Introduction: GaP nanowires were functionalized using silane-PEG-NH2 and compared with cellulose acetate, PAcrAm™-g-(PMOXA, amine, silane) and a non-functionalized reference sample. Functionalization would allow strong, covalent anchoring of antibodies instead of adsorption. Aim: The thesis work focused on deciding on, and optimizing, a protocol for nanowire surface modification of the three ment
The construction of a building does not always work the way it appears to work. Within a theoretical framework rooted in writings by Eduard Sekler, Karl Bötticher and Martin Heidegger, this thesis presents a discussion on the importance of the tectonic expression when designing a building with the intent that it should be easy to disassemble. Is it enough to make a building dismountable, or does t
This study intends to give a further understanding of the phenomenon of influencers, and how the structures of social media affect young women on a daily basis. With empirical data gathered by netnographic observations and in person interviews I hope to give an understanding of the experienced emotions of interactions with social media influencers on Instagram. Presenting theories of celebrity, id
In recent years, several men in Sweden have been acquitted of different sexual offences because the courts deemed that it could have occurred in their sleep. According to a leading expert, several of the Swedish acquitting cases are based on incorrect or irrelevant arguments and reasoning regarding sexsomnia. Therefore, it is important to gain a deeper understanding of how sexsomnia manifests with
Allt mer information om individer samlas in bland företag och metoderna för att samla in och analysera data blir allt mer effektiva. När allt som går att digitalisera blir digitalt och sådant som kan övervakas blir övervakat så kan man ställa sig frågan om vad det innebär för ens egen personliga integritet. För företag skapar datan potential till att förutse konsumenters behov och kan på detta sät
This project got inspired by Alastair Humphreys‘ book ”Microadventures. Micro adventures are small escapes from daily life which should be ”short, simple, close to the home and cheap” as Humphreys writes. For me, the epitome of micro-adventures is staying one night out in nature - an activity that shouldn’t afford a lot of gear, knowledge, money, or time and should be accessible for everyone. Foc

As information technology develops in the past decade, the digital society has affected every aspect of the social structure. The legal system faces the challenge in implementing the legal norms, yet the evolved architecture of technology in the digital society makes it difficult for the law to perform its function. One of the fields of challenge is legal protection of personal data. Legislat
Inward Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) is a factor of sustained economic development (UNCTAD, 2020). Developing nations have been eager to attract inward FDI in an attempt to stimulate their domestic economy. Since its independence in 1965, Singapore has transitioned from a developing country to one of the world’s strongest economies whilst consistently attracting inward FDI as an intrinsic part
The aim of this study is to explore the ways in which the Russo-Ukrainian war influences and is manifested in first-generation Russian migrants’ narratives of belonging, the purpose of which is to further explore the relationship between homeland conflict and the ways in which migrants construct deterritorialised narratives of belonging. The research is based on seven in-depth interviews analysed
This paper investigates the understanding of SDG interconnections in social, economic, and environmental sustainability towards the implementation process of Rwanda's green growth approach. Thereby this thesis contributes to the academic debate on sustainability practices in developing countries via the case of Rwanda and its special approach to home-grown solutions. Hence, the paper uses the
Övergången från lärarstudier till arbetet som lärare är ett diskuterat tema världen över. För att fortsätta diskussionen vidare och erhålla kunskap om hur skolor kan underlätta för lärarna i den ofta omtumlande övergången, krävs uppdaterade uppgifter om hur lärare upplever sin första tid i yrket. Studien syftar till att undersöka nyutbildade lärares första år i arbetslivet, med speciellt fokus på
This thesis empirically examines the impact of democratic transitions on innovation using a difference-in-differences method on a panel of 168 countries from 1960 to 2019. Patents, R&D expenditure, and scientific articles are employed as proxies for innovation. The results indicate that democratisations have a positive effect on patents. This association is significant for permanent democratis
The rapid increase of asylum-seekers in 2015 overwhelmed the Greek reception system and led to the creation of numerous refugee camps throughout the country. The Sphere Minimum Standards provide globally acknowledged guidance to design and manage these facilities. They designate risk assessments as an essential tool to guarantee a safe environment for Persons of Concern. Yet, exposure to natural h
The present study seeks to understand the impacts of mining on Indigenous Peoples’ rights in the Brazilian Amazon. For this purpose, after an introduction of the context of mining historically, socially, and geographically in Brazil, a framework of Indigenous Peoples’ rights is described, and each right analyzed separately. All rights are interconnected and interdependent, but it becomes evident t
One of the main contributors in the immune system are T cells. The exact molecular mechanisms behind T cell activation are not yet fully understood but it starts through the contact between the T cell and an infected cell. In order to study such interaction, supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) are used to mimic cell membranes and to reduce its complexity but still retaining the fundamental property of
Climate hazards are increasing globally both in their intensity and frequency, requiring more integrated approaches that also strengthen national leadership over disaster management. Mobilizing resources ex-ante has been demonstrated as an effective way of reducing the impacts of hazards on livelihoods and protecting development gains, while social protection (SP) has also been demonstrating capac
LARO is a treatment method with strong scientific support, among things it is included in being considered "best practice" according to the EU's EMCDDA. However, despite the scientific support, the treatment is perceived as controversial and has received much criticism. The aim of this study was to research what professionals within LARO themselves consider to be the strengths and we
In this master thesis, a broad theoretical description is done of a novel quantum state tomography protocol called KRAKEN. This protocol is meant for the determination of the density matrix of an electronic state created by absorption of XUV radiation in the vicinity of a Fano resonance. At first, a description of the KRAKEN protocol is provided. Then, the theory of Fano resonances is discussed. A
