This thesis work is part of a larger project with final goal to be able to measure the oxygen concentration in the lungs of infants, using non-invasive laser spectroscopy. This thesis is specifically dealing with simulations of light transport through the upper body of infants, as well as constructing a tissue-like model (phantom) that can be used in experiments. The goal is to use these simulatio
This MSc thesis covers the development of a Modelica model of an engine liquid cooling system for the trucks manufactured by MAN Truck & Bus AG. The mathematical assumptions used for transcribing existing models are described and the reasoning behind the modeling process is provided. The separate component models are validated with two sets of input signals. Primarily with a dynamic, transien
The title of my thesis is "Jungle Fever", it aims to investigate the circumstances under which an unusual degree of violence can be used toward activists in the Amazonian region. In my study i looked at both historical factors as well as recent reports from the area which resulted in a conclusion that the pressure, not the least in economic forms, in combination with an absent judicial s
The importance of spaces of resistance lies in their ability to subvert and even change the hegemonic discourse. However, and despite extensive research on geopolitics and space-making processes, little has been said on the power that subaltern spaces can have in this area. Thus, it is the aim of this thesis to demonstrate the existence and strength of these space-making practices – which I choose
Research question: How do the affordances of information and communications technology support knowledge sharing in the public sector? Contribution: With this study, we aim to contribute to the literature of qualitative research on knowledge sharing within the context of the public sector. Adapting an affordance perspective we focus on the employees’ use of information and communications technolo
Limited data storage capability is a large obstacle for saving data in high energy particle physics. One method of partially circumventing these limitations, is trigger level analysis (TLA) as used by the ATLAS experiment. The efficiency of TLA can be further increased by doing effective data compression. One class of artificial neural networks are called autoencoders, which may be used for data
Thesis Purpose: The purpose is to explore post-acquisition tensions in a B2B firm's corporate brand identity to better understand why tensions emerge, what effect those tensions have, and lastly, how these tensions may be dealt with, if at all. Methodology: A qualitative multiple case study based on four companies with a constructionist and inductive approach has been executed in this thesis.
Over the last few years, the user-generated video-sharing online platform YouTube has been recognized by the academia as well as mainstream media as an arena for predominately rightwing political content, and radicalizing far-right extremism in particular. This thesis introduces and explores the construction of a new digital left in the left-wing phenomenon LeftTube on YouTube. Through using criti
Denna uppsats syftar till att analysera statsansvar för folkmord, och gör detta mer specifikt genom att undersöka frågan om ansvar för medhjälp till folkmord samt mens rea elementet i folkmordsdefinitionen. År 2007 meddelade ICJ sin dom i the Genocide case, där en av de centrala frågorna för domstolen var ifall en stat kunde hållas ansvarig för folkmord under Folkmordskonventionen. ICJ konstateraThis thesis seeks to analyze the international responsibility of states for genocide, and more particularly does so by looking closer at complicity in genocide and the mens rea element of the definition. In 2007 the ICJ rendered its judgment in the Genocide case, where one of the key issues before the Court was whether a state could be held responsible for genocide under the Genocide Convention.
This paper examines the visual representations about Mexico's socio-political transitions displayed in two photo-essays of Life Magazine in 1938 and 1939 respectively. It attempts to focus on the analysis of the photographs in light of their historical context to examine how the American society has represented Mexico and constructed a mediated reality through Life magazine's photo-essays.
The purpose of this essay is to suggest a new reading of Richard Adams’ Watership Down (1972) by adopting the recently new discipline of Animal Studies. Adams follows a long tradition of talking animals in literature, which still to this day, is an important part of the English literary canon. Throughout this essay, I shall focus on several aspects of the novel. I will look at the anthropomorphize
The potential of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has been increasingly acknowledged as relevant in intergovernmental policy documents. However, the positive and negative environmental effects of ICTs are widely debated and there is a lack of systematic analysis regarding causal links between ICT and the environment. This paper attempts to bring cla
Psykologisk flexibilitet (PF) refererar till förmågan att genomföra beteenden som ligger i linje med långsiktiga mål inom värderade områden i livet trots närvaro av obehagliga tankar, känslor och fysiska sensationer som ger upphov till impulser att undvika dessa erfarenheter. Högre nivåer av PF (och ökning av PF under behandling) är kopplat till bättre fungerande och mindre upplevt obehag hos vuxnPsychological Flexibility (PF) refers to a person’s ability to persist in behaviours aimed at achieving their longer-term goals in valued domains of living despite the presence of unpleasant thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations that elicit attempts to avoid these experiences. Higher levels of PF (and increases in PF during treatment) are associated with better functioning and lower psychiat
This paper aims to study the relationship between ethical leadership and organizational identification while focusing on employee perception. The study focuses on adding to the existing literature on the constructs by probing into the employee thinking about ethical leadership as he or she perceives as well as expects it and how does that affect their identification with their organization. A quan
Gas cooling is a technique used by firefighters to create a safer work environment inside a compartment fire. By spraying water into the smoke layer, the smoke layer temperature will decrease significantly. Next to the lower temperature, the flammability of the smoke layer will also decrease. Due to the cooling of the fire gases, the smoke layer may contract. This work focused on different parame
