In a small and confined one dimensional geometry of nanowire, even few defects can influence the performance of the devices. Main objective of this thesis is to conduct photoluminescence study of such defect states in GaAs nanowires, which we will first introduce by diffusing copper impurity atoms, in very low concentrations. In low concentrations, ideally single atom in a wire, the photoluminesc
Education is commonly agreed upon as being one of the main drivers of national economic development which has led to a greater incorporation of education policies in development projects. Internationally, the World Bank is the single largest provider of expertise knowledge and financial aid to education development and as such they can play a key role in shaping policies and how problems are under
Byggprocessen har en omfattande roll i det infrastrukturella bygget och utgör grunden till en byggnation. Man kan uttrycka byggprocessen som en helhetsbild av hur uppförandet av en byggnad/anläggning går till. Många olika aktörer är involverade i denna process. Byggprocessen innefattar allt från inventeringar, behovsutredningar, gestaltningar till tekniska lösningar, produktion och förvaltning. ÄvThe construction process has a profound role withing the infrastructure, and lais the foundation for the construction itself. It can be described as layout of how the construction will be managed, provided for and organized. Therefore, this process involves several actors. The construction process involves activities such as inventory, needs investigations, designs for technical solutions, product
Det finns många olika utformningar av lyfthjälpmedel och hjälpmedel för att gå, så som patient lyftar och rullatorer, men det finns inte många lösningar som kan göra båda. Detta examensarbete är baserat på en person med fysisk funktionsnedsättning som har specifika behov för vilka det inte fanns någon anpassad lösning. Målet var att utveckla en produkt som kan lyfta användaren från sittandes till There exist many different designs of lifting aids and walking aids, but barely any solutions that can do both. This thesis is based on a person with mobility impairment with specific needs for which there were yet no adapted solution. The goal was to design a product that can lift the user from sitting to standing position and then be a walking aid by supporting the user by the armpits, all this
This bachelor thesis is based on a fear of a growing consumption behavior where short lived life cycles of products are causing negative affects on our attempts of building long and healthy relationships to products. The work is also based on a hope of designing products that people are able to appreciate over long period of time. What is it that makes people value and appreciate desig
Abstract Tunnels are one of the most complex and delicate elements of the road system. Assessing fire behaviour and fire severity remains the biggest source of uncertainty in risk assessment and is an essential step in the tunnel design process. This study focuses on investigating the reliability and accuracy of different available tools to describe tunnel fire dynamics, with a focus on assessing
Policy on Planning for Children and Youth in urbanization environment. Enriching Urban Cityscape for Children and Youth through Scandinavian (Swedish and Danish) child methodology on the old European planning model. In this model, traffic management has the most potential in planning. For the study Dhanmondi, the site planned during the British Empire, was chosen within the capital city Dhaka, Ban
Our study explored the use of non-financial measurements in financial services industries in Sweden, Romania and Ukraine. The countries were selected on grounds of the authors' nationality and the masters program. The analysis was focused on the use in practice of the latest theoretical developments, the non-financial indicators link with the banks’ strategies and the financial measurements an
Cultural heritage plays an important part in society since it shapes our perception of both the past and the present. As such, cultural heritage is here seen as an ideology. Religion, an important part of society as well, can also be regarded as an ideology. But what happens when these ideologies come together? The aim of this Master's thesis is to expose the underlying ideologies that govern
Climate change and the associated temperature increments are a reality, with temperature already rising in the last century. With a changing climate dissolved oxygen levels in the water will also suffer changes. The combination of changes due to alterations in the climate affects fish stocks, through alterations in the spawning-stock biomass. One of the fish stocks that are being affected is the A
Accurate atomic data are essential for opacity calculations and for abundance analyses of the Sun and other stars. The aim of this work is to provide accurate and extensive results of energy levels and transition data for C i–iv. The Multiconfiguration Dirac–Hartree–Fock and relativistic configuration interaction methods were used in this work. To improve the quality of the wavefunctions and reduc
Personal data is found at the core of the digital economy, and from a consumer perspective it is increasingly difficult to assess when it's collected, how it is utilised or traded and by what third parties it is handled over time. As Rhoen (2016) argues, a broader application of consumer protection regulation to user agreements may increase accountability for operators who collect and manage perso
Some network cameras have already several other sensors besides the image sensor to extend the capabilities of the camera. It is then only natural to think what can be achieved when air sensors are added into the mix. In this master thesis the applications of air sensors coupled together with network cameras have been investigated. Considering the network infrastructure is already in place, having
There have been many calls for higher education to facilitate a transition towards sustainability, in particular, with a social change dimension. Literature exists on the different learning outcomes and competencies expected of students in this process, but not much is written about learning approaches used within curriculums that can enable social change. This thesis aims to address this issue by
Millimeter-wave radar imaging has potential uses in applications such as material analysis and medical in-vivo scanning of tissue. This thesis is about measuring objects using a millimeter wave radar, implement radar imaging algorithms and evaluate the resulting images. The measured objects are plates and rods made of metal and a rod made of acrylic glass (PMMA). The objects are measured using the
Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur olika energieffektiva renoveringsåtgärder kan påverka energiprestandan i äldre småhus. Studien omfattar en genomgång av tidigare forskning och en fallstudie av ett småhus byggt 1919, och undersöker effekten av tekniska åtgärder och olika användarbeteenden på energiprestanda. Fallstudien genomfördes med hjälp av simuleringsprogrammet IDA ICE. Det innebarThe purpose of this study is to investigate how different energy-efficient renovation measures may affect the energy performance of older detached houses. The study involves a review of previous research and a case study of one detached house built in 1919, and investigates the impact of technical measures and different user behaviors on energy performance. The case study was conducted by using th
The purpose in this thesis is to explore the underlying conceptions concerning europeanization and public administration that Statskontoret is expressing in its publications. Statskontoret is an agency in the service of the Swedish State which provides the Government and the Ministries with investigations and surveys. The methodological choice in this thesis is to perform an idea analysis cont
