Denna studie innefattas av en kvalitativ visuell analys av sex videor delade av Donald Trump på Twitter under hans tid som president 2016–2020. Samtliga delar av analysmaterialet innehar drag av populärkulturens och i synnerhet reality-genrens logik, narrativ och roller. Studiens syfte är att belysa hur dessa karaktärsdrag präglat Trumps sätt att kommunicera och i förlängningen det politiska samta
This project aims to design a radial inflow microturbine that will be part of a system to generate both heat and electricity. Considering the specific power and the mass flow rates involved with the system, a radial inflow turbine was chosen. This type of turbine provides much larger power density in a single stage compared to the other types.
Due to the progressing environmental problems related to global warming, the chemical industry is transitioning from fossil to renewable feedstocks. For added environmental benefits, surplus biomass from the agricultural industry which currently does not have any high-value applications can be used for production of chemicals. This master thesis is written as a part of the tech-no-economic analysi
Using the data of 110 completed special-purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) U.S.-listed between the 1st of January 2019 and the 15th of September 2021, this paper will examine the returns of SPACs based on the three phases of their SPACs life cycle in addition to the returns of their two main events; the merger announcement and the merger completion. Phase one is defined as the time period betwe
This thesis proposes a hierarchical clustering algorithm for time series, comprised of a variational autoencoder to compress the series and a Gaussian mixture model to merge them into an appropriate cluster hierarchy. This approach is motivated by the autoencoders good results in dimensionality reduction tasks and by the likelihood framework given by the Gaussian mixture model. In contrast to simi
Title: The mediating role of Organizational Capabilities between Environmental Regulations and Environmental Innovation. Keywords: Environmental Innovation, Organizational Capabilities, Environmental Regulations. Research question: How do environmental regulations impact environmental innovation through organizational capabilities? Methodology: This research has been conducted through a singl
This thesis presents a numerical study of the beyond mean field extended Gross-Pitaevskii equation for a two-component self-bound Bose-Einstein condensate, supplemented by analytical work. We extend the quasi-two-dimensional system's mean field particle-particle contact interaction by quantum fluctuations (LHY-correction). We investigate the formation of self-bound droplets without external co
The induction of recombinant expression in bioprocesses is associated with high costs, but still suffers from unoptimised standard procedures with high use of IPTG. A flow-based online method for enzymatic analysis of recombinant expression in E. coli could greatly help in mapping induction behaviour, and assembly and programming of a FlowSystem for automatic sampling was done. The process was nev
Building on the idea that luxury goods can signal information about the self, such as wealth and status, to others, several attempts have been made to discover whether luxury goods have signaling functions specific to relationships. Past research showed that women’s luxury products might signal their partners’ devotion to them. The current research tested this devotion signaling function of luxury
This text sets out to examine what the general quantitative drivers of corporate credit ratings are. The result from an OLS regression identifies the following drivers: sales, the size of EBITDA in relation to debt, profitability, and interest coverage. When comparing the ratings from the agencies on a stand-alone basis, there are some differences. While interest coverage is a driving factor of S&
The main aim with this master’s thesis was to study the possibilities of detecting an event (rat trap going off) by analyzing audio streams from a MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems) microphone or movement patterns from a MEMS accelerometer. To achieve this goal, a small, power efficient and cost efficient embedded system was built with the help of a development board, a MEMS accelerometer, a
I denna examensarbetesrapport beskrivs utvecklingen av en dold och hållbar produkt för ström och signalöverföring till skjutdörrars rörliga dörrblad. Examensarbetet har genomförts i samarbete med Assa Abloy Entrance Systems, med målet att möjliggöra användningen av tillbehör som smarta glas, skärmar integrerade i dörrglaset, elektriska lås och sensorer monterade på dörrbladen hos deras skjutdörrarThis master’s thesis report describes the product development process of a durable and concealed product for transferring power and signals to the moving door leafs of sliding doors. The thesis has been conducted in collaboration with Assa Abloy Entrance Systems, with the goal of enabling the use of accessories such as privacy e-glass, screens integrated in the glass, electric locks and sensors mo
Fair use is a doctrine native to the U.S., but is with the introduction of the internet more than a decade ago now informally applied worldwide. It has become a potent tool for the digitisation of classic content, such as books and music. In a very debated area of law, copyright is now regarded not as a promotional tool for intellectual endeavours, but as a brake block obstructing the development
This thesis test weak form efficiency in the stock markets of Ukraine, Russian, and China and compare the efficiency with USA stock market. We employ Distribution test, Unit root test, Runs test, ARMA test and GARCH test to estimate the efficiency of the above four stock markets. In our study, we find that under unit root test and runs test, all of the four stock markets are not weak-form efficie
This study investigates the impacts of FDI on productivity and economic growth in comparative perspective by using two samples, namely “developing” and “developed” countries. The study employs panel cointegration and panel estimation methods. The panel cointegration test results indicate that there are long-run relations between “FDI and productivity”, and “FDI and economic growth” variables. The
The purpose is to answer the question: what are the consequences of the EU discourse on civilian crisis management for the social structures? Critical discourse analysis has been used, both as theory and as method together with social constructivism and the concepts of power and policing. Furthermore, semi-structured interviews with 16 Swedish police officers with experience from EU missions were
The emerging focus on sexuality in development thinking has provided an opening for sex work issues to be included in the development framework. Unequal gender power relations restrict women’s employment opportunities and sex work becomes the best option out of very little choices. However, sexuality norms and beliefs have stratified sex work as ‘unacceptable’. As a result, sex workers face a wide
HIV is the world’s leading infectious killer and young people constitute a large part of those who are infected. Preventative interventions directed to young people often fail to provide the comprehensive information about HIV/AIDS that the young people need and the information given is not always accurately understood. The aim of this study was to explore adolescents’ comprehension regarding HIV/
Bangladesh is the most densely populated country in the world with a high poverty rate. It is a man's country and the women are highly disadvantaged in all areas. It is concluded that gender discrimination has a negative impact on women’s reproductive and mental health. In Bangladesh the work of non governmental organisations has improved women's access to social organisations and networks
