The strong focus on decreasing carbon dioxide emissions due to limited natural resources of fossil fuel as well as alarming climate changes drives the research and development of our prime mover, the combustion engine, faster then ever. The minimum requirement is a power source with increased efficiency while emitting ultra low levels of hazardous local and regional emissions. The concept of Homog

Linnea Hofgren (1868-1921) is an unknown name to most people. She was too marked by her physical sickness to work, but serving her days as a songwriter and pray-er, she found a spiritual home in the mystic network Flodbergskretsen, that gathered in Stockholm around the beginning of the 1900s. This essay aims to bring attention to the story of a bed-bound Christian with a deep human longing, and in

Denna uppsats har till syfte att undersöka vilken rätt adoptiv- och donatorbarn har till information om sitt ursprung, hur denna rätt tar sig uttryck, och vilka principer som finns bakom regleringen. Rättigheten finns reglerad i folkrättslig (bl.a. FN: s konvention om barnets rättigheter) såväl som nationell lagstiftning. Den innebär en rätt till information om tillkomstsättet och en rätt till infThe aim of this thesis has been to examine what rights Swedish adoptees and donor offsprings have to information about his or her origins, how this right is manifested and the principles that may have influenced the current legislation. A person’s right to information about his or her origins is a right enacted in both international (e.g. the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child) and Swedish n

This thesis makes use of Georgian artist Thea Djordjadze’s exhibition our full to explore the close connection between artistic failure and “otherness”. Combining queer theory with theories of the gesture, I examine how frameworks of artistic quality are maintained through repetitive forms, postures and themes that serve to value certain ways of seeing above others. By a careful study of the way o

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate and analyze power relations between Muslim female and male employees, active in working together with gender issues in two Indonesian non governmental organizations in Java. The study analyzes power relations and gendered work among female and male employees in the daily work and aims to give a picture on both female and male experiences from working to

Congratulations! You have a new match - a qualitative study about the meaning of clothes on Tinder is a bachelor thesis about how people can communicate via clothes on the dating application Tinder. This thesis analyses how clothes communicate and give a glimpse of the identity of the person in the images. Through Erving Goffman and his theory on roles in everyday situations the thesis analyses th

Purpose The purpose of this research paper is to investigate the phenomenon of destructive entrepreneurship from a contextual perspective, by conducting a narrative study in a cosmopolitan city of Sweden. A narrative story is constructed based on the life story of a drug dealer. This narrative is used as input in interviews with respondents representing different political and social organisations

Abstract: The Demand-Control Model and the Effort-Reward-Imbalance Model are two models of occupational health that connects psychosocial work factors to health. Related research has often focused on small and homogenous samples and has rarely taken into account the eventual intermediating effect of different welfare regimes. Furthermore results regarding gender have been ambiguous. Through logist

The potential tension between being a pan-European umbrella organisation and engaging in queer politics was the starting point of this thesis that investigates the implications that the concept and practice of queer has within IGLYO (International Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender Queer Youth and Student Organisation). My interpretations are informed by aspects of Queer theory and social movement t

Quantum dots are interesting candidates for a broad variety of electronic components, with single electron transistors and LEDs being two examples already well on their way. In nanostructures, such as quantum dots, quantum effects greatly influence the transport. In a spin polarized quantum dot system with two energy levels, interference effects have been found to cause a strong suppression of con

Det är intressant att studera om de spinn-sammanflätade elektronerna i ett Cooperpar kan delas upp, eftersom detta förutspås kunna användas när man bygger kvantdatorer. En kvantdator kan lösa vissa problem som vanliga, klassiska datorer inte kan och kan dessutom lösa en del problem snabbare. En ökad kunskap om kvantfenomen på ett fundamentalt plan är en förutsättning för vidare kvantteknologisk utCooper pair splitting (CPS) is a process in which the two spin-entangled electrons of a Cooper pair in a superconductor are split into two spatially separated electrons. If the separated electrons are still entangled, CPS can be studied to increase the knowledge of non-locality in quantum systems. This thesis is a first step towards the realization of CPS in InAs nanowires with crystal-phase defin

This thesis explores the ways in which Middle Eastern LGBTQ+ individuals living in Sweden navigate their sense of belonging. The interview-based approach focuses on the narratives and lived experiences of self-identified Middle Eastern queers and their feelings of attachment in relation to ethnic and queer communities in Sweden as well as Swedish society. The findings show that the sense of belong

Most prior research into the field of Binarized Neural Networks (BNNs) has been motivated by a desire to optimize Deep Learning computations on traditional hardware. These methods rely on bit-wise operations to drastically decrease computation time, however to address the resulting loss in accuracy it is common practice to reintroduce continuous parameters and train using batch normalization. Here

Mot bakgrund av gängkriminalitetens stora mediala och politiska utrymme syftar denna uppsats till att undersöka ifall den politiska debatten om gängkriminalitet avhumaniserar ’gängkriminella’. Politiker besitter makt över människors uppfattningar om problem och människorna de berör, därför utgör politikers språkanvändning kring en utsatt grupp ett viktigt analysföremål. En allt repressivare debattAgainst the background of gang criminality’s large media and political space, this essay aims to investigate whether the political debate about gang criminality dehumanizes ‘gang criminals’. Politicians have power over people’s perceptions of problems and the people they affect, therefore politicians’ discourse about a vulnerable group is an important object of analysis. An increasingly repressive

The aim of this study is to investigate how staff who work with persons with mental impairment living in supportive housing describe and reflect on the clients´ self-determination and which options and challenges they experience with respect to putting the intent of the Swedish act concerning support and service for people with certain functional impairments (LSS) regarding self-determination into

The concept of defense capability is commonly used in Swedish social debate and within strategically oriented communication from the government and armed forces. However, this concept does not origin from any formally established definition or concept clarification. Instead, its meaning varies, or is implicit, which is unfortunate when this capability needs to be addressed and communicated intelli
