In the 21st century, science and technology are developing rapidly, but the threats of infectious diseases caused by the fatal virus to human beings are still not eliminated. In history, outbreaks of pandemics usually seriously influenced local economic and financial markets in many ways. This thesis focuses on a pandemic that occurred more than a decade ago, SARS, to investigate the magnitude of
This paper presents research and implementation of a high frequency Integer-N phase-locked loop for digital beamforming in mobile devices. Multiple topologies investigated whereof two were implemented. The transient phase noise of the PLL is -104dB/-95dB @1MHz. The output frequency range is from 8G-10G. Reference signal is 163.84MHz, reference-spurs is -80dBc/-98dBc lower than main frequency. RMS
Bekämpningsmedel i dricksvattnet verkar inte utgöra någon fara för invånarna i tätorten Degeberga, Kristianstads kommun. Av drygt 20 bekämpningsmedel som analyserades visade inga hälsoskadliga nivåer. Dessutom visade simuleringar för ytterligare bekämpningsmedel att endast ett ämne kunde riskera att nå skadliga nivåer. Emellertid visade inga ämnen tendenser till att stanna kvar i miljön under en lPesticides poses a threat to drinking water, especially where the usage is extended, like in Scania, Sweden. The main objective of this study was to identify and characterize substances used in the cultivated area of Degeberga. By the help of interviews with roughly 70 % of the landowners, I identified used pesticides in the area and the soil properties of their lands. Using the geographic informa
The diverse application of unmanned aerial vehicles has rapidly progressed during the last decade and is currently being implemented for medical deliveries in multiple developing countries. Thus far, medical drone delivery systems have successfully been established on a national scale in Ghana and Rwanda by the American company Zipline, currently playing a leading role within the field. The conduc
De flesta arbeten i dagens samhälle kräver att de anställda hanterar sina egna och andras känslor, däribland poliser som arbetar i yttre tjänst med ungdomsärenden. Riktlinjerna för polisernas arbete med ungdomar utgörs främst av Polislagen (SFS 1984:387) och lagen (SFS 1967:167) med särskilda bestämmelser för unga lagöverträdare. Det finns dock inga explicita riktlinjer för hur poliser ska hantera
The main purpose of this paper is to contribute to a deeper understanding of the (re)integration of startup into the parent organization and its effect on the organizational members, organizational culture, and identity which adds to the overall topic of mergers and acquisitions. Following an interpretive and abductive research approach allowed us to switch between theory and empirical material.
The purpose of this Thesis is to investigate the Mexican religious phenomenon of Santa Muerte and the mediatization that both simplifies and sensationalizes her. By investigating public Santa Muerte shrines and prayer cards in Guadalajara and Mexico City, by interviewing devotees in both cities, and by looking at media depictions of Santa Muerte, this project will explore how mediatization affects
This thesis investigates the social position and political agency of women excombatants of the Farc-EP who laid down their arms after the 2016 peace agreement between the Colombian government and the Farc-EP. I show how, through the laying down of arms and reincorporation, women ex-combatants come to occupy a specific social position under historical and global power relations and intersecting for
Previous research has analysed the relationship between women’s labour market outcomes and family policies in the general context of the European Union or among OECD countries. The current dissertation investigates the effect of a set of family policy’s instruments on women’s labour market participation and maternal employment in the countries of Southern Europe – Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal
The recent tightening of the Danish Aliens Act in 2019 has brought about an emphasized notion of temporality to temporary residence permits for refugees in Denmark. Temporality, in the eyes of the Danish government, is a sign to refugees, that their stay in Denmark should only be considered temporary, and that they should one day return to their countries of origin. But for refugees who have no no
As a food processing lines manufacturer with diverse product complexity, an understanding of fluid dynamics in a pipe system corresponding to the rheological properties and flow behavior is substantial. This will be beneficial to design suitable equipment and prevent processing-related issues, i.e. lowering filling performance, over-dimensioning pumps, excess energy consumption, etc. Therefore, th
Problem/Bakgrund Uppsatsens författare har iakttagit ett beteende där vissa användare av den sociala plattformen Instagram frekvent delar med sig av träningsrelaterade inlägg vilka rent av hos vissa utgör en dominerande del av alla deras inlägg. Är det enbart ett genuint intresse av träning som motiverar beteendet eller finns det andra medvetna eller undermedvetna skäl till att detta görs som med
Ever since the formation of the modern global foreign exchange market in the early 1970s, scholars have sought to develop models that can explain movements in foreign exchange rates. Arguably one of the most popular approaches to exchange rate modelling is the monetary approach, where movements in the exchange rate are modelled through changes in macroeconomic variables affecting the relative mone
The purpose of the present study is to investigate whether there is any relationship between job satisfaction and the view of the organization's rules for social workers in Sweden. By using Michel Oakeshott's theory of nomocracy and telocracy an online survey was conducted with 87 social workers working in adult social service. The study uses correlational analysis to measure the relations

Eight of the participants were currently working in the healthcare system while one was working as a school counselor. During the process of a
Antalet elever med problematisk frånvaro i grundskolan, så kallade hemmasittare, har under senaste decenniet ökat markant. Den här uppsatsen tar upp vilka orsakerna till frånvaron kan vara och hur skolorna i min hemkommun hanterar denna fråga. Syftet är att se om skolans åtgärder korresponderar mot elevernas behov samt att identifiera åtgärder som har positiv effekt. Uppsatsen bygger på intervjuer
Thesis purpose: This research investigates the effect of six specific consumers’ characteristics, i.e. fashion leadership, shopping enjoyment, instrumental and terminal materialism, green selfidentity, and social influence susceptibility, on consumers’ attitude towards a product-service system (a use-PSS) in the form of second-hand clothing rental. The relationship between attitude and consumers’
The purpose of this thesis is to examine if there is a cost, in terms of lower risk-adjusted returns, associated with using ESG factors in the portfolio creation process. The ability of using an ESG Smart Beta strategy, to outperform a passive cap-weighted index and a regular Smart Beta strategy in terms of risk-adjusted returns, was examined. By adopting a Smart Beta methodology, seven different
Over 150 local communities in California have implemented plastic product bans as a way to decrease stress on landfills, reduce non-recyclable materials, and manage litter. Plastic product bans such as plastic bags, polystyrene, or single-use plastics, are used to address both local (e.g. litter reduction or community aesthetics), and global (e.g. microplastic pollution or wildlife entanglement) p
