The dynamics of molecules and electrons takes place on timescales of femtoseconds and attoseconds, respectively. This requires ultrashort and intense extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulses to be able to study them. Two sources that can generate intense XUV pulses are free-electron lasers (FELs) based on self amplified spontaneous emission (SASE) and high-order harmonic generation (HHG)driven by intense
This thesis focuses on two primary parts: the design of a 10-bit medium high-speed, high-linearity current-steering digital-to-analog converter (DAC), and the implementation of a linear analog interpolation technique aimed at suppressing images at the DAC output. Design considerations for the current-steering DAC are discussed comprehensively, and the circuit is designed in 22nm Fully-Depleted Si
This thesis explores how Swedish civil society organisations (CSOs) navigate transnational partnerships under civic space restrictions in India. Against the backdrop of the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act (FCRA) and shrinking Swedish aid, the study analyses how CSOs adapt to legal, political, and relational constraints. Drawing on four semi-structured interviews and guided by the concepts of
The inclusion of car-sharing services into new residential areas has lately been introduced in several places around Sweden. This case study reviews car-sharing in new residential areas in the city of Malmö; in the central area of Fullriggaren and the more peripheral area of Kalkbrottet. The study seeks to explain the importance of local conditions and local policies for the establishment of car-s
This thesis is using the example of Abercrombie & Fitch’s handling of presentational change caused by a crisis in annual reports. The company was accused to discriminate employees and customers on grounds of distinction of human beings, their appearance and ethnic backgrounds. Fairclough’s approach of critical discourse analysis is used as a theoretical and methodological framework to uncover
The study analyses postfeminism in an organisational context from a critical feminist perspective by exploring the contemporary perceptions of gender and gender equality in a female student career network. Furthermore, the study aims to investigate how these perceptions are projected and how they relate to organisational values, principles and processes of the organisation. Hence, How does postfem
In today’s digital climate, consumers are constantly exposed to marketing and communication from companies and organisations. The increase in marketing has subsequently led to the birth of new, and in some cases, misleading advertising strategies, such as Greenwashing and Healthwashing. Other marketing strategies such as Femvertising utilise societal movements in order to be effective. These marke
This experimental study investigates how individual variation in cognitive functioning, specifically working memory, previous experience with language learning but also language background, influence language aptitude, in particular grammatical inferencing - the capacity to spot patterns in grammar - as measured by the LLAMA_F test. Firstly, the study explores individual factors hypothesised to in
Reaching consensus about sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) has never been easy on the international arena. The United Nations Population Fund and several women rights movements across the world are the leading actors in promoting SRHR. At the same time as progress for world with a universal implementation is being made, oppositional forces against SRHR are on the rise. The focus of
Today, an increasing number of people work from home; people value a relaxed and individual work style where flexibility and mobility are of greatimportance. A home office generates several new requirements of a workplace as conflicts often occur between aesthetical and functional qualities. Psychological factors such as discipline or relaxation are also difficult tohandle when the boundaries betw
Title: Abnormal return in the event of an equity issuance – A comparison of rights issues and directed share issues Seminar date: 2021-01-14 Course: FEKH89 – Business Administration, Degree Project Corporate Finance, Undergraduate Level, 15 ECTS Authors: Fredrik Eriksson Oppliger, Erik Olshov, Gustav Persson, Alex Skepastianos Supervisor: Håkan Jankensgård Key words: Event study; Efficient-m
Living in long distance relationships (LDRs) has become a common phenomenon worldwide. LDR couples continously move in and out of each other's co-presence, and research has shown that the transitions between togetherness and separateness give rise to factors experienced as both constraining and enabling. The present study extends LDR-research done by Sahlstein (2004) by taking attachment organ
Kandidatarbetets syfte har varit att ta fram ett hjälpmedel för studenter på sedimentologikursen vid Geologiska institutionen på Lunds universitet. Hjälpmedlet är tänkt att kunna användas utan lärares hjälp då ett ökat studentantal och försämrad ekonomi på institutionen begränsar lärarnas möjlighet att kunna ge alla studenter den hjälp de behöver för att nå kursmålen. Enkätundersökningar och kursvThe purpose of this Bachelor thesis has been to create an aid for the students at the Department of Geology at Lund’s University. The resource is supposed to be usable without assistance from a teacher. This since the number of students has increased markedly over the last few years while the economic means of the department have decreased. This has reduced the teachers abilities to give all the s
Tractography is a visualization technique which reconstructs and models neural fibers in the white matter of the brain based on data from diffusion magnetic resonance imaging. It is already used locally to model parts of dominant fiber pathways but global methods are also emerging which aim to reconstruct all the brain fibers simultaneously. In this thesis we have attempted to improve the current
In this master's thesis a fully automated method is presented for seg- menting bones and cartilage in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the knee. The knee joint is the most complex joint in the human body and supports the weight of the whole body. This complexity and acute task of the knee joint leads to a disabling disease called Osteoarthritis among the adult population. The disease leads
The purpose of this study is to understand the reason for pick up orders within construction maintenance sectors. Also why alternatives to pick up orders such as deliveries aren´t being utilized as frequently and what can be used to increase the usage of these alternatives is being reviewed. Via interviews with local managers, artisans and other staff within the case company, the opinions on diffe
After the formation of the European Union internal market in 1992, member state specific obstacles and barriers were largely removed. This was especially the case in harmonised industries where standardisation and technical regulation have led to legal certainty. Despite this, a large range of trade regulation continues to remain distortional to trade, in addition to the ongoing tariffs and subsid
