Numerisk strömningsmekanik är en kraftfull metod för att förstå flödet och förbränningen som sker i flygplansmotorer och kommer att vara ett avgörande verktyg i övergången från konventionella fossila bränslen till hållbara alternativ. Eftersom mer forskning har skett kring konventionella bränslen bör en simuleringsmetod för alternativa bränslen föregås av en metod som verklighetstroget kan simulerComputational fluid dynamics is a powerful method for understanding the flow and combustion that occurs inside aircraft engines and will be a key tool in the transition from conventional fossil-based fuel to sustainable alternatives. Because conventional fuels have been more widely researched, an attempt at simulating the combustion of alternative fuels should be preceded by the development of a m

The purpose of this thesis is to explore antecedents of recommendation intention for the mobile payment system. The research design was cross-sectional, thus allowing to make associations and patterns. Further, structural equation modeling is used to analyze the relationships between the antecedents and intention formation. The thesis uses the theory of planned behavior as a guiding framework and

Purpose: Our study aims to investigate new employees’ perceptions of their virtual onboarding in a consultancy firm and how their perceptions relate to networking. We saw the need to enrich the existing theories on onboarding and networking as they were not applicable to the ever-changing environ- ment. Methodology: We conducted a qualitative single case study following an abductive and interpret

The thesis investigates whether the higher education expansion policy, issued in 1999, China, improved individuals’ schooling and wages. The thesis mainly applies Mincer functions. Empirical results show that higher education policy increased schooling years, but it does not change the economic returns to higher education dramatically. Heterogeneous return was evident in the region, type of work u

I denna rapport har brandskyddet i kv. Niagara i Malmö undersökts och utvärderats. Syftet med rapporten har varit att bedöma personsäkerheten i byggnaden kv. Niagara i händelse av brand. Detta har gjorts genom att utvärdera det befintliga brandskyddet och utrymningsmöjligheter. Målet har sedan varit att fastställa om det befintliga brandskyddet är skäligt med hänseende på personsäkerhet, med fokusThe purpose of the following report was to assess human safety in kv. Niagara, Malmö, by evaluating the existing fire protection of the building. An understanding of the current fire protection was formed by making a virtual visit to the building as well as studying the provided fire protection documentation. Values for critical conditions were assumed for temperature, radiation, visibility and to

This thesis aims to enhance the existing knowledge about cultural management and expanding its scope to discussing service creation in times of COVID-19 from a practice perspective, using public libraries as an example. There is extensive research on public libraries focusing on service encounters, service experience, service quality, place-making processes, and digitalization of library services.

As a country with a high proportion of population and land area in the world, China is in a stage of changing its economic development direction, from the previous extensive economic growth to the intensive economic growth. At the same time, due to the limited total amount of resources and limited environmental bearing capacity on the earth, certain constraints are found in terms of amount and str

As of January 2021 Covid19 had left more than half the world’s pilots unemployed (Reuters, 2021). This paper aims to investigate how pilots are affected in terms of attitude and new career choices following a redundancy caused by Covid19 and use these insights to help future pilots be better prepared to handle similar crises. This qualitative study interviewed five former Norwegian Air Shuttle pil

Double neutron star binaries (DNSBs) in the mHz gravitational wave (GW) regime are an important group of objects which the GW detector LISA will be able to observe. The detection and parametrization of these objects will help develop our current understanding of neutron star formation and evolution. In this thesis, we synthesize a group of DNSBs using data from Church et al. (2011) and normalize t

År 2020 har fört med sig många utmaningar och med en pågående pandemi har en stor majoritet av arbetsplatser behövt förflytta sig till den virtuella världen för att bromsa smittspridningen. Men om det tas en närmare titt på byggbranschen kommer man inse snabbt att det kan vara svårt att utföra vissa arbetsuppgifter från sitt hemkontor. Byggbranschen i allmänhet och byggproduktion i synnerhet är be

This study aims to understand how and if the youth recreational centers (fritidsgårdar) in Malmö are able to help the young people that visit them handle different forms of social vulnerability.

Debates around biodiversity and forestry in Sweden have gotten increasingly polarised, with two conflicting forestry goals of production and environmental conservation. Significantly for forest birds, two different claims are occurring simultaneously: 1) forest bird abundance is increasing with positive population trends for some species while 2) there is a stagnation or even decline in forest bir

In the last 50 years the gay pride movement has gained more momentum worldwide than ever before. The increased visibility obtained from the Stonewall riots of 1969 in the US, granted queer identities agency. Almost a decade later, the gay pride movement started to flourish in Greece as well, but the country did not see its first gay Pride parade until 2005 in the capital city of Athens. Since then

Modern science, as we today know it has its roots in Europe during the renaissance, philosophers then begun to form knowledge on the rules for how nature science should work in its quest in understanding the universe. The seventeenth century was also when scientific journals came into circulation, this represents a great leap in how science was communicated in contrast to earlier private correspon

During recent years, the world has experienced a trend of diminishing freedoms. The failure of governments around the world to tackle polarization and inequality has resulted in a discontent amongst people. A discontent which has been exploited by autocratic and populist leaders claiming to have the right answers. Such a development has occurred in Hungary, where the Fidesz government has transfor

This master’s thesis examines discursive problem representations of involuntary childlessness in official government documents related to the medicalisation of involuntary childlessness in Sweden. A feminist and poststructuralist policy analysis is carried out using the methodological framework “What is the problem represented to be?” in combination with theoretical concepts from medicalisation an

This paper examines the “back-testability” of Expected Shortfall and if different backtesting methods produce similar results, with the aim of illuminating whether various markets have any effect on the methods’ ability to perform. In order to answer this question, the three backtesting methods – Test 1 and Test 2 by Acerbi & Szekely, and the Approximative Quantile Test by Emmer et al. – are i
