Metasurfaces are two-dimensional arrays of sub-wavelength structures often arranged in a periodic lattice. During recent years, metasurfaces have emerged as one of the most promising platforms to shape electromagnetic waves using compact devices, exhibiting extraordinary control over the light amplitude, polarization and phase. Starting with metallic materials, metasurface research has shifted tow

År 2022 genomfördes en omfattande reform av den svenska arbetsrätten, med fokus på bland annat att modernisera lag (1982:80) om anställningsskydd (LAS). Reformen utgick från januariavtalet 2019 där regeringen åtog sig att lägga fram lagstiftningsförslag som stämde överens med en eventuell partsöverenskommelse framtagen av arbetsmarknadens parter vilket resulterade i ett nytt Huvudavtal som blev grIn 2022, a major reform of Swedish labour law was implemented, with one of its key objectives being the modernisation of the Employment Protection Act (LAS). The reform originated from the 2019 January Agreement and granted certain labour market organisations an active and norm-setting role in the drafting of legislative proposals. The government committed to presenting legislative initiatives in

This thesis analyzes how mindfulness is translated into a business concept for the organizational realm in Bogotá, Colombia. How does an originally “mystic”, eastern esoteric concept like mindfulness manage to travel into and adapt to a material Western setting, specifically Bogotá? Previous research on mindfulness in businesses often analyzes it as an accepted tool for executives and organization

Abstract Authors: Alexandra Jönsson & Emmeli Trobäck Title: We never force a child [translated title] Supervisor: Claes Levin Assessor: Kristina Göransson Our purpose with this paper was to try to get a better understanding of how a social worker acts and thinks in their assessments. Especially in the interaction between a foster child and the biological parents along with what role the child

Insulin Dependant Diabetes Mellitus(IDDM) is a chronic disease characterized by the inability of the pancreas to produce sufficient amounts of insulin. To cover the deficiency 4-6 insulin injections have to be taken daily. The aim of this insulin therapy is to maintain normoglycemia, blood glucose level between 4-7 mmol/L. To determine the amount and timing of these injections different approaches

People’s eating habits and how we use the kitchen today has changed extensively over the last few decades. New ways of living and cooking generates a need of rethinking the kitchen and the appliances to better fit the demands and desires of modern living. This concept helps the user include the dishes as an easier part of cooking, and an encouragement to rediscover the health and pleasure of provi

Multivariat mönsteranalys (MVPA) är en maskininlärningsmetod som de senaste 15 åren använts inom hjärnavbildningsstudier för att avkoda och klassificera neurala representationer som uppstår vid kognitiv bearbetning hos försöksdeltagare då de utsätts för olika slags stimuli. Syftet med denna undersökning har varit att med hjälp av klassificerare avkoda den elektroencefalografiska hjärnaktivitet som

Insiderhandel, som är en kriminaliserad gärning i Sverige, innebär förenklat att en person med insiderinformation, alltså information som inte är offentliggjord eller allmänt känd, använder informationen för att göra en vinst eller undvika en förlust vid en transaktion av ett finansiellt instrument på värdepappersmarknaden. För att en kriminalisering av en viss handling ska anses berättigad, alltsInsider trading, which constitutes a crime in Sweden, refers to the act where a person with inside information, ergo non-public information, utilizes that information for making a profit or avoiding a loss in a transaction of a financial instrument on the stock market. For a criminalization of a certain act to be justified, in other words respecting the rule of law, primarily four principles of cr

Det här examensarbetet undersöker hur stor yta av Lunds tätort man kan frigöra från parkeringsplatser i tre olika framtida scenarier. Dessa scenarier utspelar sig ungefär år 2040 och handlar om tre varianter av bilpoolslösningar. Bilen tar fysiskt upp mycket yta i staden. Detta har bl.a. undersökts i tidigare examensarbeten, men med fokus på utvecklingen av andelen tätortsyta som låses av trafiklöThis master thesis examines how much of the urban area of the city of Lund, could be released from parking space in different future scenarios. These scenarios are based on three different options of car sharing and unfold around year 2040. Historically city planning has had various influences from different centuries with both economic and military ideals. But the 20th century and the introducti

Förtillverkade betongkonstruktioner har inte någon naturlig sammanhållning av stommen, som i en platsgjuten konstruktion, vilket medför stora krav på de mekaniska kopplingarna mellan de prefabricerade betongelementen avseende bärförmåga och deformationskapacitet. Dagens mekaniska kopplingar utgörs ofta av ingjutna raka kamstänger och har därför en begränsad deformationskapacitet vilket medför att Precast concrete structures has no natural coherence of the frame as when the structure is cast in situ, which puts great demands on the ties between the prefabricated concrete elements regarding the resistance and deformation capacity. The ties that are used today often consist of straight ribbed bars embedded in concrete and therefore have limited deformation capacity. This means that the opport

This papers aims at analysing Chinese suppliers’ expectations of interfirm relationship when Western companies offshore their production to China. The research is motivated by the underrepresentation of the Chinese suppliers’ perspective in the literature and the undisputed role of China as the second most popular destination for offshoring. The literature finds that a successful relationship betw

During the last decade, upconverting nanoparticles (UCNPs) doped with rare-earth (RE) ions have been extensively studied in the field of biophotonics. Due to their unique properties of anti- Stokes shifted luminescence and with excitation and emission wavelengths optimal for biomedical imaging, they have become an interesting class of fluorescent contrast agents. An issue with downconverting fluor

Kan vetekli bidra till en hållbarare värld? Med ökad medvetenhet om vikten av ett hållbart samhälle ställs hårdare krav på företag att minska, och helst sluta, använda oljebaserade produkter. Nanocellulosa har visat sig vara ett bra alternativ till oljebaserade produkter i blandningar med andra material. Nanocellulosa har t.ex. börjat användas i skönhetsprodukter då det är ett naturmaterial som haNanocellulose is being studied to a great extent around the world as it has great potential and many possible applications, for example, as an additive in greener polymers in a world where the need for replacements for fossil fuel based polymers increase. Different sources of cellulose are being considered for the production of nanocellulose as this can add value to what otherwise often is a by-pr

ABSTRACT This bachelor thesis investigates whether there are any correlation between the political orientation of the incumbent party of a country and the performance of the stock market, i.e. will the stock market behave bullish or bearish depending on whether the political party is located on the right-wing or the left-wing? The study is performed with multiple linear regressions of 13 OECD coun

The aim of the study is to find a relation between the tip pressure produced by ram sounding and CPT in order to improve the possibilities of determining the shear strength of clay till. CPT is a pressure probe and mainly used to get a good picture of the statigraphy and the soil condition. CPT has shown to be useful regarding the evaluation of key parameters such as shear strengh and angle of fri

Den farliga bakterien som förorenar vår mat och gör oss sjuka Listeria monocytogenes, även vardagligt kallad endast listeria, är en bakterie som trivs och växer i miljöer där många andra bakterier inte kan växa. Listeria orsakar sjukdomen listerios, som är ganska ovanlig, men har en dödlighet på ca 20 – 30 %. Sjukdomen har på senare år blivit allt mer vanlig i Sverige. Som tur är finns det olika In this study the dangers of Listeria monocytogenes presence in food and the problem it creates for general food safety is presented. The aim of this study was to highlight the importance of food safety, especially when it concerns Listeria monocytogenes. The study should also give an insight to the part that Listeria monocytogenes plays among food and the risks that follows. Furthermore, it wil
