The purpose of this thesis is to provide a deeper understanding of how organizations learn from previous investment decisions and to develop a framework that suggests an illustrative overview of how the experience from a previous investment decision process is turned into organizational learning. The study used a qualitative approach consisting of a multiple case study. In addition to the literatu

Biometric recognition systems are widely used to recognize an individual. Fingerprints is a biometric identifier and are today widely used in smartphones for biometric recognition. The fingerprint software used in smartphones are great and fast, and usually implemented for one person usage. A fingerprint software used for smartphones often conducts a one-to-one comparison between the sample and th

Kombinationen folkökning och klimatförändringar har lett till en ny fas inom byggbranschen. Pressen är hög på att bygga bostäder och så även kraven på energieffektiva och miljövänliga byggnader. Driften av bostäder är nu utvecklad till en sådan nivå att själva produktionen och byggnationen av bostaden genererar störst klimatbelastning under dess livstid. Nya byggmetoder med lägre klimatpåverkan är

Purpose: The purpose is to explore the institutional forces in a transitional regulated economy. Furthermore, the study seeks to gather information about firms’ perception of these forces and the way by which these firms seek to handle them and use them to build competitive advantages. Methodology: The study is of qualitative character with an instrumental case study design and a mix of deductiv

Dry Etching is widely used in nanoprocessing as a method of pattern transfer onto a hard substrate, like silicon. Improving the resolution of this etch process is an important step in reducing the feature size in, for instance, computer microchips, or Nanoimprint Lithography stamps.

Internal crisis communication has remarkably been neglected both in research and in practice, even if there are studies that claim that internal stakeholders have a pivotal role during a crisis. This study aims to understand how multinationals use internal crisis communication and in what way they engage with their employees before, during, and after a crisis. Using the contingency theory of accom

I detta arbetet utvecklas en metod för att göra approximativa beräkningar av grundtillståndet för ett kvantmekaniskt system bestående av flera partiklar.In this thesis a method for doing approximate calculations of the ground state of quantum mechanical many-body systems is developed and implemented. This method uses the Hartree-Fock method as a starting point and approximates the ground state as a linear combination of non-orthogonal Slater determinants. The Slater determinants are added consecutively by minimising their associated energy while k

All-inorganic CsPbI3 perovskite quantum dots (QDs) have attracted intense attention for the application in photovoltaics and optoelectronic applications due to their phase stability and great photoluminescence (PL) properties. However, the their photostability is still to be investigated in detail. In this thesis work, we studied the photostability of the CsPbI3 QDs suspended in hexane and found l

I och med att konkurrensen om kunderna ökar behöver utformningen av platser syfta till att attrahera människor. Som en konsekvens av den ökade konkurrensen är det viktigt med samlokalisering av handelsaktörer för att locka människor till platsen. Att vissa platser är mer välbesökta än andra beror bland annat på handelsagglomerationers samt enskilda ankarbutikers olika dragningskraft. En av de anka

Purpose: The purpose consists of gaining an understanding of how young consumers engage on Instagram. This was done by applying the perspectives of social influence and influencer marketing. Methodology: This study utilized a qualitative method from a social constructionist standpoint. The study has adopted an abductive approach. Ten semi-structured interviews with female participants have been

In recent years there has been a major change in environmental policy areas, especially when the EU has invested substantial resources in the environmental as well the energy sector. This paper analyzes one of the actors, Fredrick Federley and The Swedish Center Party, who worked on the issue between 2014-2018. To see how the rhetoric has elapsed as well as examine the environmental and energy p

This study explored the localization of the fictional species names in the Pokémon multimedia franchise. The relations and changes between the semantic units included in 807 Pokémon names were analysed using a framework of existing translational categories of proper names within onomastics (Vermes 2001, Ainiala, Saarelma and Sjöblom 2012), semantic analysis (Nida 1975) and general translation theo

I den här kulturanalytiska studien undersöker jag de kulturella normer och värderingar som ligger till grund för hur Stockholms stad bedriver stadsplanering. Mitt fokus är på de personer som gör stadsplaneringen, de så kallade stadsplanerarna. Ambitionen är att genom intervjuer med dem få kunskap om de kulturella föreställningar om trygghet och ordning i stadsplaneringen som ligger till grund för In this cultural analytical study, I am investigating cultural concepts of security and order in the city planning. My analysis is based on Mary Douglas's theory that describes human perception of deviations, dangers and security presented in the book Purity and Danger. In addition, I use Jürgen Habermas' book The Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere, in which he explores how the

Almost half of the energy consumption in the EU originates from heating and cooling of buildings. The European Commission states that smart control of building systems may reduce the energy consumption. Cloud based smart control or even advanced fault-detection systems are becoming more common and should work for any building in the world. These systems need to receive data from the physical build

Intresset för att studera protoplanetära diskar har ökat inom forskarvärlden i och med de observationer av dem som har gjorts de senaste åren. Observatoriet Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) i Chile har observerat flertalet protoplanetära diskar i enastående detalj. Dessa observationer har motiverat forskare till ytterligare teoretiska studier av protoplanetära diskar och deras dynamiska utvecProtoplanetary discs surround young stars for the first few million years after their formation and they are the birthplaces of planetary systems. The thermal structure of the discs is regulated by their dust content and the opacity that it provides. The aim of this project is to investigate the effect grain growth has on the structure of the protoplanetary discs. Hydrodynamical simulations have b

The aim of this project was to investigate how Bacillus can survive in the finished beer. This was evaluated by producing batches of beer with starter cultures that were deemed to be interesting in terms of their Bacillus content. This beer, together with beer from microbreweries and store-bought beer were plated onto Bacillus Chromoselect agar, a selective agar for Bacillus. Samples were then tak
