In this master thesis, a broad theoretical description is done of a novel quantum state tomography protocol called KRAKEN. This protocol is meant for the determination of the density matrix of an electronic state created by absorption of XUV radiation in the vicinity of a Fano resonance. At first, a description of the KRAKEN protocol is provided. Then, the theory of Fano resonances is discussed. A

I takt med att teknologin blir en större och större del av vårt vardagsliv ökar även vikten av att säkerställa att dessa system har en hög säkerhet. Säkerheten blir en större del av vår vardag och har alltid varit viktigt för människan. Abraham Maslow placerade säkerhet på andra steget i hans hierarki av behov för en människa, precis under fysiska nödvändigheter som luft att andas, mat att äta ochAs technology advances and is more and more intertwined with our everyday lives, the security of these systems becomes very important. Abraham Maslow famously put safety needs as the second level of his hierarchy of needs, its importance second only to physical needs such as air, food and sleep. To make sure technological systems are as safe as possible there exists threat modeling frameworks and

Vad händer på fastighetsmarknaden när e-handeln växer kraftigt på kort tid? Vilka potentiella hinder uppstår och vad blir viktiga parametrar att förhålla sig till som beslutsfattare? Det finns en ökad efterfrågan på lager- och logistikfastigheter starkt kopplat till e-handel och pandemin som har bidragit till en ökning av varor som säljs på nätet. E-handeln har sett en enorm tillväxt, framförallt The Covid-19 pandemic has led to a rapid change in trading patterns in large parts of the world. E-commerce has seen enormous growth, especially in the last two years, which has placed new demands on well-functioning logistics chains. This in turn has contributed to increased demands on warehouse and logistics properties and a shortage of land in attractive locations. The supply deficit on land ha

There is only one large ocean that makes up our blue marble, even though we’ve given it many different names. It’s difficult to see where one ends and another begins and change in one place has an effect elsewhere. The ocean connects us all and we are depended on its grace to provide us with life. The beach opens our way to the world and closes us off. It is a conflict zone in times of climate cha

Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu var en av de första författarna att tilldela den kvinnliga vampyren en betydande litterär roll i sitt framstående verk Carmilla (1872). Drygt 130 år senare ger Stephenie Meyer nytt liv åt den litterära vampyren i sin roman Twilight (2005) – med en helt annan tolkning av den mytomspunna figuren. Med hjälp av ett feministiskt perspektiv ämnar uppsatsen fördjupa sig i vampyrge

Människor följer ofta en liknande process när de söker sig till professionell vård. Upplevelser av vilka skäl de har för att söka rent faktiskt och vägen fram till att de tar beslutet att söka behövs det dock ytterligare forskning om. Därför är det viktigt att undersöka detta för att utröna människors upplevelse av vilka skäl och funderingar de har fram mot att beslutet att söka vård fattas. DettaPeople generally follow a similar process when seeking professional care. Experience of what reasons they have for actually seeking help and their considerations during the process before they make the decision to seek help is, however, insufficiently researched. Hence, it is important to study this in order to find out people's experience of what reasons and considerations they have during th

This paper thematically analyzes the new design of the dislike button on the social media platform Youtube. It also explores the phenomenon of how participation culture and commercialized businesses can collide by examining the perspective of both the users of Youtube, as well as the perspective of Youtube as an entity. To do so, videos, video comments and official statements are evaluated. The th

This thesis explores the socially constructed phenomenon that has arisen as a result of the proliferation of social network sites that has penetrated our daily lives. The qualitative study analysed how university students experienced the global outage of Facebook, Instagram and, WhatsApp on October 4th, 2021, because of the Meta-owned ecosystem of social media. Moreover, the study examined how 2 g

This paper examines the relationship between oil prices and its pass-through to inflation and inflation differentials in the European Monetary Union from the first quarter of 1999 to the last quarter of 2021. By using local projections to derive impulse response functions of an oil price shock, the pass-through to the inflation level is examined focusing on the role of energy-related transmission

The ideals of civic participation are within much of current planning theory regarded as ways of ensuring the democratic and equitable values of planning processes, as well as offering local knowledge to those in power and awarding citizens the influence of being a part of shaping the spaces around them. However, they have also been the subject of much scrutiny; critical assessments of such activi

Several evacuation models exist in the market. It is an issue for both the user and developer to evaluate the ease of use and the quality of the model results. Verification is the process of determining that the results of a calculation method match with the developer's conceptual modelling representation expectations, i.e., the modelling implementation is accurate. Different testing procedure

In doing so this thesis answered the following questions: How could the Multi-Level Perspective be used to understand the role of financial business services in sustainability transitions in agriculture? What questions may

The partnership-based approach in international development cooperation is believed to bring a more balanced relationship between the actors than traditional development approaches. However, previous studies have revealed limitations in achieving a mutual relationship between the partners. This study examines the relationship and the power dynamic between the partners participating in a partnershi

Ceasing the pollution of greenhouse gasses will be the biggest challenge of the twentieth century. There is no one solution. Renewable energy sources include solar energy, hydropower, and many more. Just as we have to utilize all these different resources, designers will to the same extent need to explore and adopt new design strategies, upcycling being one of them. Despite all the benefits

In this report, tensor decomposition methods of EEG signals have been evaluated for the purpose of transfer learning. The aim has been to address the person-to-person Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) calibration problem by transferring training data between sessions, which can shorten calibration times, extend the amount of training data, and enable using data from simulated environments in real wor

I samband med att vi människor bor allt tätare och träffas allt oftare, ökar tyvärr även spridningen av virus. Det som tidigare i historien var en epidemi, blir nu snabbt en pandemi (t.ex. coronapandemin med start 2020). Mot denna bakgrund står det klart att vårt immunförsvar spelar en avgörande roll för vår hälsa och i sin tur samhällets funktion. Vår bästa metod är som bekant att träna upp vårt Interactions between T-cells and other body cells is an essential part of the immune system. It involves the binding between surface receptors of the two cells. Specifically, T-cell receptors (TCRs) bind onto pMHC (peptide-loaded major histocompatibility complex) molecules on the partnering cell surface. This way, a cell signal from the TCR to the nucleus can be initiated. Depending on the "m
