Throughout this thesis, samples of various materials with applications in energy converting devices have been prepared by focused ion beam machining and investigated by transmission electron microscopy. Energy converting devices can be solar cells or light emitting diodes, which turn light into electricity or vice versa. They can also be fuel cells or electrolyzer cells, which turn chemical energy

Underlining the too widespread underestimation of cultural differences by managers, international management literature problematizes culture as a critical factor for global competitiveness. Evidence from recent critical research (e.g. Westwood 2006) has shown that many of the main works within cross-cultural management (especially Hofstede 1980) and more broadly international management can be se

We derive [Cu/Fe] for 117 giant stars in 10 globular clusters (M3, M4, M5, M10, M13, M15, M71, NGC 7006, NCG 288, and NGC 362) and find that globular cluster Cu abundances appear to follow [Cu/Fe] trends found in the field. This result is interesting in light of recent work, which indicates that the globular cluster ω Centauri shows no trend in [Cu/Fe] with [Fe/H] over the abundance range -2.0<[Fe

Under årens lopp har människan gjort stora landvinningar inom läkemedelsforskning, vilket har lett fram till avancerade läkemedel som idag tas för givna. Avancerade läkemedel sätter dock höga krav på tillverkarna av läkemedel, vilket har lett till att framtagandet av nya läkemedel är en ganska komplicerad process. Faktum är att dagens läkemedelsutveckling är så komplex att alla aspekter förmodligePopular Abstract in Swedish Under årens lopp har människan gjort stora landvinningar inom läkemedelsforskning, vilket har lett fram till avancerade läkemedel som idag tas för givna.

A priori calculations of phonon broadening of core levels in metals are presented. The effects of nonlinear screening and higher-order couplings are taken into account for the first time. The nonlinear screening effects are very important for Li and must be accounted for in order to obtain agreement with experiment.

This paper discusses whether the Western democracy promotion project of exporting civil society to the Balkans is a form of colonialism. In particular, it deals with they system of project life, and project culture which has structured Western development interventions. Examples come from the author's own work as consultant in Bosnia, Albania and Romania in the field of civil society/NGO developme

The aim of this study is to investigate whether the occurrence of lexical tones in a language imposes restrictions on its pitch range. Kammu, a Mon-Khmer language spoken in Northern Laos comprises dialects with and without lexical tones and with no other major phonological differences. We use Kammu spontaneous speech to investigate differences in pitch range in the two dialects. The main finding i
