Aluminium och Aluminiumlegeringar, som förutom aluminium innehåller några få procent av andra metaller, används i flera olika produkter såsom mobiltelefoner, flygplan, bilar och byggnader. Bland annat är aluminiumlegeringar det mest använda byggtekniska materialet efter järnlegeringar. Det breda användandet av aluminiumlegeringar förklaras av de många fördelaktiga egenskaperna. Till exempel har leIn this thesis, the studies of native and anodic oxides on both aluminum model single crystal surfaces as well as on aluminum alloys found in applications are presented. The focus has been on the characterization in situ as the oxide is growing by an electrochemical process called anodization. For the investigations, a combination of various X-ray scattering and spectroscopy methods, as well as el

For the endohedral fullerene molecule HoLu2N@C80, it is shown that the endohedral HoLu2N unit may be oriented in a magnetic field. The Ho magnetic moment is fixed in the strong ligand field and aligns along the holmium-nitrogen axis. The torque of a magnetic field on the Ho magnetic moment leads to a hopping bias of the endohedral unit inclining to an orientation parallel to the externally applied

In this contribution, Göransson explores the historical background of classical philology,in particular Latin, in Sweden. Research in Latin encompasses studies on Latin of alltimes: both classical, medieval and Neo-Latin. Göransson discusses the growth of the subjectboth in the upper secondary school and in the universities in the late 1990s. Today,however, the economic system is hard on all minor

This paper is a first attempt to make a comparative analysis of Swedish banking crises over time – focusing on how the crises were handled. The empirical material is also compared to economic theories on crises management, i.e. lender of last resort and bank bailouts. The main questions are: How do the crises management relate to economic theories, i.e. to what extent did the crises management fol

Mobile business intelligence (m-BI) denotes the delivery of business information on mobile devices, such as tablets and smartphones. m-BI promises to support the mobile workforce in making decisions just in time. Yet, a lack of knowledge exists on how m-BI use can actually lead to improved decisionmaking performance at the individual level. This void of understanding has implications for both prac

Financial crises occur at regular and unpredictable moments in capitalist economies. However, an absence of shared theoretical approaches to and even definitions of the subject still plague the analysis of financial crises. This situation makes historical analysis even more important. This article compares two Swedish financial crises, one in the 1920s and the other in the 1930s. The comparison sh
