Quantum teleportation is a way to transfer a quantum state between two locations, by utilizing a shared entangled state, measurements and the ability to communicate measurement outcomes between the two locations. This thesis consists of a theoretical investigation of an experiment that would implement quantum teleportation using single-electron states in mesoscopic architectures. First, we studied
This literature study aims at identifying potential methods of extracting heavy metals from dredged sediments stemming from a harbor in Oskarshamn municipality, Sweden. Metals can be detrimental to the environment, as well as to human health, but they can also constitute a valuable commodity. Heavy metal extraction studies exist, however they have not explored the environmental impact on a large s
Avtalsfrihet och avtalsbundenhet samt den därtill hörande principen om pacta sunt servanda utgör grunden för den svenska avtalsrätten. Avtalsfriheten innebär att var och en har rätt att besluta med vem de ska sluta avtal samt vad avtalet ska reglera. Avtalsbundenheten binder parterna rättsligt att utföra de förpliktelser avtalet ålägger dem. Upphandlingsrätten utgör ett undantag från den svenska aThe Swedish contract law is built on the foundation of freedom of contract, contractuality and the associated principle of pacta sunt servanda. Freedom of contract entails the right for individuals to choose with whom they should contract with and on which terms.

In this thesis, the production and perception of Swedish word accents by Somali L1 speakers is investigated.

Somali is a language that also makes us of word accents. Therefore, the two languages are placed in the same level of t
Sammanfattning Vi har gjort en kvalitativ studie och intervjuat individer med en tidigare missbruksproblematik och kriminellbakgrund. Alla utom en av intervjupersonerna har deltagit i ett 12-stegsprogram. Det finns hjälp att få som missbrukare genom behandling, men det är ändå inte alla som klarar av att sluta fast den hjälpen finns. Det är viktigt och intressant att undersöka varför det är så. VWe have made a qualitative study that started from interviewees with substance abuse problems. All of the interviewees have a background as criminals and addicts and three of them have participated in twelve-step program. There is treatment that is intended to support and help addicts, but it's still not all that manage to get out of their addiction. That makes it important and interesting to
The thesis about progressive collapse in precast concrete structures started because of the construction industry which has a new standard to internationalize the industry. The new standard is called Eurocode and requires houses that have more than five floors to have vertical bindings Problems have been discovered when a supporting wall gets knocked out for an unknown reason, such as a gas explos
Why the performance of local value-adding firms supplying to mining MNCs in Zambia’s liberalized economy seems more constrained was the investigated problem. I conducted a multiple case study research involving 15 firms located on Copperbelt Province. Local value-adding firms are cardinal to national industrial development through their backward linkage role to mines. However, their performance is
Today there are various load bearing systems to choose from, concrete, steel, timber, or a combination of these. What determines the choice is usually the economy, which depends on the solutions in the different load bearing systems that will be made. Many of these choices are made based on previous projects and previous experience but do not always lead to the optimal solution. It is important to
This thesis investigates how the relationship between the said and the meant in Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass exposes the paradoxical condition of language. First, the theoretical framework accounts for the theory of language put forth by Jacques Derrida. Here it is concluded that discrepancies between the said and the meant are properties of language. This is due to the parado
This investigation aims at estimating the effect of a regulation over operating hours of hagwon on private tutoring expenditures in Korea. The average treatment effect is measured with a difference-in-differences (DD) estimator using data from the survey of private education expenditure, conducted by the Statistics Korea (KOSTAT). By exploiting the fact that all education offices have placed a res
Tillgången till rent dricksvatten varierar mellan olika delar i världen. Till exempel är grundvat- ten en stor resurs i Sverige där det står för 50 % av dricksvattnet, både artificiellt och naturligt bildat. Den siffran är endast 6 % i Moçambique och med tanke på att 47 % av populationen i landet saknar rent dricksvatten kan artifici- ell grundvattenbildning vara ett bra alternativ. Det finns olikThe amount of clean drinking water varies across different parts of the world. For example is groundwa- ter a big resource in Sweden and stands for 50% of the drinking water, both artificially and naturally recharged. The corresponding fraction is only about 6% in Mozambique and considering that 47% of the population in Mozam- bique lacks clean drinking water artificial recharge might be a good op
In the contemporary or so-called “post-2012” period of climate governance, the question of what a new future climate agreement might entail has arisen in conjunction with the initiation of negotiations on the Durban Platform on Enhanced Action in the climate regime. In parallel to this, larger states, industrial countries as well as developing countries are now dominating the UNFCCC process, seeki
Den upphandlande myndigheten ges en stor frihet vid upphandling och kan ställa krav på bl.a. leverantören och upphandlingsföremålet. Ett villkor vid kravställande är att kravet utformats på ett sätt som möjliggör en kontroll av kravet. Riktigheten av en leverantörs lämnande uppgifter ska kunna kontrolleras av den upphandlande myndigheten. Att ett krav ska vara möjligt att kontrollera följer av EU-The contracting authority is given a great freedom when negotiating a contract and may demand certain requirements, in relation to the supplier and the procurement object. A condition is that the requirement is formed in a way that allows verification of the requirement. The accuracy of the supplier's information must be possible to establish by the contracting authority. The fact that a requi
