    Författare :Johan Elg; Philip Sabin; Försvarshögskolan; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; wargaming; wargame; instructor; gamification; game-based learning; buy-in; officer education; officer cadet; Sandhurst; West Point; UK; USA; Sweden; Germany; Japan; game director; krigsspel; utbildningsspel; militär utbildning; officersutbildning; Sverige; USA; Storbritannien; Tyskland; Japan; spelbaserat lärande; brädspel; spel; simulering; Försvarshögskolan; instruktör; Krigsvetenskap; Krigsvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : Wargaming has been part of military curricula for about 200 years since the introduction of Kriegsspiel, but it is still something of an art form. This thesis attempts to theorise the practice of military educational wargaming, and specifically to explore why such wargaming takes the form it does. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Numerical Modelling and Mechanical Studies on a Point Absorber Type Wave Energy Converter

    Författare :Yue Hong; Rafael Waters; Mikael Eriksson; Cecilia Boström; Jørgen Hals Todalshaug; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :linear generator; point absorber; numerical modelling; power production; optimal damping; Teknisk fysik; Engineering Science;

    Sammanfattning : Oceans cover two thirds of the Earth’s surface and the energy potential of ocean waves as a renewable energy source is huge. It would therefore be a tremendous achievement if the vast mechanical energy in waves was converted into a form of energy that could be used successfully by society. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Ocean circulation in the Amundsen Sea, West Antarctica

    Författare :Ola Kalén; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ocean; currents; icebergs; remote sensing; ocean model;

    Sammanfattning : The increase of mass loss from the Antarctic Ice Sheet is a significant contribution to global sea level rise. The most rapid changes are occurring in the Amundsen Sea area, where the thinning of the floating glaciers is assumed to be driven by the ocean. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Sea Level Compensation System for Wave Energy Converters

    Författare :Valeria Castellucci; Rafael Waters; Ronan Costello; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Ocean energy; Tides; Linear generator; Point absorber; Offshore experiment; Hydro-mechanic modeling; Power absorption; Control system; Communication system; Measurement system; Lysekil research site; Wave Hub.;

    Sammanfattning : The wave energy converter developed at Uppsala University consists of a linear generator at the seabed driven by the motion of a buoy on the water surface. The energy absorbed by the generator is negatively affected by variations of the mean sea level caused by tides, changes in barometric pressure, strong winds, and storm surges. LÄS MER

  7. 10. (Re-)shaping regional economies : Regional innovation system dynamics and new industrial path development

    Författare :Johan Miörner; Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; economic geography; new path development; industrial change; regional innovation systems; reconfiguration; innovation policy; Structural change; agency; institutions; digital games; Automotive; IT; Scania; West Sweden; economic geography; new path development; industrial change; regional innovation system; reconfiguration; innovation policy; structural change; agency; institutions; digital games; automotive; IT; Scania; West Sweden;

    Sammanfattning : This dissertation explores the complexities of regional economic restructuring. It casts a light on how regional environments are ‘reconfigured’ in relation to the transformation of existing regional industries and the development of new ones. LÄS MER
