This thesis investigates a new type of Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) architecture which combines a phase/frequency detector (PFD) and a digital loop filter. The quantization is done by a time-to-digital converter which continuously shrinks the pulse coming from the PFD and registers how far it propagates. Based on how far into the TDC each pulse propagates, the phase error is determined. The design is f
This thesis investigates the variations in working capital management between Croatian and Finnish companies across different sizes. The study aims to gain a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing these variations and the underlying reason behind them.

I begreppet minne ryms flera kognitiva processer. En viktig minnesförmåga är mönsterseparation, som innebär att skilja nya visuella intryck från redan kända. Det datoriserade bildminnestestet MST (Mnemonic Similarity Task) har tagits fram för att testa denna förmåga. MST administrerades över internet, och 38 deltagare testades vid flera sessioner för att jämföra förmågan vid olika tidpunkter. Dess
Efter en lagändring som trädde i kraft 1 januari 2022 infördes krav på klimatdeklarationer vid uppförande av nya byggnader. Syftet med ändringen är att samla in data och statistik för att i framtiden kunna införa gränsvärden på klimatpåverkan. Vissa bärande konstruktionsdelar i grundläggningen, som pålar, inkluderas dock inte i dagens klimatdeklarationer. Grundkonstruktionernas dimensioner berorFollowing a legislative amendment that came into effect on January 1, 2022, there is now a requirement for climate declarations for new buildings. The purpose of this amendment is to gather data and statistics to potentially establish limits on climate impact in the future. There are certain limitations regarding which structural components of the foundation are included in the climate declaration
Det direkta och omedelbara koppling testet, även det indirekta koppling testet i moms av EU ingår inte i momsdirektivet. Medlemsstaterna använder sig av avdragsrätten på olika sätt, vilket förvärrar problemet. Av denna anledning görs i denna avhandling sex punkter för att identifiera det direkta testets skyldigheter. Dessutom smälter de tre principerna om rättssäkerhet, ekonomisk verklighet och skThe direct and immediate link test, which is a fundamental requirement for the right of deduction to exist, is not mentioned at all in the EU VAT Directive. Additionally, Member State transposition is not a harmonised process. This leads to divergences in how different EU Member States grant the right of deduction. As a solution to this, the Court of Justice of the European Union allows Member Sta
South Swedish, as a dialect of modern Swedish, has two tonal word accents, accent 1 and accent 2. Regarding these two word accents, there are three groups of hypotheses on which one is more lexically specified. The first group believes that accent 2 is more specified and accent 1 is default shaped by intonation, whereas the second group deems that accent 1 is lexically specified and accent 2 is th
This thesis explores various aspects of urban design and societal factors that contribute to creating child-friendly environments. The study begins by examining child-friendly design, emphasizing the significance of considering children’s needs in urban planning. Following this, a city-wide analysis of Reykjavík is conducted, exploring the swimming pool culture, the preschool and school system, an
This thesis examines how consumers perceive race representation by iconic brands, aiming to bridge the knowledge gap in the areas of cultural branding, consumer culture, and ethics withi sustainability. Currently, there is limited research on the intersection of cultural branding and ethics within sustainability, particularly regarding racial representation. Given the growing importance of ethics
Over the past decades, social impact investment has become popular because of its potential to solve pertinent world problems by financing social enterprises. This study focuses on assessing the influence of digital signals towards impact investors’ decision-making process when evaluating early-stage social ventures using digital media, by conducting exploratory qualitative research (semi-structur
Counting opening cycles on an automatic sliding door is of great interest for a company manufacturing doors, such as ASSA Abloy. These metrics could be used for consumer statistics or for door diagnostics. Counting opening cycles is seemingly trivial when there is access to the door’s internal diagnostics or having adequate sensors. Problems start to arise when these are not present, which is the
Kriget i Ukraina har drivit upp flyktingantalet till ett högre antal än någonsin tidigare. Syftet med denna studie är att med hjälp av en kritisk diskursanalys och den postkoloniala teorin analysera hur ukrainska flyktingar framställs i svensk media idag. Framställningen kontrasteras mot tidigare forskning kring framställningen av flyktingar i media. Syftet operationaliseras i följande frågeställn
Denna studie har utförts med syfte att undersöka sambandet mellan sociotropi och konformitet, samt könsskillnader inom dem. Relationen mellan dessa variabler är hittills outforskad, men tidigare forskning föreslår att det rimligen finns ett positivt samband mellan dem. Denna studie kan därmed bidra till viktiga kompletterande perspektiv för att uppnå en bredare förståelse av individuella egenskapeThis study was aimed to examine the relationship between sociotropy and conformity, together with gender differences within them. While this specific intersection of subjects has not been explored earlier, previous research suggests it would be reasonable to expect a positive relationship between them. This study could therefore contribute to important supplementary perspectives to achieve a broad
Study purpose: The maritime shipping industry, particularly the commercial sector, is a significant contributor to carbon emissions and environmental pollution. Various solutions are being proposed to enhance the sector's sustainability, including the adoption of wind propulsion technologies.
