Russia's invasion of Ukraine has caused division among nations, with large parts of the Global South either refraining from condemning Russia or outright criticizing the West for its pro-Ukraine stance. It highlights the need to examine Russia’s public diplomacy efforts and ability to attract parts of the Global South in the context of the war. Based on this notion, the following thesis examin

The concrete sector is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions; consumes substantial amounts of natural resources and serves as a significant source of global waste. The Circular Economy approach has been put forward as the solution to these environmental issues, but the overall effectiveness of the approach has been called into question by existing research. The aim of this thesis

The vacuum cleaner industry has until recently been exempt of energy labeling in the EU which, unlike refridgerators, cookers and washing machines, has enabled it to turn to power as a main sales argument towards consumers. Both in energy usage and from a styling perspective, power has been and still is a strongly enforced value - making it one of the few domestic appliances that often looks like

The labor market, and therefore employment conditions, has changed in recent decades. Today, flexibilisation has led to a large number of employees who work part-time or lack permanent employment. An involuntary part-time worker refers to an individual who is working part-time and states that they want to work more hours than what the employer offers. As long as the employer complies with the prov

Problem description An organized approach to corporate real estate (CRE) decisions i.e. a CRE strategy, can add value to a company in many ways. The decision to own or lease real estate is a vital part of the strategy. What factors are decisions to own or lease CRE based on? The authors seek patterns in decision factors for different industries. Identified patterns will provide an understanding of

As part of a structural genomics platform in a university laboratory, a low-cost in-house-developed automated imaging system for SBS microplate experiments has been designed and constructed. The imaging system can scan a microplate in 2-6 min for a 96-well plate depending on the plate layout and scanning options. A web-based crystallization database system has been developed, enabling users to fol

This thesis seeks to investigate the tension between public participation and the aspect of efficiency in the spatial planning process, by studying the planning process of Rosens Röda Matta, a site for social, cultural and physical activity, in Rosengård, Malmö. Rosens Röda Matta was planned by Malmö municipality in collaboration with thirteen young women living in area. The aim of the thesis is

The theory of the Investment Development Path (IDP) by John H. Dunning suggests that as a country develops, its composition of inward and outward foreign direct investment change both regarding to quantity and type of investment. The theory consists of 5 stages a country passes as its OLI-advantages develop. In this paper we have applied the theory of the IDP on the case of Brazil in order to eval

The aim of this thesis is to find an efficient simulation method of the Heston model of stochastic volatility to price path dependent derivatives. The volatility process in this model has an exact transition density defined as a scaled non central chi2 density. By implementing classic approaches of approximating the non central chi2 distribution, and modifying Andersen's Quadratic Exponential

The main goal of this thesis is to find an effective way to fuzz trusted applications (TAs) with source code residing in trusted execution environment (TEE). While fuzzing TAs has been previously done, no work has been found to utilize the source code of TAs to improve the fuzzing. Utilizing the source code in fuzzing can lead to an increase in code coverage compared to black-box fuzzing, and ther

Introduction: Regional and global brain volumes are of great interest in many different research projects, not least in Alzheimer’s research. The purpose of this project is to optimize the MPRAGE sequence for automatic and repeatable segmentation of human brain tissue. The volume is calculated for the whole brain, white matter (WM), grey matter (GM) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Materials and met

Ethics is increasingly recognized as one of several important dimensions of performance. Yet, performance audit, or value-for-money audit, as conducted by supreme audit institutions (SAIs), does not typically include this dimension. Instead, the focus is on the classical ‘three Es’ (efficiency, economy and effectiveness).

Popular Abstract in English Concrete is one of our most common building materials and is used both for buildings, bridges and other heavy structures. Typically, concrete structures are very durable, but sometimes they need to be strengthened. The reason may be cracking due to environmental effects, that a bridge is to be used for heavier traffic, new building codes, or damage resulting from earthqA 3D nonlinear finite element analysis modelling framework was developed for simulating the behaviour of beams retrofitted with fibre reinforced polymer (FRP). The ABAQUS program was used for this purpose. Concrete was modelled using a plastic damage model. Steel bars were modelled as an elastic perfectly plastic material, with perfect bond between concrete and steel. A cohesive model was used for

Recently the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released their 6th Assessment reports which confirm that the impact of climate change is visible, e.g. through an increased weather volatility leading both to hotter drier weather and increased flooding in some regions globally. One clear example of this is the increased prevalence of wildfires in recent years and increasing wildfire potentialRecently the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released their 6th Assessment reports which confirm that the impact of climate change is visible, e.g. through an increased weather volatility leading both to hotter drier weather and increased flooding in some regions globally.
