Smartphones ger dig tillgång till internet, tusentals appar och telefoni i en förpackning inte större än att den får plats i din ficka. Det är en av produkterna av 50 års forskning inom halvledarteknik. Forskning som idag står inför en stor utmaning med att fortsätta utvecklandet i samma takt som tidigare \cite{MArden2002371}. Den här artikeln beskriver försök att undersöka nya material som kan löThe down scaling of metal-oxide-semiconductor based devices has been halted by the shortcomings of silicon. To enable further miniaturization new materials are required. The proposed replacements include compound III-V semiconductors and high-k oxides, the implementation of which has been difficult. This work investigates metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitors fabricated on InAs substrate. The oxide
The public sector in Sweden has since the 1980´s looked for inspiration from businesses and corporations in the organization of their work. This due to the emergence of a management trend known as new public management. One effect has been a spread of the concept of lean in multiple public sector organizations all over the country. Lean is a concept and method used to achieve efficiency and qualit
This paper investigates the accuracy of three different methods that are used to perform a relative valuation. I also study the valuation accuracy of the three most widely used multiples used within these methods, the enterprise value to EBITDA (EV/EBITDA), the forward-looking price per share to earnings per share (P/EPS1), and the price-book (P/B). In addition, the difference between industries r
China is experiencing a rapid economic transformation, which witnesses a vast number of labourers moving out of agricultural sectors. In such a transformation, the effect of spatial income variance on labour’s off-farm work decision is still unclear. Based on the cross-sectional data from the national survey conducted in 2012, this study finds the effect on two kinds of off-farm employment, wage e
Bakgrund: Dörröppningar till operationssalen under pågående operation påverkar ventilationen, vilket kan öka risken för postoperativ sårinfektion. Vid ortopedisk implantat- och allmän ortopedisk kirurgi ska ultraren luft uppnås för att förebygga vårdrelaterade infektioner. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka frekvensen av dörröppningar till operationssalen vid ortopedisk implantatkirurgi i
This research paper analyses the relationship between average excess stock return and market beta on the Nasdaq OMX Stockholm for the period 1999 to 2015. By using the Fama-MacBeth approach and several additional regressions, we are able to examine if the relationship exists on days when the market anticipates receiving news regarding monetary policy decision by the Riksbank, Federal Reserve, Euro

The study derives from the concerns of climate change, the need for mitigation and adaption as well for more environmentally sustainable transport systems. A solution for reducing emissions from the transportation sector is to shift freight transports from road to sea- a solution for future environmental sustainability. As a foundation for how Scania should work with sea transportation as an alter
This bachelor thesis examines how the Danish birthing and pregnancy culture is a dialectic one. It argues that nature and culture, in a classical understanding, gives rise to an ambivalence where a new type of discourse surrounding pregnant women occurs. This discourse focuses on a natural, vaginal birth, but this type of natural birth takes place at a hospital, which is everything but natural. Th

Fokus ligger på hur bokens ideologiska budskap språkligt återges i respektive översättning och vilka tolkningsmöjligheter som öppnas upp för svenska läsare. Uppsatsen inleds med en genomgång av centrala feministiska tolkningar som gjorts
In a setting where both schools and students have incentives to demand higher grades than may be warranted, there is a risk of grade inflation. Shedding light on the observed grade inflation in Swedish schools, this study investigates possible grading differences between independent and public compulsory schools by comparing their grades to national test scores. Theory and previous studies suggest
The law from 1994, the Swedish Act concerning support and service for persons with certain functional impairments (LSS) is an entitlement law that is meant to guarantee good living conditions and self-determination for different groups with disabilities. However, studies have shown that coercive measures still occur within organizations bound by the law. The aim of this study was to examine the re
This thesis covers the design of a wideband, flexible front end for LTE and LTE-A in a 65 nm CMOS process. A topology with global frequency translational feedback is investigated and a harmonic rejection mixer is implemented. To compensate for parasitics at the RF input, a variable phase shift is used in the global feedback to improve input matching and prevent loss of noise performance. Combinati

The ambition of this essay is to achieve a greater understanding of how adolescence and sport can act as a protective factor and as crime prevention. All the positive effects that sports provide to all kinds of people are something that is even more important for adolescents (Riksidrottsförbundet (2009) Idrotten vill - idrottsrörelsens idéprogram 2016, s.13-14). The commune of Lund took this knowl
BACKGROUND: Distress tolerance (DT), anxiety sensitivity (AS), and intolerance of uncertainty (IU) are transdiagnostic vulnerability factors for emotional distress. Some have argued that AS and IU are components of DT but this hypothesis has not been properly addressed yet, and neither has their relationship to trait anxiety. Self-report studies and to lesser extent small clinical trials suggest t
