Power consumption has become a leading concern for SoC aimed at 5G products that demand increased functionality, smaller form factors, and low energy footprint. For some EMCA IP blocks a hierarchical clock gating mechanism ensures coarse-grained power savings based on actual processing need but for many blocks this approach cannot be employed. This implies that these blocks have to rely on a high

This project aims to design a radial inflow microturbine that will be part of a system to generate both heat and electricity. Considering the specific power and the mass flow rates involved with the system, a radial inflow turbine was chosen. This type of turbine provides much larger power density in a single stage compared to the other types.

Förändrat uttryck av den muterade immunförsvars-genen TLR2 kan bidra till ökad resistens mot borrelia – en studie på immunförsvaret hos vilda gnagare Skogssorkar (Myodes glareolus) och andra vilda gnagare utgör de huvudsakliga bärarna av bakterien Borrelia afzelii. Dessa bakterier kan orsaka sjukdomen borrelia och sprids vanligen från gnagare till andra däggdjur via fästingar. Trots att sorkarna

Facebook is one of the most powerful internet companies worldwide with little to few alternatives on the market. With the power and size, scandals are part of the company’s history, and the public perception is ever-changing. How Facebook is viewed by the public has an impact on the company’s success, especially since it is built on its users’ data. The public opinion can be impacted by how conver

This qualitative case-study highlights the importance of the phenomenon of migration, under the aspect of civic activism of migrants, and its impact on Italian agricultural sustainable development.

Gender-based violence (GBV) be it in peace or conflict settings is a persistent problem that has gained grounds and concerns for activists, women’s organisations, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in general and international bodies like the United Nations. Social inequalities and cultural ideologies inform GBV and other forms of violence that are amplified in war times. Women in war play differe

This thesis investigates how place can be understood through assemblage theory and what that implies for the understanding of human relation to place. The framework has been widely used outside and within human geography, at a few instances related to place. Exploring place as assemblage is done through a case study of S:t Pauli cemeteries in Malmö. Main methods are walk along interviews and obser

The sectarian civil war in Syria is one of the most entrenched civil wars in contemporary time and has proven hard to resolute, despite various attempts by international actors. A power-sharing system of consociationalism has often been proposed, given its ability to divide the power between sectarian groups and allocate stability within a political system. Through discourse analysis, this thesis

This thesis explores if, and how, what is written in the newspaper can be used to forecast macroeconomic variables such as inflation, unemployment and consumption.

Enligt art. 53(1)(b) EUTMR och art. 7 EUTMD utgör ond tro ett registreringshinder, samt en ogiltighetsgrund för varumärkesregistreringar. EU lagstiftare erbjuder inte en mer djupgående förklaring för vad ond tro inom varumärkesrätten innebär. Istället har uppgiften att definiera begreppet ’ond tro’ fallit på EUD, Tribunalen och EUIPOs administrativa nämnder. Föreliggande uppsats har undersökt hur According to art. 53(1)(b) EUTMR and art. 7 EUTMD, trade mark applications filed in bad faith are to be refused registration, or invalidated if already registered.
