Ferroelectric memories pose as a potential candidate as resistive memory devices that could be used for in-memory computing and artificial synapses. One promising type of ferroelectric memory device is the ferroelectric tunnel junction (FTJ). The basic functionality of a FTJ device is based upon the fact that ferroelectric materials display two distinct polarisation states which could be switched

Cancer är en av de vanligaste dödsorsakerna och står bakom 10 miljoner dödsfall varje år. De vanligaste och mest studerade behandlingarna av cancer inkluderar kemoterapi och cellgifter, men det finns även andra sätt att behandla cancer. Ponera att kroppen själv kunde ta hand om cancer.

Localization of multiple sound sources from a microphone array is a challenging task that has been a research topic for decades. The challenges stem from the diversity of acoustic contexts due to reverberation and disturbances. Therefore, recent approaches that impose structure on the sound sources, rather than on the noise, have shown promising results. The offline method HALO was proposed in 201

I Sverige jobbar tusentals människor som gymnasielärare och av dessa lämnade 7% yrket under 2019. En anledning är stress. Tidigare forskning visar att lärare löper 50% högre risk att drabbas av stressrelaterad utmattning jämfört med andra yrkesgrupper och ett skäl till detta är bristande balans mellan arbete och privatliv. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur gymnasielärare själva uppleverIn Sweden, thousands of people work as high school teachers and of these, 7% left the profession in 2019. One reason is stress. Previous research shows that teachers are 50% more likely to suffer from stress-related fatigue compared to other occupational groups and one reason for this is a lack of balance between work and private life. The purpose of this study is to investigate how high school te

For people with blindness or visual impairment, everyday life risks being characterized by mental problems, loneliness and low mobility. At the same time, research shows that social interaction and movement in particular contribute to a higher quality of life. That is why the aid Audomni is currently being developed at the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University. Audomni uses a Time-of-Flight ca

Det råder en global kontinuerlig teknikutveckling som präglar internet med nya innovationer. Många onlinetjänster på internet bedriver sina verksamheter med hjälp av datainsamling av de digitala konsumenterna. Teknikutveckling kräver en insats från både onlinetjänster som behöver vara fortsatt anpassningsbara och digitala konsumenter som behöver begripa vilka konsekvenser utveckling har. Datainsam

Studiens syfte är att ur ett sociologiskt perspektiv belysa nutida föräldrars upplevelser av föräldraskapets normer och förväntningar. Den syftar också till att belysa eventuella upplevda skillnader mellan förväntningar mot mammor respektive pappor. Studien görs mot en bakgrund av tidigare forskning, statistik och föräldraskapslitteratur som belyser förekomsten av föräldraskapsnormer, att mammor o

The current Lithium Era of Chile shares many similarities with the Saltpetre Era that took place in the country decades ago. To understand whether there is a historical mirror between both, this paper uses a synthetic control method to carry out a regional comparison of the effect of saltpetre mining, and several forecasts to anticipate what to expect from the development of the lithium sector in

Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur svenska konsumenter mellan 18 år och äldre förhåller sig till hållbara last mile-leveranser vid användandet av e-handel, för att med utgångspunkt i konsumenternas värdeskapande använda detta som underlag för huruvida teorin om the seven rights of logistics borde uppdateras för att inkludera ett bredare hållbarhetstänk. För att kunna undersöka detta består up

Bakgrund: Personer med psykisk ohälsa upplever ofta svårigheter i att finna mening och värde i aktiviteter. Dock är dessa typer av subjektiva upplevelser viktiga för god hälsa. Vardag i balans (VIB) är en arbetsterapeutisk gruppintervention som ämnar främja upplevelsen av mening och värde i aktivitet. Trots att forskning visar att sociodemografiska aspekter kan frambringa skillnader i värdeuppleveBackground: People with mental illness often have difficulties experiencing meaning and value in occupations although these types of experiences are important for well-being. Balancing Everyday Life (BEL) is an occupational therapy group intervention intended to promote these experiences. Although research shows that sociodemographic aspects can yield differences in experience of value, there are

In recent years, more than 2000 jurisdictions worldwide have declared a climate emergency, which covers over 1 billion people. While such declarations have been found to have the potential to spark transformative climate action, the scholarly knowledge of this emerging phenomenon remains limited and there is much disagreement about the merits and effects of climate emergency framings. Moreover, no
