Smartphones ger dig tillgång till internet, tusentals appar och telefoni i en förpackning inte större än att den får plats i din ficka. Det är en av produkterna av 50 års forskning inom halvledarteknik. Forskning som idag står inför en stor utmaning med att fortsätta utvecklandet i samma takt som tidigare \cite{MArden2002371}. Den här artikeln beskriver försök att undersöka nya material som kan löThe down scaling of metal-oxide-semiconductor based devices has been halted by the shortcomings of silicon. To enable further miniaturization new materials are required. The proposed replacements include compound III-V semiconductors and high-k oxides, the implementation of which has been difficult. This work investigates metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitors fabricated on InAs substrate. The oxide

The public sector in Sweden has since the 1980´s looked for inspiration from businesses and corporations in the organization of their work. This due to the emergence of a management trend known as new public management. One effect has been a spread of the concept of lean in multiple public sector organizations all over the country. Lean is a concept and method used to achieve efficiency and qualit

I den här uppsatsen undersöks de två svenska översättningarna av Marlen Haushofers Die Wand (Väggen), Per-Erik Wahlunds från 1988 och Rebecca Lindskogs från 2014. Fokus ligger på hur bokens ideologiska budskap språkligt återges i respektive översättning och vilka tolkningsmöjligheter som öppnas upp för svenska läsare. Uppsatsen inleds med en genomgång av centrala feministiska tolkningar som gjorts

The law from 1994, the Swedish Act concerning support and service for persons with certain functional impairments (LSS) is an entitlement law that is meant to guarantee good living conditions and self-determination for different groups with disabilities. However, studies have shown that coercive measures still occur within organizations bound by the law. The aim of this study was to examine the re

BACKGROUND: Distress tolerance (DT), anxiety sensitivity (AS), and intolerance of uncertainty (IU) are transdiagnostic vulnerability factors for emotional distress. Some have argued that AS and IU are components of DT but this hypothesis has not been properly addressed yet, and neither has their relationship to trait anxiety. Self-report studies and to lesser extent small clinical trials suggest t

Följande uppsats baseras på en översättning av ett utdrag ur Tony Corindas bok 13 Steps to Mentalism, ett standardverk inom magiformen mentalism, där fokus ligger på att förutsäga publikdeltagares val samt ge sken av att läsa tankar. Översättningen presenteras i magisterarbetets första del, Översättningsdelen. Utdraget som översatts kommer från första kapitlet i boken som bär titeln Swami Gimmick.

The consumption of single use and disposable packaging has led to significant amounts of waste. A large share of food and beverage packaging products are multi-layered aseptic cardboard packages laminated with aluminium and principally with the Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE) plastic material. This multilayer design makes them poorly recyclable and causes that aluminium and LDPE layers are often i

I flera av EUs medlemsländer ses en ökning av hushållsanställda till följd av samhälleliga förändringar. Även i Sverige är antalet individer inom sektorn på uppgång. Nationellt och internationellt har arbete i privat hushåll historiskt karaktäriserats av att uteslutas från vissa arbetsrättsliga bestämmelser samt fallit under separata regleringar. Det finns idag tre möjliga avtalsförhållanden för dIn several of the EU member states, an increase in household employees is seen as a result of societal and demographic changes . Sweden has also seen an increased number of individuals in this trade. Both nationally and internationally this line of work has historically been characterized of being excluded from certain labor law provisions and falling under separate regulations. There are currentl

Global environmental issues concern a growing number of people and businesses are expected to communicate efforts towards environmental sustainability. Due to the controversial nature of its business practices and contribution to environmental problems, the oil industry holds a poor reputation and is considered to have a special need to communicate their efforts towards more sustainable business p

This work is based on a questionnaire, distributed mainly with Facebook and answered by 243 persons having French as their mother tongue. Their attitudes towards five official recommendations for a less discriminatory language were measured, and they were also asked what form of a work title they would use to describe a woman in 12 different phrases. The answers were then analysed according to dif

Hur ofta händer det att du inte slänger ditt avfall på rätt plats? Avfallshierarkin uppmuntrar godare resurshållning och genom att följa dess principer kan goda förutsättningar för att förebygga uppkomsten av avfall erhållas. Människan värdesätter miljöarbetet olika och förhoppningarna är att avfallsfrågan ska tas på ännu större allvar. Efterfrågan av biogas och fjärrvärme är större än mängden suIt is very important to understand that the amount of food waste and biomass discarded separately has a direct impact on how much biogas can be produced. E.ON Gas is an energy company with ambitions to live by the current framework for waste management which consist of five-step hierarchy where the waste treatment is ordered in a way that surveys the environment. The waste management hierarchy sta

Along with the increased popularity and wide usage of social networking platforms, such as Facebook, social commerce is emerging as an important category of e-commerce. In this study, we refined one type of C2C social commerce naming as C2C social commerce on social networking platforms (C2CSNP). It refers to that online users conduct both online marketing and selling activities of products/ servi

Talängslan, oron att tala inför publik, är ett stort problem för många elever i svenska gymnasieskolan. Inte minst för att läroplanerna har muntlig redovisning som centralt innehåll, men även för att eleverna befinner sig i ett känsligt skede då de är rädda för att bedömas negativt av sina kamrater. Trots det utbildas inte lärarstudenter i hur de ska hantera talängslan och inte heller har talängsl

The present study investigates whether the mean and the standard deviation of real GDP growth forecasts from the ECB Survey of Professional Forecasters (SPF) can help to explain the cross-sectional variation of expected returns in the German stock market. The expected real GDP growth from the SPF can be interpreted as a proxy for expected business conditions, whereas the cross-sectional dispersion

The aim of this Project is to investigate the evolution of the violin concerto, using the example of the Mozart violin concerto nº 5 and Tchaikovsky violin concerto op 35. After the comparison of these two important concertos, the aim is to know more about each of them and to observe the evolution experimented. The methods that I used are the scores of the concertos which make possible to do a mus
