The energy scaling of integrated circuits has reached its limit because the operating voltage of Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors (MOSFET) based switches has reached its minimum value. MOSFETs are limited by thermionic emission and cannot achieve a subthreshold swing (SS) below 60 mV/decade at room temperature. Tunnel Field-Effect Transistors (TFET), which operate on field modula

Raimo Tuomela’s we-mode groups are partly characterized by norms. Some norms may be characteristic of all we-mode groups, like the norm restricting a member's right to leave the group. Some think that this aspect of Tuomela’s theory has implausible ethical implications concerning the rights and autonomy of members in we-mode groups. That worry vanishes, I argue, on a plausible interpretation of Tu

If we do not consider religious rituals as given to us from the gods, but designed by humans at certain times and in certain contexts we might also track the art of designing and performing the human practice of rituals. Even if we agree that all rituals are taught and learned, they are not meant to be perceived as products of human imagination. The concept “ritual invention” could thus be seen as

Background: According to the “brain-reserve hypothesis” in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), patients with more years of education are expected to have higher cognitive status during adulthood. Hence, they might have a relatively larger burden of AD pathology and a more advanced level of the disease when dementia is clinically evident. Higher educated people would also be expected to perform better on sta

This thesis aimed to examine the relationship between climate and atmospheric CO2 concentrations through rapid climate changes during the Holocene. Climate was reconstructed using high-resolution, radiocarbon dated, lake sediment geochemical proxies (magnetic susceptibility, loss-on-ignition, total carbon/nitrogen/sulphur determinations and biogenic silica), vegetational reconstruction (pollen ana

This paper highlights the news media's reflection of the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bi, trans) -people in South Africa. Although South Africa in 1994 implemented a protection in the Constitution against discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation it is constantly reported on violence and harassment against LGBT- persons. Given that previous research highlights the causal factors such as South Afr

Healthcare might seem like it is a purely medical issue. Nothing could be further from the truth. Both politics, law and the economy are all closely tied to healthcare. In this thesis I analyze the sensitive topic of healthcare through a critical understanding of the European and Swedish political economies from the 1970s until today. Europe serves as the broad picture, while Swedish healthcare po

In an increasingly online society, scholars have gradually come to scrutinize the ad tech industry. The research field, however, tends to focus on the most visible tech giants, such as Google or Facebook, and few researchers approach the industry from a human rights perspective. This thesis deals with some relatively unknown, but still massive, ad tech companies and unveils how they operate at the

The purpose of this project is to explore craftsman- ship, trying to find out how the use of it can become an integrated part of my design process. The initial part of the project is dedicated to research on the top- ic of what craftsmanship is. The research is conducted through literature review, study visits and market research. The project has an exploratory phase whereby I make experiment

In this thesis, I critically scrutinize the data-driven policing tool POL-INTEL, which was implemented in the Danish police in 2017. To better understand how we are governed and policed through POL-INTEL I look at the problematisations and forms of subjectifications constituted in the policies to acquire and implement the system in the police and through the technology of POL-INTEL itself. For thi

The aim of this qualitative study was to examine how university students experience stress and how they described that the stress affected their academic performance and health. Furthermore, what kind of coping strategies the students used to manage their stress and due to that how well they worked. This was examined through the experiences of four university students at different colleges in Skån

Syftet med studien är att förstå politiken om åtgärder för unga myndiga lagöverträdare genom att analysera de argument som förs fram av centrala parter. Jag har genomfört en kvalitativ dokumentstudie med teorin om anspråksformulering som vetenskapsteoretisk utgångspunkt. Mitt urval är följande politiska dokument: Riksdagspartiernas kriminalpolitiska program, statens offentliga utredning, riksdagsdThe aim of the study is to understand the policy arguments regarding measures for young offenders of age 18 by analyzing the arguments that are presented by central parties. I have completed a qualitative document study with claims-making as a theory. My selection is the following political documents: Criminal policy program, state public inquiry, policy debate about young offenders and referral r

The importance of sustainable development has been firmly acknowledged worldwide. This is no less apparent than in the context of tourism, which despite its promise as a driver of development in low-income countries has produced a number of negative externalities for local communities, ecologies, and the environment at large. Popular conceptions of sustainable tourism like that from the United Nat

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur avvägningen mellan effektivitet och rättssäkerhet i förarbetena till skattetillägget kommit att påverka hur dagens skattetillägg fungerar i praktiken vid Skatteverkets kontrollverksamhet avseende tjänsteavdrag. Detta redogörs för genom att dagens regelverk och de förarbeten som legat till grund för skattetillägget analyseras i förhållande till effektivThe purpose of this essay is to investigate how the trade-off between efficiency and rule of law during the legislation processes for the tax surcharge has come to affect how today's tax surcharge works in practice regarding the Swedish Tax Agency's monitoring of tax deductions for work-related expenses made by natural persons. This essay will examine this through analyzing today's reg

Carbon emissions have recently been put under the spotlight since it is widely accepted that global warming is caused by the emission of greenhouse gases, of which carbon dioxide is the main component. One of the fastest rising sources of emissions from carbon emissions is the transport sector, with emissions often rising faster than the GDP growth rates of developing countries. The estimated shar

Today we can sometimes discern a tendency in cultural policy in Sweden and abroad, of using culture as a tool to achieve development. In Sweden this tendency is the most obvious at the regional level. In this thesis I study this tendency in the cultural policy in Region Skåne. The aim is firstly to examine in what way the tendency of integrating a development perspective in the cultural policy, i

This is a brief inquiry into the stories of young Westerners who have chosen to travel to Dharamsala India and participate in activities related to self-inquiry and spirituality, as presented through a Buddhist context. The main question to be researched in this thesis is WHY would a diverse group of international young and middle-aged adults choose to spend time, money and comfort traveling to a

My intention was to explore the childhood of children and adolescents within the religious organization of Jehovah´s Witnesses, in Sweden. I used a technique where I interviewed three active witnesses and four former members. The former members either had left the religion freely or had been excluded by the movement. I wanted to know more from those two different perspectives, because they often s
