Satellites are key components in today's modern world, but they are expensive to launch and the orbits are crowded. With use of a dual band circular polarization selective structure (CPSS) the satellites can be improved and the number of reflectors needed to carry out a certain task can be reduced. A dual band CPSS reflects one handedness of circular polarization and transmits the other, over
Testing and validation of fingerprint sensors with human labor is time consuming, costly and lacks the speed, accuracy and repeatability required for sufficient results. The thesis investigates the possibility of an automated solution using an industrial robot with force feedback control. Several force feedback controllers are implemented and evaluated. The best controller is implemented together
Working distributed is increasingly important today with technology being more and more portable while connectivity is still lacking in some areas. Cellphones and laptops are increasingly in use outside the office with connectivity to internal office services being unreliable, either due to lacking speed or inability to have a connection. Different solutions exist. One is a client-server setup wh
Today's network cameras are constantly evolving, giving us higher resolution and higher quality video streams which demands higher capacity data links. In Pan, Tilt, Zoom (rotating) cameras the Slip Ring acts as the single communication link between the stationary and rotating parts of the camera and at the same time enables unrestricted rotation. It is therefore a key component within the cam
In this essay, I use discourse theory on three versions of the Swedish abortion law: the current law from 2016, the law from 1974 and a bill from an abortion committee added in 1965. I also do a thematic content analysis on a parliamentary bill from 1974 discussing the need for and the purpose of a more permissive law. The history of the Swedish abortion law is diverse. In 1938, the law stated tha
Europeiska fotbollsklubbar har i allt högre grad kommit att anpassa sig efter den globala tevemarknaden och de potentiella nya supportrar den för med sig snarare än sina lokala supportrar. Mot den bakgrunden har ett visst samhällsvetenskapligt intresse börjat hysas för så kallade satelitsupportrar; det vill säga supportrar på distans som huvudsakligen konsumerar sitt lag via teve och andra medier.
In this study, I demonstrate that identity-building is an important discursive strategy for President Barack Obama in the seven-year long debate surrounding the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The data for the study comes from a 6-million word corpus of speeches that were held by Obama between January 2009 and January 2016, all published by the White House. The speeches are classified according to genr
Denna studie ämnar till att undersöka professionaliseringens och den ökade kon-kurrensens påverkan på humanitära organisationer samt hur förändringen påverkar deras kommunikation gentemot medlemmarna och bidragsgivarna. För att konkre-tisera det valda ämnet är denna studie en fallstudie med Rädda Barnen som fall. Studien och analysen är av en kvalitativ typ och vårt empiriska material består av inThe aim of this paper is to examine how the professionalization and the increased competition affect humanitarian organizations, as well as how the changes affect the communication with their members and contributors. We are carrying out a case study of the Save the Children organization in order to concretize the chosen subject. The study and analysis is of a qualitative type and our empirical ma
In trying to find a project from my bachelor’s degree, I looked back at my previous 3 years studying design. I wanted to give myself a challenge and decided to take this opportunity to work on some of my problem areas. My personal style have always been minimalistic but not explored enough as my projects often becomes conceptual with less focus on the aesthetics of the finished product and more on
Increasing rates of unemployment are becoming a major global issue nowadays, thus increasing uncertainty for young people. Creating new ventures and becoming entrepreneurs can serve as ‘long run’ career solutions to survive in high unemployment situations for students. This study aims to explore direct and indirect effects of emotional competence on entrepreneurial learning through multiple mediat
Chinese technical and vocational education (VET) has been developed rapidly after the economic reform since 1978. The graduates from VET schools have become the important labour force in the Chinese labour market. There is a debate on the employment situation of the VET graduates. Throughout the previous research, most of them focused on the employment rate and returns to education. This study aim
The expansion of the internet has increased steadily since its introduction in the early 1990’s. Whilst having many positive effects on many different areas of society, one area that has not been thoroughly analysed is the political. Being a source for information and communication the potential for the internet to have political implications is large. This essay analyses the possible effects high
Den engelska professorn och filosofen Roger Scruton har under ett långt akademiskt liv kritiserat samtiden på många olika sätt. Han är kritisk till det postmoderna samhället och filosofer som Focault, Derrida och Habermas. Han menar att den västerländska kulturen idag står under hot. Syftet med denna uppsats är därför att redogöra för och kritisk diskutera Scrutons analys och kritik av det västerlThe English professor and philosopher Roger Scruton has in a long academic life criticized contemporaries in many different ways. He is critical of the post-modern society and philosophers as Focault, Derrida and Habermas. He believes that Western culture today is under threat. The purpose of this bachelor's degree project is to describe and discuss critical Scrutons analysis and criticism of
The following thesis is a quantitative study on sexuality as it relates to gender and desire. By using the Klein Sexual Orientation Grid (KSOG) on a non-representative (snowball) sample, I want to explore ways of “measuring” and understanding sexuality on a quantitative level. My aim is to examine how the respondents’ sexuality is conveyed through KSOG and to what extent that picture corresponds t
ChemCo is a high quality producer in the speciality chemical market, a market characterised by complex production and high variability. With limited system-support and limited data quality, delivery accuracy suffered, and so did production efficiency. ChemCo believed that this was due to poor lead-time performance, why they wished to research the problem. Research on setting lead-times has focused
On the basis of ethnographic fieldwork, this thesis sheds light on the experiences of urban Syrian refugees in re-establishing livelihoods in Istanbul after displacement. The first part of the thesis identifies social exclusion mechanisms, including lack of access to a stable legal status, education and permission to work legally, as well as extensive discrimination and harassment as constituting
I provide evidence on the impact of pre-primary school expansion on maternal labour supply in the context of South Africa. I draw on administrative data from the South African National Census in 2001 and 2011, and a Community Survey in 2007, to extract household information. My identification strategy exploits the staggered timing and intensity in the expansion of pre-primary school facilities acr
If cars had developed as fast as processors they would go at 470,000 mph, get 100,000 miles to the gallon, and cost 3 cents" claims Paul Ottelini, Intel CEO 2005-2013. This serves as a reminder of how fast the field of nanoelectronics is developing due to constant demand for faster and more energy efficient integrated circuits. The still ongoing electronics revolution was accelerated by the i
Automated Software testing is becoming increasingly popular, which in turn creates more information that has to be analyzed. At the software company Qlik a tool called NIOCAT is used to create clusters of failed test cases thought to originate from the same code defect. The clustering is done in order to decrease the ever increasing amount of manual analysis needed to be done with regards to softw
