In this work, two LNAs operating at a frequency around 83 GHz and 110 GHz, for satellite- and 5G applications respectively, have been designed, using vertical InGaAs nanowire transistors. In addition, a switch operating at a frequency around 110 GHz has been designed. The topology has consisted of a common source as a first stage, and a cascode as a second stage. The design and simulations of the

The overall aim of this thesis was to examine the Swedish approach to managing the Covid- 19 pandemic, by putting it in context to recent Swedish socio-economic and demographic development. The research question reads “to what extent does the public discussion on the Covid-19 pandemic build on elements associated with advanced liberalism?”, which has been examined by the aid of a qualitative conte

Stora företag står inför stora framtida utmaningar. Startups och nya disruptiva företag uppkommer överallt. De växer explosionsartat och konkurrerar snabbt ut de stora etablerade företagen som helt enkelt är för långsamma för att hinna med i dagens snabba tempo. För att undvika att bli utkonkurrerade och istället dra nytta av dessa nya småbolag har många stora företag börjat anamma ett öppet innovThe corporate accelerator phenomenon is increasing in popularity and is a common vehicle of external innovation for large organizations. But many initiatives fail, and what characterizes the programs that have had longevity, has not been addressed in existing research. This includes their adherence to operating models of corporate accelerators; accelerating strategic fit between startups and the c

Denna rapport utforskar ett nytt open-source-baserat verktyg inom turbindesign tillsammans med ett komplett flödesberäkningsprogram. Detta arbete utfördes hos Volvo Trucks med applicering mot deras turbocompound-turbin. för att undersöka möjligheterna att implementera en elektrifierad turbocompound-turbin. Resultatet är en god arbetsmetodik inom turbindesign tillsammans med två möjliga framtida elTurbomachinery design is based on multiple physical thermodynamical relations and fluid mechanics. Software implementing these relations in computing fluid flows have been broadly accessible since the 1990’s and has also become more applied to turbomachinery design. However, the software is unfortunately a large expense on research and development departments. Cambridge Professor Emeritus John D.

Stjärnor sägs vara astronomins tidskapsel, genom att studera stjärnor kan vi bättre förstå många fenomen. Stjärnor är en viktig del av vårt universum från det att de skapas till det att de dör. De berikar vårt universum med olika grundämnen som krävs för att planeter ska bildas och för att liv ska uppstå. Det verkar då självklart varför man vill undersöka och förstå alla aspekter kring stjärnbildnThis is a thesis project, analysing data from high-resolution imaging observations, specifically speckle imaging, as a follow up study of exoplanet host stars observed with K2, the second operational phase of the space telescope Kepler. The project was accomplished at NASA Ames research center under the guidance of Rachel A. Matson, during an internship in collaboration with the Swedish National S

Einar Billing was a particularly important theologian for the theology and history of the Swedish folk church. This thesis deals with Einar Billing's concept of vocation or calling, originally formulated in 1909. The thesis aims to examine whether Billing's concept may function today 2020; in the relationship between humanity, church and society. Billing's views on the calling from the

Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att bidra med ökad förståelse för hur företag som inte tidigare övervägt ett virtuellt arbetssätt, kan dra nytta av en omställning till virtuellt ledarskap och arbete. Metod: Studien är av tolkande karaktär och är baserad på semistrukturerade intervjuer med chefer som arbetar i kunskapsintensiva företag. Vidare är studien utforskande och med målet att öppna upp

Background: Knowledge sharing within an organization is one of the main focuses of the knowledge management research field. In today’s globally dispersed business units, and multinational corporations (MNCs), information and communication technology (ICT) tools play an essential role in facilitating knowledge sharing. Previous research has argued the vital role informal contexts as well as physica

Alfa Laval has been using its unique adhesive mixture for over 50 years for bonding of rubber gaskets to the corrugated plates used in their heat exchangers. The adhesive mix is designated GC6 and is composed out of an epoxy component and a phenolic component. GC6 has throughout the years shown exceptionally good performance in both adhesion to the rubber gasket and to the plate with minimal pre-t

ABSTRACT The purpose of this essay is to compare the Church of Sweden’s current view on marriage with partly the marriage view of Martin Luther and partly the view held within the church in Sweden after the Reformation. The objects for my analysis is Luther’s Prelude on the Babylonian Captivity of the Church (first published 1520, my edition 1928 in Swedish), Swedish Church Ordinance of 1571 and C

Purpose – TePe Munhygienprodukter AB (TePe) is moving the production facility designated their toothbrushes as part of their expansion phase. Not only do they face challenges due to a two-floor production, but also do they face efficiency and safety challenges in their materials flow. The purpose of this paper is, therefore, to construct recommendations on improving TePe’s materials supply process

In this project the locations of the proton and neutron drip-lines are predicted using neural networks and theoretical data obtained by applying the HFBTHO program. For each of the neural networks a comparison is made between neural network predictions and experimental data in the region experimental data exists. By comparing the effectiveness of the networks at reproducing experimental results wi

Den bästa teorin vi har om den subatomära världen kallas för ”Standardmodellen”. Standardmodellen beskriver de allra minsta partiklarna och deras interaktioner med varandra genom den elektromagnetiska svaga och starka kraften. Genom åren har Standardmodellen förutspått en rad av olika partiklar som har verifierats experimentellt. År 2012 upptäcktes den allra sista partikeln förutspådd av standardmIn this thesis, we extend the Higgs sector of the Standard Model by two scalar singlets and impose a discrete Z2 symmetry on each of them, under which, both singlets are odd. One of the two scalar singlets will acquire a vacuum expectation value while the other one does not. This leads to one scalar field mixing with the SM-like Higgs field and one stable scalar singlet. Thus, three scalar bosons

Marknadsföringen av dagens charterresor och framväxten av postkolonial teori står under en diskursiv diskrepans. Därför syftar denna studie till att utifrån postkoloniala perspektiv analysera diskurser i aktuell svensk marknadsföring och klargöra för om turisters kulturella resurser kan ha grunden i koloniala privilegier. Med utgångspunkt i att företagen har egenintresse av att marknadsföringen spThe practise of marketing charter travels can today be seen as standing under a discursive discrepancy with the emergence of postcolonial theory. With a postcolonial viewpoint, this essay therefore aims to study marketing discourses in a Swedish context in order to understand the cultural resources Swedish consumers of charter tourism take part of. The costumer’s expectation of that marketing give

This project focus on the exploration of playfullnes in public furniture. The aim has been to identify and refine playfull aspects of form and function of public furniture through iteration and form exploration. In this project the main purpose has been to develope an inviting, playfull yet practical public seating environment for outdoor use. This paper documents the design process and reflection

This paper empirically evaluates whether different backtests for Expected Shortfall (ES) produce similar results. In 2016, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision proposed a shift from Value-at-Risk (VaR) to ES as the industry standard when calculating capital requirements for banks. However, ES has been found difficult to backtest. Since backtesting results form the basis for determining the c
