Nanowires are promising structures for improving light absorption due to their enhanced optical properties compared to bulk materials. Silicon is a suitable semiconducting material for driving water splitting in a photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell, and is particularly attractive due to its small bandgap as well as its relative abundance and low cost. PEC cells can be enhanced by including silicon na
Hur speglar användbarhetsproblem den upphandlade kravställningen? Vad är det viktigaste att kravställa inom digitala verksamhetssystem och hur görs det på bästa sätt? Det är frågorna som detta projekt har undersökt genom att utvärdera ett digitalt verksamhetssystem i två olika kommuner i Sverige. Genom intervjuer, enkätundersökningar, och utvärdering av upphandlingsdokumenten undersöktes hur kommu
Purpose: To understand the key principles that enable brands to construct long-term marketing campaigns, helping communicate, maintain, and build brand identity. Design/Methodology: This study uses a case study approach by conducting content analysis of Dove’s 20-year self-esteem campaign. The analysis is supplemented by a qualitative survey of Dove’s Nordic brand management team in order to conte
This study examines the mechanisms behind the gender gap in equity-based start-up funding within the Information and Communication Technologies sector in Sweden and contributes to discussions on gender equality by presenting strategies for fostering inclusive access to equity-based capital. The analysis is guided by the following three research questions: (RQ 1) Does gender affect Swedish entrepre
As the life expectancy continues to increase in Sweden, with an estimated increase of 5 years for women and 6 years for men between 2024 and 2070, there is an increasing need for solutions that enables elderly people, and individuals with a need for extra safety, to live an independent and healthy life. One solution that is under development, is a mobile social alarm in the form of a watch, which
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterised by motor and non-motor symptoms, including significant speech impairments. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management and treatment. However, traditional diagnostic methods are often limited because they rely on subjective assessments and only detect symptoms after they have become noticeable.
This thesis critically examines the Global Digital Compact (GDC), a United Nations initiative addressing global digital disparities and fostering equitable digital governance. Using postcolonial theory and Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), it explores the GDC’s language, power dynamics, and stakeholder representation. The study reveals that the GDC mirrors colonial dependency patterns, with the G
Förverkande att taga arv och testamente regleras i 15 kap. ärvdabalken (ÄB). Syftet med regleringen är att undvika att anstötande gärningar leder till arv. Uppsatsen syftar till att granska bestämmelsen och eventuella brister, för att sedan undersöka hur lagstiftningen kan förbättras. Idag är det reglerat så att den gärningsman som begår mord, dråp eller andra allvarliga våldshandlingar som bidrarThe forfeiture of inheritance and wills is regulated in the first section of chapter 15 of the Inheritance Code. The purpose of this legislation is to prevent offenders from benefiting from inheritance if they have committed serious offenses that result in another person’s death. This essay aims to analyze the act and its potential shortcomings, followed by an examination of how the legislation co
Robust optimization plays a vital role in proton therapy treatment planning. A monoenergetic beam of protons has a finite range and delivers most of its dose at some specific depth in the patient. This allows the design of treatments that mainly damage the tumor and not any surrounding tissue. However, this property also makes proton therapy sensitive to uncertainties in the patient model used for
We provide an introduction to scheme-theoretic algebraic geometry, which studies spaces that are in essence locally solutions to systems of polynomial equations, and prove the weak Mordell-Weil theorem. The weak Mordell-Weil theorem states that for an elliptic curve $E$ over a number field $K$, the quotient $E(K)/mE(K)$ is finite for all $m\geq 2$. The proof is adapted from a proof in the language
SAAB Dynamics produces and develops warheads and uses computer simulations to evaluate its products. Recently, SAAB has begun using neural networks to quickly obtain accurate outputs, based on simulated data, from a set of input variables with success. This thesis investigated whether interim data in the form of video frames can improve the output of the network. This thesis investigated the use o
Power consumption has become a leading concern for SoC aimed at 5G products that demand increased functionality, smaller form factors, and low energy footprint. For some EMCA IP blocks a hierarchical clock gating mechanism ensures coarse-grained power savings based on actual processing need but for many blocks this approach cannot be employed. This implies that these blocks have to rely on a high
Studies on several target factors like specific antigens, biomarkers and cellular signals involved in High-risk Human papilloma virus (HR-HPV) infection and its mediated immune response aid in narrowing the gap to generate effective therapeutic solutions for oropharyngeal carcinomas. Thus, establishing cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTL) lines will aid in investigating and carrying out functional studie
Batch high-shear mixers are used in a variety of different processing industries,such as the pharmaceutical, chemical and food industries. One company that utilize this type of mixers is Tetra Pak. High-shear mixers can be used for many different mixing scenarios, but only liquid-liquid mixing is discussed in the thesis. The batch high-shear mixer is constructed with a rotor-stator at the bottom o
Commercial finite element codes are designed with a wide variety of tools and options to suit the needs of many different applications. However, in a teaching setting this is not always desirable as the effort required to learn the software draws focus and time from the teaching of the theoretical concepts. Using fully developed solvers might also allow solving of exercises without fully understan
Today communication, promotion and transaction of products are key functions of product packaging. The quality of the package print is therefore of great importance and needs to be consistent for large production quantities. One of the most common technologies for printing on paper or cardboard is flexographic printing. With this technology colors are applied one by one and through their combinati
A new pharmaceutical product suitable to act as a negative contrast agent for Computerized Scan (CT-scan) of the abdomen is under development. At the moment the product has the form of a powder, which when dispersed in water and whipped, gives a stable foam. The foam is ingested by individuals who are about to undergo a CT-scan, as a prior preparation step. The powder form has disadvantages such a
The purpose of this thesis is to explore the motivations of young people for manifesting their consumption behavior through Instagram stories. Additionally, the purpose includes gaining an understanding of the way consumption behavior is portrayed.
