Since 2004 when mechanical exfoliation was first utilised to produce single layered samples of graphite, 2D materials have gained interest in the scientific community. With the prerequisite that the initial bulk material has a layered structure, these 2D materials have created an opportunity to examine materials on a very small scale as well as opening the possibility of creating smaller electrica

Self-Organizing Network (SON) functions include self-configuration, dynamic optimization and self-healing of networks. In the era of 5G, mobile operators are increasingly exploring areas of SON through Machine Learning (ML) techniques. It is seen that 5G packet switched networks are often hit with radio link failures, an important Key Performance Indicator (KPI). Reasons for a dropped call ranges

Bakgrund Enligt svensk lagstiftning är egenvård när legitimerad hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal gjort bedömningen att en patient kan genomföra en hälso- och sjukvårdsåtgärd självständigt. Bedömningen ska göras tillsammans med patienten med hänsyn till hens autonomi och integritet. Sjuksköterskor ansåg att de hade en avgörande roll för egenvård, deras ansvar var att informera patienten och skapa medve

Utbrottet av coronaviruset Covid-19 har påverkat världen drastiskt på mycket kort tid. Syftet med studien var att studera upplevelsen av vilken påverkan pandemin har på den mentala hälsan, samt vilka grupper som är mer sårbara för psykisk ohälsa och vilka faktorer som är predicerande för att drabbas. Studien genomfördes i en tvärsnittsdesign med en webbenkät till svensktalande personer (n = 360) öThe outbreak of the corona virus Covid-19 has changed the world in a very short time. This study aimed to understand the effects of the pandemic on mental health, and to find groups at risk for mental illness as well as associated factors. The study was conducted as an online cross-sectional survey (n = 360), to Swedish speaking people 18 years or older. More than 55% reported that their mental he

The Swedish government has increased security but also various efforts in Sweden to reduce organized crime. Despite all efforts to reduce gang crime in Sweden, it is increasing enormously. Shootings, robberies, murders and explosions are increasing every day. The Swedish government started a 34-point program that works against gang crime, but gang crime has still increased. The 34-point program in

Several academics, geographical economists and policy makers have sought to investigate the interplay between business clusters and tourism development. This dynamic is significant in emerging nations and less developed rural areas where tourism emergence may affect economic growth, society and environment. While previous studies tend to investigate well established tourism destinations, few have

For individuals with gender dysphoria, voice therapy can be an important tool to change characteristics about their voice to align better with their gender identity. This is often done by practising with a speech therapist and can be a long and difficult process. A useful tool in this setting would be software that can generate a voice, based on the patients voice, which lies slightly closer to th

This project started with an exploration of how logistics that is created by design could be re-imagined, leaving some material of an product to be sourced by the user locally. Saving weight and space during transportation, but also to generate another kind of user participation and knowledge With this in mind, a collaboration with IKEA was initiated with the end goal to do a product for their sh

Snö. Vid en första anblick upplevs ett snötäckt landskap som kallt, livlöst och förödande. Varje år förbereder sig landskapet för vintern genom att tappa löv, gå i ide eller förflytta sig söderut. Tyvärr är det dock få som vet hur viktig snön är för vår existens. En snörik eller en torr vinter formar sommaren. Snötäcket hjälper till att bevara fukten i jorden och kan förebygga de kraftiga skogsbräSnow. At first sight a snow-covered landscape is considered cold, lifeless and destructive. Each year the landscape prepares for the winter by losing its leaves, going into hibernating or moving to a warmer climate. Snow is far from being just a lifeless white powder covering the ground. Unfortunately, only a few people know how important snow is for our existence. The previous winter season molds

This report elaborates on the renovation of residential housing development from Danish modernism built between the 1930s and late 1950s. The period represents a significant moment in the history of Danish architecture. Modernist ideas gained ground in the housing sector and secured attractive and healthy living conditions for Danish working- and middle-class people. The most renowned architects w

Our oceans are filling up with plastic waste and this fact became the main inspiration for this project. I think it is important that us humans question our consumption and usage of plastic. A way to diminish the amount of plastics ending up in the ocean and nature is through a change in our behaviour and our habits. A lot of the plastics come from using single-use plastics and throwing it away. O

This paper reports the results of a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study that tested predictions on changes in visual word perception. The neural correlates of visual word perception were examined twice over the course of three months. During this interval a group of interpreter students engaged in intense language learning, while a control group completed regular university-level cl

This thesis represents results from a numerical study of the ventilation system in the control room in the Swedish submarine A26. This thesis's primary focus is to study and examine the performance and efficiency of the current ventilation system. The ventilation system is very critical and crucial in enclosed environments. Many factors and parameters are affected by the installed system. In c

Abstract Purpose: The purpose of this study is to understand the strategic choices made to activate nostalgia in the relaunches of Igloo and Cuba Cola. Methodology: Qualitative research based on primary and secondary data. Primary data was created by three interviews. Two case studies were conducted and analyzed over two time periods by applying the ‘Corporate Brand Identity Matrix’ and ‘4A:s of r

Abstrakt Övervikt och fetma är ett samhällsproblem och har ökat bland barn och ungdomar i hela världen. Tidigare har övervikt och fetma betraktats som ett problem i höginkomstländer men är idag lika vanligt i låginkomstländer. Barn med övervikt eller fetma löper större risk att drabbas av följdsjukdomar. Övervikt är en riskfaktor som kan leda till fetma. Fetma däremot är en sjukdom. BVC-sköterska

This thesis focuses on the dynamics in the Spanish Government’s stance towards Gibraltar during the post-Brexit period (2016-2019). The study is guided by three aims. On the theoretical level, it sets out an explanatory framework for the analysis of the dynamics in the territorial disputes by combining approaches to irredentism and foreign policy change. On the empirical level, it reexamines the c

Uppsatsen klargör svenska arbetsgivares anpassningsskyldighet och hur långt den sträcker sig. Uppsatsen undersöker även om det finns en liknande skyldighet i Norge och Danmark och sedan görs en jämförelse mellan de olika länderna. Skyldigheten att anpassa arbetet i en situation där en individ har en funktionsnedsättning är lika i de skandinaviska länderna. Detta beror bland annat på att länderna h

This thesis seeks to explore the potential for 3D archaeological datasets to become the ‘living resources’ advocated by Morgan and Wright (2018). This process is examined through lenses of object agency, object biography, Chaîne opératoire, formation processes and posthumanist theory with an aim to assess the capacity of digital approaches for enabling the self-reflexive ‘slow archaeology’ idealis
