Introduction of in situ HCl etching to an epitaxial growth process has been shown to suppress radial growth and improve the morphology and optical properties of nanowires. In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of photo-generated charge carriers in a series of indium phosphide nanowires grown with varied HCl fluxes. Time resolved photo-induced luminescence, transient absorption and time resolv

Production of glycidyl ethers is industrially carried Out by reacting alcohols with epichlorhydrin, a potentially carcinogenic compound. This paper investigates a less hazardous alternative-that of a chemo-enzymatic process in which Candida antarctica lipase B catalysed generation of peracid from a carboxylic acid is followed by a Prileshajev epoxidation of the corresponding allyl ether. Trimethyl

In this work a rotating disc method was developed for studying the dissolution process of "bimodal" polymer tablets, whose dissolution rates have been tuned by mixing low-molecular weight and high-molecular weight samples of poly(ethylene oxide) in various proportions. The tablets were prepared along different routes, by mixing the polymer fractions as powders or by mixing on a molecular level so

För varje detaljplan som en svensk kommun behandlar skall en påverkansbedömning göras där planens miljöpåverkan undersöks. Om påverkan utifrån bedömningen antas vara betydande skall detta utredas vidare. Kommunerna får dock själva avgöra hur bedömningen genomförs, och kontrollen av bedömningen är svag. Studien undersöker vad detta lett till genom att granska vilka metoder som används idag, och vilThe environmental impact of each new detailed development plan must in some way be assessed in Sweden. If the impact is deemed be significant, this must be further investigated. However, the municipalities can determine themselves how the assessment is done, and the monitoring of the assessment is weak. The study examines the consequences of this by screening what methods are used for the assessme

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Hjälper Nhandugue-flodens vatten Urema-sjön i Gorongosa Nationalpark, Moçambique, från att torka ut? I de centrala delarna av Moçambique ligger Gorongosa Nationalpark som skyddar ett omfattande ekosystem av flodplan, gräsmarker och skogsbeklädda områden. Efter drygt 20 år av inbördeskrig hade 1994 antalet stora däggdjur, så som lejon, zebror och bufflar, minskatGorongosa National Park in central Mozambique is situated at the southernmost extension of the East African Rift System (EARS), the Urema Rift. The park is protecting a vast ecosystem of floodplains, grasslands and woody coverage. From 20 years of civil war the large-mammal population in the park had in year 1994 been reduced by 90 % or more, and in 2004 a restoration project was started in order

In a first step, this thesis seeks to provide an understanding of the industry’s situation in 2007 and 2012 and what factors influence the industry with what consequences? In a second step, the aim is to analyse the resources and capabilities necessary for survival in such a fast-paced industry and how that value is created and captured. Based upon the analysis, four observations have been made.

Author: Hanna Fridhed Title: Fort McMurray; the gentrification of the Lower Town Site Supervisor: Roberto Scaramuzzino Assessor: Torbjörn Hjort This study was conducted with the aim to examine the past and current development and future redevelopment of the Lower Town Site of Fort McMurray, AB, Canada, and to analyze the possible consequences for the current residents. Using the theory of gentrif

This report is a master thesis at Lund University. The aim of the study was to investigate how the formation of a pre-recorded fire evacuation message impacts on the initial evacuation process. Four different messages were tested in 15 unannounced evacuation experiments in cinemas and lecture halls. The occupants in the evacuation experiments filled out a questionnaire about the evacuation and the

With climate change gathering pace and increasingly foreboding predictions of the effects it will bring, the question of how to achieve a fast-paced transition towards a sustainable society is gaining increased awareness and importance. One debate centers on agency, and whether primarily public authorities can govern such a transition successfully. Theory on transitions suggests that they are ofte

Abstract Author: Chanette Edman Title: Blinded love - a description of how the violence in a relationship is normalized by the victim and what leads to the breakup of the relationship Supervisor: Anna Rypi Assessor: Summary: This is a qualitative text analysis about how women who live in violent relationships describe their experiences in autobiographies. The aim of the study was to find out

The Resource Curse is a theory which suggests that countries with an abundance of natural resources are prone to experience slower growth than resource scarce countries. Research has suggested that good governance can prevent this negative correlation from emerging. This case study examines which aspects of good governance that have been important in avoiding the Resource Curse in the case of Bots

Uppsatsen behandlar proportionalitet och straffteori utifrån ett amerikanskt respektive ett svenskt perspektiv. Uppsatsen utgår från en indelning som typiskt görs för att indela straffrättssystemet och avhandlar amerikansk respektive svensk straffteori utifrån ett lagstiftnings- och ett domstolsperspektiv. Det bör understrykas att uppsatsen inte är någon komparation mellan rättsystemen, utan snaraThis essay concerns the issue of proportionality in penal theory as it is applied in USA and in Sweden. The essay compares two main aspects, or levels of this proportionality; the judicial level and the court level, of each jurisdiction respectively; applying the comparative method. The essay thus addresses the federal system of American jurisprudence, and the interpreting and guiding role of th

I Sverige kom det första undantaget från turordningsreglerna 1994 med syftet att upprätthålla balansen mellan arbetstagarnas trygghet och verksamheternas behov av flexibilitet. Sedan 2001 är undantaget i turordningsreglerna begränsat till två personer och gäller för företag med högst tio anställda. År 2020 är tvåundantaget återigen uppe för diskussion om ändring i och med betänkandet SOU 2020:30, In Sweden the first exception concerning turn rules was accepted in 1994 with the purpose to maintain the balance between employment protection and the companies need for flexibility. Since 2001 the exception concerning turn rules is limited to two employees for organisations with at most ten employees. In the year of 2020 the exception within the turn rules is up for discussion once again hence t

Manual co-speech gestures can facilitate language comprehension, but do they influence language comprehension in simultaneous interpreters, and if so, is this influence modulated by simultaneous interpreting (SI) and/or by interpreting experience? In a picture-matching task, 24 professional interpreters and 24 professional translators were exposed to utterances accompanied by semantically matching

Current scholarship on race in Europe has described race as an “absent presence”. However, little is known about the dynamics of the absentness and presentness of race, including how various social processes operating at distinct levels (e.g., supranational and national) influence the uses of race and ethnicity concepts. We begin addressing this gap by examining racialised pharmaceutical regulatio

In this article I explore the different and changing meanings of the concept “privat” in records from the Swedish Riksdag (state assembly) from the sixteenth to the beginning of the eighteenth century. I analyze how the concept was used in different contexts, such as questions concerning e.g. private and public religious practices, relations between individuals and communities, and relations betweIn this article I explore the different and changing meanings of the concept “privat” in records from the Swedish Riksdag (state assembly) from the sixteenth to the beginning of the eighteenth century.

As a first approach to the comparison between the Andean and the Nordic countries, it is their specialisation on natural resource exportation. But even though both regions exported similar commodities at the beginning of the nineteenth century, how similar were they really? In this article, we analyse thecopper exportation of Chile and Norway in order to see small differences that can have made a
