“Det är rätt lyxigt att kunna läsa på alla dessa sätt”: En studie om e-boksanvändares upplevelser av att läsa och använda e-böcker

E-book reading is not as widespread in Sweden as in other technically comparable countries such as the USA, England and Germany. This has to do partly with a limited commercial market, as well as with the nature of distribution of e-books through libraries which are at the forefront of making e-books accessible in Sweden. Although e-books and the Swedish e-book market have gained attention among r

The chemical composition of hot and cold gas giants

Exoplanet surveys have identified a category of giant planets that orbit very close to their host stars - the so-called hot Jupiters. The origin of such hot Jupiters is a long standing puzzle and has been closely investigated since the first discovery of such planets in 1995. The two competing formation paths suggests that they either migrated inwards during their formation process, through gravit

Development of a Tool to Create HDRI-Environments used for Rendering

This thesis aimed to develop and create a tool for 3D-artists at Sony Mobile Communications to improve and simplify the work when rendering new materials for their new products. The tool consists of a new product that would capture images for a panorama, where the images would contain a lot of light information, resulting in high dynamic range (HDR) files. This would be done by using the camera of

The Story of How Estebanico Became Mustafa in Laila Lalami’s The Moor’s Account: Retelling Stories in a Post-Colonial Light

Both post-colonialism and historical novels are highly topical research themes in today’s literary field, but storytelling as a genre has lost its status. This essay aims to look at the importance of storytelling in the 2014 published novel The Moor’s Account, and how storytelling can be connected to post-colonial rewritings of history. This is achieved through looking at the emphasis on storytell

Polymeric single Li+-ion conductors: preparation and characterisation

Batterier finns överallt, t.ex. i mobiltelefoner, bärbara datorer och surfplattor. I och med klimatförändringarna i världen så ökar intresset för miljösmarta bilar som t.ex. elbilar vilket medför att nya användningsområden för batterier skapas. Litiumjonbatterier är en typ av lätta, återuppladdningsbara och energirika batterier som skulle kunna användas för att möta de krav på nya batterier som upLithium-ion batteries are a common type of light-weight, rechargeable batteries. There are safety concerns because these batteries typically use an organic solvent electrolyte which presents fire hazards. By using dry polymer electrolytes, the fire hazards can be eliminated. The single-ion conductor is a type of polymer electrolyte in which the ion-containing group has been covalently bonded with

The Plausibility of One Department Spurring the Process Orientation of a Firm - A case study of Helsingborgshem

This research examines the feasibility of initiating process orienting from one interdependent department in a firm. This was accomplished through interviews with the individual roles of the department studied as well as relevant project leaders and department managers on the board of directors.

The influence of labour market institutions on busi-ness survival in European countries: what affects the survival of new businesses?

Abstract: New ventures’ survival chances are becoming increasingly lower threatening economic growth and the innovation capability of each country. Research on business survival has focussed on many internal and structural drivers, however, there is a large gap regarding external influences, especially the influence of labour market institutions. This thesis fills the gap by extract-ing and analys

Economic pull-factors and immigrant inflows in destination countries

This paper investigates the association between economic pull factors and different groups of immigrant inflows in several OECD countries. The aim is to find out to what extent the economic pull-factors in destination countries can have an impact on immigrant inflows. In order to achieve that, the paper starts by considering different theories of migration both at the macro and micro level. Data o

Move-ability: A philosophy of education study that develops an alternative understanding of inclusion through posthumanist theories using a diffractive reading

It does so by first establishing a theoretical framework on economic growth, focusing particularly on New Institutional Economics, also assessing several other theories that seek to explain economic growth. Having done so this paper analyzes whether i

Simulation and Compensation of Measurement Errors in a Spherical Near-Field Scanner

Det här examensarbetet beskriver ett projekt som har genomförts med Phasor Solutions Ltd om att simulera olika fel som kan uppstå i en sfärisk närfälts skanner (SNFS). En SNFS är ett komplicerat mätsystem som gör det möjligt att göra exakta mätningar för en halvsfär runt antennen som testas. Då frekvenserna som används i skannern är höga, geometrin är komplicerad och att transformation mellan närfThis thesis covers the work that has been carried out with Phasor Solutions Ltd on simulating possible errors in their spherical near field scanner (SNFS). A SNFS is a scanner that enables exact measurement to be taken in a complete hemisphere around an antenna under testing (AUT). Due to the high frequency, complex geometries and the fact that the transformation between near-field and far-field d
