Quantum computing is a potentially disruptive field, and a significant amount of resources are invested in technology advancements. The business-related research, however, is a relatively unexplored area. This master’s thesis explores the key factors that buyers consider when purchasing quantum computing hardware, the perception towards start-ups versus established quantum computing companies, and

Föreliggande studie tar avstamp i den massiva kritik som kommit mot Tidöavtalets förslag att använda missbruk som exempel på bristande vandel och skäl för utvisning av utländska medborgare. Flera representanter inom vård- och omsorg har uttryckt att detta inte överensstämmer med dagens kunskap om missbruk som en beroendesjukdom. Studien har en socialkonstruktivistisk utgångspunkt och använder en k

This essay deals with the early trans movement in Sweden, which started in the sixties. Through the personal archive of Eva-Lisa Bengtson, activist and co-founder, it presents the groups Transvestia and FPE-NE (Full personality Expression, Northern Europe) as the first organisations to be started by and for any gender non-conforming people in Sweden. Their primary target group were heterosexual, m

This thesis explores a statistical framework for analysing LDMX data. It uses pre-built functions in the ROOT framework to calculate likelihoods and confidence levels (CL). Data, background and signal were generated in Monte Carlo simulations with a loose veto on signal in the Hcal with simple systematic uncertainties (for the background and signal) created by varying this selection. The data sets

The EU carries out several of its’ goals through programmes. From sustainable energy, improved social welfare and regional development. One way this is done is through the financing and managing of various programmes. Some of these programmes are managed through shared management in how they function. Meaning that the EU are co-funding programmes that are in turn managed by local governments in it

The sustainable development goals (SDGs) were introduced in 2015 to steer worldwide progress towards a sustainable, inclusive and prosperous path. Since then companies have gradually taken up the goals and are today actively reporting contributions to the goals. However, with this, also a novel concept of SDG-washing has emerged – companies claiming to contribute to the SDGs but in reality not doi

Syftet med uppsatsen är att belysa utvecklingen av romance-imprints på den samtida bokmarknaden i Sverige, och hur dessa arbetar med värdeförhandling av romancegenren. Detta görs genom att undersöka två imprints – Lovereads och HarperLove – och deras kurering av författarskap, deras marknadsföring och visuella profil, samt vad som kännetecknar deras relation med sina läsare.

Due to an increasing incidence rate, the need for new effective methods for diagnosing cancer are of high importance. Studies have shown that circulating tumor cells, CTCs, have great potential as a diagnostic biomarker. Acoustophoresis is a label free method, capable of separating CTCs from red blood cells in a blood sample. In theory, this would enable better CTC detection than the gold standard

This paper investigates the correlation between Sweden's municipal equalization system and economic growth and efficiency for the years 2005 to 2022. This paper uses panel data for all 290 municipalities and a fixed effects model to study the two main parts of Sweden's municipal equalization system: the income equalization system and the cost equalization system. This paper examines multip

Sedan införandet av lagen (2010:879) om allmännyttiga kommunala bostadsaktiebolag ska kommunala bolag drivas enligt affärsmässiga principer. Dessutom ändrades reglerna i jordabalken om jämförelse av skäliga hyror enligt bruksvärdessystemet genom att de allmännyttiga bostadsbolagen inte längre är ensamt hyresnormerande. Sedan dessa lagändringar har det inte funnits något regelverk om vad de årliga Since 2011 public municipal housing companies are to be operated according to commercial principles and the comparison of reasonable rents according to the utility value system is based on collective negotiated rents. Since these legal changes, there has been no regulatory framework for what the annual rent adjustments should be based on. Previously, the public housing companies' self-cost cal

This research analyzes expressions of neo-familism among young queer Chinese persons’ narrations of their family relationships. An inductive approach was adopted and a first-round life history interviewing combined with a second-round semi-structured interviewing was conducted to gather in-depth narratives from four key informants. The concepts of neo-familism, power, and agency were applied to an

Equal participation in safe and decent work is a crucial factor for achieving gender equality. Despite this, gender-based obstacles remain as workplaces often fail to ensure the human rights, health, and general wellbeing of their employees, with menstrual health being an especially neglected aspect of the gendered workplace experience. While menstrual health has gained increased attention over th

Jordgubbar som är odlade i Sverige är något som är väldigt eftertraktat under sommarhalvåret. Men det vi inte tänker på är att de ofta är besprutade med någon typ av växtskyddsmedel. Växtskyddsmedsmedel medför en negativ påverkan på pollinatörerna som är viktiga för att få en bra skörd och kvalité på bären. I denna studie undersöktes hur pollinatörer påverkas av växtskyddsmedel som används på de sThis study investigated how pollinators are affected by plant protection products (PPP), what type of PPPs strawberry farmers used and what knowledge they had about these products. To investigate this, a literature review and a survey was conducted. The questionnaire was sent to 70 Swedish strawberry farmers of which 11% participated in the study. The results of the survey shows that all (6) straw

In this thesis, two quantum dynamical system’s of one and two qubits coupled to a field mode confined in an optical cavity have been studied. Within the Jaynes- and Tavis- Cummings model, the dynamics of the corresponding light-matter interaction was defined in terms of the system’s coupling constants. From the setup of the system, the qubits flying through the cavity, the final state of the syste

Bakgrund: Psykisk ohälsa är vanligt förekommande, kan resultera i nedsatt funktionsförmåga och aktivitetsengagemang samt påverka vardagen negativt med minskad mening. I arbetet för att övervinna psykisk ohälsa kan en arbetsteraput ha en viktig roll genom att möjliggöra aktivitetsengagemang och därmed främja den personliga återhämtningen. Forskning tyder på att det behöver undersökas hur ett aktiviBackground: Mental illness is very common, can result in reduced functional capacity and occupational engagement and negatively affect everyday life with reduced meaning. In the work to overcome mental illness, an occupational therapist plays an important role by enabling occupational engagement and thereby promoting personal recovery. Research indicates that it is necessary to investigate how an

Svensk lagstiftning angående barn och ungdom har under de senaste decennierna varit föremål för ett omfattande reformarbete (Singer 2019: 21). Barn och unga saknar emellertid ofta kunskap om sina rättigheter, samt om hur dessa kan utkrävas. Att samhället har en god kännedom om den lagstiftning som angår barn och ungdom är därför av avgörande betydelse för att barnets rättigheter ska tillgodoses oc

Purpose and research question: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether an improved ESG performance leads to a lower cost of debt, proxied by the yield spread of newly issued corporate bonds and if this effect is more pronounced for firms operating in a stronger institutional environment. We therefore ask the following two research questions: Does a higher ESG score lead to a lower cost
