Thermoelectricity is the physical principle of converting heat energy directly into electrical energy. Devices based on this principle so far fall short on efficiency but future thermoelectric devices based on QDs can have very high efficiency. Before QDs can be used in actual devices their behavior must the studied to a further extent. This work theoretically explores how a QD in a single electro

Project has different basis that must be completed to be able to present a finished product. Knowledge of the area and how the projection works will be used in efforts to implement the empirical study. Design assumptions are divided into two groups where some items are specific to a particular product while others are general conditions in all projects. The goal is to identify the conditions and a

Syftet med denna uppsats är att öka förståelsen för huvudintressenternas uppfattningar i Sverige kring den obligatoriska byrårotationen med hänsyn till oberoende och revisionskvalitet. Resultatet visar att majoriteten av huvudintressenterna är negativt inställda till den obligatoriska byrårotationen, speciellt i sin slutgiltiga utformning som troligtvis kommer vara utan påverkan på varken det fakt

The field of mass evacuation has existed for a long time. Already during the Roman Empire era evacuation problematic was considered. In modern times the field has gained more attention during the last couple of decades, especially for sports grounds and stadiums. Through analysis of some well-known historical crowd disasters and through a literature survey the aim has been to compile the most impo

The aim of this MA thesis is firstly to describe and investigate the theologico-anthropological aspect of the doctrine of deification within contemporary Lutheran theology. Secondly, the aim of the thesis is to propose a theological anthropology that considers the human need and ability to grow, mature and deepen in life and in relationship to oneself, one’s neighbor and God. I argue that this per

There has been an increasing interest in wastewater treatment in last decades to reduce human footprint. Primarily, anaerobic technology focused on treatment and stabilization of sludge, but now the tendency is to give it a major role in low cost treatment of high/low strength wastewaters, since anaerobic digestion offers energy generation through gas production. Anaerobic membrane bioreactors (A

Background: Sequence variation within transcriptional factor binding sites can influence gene expression. We have found a four-nucleotide genetic variant in the Basigin (BSG) promoter region that disrupts a predicted GATA-1 binding site. BSG encodes a red blood cells surface protein on that is exploited as an invasion receptor by the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum. Hence the identified var

Bakgrund: När kvinnor är med om missfall upplever majoriteten av dem en krisreaktion, där depression, ångest och självförkastelse är vanligt förekommande. Kvinnor kan uppleva ett ansvar att ha förmågan att föda fram ett helt och friskt barn. Detta trots att mellan 15 och 20% av alla graviditeter som slutar i missfall. Syfte: Att belysa kvinnors upplevelser vid missfall i mötet med vården. Metod:

Syfte: Vårt syfte är att generera kunskap om människors attityd kring miljövänliga köksprodukter och dess tillhörande information, och hur dessa attityder skiljer sig åt mellan olika demografiska grupper. Teoretiskt perspektiv: Uppsatsen huvudsakliga teori är köpprocessen och kompletteras med teorier om köpmotiv, risk & osäkerhet samt engagemang. Här motiveras också de sex hypoteser som formu

The question ‘What is Vulnerability’ is hard to answer. This thesis deals with this question by investigating narratives of vulnerability amongst staff members at DIGNITY – Danish Institute Against Torture. Drawing on the thoughts, theories and epistemology of understanding vulnerability by Erinn C. Gilson and Judith Butler, this thesis seeks to uncover how vulnerability is narrated amongst staff

Vid kusten får man ofta vända kappan efter vinden på grund av det oberäkneliga vädret. Vind, temperatur och molnighet kan variera mycket på kort tid och på korta avstånd. Ett speciellt igenkännbart fenomen under molnfria sommardagar i havsnära områden är den svalkande vinden från havet, som friskar i under morgonen och mojnar mot kvällen. Vinden kallas sjöbris, eller havsbris, och den är orsakenSea breezes are widespread mesoscale phenomena that occur in coastal areas all over the world. This phenomenon affects the coastal weather and can give rise to strong convection and thunderstorms, and is therefore of importance for operational weather prediction, leisure activities and studies in pollution dispersion and wind power production. This study aims at analyzing a possible sea-breeze ca

Sandvik SRP has earlier studied a new way of calculating the cost in crushing and screening the results was a satisfactory, Sandvik SRP is now ready to go further in this study. The purpose of this study is further develop of the earlier adopted generic cost model earlier developed by Heyman and Lindström in order to calculate the cost per metric ton within the world of crushing and screening. By

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the role of the perceived servicescape (i.e. color, music, cleanliness, ambient temperature, layout/function and signs/symbols) in influencing customers' behavioral intentions in Chinese fast food restaurants. Methods: In this study, a deductive approach, a quantitative methodology, and a survey research design are adopted. The data is collected

What do current irregular migration flows in the Mediterranean Region, and subsequent policy responses in terms of migration and border control, tell us about the significance of the external borders of the EU in a context of globalization?

Uppsatsen försöker ge en bild om assyrier/syrianers väg till en etnonationell identitet. Assyrier/syrianer är en kristen folkgrupp vars rötter är från Mellanöstern. Dock bor många av medlemmarna i Sverige och är koncentrerade till Södertälje. Efter bosättningen i Sverige räckte inte gruppens religiösa bakgrund för att etablera sig i landet. År av förtyck och diskriminering i ursprungsområdet resul

This project is inspired by a modern family constellation - the patchwork family. Now days a family not necessary consists of a mum and a dad and their biological children. A family can be a constellation of several families with children from earlier relations, siblings with different parents and step-children. A common situation in the patchwork family is that the number of family members varies
