Abstract This work is one of a series of related papers that were made in Lund University. They were done to analyze in a multi scalar way the Yttrium Orthosilicate crystals (YSO), analyzing the variation of material properties stemmed from the mounting, composition and other parameters in the optical properties of Yttrium Orthosilicate crystals. This paper specifically focused on investigating th

Nya studier visar på en ökad skuldsättning hos unga vuxna, framför allt unga kvinnor. Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka sambandet mellan psykisk ohälsa, upplevd ensamhet, privatekonomisk situation, konsumtionsbeteende och användandet av sociala medier samt hur dessa skiljer sig i en köns- och generationskontext, men även hur interaktionen mellan dessa variabler ser ut. Detta utefterRecent studies show an increase in debt among young adults, especially young women. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between mental health, perceived loneliness, personal financial situation, consumer behavior, the use of social media and how these differ in a gender and generational context. A further aim was to study the interaction between these variables, based on prev

Aberrations to the wavefront of a laser beam reduce the quality of the focal spot and are generally undesired. This project is aimed at determining the aberrations of laser beams by using a phase retrieval algorithm and to show that it is possible to correct the aberrations with a spatial light modulator to optimize the focal spot. In particular, a two-dimensional phase pattern is retrieved and de

Research Purpose & Aim: The purpose of this thesis is to shed light on how individual marketing- & brand-managers conceptualise and approach brand positioning. This study aims to vertically deepen the current knowledge of brand positioning in practice as well as horizontally broaden the literature by taking a unique managerial perceptual perspective.

I det här examensarbetet undersökte jag hur mångsidigt användbara bostäder kan utformas i ett förtätningsprojekt av ett befintligt miljonprogramsområde i Malmö. För att förhindra en onödig utbredning av staden är det tänkt att Malmö framförallt ska förtätas och därmed ska växa inåt, när behovet av nya bostäder ökar. Många av de bostäder som byggs idag saknar kvaliteter som gör dem mångsidigt använIn this thesis I investigated how to design adaptable residences for a broader user group, in an existing residential area in Malmö built in the 70ties. To prevent an unnecessary expansion of the city, Malmö should grow inwards as the need for new housing increases. Many apartments built today often lack qualities that makes them adaptable for changing needs over time. They tend to fit certain use

Saturated laser-induced fluorescence (saturated LIF) has been the topic of some research, however mainly regarding laser diagnostic methods conducted on flames. A few papers have discussed saturated LIF with the purpose of producing saturation curves of different fluorescent elements. The utilised methods in these cases have involved manually increasing the laser intensity and detecting the fluore

In the age where entertainment is the driving force behind the functioning of large industries, companies like SONY have figured out a way to market their entertainment content including movies, music, and games using large-scale interactive marketing and promotional content. Building and testing such content before it is released on large and complex devices is a continuously challenging task and

Non-state armed groups in Mali have recruited female child soldiers for the past 12 years in its Central and Northern regions. Some of these now-former female child soldiers (FFCS) have given birth to children of these combatants, so-called “Children Born of War” (CBOW). Both mothers and their children may experience sexual (ex. gender-based violence) and violence-related (ex. fear) stigmas in the

A family’s involvement and ownership of a firm separates family firms from both public companies and other private firms. It is widely accepted that family firms have unique characteristics, with implications for their behavior and an impact on their internationalization. Extant research presents a need for studies on the heterogeneity observed in family firm internationalization, and has presente

Flooding in oil palm plantations in Southeast Asia is a common problem. The oil palm’s habitable range is restricted to lowland equatorial areas, and the high rainfall and degraded landscapes associated with oil palm cultivation leaves oil palm prone to flooding. Flooding diminishes yields in mature palms, increases mortality in young palms, and disrupts operational processes. This reduces the ec

Thesis Purpose: This thesis aims to understand how a multitier private label portfolio is linked to the retailer brand image from a consumer perspective by using a case study of the Swedish grocery retailer ICA. Furthermore, we aim to comprehend the connection of the contained private labels in a multitier private label to the retailer brand image. Methodology: Based on an epistemological social c
