In many IBA applications the main aim is to obtain quantitative figures characterizing the sample. Normally charge, i.e. number of probe particles, is used for normalization and is measured either by collecting the charge deposited in the sample or by collecting the particle in a post-sample Faraday cup or in combination. Both these techniques have drawbacks and results can be difficult to compare
Z39.50 is a standard protocol designed to create an interface between diverse computer databases for diverse information needs. Since it has to be adjustable it is also complex and demands a certain degree of expertise when being set. However, the aim of this paper is not to make a theoretical description but to examine certain conditions in practice. From the perspective of Swedish research libra
The objective of this essay is to map the possible future scenarios of energy relations between the European Union (EU), the world’s biggest energy market, and Russia, the world’s largest producer. The security of energy supply is essential to the functioning of the EU. Energy security, therefore, is a highly politicized subject that has divided European capitals for decades and will, ceteris pari
The purpose of this thesis is to find out to what extent Sweden’s new liberal approach towards labour migration is a case of Europeanization. The intention is also to illustrate the gradual Europeanization in the area of labour migration and discuss the new paradigm shift in favour of labour migration. Managed migration is the new ‘catch word’ where the focus primarily is on skilled labour. A top-
The quality inspection of wooden boards is experiencing a large change. By the use of camera and laser technology board characteristics and defects can be instantly identified and measured. This thesis investigates how the information from a quality inspection system can be used to classify boards into different quality classes, by the use of statistical classification models. Two types of classif
I Sverige har vi idag en civilrättslig diskrimineringslag (2008:567) som täcker en rad samhällsområden och sju olika diskrimineringsgrunder. Denna lag är resultatet av att en samling lagar mot diskriminering som kom till runt millennieskiftet slogs samman och delvis förändrades. Lagen innehåller diskrimineringsförbud och aktiva åtgärder och dess syfte är att ”motverka diskriminering och på andra sSweden currently has a civil law against discrimination (2008:567) that covers several aspects of society and seven different grounds for discrimination. This law is the product of the consolidation – and to some extent modification – of a number of laws primarily passed between 1999 and 2006. The law contains prohibitions against discrimination and proscribes certain active measures to foster equ
Following the introduction of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) by the European Commission, the complexity of sustainability reporting increased significantly concerning a vast number of companies. The lack of consideration in the literature on the implications it will have on the business strategy can create negative perceptions of the directive’s integration process for the
In this report we investigate parallel execution of queries in graph databases. We analyse different methods of parallelization, how to introduce query parallelization to a graph database, which query operations that are suitable for parallelization and if we can improve the execution time of a single query. We do this by designing and implementing a parallel runtime for the Cypher query language
More than 17.9 million new patients worldwide suffer from heart diseases. In order to conduct a proper diagnosis and treatment, it is necessary to develop a functionality for patients and doctors, which has the possibility to transfer the continuously measured data to the doctor for several days. In addition, such a tool should have the function to wirelessly transmit an alarm to the doctors, prov
After the dust had settled from the second world war, western Europe experienced increased levels of material wellbeing. Education, income, and security were on the rise. This led to a wave of new values of self-expression and a shift away from security, economic and class based political conflict. As this also coincided with a rise of mass communications and increased education more people than e

Extracting complementary features in parallel pathways is a widely used strategy for a robust representation of sensory signals. Weakly electric fish offer the rare opportunity to study complementary encoding of social signals in all of its electrosensory pathways. Electrosensory information is conveyed in three parallel pathways: two receptor types of the tuberous (active) system and one receptor
This essay examines the implicit relationship between political science and rare events, or so called Black Swans. The purpose is to analyze Black Swan weakness by evaluating the nature of political analysis and political theories. The key to this assessment is the analysis of the predictive powers of political analysis and theories. This essay claims, on the basis of Karl Poppers historicism crit
Through discourse analysis I investigate how the Swedish liberal party, Folkpartiet, constructs two opposing identities in their discourse of alienation (in Swedish utanförskap). I draw from Torben Bech Dyrbergs theory on how identities are constructed through the logics of difference and equivalence (1997). Laclau and Mouffe are the main inspirations for analyzing the organization of the discours
