Identifying and keeping track of different structural representations of functionally overlapping issues is important in order to keep a well maintained issue management corpus, establishing efficient and organized response ability to develop and code software patches repairing these issues and defects. This is normally achieved by manual, time-costly reviewing-processes by special teams put up to

Grafikprestandan spelar en allt större roll i dagens smartphones då den ofta bestämmer hur responsiv upplevelsen är av krävande applikationer. Detta arbete har utforskat kodgenereringstekniker för en modern grafikprocessor i syfte att förbättra prestandan.Processors grow more and more complex, even more so in the field of GPUs, where the instruction set, in general, is not publicly available. This enables them to change more rapidly than CPUs, since backwards compatibility is not an issue. In this thesis multiple approaches are investigated for code generation for a clause-based GPU. An optional pre-scheduler is implemented, together with two appro

Libraries of things, non-for-profit physical spaces where people borrow objects they would otherwise buy, have spread over Europe, the U.S., and Canada and have now emerged in Mexico City, where challenges to sustainability such as increased consumption levels and insufficient waste management abound. Collaborative economy initiatives like libraries of things are exposed as more sustainable altern

Society is facing diverse vital societal challenges, which has led to an increased focus on how policy makers should target these challenges. Innovation policies have gone through a development from firm based R&D towards a more systematic and transformative approach towards innovation. This research has investigated how policy instrument in the form of innovation programs have been experience

The core focus of the thesis is the phenomenon of viewing child sexual abuse materials on the Internet as a grave violation of human rights. The thesis is aimed to argument the criminal nature of the act of viewing child sexual abuse materials on the Internet, provide a brief analysis of its causes and effects, examine a legislative gap in protection of children's rights, and eventually seek t

År 1925 patenterade den österrike-ungerska fysikern, Julius Edgar Lilenfeld, den första fälteffektstransistorn. Han beskrev i detalj komponentens design, funktioner och användningsområden. Eftersom den dåvarande teknologin var otillräcklig, blev någon tillverkning dock aldrig av. MOSFET:en uppfannas först år 1959, utav Dawon Kahnng och Martin Atalla från Bells Labs. Den typiskt kiselbaserade kompoIn this thesis were vertical NWFETs (nanowire field-effect transistors) fabricated, and their electrical properties characterised. The main goal was to minimize the parasitic capacitances that limited the high frequency performance. The nanowires consisted of InAs/InGaAs heterojunctions, and were grown on top of Si via a buffer layer. The gate contained a finger pattern that was defined via EBL (e

In 2007, Mexico City legalized abortion in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. By doing so, it became the first and only state in Mexico where abortion on demand is legal. In this paper, I use this natural experiment to estimate the effects of abortion legalization on child and maternal health. I perform Difference-In-Differences estimates using information from all births and deaths occurred between

Staters interventionism har legat bakom många grova människorättskränkningar. Eftersom FN-systemets vetorätt skyddar vissa stater från straffrättsligt ansvar finns det få reella utsikter för en minskning av dessa människorättsbrott. Inom det institutionella systemet är den Internationella Brottmålsdomstolen ICC och det möjliga aktiverandet av dess jurisdiktion över aggressionsbrottet – som nu befi

Through technological advancements and the evolution of e-Recruitment tools, Human Resource Management (HRM) has evolved from a traditionally analog talent acquisition process towards a digitized replicant. In this thesis we investigate and aim to make sense of current managerial challenges within the recruitment processes when using currently available e-Recruitment tools.

The issue of food waste is a growing global problem having social, environmental and economic consequences. Over the recent years, this issue has received attention at International, national, regional and local levels. One such example is the case of Malmö which, in their Sustainable food policy has identified food waste as one of the key areas to reduce Greenhouse gas emission down to 40% of 200

Sustainability science has to solve some of the most complex problems of our times. So far, the field of sustainability science is more known for its promises than its solutions. It is successful at creating knowledge but is lacking in terms of developing actionable knowledge. The transdisciplinary process incorporates practitioners and the people for whom the solution is intended in the research

In this paper, we develop a new but also under-researched measure for firms’ hedging practice: maturity. Comparison between the outputs of two sets of Tobit model using hedge ratio and maturity respectively shows that the costs of financial distress hypothesis and the financing costs hypothesis are partially supported by both hedge ratio and maturity. Besides, the economies of scale hypothesis rec

Sustainability philosophers claim that we are at the impasse of stories, finding ourselves in a blank chapter between the old and the new. The old story, characterized by separation, technological arrogance and human superiority over nature, is unfolding in an ecological crisis giving space for a new narrative defined by inter being, cooperation and balance. It has been put forward that this crisi

Syftet med detta examensarbete var att ta fram en enkel och lättförståelig hygienutbildning för nyanställda på Arla i Götene, Västergötland. På detta mejeri tillverkar Arla smör och ost och är även distribution plats för Arlas övriga produkter. När livsmedelverket genomförde en revision av livsmedelsindustrin framkom det avsevärda brister i dokumentation av uppställda rutiner. Även om hygienutbildThis aim of the thesis work was develop a simple and easily understandable hygiene education for new employees at Arla in Götene, Västergötland. At this dairy, Arla produces butter and cheese and is also the place for distribution of Arla's other products. When the national food agency conducted a review of the food industry, the significant shortcomings in the documentation of established pro

Abstract: This study develops, presents and evidences a belief model of institutional change. Drawing on a range of theoretical approaches from institutional economics, the model states that institutions change when an environmental factor alters the beliefs of the population or the elites. Further, a society will only be internally stable when the beliefs of these two groups align, and will only
