Transistor av materialet grafen. En av världens största uppfinningar är också den minsta av dom alla. Transistorn storlek är endast 1/5000 av ett hårstrå. Men låt inte detta lura er, tack vare denna smarta uppfinning utför din mobil mer och mer avancerade uppgifter. Transistorn sägs vara en av de största uppfinningarna i modern historia. Uppfinningen har nämnts i samma klass som bilen och telefoToday, transistors with 20 nanometer (nm) channel length are in mass production and many researchers believe that we are reaching a limit with downsizing conventionally used silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) [1]. To keep up with the trend of making the transistor smaller, new channel materials are studied, and graphene has come into the spotlight. Graphene became

In this study an argument analysis was used to examine the public discussions concerning the right-wing radical movements’ freedom of expression. The main purpose is to contribute with academic research to the on-going policy discussions. The study was conducted by analyzing how different debaters in media and the Nordic Resistance Movement (NMR) discuss freedom of expression and its legal limitat

The purpose of this thesis is to examine if it exists a relationship between gender diversity on the board of directors and firm performance and to answer if a legislated gender quota for corporate boards would affect the performance of Swedish public firms. The approach in this study is quantitative and conducted on 48 large cap companies listed on Nasdaq OMX Stockholm, during the time period 20

The autumn of 2015 constituted a major break with the prior migration regime in Sweden, as the government implemented temporary migration laws in order to curb the large-scale arrival of migrants, which had taken the authorities by surprise at the time. Following this, the question of migration has gradually to a greater extent come to be framed as a threat by government officials and the politica

In recent years the Swedish construction sector has enjoyed a literal building boom. This is the culmination of a growing population and lack of housing, construction is at its highest level in decades. Swedish contractors are simply not meeting the demand and numerous analysts have warned against the consequences of a crash in the construction sector. Industry interest organizations have suggeste

This thesis connects agricultural technology (ag-tech) within a Danish context to a world system of production in which rare earth elements (REs) play a crucial role. These elements are essential for modern technology. By applying the concept of machine fetishism this thesis investigates how ag-tech in Denmark is fetishized through political discourse. The concept of fetishism here signifies that

Rodrigo Roa Duterte was elected president of the Philippines in 2016. He launched a violent War on Drugs only one day after his assumption of the presidency. In his inaugural speech, Duterte described his adherence to the rule of law as uncompromising. At the same time, he has publicly promised to kill anyone who is involved in the drug business and encouraged the police and ordinary citizens to d

While the environmental justice movement has grown worldwide, it seems that the movement has yet to mobilise in South Africa. The instances of environmental injustices in South Africa are abundant but paradoxically this has not given rise to a united movement demanding environmental justice for a transition to a new and renewable energy path. This thesis explores the challenges of creating an envi

Nowadays, China has made great efforts to make international hotspot issues peacefully settled in Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. One challenge China faces on its road to global prominence is how to balance the increasing international responsibility and the established foreign policy principles that have been upheld for decades. The thesis attempts to answer why China sticks to the non-interfe

Antalet personer som lever med en kronisk sjukdom ökar, detta som en konsekvens av bland annat en snabbt ökande äldre befolkning. Kroniska sjukdomar orsakar inte bara mänskligt lidande, utan är också en ekonomisk börda för samhället. För att lindra lidandet och minska kostnaderna kopplade till kroniska sjukdomar kan användandet av digitala hälsotjänster vara en möjlighet. För närvarande är förvänt

Public-private partnerships (PPPs) as a form of contract farming are increasing in number across Sub-Saharan Africa; providing a potential solution to the threat of food insecurity and stimulant of economic growth. Yet, the perceived extent to which the operations of contract-farming PPPs include original smallholders – inclusivity - is often questioned. There is currently little evidence of the e

This study explores two intertwined stages: a) the various processes contributing to Turkey’s and Israel’s historical development of national self-images and security cultures, b) how these conflictual dynamics and processes playing themselves out vis-à-vis two key conflict resolution initiatives taken in both countries. In order to study these stages, ontological security theory is applied to gra

Credit risk is one of the largest risks facing a bank and following the Basel regulations, banks are expected to hold capital to protect themselves against credit risk. This thesis aims to evaluate models to calculate the capital requirement for credit concentration risk and compare them to the models suggested by Finansinspektionen. Credit concentration risk can be split into name and sector conc

To maintain a high position accuracy in robots is essential in today’s industry. Because of different factors, as for example wear and tear, the robots may need to be recalibrated after a while to maintain their high precision. Today the calibration can be costly. The robot is often sent away to be calibrated and will therefore cause stoppages in production, and if the calibration is performed in-
