Aerotaxy offers an alternative method for the manufacturing of semiconductor nanowires. Instead of seeding growth on an expensive substrate, aerosol seed particles act as the catalyst for the Vapor–Liquid–Solid growth in a hot flow through reactor. This thesis investigates the possibility of self-seeded GaAs nanowires grown from Ga seed particles replacing the regularly employed Au, hence eliminat

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the effect the no-da construction has on the politeness of two sentence types: requests and quotations followed by opinion. The purpose is, more specifically, to examine whether claims regarding the effect no-da has on these sentence types, made by Kuno (1973) and McGloin (1980), can be supported or not. The claim regarding requestive sentences, made by bot

The choice of which potential evapotranspiration (PET) model to use when estimating streamflow using a rainfall-runoff model have been the topic of many studies. The aim with this thesis was to assess the robustness of six different PET models using HBV-light as rainfall-runoff model over three catchments in Sweden. The robustness was evaluated by using a differential split sample test (DSST) base

Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur redovisningskonsulten upplever förändringar i sin yrkesroll till följd av digitaliseringen, och vilken påverkan digitala instrument har på hur god redovisningssed efterföljs inom redovisningsbranschen. Vidare syftar studien till att undersöka hur intern kontroll av digitala instrument används för att legitimitet och tillförlitlighet i redovisningen uppnås.

This study’s purpose is to contribute to increased quality when measuring organizational wellness (OW) by exploring the potential of utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI). The concept of OW consists of several factors, for instance, safety, performance, and employee wellness. Measuring these factors too seldom may not generate profound and relevant data regarding the organization’s current state.

Purpose: The study aims to investigate how consumers explain and describe the discrepancy between the attitude towards sustainability and the behaviour when consuming outdoor clothing. This will be elucidated with theoretical frameworks re

Spökmål har försvårat radarövervakning sedan dess begynnelse, och i stadsmiljö är problemet ännu större. Med hjälp av maskininlärning verkar en lösning vara inom räckhåll. Radar har länge använts för att övervaka stora områden, exempelvis flygplatser eller länders luftrum. Inom övervakningsindustrin har man på senare år även börjat erbjuda mindre radarenheter med kortare räckvidd, då deras styrkoIn surveillance contexts, radars can be used to monitor an area, detecting and tracking moving objects inside it. Monitored areas in urban environments often contain many surfaces that reflect radar waves, which can have the undesired consequence of a single object producing multiple tracks due to multipath propagation effects. This thesis considers a method of identifying if a track is produced b

In modern state-development it is common practice to use one language for unifying people in a nation or region. However, in the wake of decolonisation, many African states found themselves struggling with the decision to pick a national language. African languages are rarely dominating whole nations, making it hard to choose one language as a tool for unity. The kiSwahili language is therefore a

This essay is questioning the place for dialects in audiobooks on the Swedish market. What are the publishing houses views of casting dialect voices and how are these voices perceived by the audiobook listeners? The theory is built around voice perception in audiobooks, representation and dialects in film, including works from Matthew Rubery, Iben Have & Birgitte Stougaard Pedersen and Jane Ho

The attention to the environmental impact of plastics materials used in food packaging has produced several studies in the last decade and consumers have started wondering about the utility and the functions of food packaging. In fact, the use and the production of plastic polymers cause pollution due to the disposal and to the CO2 emission. Besides that, even if new polymers from organic and biol

This thesis seeks to explore an architectural typology that can enhance mental healing qualities in the urban structure. Our modern fast-paced lifestyle has a big impact on our mental well-being and our stress levels are constantly high, while our feelings are continuously exposed to different external factors. This minimizes our ability to understand and process them and to finally get through a

Antibiotic resistant bacteria are emerging worldwide and have endangered the effectiveness of antibiotics. This problematic development has accelerated infections with antibiotic resistant bacteria and to counter this, the World Health Organization (WHO) recently published a report listing twelve antibiotic resistant pathogens that required the most attention. One of those is Streptococcus pneumon

This work concerns the creasing and folding of a continuum paperboard material model developed by Eric Borgqvist. Creasing is an operation that induces permanent deformation in the material, undertaken for the folding to be performed along a straight fold line without any in-plane cracks. The material model concerned is complex and involves a high degree of anisotropy, and it has earlier been prov

Introduction: Functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive method which uses a combination of a strong magnetic field and radio frequency pulses to image magnetic difference between oxygenated and deoxygenated blood in the human brain. This contrast differences can be used to identify areas in the brain when subjects performing an active task in the MRI scanner. It is also possibl

The Second Law of Thermodynamics is considered to be one of the most fundamental and important laws of Physics. Both Clausius and Kelvin reformulated the Second Law as statements concerning the behaviour of two communicating systems, set to interact at different temperatures. The average positive entropy production of any process, described by the Second Law, is often understood as a "thermod
