Semiconductors composed of group III and group V elements have a variety of promising applications, such as topological insulators and quantum computers. Among this category of semiconductors, bismuth (Bi)-containing III-V compounds are able to make these applications possible. However, the difficulty was found to alloy Bi atoms into the host lattice. To solve the problem of material fabrication,

This thesis explores how structure and national role conceptions (NRC) shape foreign policy behavior. U.S. and Chinese foreign policy behaviors are studied from a system-level and state-level of analysis to investigate how U.S.-Chinese relations are affected by a shifting international structure and roles in the context of rising nationalism under President Xi and Trump. Neoclassical realism and t
Denna studie syftar till att undersöka musiklärares retoriska medvetenhet och användning av retoriska verktyg i ensembleundervisning. Bakgrunden till studien är vår vilja att fördjupa kunskapen om retorikens fördelar i musikundervisning. Studien bygger primärt på kvalitativa, semistrukturerade intervjuer och sekundärt på observationer. Dessa är genomförda med fyra musiklärare som undervisar på gymThis study aims to investigate the rhetorical awareness of music teachers and the use of rhetorical tools in ensemble teaching. The background to the study is our desire to deepen the knowledge of the advantages of rhetoric in music education. The study is primarily based on qualitative, semi-structured interviews and secondarily on observations. These are completed with four music teachers who te
Pappers- och pappersmassaindustrin har ökat markant under de senaste årtiondena. På grund av att samhället har blivit mer miljömedvetet har återvinning av papper blivit en allt viktigare del inom industrin. Återvunna pappersfiber är dock av lägre kvalité än nygjorda fibrer. Syftet med denna rapport är att analysera möjligheterna att använda ett enzym av typen lackas för att modifiera interaktionenThe pulp and paper industry have been a growing market during the last decades. Due to higher environmental concerns among people, the recycling of papers has become an even more important part of the industry. Recycled paper fibers however are of lower quality than virgin fibers. This report aims to analyze the possibility to use a laccase enzyme to modify the interaction between lignin and recyc
The European Commission has recognised the need for a transition to a circular economy paradigm which promotes resource efficiency and sustainable waste management. To achieve such transition, there is a need to introduce new policy instruments that leads to waste management improvements. Quantitative macroeconomic modelling in this area is still scarce and provides few insights about the conseque
In recent decades, digitalisation has been a catalyst for economic growth, along which a vital need emerged for contemporary organisations to rapidly anticipate and react to changes. Organisational change is thus a recognised and widely researched topic within the literature. As we study a software implementation, executed as planned change project, we take on a process perspective on change, part
Many product-based companies have identified digital services as a promising way to differentiate themselves and to stimulate future growth. However, as digital services frequently induce a business model change to a pay-per-use or subscription model, companies see themselves increasingly challenged as their revenues are progressively dependent on customers’ actual usage. This is in contrast to th
Title: CONFIGURING THE CORPORATE ACCELERATOR FOR SYNERGIES: A Multiple Case Study on the Relation Between Configurations of Corporate Accelerators and Potential for Synergies with Startup Support Institutions Date of the seminar: 27 May, 2019 Course: ENTN39 Master’s Programme in Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Internship and Degree Project (Master’s thesis 15 ECTS) Authors: Jacob Szemberg and G
Efter finanskrisen 2008 och Liborskandalen 2012 har dagens referensräntor ifrågasatts och omdiskuterats. Det har lett till det pågående arbetet världen över med att byta ut de traditionella IBOR-räntorna och ersätta de med nya, transaktionsbaserade referensräntor. Redan år 2021 planerar både England och USA att fasa ut IBOR och övergå till nya, alternativa referensräntor. Det finns stora skillnadeAfter the financial crisis in 2008 and the Libor scandal 2012 today’s reference rates have been questioned and debated. This has led to the ongoing work around the world; replacing the traditional IBOR’s with new, transaction-based reference rates. In 2021, both UK and the US plan to phase out IBOR and move to new, alternative reference rates (ARR). There are major differences between IBOR and the
The phenomenon of empty labour gained considerable attention throughout the past years - mainly through its debate in public media and the introduction of the term by Roland Paulsen. We aim to contribute to the existing literature by adding alternative explanations to this phenomenon, as it is, up until now, mainly presented in a negative light. More specifically, we investigate how organisational
The aftermath of the recent refugee crisis in Europe has been debated to a great extent across the globe. Yet, little statistical analysis has been done to uncover the impacts of refugee inflows on crime and voting behavior. In this paper, two topics on the effects of the refugee crisis are investigated. We ask: How did the recent increase of refugee inflows affect crime rates and voting behavior
Despite ample evidence on the importance of labor market opportunities for women’s bargaining power, the link between public childcare availability and female empowerment has so far been widely overlooked. Using detailed survey data on household dynamics, this paper investigates the impact of the Mexican childcare program Estancias Infantiles para Apoyar a Madres Trabajadoras on women’s decision-m
Abstract Research questions: Which dynamic service innovation capabilities are used in different types of service innovation? How are they used in the different types? And why does their application vary? Methodology: The study has been conducted through investigating multiple cases within a single case company and followed a qualitative research strategy to identify (the application of) dynamic
3D-utrskrivning och topologioptimering kan ses som det perfekta paret där varje part lyfter upp respektives bästa sida, topologioptimering optimerar styrkan mot ett volymvillkor och 3D-utskrivning möjliggör tillverkning. En ny metod presenteras som tar hänsyn till överhäng i 3D-utskrivning för att slippa eventuella stödstrukturer.Topology optimization answers the question "How to place the material within a prescribed design domain in order to obtain the best structural performance? " and the design obtained is usually complex. Additive manufacturing comes with a well known design freedom and the design provided by topology optimization can be manufactured without as many constraints as conventional manufacturing
The observed and expected changes in the environment due to human actions implies risks that future food production will be insufficient. Pre- dicting the impact these changes have on the agricultural system could be beneficial by allowing for proactive mitigating efforts. The prediction of these impacts often involve large computer programs that simulate the behavior of the environment. By implem
This report aims to communicate the process and result of the master’s thesis project that was accomplished at TePe Munhygienprodukter AB, with the title Development of a dental measuring instrument. The project had a timeframe of 18 weeks and consisted to a large extent of generating a foundation for developing a product that allows for simple measuring of interdental spaces. TePe develops denta
