Att Spåra Gammastrålar med en Gammakamera Gammastrålar produceras av både radioaktiva material och kosmiska objekt, så som supernovor och neutronstjärnor. Gammastrålar består av fotoner, precis som synligt ljus, men har mycket högre energi. Att kunna spåra gammastrålar är användbart inom allt från medicinteknik, till samhällsskydd, och även inom många olika forskningsområden. Fotoner kan interag
Born into the context of tense geopolitical competition, the Global Gateway Initiative has shown the motivation of the European Union to take on a more ambitious role as a global actor. A trend in the academic literature hints at a shift towards a more pragmatic and geopolitically oriented paradigm in the EU´s foreign policy. In order to investigate how the EU envisions its own role, this pap
How do countries become democratic? By employing process tracing this comparative case study strives to test the sufficiency of Jean Grugel’s alternative theoretical framework for explaining democratic transition and consolidation. The framework explains democratization as the result of interacting mechanisms within three different dimensions of society; the state, the civil society and the global
Denna undersökning är en fallstudie av hur nio elever i årskurs nio och deras lärare har arbetat med musikskapande. Momentet musikskapande förekommer ytterst sparsamt i musikundervisningen i svenska grundskolor, trots att det enligt kursplanen ska bedömas. Denna undersökning genomfördes på en skola där musikskapande utförs i stor omfattning, alltså en skola som sticker ut. Syftet var att undersökaThis is a case study of how nine ninth grade students and their music teacher have been working with composition. The element of composition is very uncommon in Swedish elementary schools, in spite of the fact that it should be a part of the assessment. This study is conducted in a school where they work extensivley with composition. The aim was to study the students and the teachers’ view on the
The proportion of public procurement is nowadays more than substantial; it amounts to all the goods and services that the State, perceived as both: central and local administrations, demands in order to assure the effective and sustainable functioning of the society. Moreover, as the procurement procedures aim at simultaneously achieving best value for money and high standards in non-financial mat
Understanding how asset classes and systematic strategies behave and perform during different macroeconomic environments is essential for an efficient asset allocation process. The aim of this thesis is to find a method to systematize the current understanding of the relationship between asset performance and environments. We will present a way to define different macroeconomic environments, asses
Tillgång till tillräckliga mängder vatten av god kvalitet är en väsentlig resurs för samhället. Det behövs för mänsklig konsumtion, för produktion i industrin, för fisket, etcetera. Det är därför mycket oroande att vattenkvaliteten i Europeiska unionen successivt försämras. Östersjön som är mycket påverkad av övergödning kan nämnas som ett exempel. Övergödning orsakas av utsläpp av näringsämnen iThe supply of good quality water is an essential resource for society. It is needed for human consumption, for production processes in the industry, for fishing, etcetera. The fact that the quality of waters within the European Union is continuously deteriorating is therefore of major concern. One example is the Baltic Sea, which is heavily affected by eutrophication. Eutrophication is caused b
Den här studien undersöker hur egenskrivna och/eller lånade idéer kan användas som metod för att utveckla improvisationsförmågan hos elever på estetiska programmet med trumset som huvudinstrument. Studiens deltagare har efter givna ramar fått i uppgift att planera och sedan framföra egna trumsolo-sekvenser, i syfte att fylla på den egna musikaliska verktygslådan med solistiska verktyg. Den här stuThis study examines how original and/or borrowed ideas can be used as a method for high school students with drum profile to develop and improve their ability to improvise. The students of this study have been instructed to prepare and to play drum solo sequences based on certain limitations, in order to fill their musical toolbox with new solistic tools. This study is based on qualitative intervi
This report details the process and result of developing a mathematical inventory control model to be use by AQ Electric Suzhou. The mathematical model was written in Microsoft Excels inherent programming language Visual Basic and utilizes printouts such as sales history, bill of materials, component data etc. from AQ Electric Suzhous ERP system Monitor to derive a demand history for each componen
This master thesis is about the mathematical modeling of an inventory control system. The system is a single-echelon two-location system with one type of item. The locations replenish from a supplier that is assumed to have an ample stock. The demand is modeled as customers arriving according to a Poisson process with a known intensity and each customer only demands one item. In addition to replen
The purpose of this thesis is to construct a passive bistatic radar system using two USRP N200 software defined radios and two ordinary TV-antennas. Several auxiliary components were used in order to align and calibrate the devices including an octoclock CDA-2990, switch and signal generator. Several tests were made to verify that the sampling started simultaneously and that no significant phase s
The prospect of Turkish accession to the EU has sparked controversy in many of the member countries. It has highlighted the different ways in which European as well as Turkish identity is being defined in the debate, with some politicians seemingly trying to draw on old prejudices in order to make the case against membership. By utilising discourse analysis as advocated by Thomas Diez, this thesis
The study evolves around the emergence of a gender awareness in the Kenyan political consciousness, as a consequence of the adoption of the alternative development discourse, promoting values like equal participation and empowerment. My task has been to determine the outcome of local development initiatives in terms of women's empowerment and then relate the findings to theories on discursive
Motivated by the need for transformative change and more holistic conceptions of wellbeing, this thesis aims to explore the transformative potential of the Buen Vivir. As a synthesis of indigenous and modern principles, it was integrated in the Ecuadorian constitution. In order to evaluate the socio-political project of the Buen Vivir in the realm of a Real Utopia, I will investigate the transform
