Real-time rendering is increasingly being performed on battery powered devices, such as laptops and mobile phones. As a result, performance in rendering time is not the only important factor, but the energy consumption is also becoming more and more important, as a lower energy usage directly translates to longer battery time. The main topic of this thesis is energy consumption of graphics process

Testing ofIntegrated Circuits is important to ensure the production offault-free chips. However, testing is becoming cumbersome andexpensive due to the increasing complexity of these ICs. Technologydevelopment has made it possible to produce chips where a completesystem, with an enormous transistor count, operating at a highclock frequency, is placed on a single die - SOC (System-on-Chip).The devi
Activities with the aim to assess the effects of ISA on driver behaviour through experimental research were carried out. In order to investigate the regional differences in effects on driver behaviour when driving with ISA field trials were set up in Hungary and Spain. Complementary results were added from the Belgian ISA field trials. To investigate the effects on driver behaviour from different
With the exponential growth of the World Wide Web, automated subject classification has become a major research issue. Organizing web pages into a hierarchical structure for subject browsing has been gaining more recognition as an important tool in information-seeking processes.The most frequent approach to automated classification is machine learning. It, however, requires training documents and
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingens huvudfråga är hur språket används i skolämnet naturkunskap i två mångkulturella gymnasieklassrum. Språket ses som vår viktigaste resurs för utveckling och lärande i olika skolämnen. Att elever får rikliga tillfällen att lära sig hantera ämnesrelevant språk blir enligt ett sådant synsätt avgörande för vilket språk de utvecklar och vad de lär sig. SpråkutvecThe purpose of the thesis is to investigate how language is used in the school subject Natural Science in two multi-cultural upper seconday classrooms. Previous research points to the fact that second language students are not successful in their school work. The reason usually given is the students' inadequate knowledge of their second language. Today's curricular directives of the Swedish school
Att bli förälder är en stor livsomställning och föräldrars upplevelse av första tiden efter att barnet fötts påverkas bland annat av den information och förberedelse de får under graviditeten. Depression efter förlossningen drabbar cirka 10 % av alla föräldrar, något som även kan påverka anknytningen till barnet och därigenom barnets hälsa och utveckling. Tidigare forskning har visat att nyblivna Parents often feel inadequately prepared for challenges of early parenthood. This thesis aimed to develop an evidence-based programme for antenatal preparation for early parenthood and to test its feasibility. The Medical Research Council’s framework for development and evaluation of complex interventions was used to design the three studies.Interviews were conducted with first-time parents; 18 mo
Internet har bara de senaste årtiondena intagit en självklar roll i västvärldens vardag; genom denna kanal sker såväl social kommunikation och marknadsföring som affärstransaktioner och myndighetsutövning. Internets framväxt – och dess stigande antal användare – har givit upphov till nya behov av lagstiftning och normering; när den nya tekniken, vilken utvecklas och breddas för var dag som går, möFor the last decades, the Internet has become a natural factor in the every day life of citizens of the West; through this channel of communication, social media and advertising, as well as business transactions and exercising of authority is carried out on a daily basis. The development of the Internet – and its many users – have given rise to new needs for legislation and standards; when technol
Background: Physical inactivity is a worldwide public health issue and the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality. As a measure of prevention or treatment several countries have developed concepts of physical activity on prescription (PAP) to tackle the common issue of sedentary behavior and thereby decrease the risk of chronic illness and premature death. The Swedish model of PAP, “Fysis
Agile Management is a management method based on the principles behind Agile Software Development. Compared to Traditional Management, Agile Management is more iterative and is therefore suited for fast paced and unsecure environ-‐ ments. Even though agile is a fairly old methodology; there are few case studies outside the software industry. There are indi-‐ cations, though, that Agile Managemen
Being stateless, roughly means being without a citizenship of any nation. This is the definition of being stateless in legal terms, called de jure statelessness. There is also statelessness that entails being without the efficient protection of one’s nation, called de facto statelessness. Two groups of stateless migrants that correspond to these definitions are Bidoons from Kuwait and Palestinians

Plaster som används för dagligt bruk består till stor del av fossila ämnen. Med ökad efterfrågan och produktion för varje år, är en hållbar utveckling för plaster en växande utmaning. Ett av de stora problemen är förbrukningen av de icke förnyelsebara fossila källorna, vilket medför att förr eller senare behövs alternativ till de konventionella plasterna. Med detta problem i åtanke, så fokuserar dPlastics for everyday use are made from fossile resources. With the demand for plastics increasing every year, a sustainable development for plastic products is a growing challenge. A major issue is the depletion of the non-renewable fossile resources, which means that sooner or later alternatives to the conventional plastics are needed. With this problem in mind, this work focuses on the developm

The thesis intends to support decision making in the transport- and construction industry. Design/methodology/approa
Vid utformandet av en konstitution ställs alltid frågan om vilket förhållande som bör råda mellan politik och juridik. Det är upp till varje rättssystem att reglera vilket inflytande domstolen ska ha på utformningen av lagstiftningen. När det kommer till lagstiftning kan förhållandet mellan judiciell aktivism från domstolens sida och demokrati beskrivas som en dikotomi där två vitt skilda metoder When drafting a Constitution, the relationship between politics and law must always be determined. It is up to each legal system to regulate what influence the court should have on the formulation of legislation. When it comes to legislation, the relationship between judicial activism and democracy, can be described as a dichotomy in which two widely different methods stand for different ideals. T
Outside the box. On archivists' views on objects in municipal archives Historically objects in archives and objects as "documents" have been discussed for a long time. The focus of the discussion has generally been on defining what is a document, and what is not, and later what is in turn an act and thus belongs in the archive, and what does not. An object is generally not defined a
Livsmedelsindustrin i Sverige står för ungefär 20–25 % av den totala klimatpåverkan och 50 % av den totala övergödningen i landet. Ett sätt att minska påverkan är att minska mängden matsvinn som uppkommer längs med livsmedelskedjan. Matsvinnet kan variera mellan 10–50% beroende på förloppet i kedjan och typ av livsmedel. Genom globala och nationella mål har problemet med matsvinn fått allt större The food industry in Sweden stands for approximately 20-25% of the greenhouse gas emissions and 50% of the total eutrophication in the country. One way to reduce the impact is to reduce the amount of food waste that occurs along the food chain. Food waste can vary between 10-50% depending on the course of the chain and the type of food. Through global and national goals, the problem of food waste
Denna uppsats undersöker fem centrala aktörer kring händelserna mellan statskupp och antagandet av en ny regeringsform i Sverige 1809. I traditionell historieskrivning, främst förespråkad av Fredrik Lagerroth, har dessa händelser beskrivits som en revolution. Syftet med denna uppsats relaterar till forskningsproblemet och motsatsförhållandet mellan Sveriges ”revolution” 1809 och andra revolutionerThis study examines five key actors in the events between the coup and the adoption of a new constitution in Sweden in 1809. In traditional historiography, mainly advocated by Fredrik Lagerroth, these events has been described as a revolution. The purpose of this study relates to the research problem and understanding of Sweden's "revolution" in 1809 and other revolutions such as the
Den rättsliga hanteringen av sexualbrott mot barn skiljer sig från den mot vuxna. Hanteringen är särskilt komplicerad vid behandling av sexualbrott mot barn eftersom barn generellt inte kan lämna detaljrika och långa uppgifter vid muntliga utsagor. Detta beror på att deras minneskapacitet, ordförråd och kunskap är begränsad. De kan inte uttrycka sina upplevelser, vilket utgör en svårighet för domsThe legal treatment of sexual offenses against children differs from that against adults. It is particularly complicated in the treatment of sexual offenses against children, as children are generally unable to provide detailed and lengthy information in oral statements. This is because their memory capacity, vocabulary and knowledge are limited. Children experience difficulties in expressing thei
