Mushrooms have already been proven to be a reliable and versatile material for various design purposes. For my project I am experimenting with expanding the possibilities of mushroom matter as a building material and also contemplating mushroom as a metaphor for local culture in relation to Lithuanian people as a whole. Developing mushroom matter into a building material designed for a specific si
The long coherence times of the 4f hyperfine levels of rare-earth-ions gives the possibility to use these as quantum computation devices. Moreover after being doped into a crystal the strong dipole-dipole interaction can be utilized to entangle them. Much work has been done here in Lund to attain as many of the DiVincenzo criteria as possible. At the moment work is being done in the creation of a
This thesis aims to explain the effect of Turkey’s accession process to the European Union on its asylum policy’s evolution. By applying two branches of new institutional theory––rational choice and social institutionalism––the thesis analyzed the Europeanization phenomenon of the European Union’s accession effect on domestic policy change. In order to do so, process tracing and document analysis
I denna uppsats kommer det skatterättsliga neutralitetsperspektivet hos fastighetstransaktioner att diskuteras och särskilt fokus kommer att ligga på stämpelskatten. De fastighetstransaktioner som tas upp är överlåtelse, bolagsförvärv och fastighetsbildning. Det moderna svenska skattesystemet bygger på nationalekonomiska teorier och de senaste 30 åren har fokus legat på att få ett effektivt skattIn this essay, the tax neutrality perspective of property transactions will be discussed and a special focus will be put on stamp duty. The real estate transactions which are covered in the essay are transfers, acquisitions and “fastighetsbildning”. The modern Swedish tax system is based on economic theories and in the last 30 years the focus has been put on getting an efficient tax system, wher
Inom svensk straffrätt är uppsåt det huvudsakliga skuldkravet för straffrättsligt ansvar. Oaktsamhetsansvar är ett outtalat undantag som fångar upp handlingar vilka, trots att de inte genomförts med flit, anses så klandervärda att de motiverar ett straff. I takt med att samhällsvärderingar utvecklas uppkommer frågan vilka skyddsintressen som värderas tillräckligt högt för att skyddas med alla medeIn Swedish criminal law intent is seen as the main culpability form and negligence is punishable only if it is specifically stated. Regarding some crimes this construction is a problem since the law give room for blameworthy but not criminalized actions. The crime rape is regulated in 6 chapter 1 § in the Swedish Penal Code. To be sentenced for rape with todays legislation, it must have been comm
Archaeobotany and GIS are closely linked with archaeology, it is hard to imagine a modern archaeological investigation without them. The two appear to complement each other. GIS links highly complex sets of data with space, and offers a range of analytical tools. Archaeobotanists look for patterns in data over time and space to interpret human behaviour. Yet GIS is underused in archaeobotany. Ther
This paper addresses the following hypothetical situation: suppose that we want to train an object detection algorithm but that only low resolution data is available. As a tentative solution to this problem, this paper suggest to first super-resolve the low resolution data to obtain higher resolution data that is then fed to the object detection algorithm. Super-resolution is a technique that take
Density based topology optimization has become an efficient way to design optimal complex structures with different goals, constraints and boundary conditions. To regularize the solution, density filters are utilized and is controlled by the length scale. The length scale controls minimum feature sizes, as well as minimum curvatures in the structure. Usually a constant length scale is used through
The quantum cascade laser (QCL) is a semiconductor heterostruc- ture using inter sub-band transitions to generate stimulated emission. The quantum cascade detector (QCD) is a similar to the QCL, but the heterostructure is tailored to absorb radiation and give a read-out current. In this work, three planned or realised QCL:s and two QCD:s have been simulated and analysed using a program based on th
Angels, inspirers and shopping clothes on credit” – power and conditional assistance in Swedish reality-TV The aim of this study is to provide a closer look at the nature of help given in selected Swedish reality shows with charity and lifestyle platforms. Descriptive in nature, the study is a content analysis of the influence and power the reality programs may have on participants, focusing on t
We investigate frugal splitting operators for finite sum monotone inclusion problems. These operators utilize exactly one direct or resolvent evaluation of each operator of the sum, and the splitting operator's output is dictated by linear combinations of these evaluations' inputs and outputs. To facilitate analysis, we introduce a novel representation of frugal splitting operators via a generaliz
Flexible multibody dynamics (FMD) has found many applications in control, analysis and design of mechanical systems. FMD together with the theory of structural optimization can be used for designing multibody systems with bodies which are lighter, but stronger. Topology optimization of static structures is an active research topic in structural mechanics. However, the extension to the dynamic case
High-precision localization and machine learning (ML) are envisioned to be key technologies in future wireless systems. This paper presents an ML pipeline to solve localization tasks. It consists of multiple parallel processing chains, each trained using a different fingerprint to estimate the position of the user equipment. In this way, ensemble learning can be utilized to fuse all chains to impr
Abstract Background: Noise is typically conceived of as being detrimental for cognitive performance; however, a recent computational model based on the concepts of stochastic resonance and dopamine related internal noise postulates that a moderate amount of auditive noise benefit individuals in hypodopaminergic states. On the basis of this model we predicted that inattentive children would be enha
Water harvesting and artificial recharge have been a traditional solution to water scarcity problems in the arid and semi-arid Middle East for thousands of years. These techniques are increasingly being encouraged, and recently there has been renewed interest to find improved methods for water harvesting and artificial recharge in many arid countries. In this study, water balance calculations and
As we’re living in a modern society, most of us have been connected to the water and electricity grid, However, there’re still billions of people who are still lack of reliable water and electricity resource. In some developing countries like India and Philippines, the demand for electricity and water are far more than actual production, which causes frequent electricity and water shortage problem
The purpose of this thesis is to examine how the European Union through its cultural program “Creative Europe” is constructing and promoting a transnational European identity. In the context of humanities and European Studies this can be seen as relevant in the sense it is the study of man as a cultural being, as well as it is stated in Merriam-Webster dictionary “humanities plural : the branches
The reinforced composite industry is expanding. This raises the need for more sustainable resource use and waste management. A concept to combat both is circularity, creating a loop between the raw resources and the waste. Two important parts of circularity are recycling and reusing. This thesis presents literature studies on recycling, reuse and end-of-life methods for glass fibre-reinforced plas
Unemployment is an arousing problem in many parts of the world. That is why exploring this area is so important nowadays. This study takes a closer look at the influence that organisations, that is previous or future employers, can have on the process of unemployment. Time dimension and cultural differences are the aspects that were taken into account. The participants were divided into three grou
