Nanocrystalline Cr2O3 thin films were deposited on silicon wafers with (100) orientation by arc ion plating (AIP) technique at various negative bias voltages. By virtue of X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscope, and high-resolution transmission electron microscope, the influence of substrate bias voltage on the film growth process, microstructure, and characteristics was investig
Current trends in industrial automation are the need for customizable production, vertical integration, more advanced sensors and actuators, and shorter time to market. The currently used control systems and languages for control were developed with a more static production in mind. More flexible languages and tools are needed to get a more flexible production. The flexible graphical programming l
Children that are born later in the year are, based on previous studies, more likely to be diagnosed with a neuropsychiatric disorder (hereby NPD), which is a bit surprising considering that NPDs are considered to be primarily genetic disorders. The aim of our study is to test the hypothesis that there is a correlation between being born later in the year and an increased prevalence of referrals f
The purpose of this study was to explore the increased privatization that followed in the wake of New public management. The study was based on foster home business and foster home conditions, with the existence of different logics with sometimes contradictory requirements to explore how foster home experiences affect their choice to enter into agreements with municipal or consultancy-supported ac
Många entreprenörer och startup kommer till en punkt när de har slutfört utvecklingen av en produkt men flyttar sedan till den fas som är avgörande för en produkts framgång, marknadsföringsbiten. Stora investeringskostnader i kombination med osäkerheten om den utvecklade produktens marknadsvärde är orsaken till många produkters misslyckanden. Detta leder till att många nya produkter aldrig når marMany entrepreneurs and start-ups come to the point when they have finished the development of a product but then moves to the phase which is crucial for a products success, the marketing effort. Large investment costs combined with the uncertainty of the developed product's market value is the reason for many products failure. Thus, many new products never reach the market because of the lack
E-commerce is a rapidly growing phenomenon that constantly attracts new target audiences and finds new fields of application. Some products are popular in the E-commerce and others are considered hard to sell over the web. Even the products that are considered a hard sell over the web are getting more popular, and the E-commerce web sites are evolving to increase customer satisfaction. The E-comme
Compiler optimizations are typically implemented as a sequence of trans- formations, applied to some representation of source code. The problem of ordering these transformations in an optimal way is commonly referred to as the phase-ordering problem. Program Expressions Graphs (PEGs) are a code representation designed to get around this problem, by deferring the decision of which optimizations to
Syftet med studien var att undersöka föräldrars upplevelser av att leva med ett barn med undvikande/restriktiv ätstörning (ARFID). Utgångspunkten var föräldrarnas vardag samt vad som var viktigt för dem i relation till barnens ätstörning. Data samlades in genom att genomföra semistrukturerade intervjuer med sex föräldrar. Deras barn hade en pågående behandlingskontakt på en barn- och ungdomsmediciThe aim of this study was to explore the experiences of parents living with a child with an avoidant/restrictive eating disorder (ARFID). Experiences of the parents’ everyday life, and what was important to them in relation to their child's eating disorder, were explored. The study's epistemological position was critical realistic, and data was collected by conducting semi-structured inter
We aimed to map out the landscape of the Swedish mental health and wellness technology market in order to show that there is a growing community of mental health entrepreneurs focused on innovation, particularly in post-covid times. Prior to our work, the Swedish Mental Health Tech sector had not been mapped out or explored. We gathered information on Swedish Mental Health Tech businesses from pu
The project “ETT-Modular system for timber transport” investigates the possibilities of making logging shipments more effective, decrease their fuel consumption and road wear without compromising traffic safety. As part of this project a timber vehi-cle, the ETT-vehicle, that pulls four piles of timber, is 30 metres long, and has a gross combination weight of 90 tons, is tested on a distance betwe
The main purpose of this paper is to study sugar and its historical archaeology. And also give a wide picture on how one can examine a product with different sources as complement to the archaeological material. In combining archaeology with written sources show how you can get a wider picture on the history of sugar. Different aspects of sugar will be discussed in order to show that there are man
The main purpose of this study was to investigate young girls´ and boys´ socialization in sport involvement and what keeps them motivated do continue. This study is based on a qualitative method. I have interviewed three girls and three boys, all between 15 and 16 years of age. My main questions were; what kind of sports is he/she active in, who introduced him/her to sports, what keeps him/her mot
Utopian studies, and the word Utopia it self, have always been controversial. In common language utopia often connects to something negative, something impossible. Diverse academic disciplines have their own definition of the word and concept. These heterogeneous views of utopia complicate the discussion in the scientific community. The starting point of this study is to reach at better and more e
In October 2008, the Swedish government made a resolution about a testing period for advanced classes in some of the Swedish high schools. After about a year the Swedish minister of education, Jan Björklund, made a statement that he wished that the try with the so called elite classes be extended to the primary schools. The purpose of my paper it to analyse the Swedish debate about elite classes i
The adolescent experience has over the last twenty years differed immensely from earlier generations. Generation Z, born somewhere between 1995 and 2010, are what some would call ‘digital natives’, being the very first children to be brought up in a digital advanced world with easy access to information and inspiration through constant connection to the world wide web. This research draws in parti
Browning of water has increased over the last couple of decades on the northern hemisphere. Research show that possible drivers for this change are land use change, climate change, increased precipitation and increased temperatures. Browning of water can affect important interactions in the aquatic ecosystem which in turn can affect the whole structure of the ecosystem. Furthermore the loss of a t
This master’s thesis investigates the possibility of a new de-air concept for BorgWarners hydraulically actuated torque transfer couplings. De-airing of the hydraulic system is required to minimize the compressibility and ensure low response times. The current de-airing solution works well but limits the usable torque range of the couplings and produces a lot of noise. To meet increasingly demandi
Bakgrund: Arbetsterapeuter i kommunal verksamhet ses ofta som förskrivare av hjälpmedel i första hand, på bekostnad av andra hälsofrämjande åtgärder. De får ibland rollen som hjälpmedesleverantör eller brandsläckare men skulle vilja arbeta mer förebyggande och långsiktigt. Syfte: En ökad förståelse för hur arbetsterapeuter ser på sitt arbetssätt gällande förskrivningar av hjälpmedel - Hur beskriveBackground: Occupational therapists in municipality health care are often seen as prescribers of assistive devices first and foremost, at the expense of other health-promoting interventions. They are sometimes given the role of a provider of assistive devices or fire extinguisher but would like to work more preventively in the long-term. Aim: To get a better understanding of occupational therapist
