Biometric recognition systems are widely used to recognize an individual. Fingerprints is a biometric identifier and are today widely used in smartphones for biometric recognition. The fingerprint software used in smartphones are great and fast, and usually implemented for one person usage. A fingerprint software used for smartphones often conducts a one-to-one comparison between the sample and th
Kombinationen folkökning och klimatförändringar har lett till en ny fas inom byggbranschen. Pressen är hög på att bygga bostäder och så även kraven på energieffektiva och miljövänliga byggnader. Driften av bostäder är nu utvecklad till en sådan nivå att själva produktionen och byggnationen av bostaden genererar störst klimatbelastning under dess livstid. Nya byggmetoder med lägre klimatpåverkan är
Purpose: The purpose is to explore the institutional forces in a transitional regulated economy. Furthermore, the study seeks to gather information about firms’ perception of these forces and the way by which these firms seek to handle them and use them to build competitive advantages. Methodology: The study is of qualitative character with an instrumental case study design and a mix of deductiv
Dry Etching is widely used in nanoprocessing as a method of pattern transfer onto a hard substrate, like silicon. Improving the resolution of this etch process is an important step in reducing the feature size in, for instance, computer microchips, or Nanoimprint Lithography stamps. TheReactiveIonEtcheratLundUniversityhasrecentlybeenupgradedwithaturbo molecular pump. This allows for lower pressure
Internal crisis communication has remarkably been neglected both in research and in practice, even if there are studies that claim that internal stakeholders have a pivotal role during a crisis. This study aims to understand how multinationals use internal crisis communication and in what way they engage with their employees before, during, and after a crisis. Using the contingency theory of accom
In this thesis a method for doing approximate calculations of the ground state of quantum mechanical many-body systems is developed and implemented. This method uses the Hartree-Fock method as a starting point and approximates the ground state as a linear combination of non-orthogonal Slater determinants. The Slater determinants are added consecutively by minimising their associated energy while k
All-inorganic CsPbI3 perovskite quantum dots (QDs) have attracted intense attention for the application in photovoltaics and optoelectronic applications due to their phase stability and great photoluminescence (PL) properties. However, the their photostability is still to be investigated in detail. In this thesis work, we studied the photostability of the CsPbI3 QDs suspended in hexane and found l
I och med att konkurrensen om kunderna ökar behöver utformningen av platser syfta till att attrahera människor. Som en konsekvens av den ökade konkurrensen är det viktigt med samlokalisering av handelsaktörer för att locka människor till platsen. Att vissa platser är mer välbesökta än andra beror bland annat på handelsagglomerationers samt enskilda ankarbutikers olika dragningskraft. En av de anka
Purpose: The purpose consists of gaining an understanding of how young consumers engage on Instagram. This was done by applying the perspectives of social influence and influencer marketing. Methodology: This study utilized a qualitative method from a social constructionist standpoint. The study has adopted an abductive approach. Ten semi-structured interviews with female participants have been
In recent years there has been a major change in environmental policy areas, especially when the EU has invested substantial resources in the environmental as well the energy sector. This paper analyzes one of the actors, Fredrick Federley and The Swedish Center Party, who worked on the issue between 2014-2018. To see how the rhetoric has elapsed as well as examine the environmental and energy p
This study explored the localization of the fictional species names in the Pokémon multimedia franchise. The relations and changes between the semantic units included in 807 Pokémon names were analysed using a framework of existing translational categories of proper names within onomastics (Vermes 2001, Ainiala, Saarelma and Sjöblom 2012), semantic analysis (Nida 1975) and general translation theo
I den här kulturanalytiska studien undersöker jag de kulturella normer och värderingar som ligger till grund för hur Stockholms stad bedriver stadsplanering. Mitt fokus är på de personer som gör stadsplaneringen, de så kallade stadsplanerarna. Ambitionen är att genom intervjuer med dem få kunskap om de kulturella föreställningar om trygghet och ordning i stadsplaneringen som ligger till grund för
Almost half of the energy consumption in the EU originates from heating and cooling of buildings. The European Commission states that smart control of building systems may reduce the energy consumption. Cloud based smart control or even advanced fault-detection systems are becoming more common and should work for any building in the world. These systems need to receive data from the physical build
Protoplanetary discs surround young stars for the first few million years after their formation and they are the birthplaces of planetary systems. The thermal structure of the discs is regulated by their dust content and the opacity that it provides. The aim of this project is to investigate the effect grain growth has on the structure of the protoplanetary discs. Hydrodynamical simulations have b
The aim of this project was to investigate how Bacillus can survive in the finished beer. This was evaluated by producing batches of beer with starter cultures that were deemed to be interesting in terms of their Bacillus content. This beer, together with beer from microbreweries and store-bought beer were plated onto Bacillus Chromoselect agar, a selective agar for Bacillus. Samples were then tak
Aim: This research aims to discover how strategic thinking is understood by legal professionals and law students. Purpose: The purpose of this research is to advance the understanding of strategic thinking. A clear understanding of strategic thinking in the legal field has yet to be fully explored. It is relevant for students, professionals, and educational institutions to discover how strateg
Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur en hållbarhetsmärkning av kläder i en e-handelskontext påverkar ett företags varumärkeskapital. Metod: Studien utgick från en kvantitativ ansats där tre av Aakers (1991) fem dimensioner av kundbaserat varumärkeskapital operationaliserades. I en enkät fördelades respondenterna in i tre grupper som mötte olika stimuli och fick ta ställning till sPurpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how a sustainability label on clothing in an e-commerce context affects a company's brand equity. Methodology: The study was based on a quantitative approach where three of Aaker’s (1991) five dimensions of customer-based brand equity were operationalized. Respondents of our online survey were divided into three groups, exposed to differen
