The content of this thesis consists of two parts, theoretical analysis of a pipeline ADC mainly in terms of error source and correction and a source follower based pipeline ADC design prototype. For the general pipeline ADC analysis, we discuss the influence of typical nonidealities from different building blocks, e.g. the comparator, residual amplifier, and DAC, and show the corresponding treatme
History has shown that women in different times and settings have had their sexuality questioned and limited. Women have been called mentally ill, unworthy of being seen as a complete individual and their virginity has been a central subject for discussion. Within the last decades, online forums have been created internationally, where people can discuss taboo subjects anonymously. Many studies ha
This study investigated growth of carbon nanofibers (CNF) using hydrogen (H2) gas on a porous titanium substrate. The target is uniform coverage of vertically aligned CNFs on the substrate, with length of a few micrometers, to produce a surface area enhancement – the intended application of this structure is as a catalyst support. CNFs were synthesized in a plasma enhanced chemical vapor depositio
Syfte: Studiens syfte är att analysera hur kvinnliga konsumenter praktiserar showrooming inom skönhetsbranschen och förstå processen bakom deras användning av denna shoppingmetod. Teoretiska perspektiv: Studien tillämpar praktikteori med särskild tonvikt på begreppen materialitet, kompetens och mening för att undersöka, förstå och ta del av konsumenters beteendemönster och tankar kring showroomin
Syfte Studiens syfte är att finna utvecklingspotential i dagens produktionsmetod med betong- och kors laminerat-trästommar (KL-trästommar), genom att undersöka bygg- och produktionsmetoderna. Målet är att förbättra dessa metoder så att byggbranschen utvecklas ekonomiskt och minskar klimatpåverkan. Metod För att besvara frågeställningarna har studien använt sig av metoderna litteraturstudie och fPurpose The purpose of this study is to identify potential improvements within the current construction management processes associated with concrete and cross-laminated timber (CLT) frames. This is to be completed by examining the construction and production methods used when working with the materials. The goal is to improve these methods so that the construction industry develops economically a
This study aims to explore attitudes towards drugs among social work students and nursing students at Lund University. The objective is to analyze the potential differences between these two groups of students and the connection between the students' potential experiences with drugs and their attitudes. The Tripartite model of attitudes was used as the theoretical framework, with questions des
In this thesis work the potential of compost as a sustainable alternative to peat as soil amendment was investigated. Peat extraction has substantial negative environmental impacts, but concerns exist about potential contaminant accumulation in compost. Four soil amendments, one sourced from a Scanian municipality and three commercially available, were analyzed for the presence of 10 metals, 35 PF
Studieobjekt: E-handelsreturer inom modebranschen ur ett konsumentperspektiv Problemområde: Utifrån tidigare forskning har ökningen av onlineshopping resulterat i att modebranschen präglas av generösa returpolicys, vilket leder till ohållbara konsumentbeteenden och negativa konsekvenser för samhället. Syfte: Syftet med detta arbete är att analysera och undersöka varför e-handelskonsumenters return
The Swedish Armed Forces and the government have given the self-governing regions the responsibility to ensure medical device availability. This means that the regions should be able to provide healthcare that cannot be postponed for a period of six months without any deliveries. Simultaneously, new regulations have been implemented, resulting in stricter rules regarding medical devices. Hence, it
This qualitative study investigates how language barriers affect foreign-born women's ability to seek and receive support and protection from violence in domestic relationships in Sweden. Utilizing interviews with six foreign-born women who have navigated these challenges, the research aims to understand the communicative and structural obstacles these women encounter. The findings reveal that
This thesis investigates Storasystertips, or big sister advice amongst young Swedish women on TikTok and how it reflects gender dynamics and societal expectations on young women in contemporary society. Women’s cultural production is often met with disdain and reduced to being narcissistic, not realising that young women’s production is in fact shaped by broader postfeminist and neoliberal discour
Cancer is a group of diseases involving the uncontrolled growth and spread of cells with the potential to invade and spread to other parts of the body. As the second leading cause of mortality worldwide, early diagnosis is crucial for improving patient prognosis and survival rates. Despite recent advancements, there remains a shortage of effective biomarkers for early detection of the cancer. The
Plastics play a central role in our society today and are omnipresent. Compost frommgarden waste is used in gardening as a soil amendment. This circular use of plants, branches and other green waste is a way to reduce the use of linear resources for soil amendment, such as peat. A problem that can arise when using compost is the spread of plastic particles from the garden waste to the environment.
There is a rising demand for decarbonizing the building sector since it significantly contributes to global carbon emissions. With a focus on the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems specifically, this master’s thesis explores the embodied carbon within these building service systems. Utilizing established life cycle assessment methodologies, the case study thoroughly examines the embodied
This study aims to highlight the practical work and experiences of an organization working for Roma rights and inclusion in southern Sweden.
