Today, digital circuits are part of every ones daily life in form of mobile phones, computers, television, smart cards etc. The advent of new technologies such as internet of things, 5G etc. are continuously making the digital circuits more and more complex in design. With this increase in complexity comes the possibility of more bugs in the system. Finding and fixing these bugs is of paramount im

Bakgrund: Kvinnor som får begränsat stöd av partner och barnmorska har ökad risk för en negativ förlossningsupplevelse men genom att kvinnan har en positiv inställning kan förlossningen upplevas som mindre smärtsam. Psykoprofylaxkurser kan ge föräldrapar verktyg att tillsammans jobba med under förlossningsarbetet. Syfte: Studies syfte var att beskriva hur kvinnan och partnern upplevde användandet

Framtidens generation av solceller innehåller nanotrådar, men vilka risker kan materialet utgöra på återvinningsanläggningar? De mycket små semikonduktiva nanotrådar effektiviserar framtidens solceller och det är möjligt att nästa generations solceller kommer bli en vanlig syn i samhället. Men, aktuell forskning pekar på att nanotrådarna har farliga egenskaper för människors hälsa och miljö. Det The rise of solar cells have been received with open arms as a renewable energy resource in Sweden. The new generation of solar cells containing semi conductive type III-V nanowires may pose, without proper safety measures, negative implications on health and the environment. In this study an overview of possible risks is considered in the waste management with solar cells containing nanowires. Al

This thesis investigates internal migrant selection and migrant sorting among the Brazilian working age population between 2007 and 2014. The study tests the validity of the Borjas model, that predicts variation in migration probability across education levels. A twofold empirical analysis is performed. In the first step, a logit model is used to analyze migrant selection. The results suggest that

Analogisk överföring undersöktes hos förskolebarn (24 månader till 55 månader) med en faktoriell tvärsnittsdesign. Analogisk överföring testades direkt efter inlärning eller ett dygn senare med en visuo-spatial uppgift. Vidare testades de kognitiva förmågorna arbetsminne, inhibering, självreglering och verbal intelligens. Studiens hypoteser var att fler barn skulle klara den direkta överföringen äAnalogical transfer was studied in preschool children (24 months to 55 months) with a factorial cross sectional design. Analogical transfer was tested directly after learning and one day later, using a visuospatial task. The cognitive abilities working memory, inhibition, self-regulation and verbal intelligence was assessed. The hypotheses were that more children would pass the direct condition th

Denna studie handlar om det miljöarbete som utförts i Varbergs kommun i relation till de nationella miljömålen. Den består av information samlad från intervjuer av fem personer som jobbar i eller med Varbergs kommun. Alla har relevanta positioner för att uttala sig om olika delar av Varbergs kommun miljöarbete. Studien undersöker hur Varberg ligger till i sitt arbete med de nationella miljömålen oThis study is about the environmental work made in the municipality of Varberg in relation to the Swedish environmental goals. It consists of information gathered from five different interviews with people that work with the municipalities environmental work in different capacities. Most of the statistics are taken from other sources.The study also explores things that makes it harder for the muni

As transistors in integrated circuits (ICs) are becoming smaller, faster and more, it has become harder to avoid malfunctioning. Embedded instruments are increasingly used to test, tune, and configure the transistors in ICs. IEEE Std.1149.1-2013 and IEEE Std.1687 standardize the access to these embedded instruments. IEEE Std.1687 enables reconfigurable scan networks which allow only desirable inst

As a result of the current climate crisis, which reflects people's unsustainable consumer behaviour, there is an increased need for companies to apply sustainability strategies. One of the responses to the crisis is the increasing number of packaging-free grocery stores that have opened across Europe. These new stores have the intent of reducing waste by using, for instance, Circular Economy s

The insurance industry is notoriously conservative and has seen comparably few technological improvements in the last fifty years. A wave of new technology- driven insurance firms, or insurtechs, is changing that. By leveraging new technology and offering more customer-centric and innovative products, these firms have captured shares in many insurance markets. One technology — yet to be broadly a

Börsintroduktioner sker årligen vilka uppmärksammas i media i olika utsträckningar. Dessa medievågor mäts av ett så kallat Search Volume Index vilket vi använt oss av för att se hur aktiekursen och avkastningarna påverkats av uppmärksamheten bolagen får vid börsintroduktion. Prisutvecklingen baseras också på om aktien är under- eller överprissatt vilket också undersöks i studien. Indexet har sats

Scholars discuss about the importance of processes of communication in which all stakeholders actively participate influencing the constitution and development of change and organizations. However, communication professionals struggle to em-brace these assumptions and modify their roles and practices in these complex set-tings. This study aims to understand how practitioners adapt their roles in t

A great number of cotton swabs from crime scenes are sent to the Swedish National Forensic Center each year for analyzation of DNA. Many of the swabs contain small amounts of cells and therefore it’s important to optimize the sampling of cells and the extraction of DNA. This would make more samples useful for DNA profiling and possibly be used as evidence. Today, a large amount of cotton, to wher

In September 2015, in the aftermath of the European refugee crisis, the European Union made a decision regarding a relocation program to move refugees from Italy and Greece to other member states. Poland voted in favor of the decision, but then didn’t follow through their obligations. The purpose of this paper is to study Poland's decision not to participate in the relocation program and to un

This report describes the development of a bathtub aid, called the tub insert. The report is a part of a master thesis and primarily focuses on the concept development of this tub insert, which is based on the front-end process presented by Ulrich and Eppinger. The development is conducted at a Swedish company within medical technology. The purpose of this report is to initiate the design process

Biogas istället för diesel i lastbilarna - Varför inte? Det är bråttom att minska utsläppen av växthusgaser i samhället om vi ska kunna motverka klimatförändringarna och undvika de allvarliga konsekvenser som mänskligheten och ekosystem riskerar att drabbas av. En stor utmaning i Sverige är att byta ut dieseln i alla lastbilar som rullar på våra vägar. Kanske kan biogas vara den klimatsmarta lösnIn order to counteract the ongoing climate change, fossil fuels must be replaced with renewable alternatives in all sectors of society. The transport system is one of Sweden’s most important fossil dependent branches to redirect in this regard. Research suggests that biogas is a renewable alternative that in comparison with other biofuels seem to have a substantial potential and environmental adva

The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to examine posts in the facebook group“Försäkringskassanupproret!” and it’s discontent with the Swedish Social Insurance Agencyas a part in a larger critique of the welfare state and its institutions. To do this we developed atheoretical framework out of the literature surrounding grievance and framing through whichwe analyzed our research material. The mater

Vind, sol och en hel del dynga Innan den sydafrikanska dyngbaggen Kheper lamarcki kan kasta sig över sin gourmetmåltid måste den ta sig bort från dynghögen och den hastigt ökande konkurrensen. Det mest effektiva sättet att åstadkomma detta på är att backa i en rak linje. Hur lyckas man med detta om man är en dyngbagge? Studier har visat att dessa baggar har förmågan att utnyttja himlavalvets olikOnce the South African dung beetle Kheper lamarcki has constructed its ball of dung, it strives to escape the competition at the dung pile and locate soft ground to dig down. The most efficient way to do this is to move away along a straight path. One way to achieve this is by using celestial cues as orientation references. However, when these cues fail to provide sufficient directional informatio
