In this work, we demonstrate a vertical processing method to fabricate nanowire (NW)-based devices. This method combines the strong light absorption ability caused by the NW geometry and exposure to dose-dependent clearance properties of a photo-sensitive polymer. By embedding NW arrays in a polymer, the NW light absorption leads to self-limited exposure and selective removal of the polymer. This

Assimulo är ett Python-baserat ramverk för lösning av differ- entialekvationer med målet att låta användaren välja från en mängd olika lösningsmetoder oberoende av problem. Målet med denna avhandling är att utöka Assimulo med Werner Rhein- boldts metod för att lösa differential-algebraiska ekvationssys- tem. Detta har skett i form av utveckling av ett kommunikation- slager mellan Rheinboldt’s metoAssimulo is a Python-based workbench for solving differential equations with the goal of making a multitude of solver meth- ods available through a higher-level interface. By generalizing the problem description, a user is able to apply any solver of their choice without having to redefine the original problem. Fol- lowing these guidelines, a set of wrappers have been developed to extend Assimulo

Trade and economic growth have boomed over the latest centuries, and trade has for long been seen as an engine of economic growth. Research over the years has been consistent of the fact that there is a relationship between the two but it has not been established how this relationship works. This study contributes to earlier research by examining whether it is beneficial for domestic economic grow

Förekomsten av våld eller hot mot vittnen som påverkas och avskräcks från att vittna fritt och sanningsenligt är ett uppmärksammat problem. En lösning för att komma tillrätta med problemet, som varit föremål för många utredningar och rättsfall är anonyma vittnesmål. Frågan uppstår huruvida vittnesanonymitet är förenligt med kontradiktionsprincipen, som är en grundläggande rättssäkerhetsprincip vilThe prevalence of violence or threats against witnesses who are affected and refrained from witnessing freely and truthfully is an attentive problem. A solution to addressing the problem, which has been the subject of many investigations and legal cases, is anonymous testimony. The question arises whether witness anonymity complies with the principle of the defence, which is governed by the Code

Årligen mördas tusentals individer i hederns namn. I Sverige sker det uppskattningsvis fem hedersmord varje år och det råder även ett stor mörkertal kring hedersmord då många fall i brist på bevis rubriceras som självmord. För att bekämpa hedersvåld och förtryck erfordras samhällsinsatser i olika former. Ett verktyg till samhällsförändring och för att bekämpa hederskulturens negativa aspekter kanThousands of people lose their lives in the name of the honor every year. In Sweden, there are estimated five honor killings each year. There is also a big hidden statistics when it comes to honoring killing, many cases are classified as suicide in the absence of evidence. Social efforts are required in various forms in order to combat honor-related violence and oppression. There is a solution t

Volunteers have become a clear part of the Swedish wild fire fighting strategies, but during previous large wild fires the results coming from these extra resources have varied. The report is investigating how the voluntary help has been used in order to get a good result and what strategies to avoid. The result shows that a well-structured hierarchically controlled organization within the volunte

Den som har ett rättsligt anspråk gentemot någon annan kan väcka talan i domstol för att låta anspråket komma under rättslig prövning. Rätten till domstolsprövning garanteras genom artikel 6(1) EKMR. Det förekommer emellertid att en kärande eller en potentiell svarande ingår avtal med någon utomstående med innebörden att den senare ska föra kärandens eller den potentielle svarandens talan vid domsA person who has a legal claim against another party can bring his claim before a court. The fundamental right of access to court is expressed in Article 6(1) of the ECHR. However, it is common that a plaintiff or a potential defendant enters into agreement with a third party implying that the latter shall bring the claim before court instead of the plaintiff/defendant.

In these days, more and more parents are driving their children to and from school. Road safety has deteriorated in the school’s drop off zones due to the big overload of parents driving their children. The overload of cars causes a lack of space, which means that parking and drop off do not happen legally but in places that are inappropriate which increases problem increases the risk of accident

In this essay, the feminine ideals in Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse, Doris Lessing’s “To Room Nineteen” and Alice Munro’s “Too Much Happiness” are analysed and compared to the ideal of the Angel in the House – an ideal that originates from Coventry Patmore’s poem The Angel in the House and was popularised by Virginia Woolf’s paper “Professions for Women”. In addition, the consequences of this

Others see in the battle between Light and Darkness a reflection of the never-endin

Kommuners tillsyn av rökfria skolgårdar Rökning kostar det svenska samhället uppskattat 30 miljarder kronor per år i kostnaden för sjukvård, produktionsförluster och sjukskrivning. Rökning bland ungdomar har minskat de senaste åren, men det är fortfarande nästan en fjärdedel av alla elever i årskurs 2 på gymnasiet, ser sig själv som rökare. För att stoppa ungdomar från att röka genomför kommunen The purpose of this study was to investigate the supervision of non-smoking school yards in Sweden. Smoking costs Swedish society an estimated 30 billion SEK annually in cost for healthcare, production losses and sick leave. Smoking among adolescents has declined in recent years, but it is still 24 % in high school's grade 2, which categorized as smokers. The supervision of the schoolyard is t

Vid idrottsutövning utsätts idrottsmännen ständigt för knuffar och tacklingar som hade varit att bedöma som misshandel eller ofredande om de inträffat på någon annan plats. Då dessa handlingar i mångt och mycket krävs för att uppfylla syftet med idrotten, och dessutom i viss mån även är tillåtna enligt spelreglerna, kan inte samtliga av dessa handlingar föranleda straffrättsligt ansvar. Men hur låDuring participation in sport games the athletes are constantly exposed to violence that would be considered as assault or abuse if it happend on any other location. These acts of violence are often required to fulfill the purpose of the sport, and are sometimes even allowed according to the rules of the game, and can not cause culpability. But how much violence is enough to legally punish the ath

Indoor Air Pollution (IAP) resulting from indoor burning of solid biomass fuels in poorly ventilated kitchens is a severe health risk in parts of the world where energy poverty is prevalent. Passive ventilation, i.e. taking advantage of naturally induced airflow has been suggested as crucial in reducing IAP levels below safe limits. Residents in high altitude settlements are however exposed to extImagine a house situated on 2 600 meters above sea level in the Himalayan mountain range. It is in the middle of January and – 2 degrees Celsius inside. The only source of additional heat you have access to is lighting an open fire or firing in the cooking stove, both of which you fuel with some kind of solid biomass such as wood or agricultural waste. The fire is intensifying, you begin to feel t

Sustainability reporting is increasingly becoming a common tool for companies and organisations to present their social, economic and environmental performance.

Human Capital is deemed as an imperative factor for economic growth, however, it is argued the extent of this interrelation. Acemoglu, Gallego and Robinson (2014) claim that the institutional framework of a nation, in specificthose of private property are deemed as pivotal for a nation’s development. In this sense, in order to contectualise this argument, the current thesis focuses on the case of
