Nanowire tunnel field-effect transistors (TFETs) were investigated by carrying out noise measurements and low-temperature DC measurements. The TFET tunnelling junction was realised by a GaSb/InAs heterojunction resulting in a broken band gap. TFET noise currents were measured at frequencies between 10 Hz and 1 kHz. The results imply that noise in TFETs at the current state of development is domina
Underrättelsetjänster genererar generellt ett stort intresse för allmänheten. En bidragande orsak kan vara för att det är svårt att få en insyn i en sådan verksamhet. Insynen till verksamheten behöver förbättras, eftersom medborgare i en demokrati behöver förstå vad en underrättelsetjänst sysslar med, samt att underrättelsetjänsten ska kunna verka med högt förtroende. Denna intervjustudie undersök
Given the extent and urgency of many sustainability challenges it is crucial that individuals change their behaviour to steer society towards a more sustainable future. Yet, a variety of barriers exist that hinder sufficient individual pro-environmental behaviour. As it is not only important to understand these barriers but also how to facilitate more pro-environmental behaviour, my research aim i
We are currently using the planet’s limited resources in a very unsustainable way: around one-third of all food produced for human consumption is wasted each year, which has immense environmental, social and economic consequences. Even though ranked as one of the most sustainable countries in the world, Denmark still wastes annually food worth €1.1billion. To reduce the amount of food waste and al
It have been posited that one of the greatest challenges for intelligence analysts is to correctly understand the enemy. Is this possible, which are the traps and can the process be improved? In this essay we will try to answer these questions by applying theories from cognitive psychology, namely those of heuristics and cognitive biases. We will review the theories, see where they fit with histor
Det sker ett ständigt pågående arbete på olika nivåer i samhället för att förbättra ungdomars psykiska hälsa. Det finns stor kunskap om en mängd faktorer som kan påverka livstillfredsställelse, men man vet inte vilka som är avgörande, för att ungdomar ska må bra och uppleva hög livstillfredsställelse. Denna studie syftar till att undersöka livstillfredsställelse nivå hur olika faktorer samverkar mContinuous work to improve the psychiatric health of the youth is ongoing in society. There is a great amount of knowledge available regarding a multitude of factors relating to satisfaction of life amongst youth, but it is still uncertain which ones are decisive. This study aims to investigate how different factors correlate with life satisfaction, and whether or not there existed any gender diff
During the past decades, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have been developed as a tool for managing spatial data. Under the right conditions, GIS can be a useful tool in the field of crisis management where private and public actors need to manage extensive flows of information. This master thesis aims to study how GIS is used in different parts of the risk and vulnerability analysis process.
Exit taxes represent an expression of state’s sovereignty by taxing value increases of assets, hidden reserves and any untaxed income that arose on its territory. These taxes are triggered before the state of emigration loses its power of taxation as a result of the transfer to the jurisdiction of another state when an individual or company changes residency. The purpose of exit taxes is to protec
This study examines how separatism can be used as a tool to enable young girls as a group to feel more at home in public places designed for physical activity. The purpose is to try the hypothesis that the tradition of male domination in public spaces, and stereotypical ideas about gender, systematically excludes women and girls from these places, and that girl separatist activities can give the g
Hultsfred is a small municipality in Småland, Sweden, that has faced the challenges of a shrinking population, factory closures and a stagnant economy. The Hultsfred Festival was a music festival arranged annually between 1986 – 2012 in Hultsfred by the nonprofit association Rockparty. The festival grew and became the biggest in Sweden and it got a lot of coverage from the Swedish media. In the ba
Ever since the United Nations’ Convention on the Rights of the Child was ratified by Sweden in 1990 there has been an ongoing discussion on how to implement children’s rights in Swedish public institutions. This thesis intends to uncover if and how the child perspective is taken into consideration regarding spatial planning. There are two purposes, one is to investigate what the concept of child p
Attractiveness has become a widely used concept in planning and public policy the last 15 years in Sweden. However, there is no broad definition of attractiveness and thus it is subject to interpretation. To understand how and why it can be interpreted differently this thesis will investigate how two different municipalities with comparable physical factors but otherwise different socio-economical
As the Union Customs Code will replace the Community Customs Code with effect from 1 May 2016, the thesis focuses on the new treatment of royalty payments for customs purposes and its legal consequences. In a first step, a comparison between the Community Customs Code and the Union Customs Code reveals that importers will have to face a significant increase in the customs liability of royalty pa
Examensarbetets titel: Kreditbetyg – åsikter för döva öron? – En studie om nedgraderade kreditbetygs inverkan på nordiska bolags aktiekurser Syfte: Studiens syfte är att undersöka om ett bolags nedgraderade kreditbetyg genererar negativ abnorm avkastning för dess aktie. Studien undersöker även huruvida faktorer såsom kapitalstruktur, outlook och finanskrisen har effekt på eventuell negativ abnorm Title: Credit Ratings – Opinions that fall on deaf ears? A study about the impact of credit rating downgrades on Nordic companies’ share price. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine whether credit rating downgrades generate negative abnormal return on stock prices. It also examines if independent variables such as capital structure, outlook and the financial crisis have an impact on the
The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore psychotherapists´ experiences of termination in psychotherapy. The study has applied a qualitative method combining phenomenological and hermeneutic perspectives. Eight psychodynamically oriented psychotherapists were asked, using one broad and open question, to tell about one or several memories from terminations of therapies. The dominating ex
The aim of this study is to investigate how documents regulating municipal work related to housing provision are shaped, and how they utilize concepts of “need” and “demand”. Interviews with municipal planners are conducted to deepen the understanding of the municipal role in Swedish housing provision today. This understanding is crucial in discussions between public and private actors, which are
In this paper a planned Cycle Super Highway between two Swedish cities, Malmö and Lund, are studied with the focus onto what extent public participation should be implemented in the planning process. The question at issue was examined by performing quantitative interviews with cyclists traveling the current route, a common bicycle path, and also by interviewing three planners representing public a
The Swedish government has recently been proposing for a digitization of the spatial plans. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how this digitization would affect the public participation during the process of creating a spatial plan. This will be done by testing the theory of Ladder of participation, created by Sherry Arnstein in 1969, and a theory of participation stairs created by Swedi
This bachelor project provides an analysis of the regional, organizational arena of Denmark and takes point of departure in the structural reform of 2007, which changed the Danish political landscape radically. The result of the reform was that the old municipalities and regions were enlarged and the power relation was changed. The new physical form made the municipalities far more influential, an
Accurate temperature measurements using thermocouples inside a catalysis reaction chamber is problematic due to the difficulties to attach the thermocouple to the catalysis sample. It is also of interest to accurately know the pressure inside the reaction chamber. In this work, thermographic phosphors have been utilized in order to determine the temperatures occurring inside a catalysis reaction c
