This thesis defined and investigated a general workflow based on model-based design using the Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI), involving Hardware-in-the- Loop (HiL) simulation. The thesis was a direct continuation of Sara Gunnarsson’s master’s thesis "Evaluation of FMI-based Workflow for Simulation and Testing of Industrial Automation Applications", where a Software-in-the-Loop (SiL)

Free Electron Lasers (FEL) are one of the most brilliant light sources in the world and due to their unique properties they are used to push the frontier of knowledge in fields such as biochemistry and protein crystallography. This is the reason why there is a lot of research worldwide about understanding and improving them. Although there are numerous papers describing the output of the FEL in te

Nanopartiklars roll i den framtida medicinen Vad tänker du på när du hör ordet ”framtid”? Din första tanke är kanske den klassiska bilden av flygande bilar i gigantiska städer. Din tankebana kanske sedan flyter iväg till Star Trek där du tänker på att åka ut i rymden och utforska nya världar. Jag själv tänker på en perfekt värld med gröna energikällor och där mycket arbete är automatiserat. NågotNanomedicine is a growing field with great potential. When nanoparticles (NPs) come in contact with biological fluids a protein corona is formed on the surface. The protein corona has an effect on the pharmacokinetics and biological response. This might in turn lead to disadvantageous drug delivery and needs to be addressed when using NPs as drug delivery tools. How to build the protein corona and

The recent success story of gender equality in Sweden puts a shadow over the circumstances during Swedish industrialization when women both lost and won important positions in the economy and in society. Female labor force participation rates developed differently around the Swedish regions between 1870 and 1950 and regional heterogeneity can explain some of the variations where higher urbanizatio

Ventilation fans that are operating during fire in residential buildings is the dominating solution regarding smoke spread prevention in Sweden. Variable flows, in form of kitchen ventilation, has some effect on the system, but it is hard toestimate how much. The effects of forced ventilation and how to consider it when verifying the system has been studied in this report. The amount of forced flo

Huge amounts of greenhouse gases continuously released into the atmosphere is of large global concern. Carbon dioxide makes up a large part of released greenhouse gases. Especially the aircraft industry, which is experiencing a steady annual increase as air travel grows in popularity. This business sees 72% of all its combustion products in aircraft exhausts to be carbon dioxide. Swedavia, a compa

Hafnium dioxide (HfO_2) based thin films doped with various dopants (Si, Ge, Al, Gd, Sr, Zr) have been found to exhibit ferroelectricity. These dopants were found to stabilize the III orthorhombic phase in the hafnium oxide based thin films. This characteristic enables and allows various applications ranging from Non-volatile memory, Ferroelectric Field-Effect-Transistors, to Negative Capacitance

Examensarbetet har utvecklat en metod för att estimera den fraktala dimensionen från Transmissions Elektron Mikroskop (TEM) bilder av sot aggregat som skapats med hjälp av en mini-CAST sotgenerator. Det är ett underbestämt problem att estimera den fraktala dimensionen, en 3D egenskap, från 2D bilder. Lösningen är syntetiserade TEM bilder som baserats på projektioner av numeriskt simulerade aggregaIn this master’s thesis a method for estimating the fractal dimension from Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) images of soot aggregates has been developed, and also applied to TEM images of soot sampled from a mini-CAST soot generator. The problem to estimate the fractal dimension, a 3D property, from a 2D image is undetermined. To solve this, TEM images were synthesised based on projections o

This work presents the notion of free groups and the definition of a group using generators and relations. We use the Todd-Coxeter Algorithm in order to solve the coset enumeration problem for the finitely presented groups: $D_4,\, A_4,\, A_5,\, S_3,\, S_4,\, S_5,\, PSL_2(7),\, PSL_2(9)$. Then we use these presentations in order to prove the exceptional isomorphisms $A_5\cong PSL_2(5) \cong SL_2(4

Uppsatsen syftar till att redogöra för och analysera de konsekvenser som uppstått för fåmansföretagare och skattesystemet till följd av slopandet av stoppreglerna år 2000. Utmärkande för fåmansföretag är att bestämmanderätten endast utövas av ett fåtal ägare. För att förhindra att intressegemenskapen mellan företaget och delägarna används för att skapa skattelättnader infördes en särreglering förThis essay is aiming to explain and analyse the consequences that occurred to the owners of closely held companies due to the abolishment of the special tax legislation in 2000. The right to decide is gathered within a few owners in closely held companies. In order to prevent that this enables advantages in taxation a special regulation was introduced for closely held companies in 1976. The speci

This study examines the Refugees Welcome Movement campaign in Malmö between the period September 2015 and June 2016. The purpose of this study derives from the identification of a knowledge gap of descriptive, as well as analytical accounts that conceptualises the many and long withstanding occurrences of collective action within Social movement theory. This study aims therefore to tackle this kno

Female sex workers in Malawi are exposed to multiple occupational health and safety risks. Despite the fact that FSWs are impacting the general public’s health status, health care access is limited due to different challenges. In order to identify the barriers and receive a deeper understanding of the experiences FSWs make when accessing health care and how these experiences impact the women’s age

The purpose of this thesis was to explore how a scholarship distributed to upper secondary school students of ethnic minority in Ratanakiri, Cambodia has promoted educational participation. To do this, this thesis analysed students’ understanding of the value of education, obstacles to participation and how the scholarship has addressed these obstacles. A qualitative approach was used where data w

The purpose of this thesis was to investigate visibility and inclusion in policy on domestic violence in Bolivia by answering the specific questions: 1) How are the axis of difference related to gender, class and ethnicity made visible in the national policy documents on domestic violence? and 2) How are the intersections of gender class and ethnicity understood by service providers in public inst

With 10,5% women in parliament, Myanmar ranks number 157 out of 193 countries on the rate of women in parliament. This thesis aims at investigating the gendered institutions that influence women’s descriptive representation in politics through a case study on political recruitment within the Democratic Party for a New Society, DPNS, and their youth wing Youth for a New Society. The main research q

As women are increasingly becoming a part of political life on par with men, their role in politics is charged with diverse beliefs and expectations from all segments of society (constituents, women’s groups, the media). On top of increasing female presence in legislatures, they are expected to represent female constituents’ concerns, be representative of femininity, break gender stereotypes, etc.

This thesis addresses the topic of inclusive business by analyzing and comparing the strategy adoption process led by top managers, the level of cocreation, and challenges of Swedish organizations operating in low-income contexts within the water and sanitation and energy sectors. Inclusive business is a novel concept built upon Prahalad and Hart’s (2002) proposition of doing business with the Bas

The purpose of this thesis is to provide a contextual and legal analysis on the exclusion of transgender individuals from employment in the formal economy. The chosen research design was a case study, in which the city of São Paulo is examined. Through a qualitative analysis, this study subscribed to the Social Exclusion framework (Jehoel-Gijsbers and Vrooman, 2007) in order to investigate such ex

This thesis explores the relationship between journalism and advertising from the individual professional’s perspective. In-depth qualitative interviews with a total of eleven individuals currently working in Sweden or Denmark as either journalists or advertising, marketing and public relations professionals have been conducted, in which native advertisements have been shown and discussed.
