Vertical heterostructures between graphene (Gr) and hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) have attracted a great deal of interest, due to their potential applications in the semiconductor industry as new and superior transistor materials. The direct growth of the heterostucture still remains challenging and in this bachelor thesis, I report a novel electron assisted growth technique, which is used to atte

This study aims to shed light on how the works of homosexual artists, and the homosexual artists themselves, are subject to sexualisation or fetishization through the theories and analyses posed by museums and their curators. This is demonstrated by the example of the retrospective exhibition on Marsden Hartley by the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. This study uses texts about the work from the ex

The news media remains as one of the most important sources of societal uptake of climate change information. Its potential to covertly shape public perception and attitudes regarding climate change is therefore considerable but difficult to assess. This thesis underscores the discursive and cognitive role of metaphor in this dynamic by using a framework that combines the theory of conceptual meta

This Bachelors thesis in Sociology is the result of a 10 weeks Minor Field Study (MFS) in Brazil, financed by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, SIDA carried out March-May 2011. The thesis is a qualitative case study of two non-governmental cultural organisations working with social extended school projects in Salvador, Bahia. The overarching purpose of this study and the th

Control theory plays a big part in the development of more efficient and environ- mental friendly combustion engines. But the process of designing good controllers can be very time consuming and complex. One way to reduce the time spent on design and testing of a controller is to use simulations to get fast feedback of the controllers performance. Therefore, in this thesis it is investigated if a

How sustainable development (SD) is envisioned, practiced and financed is a crucial question today. In Denmark, the former government introduced private sector-driven development (PSDD) at the heart of Danish development cooperation. In this thesis, I seek to understand how the Danish development community (represented in this study by four large civil society NGOs) have positioned themselves to t

Bark beetles are responsible for great damages to Swedish forestry every year. This project focuses on a method of entomological lidar called Scheimpflug lidar to detect and monitor bark beetles. Scheimpflug lidar uses old techniques from photography to achieve a deep field of focus to resolve objects over long distances. Measurements were made in the field as well as in the lab with trapped speci

The aim of this project is to study the implementation of Sweden’s feminist foreign policy through its gender equality enchancing foreign aid to Turkish civil society, managed by The Swedish Consulate General in Istanbul. Through a multi-methods study based on document analysis of project grant cases in 2019, and in-depth interviews with Consulate staff and representatives from partner organizatio

The coherent coupling of photons to solid state emitters is one of the building blocks for future quantum technology. However, one of the main sources for non-perfect or even strongly reduced coherence of the photons is charge noise which introduces energy shifts during or in between the photon emission events. In particular solid-state emitters in nanostructures suffer from such spectral diffusio

Syfte: ​Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur bakgrundsbabbel påverkar hörförståelse på textnivå hos elever i årskurs 2 och 4, samt arbetsminnets betydelse för detta. Det nyutvecklade testet Lyssna, Förstå och Minnas (LFM), som testar förståelse och minne av berättelser (narrativer), inkluderades i metoden. Studien bidrar alltså även med en utökad validering av LFM. Metod: ​51 elever (8-11 år

Syfte: Syftet var att bidra till insikter om den lexikal-semantiska utvecklingen genom att identifiera vilka innehållsord samt semantiska domäner barn förväntas behärska i förskoleåldern. Metod: En korpus av populära bilderböcker för svensktalande barn sammanställdes för att undersöka vilka ord som är högfrekventa samt vilka semantiska domäner dessa ord tillhör. För att ta reda på i vilken utsträc

Som de flesta av oss vet så kretsar planeter i elliptiska banor runt stjärnor. Vissa planeter som ligger väldigt nära de stjärnor som de kretsar får uppleva visa effekter som inte märkbart påverkar de planeterna i omloppsbana längre bort. Dessa effekter uppkommer ur så kallade tidvattenskrafter som härstammar från det faktum att gravitationskrafter beror väldigt mycket på avstånd mellan objekt. DePlanets that orbit their host star closely experience tidal forces due to the strength of gravity not being uniform all over the planet. This leads to effects such as tidal spin synchronization, tidal eccentricity damping and tidal semi-major axis damping. This project aims to study how the time scales for these phenomena are affected by the planetary parameters such as mass, radius and the tidal

Rostfritt duplexstål är ett konstruktionsmaterial som skulle kunna tänkas vara konkurrenskraftigt i förhållande till konventionella material inom brobyggnad med tanke på dess höga hållfasthet, marginella underhållsbehov och möjlighet till återvinning. Hittills har det dock inte använts i någon större utsträckning inom brobyggnad framför allt på grund av dess högre kostnad i förhållande till traditDuplex stainless steel is a construction material that could possibly prove competitive in relation to conventional materials in bridge design, given its high strength, marginal maintenance needs and the possibility of recycling. To date, however, it has not been used to any great extent in bridge constructions, mainly because of its higher cost in relation to traditional carbon steel. In this stu

I takt med det ökade mediala fokus på globalisering och klimathot ställs nya krav på samhället och på att företag ska ta ett moraliskt ansvar för hållbarhetsfrågor. Frågan är om hållbart företagande kan anses förenligt med gällande rätt. Vinstsyftet i 3 kap. 3 § ABL är det grundläggande kriteriet för bolagsledningens beslutsfattande och innebär indirekt att ledningen inte får prioritera till exemThe increased media focus on globalization and climate change has brought new demands from society, which has led to more companies taking moral responsibility for sustainability issues. The question is whether sustainable business can be considered compatible with applicable law. The profit objective in Chapter 3 § 3 in the Swedish Companies Act (”Aktiebolagslagen” [2005:551], ”ABL”) is the fun

Den europeiska gräns- och kustbevakningen (EBCG), bestående av EU-byrån Frontex samt medlemsstaterna, har mandat att genomföra gränsförvaltningsrelaterade uppdrag som sträcker sig bortom nämnda staters territorium. Dess personal får handla på tredje länders territorium samt på det fria havet, vilket väcker frågan om vad följderna är vad rör förpliktelserna EU:s regelverk kring grundläggande rättigThe European Border and Coast Guard (EBCG), consisting of the EU agency of Frontex and the Union member states, has the mandate to perform missions relating to border management beyond the territory of said states. Its staff may act in the territory of third countries and on the high seas, which raises the question of what the implications are in respect to the obligations which the EU fundamental

Syfte: Syftet med studien är att utvärdera om den nya detaljrika revisionsberättelsen uppfyller sina mål, för att på så sätt skapa möjlighet att diskutera huruvida den nya regleringen som infördes år 2016 var relevant eller inte. Metod: Genom en dokumentstudie, har 744 orena revisionsberättelser samlats in via en databas som sekundärkälla. Revisionsberättelserna har sedan utvärderats och analyser

Abstract Author: Marinette Kindeland Title: School Social Work’s perspective on Promoting Mental Health – to be handled and to handle in the School Dramaturgy Supervisor: Alexandru Panican Assessor: Anna Angelin From the 1980s until today, a doubled number of youths are suffering from mental illness in Sweden. One of the most important institutions that meet and socialize young people, are school
