Effects of carbon functionalization on the catalytic properties of the space underneath epitaxial graphene flakes on Ir(111) are investigated with Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy studies of oxygen hydrogenation. The 0.1 mbar oxygen atmosphere hosting O-intercalated graphene flakes was replaced with hydrogen pulses lasting 50 s each, triggering the water formation. Underneath pris
In the Right Time, in the Right Tone: A qualitative interview study on how consumers create meaning around reactive marketing. Reactive marketing has become an increasingly common strategy in a digital media landscape characterized by information overload, trend-driven communication, and intense competition for consumers' attention. Previous research has primarily focused on strategic execut
The exceptional breakdown field and ultra-wide bandgap of beta-gallium oxide (β-Ga2O3) position it as a promising material for next-generation high-power electronics. This thesis systematically investigates the growth behaviour, structural quality, and surface morphology of β-Ga2O3 thin films deposited via Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) on both c-plane sapphire (Al2O3) and MOCVD-grown GaN-on-sapphi
Uppsatsen syfte är att undersöka om de svenska restriktionerna under co-vid-19 pandemin var tillåtna enligt religionsfriheten i artikel 9 i den euro-peiska konventionen om de mänskliga rättigheterna och religionsfriheten i regeringsformen. Religionsfriheten är absolut i regeringsformen men de delar som utgör utlopp av andra friheter, exempelvis mötesfriheten, får begränsas på samma sätt som de friThe essay aims to examine whether the restrictions posed during the covid-19-pandemic was legitimate in accordance with the freedom of religion posed in the European Convention on the Human Rights and the freedom of religion as stated in the Instrument of Government. The freedom of religion stated in the Instrument of Government is absolute and cannot be restricted. What is seen as use of other fr
Detta examensarbete utforskar det relativt outforskade fenomenet venture studios (även känt som bolagsbyggare, venture builders och startup studios), vilka är företag som systematiskt bygger bolag. Trots att antalet venture studios ökar så är akademisk forskning kring ämnet relativt begränsad. Denna studie syftar till att fylla denna kunskapslucka genom att genomföra en fallstudie på sex svenska vThis master's thesis explores the relatively unexplored phenomenon of venture studios (also known as venture builders or startup studios), which are companies that systematically and concurrently build startups. Despite their growing popularity, the academic literature on how venture studios operate is still limited and no structured and extensive description of the business model appears to e
The technological field can be seen as a huge advance for mankind before it emerged employers had to hire experts located in the same geographical area as the company. This changed with the introduction of information and communication technologies. Because of this, the labor market was able to become more global, meaning that employers do not need to hire employees who are physically close to the
The analysis of annual extremes of hydrological and meteorological variables is frequently complicated by the presence of gaps in record, and when records are not only fragmented but also short, it is necessary to utilize to the full the information contained in them. One method is to abstract for statistical analysis all extreme events whose peaks exceed a pre-selected threshold value, but the th
Detta arbete undersöker möjligheterna för att medge upphovspersonen droit d'acces och skydd mot förstörelse inom svenska rättsförhållanden. Undersökningen inriktas främst på gällande svensk rätt vilken tolkas utifrån dess förarbeten och genom dessa Bernkonventionen. Vidare utblickar görs till Norges och Förenta Staternas lagstiftning vilken beaktas i förhållanden till en möjlig lösning av den This thesis examines the possibilities of granting the author droit d'acces and protection against destruction within Swedish copyright law. The inquiry is primarily directed toward current Swedish legislation which is construed through preparatory documents and through these the Berne Convention. Foreign legislation from Norway and the United States is examined, which are considered with refe
Migration har länge förekommit och anledningarna till förflyttningen kan variera. En grupp av människor som nyligen fått ökad uppmärksamhet är så kallade ”klimatflyktingar”. Termen grundar sig i att dessa människor flytt undan klimatförändringarnas effekter. Vi människor är en stor bidragande faktor till klimatförändringarna, främsta orsaken är koldioxidutsläpp. Klimatförändringarna väntas få flerDuring many years, migration has been a part of people’s life and the reasons for migration have varied. One group of migrants that has become larger in recent years is the “climate refugees”. This concept has its foundation in the fact that these humans are forced to flee from the effects of climate changes. Humans are a big contributing factor to climate changes, mostly due to the large amount o
This project aims to propose an alternative memory architecture that allows space for a society to process and heal after having experienced collective trauma. The project site and setting is my mother’s home country Chile where the military coup in 1973 and the following dictatorship is still a source of grief and conflict. The point of departure for the project is the concept of architecture
Imaging and inverse scattering of seismic reflection data can be formulated in terms of a certain class of Fourier integral operators. We present an approximation and discretization of such operators following a multiscale approach, based on wave packets as the quanta for representing seismic data. One of the key ingredients in our approach is the coupling of dyadic parabolic decomposition and pro
Laminar burning velocities of acetone + air mixtures at initial gas mixture temperatures of 298, 318, 338 and 358 K are reported. Non-stretched flames were stabilized on a perforated plate burner at 1 atm, and laminar burning velocities were determined using the heat flux method, at conditions where the net heat loss from the flame to the burner is zero. The overall accuracy of the burning velocit
This dissertation examines how young people with Kurdish backgrounds form their identity in Sweden with regards to processes of inclusion and exclusion. It also sheds light on the ways these young people deal with ethnic discrimination and racism. Further, the study outlines the importance of these social processes for the discipline of social work and the ways social workers can work with disadva
In this paper, we consider both algebraic crossed products of commutative complex algebras A with the integers under an automorphism of A, and Banach algebra crossed products of commutative C (*)-algebras A with the integers under an automorphism of A. We investigate, in particular, connections between algebraic properties of these crossed products and topological properties of naturally associate
A sensitive and selective amperometric biosensor, based on NADH-oxidase (NADOx) working in tandem with horseradish peroxidase (HRP), which is electrically connected to graphite electrode via Os-redox polymer (RP), was developed. Two designs were considered for the biosensor optimization: (i) the first one, [G/HRP-NADOx], exploited the direct electron transfer between HRP and the graphite electrode
Laminar burning velocities, S-L, of ethane + air and propane + air flames within an equivalence ratio range between 0.8 and 1.3 were determined at atmospheric and elevated pressures up to 4 atm. Measurements were performed in non-stretched flames, stabilized on a perforated plate burner at adiabatic conditions, created using the heat flux method. Initial unburnt gas temperature was 298 K. These ne
This article describes the systematic design of a control structure for a biological wastewater treatment process as given by the test-bed Benchmark Simulation Model No. 1 (BSM1) and Activated Sludge Model No. 1 (ASM1). The objective of this work was to formalize and implement a systematic and yet simple procedure for the selection of control structures in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and t
This paper proposes a technique for undertaking poverty analyses at city level, by studying the implementation of Costa Rica's social housing policy in the medium-sized city of Liberia. The technique was appraised in relation to its capacity to explore the links between social housing, poverty and inequality, the effects of the implementation of the selected policy and the differences between targ
