The purpose of this paper is to analyse the phenomenon of country branch’s communication alignment between the corporate and country-specifics, based on the example of the German development organisation GIZ and its country branch GIZ Pakistan. This includes how the communication strategy and concepts are aligned and how the alignment is negotiated and decided. The analysis is guided by the interp
An investigation into the use of statistical texture analysis in combination with ultra high-frequency ultrasound for diagnosing Hirschsprung’s disease (HD); An illness that manifests itself through the absence of ganglia cells in lower parts of the intestine. Current diagnostic techniques carry a higher risk of long-term consequences in newborns and children which enables a new avenue of research
In this thesis the WKB-approximation is used to simulate the tunneling current for an Esaki nanowire diode and the result is compared to data from Esaki nanowire diodes grown with MOVPE. The WKB-approximation with triangular potential barrier predicts a strong increase of the tunneling current as a function of the doping densities and at the highest doping levels it gives lower tunneling distances
This thesis examines a local low-carbon energy transition in an urban context with regard to energy justice. It takes the Vauban district in Freiburg (Germany) as a case study which has been described as a successful case of energy transition and a model for sustainable urban development. From a theoretical point of view, energy justice encompasses a fair distribution of costs and benefits of an e
Tidigare studier indikerar att ooider har förutsättningar att användas som naturliga arkiv för att undersöka variationer i oceankemin samt klimatförändringar som sträcker sig hundratals år tillbaks. Ooider är sfäriska eller ellipsoidformade karbonatkorn med en medelstorlek mellan 0.25 och 2 millimeter. Ooidens struktur kan variera, men gemensamt för dem är att de utgörs av en kärna som kan vara en

The observed and expected changes in the environment due to human actions implies risks that future food production will be insufficient. Pre- dicting the impact these changes have on the agricultural system could be beneficial by allowing for proactive mitigating efforts. The prediction of these impacts often involve large computer programs that simulate the behavior of the environment. By implem
Accurate quantitative protein analysis is crucial to identify proteins that are differentially abundant between samples, to provide clues about disease mechanisms or act as biomarkers. However, in most workflows, proteins are digested to peptides, and the resulting peptides are quantified as proxies for proteins. No consensus method for going from peptide to protein level quantification exist, and
Syftet med denna uppsats är att se huruvida de svenska bestämmelserna rörande lagöverträdare under 15 år stämmer överens med Europakonventionen och Barnkonventionen. Konventionerna är ratificerade och Sverige är således förpliktade att följa dess bestämmelser. Europakonventionen har en starkare ställning än Barnkonventionen eftersom den är del av svensk lag. Europakonventionen innehåller, till skiThe purpose of this essay is to compare the Swedish regulation regarding offenders under the legal age of criminal responsibility, with the European Convention on Human Rights, ECHR, and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, UNCRC. Sweden has ratified the conventions which makes Sweden obliged to follow their regulations. The ECHR is part of Swedish legislation, but the UNCRC i
Under 2016 antogs företaghemlighetsdirektivet i EU, för att harmonisera skyddet för företagshemligheter inom unionen. Den här uppsatsen behandlar företagshemlighetsdirektivet och de förändringar som dess implementering medför för svensk rätt, i synnerhet direktivets bestämmelser om ”intrångsgörande varor”. Den svenska lagen (1990:409) om skydd för företagshemligheter (FHL) är en konkurrensrättslDuring 2016 the EU adopted the Trade Secrets Directive, in order to harmonize the protection of trade secrets within the union. This essay examines the Trade Secrets Directive and the changes its implementation entails for the Swedish legal system, in particular the directive’s regulations regarding “infringing goods”. The Swedish law for the protection of trade secrets (“lagen (1990:409) om sky
I svensk rätt finns det ett begränsat ansvar för underlåtenhet att förhindra andra personers brottsliga gärningar. Den 1 juli 2016 infördes ett nytt stycke i Brottsbalken, 23 kap. 6§ 2st. Lagen infördes för att kunna hålla ledare inom kriminella sammanslutningar ansvariga för brott som begås med deras vetskap inom sammanslutningen. Remissinstanserna till lagförslaget uttryckte kritik mot kriminaliIn the Swedish legal system there is limited responsibility for failure to hinder other people´s criminal acts. As of July 1st of 2016 there is a new paragraph in the 6th section of the 23rd chapter of the Swedish Penal Code. It was introduced in order to be able to keep leaders of organized crime responsible for the crimes that are, with them knowing, taking place within the organization. During
Denna uppsats utforskar hur resning i brottmål till förmån för den tilltalade fungerar som funktion i Sverige och Norge. Den syftar vidare till att, med en komparativ metod, utreda funktionerna i respektive land och analysera vad Sverige kan lära sig utifrån de skillnader som finns i Norge. I ett uppmärksammat mål i Sverige förra året blev en person beviljad resning efter tredje försöket för attThis thesis explores how criminal cases can, in the light of new evidence, be reviewed in benefit of convicted defendants in both Sweden and Norway. The purpose is to describe the functionality of reviews in both countries, to compare the two and to analyze what Sweden can learn from the differences presented in Norway. In a prominent case last year in Sweden, a person was granted review after hi
The thesis is to develop a 3D printer that easily and conveniently can print with recycled plastic such as PET bottles, plastic packaging and much more. The printer will be designed according to the needs of a developing country. The idea is not to create an additive manufacturing factory but an effective manufacturing tool for the locals in the less developed parts of the country. The printer can
As digital cameras become cheaper and better, computers more powerful, and robots more abundant the merging of these three techniques also becomes more common and capable. The combination of these techniques is often inspired by the human visual system and often strives to give machines the same capabilities that humans already have, such as object identification, navigation, limb coordination, an

The goal of this Master’s Thesis is to investigate the implementation of cryptographic algorithms for IoT and how these encryption systems can be integrated in a NarrowBand IoT platform. Following 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) specifications, the Evolved Packet System (EPS) Encryption Algorithms (EEA) and EPS Integrity Algorithms (EIA) have been implemented and tested. The latter are b
Co-simulation is widely used in industry for the simulation of multi-domain linear-time-invariant systems. However, as a result of the not continuous communication between our coupling variables, simulation results end up being unstable and inaccurate. Among the different strategies that have been developed in the recent years to control co-simulation drawbacks, the aim of this thesis is to unders
Introduction: Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is a powerful tool when used in metabolomics, the study of small molecules in the body, and investigating new modes of using it might lead to even better tools for diagnostics and research. Background: Chemical ionization (CI) for GC-tandem MS (GC-MS/MS) is relatively rarely used compared to the more commonplace electron ionization (EI).
This thesis examines the theory of headwinds by Robert J Gordon related to Sweden’s economic growth since the 1970s. The specific questions asked are how the two headwinds of income inequality and educational attainment in the USA can be related to a Swedish context. Gordon’s theory is part of a debate on secular stagnation. This thesis aims to broaden that debate by applying one theory of secular
