En av de mest användbara instrumenten för identifiering av ädelstenar är refraktometern. Standardrefraktometern är baserad på synligt ljus, men en första generationens infraröd refraktometer är ute på marknaden. Den här nya refraktometern har inte visat rätt värden och därför är syftet med detta projekt att testa olika parametrar och se deras påverkan på resultaten. En av de mest användbara instrOne of the most valuable instruments for gem identification is the refractometer. The standard refractometer is based on visible light, but a first generation infrared refractometer is out on the market. This new refractometer has not showed accurate values, and therefore the purpose of this project has been to test different parameters and see their influence on the results. The temperature seem

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the conflict of Norrvikens trädgårdar (Norrviken's Gardens) in the rural community of Båstad municipality in Sweden. For a long time, this park has been an arena for conflicts about land use and physical planning. With a theoretical approach, founded on second home tourism, the thesis examines the struggle between the different actors. Second home touri

Computer-aided modeling for simulation, optimization and analysis is increasingly used for product development in industry today, resulting in high demands on the tools used. A tool chain for transferring interpreted code of the modeling languages Modelica and Optimica from the simulation and optimization tool JModelica.org to CasADi has been implemented. CasADi provides several desirable features

This thesis has the purpose to increase the understanding of knowledge sharing between dispersed units of a large organization. By conducting a qualitative study with an abductive approach, consisting of a case study at Volvo Group where we looked into a cross-functional committee, we researched what the knowledge sharing processes look like and what barriers hinder the sharing of knowledge. We us

Alunskiffern är en svart till mörkbrun lerskiffer av mellankambrisk till tidig ordovicisk ålder med ett högt organiskt innehåll. Skiffern innehåller också stora mängder spårelement och är känd för sitt höga inne-håll av bland annat uran och pyritbundet svavel. Alunskifferns speciella sammansättning avspeglas i dess bildnings-miljö som antas sakna moderna analogier. Idag förekommer den svenska alunThe alum shale is a black to dark brown shale of middle cambrian to early ordovician age and has a high organic content. Certain trace elements are also abundant and the shale is known for large amounts of uranium, and sulfur associated with pyrite. The unique constitution of the alum shale is reflected in its depositional environment which is assumed to lack any modern analogy. The Swedish alum s

Syftet med denna studie är att vi vill beskriva vad de skärpta reglerna i lag (SFS 2009:62) om åtgärder mot penningtvätt och finansiering av terrorism innebär för revisorer. Vi vill även diskutera om och hur revisorerna fullföljer det ansvar som följer med lagstiftningen. Empirin består av sju semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Fyra intervjuer är gjorda med representanter från revisionsbyråer och tre

The purpose of our study is to investigate the concept of business scapegoating and its influencing constructs and how they could be hindered. A constructionist approach is used with a grounded theory strategy. Concerning our qualitative research, an exploratory method was used followed by discourse analysis, serving as a support function, which constitutes a triangulation method. The theoretical

The amount of trips abroad made by Finns every year has been increasing steadily for 15 years. However, how Finns perceive or manage risks related to travelling abroad is not well known. Traditionally, risk management has been studied as a separate part of the daily life of people. This thesis focuses on the notion that risk management in travel practices can be better understood by applying ethno

Genom 1990 års skattereform separerades kapitalinkomster och arbetsinkomster. Det infördes särskilda regler som hindrar delägare i fåmansföretag att ta ut arbetsinkomster som lägre beskattad utdelning eller avyttring av aktier. Att inneha företagsformen fåmansbolag ska vara neutral gentemot andra företagsformer. Endast delägare som varit aktiva i bolaget berörs av 3:12 reglerna och den centrala av

Bakgrund: De blivande föräldrarna har ofta svårt att förstå vad fosterdiagnostik så som KUB syftar till. Därför är barnmorskans kunskap och hennes förmåga att förmedla informationen till den gravida kvinnan/paret betydelsefull, för att de ska kunna göra ett informerat val. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka barnmorskans inställning till och kunskaper om KUB samt om det finns behov av en m

China is undergoing the rapid economic growth as well as the social problems brought about. The influx of floating population is a big supplement to the labor force in cities while the social integration process of the these out-comers is not agreeable. Limited by hukou status and related social welfare system, the floaters find themselves even more difficult to get integrated into the cities with

With a new regionalisation process in Europe a number of macro-regions are appearing. The same as countries or cities, macro-regions aim at developing or increasing the competitiveness in the global markets not only for products or funds, but also for ideas, influence and reputation, for trust and attention. The model of competitive identity – the brand management model for nations, cities and reg

Korruption i internationella affärstransaktioner har blivit ett allt mer omfattande problem då den gränsöverskridande handeln har ökat. Korruptionen ökar transaktionskostnader, ställer upp hinder för fri handel och leder till ineffektivitet i form av nepotism och brist på transparens. Detta leder till att korruptionen orsakar fattigdom, instabilitet och tvister. En fördjupad förståelse om korrupt

Barnarbete är i dagens globaliserade värld ett gränsöverskridande komplext problem, vilket debatteras hett. Det uppskattas, att 211 miljoner barn i åldrarna 5-14 år och ytterligare 141 miljoner i åldrarna 15-17 år, arbetar av någon form. Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka företagens samhällsansvar gentemot barn som utför arbete i andra tillverkningsländer än Sverige. Uppsatsen behandlar frågan om

Failure in entrepreneurial initiatives is often considered beneficial for entrepreneurial learning, as entrepreneurs learn from such experience through reflection on why it occurred. However, the actors involved are heterogeneous, implying they may interpret failure differently, and, consequently, their learning outcomes may also differ. Using attribution theory as the main theoretical framework,

The aim of this study was to examine how Swedish women who are living in Japan as expatriates experience their life by studying their social networks and the relationships they formed. By interviewing six Swedish women, using semi-structured interviews, it was possible to identify three major themes that seemed to have a major role in how the women viewed themselves and how they described their ti

Enligt tidigare forskning inom vittnespsykologi minns människor handlingsrelaterad respektive deskriptiv information olika. De skattar också olika grad av konfidens beroende på informationstyp. Vidare visar forskning att konfidensskattningar hos ett vittne kan vara en viktig informationskälla vid korrekthetsbedömningar av de rapporterade minnena. Studier visar även att individer skiljer sig åt gälAccording to previous research, people remember action details and descriptive details differently. They also express different level of confidence for different kinds of memory details. Moreover, research shows that confidence expressed by an eyewitness can be important information when evaluating the accuracy of memory reports. Research also shows that individuals differ in terms of how they eva

Enhancing stability of YAC in S. cerevisiae The aim of the study was to develop S. cerevisiae strain that can maintain yeast artificial chromosome (YAC) for prolonged period. The enzymes for taxadiene biosynthesis were cloned on YAC and introduced into engineered strain. Ultimately heterologous pathway was superimposed on native ergosterol pathway. The strain development was achieved by target
