This thesis proves the successful synthesis of silicon carbide (SiC) monolayers on the tantalum carbide (TaC) (111) substrate through a novel bottom-up growth method, offering improved control over the supply of constituent materials for a more detailed study of the formation process. Initial examination of the clean TaC(111) surface revealed surface-induced states in its electronic band structure

Rondo är en byggnad på Lisebergs nöjesfält som uppfördes 1940 och har genomgått förändringar både av byggnaden och av verksamheten sedan dess. Brandskyddet varierar genom byggnaden beroende på hur moderna delarna är och en verifiering av Rondos brandskydd är därför relevant. Rapporten syftar därför till att utvärdera Rondos brandskydd; målet med rapporten blir då att analysera de brandscenarierRondo is a building at Liseberg amusement park that was constructed in 1940, and both the building and the establishment have since gone through several changes. As a result, the degree of fire protection of the building varies depending on the modernity of the parts. A verification of the functionality of the fire protection is therefore relevant. The report aims to evaluate the fire protectio

Micropollutants, such as pharmaceutical residues, are increasingly prevalent in water sources, posing significant risks to human and animal health while contributing to antimicrobial resistance. Despite high-standard wastewater treatment across the EU, the effective removal of micropollutants requires the adoption of more advanced treatment technologies, specifically quaternary treatment technolog

Världen idag är i ett stort behov av att byta ut fossila råvaror mot mer hållbara alternativ. Nya processer behöver utvecklas för att minska våra utsläpp, bland annat tillverkning av icke fossilbaserade plaster. Plasten polyetylenfuranoat (PEF) har visat stor potential som alternativ till PET, och kan tillverkas av 5-hydroymetylfurfural (HMF). HMF kan bland annat framställas från fruktos, vilket kThe demand for plastics is growing due to global population, economic growth and insufficient recycling, where new bio-based feedstocks must be investigated to meet future emission goals. 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a promising platform chemical that can produce Polyethylene furanoate (PEF) with similar characteristics to fossil-based polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The HMF can be produced

A qualitative content analysis has been conducted to achieve the purpose of the study, which has

There is an increased demand for managing the complex hospital organisations in which healthcare personnel operate within, which is even more so evident from today's healthcare crisis in Sweden. Since the World Health Organisation (WHO) emphasised the importance of interprofessional collaboration in 2010, research on this area has increased. However, much of the research considers only one act

Though as performance management systems often relies on ad-hoc, informal methods, leading to inconsistencies and misalignment with organizational objectives. This study advocates for a systematic approach to performance management system implementation, aligning it with orga

This thesis investigates the value relevance of accounting metrics in the Nordic stock markets from 2018 to 2022, applying and extending the Ohlson equity valuation model. Given the increasing importance of intangible assets in modern economies, we also explore how traditional accounting metrics explain stock prices, particularly for companies with high intangible asset ratios. Using a deductive r
