1. A Solidarity Model of Foreign Aid? : A case study of the Olof Palme International Center’s projects in South Africa
University essay from Högskolan Väst/Institutionen för ekonomi och itAbstract : This bachelor thesis is a qualitative case study of whether the Olof Palme International Center’s (OPC) model of foreign aid, as a Swedish non-governmental organisation (NGO), is understood by leading figures of the three types of participants involved in the model; the OPC, Swedish member organisations, and, in this case, South African partner organisations, as taking either a solidarity- or charity-approach to foreign aid, in both theory and practise. The theories of Mutual Aid and International Solidarity are used to construct two opposing “solidarity” and “charity” models of foreign aid, against which the OPC model is compared. READ MORE

3. Deep Neural Networks as SurrogateModels for Fuel Performance Codes
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad kärnfysikAbstract : The core component of a nuclear power plant is the reactor and the fuel rods that supply it with fission fuel. Efficient and safe energy extraction is thus highly dependent on the reactor design and the conditions of the fuel rods. To anticipate high-quality operation and potential risks in advance, one must perform simulations on the fuel rods. READ MORE
