  1. 1. The swing of the pendulum: Sweden's pivot to NATO : A case of small states' shift in security policy

    University essay from Försvarshögskolan

    Author : Irena Bonnier; [2024]
    Keywords : Security and defence policy; Sweden; NATO; Small states studies; Deterrence; Shelter theory s political military dimension; Realism; Foreign Policy Change; Domestic determinants of small states security policy; Process-tracing; Säkerhets- och försvarspolitik; Sverige; NATO; Småstatsteori; Avskräckning; Vindskyddsteorins politiska militära dimension; Realism; Utrikespolitisk förändring; Inhemska påverkansfaktorer på småstaters säkerhetspolitik; Processpårning;

    Abstract : Sweden is the only state in the Baltic Sea region currently not under NATO protection, which puts the state in a particularly vulnerable position. On 18 May 2022, Sweden officially deemed NATO alignment a more effective option of security strategy in projecting deterrence and dealing with the security challenges the state is facing, compared to a strategy of non-alignment which has been Sweden’s security posture for over 200 years.

  3. 2. THE COUPLING OF A DOUBLE QUANTUM DOT TO MICROWAVE PHOTONS

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Mohamed Abrash; [2023]
    Keywords : Quantum computing; Qubit; Double quantum dot DQD ; Microwave resonator; Quantum integrated circuits; Sweet spots; Hybrid quantum circuits.; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this study, we derive a mathematical description of a double quantum dot (DQD) embedded in a microwave resonator starting from classical electrostatics. DQDs are a promising platform for building quantum computers and have important applications in quantum sensing and the study of light-matter interactions. READ MORE

  4. 3. Lilliputians Amongst Gullivers in the Arctic Region : A qualitative content analysis applying small state theory to the Nordic states' national security strategies in the Arctic region.

    University essay from Försvarshögskolan

    Author : Mikaela Trouvé; [2023]
    Keywords : Arctic region; small state theory; Nordic states; security strategy; qualitative content analysis;

    Abstract : With the aim of contributing to the theoretical discussion of small state behaviour, this thesis investigates the Nordic state’s security strategies concerning the Arctic region. The applied theoretical framework is based upon a traditional state-centric understanding of security to investigate if the predicted behaviour derived from small state theory can be captured in the Nordic states' security strategies in the Arctic region.

  5. 4. Particle Simulation and Optimization of a Relativistic Magnetron for HPM Applications

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Fasta tillståndets elektronik

    Author : Wilhelm Thunberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Relativistic Magnetron; FOI Magnetron; TE11; HPM; High Power Microwaves; Particle in cell; MAgic3d;

    Abstract : A relativistic magnetron (RM) is a high-power microwave (HPM) source. The main objective of the RM is to generate directed electromagnetic pulses with high power, which can be used in e.g. HPM weapons and for electromagnetic compatibility testing. READ MORE

  6. 5. Gas in Scattering Media Absorption Spectroscopy in Large Geometries: Towards Monitoring Oxygen in Adult Lungs

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Förbränningsfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Anna Brandt; [2022]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : GAs in Scattering Media Absorption Spectroscopy (GASMAS) is a technique to study free gas inside strongly scattering bulk-materials. GASMAS is successful in safely measuring oxygen in lungs of neonates, with low-power tuneable diode-laser spectroscopy at 760 nm. READ MORE
