The current thesis presents the results from a neutron reflectometry analysis performed on data collected at ISIS in Rutherford Appleton Laboratories, England, in October 2017. The CRISP instrument was used and the Multi-Blade incorporated as a detector. This was the first attempt ever to use the Multi-Blade in this type of measurement. The Multi-Blade is a cold and thermal neutron detector curren

This research advances the theoretical knowledge of the entrepreneurial process by investigating opportunity recognition, evaluation and exploitation in the context of prototyping. In particular, this thesis studies if, how and why the phenomenon changes the new venture creation process. Eight in-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with founders of startups offering a digital solution

This paper examines if the simultaneous fiscal consolidations of the United Kingdom and Greece after 2010 are related to each individual country’s successive development in economic growth. By using data mainly from the countries’ own national statistical institutions two hypotheses argue that each country’s development in economic growth is due to an exogenous shift of a thought IS-curve, either

Den här studien har undersökt hur den formella och informella kommunikationen sker i ett aktivitetsbaserat kontor samt vilken roll digitala verktyg har i ett aktivitetsbaserat kontor, vilket i sin tur påverkar internkommunikationen. Med ett hermeneutiskt förhållningssätt har elva kvalitativa intervjuer med medarbetare från olika avdelningar på ett svenskt telekombolag genomförts. Resultatet visar

Bevisvärdering av barns och vuxnas utsagor har länge varit ett omdiskuterat ämne där rättssäkerheten i domstolens fria bevisvärdering har ifrågasatts. I våldtäktsmål är det vanligt att stödbevisning saknas och att ord står mot ord. Hela åtalet tvingas då bygga på målsägandens utsaga, men hur duktig är egentligen domaren på att avgöra huruvida en utsaga är sann eller falsk? Har domaren den kunskap Evaluation of evidence of children's and adults' statements has, for a long time, been a controversial subject where the legal certainty in the court's free evaluation has been in question. In rape cases it is common that they lack direct evidence. The entire prosecution is then forced to build on the complainant’s statement, but how accurate is the judge in determining whether a state

I svensk rätt finns bestämmelser om skadebegräsning 70 § köplagen. Att bedöma huruvida denna skadebegränsningsplikt ska gälla också utomobligatoriskt har genom åren vållat rättsvetenskapsmännen vissa bekymmer. Denna framställning har till syfte att undersöka och klargöra innebörden av skadebegränsningsplikten i svensk rätt. Särskilt fokus ligger här på de lojalitetshänsyn som anses motivera skadebIn Swedish law there are provisions on mitigation in Section 70 of the Sale of Goods act. The assessment of whether this mitigation obligation should also apply non-contractually has caused legal scientists some concerns over the years. The purpose of this paper is to investigate and clarify the meaning of the obligation to mitigate your losses in Swedish law. Particular attention is given to the

Figurative language can be approached in several ways. This essay examines the use of similes in Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre. All similes in the novel were collected and divided into categories based on the vehicle used. The largest categories that I have identified, I have termed “Nature and its forces”, “Concrete objects” and “Abstractions”. The similes are further divided into sub-categories b

17 kap. 10 § LOU stadgar att ett kontrakt eller ramavtal får ändras i enlighet med en ändrings- eller optionsklausul utan att en ny upphandling måste genomföras, om kontraktets eller ramavtalets övergripande karaktär inte ändras, om klausulen har angetts i något av upphandlingsdokumenten och klart, exakt och entydigt beskriver under vilka förutsättningar den kan tillämpas. Vidare ska klausulen äve17th chapter 10th § of the Swedish Public Procurement Act statues that a contract or a framework agreement may be modified without a new procurement procedure in accordance with a review clause or option, if the clause does not provide for modifications that would alter the overall nature of the contract. The review clause shall be set out in the initial procurement documents. Such a clause shall

Uppsatsen har som syfte att undersöka domare i svenska domstolar, professorer och andra statsanställdas anställningsskydd. Alla tre yrkesgrupper var tidigare anställda med fullmakt, vilket innebar att de i princip var oavsättliga. Domare har kvar den formen av anställning men statsanställda och professorer har förlorat möjligheten till fullmaktsanställnig och jag vill veta varför det är så. Genom The essay's purpose is to investigate the employment security of court judges, professors at the universities and other government officials. All three of these professions used to be employed by power of attorney by the government, which meant that they were more or less irremovable. Judges are still employed in this way, but government officials and professors have lost the right of employme

Finding your identity is an on-going process influenced by a lot of factors. The process of finding your identity is in constant motion and totally depending on the norms of society, parental values, and the impact the school and friends has over you. We aim to study the process of identity for youths born in Sweden with parents born in a foreign country, how they experiencing their identity and h

The study aims to examine the effects on election results for three nische parties’ in Sweden due to mainstream parties accommodating nische parties’ politics, as well as why these effects appear. This is relevant since mainstream parties may accommodate not because it finds it attractive or aversive, but because the mainstream party recognizes a strategy attractive in order to eliminate an oppone

Migration and refugee policy is a contested subject in Swedish politics. Several academic studies argue that the discourse among political parties securitized the subject of migration and refugee policy post 2015 and the subsequent migration crisis. Yet, these studies do not investigate whether the core ideological values of the parties are affected by securitization. The aim of this paper is to e

År 2012 hittade man Higgs boson vid LHC i CERN, den här partikeln är nyckeln för att beskriva hur partiklar får sina massor i standardmodellen. Vad vi fortfarande inte vet, är vilka massor partiklarna får. Detta måste mätas experimentellt och är inte något vi kan teoretiskt förutsäga. Det visar sig att de observerade massorna är vitt skilda, vi har allt från toppkvarkens massa: 172 GeV $\approx 3\In this Master thesis we extend the Standard Model with an additional $U(1)$ gauge group and an additional Higgs doublet with a lepton specific $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry. This is used in a gauged version of the Froggatt-Nielsen mechanism to describe the observed masses and mixings among fermions. To reproduce these observables and satisfy the anomaly constraints posed by the new gauge symmetry metho

Stater ingår skatteavtal huvudsakligen i syfte att undanröja internationell juridisk dubbelbeskattning, som anses uppställa ett hinder för utvecklingen av mellanstatliga ekonomiska förbindelser. I skatteavtal förpliktigar sig stater att begränsa sina skatteanspråk till förmån för den andra statens beskattningsrätt. Avtalens begränsande effekt i kombination med skillnader i staters interna skattesyThe main reason for states to enter into tax treaties is to prevent international juridical double taxation, which is considered to have harmful effects on cross-border economic relations. In tax treaties, states oblige themselves through international law not to raise taxes with respect to taxing rights given to the other state under the treaty. A well-known problem is that taxpayers can exploit

Introduktion Simuleringsmetoder är något som numera förekommer i en mängd olika sammanhang. De förekommer i olika former vid produktutveckling i industrin samt för att t ex studera komplexa system inom vetenskapen. Utöver detta förekommer det även i spel-och filmindustrin. I det stora hela handlar det om att skapa en förenklad dator-representation av verkligheten, så att man kan studera vissa föIn this thesis, an implementation of inline integration is described and examined. Inline integration is a mixed symbolic and numerical method for simulating fully implicit ordinary differential equations (DAE:s) whereby discretizations are introduced symbolically at model level. A generalized solution to the discretized model containing tailored iterative solving schemes and symbolic solutions is

In this master thesis, cold moderator flow concepts have been developed on behalf of the European Spallation Source, ESS AB in Lund. The function of the cold moderator is to slow down neutrons, generated in the spallation process. The moderation is done in liquid para-hydrogen at 15 bar and 17 K. Moderating neutrons is the primary function of the liquid hydrogen, but it also removes nuclear heat l

The quality inspection of wooden boards is experiencing a large change. By the use of camera and laser technology board characteristics and defects can be instantly identified and measured. This thesis investigates how the information from a quality inspection system can be used to classify boards into different quality classes, by the use of statistical classification models. Two types of classif

One could argue that the responsibility of a designer increases the more consumptionbased society gets. When we focus on norms and stereotypes such as gender in the design process, it’s easy to create exclusion. By having a discussion around gender in design education, we do not only highlight the issue, we can also start to create new ways of thinking around design. With the help of my product wh
