  1. 11. A Question of Taste : Psychoanalytic Explorations of Aesthetic Dislike and Bourdieu’s Distinction

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Filosofiska institutionen

    Author : Marco Rep; [2021]
    Keywords : Bourdieu; distinction; Ferenczi; Freud; jouissance; Lacan; objet a; psychoanalysis; symptom; taste.;

    Abstract : This dissertation approaches the question of taste and aesthetic dislike from a combined sociological and psychoanalytic perspective. Building on Pierre Bourdieu’s sociology of art (most notably La distinction from 1979), I attempt to reconcile a view of aesthetic judgments as acts of distinction with a legitimate subjective dimension of aesthetic enjoyment.

  3. 12. Are Prices in Charge of Congestion? An Empirical Study of Increased Congestion Charge and Traffic in Stockholm

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

    Author : Sara Svensson; Anna Rehme; [2021]
    Keywords : Congestion charge; Traffic demand elasticity; Peak-load pricing; Ramsey pricing; Negative externalities; Business and Economics;

    Abstract : Economic theory often suggests congestion pricing to smooth the demand for traffic from periods of high demand to periods with lower demand. However, the real-world implementation of con- gestion charges remains limited. This study investigates the relationship between time-varying congestion charges and traffic volumes. READ MORE

  4. 13. Micro-architectured materials for noise and vibration control in high voltage products – design and modelling

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad mekanik

    Author : Alec Chamberlain; [2021]
    Keywords : Microarchitectured; lattice; elasticity; viscoelasticity; computational; homogenization;

    Abstract : Many Hitachi ABB Power Grids (HAPG) products vibrate and emit noise, but legal limitations of these parameters fuel the development of energy absorption methods used on products. Methods such as Constrained Layer Damping (CLD). READ MORE

  5. 14. Negative energy elasticity and a model for the behavior of the residual strain in doubly cross-linked gels fabricated by shear strain

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Polymerkemi

    Author : Therese You; [2020]
    Keywords : Polymer gel; Tetra-PEG; hydrogels; doubly cross-linked gels; shear modulus; energy elasticity;

    Abstract : Doubly cross-linked gels were fabricated based on tetra-poly(ethylene glycol) (Tetra-PEG) by shear strain. These are gels with two network structures present in the same polymeric network. The second network structure is introduced by applying a mechanical field to the first natural network structure.

  6. 15. The Hanging Rope: A Convex Optimization Problem in the Calculus of Variations

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

    Author : Erik Steen; [2020]
    Keywords : Elasticity theory; non-linear materials; calculus of variation; convex analysis; Legendre transform; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : We study the problem first introduced by Verma and Keller in 1984 of how to taper a heavy rope such that its elongation is minimized. The problem is stated as an optimization problem of a functional J[w]. Specifically we provide a proof of optimality for the solution using traditional convex optimization techniques. READ MORE
