In this project, the conguration interaction (CI) method is used to study the nuclear spectra and the interactions between the nucleons in certain nuclei. The NuShellX@MSU code based on the CI method is used to calculate and compare the energy levels of the nuclei 42Ca, 42Ti, 42Sc, 48Cr on the basis of the J-scheme. The calculations test the interactions denoted f742pn in the f7pn model space as w
The Water Tightness group at Volvo Cars is responsible for creating and maintaining requirements and thresholds regarding water flows on a car. This is performed by doing extensive physical testing while making sure that databases and previous requirements are kept up to date. Previously the big focus for the Water Tightness department has been physical testing as there were no other options. Dur
Energiförbrukningen i elektronikprodukter minskar samtidigt som prestandan för solceller hela tiden ökar. Nya solcellstyper med lägre priser skapar nya möjligheter för använding även i små elektronikprodukter. Att samla energi från omgivningen, t.ex. från ljuset i ett rum, och använda det för att driva små elektronikprodukter kallas i ett vidare begrepp för ”energy harvesting” (SV: energiskördningThe power consumption of electronic devices is decreasing at the same time as the performance of solar cells is increasing. Solar cells based on new technologies with lower costs are becoming commercially available, creating new opportunities for use in small electronic products. The concept of capturing ambient energy, such as light, and using it to power small electronic devices is known as ener
Architecture is undoubtedly an international profession, with practices undertaking projects far away from their home territories. In such a world, it is important that architects are able to design in a way that is responsive to the project’s setting and situation, refraining from unrooted architecture transposed from place to place. Through the examination of seminal texts in architectural theo
There is an increased interest not only in sustainability but also in becoming socially responsible due to greater awareness as well as pressure from stakeholders. Contradictive results are found on whether Socially Responsible Investments (SRIs) in the area of funds are outperforming conventional funds. Further, in the area of Mergers and Acquisitions (M&As), there is plenty of research ident
Title: Can new companies be in a position to save the world? A qualitative study in how small, newly started companies, with an expressed focus on sustainability, work operatively in their supply chain. Seminar date: 31st of May 2018 Course: FEKH99, Degree Project Undergraduate level, Business Administration, Undergraduate level, 15 University Credits Points (UPC) or ECTS Authors: Alexandra Karas
There is general agreement that the body expresses emotion, and while there is research on the expression of emotion in so-called “body language” (e.g. facial expression, posture), only little research exists on the expression of emotion in hand gestures. Two previous studies (Casasanto & Jasmin, 2010; Kipp & Martin, 2009) found opposing patterns of correlation between the gesturing hand a
The prevalence of violent conflicts over the last few decades has left numerous countries in the need of thorough rebuilding; from Afghanistan to Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Guatemala, Somalia or Rwanda. In order to assist in the recovery of these post-conflict societies, various peacebuilding strategies and transitional justice mechanisms have been implemented by a range of different actors. However, mo
This bachelor thesis was conducted on a company that for various reasons has chosen to be anonymous. The company works internationally and specializes in industrial machinery within the food industry. Today, maintenance on the machines are performed based on scheduled periods of time, based on the expected remaining useful life. Because of this, failure may occur before these planned services are
Den här uppsatsen undersöker hur väl anpassade lättlästa texter är för personer med svenska som andraspråk. Behovet av lättlästa texter ökar ständigt och tack vare globalisering är det nu viktigare än någonsin. Med utgångspunkt i teorier om lättläst svenska samt andraspråksinlärning har jag analyserat ett kapitel ur den lättlästa versionen av Selma Lagerlöfs Körkarlen. Uppsatsen ämnar fylla ett ku
This paper investigates the experience of inspiration by cultural workers in the art field. It takes a closer look at the research within the field so far and compares the everyday view of inspiration with theories researched about it as a concept. Identifying that there is a gap between how the term is used in everyday language and how science within psychology and other academic fields choose to
This thesis is a case study on the family reunification procedure for refugees in Denmark, in the context of an increasingly restrictive environment. It sought to find out how structural facets of Danish immigration law interact with and influence the practices of navigating a family reunification process, for people with a refugee background. Two phases of semi-structured interviews were conducte
The UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) is a part of the digital transformation in the construction industry. With increased options of low-cost UAVs, more companies will want to integrate UAVs into their business. By capturing a large amount of data in a short time, it could be very useful for several applications within the construction industry. The question is: can the low-cost UAV be an option cons
Background: Autonomous driving is expected to create a radical change from driving actively to being driven passively. Hence, because of an altered human-machine interface in the vehicle, this technology is considered to provide a huge change to the society and its driving behavior. At this early development stage of fully autonomous vehicles (FAVs), one field of interest is innovation resistance
This thesis sets out to further expand on the knowledge on governance of NGOs in disaster recovery and reconstruction by looking at the coordination between and governance of national and international NGOs after the 2015 earthquakes in Nepal. The study is based on interviews and field-observations from Kathmandu and Rasuwa district and applies governance networks and governability theory to expla
Denna uppsats behandlar förekomsten av rumslig autokorrelation i residualer till paneldatamodeller med tvåvägsfel. Tre modelltyper undersöks: den linjära paneldatamodellen, en dynamisk paneldatamodell och en spatial paneldatamodell. Ett känt resultat för den linjära modellen, att minsta kvadrat-skattaren tillämpad på oberoende observationer resulterar i en rumslig korrelation i residualserien varsThis thesis examines the spatial autocorrelation in residuals of two-way error panel data models. Three types of models are examined: the standard linear panel data model, the dynamic panel data model, and the spatial lag panel data model. A known theoretical result for the linear model, that the within estimator applied to independent observations results in a spatial correlation in the residuals
The aim of this study was to look into the relationship between language and identity in the swedish novel "Tan". The protagonist is a man who suffers from severe speech, reading and writing disabilities and is based on the true story of the neurologist Broca´s most well known patient.
Data editing is one of the most important processes in order to achieve high quality statistics and is at the same time the most costly processing in statistical production. Therefore, many attempts have been made, over time and worldwide, to find effective ways to improve methods and at the same time limit costs of editing. This thesis dives into the concept of data editing and selective editin
