Abstract Metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) capacitor was fabricated on the InGaAs substrate with Al2O3/HfO2 gate oxide. InGaAs is one of the promising candidates for advanced applications which require the lower power supply and high frequency. The high-k films (Al2O3/HfO2) were formed by atomic layer deposition (ALD) as an alternative to silicon dioxide (SiO2) to proceed the scaling of oxide to low
The aim of our study was to examine the relationship between creativity and wellbeing. The material for our study has been gathered through a questionnaire with self-assessment at one of Scandinavia's largest companies in the hotel industry. The questionnaire consisted of The organisational questionnaire (GEFA) and The measurement of wellbeing. In the study 90 questionnaires was distributed in
This thesis explores the possibilities of integrating semantic transport information in the context of 3D-city modelling by implementing transport surfaces according to standards defined by the 3CIM specification, an extension of CityGML. This approach aims to automatically generate transport surfaces in LOD1 and LOD2, based on the Stockholm city basemap in combination with road geometries that re
Saccharomyces cerevisiae has emerged as a versatile platform for whole-cell biocatalysis, owing to its intrinsic regeneration of cofactors and amenability to genetic engineering. However, efficient reductive amination of aromatic carbonyls remains challenging due to competing redox pathways and product inhibition by pyruvate. Building on the redox-rewired TMB4133 strain (∆gpd1,2) that accumulates
Pollinators are essential for biodiversity and ecosystem services but face growing threats from climate change. Microclimates may buffer these impacts by providing localized climatic refugia. I assessed community-level and body size-dependent responses of bees, butterflies, and hoverflies to microclimatic temperature, humidity, wind, and structural shelter in semi-natural grasslands in southern Sw
This master’s thesis maps and compares local literary networks within UNESCO’s Cities of Literature, with the aim of understanding how such networks are structured, what their functions are and how they are controlled and developed. Drawing on concepts from social network analysis and Bourdieu’s theories of social fields, capital and habitus, the study combines quantitative and qualitative methods
As Climate Change increases the frequency and severity of wildfires in British Columbia, communities at the Wildland Urban Interface face escalating risks. This thesis explores the challenges and opportunities of community engagement in wildfire management in the city of Kamloops, one of the most fire-prone urban areas in British Columbia. Employing a single-case study design, the research is base
Thioflavin T (ThT) is widely used as a fluorescent probe for amyloid fibrils, yet its fluorescence can also be enhanced in non-fibrillar systems. Here, the photophysical behaviour of ThT was investigated in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), sucrose laurate (SL), sodium caprate (C10), and lanreotide-containing assemblies across acetate (pH 4.0), phosphate (pH 7.4), and Gly-Gly (pH 8.5) buffers using UV
Background: Hypertension and smoking are well-known risk factors for aortic dissection (AD), but it is unclear whether other lifestyle factors influence the risk. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between diet quality, physical activity, and risk of AD. Methods: The study included 28,094 participants from the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study, recruited between 1991 and 1996 and f
Introduction: This study focuses on the quantitative analysis of minerals in gummy supplements Background: The content of minerals in gummy supplements can be challenging to measure due to the complex organic matrix that includes, among other ingredients, sugar, glucose syrup, and pectin. Aim(s): The aim of this research project was to validate a method for quantifying Zn, Mg, and Fe in gummy sup
Bakgrund: God balans kräver ett samarbete mellan flera av kroppens olika sinnen och strategier. En nedsättning i något av dessa sinnen eller en oförmåga att använda dessa strategier ökar risken för fallolyckor, som leder till stort personligt lidande för individen och stora kostnader för samhället. Fallpreventivt arbete krävs för att förhindra fallolyckor. För att detta ska förbättras behövs en ök
Balans och psykologisk tilltro till fotledsfunktion vid idrottsutövande hos kvinnliga handbollsspelare efter en fotledsstukning Bakgrund: Handboll är en intensiv idrott och kännetecknas av ett stort antal högintensiva moment såsom hopp, tempoväxlingar, riktningsförändringar, dueller och kontaktsituationer. Handboll var en av de mest skadedrabbade sporterna under OS i London 2012 och under VM i Q
Prior to the accomplishment of this research, the compatibility of the classic e-servicescape conceptual model in the context Taobao and TMall in China were rarely found among existing e-servicescape literatures due to the standardization taken by both online platforms towards the establishment of individual webshops. Meanwhile, the conceptualization of social factors as social dimension of e-serv
Reaching the targets of the Paris Agreement requires acceleration of low-carbon energy transitions. At the same time, it is not fully understood why some technologies spread more rapidly and widely than others. This thesis advances our understanding of the diffusion of large-scale low-carbon technologies by bridging technology diffusion studies and political economy of transitions. Through combini
Facing the urgency to tackle societal challenges, social innovations come to the fore as promising avenues due to their potential of invoking change of systems. Scholars refer to transformative social innovations in this respect: processes through which dominant institutions within a socio-material context are challenged, altered, or replaced by social innovations. Alas, turning the transformative
