Scientific views on what children are capable of have been revised through history again and again, usually when new methods of studying children’s capabilities are presented. What has often been concluded is that children are capable of more than what was previously thought. New technology has introduced a genre of educational games which utilize the captivating power of computer games which have
It has been discussed how important the contributions of informal investors in supporting entrepreneurs and developing startups. The market for informal venture capital is almost invisible source of financing for entrepreneurial ventures, which can explain the difficulty of finding these investors. However, what if the entrepreneur were able to find virgin angel, private individuals who want to un
Sammanfattning I detta examensarbete besvarar jag frågan om svenska domännamn har ett immaterialrättsligt skydd. Fråga är intressant av flera aspekter. Rättsområdet är relativt ungt och behovet av domännamn uppstod så sent som i början på 1980-talet. Det nya systemet att adressera datorer på Internet fick namnet Domain Name System (DNS). Utvecklingen och spridningen av Internet har sedan dess variSummary in English In my thesis I answer the question whether any intellectual property rights protect Swedish domain names. This question is interesting due to several aspects. The legal area is relatively young and the demand for domain names occurred as late as in the early 1980s. The new system to address computers on the Internet was named Domain Names System (DNS). The development and distri
An engineering approach to the evaluation of the TCP as a narrowband bearer for short messages in the low latency train-trackside communication scenario is described in this report. The project was developed in cooperation with Bombardier Transportation Sweden AB as a part of the “ETCS over GPRS” venture. With the increase of the demands from the railway industry, the currently used circuit-switc
Brain Machine Interface (BMI) denominates a collection of systems which interface with the Central Nervous System (CNS). Implementation of a BMI involves the detection, extraction, processing, and translation of the signals from the Central Nervous System. A simulator to generate extracellular recordings is proposed by P.T.Thorbergsson, H. Jorntell, F.Bengtsson, M.Garwicz, J. Schouenborg, A.J Joh
Thesis purpose: To identify relevant criteria underlying the partner selection process in a leading company in the consumer technology industry, as well as to subsequently analyse the influences which those criteria have on overall outcome. The intention is to draw valid implications for future research as well as for actors in similar market environments. Methodology: The researchers of this pa
The history of the population control movement is one replete with controversies and where narratives about coercive population control policies and programs abound. Questionable practices such as the wide sterilization campaigns as took place in India during its state of emergency period in the 1970s or the use of contraceptives in the developing world already banned from Western markets contribu
In the last decade a new and alternative source of geospatial data has become available, so called Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI). Private individuals voluntarily collect large amount of geographic data for a joint project. This data are usually free under certain licence restrictions. One of the most well known examples of VGI is the OpenStreetMap (OSM) project. Due to its increasing p
Purpose: To find out in what ways signs of healthier varieties in store, affect and possible change, customer behaviour. Methodology: The study has a positivistic view on the world. The research is conducted by an abductive approach using theory and empirical data alternately. Both quantitative and qualitative methods have been adopted in order to see changes in customer behaviour as well as expla
For decades, Theodore Levitt's notion of the homogenisation of consumer taste, as a consequence of globalisation, has been used in the marketing literature to legitimise standardisation as global strategy. Levitt's notion of homogenisation of taste refers to a worldwide desire for modern, low priced, world-standard and dependable products from the modern, and primarily western, world. Homo
”Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, therefore Islam is… - the view of Islam and Muslims in the student organization Credo Lund” is an inductive, quantitative interview-study. The purpose of the study is to investigate how a person, convinced of Christianity‟s exclusivity when it comes to salvation, relates to and talks about Islam and Muslims. The material consists of interviews with four m
This study explored the alternative visions and innovative strategies of Zambian local non-governmental development organizations (LNGDO) in their attempt to improve their organizational sustainability with the purpose to understand and analyze the organizational sustainability of LNGDOs in peri-urban Lusaka and Kitwe, Zambia. A case study approach was used to both delimit the scope of the study a
This study deals with the issue of how music can affect the religious experience of people who sing in choirs in the Church of Sweden. It is established that music plays a great importance in people’s every-day lives, and that it has various effects on us, for instance how it can soothe a person who is agitated or the way it can induce fright, compassion, anger or happiness. Music occupies a large
The research objective for this thesis are two problematic yet interweaving occurrences observed in earlier research on the Abu Ghraib scandal (2004) and its image material. Firstly in terms of methodology, a restricted amount of images in which three single images, “Hooded Man”, “Man on Leash” and “Piled Bodies” are overrepresented and frequently regarded as descriptive for the scandal as such. S
The aim of this work was to develop a stable and reproducible argon milling process for InAs nanowires to remove the native oxide layer that increases electrical resistance. This was done by identifying a few milling parameters and studying them in relation to the milling rate of silicon dioxide (SiO2). After further experiments with different milling parameters, a set of parameter values was foun
Mantelplymhypotesen har varit föremål för omfattande debatt under lång tid, ända sedan den publicerades 1971. Denna hypotes förklarar vulkanismens ursprung genom antagandet att ett extremt varmt mantelmaterial stiger upp under litosfären genom smala kanaler. Hypotesen har accepterats av geologer och har använts för att förklara vulkanism på platser som Hawaii och Island. Trots detta har hypotesen The mantle plume hypothesis has been a subject of extensive debate since its initial publication in 1971. This hypothesis posits that volcanism originates from narrow channels of exceptionally hot mantle material rising from the deep mantle to the lithosphere. While some geologists have historically supported this idea, it has encountered significant challenges, particularly in explaining the volc
Försäkringsrätten är till sin karaktär väldigt speciell eftersom avtalsförhållan-det rör de två primära avtalsparterna, men också övriga premiebetalare. Både genom utfallet men också genom bedömningen som sedermera blir vägle-dande för övriga försäkringstagare. En variant på försäkring är den allomfat-tande allriskförsäkringen, som till sin karaktär ska vara mer heltäckande än en reguljär egendomsInsurance law is inherently unique because the contractual relationship primar-ily involves two main parties but also impacts other premium payers. This occurs both through the outcome of disputes and through the interpretative precedents established, which subsequently guide other insurance holders. One form of insurance is the comprehensive "all-risk" insurance, designed to be more inc
The aim of this research is to study three particle correlations in pseudo-rapidity for the $\Lambda^0$,$\Xi^0$, and $\Omega^-$ hyperons with a focus on their baryon and strangeness quantum numbers. The two primary questions asked are, into which particles are these quantum numbers typically conserved, and what are their correlations in momentum space. The research investigates these problems by e
Tetra Pak, a global leader in packaging solutions, seeks to optimize inkjet printing as a more flexible alternative to traditional methods. Although inkjet printing offers rapid design customization and reduced waste, its performance is hindered by issues such as unwanted satellite droplets. Capturing the formation of these droplets at microsecond timescales demands specialized experimental method
