Semiconductor nanowires are the potential base for building many future devices like solar cells and light emitting diodes. To reach the level of commercialization of such devices, mass production of NWs at low cost with reproducible high quality properties in terms of crystallinity, material and dimensions is a prerequisite. At Lund University a new technique, called Aerotaxy, which satisfies the
The use of computer models in research and development is a powerful tool to make the engineering process more effective. By providing accurate simulations, the need for working prototypes and extensive testing is reduced. This Master’s Thesis investigates the Gambro WRO 300 H reverse osmosis water purification system with the aim of creating a working and easily adaptable computer model of the ma
Swedish municipalities vary in size and they are differently vulnerable in regards to alterations and development. During the years 1993-2013 the population decreased in 161 of the 290 municipalities, and the following question leads us to the investigated problem: What is the source of the decreased population, and what are the consequences? The thesis restricts the research objects into three mu
Both the European Union and the Swedish government consider the need for evidence-based practice and public awareness crucial in nature conservation work. When authorities perform nature conservation projects, they need to hire machine contractors through public procurement. However, there is no way for the authorities to demand high competence in nature conservation work in the public procurement
I denna uppsats analyseras om, och i så fall hur, domaren kan minska risken för s.k. systematiska tankefel vid bevisvärderingen i brottmål. Ett systematiskt tankefel är ett tankefel som vi människor tenderar att göra gång på gång och som uppkommer som en konsekvens av hur det mänskliga tänkandet är konstruerat. Det finns anledning att anta att dessa typer av tankefel också förekommer inom ramen föThis paper is concerned with cognitive biases in legal decision making. A bias is a systematic error in thinking which can be explained by the way the human mind is designed. There are reasons to believe that judges fall prey to biases and errors when they are confronted with evidence in Court. The author discusses whether it is possible for judges to avoid biases when they evaluate legal evidenc
Denna studie syftar undersöka hur och med vilka intentioner hållbarhet integreras och implementeras av organisationer i en delningsekonomisk kontext. Vidare ämnar studien bidra till fältet för hållbarhetsvarumärkning, där föga forskning har utförts med avsikt att sammanbinda hållbarhetsvarumärkning med delningsekonomi. Tolv semistrukturerade intervjuer med VD:s och marknadsansvariga utfördes med sThis study intends to explore how and with what intentions organisations within a sharing economy context choose to integrate and implement the concept of sustainability. It further aims to contribute to the field of sustainability branding, where very limited research has been carried out in regards of sustainability branding within a context of sharing economy. Twelve semi-structured interviews
På Göteborgs bostadsrättsmarknad har man under många år observerat bostadsrättsförsäljningar till rekordhöga prisnivåer. Utgångspriserna på bostadsrätter har inte varit med om samma prisutveckling, vilket bidragit till diskussion kring fenomenet lockpriser. Lockpriser innebär att fastighetsmäklare sätter utgångspris som väsentligen understiger marknadsvärde. Marknaden verkar succesivt ha anpassat Gothenburg’s housing market has for many years observed increased price levels for condominium sales. The asking prices have although not observed the same increase which has contributed to a discussion about an ineffective market and the consumers experienced difficulty in valuing condominiums. Realtors in Sweden commonly set the asking price at a substantially lower level than the estimated mark
This qualitative study examines how the Israeli occupation affects and interferes with Palestinian intimate relationships in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The research material consists of semi-structured interviews with female students and graduates conducted during a short period of fieldwork in the West Bank in September 2016. The thesis shows that Israeli mechanisms of control, such as

This research is exploratory and advocacy based, taking place within a rural region in Norway. It involved two interconnected questions: Q1. What are the challenges to increasing environmentally sustainable performance in the region? Q2. What solutions could increase environmentally sustainabl
Atherosclerosis is a chronic disease of arteries. Cardiovascular diseases, of which atherosclerosis is an underlying mechanism, are the most common causes of death globally. The disease is characterised by lipids having penetrated the intima of the artery wall, accompanied by inflammation, fibrosis and endothelial hyperplasia. Accumulated cells, lipids, connective-tissue elements and debris from t
Enligt principen om verklig innebörd kan domstolarna omklassificera de skattskyldigas rättshandlingar om de skattskyldigas faktiska handlande inte överensstämmer med rättshandlingarnas form. Domstolarna kan således anse att ett avtal som är rubricerat som ett lån i själva verket utgör ett köp. Vad domstolen gör är med andra ord att utreda vad som rent faktiskt har ägt rum, för att sedan beskatta dIn Swedish internal tax law, there is a judge made principle that allows the courts and taxation agency to recharacterize agreements concluded by the taxpayers, if the form is not consistent with the actual conduct of the parties. Subsequently, according to the principle of substance over form, a loan can be recharacterized as a purchase if the conduct of the parties and other circumstances are no
Enorma mängder människor är just nu på flykt i världen. Många av dessa är barn som har kommit till Sverige utan förälder eller annan legal vårdnashavare. Dessa barn är en extra känslig grupp och jag har i detta examensarbete därför valt att designa ett HVB (hem för vård eller boende) för 24 ensamkommande flyktingbarn, på området Möllevången, i centrala Malmö. Jag har ställt mig frågan: Hur arkite
RNA interference (RNAi) is a biological gene silencing mechanism that functions in every cell, and has the last two decades become a promising approach for genetic therapeutics. With small interfering RNA (siRNA) complementary to the target gene sequence, the siRNA together with the RNA induced silencing complex (RISC), can degrade the coding mRNA, inhibit protein from translation and thus mediate
I dagens marknad måste akustiktak vara både funktionellt och estetiskt tilltalande. För att uppfylla de behoven har Saint-Gobain Ecophon utvecklat en produkt som heter Focus DS som är ett demonterbart akustiktak med dolt bärverk.

Svensk sjöfart har sedan oljekrisen i början av 1970-talet i olika omgångar haft svårt att konkurrera på den internationella marknaden. Svenska rederier har saknat de verktyg som flertalet andra sjöfartsnationer har haft för att kunna hålla nere personalkostnaderna. Dessa verktyg har exempelvis bestått i parallella sjöfartsregister. Svenskt tonnage har därför bekvämlighetsflaggats i register utanfSince the oil crisis in the early 1970s´ the shipping companies in Sweden have faced difficulties in their competition with other seafarer nations. Ship owners in other countries has certain tools in order to keep the employee costs down that the Swedish ships owners don´t have. The tools in question is parallel ships registers that are of a convenient model for the ship owners. As a result of the
