The time-ordered linear density response function is examined in a model study. Two model dimers are considered; one with one orbital per site and a second one with two orbitals per site. The one-orbital case has U0, the on-site Coulomb interaction, as the only parameter and is solved analytically. The two-orbital case has parameters U0, the upper orbital non-interacting eigenenergy ε1, and the ho

India has yet to build 70% of the buildings that will exist in 2030. The housing industry in India has been growing rapidly in an effort to keep up with increasing urbanization, population growth and aspirational consumption. Its growth is accompanied by a large ecological footprint, given the resource intensive processes involved and the large amount of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) produced. St

Småföretagen upplever svårigheter vid finansiering med banklån. Anledningen till det är att bankerna ställer högre krav på säkerheter och historik till följd av finanskrisen 2008. Samtidigt söker investerarna alternativa placeringar utanför börsen. I denna miljö föds en ny finansieringslösning- gräsrotsfinansiering. Ämnet är nytt och i detta arbete ges en introduktion och en kartläggning av ämnet Small businesses encounter difficulties receiving bank loans due to the 2008 recession. Banks have harder requirements on collaterals and satisfactory records of accomplishment than before the crisis. At the same time, investors are looking for investments beside common stocks. In this environment, a new financing solution is being born – the crowdfunding. The aim of this thesis is to research on

This paper aims to examine the arrangements taken to prevent the development of Antimicrobial resistance in production animals which transfers to humans through the food chain and therefor constitutes a threat against the public health. The examination focuses on the development of Antimicrobial resistance within the EU. It firstly presents what present research says about possible arrangements wh

Mikroplastens intåg i den limnologiska miljön - Allmän dammussla (Anodonta anatina) innehåller mikroplast Utan betydande åtgärder kan det år 2050 finnas mer plast än fisk i världens hav, beräknat på vikt. Mikroplast och dess miljöpåverkan är just nu ett mycket aktuellt forskningsämne, mikroplast medför miljöproblem för framförallt marina organismer. För att undersöka hur närvarande mikroplast är Alarming amount of plastic accumulate in the ocean. Recent research states that if the use of plastic will continue as predicted it will be more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050. It has been established that microplastic has spread to many of the world's marine ecosystems. Some animals including mussels mistake microplastic for food and ingest the microplastic, a big problem which can le

Abstract Achilles tendon rupture and tendinopathy are frequent ailments with increasing incidence. Still today, there is no consensus regarding optimal treatment for neither condition. However, studies indicate that the rehabilitation program following an injury is more important for the functional outcome and recovery of the tendon than the initial treatment (surgical or non-surgical). For patie

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to provide the reader with insights regarding what Syrian highly-educated immigrants (HEI) in Sweden think are the underlying prerequisites and actions needed to facilitate their entrance into the Swedish job market. Key Research Question: What are the key requirements needed to expedite the employment of HEI in the Swedish job market, and take up relevant jo

The current thesis examines the role of intuition in the strategic decision making process of executives. Limited applied research has been conducted on the field of intuitive processes in strategic decision making of top managers, therefore this paper attempts to shed more light on this specific topic. The purpose of this study is to investigate how and to what extent intuition affects executive

Today we depend on data based services, for example in logistics, at warehouses, and accounting services. When a data based service is delayed it can depend on its servers being overloaded, leading to economic losses. To prevent this, it is necessary to have appropriate monitoring tools that can make the system administrators aware of when performance thresholds have been breached and servers are

Mesh networks are highly relevant and interesting today considering all the connected devices that exists. These devices often aim to have low power consumption to be able to be powered by smaller power sources such as solar cells or batteries. The hardware used by mesh networks often has the same purpose, to minimize power consumption. The purpose of this thesis is to provide an increased underst

The essay deals with the development of the train station environment with smart technology. The purpose is to identify the current needs on train stations and to give proposals of technical solutions. The study contains five different parts: a literature study, a survey, an interview, an analysis and a discussion. The study for the research includes three different groups. The first survey study

This thesis examines the idea of calibrating Level 1 jets. These are used in the Trigger-Level Analysis at the ATLAS in the search for a new mediator, in this case between Standard Model and Dark Matter particles. In the thesis, the idea to calibrate the Level 1 jets is investigated. To calibrate the Level 1 jets, they are divided into bins of transverse momentum and pseudorapidity. The responses

Dublinförordningen reglerar mekanismer för att avgöra vilken stat som ska vara ansvarig för att pröva en asylansökan som lämnats in i EU. Förordningen är en del av unionens gemensamma asylrättsliga regelsystem och anses vara väsentlig för detta systems funktion. Europeiska Kommissionen har med bakgrund av flyktingkrisen 2015 lagt fram förslag till att reformera och ytterligare harmonisera EU:s asyThe Dublin regulation establishes mechanisms for determining which state is responsible for the examination of an asylum application submitted within the EU. The regulation is a part of the Union's common asylum system and is considered essential for the functioning of this system. In the context of the refugee crisis of 2015, the European Commission has put forward proposals to reform and fur

Background: Within research, it has been stated that transportation cost is a large part of logistics cost which is a large contributor to supply chain costs. To reduce transportation cost, choosing the appropriate transportation mode is an important decision both on a strategic and tactical level. There are several models and approaches when choosing transportation mode, including several factors

Sous vide går ut på att råvarorna vakuumförpackas i påse för att sedan tillagas i den förslutna påsen vid en temperatur lägre än vad som traditionellt används. Livsmedel som tillagas med sous vide har vanligtvis en bättre smakmässig kvalitet samt en längre hållbarhet än livsmedel som tillagats med traditionella metoder. Många hemmakockar saknar vakuummaskin och tar istället till andra metoder somSous vide is a cooking technique where ingredients are vacuum packed in a bag and then cooked in a waterbath, the temperature of which sous vide is used is often lower than the temperature used for traditionally cooked food. Foods cooked with sous vide usually have a higher quality when it comes to taste, as well as a longer shelf life than food cooked with traditional methods. Since many home co

Corporate social entrepreneurship (CSE) is a fairly new concept in academia and is not very well researched. This study aims to develop more knowledge about the concept. It is emphasizing the concept of CSE, and how Swedish companies are working with CSE. A comprehensive framework based on literature is presented and tested on the empirical data. Another framework was developed from the empirical

In a growing global corporate bond market, insights and understanding of the markets pricing mechanisms becomes increasingly important to investors. While previous research on credit risk has mainly focused on the American bond market, European bonds remain rather unexplored in academia. In this article, we investigate the explanatory power of a family of credit risk models - called structural modThis thesis empirically tests the explanatory power of structural models on the European corporate bond market. Using new evaluation methods, including LASSO and gradient boosting regression, we can provide an in-depth assessment of the models’ shortcomings. With these tools we show that the structural models tend to systematically overstate or understate the spread due to an oversensitivity to le
