Large particle accelerators are difficult to setup. One of the first problems that can be encountered, before production configuration is found, is the beam not passing through the accelerator. The process of guiding the beam through the accelerator is called beam threading. Depending on the accelerator complexity it can take days before the beam passes for the first time. Currently the beam thre
I dagens samhälle har vi en ofantligt hög konsumtion av förpackade drycker. För att ständigt förbättra kvalitén och korta ner produktionstid krävs en ständig utveckling av produkter. I applikationer för öppningsbarhet och skruvkorkar till förpackningar används bland annat plasten polypropen. Målet med studien som har gjorts har varit att undersöka hur plasten varierar i vissa utvalda egenskaper soThis master thesis is the result of cooperation between Lund University and Tetra Pak, performed by a student at Engineering Nanoscience, LTH. The aim is to explain how different molecular weights and molecular weight distribution of isotactic homo-polypropylene affect resulting properties. Examined properties are mechanical properties by tensile testing and tensile impact, shear viscosity by capi
This paper examines long-run and short-term dynamics of real house prices in Sweden from the first quarter in 1986 to the last quarter in 2017. To understand this, multivariate co-integration and error correction modelling approach are used. More specifically, this paper examines whether fundamental factors of demand and supply can explain the real house price development in Sweden. Evidence shows
Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur olika typer av omskrivningar; metaforer och liknelser används av elever och lärare i ämnet Gehörs- och musiklära. Mer specifikt undersöks hur elever väljer att beskriva tre typer av färgade ackord, hur de upplever användandet av dessa beskrivningar som hjälp för att identifiera ackorden samt hur en lärare i ämnet Gehörs- och musiklära använder sig av metaThis study aims to investigate how different types of rewriting; metaphors and similarities are used by students and teachers in music theory and ear training. More specifically, how students choose to describe three types of colored chords, how they perceive the use of these descriptions to help identify the chords and how a music theory teacher uses metaphors, descriptive words and associations
Research question-/s: How does the time perceived by employees influence their individual innovative behaviour? Methodology: The research strategy of the study is quantitative with the use of a deductive method with influences of induction. Overall the design is a cross-sectional study design with the primary source of data collection through an online survey administered to a selected sample. T
How are non-heterosexual spaces for men constructed and how can we understand them? What purpose do they fill? Where does non-heterosexual men go looking to find other nonheterosexual men? This Bachelor thesis in Gender Studies explore the answers to these questions. Inspired by ’’Såna på Amerikabåtarna’’ a sociological study by Arne Nilsson the research of this thesis is drawing on four qualitati
Design can steer individuals in different ways to guide them to perform an intended behavior and make certain decisions. Persuasive design and digital nudging refer to two design strategies, which both emphasize the concept of designing with intention. By guiding users through design within the process of decision-making. Digital nudging originates from the concept of nudging which is rarely menti
BI system utilisation influence organisational knowledge, data sensemaking and meaning construction practices. The research explore how the use of BI technologies change meaning power distribution in an organisation. The study used two theories of meaning power – deterministic and continuous framing. From those their concepts the framework for interview guide was compiled. Interpretative strategy
Blockchain-teknologin har haft en explosiv karaktär i samband med kryptovalutan bitcoins. Den moderna teknologin karaktäriseras som en öppen, decentraliserad och distribuerad databas för lagring av transaktionsinformation. Genom att eliminera centraliserade tredjeparter tillåter tekniken två parter att förhandla med varandra. Detta öppnar upp möjligheten att uppnå betydligt mer transparenta transa
This thesis contributes to the existing literature by examining the effect of oil prices on floating exchange rates of oil dependent countries. I conduct empirical tests on monthly data of 32 currencies over a timeframe of 15 years from 2003 to 2017 and 13 currencies over a timeframe of 25 years from 1993 to 2017. The analysis, therefore, includes a large sample that has the drawback of a shorter
Innovations and economic growth are tightly connected. They are responsible for the humanity’s progress into a modern and industrialized society; they improved welfare, life quality and solved problems in diverse fields. Implicitly, it is expected that innovations will continue to do so. However, some statistics reveal that this view might be overly optimistic, as investments in innovative activit

This article uses a systematic and rigorous empirical study of the effects of the policies of the national high-tech zones using relevant socio-economic data from 266 prefecture-level cities in 30 provinces in China from 2001 to 2016. We use the characteristics of the gradual advancement of the national high-tech zones to adopt the difference-in-difference model model to estimate the policy impact
