Towards a Cooper pair splitter in InAs nanowires with crystal-phase defined quantum dots

Det är intressant att studera om de spinn-sammanflätade elektronerna i ett Cooperpar kan delas upp, eftersom detta förutspås kunna användas när man bygger kvantdatorer. En kvantdator kan lösa vissa problem som vanliga, klassiska datorer inte kan och kan dessutom lösa en del problem snabbare. En ökad kunskap om kvantfenomen på ett fundamentalt plan är en förutsättning för vidare kvantteknologisk utCooper pair splitting (CPS) is a process in which the two spin-entangled electrons of a Cooper pair in a superconductor are split into two spatially separated electrons. If the separated electrons are still entangled, CPS can be studied to increase the knowledge of non-locality in quantum systems. This thesis is a first step towards the realization of CPS in InAs nanowires with crystal-phase defin

Effekter av prissökningar - En studie av påverkan på byggprojekt i Sverige

De senaste årens volatila marknadsläge har lett till konflikt mellan beställare och entreprenör med avseende på osedvanliga prisökningar och leveransstörningar. Det råder sällan en gemensam bild i projektorganisationen kring hanteringen av dessa vilket kan påverka relationen mellan beställare och entreprenör. Studiens syfte är bidra till en kunskapsutveckling som gynnar aktörerna som påverkats avThe volatile market situation in recent years has led to a conflict between client and contractor with regard to unusual price increases and delivery disruptions. There is rarely a common understanding in the project organization on how to deal with these, which can affect the relationship between the client and the contractor. The aim of the study is to contribute to the development of knowledge

Female Migrants in Search of Jobs: The Role of Social Capital in Labor Market Integration

The labor market integration of immigrants in general, and female migrants in particular, remains a central developmental objective for counteracting inequalities within societies across Europe. Previous studies put forth the concept of social capital, the resources linked to an individual's network of social connections, to explain immigrants’ diverging labor market trajectories. Policy-maker

Associated health care cost in parents of children with Myelomeningocele in Sweden: A repeated cross-sectional analysis of region Skåne’s health care utilisation data base.

Background: Studies have put spinal bifida which Myelomeningocoel (MMC) is a form at 6.1 per 10,000 births in Sweden. Other evaluations have pointed that disabilities could pose a burden on families despite the social net available within the Swedish society. It has been reported that depression, musculoskeletal disorders, and frequent health care visits are often likely to be reported in parents

Increase of biogas production by incorporating residual streams from agriculture

För att utöka biogasproduktionen i Västra Götalandsregionen (VGR) kan restströmmar från jordbrukssektorn fungera som en storskalig leverantör av biomassa. Produktionen av biogas minskar beroendet av fossila bränslen och rötresten som bildas kan också återföras till jordbrukssektorn, vilket skapar ett slutet kretslopp. I detta examensarbete granskades utökningen genom en kartläggning av biogasproduTo expand the biogas production in Region Västra Götaland (RVG), residual streams from the agricultural sector can function as a large-scale supplier of biomass. The production of biogas decreases the dependence of fossil fuels and the digestate that is formed can also be returned to the agricultural sector, creating a closed loop. The expansion was assessed in this thesis by the investigation of

Brand meaning and brand relationship in the context of a contradictory brand extension - A consumer perspective on ORGANICS by Red Bull

Companies have increasingly launched brand extensions in recent years while building on the credibility of the parent brand. Early brand extension research led to conservative statements about brand extensions and most research around them focuses on success factors from a quantitative perspective. Far less research addresses the brand meaning and the role of brand relationships in the context of

Så tycker och känner jag om sociala medier - en kvalitativ studie om unga vuxnas relationer till sociala medier och känslorna som förknippas med olika plattformar

Studien kretsar kring unga vuxnas relationer till sociala medier ur deras eget perspektiv. Fokus fästs på vilka tankar och känslor som unga vuxna förknippar med särskilda digitala plattformar, såsom Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat och TikTok, i syfte att undersöka hur de själva tycker att de påverkas – antingen positivt eller negativt – av dessa sociala medier. Vidare innefattar studien utgångspunkt

Det är så här vi vill rulla - en kvalitativ studie av cyklingens utopier och proto-praktiker

Att det finns ett behov av ett nytt transportsystem som ej bygger på (den fossildrivna) bilen är nästintill konsensus i större delen av den moderna världen idag. Det är också konsensus att cykeln kommer att vara en viktig del i denna omställning. Ett problem med vår samtids insatser för att främja cykling är dock att de sker i en kontext präglad av bilens hegenomi. Utformning av ny infrastruktur o

"Hot hand" in Esports: Quiet Eye Does Not Generalize to Multiple Targets in a Computerized Task

The effect of ”Quiet Eye” (QE), an oculomotor behavior predicting improved performance, has been identified in a variety of sports studies in the past 30 years. Most commonly, longer QE durations and earlier QE onsets results in higher accuracy of the participants. Recently, Dahl et al. (2021) have shown that these findings can be generalized to esports, a newly emerging field of performance psych

Flo: Intuitive Music Device Design

FLO is designed and dedicated to creating intuitive music playing with tactile and sensory experience for advanced music producers as well as beginners, even with minimal skills. The inspiration is from the traditional Chinese instrument, the Guzheng. Thinking in a counterfactual way, as most of the synthesizers in the market present a western symbol as the piano keys, I investigated whether the

Imputing connections of random gene networks from time series data using ANNs

Internet är ett nätverk där många datorer kommunicerar med varandra. På samma sätt består gennätverk av en uppsättning gener som är sammankopplade för att kunna kommunicera. Dessa sammankopplingar är dock inte alltid lätta att urskilja enbart utifrån att studera nätverkets dynamik. Processen, som ofta är lång och utmanande, kräver många tester för att få en korrekt nätverksstruktur. Detta är en beThis thesis presents the architecture of a convolutional neural network which is trained to impute the connections of randomly generated gene regulatory networks under varying amounts of regularisation. The generated gene networks are simulated from 10 different starting conditions for each set of connections in order to obtain multiple time series. The generated time series are fed into the neura

Provokativa åtgärder som polisiär arbetsmetod - En rätts(o)säker och (o)önskad lösning i förhållande till 6 kap 10 a § BrB?

De provokativa åtgärderna är en polisiär arbets- och utredningsmetod, vilken traditionellt beskrivs som att polisen i sitt brottsbekämpande arbete lockar fram beteenden från en enskild brottsmisstänkt, i form av yttranden eller handlingar, som kan vara ofördelaktiga för vederbörande. De provokativa åtgärderna har använts inom den polisiära verksamheten en längre tid, trots avsaknad av lagregleringProvocative measures can be described as a an investigation method, whereas the police entices to behaviour through expressions or actions, which in some aspect are unfavourable or disadvantegous for the provoced person. Provocative measures have been used as an investigation method by the Swedish police for a longer time, even though no legislation legitimizes or regulates its usage. The uncertai

Mediating Agonistic Peace

Agonistic theory has expanded to many research fields including peace and conflict studies, but it has yet to be used in the study of mediation. This thesis aims to fill this void by exploring the theoretical agonism-mediation nexus. By using agonistic peace theory to perform a qualitative content analysis of the UN Guidance for Effective Mediation (GEM), a discussion on the theory’s relevance in

”What local people?” - En kritisk granskning av den samiska konsultationsordningen i ljuset av gruvärenden

Samernas traditionella landområde Sápmi breder ut sig över norra Norge, Sverige, Finland och Kolahalvön i Ryssland, och omfattar därmed stora delar av Sveriges mest mineralrika områden. Storskaliga utvinningsprojekt har varit föremål för flera intensiva konflikter mellan samerna och staten, och gett upphov till såväl lokala protestaktioner som nationell debatt. I egenskap av urfolk åtnjuter samernSápmi, the traditional lands of the indigenous Sami people, expands across northern Norway, Sweden, Finland and into the Russian Kola Peninsula. It contains several of Sweden’s major mineral deposits. Large-scale extraction projects have been the subject of intense conflicts between the Sami and the Swedish state and has given rise to local protests as well as nation-wide political debate. Indigen

Achieving Security by Suicide - A Way of Ensuring a Forever Jihad?

This thesis aims to analyze how identity and potential ontological insecurity are expressed in the Islamic State’s narrative and how this may explain the use of suicide attacks. This is done by analyzing the language in the Islamic State’s official magazines between 2014 to 2017 through a theoretical lens of ontological security. The theory of ontological security centers around the threat to an o
