El presente Plan de Marketing nace con la idea de satisfacer la necesidad del segmento adulto entre 55 y 65 años, de bailar y divertirse en un ambiente nocturno con características particulares que satisfacen sus gustos y preferencias. Esta necesidad fue descubierta mediante un análisis de la industria de las Discotheques ubicadas en la ciudad de Santiago y su actual oferta de servicios de entretenimiento para diversos públicos. Este análisis fue justamente el que determinó la existencia de un segmento que quiere divertirse en un lugar que actualmente no se encuentra disponible en la capital chilena. Un minucioso estudio de los posibles segmentos, realizando investigación cualitativa y cuantitativa permitió identificar los posibles segmentos para la propuesta de servicio planteada y a su vez definir cuál será el target principal. Ahondar en estudios exploratorios de comportamientos del consumidor arrojaron varios insgihts que moldearon la actual propuesta de valor del servicio. En esta primera parte del trabajo, se detalla paso a paso el análisis situalcional previo a la definición de las estrategias de marketing y ventas para lograr que Flashback Disotheque – Restaurante, se posicione como un competidor fuerte en la industria y genere valor para los clientes locales y extranjeros.

The important conclusion was reached that when combusting H2/CH 4 fuel mixes flashback behaviour approaches that of pure methane for equivalence ratios less than about 0.65, all pressures investigated up to 7 bara and air inlet temperatures of 300 and 473K. Significant deleterious changes in flashback behaviour for H2/CH4 fuel mixes occurred for air inlet temperatures of 673K, although operation at weak equivalence ratios less than 0.65 was still beneficial.

In the 1960's, psychedelic drugs were a part of not only popular culture, but also cuttingedge psychology research. Scientists were studying these drugs in the hope of understanding and treating various psychological and societal ills; but as psychedelics got caught up in the counter-culture, they fell out of favor with the public, and practically vanished from the research world as quickly as they'd appeared. Now, decades after they all but disappeared, psychedelics are making a comeback. Focusing primarily on research with psychedelics to treat post-traumatic stress disorder as well as anxiety and depression associated with terminal illness, this thesis examines the researchers who've brought psychedelic medicine back from the brink and the work they're doing to explore the potential within these complex and controversial drugs.

Full textAbstract:
Swedes and Swedish Culture are controversial political subjects in Sweden. The definitions for Swedish culture are very vague and what is the answer to the question: Who can be called Swedes? It has been debated in Sweden more since Swedish Democrats crossed the four percent threshold necessary for representation in the Swedish parliament. Swedes or Swedish culture on a large internet forum with 2 million visitors per week called Flashback forum is material for this thesis. Flashback forum has currently more than 50 million posts published and has more than 970 000 users. Flashback forum is more and more often mentioned in Swedish media. This is a new study of Swedes or Swedish culture in an internet context based on specific definitions of culture. The specific definitions of culture are based on Professor emeritus Karl-Olov Arnstberg’s book “Svenskheten – den kulturförnekande kulturen”. The specific definitions of culture are used in a classification of the posts on Flashback forum in an ideal type analysis. Which out of four specific definitions of culture are most notable on Flashback forum and what is significant for that particular definition? The most notable definition of culture on Flashback forum is “mentalt kapital”. “Mentalt kapital” is a definition about social values, political values and communicational skills such as the Swedish language.

Full textAbstract:
The somewhat controversial Swedish online discussion forum Flashback Forum (Flashback) is used by a large part of the Swedish population and contains large amounts of information with a wide diversity regarding subjects. Flashback is unique, not least with its focus on freedom of speech, and is often considered unreliable and questionable. However, the large amount of information stored enable the use of the forum as a source of everyday information, given the fact that the user remain critical in their approach to the information retrieved. It seems reasonable to assume that students also use Flashback for this reason; and they can be assumed to have certain experiences regarding searching for information and judging the trustworthiness of found information. The purpose of this essay is therefore to study how Swedish students use Flashback to search for and access information, and how they relate to this information. To study this some concepts from Reijo Savolainen’s theory of everyday information practices has been used, in which he takes a social phenomenological perspective to everyday life information seeking (ELIS). These concepts are information source horizons, information fields and pathways, and stock of knowledge. For the method a survey was used, which was distributed online during March 2020 mainly in different student groups on Facebook. The results showed that a majority of the respondents use Flashback to search for and access everyday information, which was mainly related to current crimes and suspects. The majority of the respondents retained a critical approach to the information and used it mainly to still their curiosity about cases mentioned on news sites or papers. This study shows that Flashback can – and is – used by students to retrieve everyday information, mainly because the sought for information is not available, or not openly available, elsewhere. This study also shows that despite Flashback’s questionable reliability, the nature of the forum, and the fact that most respondents had a relatively bad attitude towards the forum, Flashback has a great potential as a source for everyday information of minor importance, and for taking part of others’ experiences.

Hatem, Fares. "Flashback analysis and avoidance in swirl burners." Thesis, Cardiff University, 2017. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/103700/.
Full textAbstract:
This study is aimed to investigate and demonstrate the feasibility and validity of various flame flashback resistance techniques for premixed fuel conditions. It presents a series of experiments to determine the impact of different configurations on flame flashback mechanisms. Experiments were performed using a 150 kW tangential swirl burner working on premixed mode with various swirl numbers; the flow field characteristics were measured by 1D LDA. The first part of the project targeted the effect of central fuel injector geometries on flame flashback mechanisms, especially combustion induced vortex breakdown (CIVB). It was found that changing the central fuel injector outside diameter can significantly alter the flame flashback mechanism. Large injector diameters result in boundary layer flashback (BLF), contrary, the use of small injectors diameter led to CIVB. Thus a dimensionless number (χ) which represent the ratio between the injector outside diameter and the nozzle inside diameter was introduced. Using this dimensionless number the critical value of transition from CIVB to BLF has been defined, the value being χ= 0.280 for Sg=1.12 and χ= 0.320 for Sg= 0.9. The second part was about the effect of using axial air injection instead of central fuel injectors. It was found that axial air jets have a considerable potential for flame stability requirements, they producing wider stability operation than that of central injectors. Moreover, the stability limits increase regarding both equivalence ratio and inlet tangential velocity. It appeared that using such air jets could reduce the combustor maintenance cost that arises due to a continuous harsh environment. However, it was found that axial air jets could enforce flame propagation during flashback via wall boundary layer. Thus, the third part of the study was about the validity of using micromeshes to improve BLF resistance in addition to axial air injection. It was found that using both techniques produced high flashback resistance for both mechanisms, i.e. CIVB and BLF.

Abdulsada, Mohammed. "Flashback and blowoff characteristics of gas turbine swirl combustor." Thesis, Cardiff University, 2011. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/24193/.
Full textAbstract:
Gas turbines are extensively used in combined cycle power systems. These form about 20% of global power generating capacity, normally being fired on natural gas, but this is expected in the future to move towards hydrogen enriched gaseous fuels to reduce CO2 emissions. Gas turbine combined cycles can give electrical power generation efficiencies of up to 60%, with the aim of increasing this to 70% in the next 10 to 15 years, whilst at the same time substantially reducing emissions of contaminants such as NOx. The gas turbine combustor is an essential and critical component here. These are universally stabilized with swirl flows, which give very wide blowoff limits, and with appropriate modification can be adjusted to give very low NOx and other emission. Lean premixed combustion is commonly used at pressures between 15 to 30 bar, these even out hot spots and minimise formation of thermal NOx. Problems arise because improving materials technology/improved cooling techniques allow higher turbine inlet temperatures, hence higher efficiencies, but with the drawback of potentially higher emissions and stability problems. This PhD study has widely investigated and analysed two different kinds of gas turbine swirl burners. The research has included experimental investigation and computational simulation. Mainly, the flashback and blowoff limits have been comprehensively analysed to investigate their effect upon swirl burner operation. The study was extended by using different gas mixtures, including either pure gas or a combination of more than one gas like natural gas, methane, hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The first combustor is a 100 kW tangential swirl combustor made of stainless steel that has been experimentally and theoretically analysed to study and mitigate the effect of flashback phenomena. The use of a central fuel injector, cylindrical confinement and exhaust sleeve are shown to give large benefits in terms of flashback resistance and acts to reduce and sometimes eliminate any coherent structures which may be located along the axis of symmetry. The Critical Boundary Velocity Gradient is used for characterisation of flashback, both via the original Lewis and von Elbe formula and via new analysis using CFD and investigation of boundary layer conditions just in front of the flame front. Conclusions are drawn as to mitigation technologies. It is recognized how isothermal conditions produce strong Precessing Vortex Cores that are fundamental in producing the ii final flow field, whilst the Central Recirculation Zones are dependent on pressure decay ratio inside the combustion chamber. Combustion conditions showed the high similarity between experiments and simulation. Flashback was demonstrated to be a factor highly related to the strength of the Central Recirculation Zone for those cases where a Combustion Induced Vortex Breakdown was allowed to enter the swirl chamber, whilst cases where a bluff body impeded its passage showed a considerable improvement to the resistance of the phenomenon. The use of nozzle constrictions also reduced flashback at high Reynolds number (Re). All these results were intended to contribute to better designs of future combustors. The second piece of work of this PhD research included comprehensive experimental work using a generic swirl burner (with three different blade inserts to give different swirl numbers) and has been used to examine the phenomena of flashback and blowoff in the swirl burner in the context of lean premixed combustion. Cylindrical and conical confinements have been set up and assembled with the original design of the generic swirl combustor. In addition to that, multi-fuel blends used during the experimental work include pure methane, pure hydrogen, hydrogen / methane mixture, carbon dioxide/ methane mixture and coke oven gas. The above investigational analysis has proved the flashback limits decrease when swirl numbers decrease for the fuel blends that contain 30% or less hydrogen. Confinements would improve the flashback limit as well. Blowoff limits improve with a lower swirl number and it is easier to recognise the gradual extinction of the flame under blowoff conditions. The use of exhaust confinement has created a considerable improvement in blowoff. Hydrogen enriched fuels can improve the blowoff limit in terms of increasing heat release, which is higher than heat release with natural gas. However, the confinements complicate the flashback, especially when the fuel contains a high percentage of hydrogen. The flashback propensity of the hydrogen/methane blends becomes quite strong. The most important features in gas turbines is the possibility of using different kinds of fuel. This matter has been discussed extensively in this project. By matching flashback/blowoff limits, it has been found that for fuels containing up to 30% of hydrogen, the designer would be able to switch the same gas turbine combustor to multifuels whilst producing the same power output.

Full textAbstract:
Immigration has since long remained a contentious issue of debate. Researchers have illustratedconnections between standpoints opposed to immigration and certain views on welfare, which may beused to legitimize racism. Such perspectives on immigration and welfare have been shown to beprominent in certain contexts on the internet, like the Swedish web forum Flashback. The aim of thisthesis is to analyze discourses on Flashback about immigration, as well as discourses on Flashback regarding immigration‟s consequences for Swedish welfare. The intention is to contribute to an understanding of racist discourse on this platform specifically. The study is based on a discourse analytical approach and deals with a data set of Flashback posts to analyze constructions of immigration in relation to Swedish welfare. The findings suggest that racist discourse on Flashback islargely comprised of discursive constructions mutually reinforcing each other in a chain of feedback loops. This implies a form of circular reasoning in racist discourse on Flashback.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, there have been many debates about fat female bodies in the media. Fat women are often associated with moral failure, laziness and stupidity. Women’s fat bodies are loaded with negative meanings because of dominant negative attitudes. These attitudes tells fat women that they need to change their bodies, in order to fit in a society where beauty standards are characterized with certain ideals around skinnyness. In this study, i will show how fat female bodies are being discussed on Flashback forum. I’m using a gender and intersectionalitative perspective. Anti-feminists uses Flashback forum to express sexist, homophobic and racist comments about different authors of feminist and body-positive blogs. These feminist bloggers are questioning the oppression that fat women faces in their everyday lives, and they wan’t to make all bodies visable by countering prejudice about fat female bodies. When does Flashback take threats against female feminist bloggers seriously?

Full textAbstract:
Män som köper sex av kvinnor är ett pågående problem i dagens samhälle trots en lagstiftning som kriminaliserar köp av sexuella tjänster och trots att socialtjänsten har verksamheter riktade till sexköpare. Internet är en mötesplats där de män som köper sex och de som inte gör det har möjlighet att diskutera sexköp. Studiens syfte har därför varit att på diskussionsforumet Flashback undersöka och problematisera hur sexköp beskrivs i diskussionstrådar av de män som skriver att de köper sex av kvinnor och de män som skriver att de inte gör det, för att få kunskap om vilka konstruktioner av sexköp det finns och hur sexköp kan motiveras/inte motiveras. Metoden som använts för att undersöka det som skrivs i diskussionstrådarna är Norman Faircloughs kritiska diskursanalys. I enlighet med studiens syfte att problematisera hur sexköp beskrivs har resultatet analyserats utifrån radikalfeministisk teori och teorin om hegemonisk maskulinitet. Studiens resultat visar att sexköp kan motiveras genom att det konstrueras som konsumentens rättighet, mäns enda utväg, som en god gärning, att sex alltid kostar och som sex mellan jämlika parter. Resultatet visar även att motiv till att inte köpa sex är att den prostituerade konstrueras som osmaklig, att sexköp är ett risktagande och ett onödigt köp. Motiv för och emot sexköp har utgångspunkt i männens situation, medan den prostituerades situation inte problematiseras, vilket förstås med mäns överordning över kvinnor och normer om maskulinitet.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of our study was to examine Swedish crime reporters’ approach to the social medium Flashback. Our main focus was the crime reporters’ use of the medium Flashback, and attitude towards their own use of media ethics in relation to the medium Flashback. Flashback as a medium is not obliged to any media ethics and lacks a legally accountable publisher. In the search for information about committed crimes people tends to visit Flashback for the information that the traditional media cannot offer. In that sense Flashback challenges the foundation of media ethics today. That is why we found it interesting to study crime reporters in particular. The study used a qualitative approach and was conducted through interviews with eight crime reporters. We have used theories about media ethics, social media and participatory journalism to explore the development in the area and how journalists have adapted to this change. The result shows that there are journalists who use Flashback as a journalistic tool to find information, to save time and as a mean to keep up-to-date. And moreover, the study gives examples on how an online forum with anonymous sources can be used – like any other source, as long as you are source-critical.

Full textAbstract:
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is classified as an anxiety disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual IV of the American Psychiatric Association. It is characterised by three main symptom clusters: re-experiencing (of which flashbacks are the hallmark symptom); hyperarousal; and avoidance. Diagnosis requires not only the occurrence of a traumatic event but also an intense emotional (fear, horror, or helplessness) reaction to it. Epidemiological data suggest that 80% of people will experience at least one qualifying event in their lifetime. However, prevalence rates of PTSD are much lower. Additionally, individuals with PTSD tend to experience flashbacks of only two or three particular ‘hot-spots’ of the entire trauma. Therefore, the question arises: why do some moments of trauma flash back and not others? Clinical-cognitive theories of PTSD suggest that shifts in information processing at the time of the trauma (i.e. peri-traumatically) are the mechanism whereby flashbacks are created. However, for ethical and practical reasons peri-traumatic processes in real trauma are seldom studied. An analogue traumatic event has been developed to help study peri-traumatic processes – the trauma film paradigm. This paradigm is used through-out this thesis with the goal of investigating peri-traumatic cognitive mechanisms in flashback formation. Studies 1 and 2 extend previous work using dual tasks to manipulate intrusions in-line with clinical-cognitive theories. Studies 3 and 4 use neuroimaging techniques to investigate brain regions involved in real-time peri-traumatic encoding of analogue flashbacks. Chapter 9 presents heart rate data relating to peri-traumatic physiological response to flashback encoding. All of these studies support the notion that peri-traumatic shifts in processing are involved in flashback formation. In particular, Study 3 suggests that there may be a particular neural signature associated with the formation of flashbacks. Investigation of these brain areas may help solve the questions of why some individuals are more vulnerable to PTSD and why only a few specific moments of a trauma subsequently flashback. Furthermore, an improved understanding of the cognitive mechanisms involved in flashback formation may allow theory and evidence led improvements in PTSD treatments.

Full textAbstract:
I den här internetstudien analyseras inlägg från män som talar om att köpa ”sex” i Flashback-tråden Kvinnorna i Thailand. Tråden kan betraktas som ett homosocialt brödraskap där män finner gemenskap genom skapande och upprätthållande av maskulinitet samt heterosexualitet. I prostitutionsdebatten är det framför allt kvinnorna som säljer ”sex” som stått i fokus, medan torskarna, de som stått för efterfrågan, har varit osynliga. Den här studien bidrar med att synliggöra hur män som talar om att köpa ”sex” ser på sig själva och sin roll i prostitution. Med hjälp av de teoretiska utgångspunkterna ”hegemonisk maskulinitet” och ”obligatorisk heterosexualitet för män” undersöker jag hur normer och värderingar konstrueras och förhandlas männen emellan. Studien visar att trots att männen själva berättar att de betalar för ”sexuellt umgänge” är det få som identifierar sig själva som torskar. Istället tar de avstånd från den stereotypa bilden som finns av ”sexköpare” och framhåller sig själva som attraktiva och tilldragande på den ”vanliga” sexuella marknaden. Det faktum att män disciplineras till heterosexualitet är något som genomsyrar hela tråden. Trots detta visar det sig att det finns ett visst mått av förhandlingsutrymme kring den manliga sexualiteten, åtminstone när man rest så långt som till Thailand.

Full textAbstract:
Diskussionsforumet Flashback Forum har med sin slogan ”Yttrandefrihet på riktigt!” etablerat sig som det forum på Internet där kontroversiella åsikter och provocerande material får fritt spelrum. Detta gör forumet till en tacksam forskningskontext när det gäller föreställningar om något så allmängiltigt som välfärdsverksamhet. Studiens syfte är att synliggöra de föreställningar om socialtjänsten och socialarbetare som finns på Flashback Forum, bilda en diskurs av dessa och sedan jämföra diskursen med andra diskurser kring samma fenomen. Flashback Forumdiskursen genomsyras av fyra teman; Misstro mot socialtjänsten och socialarbetare, Socialtjänsten och socialarbetares verksamhet, Socialtjänsten, socialarbetare och kön samt Tilltro till socialtjänsten och socialarbetare. Med socialkonstruktionism och inspiration från Norman Faircloughs kritiska diskursanalys har en analys av empirin samt en jämförelse mellan diskurserna genomförts. Studiens slutsats är att Flashback Forumdiskursen präglas av en stark misstro och en till viss del förlegad kvinnosyn samt att massmediediskursen tycks påverka de övriga diskurserna att presentera en svartvit bild av socialtjänsten och socialarbetare.

Våra attityder har stor betydelse för det kontrollkriminologiska fältets utseende och för de civil och straffrättsliga institutionernas funktion i vår samtid. Forumanvändarnas språkbruk är i den meningen ideologiskt och bidrar till att underbygga den rådande världsbilden. En världsbild som legitimerar etablerade maktförhållanden. Av denna anledning är medvetenhet om dominerande attityder betydelsefullt. En kritisk granskning av inläggen i Flashback Forum bidrar till att klargöra de sociala konsekvenserna av människors inställning till bidragsfusk. Syftet med uppsatsen är att genom Norman Faircloughs kritiska diskursanalys granska forumanvändarnas attityder om grovt bidragsfusk i Flashback Forum mot bakgrund av nyliberala tankegångar. Detta innebär att texten analyseras i förhållande till det bredare sociala sammanhanget. Analysen visar att forumanvändarnas krav på mer förebyggande säkerhetsarbete i form av nya lagar och en förändrad tillämpning av existerande civil- och förvaltningsrättsliga lagar uttrycks i förhoppning om att på ett effektivare sätt hantera inbillade källor till skada - en nyliberal föreställning besatt av osäkerhet. Samtidigt resulterar denna process i en kriminalisering av alla människor i behov av stöd från det offentliga välfärdssystemet.

Full textAbstract:
Denna studie har sitt fokus på det svenska internetforumet Flashback och syftet är att undersöka hur olika typer av gruppidentiteter kommer till uttryck på forumet. Genom en tematisk analys av en längre tråd på forumet utstakas viktiga och övergripande teman som alla har något relevant att säga om ämnet. Studien har sin teoretiska utgångspunkt i teorier kring just gruppbildningar och gemenskaper online. Social identitetsteori, anonymitet, stigmatisering och polarisering är alla viktiga begrepp som under undersökningens gång har visat sig vara mycket användbara. Flashback är för många känt som ett forum där många kvinno- och invandrarfientliga unga män samlas för att i skydd av anonymiteten och med yttrandefriheten i ryggen kunna prata och uttrycka sig om saker på sådana sätt som i det verkliga sociala livet sällan är socialt accepterade. Detta har gjort Flashback till ett forum som många gånger har utvecklas en stark ”vi mot dem”-mentalitet. Min tematiska analys visar också ett forum där gruppidentiteterna är starkt rotade. Det finns ett missnöje mot politiker och etablerad media vilket skapar en rebellanda på forumet. Vidare stämplas andra typer av människor lättvindigt in i i breda sociala grupper som många på Flashback sedan starkt särskiljer sig ifrån. Den egna gruppuppfattningen grundar sig alltså till stor del i relationen till andra utomstående grupper. Samtidigt är anonymiteten viktig i det avseende att en enskild medlem i sig är oväsentlig. Det är hela det anonyma kollektivet som tillsammans skapar och bibehåller dessa gruppidentiteter. Viktigt att påpeka är dock att analysmaterialet även visar på undantag som ifrågasätter bilden av Flashback som en enda stor homogen grupp. Flashbacks stora medlemsantal gör att en total polarisering med enbart samtyckande individer är en omöjlighet.

Full textAbstract:
Digitaliseringen under 2000-talet har förändrat många branscher. Utbredningen av illegal fildelning är en av de utmaningar som dykt upp, utbredd bland i övrigt laglydiga människor. Samtidigt sker en framväxt av nya sätt att konsumera på internet, som tar avstamp i fildelningstekniken men fungerar inom lagliga ramar. Uppsatsen har mot bakgrund av detta drivits av att undersöka hur fildelning motiveras: Hur ser argumenten ut för och emot illegal fildelning? I detta arbete undersöks de argument som används för att rättfärdiga fildelning av musik, genom en kvalitativ argumentationsanalys, kombinerad med Boltanski Thévenots teori om rättfärdigande och värdeordningar. Materialet utgörs av en diskussionstråd på internetforumet Flashback om fildelningssajten The Pirate Bay och streamingtjänsten Spotify. Dessutom undersöks också rättfärdigandet av de streamingtjänster som vuxit fram som alternativ till den illegala fildelningen. Resultatet visar att både fildelning och användandet av streamingtjänster motiveras av pragmatism: smidighet och effektivitet appellerar till användarna mer än tradition och känsla. Dessutom uppvisas en uppluckring i synen på musik som handelsvara: Den ständiga tillgången har förändrat viljan att betala för enskilda album och låtar.

Al-Fahham, Mohamed. "A modelling and experimental study to reduce boundary layer flashback with microstructure." Thesis, Cardiff University, 2017. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/103705/.
Full textAbstract:
Trying to improve gas turbines to be flexible to use different fuels requires a big challenge for gas turbine designers when working with current operation stability issues. Flashback is the major challenge for low NOx premixed combustion of high hydrogen content fuels. Flashback in gas turbine combustors is usually assigned to four mechanisms; core flow flashback, combustion instability flashback, boundary layer flashback (BLF) and combustion induced vortex breakdown (CIVB). The last two mechanisms are most common in swirl combustors, which are used to have better operation stability and low emissions. Improvement of swirl combustors against CIVB has been studied extensively to improve the combustion stability. The most promising solutions of CIVB are limited because the improvement against CIVB worsens the system against boundary layer flashback. Boundary layer flashback is theoretically based on the Lewis von Elbe’s formula for laminar flame, with formulas also used in turbulent flames (with some reservation) by most recent studies. However, the majority of studies take the flame side of the formula, parameters such as fuel type and blends, pressure and preheat temperature, and try to improve the understanding of the boundary layer flashback hoping to find ways to reduce its onset. However, the effect of the burner nozzle has not been studied in many types of research, especially the internal nozzle surfaces. Therefore, this work aims to study the effect of regular surface roughness on the boundary layer flashback in a 150 kW tangential swirl burner. The first part of this study is a numerical simulation using the in-house code Hydr3D to simulate the flow over riblets with different geometries (blade, triangular, scallop, diamond, lotus and sharkskin). The numerical results demonstrate that the blade riblets were the best at reducing the boundary layer thickness and consequently showed the best drag reduction around 11% compared to the smooth surface while the sharkskin geometry was the worse in drag reduction with only 0.5%. vi Although the blade showed the best drag reduction, its weak structure and complex machine specifications make the scallop, lotus, and diamond and sharkskin riblet to be chosen for manufacturing on small discs. The scallop riblet on the nozzle was manufactured using wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM). The second part of the study was isothermal experimental tests for manufactured surfaces. The flow structure was measured using a 1D LDA. The results show that the riblets alter the flow structure near the wall and increase the velocity gradient which helps the flow to reach a velocity 0.99 from mainstream velocity at y+ < 10 compared to y+ > 30 for a smooth surface. The third part of the study was obtained with combustion and isothermal experiments using two different stainless steel woven meshes that served as a liner for the nozzle burner. A 50μm and a 150μm wire diameter meshes were used. The isothermal test showed that the 150μm mesh denoted the best shift of the velocity gradient close to the wall. The combustion experiments showed that the two meshes help to improve system against the boundary layer with the 150μm being the best. Thus, it was demonstrated that BLF could be reduced using microsurfaces, which in conjunction with other techniques, have the potential of increasing optionality, an essential feature for fuel flexibility in Gas Turbines.

Full textAbstract:
Denna studies syfte är att fördjupa förståelsen för hur anonyma aktörer kan diskutera brottsoffer och förövare på ett anonymt forum. Studien utgår från tre trådar på forumet Flashback där brott diskuteras och således brottsoffer och förövare. För att analysera empirin har Michel Foucualts (2003) teori om panoptismen samt Erving Goffmans (2011) teori om stigmatisering och sociala avvikare använts. Foucault har använts då han beskriver hur övervakningen får individer att handla utifrån rådande normer genom övervakning och straff. Goffmans teori har bidragit med en förståelse för hur de individer som inte passar in i normer stämplas som avvikare och således stigmatiseras. Dessa två har förenats för att förklara hur anonyma aktörer framställer brottsoffer och förövare samt hur information kan delas och spekuleras. Studien har en abduktiv ansats då empiri och teori har växelverkat för att skapa en djupare förståelse för diskursen kring brottsoffer och förövare. Studien antar ett diskursanalytiskt perspektiv och är främst inspirerat av Bacchis diskursanalys (2011, refererad i Bergström & Boréus, 2018) och Foucaults (1993) tankar om diskursens ordning. Resultatet visar bland annat att aktörer kan övervaka varandra likt panoptismen (Foucault, 2003) och detta kan ske utifrån normer och socialt avvikande beteende från normerna (Goffman, 2011). Vidare visar resultatet att det finns både skillnader och likheter när det kommer till hur brottsoffer och förövare framställs på Flashback. Exempelvis så diskuterar aktörerna i vissa fall huruvida både förövare och offer passar in i bilden som sociala avvikare baserat på deras inblandning i brott. Således stigmatiseras personerna både genom deras inblandning i brott och den information som sprids om dem på internet. Dock skiljde sig diskursen åt kring brottsoffer och förövare när brottet var en olyckshändelse. Då jämfördes istället inblandade, i viss mån, med varandra. Resultatet visar även att aktörer ofta positionerar sig som sanningssägare oavsett om det rör sig om spekulation eller informationsdelning. Genom att hänvisa till en personlig relation eller kännedom till inblandade personer lämnas lite utrymme för felsägning. Detta kan skapa diskussioner i diskursen som resulterar i stigmatisering även aktörer emellan.This report fulfils the purpose of expanding the understanding of how anonymous actors can discuss victims of crime and perpetrators at an anonymous forum. The study is based on three discussion threads at the Flashback Forum where crimes are discussed and accordingly victims of crime and perpetrators. To analyze the data, Michel Foucualt's (2003) theory of panopticism and Erving Goffman's (2011) theory of stigmatization and social deviants has been used. Foucault’s theory has been used to describe how the surveillance causes individuals to act on the basis of prevailing norms through surveillance and punishment. Goffman's theory has contributed to an understanding of how individuals, who do not fit into norms, get labelled as deviants and therefore get stigmatized. These two theories have been combined to explain how anonymous actors describe victims and perpetrators, and how information can be shared/speculated. The study has an abductive approach as the empiricism and theory interact to create a deeper understanding of the discourse regarding victims of crime and perpetrators. The study assumes a discourse analytic perspective and it is primarily inspired by Bacchi's discourse analysis (2011, referenced in Bergström & Boréus, 2018) and Foucault's (1993) thoughts about the order of discourse. The results show that, among other things, actors can monitor each other like panopticism (Foucault, 2003) and this can be done based on norms and socially deviant behavior from the norms (Goffman, 2011). Furthermore, the results show that there are both differences and similarities when it comes to how victims of crime and perpetrators are portrayed at Flashback. For example, in some cases, the actors discuss whether both the perpetrators and the victims fit into the picture as social deviants or not, based on their involvement in the crime. Thus, the persons involved are stigmatized both through their involvement in the crime and the information that is spread about them over the internet. However, the discourse of the victims of crime and the perpetrators was different when the crime was an accident. In that case the involved, to some extent, were compared with each other. The results also show that actors often position themselves as truth-tellers, whether it is speculation or sharing information. By referring to a personal relationship or knowledge of the people involved, there are little room for misinterpretation. This can create discussions in the discourse that result in stigmatization even among the actors.

Covid-19-pandemin, eller Coronapandemin som den kallas i folkmun har påverkat människors livi över ett år med diverse restriktioner samt att 3,5 miljoner människor har avlidit med virusetCovid-19. Trots detta vill många inte vaccinera sig mot Covid-19 nu när olika vaccin har tagitsfram. En undersökning som genomfördes i januari 2021 visar att 63% av Sveriges befolkning villvaccinera sig mot Covid-19. Detta är beklagligt mot bakgrund av att World Health Organization(WHO) angav vaccinmotstånd som ett av tio globala hot mot hälsan år 2019. Det är av intresse attundersöka vaccinmotståndet riktat mot Covid-19-vaccinet eftersom det är ett relativt outforskatområde. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur vaccinationsmotståndare uttrycker sig omCovid-19-vaccinet på internetforumet Flashback.Detta har undersökts genom en kvalitativ netnografisk studie där innehållet i 9 olikadiskussionstrådar på Flashback rörande ämnet har studerats. Resultatet av undersökningen haranalyserats med hjälp av Ulrich Becks begrepp “risk”, Anthony Giddens definition av begreppen“tillit” och “expertsystem”,samt tidigare forskning om vaccinmotstånd på sociala medier. Studiensresultat indikerar på att personer som är negativt inställda till Covid-19-vaccinet tenderar att sevaccinet som en stor risk. De uttryckte rädsla för diverse olika biverkningar och tenderade attvärdera vaccinet som en större hälsorisk än Covid-19-viruset. En vanlig tendens blandvaccinmotståndare på Flashback var att de förefaller hysa misstro till vetenskapen bakom vaccinoch ofta föredrog alternativa metoder istället för vaccin. De tenderade anse att Covid-19 inte är enfarlig sjukdom eller att helasjukdomen är påhittad av läkemedelsbolag, media, myndigheter ochregering tillsammans. Vaccinmotståndarna på Flashback hade ofta en föreställning om att vaccinenmot Covid-19 antingen ska döda eller sterilisera människor i syfte att utrota jordens befolkning,eller att läkemedelsbolagen vill tjäna pengar på vaccin. Detta indikerar på att vaccinmotståndarehyste mycket misstro mot dels Covid-19-vaccin men även mot läkemedelsbolag, regering,myndigheter och mediaThe Covid-19-pandemic, or Coronapandemic as it is popularly called, has affected everyone's livesfor over a year with various restrictions and 3,5 million people have died with the Covid-19-virus.Despite this, many do not want to be vaccinated against Covid-19 now that vaccines have beendeveloped. A survey conducted in January 2021 shows that 63% of Sweden's population want tobe vaccinated against Covid-19. This can be considered unfortunate because the World HealthOrganization listed vaccine resistance as one of ten global health threats in 2019. It is of interestto investigate vaccine resistance during the Covid-19-pandemic as it is a relatively unexploredarea. The purpose of this study is to investigate how vaccination opponents express themselvesabout the Covid-19-vaccines on the internet forum Flashback.This has been investigated through a netnographic qualitative study where the content of 9different threads on Flashback has been studied. The results of the study have been analyzed usingUlrich Beck's concepts of "risk", Anthony Gidden's definition of the terms "trust" and"expertsystem" as well as previous research on vaccine resistance on social media. The results ofthe study indicate that people who were against the Covid-19-vaccine tended to see the vaccine asa major risk. They were afraid of various side effects and they tended to value the vaccine as agreater risk than getting Covid-19. A common trend among vaccine opponents on Flashback wasthat they tended to distrust the science behind vaccines and instead prefered alternative methodsinstead of vaccines. They tended to think that Covid-19 is not a dangerous disease or that the wholedisease is invented by pharmaceutical companies, the media, the authorities and the governmenttogether. Vaccine opponents on Flashback tended to believe that the vaccine against Covid-19 willeither kill or sterilize people to depopulate the planet, or that the drug companies want to makemoney off vaccines. This indicates that vaccine opponents had a lot of mistrust of the Covid-19-vaccine as an expertsystem, but also pharmaceutical companies, the government, authorities and media.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the phenomenon flashbacks, often named the Proust phenomenon, through the lens of experience design. The research question is Can flashbacks be triggered through experience design? It would then be possible to call flashbacks memories recycled memories. To answer the question former studies were researched, mainly from the standpoint of cognitive psychology. The thesis discusses how different senses produce flashbacks and how they can be used as triggers. The difference between the connection of sight, sound, touch, taste and smell to experiences and flashbacks are examined, especially the extraordinary connection between flashbacks and the olfactory sense. This topic can not be completed without looking into Marcel Proust‘s texts in À la recherche du temps perdu and his poetic description on how flashbacks work. Through the lens of Proust, flashbacks are discussed as narratives and the thesis looks into the significance of the memories as a building block for our sense of ourselves. Several Icelandic storytellers are interviewed about their memories. Through their interviews the storytelling aspect of sharing memories becomes prominent, leading to a discussion on the social aspect of memory sharing. The thesis ends with a study in triggering flashbacks through an experience. An exhibition presenting memories of others through sensory stimuli is used to see the effects of memory sharing through appealing to our senses.

Denna studie har analyserat fyra forumtrådar från det svenska Internetforumet Flashback Forum. Jag har specifikt valt att studera forumets underavdelning för diskussioner rörande feminism och jämställdhet. Jag har – genom närläsning, diskursanalys och katalogisering av foruminläggen – försökt att analysera och “konstruera” de diskurser som dominerar denna forumavdelning, för att förstå hur skribenterna artikulerar tecken som “feminism” och “kroppen”. Mina slutsatser är att två diskurser tydligt dominerar på forumavdelningen. Den dominerande av dessa diskurser är en liberal sådan, där skribenterna – åtminstone i sin retorik – ställer sig positiva till jämställdhet. Samtidigt uttrycker de en hård kritik mot feminism, då de ser den feministiska rörelsen som en rörelse som enbart gynnar kvinnor. Den andra stora diskursen är istället konservativ och korporativistisk i grunden, och skribenterna kritiserar både koncepten feminism och jämställdhet ur ett perspektiv som grundar sig i biologism och en förståelse av samhället som en organisk kropp.

We have researched anonymous platforms and howthe anonymity changes people’s behavior, for a greater understanding of the field.From our results we were able to conclude that changes of people’s behaviors areeffected by which platform they were using. We categorized the behaviors into threedifferent categories based on the results of a qualitative analysis method of our data.We were able to conclude that one of the most common reasons to use anonymity ishow much more users perceived others to be more open and honest. However, wewere also able to see how anonymity had its drawback in forms of, most commonly,“trolls”. Based on our results we draw the conclusion that the behavior changespeople have are balanced between the positives and the negative behaviors. We alsofind in our study that the positives outweigh the negative.

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund: Konstruktioner av ensamkommande barn har undersökts till viss del. Föreställningar om barnen i bland annat medier och policydokument har studerats. Hur barnen konstrueras inom en "vardagskontext", i form av ett öppet diskussionsforum online (Flashback Forum), och hur konstruktioner däri görs trovärdiga, bedöms eftersatt. Syfte: Syftet med föreliggande studie var att identifiera olika inom Flashback Forum förekommande diskurser kring ensamkommande barn, med avseende på deras retoriska organisering. Med diskurs avsågs ett sätt att tala om och förstå världen som konstruerar ett objekt eller företeelse på ett särskilt sätt. Metod: För att besvara syftet användes en diskurspsykologisk ansats vilken fokuserar på hur trovärdighet och sanning skapas i kommunikation. Utifrån en teoretisk modell, innefattande de fyra retoriska teknikerna category entitlement, empirisk repertoar, konsensus och extremfallsformuleringar, undersöktes hur skribenter på forumet skapade sanning och bemötte andras föreställningar om barnen. Resultat: Resultatet visade att ensamkommande barn omges av diskurserna de vuxna, barnen, våldtäktsmännen, de särbehandlade, de sexuellt utsatta samt diskursen om de biologiskt manliga könet. Diskurserna användes parallellt i talen och underbyggde argumenteringar på forumet. Skribenterna använde de studerade retoriska teknikerna för att skapa trovärdighet i uttalanden. Med särskilda uttrycksformer skapades fakta om ensamkommande barn.Background: Constructions of unaccompanied children have been researched to some extent. Concepts of the children have been studied in media and policy documents amongst others. How the children are constructed within an "everyday context", in form of an open online discussion forum (Flashback Forum), and how the constructions become credible, are regarded as under-researched. Aim: The aim of the present study was to identify different discourses concerning unaccompanied children on the Flashback Forum, with regard to their rhetorical organization. Discourse is meant as a way to talk about and understand the world that constructs an object or phenomenon in a particular way. Method: To answer the aim, a discursive psychological approach was used, which focuses on how credibility and truth are created in communication. Based on a theoretical model, including the four rhetorical techniques category entitlement, empirical repertoire, consensus and extreme case formulations, it was examined how the writers at the forum created truth and responded to others' beliefs about the children. Result: The results showed that unaccompanied children are surrounded by the discourses: the adults, the children, the rapists, the special treated, the sexually vulnerable and the discourse of the biologically male sex. Discourses were used in parallel in the speeches and to back up arguments at the forum. The writers used the studied rhetorical techniques to build credibility in the statements. With specific expression, facts about unaccompanied children were created.

I will also attempt to investigate what opportunities that are available to overrun different borders and how these opportunities affect the conditions of the various players. I will evaluate theories such as homosocialtet, hegemonic masculinity and normalization used by KAST (Köpare Av Sexuella Tjänster, the Swedish public support for clients of sexual services) and which are partially consolidated in studies published by KAST concerning issues related to internet based prostitution.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis we consider cinema’s representations of mental images. Our central concerns are the formal aspects of the presentation of memory and imagination, and the various functions which the different types of mental images perform. While along the way we engage with a number of expedient theories, on the whole the argument is free of any over-arching theoretical approach, instead focusing largely on the evidence of the wide range of films — from different eras, genres and national cinemas — with which we engage. We begin with a consideration of filmic representations of memory, tackling such questions as: What exactly is a flashback? What different functions do flashbacks perform? What is the relationship between flashback and the mental images of memory? Identifying an inadequacy in current terminology, we here introduce the concept of ‘act of memory’ in order to distinguish between representations of the past which constitute an analogue of the mental images of memory and more properly subjective representations of mental images. In Part II we develop a taxonomy of the major forms of imagination. Here our discussion of imagination draws on cognitive and phenomenological theories of imagination, and the chapter on dreams draws substantially on Freud. In our consideration of the functions of the various sorts of mental images we establish a series of character types who are prone to experiencing mental images. Throughout Part II we argue that representations of mental images are often closely related to themes of madness — that many representations of mental images can be understood as traces of madness.

This study examines how the taboo subject of suicide is communicated, perceived and experienced on the largest Swedish online discussion platform Flashback Forum. The aim is to describe and analyze how the subject is constructed and reconstructed in 2.484 suicide specific discussion posts initiated by suicidal individuals on the forum. The empirical material is based on 25 threads active during a one-year period. The sample was categorized by using an analytical tool designed by Malin Wreder (2007) based on concepts from Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse theory. Two conflicting approaches to suicide were identified. The suicide tolerant discourse views suicide as an accepted way out of prolonged suffering. The other suicide critical discourse has an opposing view. Within these discourses four key concepts (suicide, freedom, responsibility and future) was identified as nodal points. Frank’s theory of illness narratives was used to place the stories of the discussion participants within a larger theoretical framework. One conclusion is that the cultural preferred idea about suicide as a temporary curable condition is challenged by the suicide tolerant discourse. For a suicidal individual suffering can be experienced as eternal hence a reception with one-sided focus on restitution may hinder rather than help.

Full textAbstract:
Research Problem: The pressure for brands to stand out and at the same contribute to a better world is a constant battle in a competing digital media landscape. Advertising campaigns are ways for brands to separate themselves from their competition. In a recent campaign launched by Scandinavian Airlines (SAS) their advertising campaign What is truly Scandinavian? backfired and caused an active media audience to engage. SAS feared that their campaign got hijacked which resulted in a temporary withdrawal of their film. In light of the rise of online counterpublics and the upswing of so-called cancel culture this essay draws upon these concepts to analyse the reactions to SAS advertising campaign on the Swedish discussion forum Flashback. Aim: The study intends to examine how the reactions to SAS advertising campaign, What is truly Scandinavian?, can be understood as part of a counterpublic and a cancel culture on Flashback. Questions: (1) Which most prominent themes and reading positions can be distinguished among the reactions to SAS's advertising campaign in the selected Flashback thread? (2) How can the studied part of the Flashback thread be understood as a counterpublic? (3) How can the studied part of the Flashback thread be understood as part of a cancel culture? Theories: Active audience theory, counterpublics, cancel culture The empirical material: A specific Flashback thread with a selection of the first 96 posts. Methods: A combination of netnography, qualitative content analysis and reception analysis. Results: Primary themes identified in the thread are Culture and identity, Boycott and other consequences and Negative reactions and emotions. The majority of the Flashback posts are considered to be cynical readings of SAS advertising campaign. Sympathetic and skeptical readings were not as prominent. The reactions in the Flashback thread can be considered a counterpublic where a cancel culture takes place. Significance: Further understanding of an audience reaction and response to a specific advertising campaign in relation to counterpublics and cancel culture. Results on a current case.

Full textAbstract:
Introduktion: Sedan mars 2020 pågår en global pandemi efter att SARS-CoV-2 tog världen med storm och sjukdomen covid-19 utvecklades. Sjukdomen ger främst symtom på luftvägarna, vilka varierar i grad från milda till att ibland kräva intensivvårdsbehandling. Intensivt arbete under året har lett till att flera vaccin numera finns att tillgå. Pandemin har dessutom genererat i en infodemi, vilket innebär att informationsspridning har eskalerat och digitaliseringen har varit högst bidragande. För att komma till bukt med falsk och alarmerande informationsspridning behövs målgruppsanalyser genomföras i syfte att rikta och förbättra kommunikationsarbetet. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur aktiva deltagare på Flashback Forum talade om och förstod covid-19-pandemin. Metod: Foruminlägg från Flashback Forum samlades in och analyserades med diskursanalys och Foucaults teori. Resultat: Analysarbetet genererade i fyra olika diskurser: Spekulationsdiskursen, känslodiskursen, samhällskritiska diskursen och diskrimineringsdiskursen. Analysen frambringade även vad som togs för givet i diskurerna samt vad som osyndliggjordes genom dessa. Slutsats: Fynden i detta arbetet visar på vikten av att vara närvarande på digitala plattformar, nyttan av hur kunskapen kring dessa plattformar och diskurserna som förekommer kan användas för att nå ut till nya och fler målgrupper i kommunikationsarbetet.Introduction: Since March 2020, a global pandemic is underway after SARS-CoV-2 took the world by storm and the COVID-19 disease developed. The disease mainly causes symptoms of the respiratory tract, which vary in degree from mild to sometimes requiring intensive care treatment. Intensive work during the year has led to several vaccines now available. In addition, the pandemic has generated an infodemic, which means that information dissemination has escalated and digitalization has been highly contributing. In order to overcome false and alarming information dissemination, target group analyses need to be carried out in order to target and improve communication work. Aim: The purpose of the study was to investigate how active participants on the Flashback Forum talked about and understood the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: Forum posts from Flashback Forum were collected and analyzed using discourse analysis and Foucault's theory. Results: The analysis generated in four different discourses: the speculation discourse, the emotion discourse, the socially critical discourse and the discrimination discourse. The analysis also produced what was taken for granted in the discourses and what was indisclosed by them. Conclusion: The findings in this work show the importance of being present on digital platforms, the benefits of how the knowledge about these platforms and the discourses that occur can be used to reach new and more target groups in the communication work.

Full textAbstract:
Studien är en kvalitativ ansats inom det socialvetenskapliga forskningsområdet som syftar till att studera hur internetdroger marknadsförs på hemsidan MysteriousPlants, hur medlemmar på det sociala internetforumet Flashback diskuterar kring ämnet internetdroger samt att undersöka hur myndighetspersoner arbetar för att motverka internetdroger. Studien har genomförts med hjälp av retrospektiva observationer av MysteriousPlants och Flashback samt av intervjuer med myndighetspersoner. Studiens teoretiska utgångspunkter består av hälsopsykologi, ekologisk systemteori och interaktionsteori. I resultatet framkommer hur MysteriousPlants marknadsför sina varor. En slutsats som framkommer i analysen är att marknadsföringen på hemsidor som säljer internetdroger inte skiljer sig avsevärt från internetsidor som säljer andra varor. Det framkommer hur medlemmar på Flashback interagerar med varandra i diskussionerna. En slutsats som har kunnat dras utifrån detta är att forumet Flashback bidrar till en mer öppen interaktion angående internetdroger jämfört med i den fysiska världen. I resultatet framgår det också hur myndighetspersonerna i sina professioner arbetar utifrån rådande lagstiftning och med befintliga metoder, det finns både nationella och internationella strategier. En slutsats är att internetdroger är ett relativt nytt fenomen och ett växande problem nationellt som globalt.

Full textAbstract:
This essay is a study of how English is used in a Swedish discussion forum called Flashback. The mixing of two languages when speaking or writing is called Code switching. Code switching often occurs in bilingual societies. In Sweden it is possible to say that English is a second language due to the daily encounter with the language through education, but also through different media. The daily encounter with English and the number of English loan words in Swedish might be a reason why code switching exists in Sweden. The material that was analyzed in this essay was collected from Flashback and analyzed with a method based on Sharp’s (2001) study of spoken language. The aim of this study was to see how often and in what way the users on Flashback code switched between Swedish and English. The results showed that even though English was used in the discussion, Swedish was the main language. Most of the code switches that were found in the material occurred in mixed units, in other words English was mixed with Swedish.

The purpose of this paper was to examine the communication around the subject of suicide on the Swedish online message board Flashback Forum. By doing a case study and a critical discourse analysis, we wanted to get answers about how the conversation between individuals who are suicidal and members on Flashback appeared, and if there were any distinct discourses to be seen in the conversation. Three threads started by individuals with suicidal thoughts were chosen to be analysed, which all in all were 474 answers. The result of the analysis showed three distinct discourses in the posts written by members on Flashback: preventive, critical and pro suicide.Syftet med denna uppsats var att undersöka hur kommunikationen om ämnet självmord på det svenska internetforumet Flashback Forum. Genom att göra en fallstudie, samt en kritisk diskursanalys ville vi får svar på hur samtalet mellan personer med självmordstankar och de bemötande såg ut, och om det gick att se några tydliga diskurser i samtalen. Tre olika trådar skapade av personer med självmordstankar valdes ut för analys, vilket gav 474 svar. Analysen resulterade i att det gick att tyda tre synliga diskurser i inläggen skrivna av medlemmarna på Flashback: preventiv, kritisk- och prosuicid diskurs.

Full textAbstract:
Flashback is one of the most well known internet forums in Sweden. People visit the site to discuss different topics, to share information, to express opinions or to read posts by others. On Flashback’s ‘crime forum’ the users gather to share information but also to express opinions. These discussions have a tendency to become heated and with the increased wave of gangrelated violence and shootings in Malmö, Sweden 2018, forums like Flashback play an important role in what information is available to the public. This case was used to form the study’s main questions; How are facts used in threads and what are their sources? How do users interpret these events and how is it expressed through reasoning and personal opinions? How are opinions, behaviour and virtual community formed in an environment based on anonymity? To form a case and further investigate these questions we have organized different Flashback posts related to the Malmö-shootings and categorized them into themes. The interpretations would later on show various conclusions. Some conclusions were predicted, while other conclusions were shown when analyzing the material. The results showed that flashback-users use facts when sharing a link, to strengthen the shared information, to support theories about the case and sometimes when discussing the victims or suspects involved. How users interpret the events on Flashback is based on the intention of the individual. Some users are more likely to discuss political aspects. Other users intend to discuss the matter with an humours tone, these posts can be seen as an disinhibition effect (Suler 2004). Identity has shown to be a useful factor when analyzing an internet-forum. A conclusion from analyzing identity shows that behaviours are encouraged when the fear of being exposed is averted. Overall the result shows that the foundation of the virtual community on Flashback is the information that is shared between users.

Full textAbstract:
This study involves a survey of the writers’ opinions on the internet forum Flashback about the national norms coverage. The study also contains the internet forum writers proposed action strategies for supply when living on the national norm. Thereby this study is aiming to visualize the living situation when living on the national standards. Previous research shows how the national norm does not seem to live up to a reasonable standard of living as well as the national norm has not evolved with changes in society. Further the previous research shows how difficult it can be to live on a narrow economy which connects to one of the study’s questions about coping strategies. There are shortcomings in previous research on the study’s topic since previous research focuses little on people’s opinions. Accordingly the authors’ whishes to highlight the writers’ opinions on the internet forum Flashback through a quantitative study content analysis. This study has chosen to analyze the data and the results using Bourdieu´s theories about the social room, field, habitus and the forms of capital. These theories are intended to be useful in interpreting the study’s results. The result shows that the writers believe that the national norm is to narrow and does not fulfill all the needs entries. Despite this result the writers believe it is possible to achieve a reasonable standard of living when living on welfare benefits. These results can be contradictory and therefore interesting which is why the authors question how these views emerged. The contradictory results create an additional finding which is that the writers on the internet forum may not have understood how it is meant to live on the national norm.

Full textAbstract:
Denna studie belyser hur positiva attityder till sexköp relaterar till kulturella föreställningar om manligt och kvinnligt. Tidigare forskning har visat att gruppen sexköpare består av en heterogen skara av män, och studier av dessa mäns bevekelsegrunder för att köpa sex har också genomförts. Forskning har även lyft fram hur sexköp normaliseras när män interagerar och samarbetar med varandra på prostitutionsforum. I denna studie åskådliggörs istället hur sexköpande män upprätthåller en positiv hållning till sexköp i en kontext där ett starkt motstånd mot sexköpet föreligger. Materialet som undersöks utgörs av en diskussionstråd som är hämtad från det internetbaserade forumet Flashback Forum, och som går under rubriken ”Varför köper ni sex?”. I studien tillämpas Hirdmans teori om genussystem samt Connells teori om hegemonisk maskulinitet, och genom den kritiska diskurspsykologins metodologi analyseras hur bilden av sexköp som en legitim handling sammanvävs med såväl könsspecifika normer som med sexköparnas känsloliv. Resultatet visar att framställningen av sexköpet som en legitim handling utgörs av en samling motsägelsefulla föreställningar som aktualiseras i en dynamisk process, vilken anpassas i förhållande till det motstånd som sexköpet möter. Sexköparna ger uttryck för en maskulinitet som inbegriper ett berättigande till kvinnans kropp, och den prostituerade kvinnan uppfattas vara ett bruksföremål på en marknad. Samtidigt beskrivs sexköpet som en frivillig affärstransaktion mellan jämlika parter. Männens förhållande till sina sexköp och till kvinnor präglas av känslor. De känner sig förorättade och förfördelade på det sexuella planet i relation till kvinnor, men samtidigt upplever de sig själva som altruistisk välgörare i bemärkelsen att de hjälper kvinnor genom att köpa sex.

Full textAbstract:
The evolution of injection processes toward more fuel efficient and less polluting combustion systems tend to make them more prone to critical events such as Thermo-Acoustic Instabilities, Blow-Off and Flash-Back. Moreover, the addition of Di-Hydrogen as a secondary or as the main fuel is in discussion by aeronautical engines manufacturers. It drastically modifies the stability of the system and thus raise several interrogations concerning the multiplicity of its use. Being able to predict critical phenomena becomes a necessity in order to efficiently operate a system without having to pre-test every configuration and without sacrificing the safety of the user. Based on Deep Learning techniques and more specifically Speech Recognition, the following study presents the steps to develop a tool able to successfully detect and translate precursors of instability of an aeronautical grade swirled injector confined in a tubular combustion chamber. The promising results obtained lead to proposals for future transpositions to real-size systems.Utvecklingen av injektionsprocesser mot mer bränsleeffektiva och mindre förorenande förbränningssystem, tenderar att göra dem mer benägna att utsättas för kritiska händelser som Thermo-Acoustic Instabilities, Blow-Off och Flash-Back. Dessutom diskuterar flygmotorkonstruktörer möjligheten att använda Dihydrogen som sekundärt eller som huvudbränsle. Det modifierar drastiskt systemets stabilitet och det väcker frågan hur man kan använda det effektivt. Att kunna förutsäga kritiska fenomen blir en nödvändighet för att använda ett system utan att behöva att på förhand testa varje konfiguration och utan att reducera användarens säkerhet. Baserat på Deep-Learning-tekniker och Speech-Recognition-tekniker, presenterar följande studie stegen för att utveckla ett verktyg som kan upptäcka och översätta föregångare till instabilitet hos en swirled flygmotorerinsprutningspump som är innesluten i en förbränningskammare. De lovande resultaten leder till idéer om hur man kan anpassa det här verktyg till ett system i verklig storlek.
