Några av de stora mysterierna inom fysik idag handlar om vad mörk materia egentligen är och varför det finns så mycket mer materia än antimateria i universum. Två av de planerade instrumenten vid ESS i Lund, HIBEAM och NNBAR, har som mål att försöka besvara dessa frågor genom att studera hypotetiska fria neutronoscillationer. I detta arbete har optiska guidesystem för neutroner på HIBEAMs strålstrIn this project, a neutron delivery system for the study of free neutron oscillations at the HIBEAM beamline at the European Spallation Source (ESS) has been developed. The HIBEAM experiment is part of a two-stage program at ESS which will address open questions in physics; specifically the nature of dark matter and the observed asymmetry between matter and antimatter in the Universe. This will be

This thesis aims to evaluate the performance of Siemens’ High Level Synthesis (HLS) tool Catapult. HLS can be considered the next step up in abstraction level from writing traditional Register Transfer Level (RTL) code which is time consuming and error prone. The promise of HLS is to speed up the process of designing integrated circuits by lifting the abstraction level so the design can be coded f

Arbetstagare och deras arbetsmiljö är ett ständigt aktuellt ämne som diskuteras i olika sammanhang. Det framkommer också dystra bilder vilka signalerar undermålig arbetsmiljö runt om på en del av landets arbetsplatser. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka arbetstagares upplevelser och dess betydelse för arbetsmiljöarbetet. Mot bakgrund av det ställs frågor kring vad som påverkar arbetstagares

The academic interest in remote work has drastically increased over recent years, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Existing studies have proven that remote work has advantages and disadvantages for employers and employees. However, little is known about the influence of remote work and the relevant factors in the context of newcomers and their organizational socialization. Building on th

In recent years, Swedish municipalities have introduced programs that combine Swedish language education with vocational training. However, due to the novelty and lack of an established framework, data and research on their effectiveness in improving immigrant labour market performance is limited. This essay addresses this gap by estimating the causal effect of vocational training combined with Sw

This research investigates the gender dimension of the impacts of access to clean and modern energy and technology in productive uses of energy. Rural organizations led by women supported by the EnDev project Bolivia were selected for a multi-site case study. This project aims to facilitate clean and modern energy access, create and strengthen rural markets, and alleviate poverty. The energy justi

Voluntourism is often described as a sustainable development strategy facilitating Global Learning and cross-cultural exchange. Initiated by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the voluntourism program Weltwärts strives to create stronger international partnerships, development engagement, and equitable encounters. The practice of voluntourism is contested,

Examensarbetet fokuserar på utvärdering samt testning av FLEXNET, ett Unattended Ground Sensor (UGS) system utvecklat av Bertin Exensor. FLEXNET:s grund-läggande syfte är att övervaka stora områden utan att kräva omfattande resurser i form av personal som aktivt övervakar och underhåller systemet på plats. Vid utvecklandet av större system kan det ofta vara besvärligt att utföra fullskaliga testThe thesis focuses on the evaluation and testing of FLEXNET, an Unattended Ground Sensor (UGS) system developed by Bertin Exensor. The primary purpose of FLEXNET is to monitor large areas without requiring extensive resources in the form of personnel actively monitoring and maintaining the system on site. In the development of comprehensive systems it can often be challenging to carry out full-sc

This research aims to examine the effects of interference and context presentation during the retrieval of encoded information which was encoded in a dynamic context. To examine this, we conducted two experiments where there was a presentation of information where half of the overall encoded information shared a constituent with information that was encoded in another context. The remaining half o

Purpose: investigate in which ways sustainable development in Swedish schools is constructed as a wicked problem. Research Question: How is sustainable development constructed as a wicked problem in Swedish educational contexts? Methodology: A qualitative study approach was implemented where 20 semi-structured interviews were used for data collection. The data analysis followed the process of sort

Delaktighet och inflytande i mitt liv är ledorden i lagen om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade (LSS-lagen). 1994 trädde lagen om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade (1993:387) i kraft. Lagen om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade är en pluslag, med det menas att den individ som har stöd i lagen om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade får inskränka på de rät

Thesis Purpose: This study examines how parasocial relationships between music artists and fans foster a plethora of different consumer attitudinal outcomes, with the purpose to provide clarity through the shaping of distinct consumer archetypes, while offering in this way practical insights for marketers and industry professionals. The context of K-pop is used to delve deeper into the understandi

Since 2019, Icelanders can self-determine their legal gender. A third “neutral” option was also added. However, formulations in the Act allow only one self-determined change (Act on Gender Autonomy, 2019). Research on self-determination of legal gender has shown how acts can have limited effects since legal change is insufficient in addressing injustice. The separation of medical and legal concern

Att mark tas i anspråk för allmänna ändamål såsom kraftledningar är nödvändigt för att samhället ska fungera. Företags- och miljöskada, två skador som uppkommer för fastighetsägare i samband med markåtkomst. För att bibehålla ett äganderättsligt skydd innebär båda skadorna att fastighetsägaren har rätt till kompensation för intrånget om vissa kriterier uppfylls. Företagsskada regleras i ExpropriatEnvironmental- and enterprise damage are two freehold compensations related to land acquisition. They are regulated in The Environmental Code and Expropriation Act. Enterprise damage implicates damages created by the activity that occurs on the expropriated property, such as noise, view disturbance, psychic immissions etc. Environmental damage implicates the same damage however in question of prop

In the following thesis, the development of the biofuels sector in the United States will be analysed using environmental economics. Around year 2005, there was a significant increase in the production of liquid biofuels. Hence, the thesis aims to explore the reasons behind the increase. Acts of government have been analysed while enlisting the help of summaries and overviews accessed through v

The dissertation explores the refugees and EU securitization processes pursued by Hungary and Poland during the period of refugees’ crisis. The securitization theory is used along with CDA and topos tool to analyse the politicians’ speeches and statements, the joint reports of the two countries, besides Orbán’s national consultations. Where a clear security language in all of these sources that li

The agri-food system has driven economic development and supported the growing population, but it has also significantly contributed to greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, the system is vulnerable and faces challenges that hinder innovation and sustainability. Transitioning from a linear to a circular economy model in the food system can effectively restore biodiversity, combat climate change, and
