Flutter prediction is a vital part of aircraft development which requires efficient and accurate analysis methods. Saab AB Aeronautics is currently using linear analysis based on the panel method and nonlinear analysis using their in-house CFD software program. These methods are in contrast to one another in terms of computing time and accuracy. There is a need to fill the gap between these method

The thesis analyses the supposed impact of ICT on the economy of the European Union during 2000 – 2017. ICT access and usage proxies combined with macroeconomic control variables in panel data regressions indicate that ICT access has a positive, statistically significant effect on economic growth and labour productivity. Yet no significant results are observed with the employment data, thus disagr

Terrorist organisations ability to conduct successful counterintelligence activities to achieve operational security is key in managing a successful terrorist attack. This thesis examines empirical data by using an analytical framework consisting of three complexity levels of terrorist counterintelligence: Basic denial, Adaptive denial, and Covert manipulation. Within the analysed case, eight inci

This paper estimates the impact of the processes of the Eurasian integration in the post-Soviet space that led to the creation of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) in 2015 over the exports of the member countries and their main partners outside the EEU and its predecessor, the Customs Union (CU). Applying the gravity model technique over the dataset for 1995-2015 obtained from UNESCAP Trade Analyt

The expansion of Chinese media’s global influence has attracted many attentions around the world. When scholars focus on describing how the state-owned media extend beyond borders to reach audience around the globe, the long-existed Chinese diasporic media overseas are lack of discussion. How have they performed and shaped the imagination in-between China, host societies and transnational space? I

This thesis examines the decolonial feminist approach of the transnational feminist collective, Feminists for a Binding Treaty (FBT), as they advocate for the inclusion of a gender perspective in a Binding Treaty to curb corporate power. Drawing on Freeden’s ideology theory and Transnational Feminist Theory, this thesis highlights what a decolonial transnational feminist collective should look lik

Denna uppsats studerar Komintern som underrättelsetjänst. Den överbryggar kopplingen mellan tidigare forskning avseende vad en underrättelseorganisation kan sägas vara och göra och jämför denna kunskapsbas med empiriskt material om Kominterns verksamhet. Fokus läggs på Kominterns arbete i USA genom det amerikanska kommunistpartiet CPUSA och uppsatsen sällar sig till Stout och Warners förståelse av

How can the tools used in elementary school facilitate mathematical learning and understanding? This project has been a study in how maths is taught and how to create a broader understanding of the subject. This report covers the process of, and is part of, my Master thesis at the Industrial Design School in Lund, Sweden. It includes the research and the development of “A Whole”, a mathematical t

Despite the fast food industry’s significant contribution to climate change, climate action plans are not common practice. Furthermore, there is a lack of academic works devoted to researching climate change issues within the fast-food industry. This thesis project examined the Swedish fast food chain MAX Burgers’ involvement with climate responsibility. By applying an internal and external influe

This dissertation will analyze how fashion and language is used to create stereotypes in film. Sex and the City will be used as the case study and the aim is to analyze the correlation between fashion and language in the making of the four main characters stereotypes. we will analyze these following questions: Why and in which way is fashion being used in Sex and the City to express sterotypes, an

Heterogena katalysatorer för användning i bränslecellssystem har undersökts baserat på aktiv fas och tillverkningsmetoder för granulat- och monolitkatalysatorer. Katalysatorerna tillverkades genom att använda θ – aluminiumoxid som bärare, dopad med lantan och cerium, där den aktiva fasen bestod av ädelmetall X och nickel i varierande halter. Analys gjordes genom att låta en blandning av vattenångaHeterogeneous catalysts to be used in a pre-reformer for fuel cell systems have been investigated based on active phase composition and catalyst preparation methods for granulate and monolithic catalysts. The catalysts were manufactured using θ – aluminum oxide as carrier, promoted with lanthanum and cerium, with active phases consisting of noble metal X and nickel in various concentrations. Analy

This thesis studies demonstrations in a game theoretic framework. In the model designed, demonstrations are explored as signals from different types of agents who pursue a redistribution in their society. The types of agents depend on their likelihood to achieve a “large” demonstration and therefore a franchise extension. The ones in power cannot distinguish between the types of agents, thus it is

Quantification through image analysis is used in a multitude of fields, and often requires algorithms tailored to the specific task and object that needs to be quantified. The need for flexibility means that such segmentation algorithms are quickly becoming outdated with the advent of convolutional neural networks, which can be trained to fit the specific requirements of the user. One of the field

Under våren 2020 har många blivit påverkade av det så kallade coronaviruset, Covid19. Viruset har eskalerat i hög takt och utvecklats till en pandemi som påverkat världsekonomin och samtliga branscher. Dagligvaruhandeln har framförallt blivit påverkad och diskussioner har väckts kring konsumenters agerande i samband med den höga försäljningsökningen. Konsumtion under kriser har i tidigare forsknin

The purpose of this study is to contribute to the limited literature on sustainable consumption in Vietnam with a focus on the young urban consumer. Sustainable consumption is an important area to focus on as Vietnam is an emerging economy with a young population where consumption is increasing and where the young and fast-growing labor market underpins their economic prosperity. Vietnam is also e

Denna uppsats är ett kulturanalytiskt forskningsprojekt som syftar till att förstå hur sociala och kulturella processer i olika rum i staden bidrar till upplevelsen av ofrivillig ensamhet. Uppsatsen undersöker den ofrivilliga ensamheten i olika skalor i staden, från bostaden, kvarteret, ut i bostadsområdet och vidare ut i staden. Detta uppnås genom att använda ett fenomenologiskt ramverk som analyThis thesis is a cultural analytical research project that aims to understand how social and cultural processes in spaces within the city contribute to the experience of loneliness. The thesis explores loneliness at different layers of the city, from housing, the neighbourhood, to the district and the wider city scale. This is achieved by using a phenomenological framework that analyses the indivi

Abstract The Six-Day War of 1967 and the Yom Kippur War of 1973 are two of the most important military altercations of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Both wars were started by surprise attacks by either side. In 1967 Israel surprised the arab nations and in 1973 the arab nations surprised Israel. This essay is going to, both, analyse the deception and surprise performed in the wars separately and then

I ett nytt och mer pluralistiskt medielandskap, med plattare strukturer, har en ny typ av informationsanvändning växt fram. Denna verkar genom att skapa osäkerhet och därigenom möjlighet till implausible deniability snarare än den plausible deniability som tidigare varit vanlig och intimt förknippad med covert action. På detta område har den ryska staten ansetts vara en föregångare men mindre är k
