usually based on intrinsic and extrinsic informal cues which in his other

research had defined by Zeithaml (1988b): The intrinsic cues are related to the product’s

physical characteristics such as its appearance, performance, features, reliability, conformance,

durability and serviceability. While the extrinsic cues are price, brand name, brand

image, company reputation, manufacturer’s image, retail store image and the country of origin.

So these quality informational cues collectively play a significant role that influence and

creates customer satisfaction, which leads to customer loyalty later on (Bagram & Kahn).

• Perceived Value (PV) - Similarly to Yee (2011), the term “value” is referred to in this project

as a judgement of preference by consumers. According to Zeithaml (1988b), perceived

value is the customer’s overall assessment of a product or service based on its perception

of what is given and what is received. Stonewall (1992) defined value as a collective of

product features, quality terms, service, delivery and price. But he noted that consumers will

consider something valuable by their own terms. Yee (2011) determines value as the function

of overall quality and price of a company’s products or services compared to its competitors.

Bagram and Kahn (2012) argues that consumer satisfaction is only achievable if

company “A”’s customers bear fewer costs and get more benefits from a product or service.

Which means there are two ways to approach consumer satisfaction: Either reducing costs,

or increasing benefits. They defined four types of benefits (product benefit, service benefit,

personnel benefit and image benefit) and four types of costs (monetary cost, psyche cost,

time cost and energy cost) which they prioritized product benefit as the more important but

also stated that importance is based on a product’s or service’s own nature and the target

segment, so it is advised for companies to decide by themselves which factor is more important

for their customers (Oliver, Swan, 1989).

The findings of Bagram & Kahn (2012) also show that customer satisfaction has more

contribution for customer loyalty than customer retention, which allows me to conclude that

customer satisfaction plays a significantly bigger role in terms of loyalty if a company pays

more attention to the value (the balance of costs and benefits which favours the customer)

and the quality (intrinsic/extrinsic informal cues) they propose for their customers. In

another study, Kotler (1994) stated the significant concept that the key to customer retention

is customer satisfaction. Therefore, the customer satisfaction phenomena need to be

researched to see what factors influencing the Perceived Quality and Value by customers

which eventually would lead to customer loyalty.

Actual and expected satisfaction outcomes

Regarding the statement above, to be able to potentially reach loyalty, an online service

provider should not only provide the same experience as its customer would expect it in a

“traditional offline” platform, but the firm should even exceed those expectations to reach

customer loyalty. Frederick (2000) also considered the importance of the relationship between

satisfaction and loyalty and found it applicable for e-commerce businesses. Another

aspect of why customer satisfaction is important for (e-commerce) companies, as Rust and

Zahorik (1993) stated, is that greater satisfaction among customers would increase the

intent to repurchase while decreasing the perceived need to switch online service providers,

thereby increasing customer repurchase and ultimately enhancing profitability of the

organization, while a high level of satisfaction provides the customer with repeated positive

reinforcement that would create commitment and loyalty.

Trust

Building up trust in customers is said to be a critical success factor for businesses (Bryant

et al., 2002). Studies have shown that the customer’s trust towards the service provider

correlates with the amount of satisfaction they gain from the transaction (Razzaque et al.,

2003). In physical shops, it is easier for the business to gain trust because the direct contact

and the first-hand experience of the product or service provides the customer with a sense

of security. In e-commerce, on the contrary, the lack of trust is supposedly the main obstacle

since missing out on personal interaction with the service provider affects the confidence of

the potential buyer in following through with the online exchange. (Rexha et al., 2003) There

are more aspects in online purchases that would induce distrust in the customer, such as

not knowing if the acquired item has the expected quality that was stated on the website or

if the business delivers on time, moreover they have to trust the business with their sensitive

personal data, such as delivery address and credit card number, in order to complete the

transaction. Therefore, looking into ways of building up a so-called e-trust is very important

for online businesses. The three principal components of trust were identified by Kim et

al. (Lee et al., 2007), which are ability, benevolence and integrity. Showing up these three

aspects can be a passport to the highly appreciated customer trust, which eventually contributes

to both loyalty and commitment. (Pratminingsih, 2013)

Commitment

(Morris & Swait, 2008) define commitment as a desire to continually invest in a relationship

by willingness. Some researchers (Garbarino & Johnson, 1999), (Heidt 201014) stated that

commitment - as the most important attitudinal measure - is a significant indicator of loyalty.

The reason for that is commitment often indicates either an emotional or psychological

attachment towards a specific brand or a product. Commitment between customer and a

firm - regardless if it is an e-commerce or offline company (Fullerton 2005) - is important

to maintain a healthy business relationship, because if it lacks, the relationship would not

sustain and eventually debase the satisfaction between involved parties (Garbarino & Johnson,

1999). In the study, Pratminingsih (2013) determined a customer’s orientation toward

a relationship is based on both emotional bond (affective aspect) and on the conviction that

remaining in the relationship (cognitive aspect). So commitment acts as antecedents of

repeated repurchase behaviour (Luarn & Lin, 2003) which, as previously stated, helps to increase

customer satisfaction. And Fullerton (2005) stated that e-commitment has an impact

on e-loyalty. Therefore, it allows me to conclude that the dynamics of commitment operates

the same way online and as well offline if the cognitive and affective aspects are optimal.

Customer Experience (CX)

As it was mentioned before, A customer experiences his or her journey on the internet

as he or she would expect in an offline environment. Researchers had acknowledged the

importance of customer experience there is still no consensus on what exactly customer

experience is constituted of, but Mahr demonstrated that the physical, social and cognitive

dimensions are often used to conceptualize the customer experience (Mahr, et, al., 2019).

Though there have been proposed several ways by scholars to measure CX, but all of them

seemed incorrect due to focus on a single dimension (Siqueira et al., 2020). Grewal et al.

(2011) concluded that if a firm provides superior experience to its customers then it will affect

positively customer behavior e.g. higher customer satisfaction, more frequent shopping

and larger buying will which are all key elements of customer loyalty. Similar conclusions

were obtained by Fernandez & Cruz (2016), who confirmed the positive effects of good

customer experience such as loyalty, satisfaction and word-to-mouth advertising. In another

study, Tapar et al. (2017) showed that well maintained customer experience has positive

effects on customer satisfaction that also influenced positively commitment and revisit intentions.

Some researchers like Klaus and Maklan (2013) also recognized the relationship

between customer experience and customer loyalty. They also proposed that CX is even

more efficient in indicating and predicting customer loyalty than - as previously mentioned

- customer satisfaction. Fernandes and Pinto (2019) also found positive relations between

good CX and relationship quality and customer retention.

Cognitive Experience

A cognitive experience can be described as the conscious mental process such as thinking,

using creativity or problem-solving that allows a consumer to rethink their assumptions or

expectations about a product or service (Schmitt, 2010). In their paper, Pekovic & Rolland

(2020) stated that even today, there is still a little amount of research that examined how

consumers perceive their experiences cognitively. They also observed that most customer

experience studies have focused primarily on affective evaluations of experiences which

seemed relevant rather at the start of the customer experience instead of cognitive evaluations

of experiences, which - as it suggested by Kranzbuhler et al., (2017) - might become

more relevant and significant in later stages when the customer gains more information.

Customers are usually driven by rational and cognitive experiences when they, e.g. interested

in goal-oriented shopping, or set expectations towards a product or service. These

goal oriented customers are more likely to consider price and quality of a product as their

prior determinants of their customer experience than impulsive customers (Pekovic & Rolland

(2020).

Brown, G.H. (1952), “Brand Loyalty: Fact or Fiction,” Advertising Age, June, 53-55.

List of references

There are six dimensions defined in Pekovic and Rolland’s (2020) journal which are affecting

customer experience. These dimensions are Emotional experience, Sensory Experience,

Social Experience, Behavioral Experience, Technological Experience and Cognitive

Experience. Each dimension has its own peculiarity, but Havir (2017) argues that they also

exhibit similarities in a way. Some research showed and agreed on that alternative configurations

of various dimensions could lead to superior performance including CX (Delmas &

Pekovic, 2018),Pekovic and Rolland’s (2020):

Emotional Experience

Emotions play a significant role in the act of consuming (Westbrook & Oliver, 1991) thus we

can say that emotions impact the perception of customer experience and could potentially

provide effects and predictions of consumer behavior such as customer preferences, evaluations,

recommendations and purchase and revisit intentions (Westbrook, 1987). Generally

speaking, emotions that are present at the moment of consumption provide antecedents of

loyalty and an affective experience influences loyalty more directly as well as affect commitment

(Dube & Menon, 2000), (Iglesias et al. 2011). And Ou and Verhoef (2017) present

that emotions influence the effectiveness of loyalty: negative emotions harm loyalty, while

positively received customer equity could amend loyalty.

Sensory Experience

Sensory experience is related with the shopping environment: the atmosphere, the brand,

the products, the services and everything that cause aesthetic pleasure, excitement or

satisfaction (Gentile et al., 2007). In other words, all the five human senses (sight, smell,

sound, taste and touch) are each-by-each connect us to an experience, and they collectively

form a sensory experience (Hulten et al., 2009). Some researchers suggest that customer’s

judgement is influenced by sensory experience, e.g. people tend to stay longer in

a pleasant environment and could generate positive behavioral intentions and might cause

customer retention as well as drive customer loyalty directly. (Pekovic & Rolland (2020).

Behavioral Experience

The reason to take a Behavioral approach is either to record customers’ participation in the

service process, or to capture moments when they devote effort to the process of service

creation as far as they participate in consuming and producing value (Dabholkar, 1990).

If customers feel involved and co-producing, they are more likely to share new ideas and

problems with the given firm (Chen et al. 2011). This is due to the argumentation of Ranjan

and Read (2014) who suggest that co-production involves a cooperative act of satisfaction

for the customer because they provide resources and effort to support a process. Thus

co-productive behavior not only influences their engagement toward a brand but also effectively

predicts customer satisfaction and loyalty. (Ranjan & Read, 2014).

Social Experience

Gentile et al. (2007) describe social experiences emerging from social contexts and relationships

that are present during consumption processes. This means for example that employees

in a physical shop could affect customer experience through their behavior. Garg et

al. (2014) goes even further and suggests that frontline employees are the main influencers

of customer experience in case of employee-customer interaction, which can support the

development of customer loyalty. In Lemmink and Mattsson’s (1998) paper show that when

customer’s expectations are unmet and have a negative customer experience, but then

perceived positive attitude e.g. warmth or empathy from an employee, the outcome still can

be perceived positively and still could obtain loyalty as also Nysveen et al. (2013) argue.

Technological Experience

Verhoef et al. (2009) argues that technology-based services and delivery systems are

integrated to shopping - especially for e-commerce companies - therefore technological

experience should be a key element of customer satisfaction. However, the relationship between

CX and technology has not been investigated enough yet (Pekovic & Rolland (2020),

though Gilboa et. al (2019) have listed how firms apply new technology to improve customer

experience e.g. virtual reality and AI based customer service bot that operates 24/7 which

adds value to the shopping experience. A human-computer interaction research also affirms

that when people use technology for the intention of consumption, it also affects their overall

experience (Borsci et al., 2015). Another research also shows that online experiences could

online experiences influence customer loyalty through cognitive dimension, satisfaction, or

purchasing intentions (Brun et al., 2017).

Brief history History of psychedelics

of Psychedelics

in western Medicine medicine

The use of herbs for both external and internal

healing has existed since ancient times. Meanwhile,

people of that age learned about each plant and its

healing effects.

Cases of the use of hallucinogens have been known

since the time of the ancient tribes, but these

types of plants could only reach civilized Europe

after colonization. Before the Victorian era, opioid-containing

plants were already consciously but

intuitively used in Europe to treat certain ailments

and problems. After this period, in the late 19th

century, a German pharmacist became acquainted with

the so-called peyote cactus, from which mescaline

could be extracted.

DMT

Indigenous people have used DMT for healing and transformation for ages,

and more lately, science is confirming this. In a recent assessment on the anti-depressant

properties of 5-MeO-DMT, researchers from Johns Hopkins discovered

that use of the substance led to dramatic improvements in wellbeing;

among 362 people, around 80% of participants reported reductions in anxiety

and despair. Another rat study discovered that DMT microdosing also resulted

in beneficial changes with anxiety and depression.

High curiosity was shown in this topic until the

1920s and a German pharmaceutical company synthesized

and patented the MDMA which was then shelved

until the mid-1950s. Meanwhile, synthetic mescaline

has been produced and recommended throughout Europe

and North America.

Over the next 10 years, synthetically produced mescaline

is available and the effects of a fungus

growing on a rye plant are reported, and then patented

and sold as LSD-25 by the end of the decade.

The more serious use of these agents really started

in the 1940s. It was initially used in psychiatric

cases or in people with schizophrenia. Conclusions

were drawn and LSD was given as an antidepressant to

patients with schizophrenia. By the end of the year,

this drug was taken to the United States, resulting

in significant activity over the next 10 to 20 years.

During the 1950s, psychedelics went a long way

around the world, including a variety of therapeutic

treatments, including alcoholism, migraine, writer’s

block, frigidity, sexual perversion, pathological

gambling, immaturity, character disorder and

psoriasis, homosexuality, etc. The drug also experienced

popularity and in some places also experienced

a ban. There have been many attempts to combine and

administer the agents.

In later years, research, applications, and discoveries

took place at the same rate, until it became

illegal in most places. It was then that its popularity

declined and slowly, but surely people became

dismissive over the years due to the strong influence

of the media and press.

Nowadays, researchers already have much more accurate

information, and it seems that dealing with

psychedelics and their use are experiencing a renaissance

and are becoming more and more popular,

possibly due to growing population diseases such as

everyday stress, anxiety, depression, loneliness,

and so on.

LSD

Lysergic acid diethylamide, commonly known as LSD, is a fungus species that

parasitizes grains and a plant derivative. barely visible with the unaided eye. In

the 1950s and 1960s, many human experiments were carried out in America;

they are still utilised today for amusement, as well as in psychological and psychiatric

issues. It has a hallucinatory effect that is comparable to mescaline’s.

When a person sees colours, their perception of those colours becomes reality.

For instance, seeing the colour blue is obviously connected with the cold; while

under the influence of LSD, it is possible that the person starts to shiver. This

is one of the most unusual consequences that this drug may have. It does not

result in brain damage. The positive effects of the constant are reported in

many places.

Psilocybin

Psilocybin or its derivative, psilocin, are present in more than 180 kinds of

mushrooms, and Mesoamerican spiritual and religious rites have traditionally

used the fungus. They are also among the most well-known and often used psychedelics

in the United States and Europe. But psilocybin mushrooms are not

merely a drug or a religious ritual: Cluster headaches, obsessive-compulsive

disorders, anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and addiction are

just a few of the conditions and disorders they have been used to treat in therapeutic

settings. Recent resurgence in research into psilocybin’s therapeutic

effects is also yielding encouraging results.

A woman was performing a poem to the cashier. When she finished,

she took her stuff and left. The line was moving towards. Some people

gave notes to the cashier, who smiled and then served them.

When I asked for bread and coffee and the cashier responded:

‘Do you know any poem? Write it down and get your coffee gratis.’

I wrote the only poem I knew on a napkin:

FRANCOIS am I, — woe worth it me!

It was short and a bit incorrect, but the cashier was smiling. So

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT

Optimization of employee life-cycle

priorities when choosing a workplace (age 20-21)

I was a project consultant intern at the company which struggled with recruiting

engineers, and wanted also optimize the pre- and on-boarding processes

within their organization. To find solution to their problem, our team

used exploratory research methodology to have a deeper understanding

in human resources management, and mapped out the best practices at

other successful corporations. After that, we reached out to our networks

and looked for engineers to make interviews about their job preferences,

and asked them if they remembered their on-boarding period to find out

what worked and didn’t work for them. This helped us designed the right

questions for the internal interview with freshly hired employees at PR.

Thanks to their insights, we got a clear picture how a company with similar

domain should attract and treat their employees to maintain well-being at

the workplace.

employee benefits you think is important (age 20-21)

Affinity diagram from internal interviews

Findings

The internal interviews showed that employees in general

feel good at the company, but the communication

between newly hired employees and their managers

could be more effective with some optimization and

scheduling while they are on the preboarding stage.

From the collected data, it was clear that other priorities

and benefits have a big role when choosing a workplace

besides salary: We conducted a survey among electric

engineer students at Aarhus University to find out what

the new generation of engineers would prefer and could

influence their decision:

• Freedom with responsibility

• Workflow

• Social environment of the workplace

• Lunch scheme

• Mentoring

• Social gatherings after work

Handbook for managers

PR electronics is present at several

countries around the globe, so we created

a handbook which present standardized

guides for managers to help

them with the hiring and on-boarding

processes to not miss anything during

the time.

The book has 24 pages filled with

guides, tips and templates for different

tasks that the managers need to keep

in mind. It also gives suggestions for an

optimal welcoming gift for the newly

hired employees based on research. The

layout follows the design manual of the

company and keep its brand identity.

Home wine tasting

This is my internship and bachelor project at Pannonvin which is a webshop in Denmark selling

Hungarian wines and holding wine tasting events in Randers. That time was the quarantine period

through the Covid-19 pandemic when every social events were closed and nobody knew when

they open again, thus the company lost one of its channels and revenue stream. My task was

to find a sustainable alternative to optimize the business model. The idea was to bring the wine

tasting events into the customers’ home and educate themselves with the given materials on the

wine and its culture. To test the concept, I organized a focus group with different demographics and

conducted two surveys to see before and after effects of the event. I designed a leaflet that gives

information about the wines’ characteristics, and see how the Hungarian wines compare to other

wines from Spain, Italy and France in similar price range with blind test. The results were positive

and based on their answers, they increased their knowledge on wines after the experience.

said to be a Hungarian invention and seemed unknown on the

Danish market, so I applied the leaflet idea from before and

took it to the bars for testing the product and concept when

the restrictions were loosed. The results were positive among

internationals and among Danish who had been familiar with

the Hungarian culture.

Opening new channels

Co-working space

I was trying to find a viable solution for the following problem statement: How might I help

Pannonvin open its physical shop on the Danish market in a way that is appealing to its

target audience while stabilizing the business model due to Covid-19?

How Covid-19 has changed the workflow?

Findings from survey

Randers is a city in East Jutland with

62,482 inhabitants, which makes it Denmark’s

6th largest city. In East Jutland,

Randers is the second-largest city after

Aarhus.

The city has educations within primary

and lower secondary schools, private

and independent schools, special

schools, continuing schools, preparatory

educations, youth educations, vocational

educations and higher educations which

are closed right now but the education

still continues online.

There are two higher-educational institutions

In 200 m radius: One is Pædagoguddannelsen

i Randers and the

other is VIA University College Campus,

Randers. This gives a possibility to aim

and reach a different audience than the

defined one of Pannonvin.

Here came up the idea that we should

rethink the wine bar concept and think in

a hybrid model which could operate as

a café/bar and co-working space at the

same time.

The survey was filled out by 35 respondents

who were female (66%), male

(32%), and one who preferred not to

share its gender (1%) – aged between

20-51 (The majority were between 20-29

(71%)). More than half (57%) of them

are currently students, almost 28% are

working full-time and slightly more than

8% work as a freelancer, 5.7% work parttime

and only one stated that they are

unemployed. The average working hour

per day was mostly stated by 6 hours

(20%) and 8 hours (22.9%) which means

the average working hours per week is

from 30–40 hours.

Almost 90% (88.6%) said their workflow

was influenced somehow by Covid-19

and most of them appointed between

5 (22.9%) and 6 (28.6%), and some of

them marked 9 (14.3%) on a 1-10 scale

where 1 meant less influence and 10

meant complete change. The majority

(91.6%) determined the strength of influence

from 5 points, which means the

effect of Covid-19 had reached Denmark

as well as the other nations worldwide.

In the next question I asked them if

they had tried alternative places to work

during the Covid-19 period where the

majority chose home (60%), then the

library (22.9%) and café (20%). Also,

22.9% said it was not necessary. Then I

asked them which was the most comfortable

and effective in their opinion. The

most comfortable place to work seems

to be home (63.6%), but only 47.1% of

them thought it was the most effective

too. The second most comfortable place

to do work is the library with 24.2% and

this number increased to 35.3% when

they judged it by productivity and effectiveness

view. The third most comfortable

place is café with 9.1% and slightly

increased (11.8%) in effectiveness.

Branding

The logo and the

brand identity

of Kage was

also based on

research, and

was optimized

to the target audience’s

taste. The

research was

evaluated by A/B

testing method

that consisted of

testing in parallel

two different

versions of logos

with similar domains

(restaurants

and cafés).

Therefore, the

logo of Kage

was designed

after the two

most preferred

logotypes, and

colour schemes

that were used

in banners,

menus and other

features.

When they were asked if they could

imagine working in the same place as

now (at the time of answering), 45.7%

responded with “yes”, 22.9% said “no”,

and 31.4% answered with “maybe”.

People tend to use their laptops (85.7%),

phones (62.9%) and desktop computers

(31.4%) for their work. And the next

question was referred to the objects and

environment they see around their working

station (desk)

Flyer for cakes

Flyer for wines

At last, they were asked if they could,

would they do their work/tasks in a café/

bar environment, which respects their

working space and has special offers.

42.9% of the respondents stated “yes”,

25.7% said “no” and 31.4% answered

with “maybe”.

20


The MVP for Kage

The majority prefers an aesthetically pleasing, modern, comfortable and flexible atmosphere while working regardless of age. These features were described as customizable space for every employee

(an optimal space would start from 7 square meters). A modern workspace or design means flexible layouts like movable tables and objects and dividers, sit-stand desks and biophilia design with natural

lightning, which means employees prefer indoors plants or a green zone near their physical place to contribute to human health. Based on these insights, I modelled an MVP that satisfies these needs.

I made these works as a graphic design intern at Forthright

advertising agency in Athens. It was fun because the types

of clients and tasks varied from each other: Designing maps

for a tourist agency, posts and banners for companies’ social

media feed themed mostly in fashion, dog food, cleaning

and anti-virus software. Besides these tasks, I also made

logos for hotels, restaurants, cardiology and plastic surgery.

There is a campaign in every March called National Nutrition Month. Its purpose is

to emphasize the importance of: consuming fewer calories, getting daily exercise and

making informed food choices. It can be an optimal occasion to call attention to organic

food consuming. Therefore. creating a banner for the greens on the shelves would describe

what vegetable are good for. It would be placed next to the actual product,

and/or in the magazine they send out to households. This campaign would inform

consumers about the vitamins, minerals and other nutrients in their food and diet.
