In the last decades, engineers have been pushing semiconductor technology towards fabricating ever smaller devices, and will eventually pass the lower limit of currently commonplace optical lithographic techniques. New techniques have been developed, such as nanoimprint lithography. Stamp fabrication is the key for nanoimprint, and stamps often need to be bought from an external company. In this t
The aim of this study is to explore the thoughts of August Quennerstedt, the Swedish zoologist active during the turn of the twentieth century, with regard to his ideas on environmental protection. In doing so, the study seeks to identify and historically explain the main notions behind the arguments for protecting the environment as put forth by Quennerstedt in his written lecture ”Naturen och mä
This thesis utilizes mean-variance analysis and Sharpe-ratio optimization to explore the possibilities of adding cryptocurrencies to enhance portfolio performance. While earlier such research has focused on Bitcoin alone, this study examines 17 of the largest cryptocurrencies, selected based on their market capitalization. In addition to examining these cryptocurrencies’ potential as investments,
Non-destructive testing (NDT) is a vital part of aerospace manufacturing due to high demands for quality and safety. Advances in materials science have given rise to aerospace composites with highly improved properties compared to traditional materials. To ensure that materials can be used safely, NDT techniques are continuously improved to follow advances in materials. This has also spurred devel
This study aims to explore the impact of paid work in the Ethiopian export-oriented garment industry on women’s empowerment, as perceived by the women themselves. The study first explores the reasons for why and how women pursue paid work in the industry. It further examines the ways in which paid work might affect women’s intra-household decision-making. By focusing on the experiences among vario
Every third child in Germany has a migration background, which makes social negotiations on the participation of migrants and their descendants in this diverse society increasingly relevant. Therefore, the study examines how Migrant Organisations (MOs) and Post-Migrant Organisations (PMO) engage in contentious politics in the context of this increasing plurality. To do that, the already establishe

Christopher Isherwood’s A Single Man is set in California in the early 1960s and follows a day in the life of the gay protagonist George, who finds it necessary to keep his sexuality hidden due to the widespread intolerance of homosexuals. The purpose of this essay is to examine how Isherwood draws parallels between different misfit groups to shed light on the situation of homosexuals at a time wh
Despite the positive effects of physical activity in both physical and mental health, the proportion of Swedes who have a poor physical health is increasing. The aim of this research was to create knowledge according to what affects a physically active behavior. We used the motivational theory health action process approach (HAPA) and the goal setting technique SMART to find out if any of their co
Syftet med studien är undersöka och kartlägga hur konsumenters förtroende bevaras vid övergång från fysisk aktör till digital inom apoteksbranschen. Uppsatsen är som via en kvalitativ forskningsmetod via en abduktiv forskningsansats. Analys och slutsats bygger på empiri som erhållits genom datainsamling från semistrukturerade djupintervjuer. Genom analys av det empiriska materialet tillsammans med
Studien syftar till att besvara frågan huruvida en signifikant likviditetspremie kan påvisas på Stockholmsbörsens small-, mid- och large-cap-listor för varje enskilt år under tidsperioden 2005 till och med 2015. Med utgångspunkt i resultaten ämnar studien bidra med en bedömning av huruvida investerare kompenseras för illikviditet på Stockholmsbörsen. Urvalet till studiens empiri består av data hämThe purpose of the study is to determine if a statistically significant liquidity premium can be found on the size-based listings large-, mid-, and small-cap of Stockholm Stock Exchange, for every individual year spanning from 2005 to 2015. Moreover, the study aims to provide a general perception of whether investors are compensated for carrying the risk of illiquidity. To fulfill the purpose of t
Syftet med uppsatsen är att öka förståelsen för riskerna vid en planerad organisationsförändring gällande effekterna på medarbetarnas kreativitet, samt att lyfta möjliga motmedel mot de oönskade konsekvenserna.
This master thesis project was carried out at the Division of Innovation Engineering at Lund University and at Axis Communications AB in Lund. The thesis has investigated the possibility of using PV cells as a direct power source for small scale applications to meet the problems of heat management in electrical equipment. The investigation has been performed on a global level as well as on a local
Den odränerade skjuvhållfastheten är en viktig geoteknisk parameter som man behöver ha en god uppfattning om i samband med byggnation på lerrika jordarter. Då flertalet av de vanligen tillämpade undersökningsmetoderna är väldigt tidskrävande och kostsamma, finns det ett stort intresse för att undersöka hur alternativa och samtidigt mer enkelt mätbara parametrar, så som flytindex (IL), förhåller siUndrained shear strength is a crucial parameter of the clay-rich sediments commonly used in the design process of geotechnical structures and is determined by several tests. As a considerable part of these tests are cost- and time consuming, it is of interest to investigate the potential relationship with shear strength (cu) with alternative, easily measurable parameters, such as liquidity index (
Syfte: Studien beskriver hur produkter med symboliskt värde fungerar inom access-based consumption (ABC), vilket uppnås genom att analysera hur bilen förknippas med identitet i denna kontext. Detta sker med utgångspunkt i individens motiv, tankar och drivkrafter. Metod: En kvalitativ studie har genomförts med ett hermeneutiskt fenomenologiskt tillvägagångssätt. Den bygger på en abduktiv ansats me
