The Compact Linear Collider (CLIC), is one of the proposed successors to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) accelerator at the European Organization for Nuclear Research. (CERN). In CLIC, particles are accelerated by very strong electric fields. Unfortunately, large electric fields may lead to vacuum discharges, which in turn can affect the particle beam by disrupting the flow of energy inside the ac
In order to alleviate the financial burden on the healthcare sector as well as relax its employees’ workload, there is a need to introduce novel tools that automate some of the tasks that today are performed manually. Especially pathology poses a problem with few pathologists, demanding manual labour and unnecessary work on benign tissue. As a response, the DOGS project aims to develop a tool to a
Under de senaste åren har uppmärksamheten kring Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) utvecklats (Grankvist, 2009) i enlighet med den ökade köpintentionen för etiska attribut som konsumenter uttrycker (Becker-Olsen et al, 2006; Lee et al, 2010, 2005; Mai, 2014). Forskare har funnit att den höga köpintentionen (avsikten att köpa) för etiska attribut återspeglas inte i det faktiska köpbeteendet (utfCorporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been gaining more attention in recent years (Grankvist, 2009) as consumers have indicated a strong support intention for ethical attributes (Becker-Olsen et al, 2006; Lee et al, 2010, 2005; Mai, 2014). Researchers have found that this support intention does not imply a strong correlation to purchase behavior (Carrigan and Attalla, 2001). In fact, the purch
The Greater Cairo is one of the most crowded cities in the world and it is the biggest metropolitan area in Middle East. The high population density in the Greater Cairo causes traffic problems that harm many living aspects. This study discusses one of the solutions for limiting the traffic congestions using bicycle as an alternative transportation mean which is already applied in many other count
ISO 14001 är en internationell miljöcertifiering för företag som vill arbeta mer effektivt med sina miljöpåverkande aspekter. Även om det inte går att fastställa att ISO 14001-certifierade företag faktiskt minskar sin miljöpåverkan, visar tidigare studier att certifierade företag uppfyller miljölagkrav bättre än icke-certifierade företag. Ett av kraven som ställs på företag när de certifieras är aEven though there is little evidence that ISO 14001 certified companies actually reduce their environmental impact, previous studies show that certified companies comply to environmental regulatory demands better than non-certified companies. The purpose of this study is to examine the regulatory compliance of ISO 14001 certified companies in the south of Sweden. The empirical data is based on ins
Ett av mina starkaste minnen kring arkitektur är minnet ä av en pojke som cyklar på en trehjuling Han trampar snabbt på tramporna och far fram genom korridorerna inne på hotellet där han bor. Dörrarna in till hotellrummen på vardera sidan om honom svischar snabbt förbi. Trehjulingens däck låter dämpat mot den mjuka mattan på golvet när pojken cyklar om hörn efter hörn innan han plötsligt stannar fOne of my strongest memories concerning architecture is the memory of a boy, riding his tricycle. He’s pedaling fast. He’s shooting through the corridors of the hotel where he’s living with his mom and dad. The doors to the hotel rooms on either side of him pass by in a fast pace. The wheels of the tricycle make muffled sounds against the soft carpets on the floor as the boy rides passed one corne
Artbildning genom hybridisering mellan blåhallon, Rubus caesius (Rosaceae), och björnbär inom Rubus sect. Corylifolii Jag har undersökt huruvida hybridisering mellan olika arter av krypbjörnbär, Rubus sect. Corylifolii, och blåhallon, R. caesius, kan leda till bildning av nya självständiga arter. För att kunna avgöra detta har jag tagit fram data från nukleära mikrosatelliter och jämfört vilka alWe have studied the genetic relations among blackberries, Rubus sect. Corylifolii, and dewberries, R. caesius, by comparing presumed hybrids with their parental taxa. To be able to determine the status of the hybrids we have observed absence or presence of nuclear microsatellite alleles in electrophoresis, and calculated the different relative genetic distances between the relevant taxa. Interpret
This thesis focuses on creating a climate adaptive and resilient neighborhood in and area currently serving as an industrial zone. With growing sprawl in Kampala and limited vacant land within the city Limits, the project focuses on developing inefficiently used areas within the city center and developing them into sustainable mixed function urban communities. This provides densification without t
Bakgrund: Helikopterskidåkning ter sig som en mer och mer populär aktivitet i Sverige. Det finns dock ingen forskning eller information om hur utvecklingen har sett ut. Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera och diskutera hur utvecklingsprocessen av helikopterskidåkning har sett ut ur ett nätverksperspektiv. Frågeställningar: Hur har utvecklingen av helikopterskidåkning sett ut i Åre ur e
Syftet med denna undersökning är att bidra med kunskap kring lärande och hur det är kopplat till självförtroende, självuppfattning och normer i undervisningen. Jag har valt att intervjua studenter från Musikhögskolan i Malmö, där jag för närvarande själv studerar till musiklärare. Studien utgår från studenternas perspektiv och är avgränsad till två huvudområden, undervisning i gehör och notläsninThe aim with this study is to try to contribute to the common knowledge about how learning is connected to self-confidence, and how norms and expectations influence a learning environment. I have interviewed students from Malmö Academy of Music (Sweden), where I am currently finishing my studies in music teacher education. The study assumes a student’s point of view, and is framed a round two sub
Den så kallade Malmö-revolten är en särartad händelse inom svensk historia. Den står i gränslandet mellan 1800- och 1900-talets tidstypiska konflikter. Med drag av båda tider så blir det ett av de viktiga skeendena i Malmös historia. Uppsatsen under strejken och Malmö-revolten 1890, utifrån Tillys teori om konfliktdriven politik. Primärmaterialet är protokoll och tidningsartiklar.
Using agenda setting theory, I have conducted a content analysis of British local newspaper articles to analyze reports regarding the Munich Agreement, which was signed September 30th, 1938. The theory is based on the assumption that media "controls" the reality which is shared with the readers. In a pre-digital society, local media outlets had far greater influence over the public agend
This essay deals with the so-called Islamic State´s propaganda paper Dabiq and how the use of history in it helps create historically based depictions of the Islamic State´s enemies. I have analysed the first four issues of Dabiq from 2014 and used Jakob Dahlbacka´s definition of religious use of history and prophetic use of history as an analytical frame. I have analysed both text and images in D
This essay explores the paradigm shift in linguistics taking place in the Soviet Union in 1950. Marrism was then the current paradigm which was based on a peculiar interpretation of marxism in lingustics. Unable to explain the new problems of Stalins postwar nationalistic turn it was subject to open discussion in Pravda. Using the theories of Thomas Kuhn the essay deals with the discussion taking
In November 2010 the largest outbreak in Sweden, and the second largest worldwide, of the parasite Cryptosporidium in public water supplies happened. The cause is still unknown, but the effects of the outbreak were that 27 000 inhabitants in the city of Östersund got infected. This study is a research of how other municipalities in Sweden are working with, preserving healthy drinking water, and ho
När petroleumföretag letar efter nya oljefyndigheter har de möjligheten att på själva borrsträngen fästa instrument som mäter olika egenskaper i berggrunden. En del instrument används för att bestämma hur stor andel mikroskopiska porer den sedimentära berggrunden består av och vilken vätska som ockuperar porerna. Porositeten ockuperas alltid av en vätska - formationsvatten, olja eller gas. Dessa vEvaluating reservoirs with alternating sequences of sand and shale meet the challenge of quantifying the effect from clay minerals. The clay minerals have an impact on logging tools and the resulting data. When not considering the effects, a formation evaluation will present incorrect results on e.g. porosity and water saturation leading to management decisions based on poor quality interpretation
Entrepreneurs in different countries and industries face many obstacles during their journey. It comes down to the entrepreneur to build strategies on how to overcome those obstacles. In this research, we focus on providing an in-depth analysis on the obstacles that Arab-immigrant entrepreneurs face in Sweden and how they overcome them. Immigrant entrepreneurship has had its fair share of research
Det här arbetet ämnar undersöka strömlinjeformade landformer i Löberöd med Lantmäteriets nya höjdmodell. Målet är att fastställa isens rörelseriktningar i området under den senaste deglaciationen. Med hjälp av höjdmodellen har drumlinernas ryggar markerats för att bestämma deras orientering i landskapet. Resultatet av detta visar tydligt tre olika isrörelseriktningar i området. RörelseriktningarnaThis work aims to investigate streamlined landforms at Löberöd by utilizing the latest elevation model produced by the Swedish national mapping agency (Lantmäteriet). The goal is to establish the ice flow direction in the area during the last deglaciation. Using the height model, the ridges of the drumlins have been marked to determine their orientation in the landscape. The data clearly suggests
This thesis focuses on participatory development discourse in Sweden’s support to civil society in developing countries, channelled through Swedish civil society organisations with which Sida has framework agreements. The thesis uses a modified version of Norman Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis, with an operationalisation of participatory development discourse that defines it as either for
With the increased efficiency of sequencing methods, large quantities of genomic information are quickly becoming available. To make use of this, methods are needed that can discern useful information from these vast data quantities. Such information could be the presence and position of specified genes with known properties. Due to their highly conserved sequences and their prevalence across all
