  1. 31. 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.

  3. 32. Analysis of energy efficient heat and lighting systems in a subarctic greenhouse

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : William Sigvardsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Energy efficiency; Sub-arctic greenhouses; Energy measures; Greenhouse climate control; Greenhouse technology; CFD;

    Abstract : This report studies a subarctic greenhouse located in Nikkala, Sweden called Nikkala handelsträdgård. Through a visit to the greenhouse coupled with the creation of two simulation models this study investigates the differences in energy demand with water-carried and air-carried heating systems, high pressure sodium lights and Light emitting diode lights and insulation in parts of the greenhouse without a active cultivation.

    Author : Zhaohui Cheng; [2023]
    Keywords : polar mesoscale cyclones; polar lows; ERA5; CARRA;

    Abstract : Polar mesoscale cyclones (PMCs) are low-pressure systems that form in polar regions. Their small size and short lifespan pose challenges for coarse resolution models in capturing PMCs and their associated air-sea mass and energy transfer. To address the influence of resolution on PMCs, a comparison between a higher resolution dataset (CARRA with 2. READ MORE
