Who Brings Which Peace?
No full textThis study examines the effect of biased versus neutral mediation on the content of peace agreements. The author argues that neutral mediators, who are engaged primarily because of their interest to end the war, will have incentives to hasten the reaching of an agreement to the expense of its quality. By contrast, biased mediators, seeking to protect their protégés, will take care to ensure that there are stipulations in an agreement guaranteeing the interest of their side or use their particular access and leverage to make their side agree to costly concessions. Biased mediation processes are therefore more likely than neutral mediation processes to lead to elaborated institutional arrangements that are generally considered conducive to democracy and durable peace, such as power sharing, third-party security guarantees, and justice provisions. Empirical analysis, covering the 1989-2004 period and building on data from 124 peace agreements, supports these claims.</p

Digital rekonstruktion av svetsar för brottmekanisk viktfunktionsanalys
No full textThewelding industry today is built upon standards which are based on rigorous testing and analysis of welded specimens. These standards are utilized in production together with typically measurements taken by hand using different tools. Systems such as Winteria have been developed, whichutilizes high resolution data over the weld geometry. The Precision Reliability through Digital Weld Inspection for Structural Efficiency (PREDWISE) project aims to develop advanced fatigue strength prediction models using digital twins of welded components based on high resolution dataof real weld geometry. This master thesis lays one of the first steps in thePREDWISE project with an aim focused on using weld surface geometrydata to create digital twins, to evaluate them with FE methods. A methodwas developed which creates robust two-dimensional FEM models of buttwelds using generalized weld geometry data which mimics the Winteria system. Using these digital twins, different parametric studies were conductedwith varying idealized weld geometries. The parameters which were studied were the weld angle and weld radius. The results which were of interestwere the stress concentration factors, fatigue life estimates as well as thestress intensity factor for each weld geometry.Dagens svetsindustri är byggd på standarder som är baserade på tillförlitligtestning och analys av svetsade komponenter.

"You Cannot Keep Me": The Shakespearean Artist in Three of Isak Dinesen's Tales
No full textIsak Dinesen’s tale “Tempests” and her collection Winter’s Tales pluralize the titles of The
Tempest and The Winter’s Tale, respectively, but few critics have discussed the author’s
engagement with Shakespeare at length. Both of Dinesen’s source texts thematize the
relationship between art and life, and, in this paper, I consider how “Tempests,” “The Young Man
with the Carnation,” and “A Consolatory Tale” adapt Shakespeare’s dramatic presentation of this
topic into narrative form. “Tempests,” I argue, reintroduces the tension between artistic
production and personal relationships which artists perceive in The Tempest, yet Dinesen adds
her own insight that reflection on this tension can generate new art. I then track hints of both this
tension and Dinesen’s insight in her earlier tales “The Young Man with the Carnation” and “A
Consolatory Tale.” These tales add nuance to her presentation of art and life in “Tempests,” I
note, by depicting the unification of artistic production and personal relationships in a more
compelling way. Along the same lines, and drawing upon Shakespeare’s Winter’s Tale, these
works indicate that art has value because it can reflect its audience’s sense of their current
situation, transform familiar stories, and surprise us in a quasi-supernatural way. I conclude by
suggesting that “A Consolatory Tale” takes these points even further by presenting a related
source of art’s value that Shakespeare’s play does not make explicit: art’s ability to create
sympathy between author and reader

Utmattningsanalys av additivt tillverkad titankomponent
No full textPlastavfall är en utmaning som många ingenjörer måste bemöta. Ett alternativ till plast för att tillverka engångsprodukter är papper. Mallar och formverktyg behövs för att göra dessa produkter. I denna rapport analyseras spänningar i och deformationer av ett sådant formverktyg bestående av en perforerad additivt tillverkad titanplatta och ett nylonstöd som levererar extra styrka och styvhet till verktyget. Nylonunderlaget är liksom titanplattan perforerad, dock med mycket större hål och större hålavstånd vilket underlättar borttransport av fukt. Vidare betraktas effekten av varierande storlekar på nylonunderlagets hål på titanplattans spänningar och deformationer, samt om utmattningsbrott kan uppstå i titanplattan. Lastfallet som undersöks är den del i tillverkningsprocessen där verktyget utsätts för vakuum på undersidan av verktyget vilket skapar en tryckskillnad mellan ovan- och undersidan. Detta inträffar i en suspension av vatten och pappersmassa. Vakuumet används för att suga vattnet genom verktyget så att fibrerna samlas på ytan av titankomponenten. Materialen i verktyget är titanlegering Ti-6Al-4V av grad 5 och nylon PA2200. Genom att betrakta ett av hålen i nylonstödet skapades en förenklad modell för lastfallet som undersöktes. Modellen jämförs med Kirchhoffs plattteori och kärnpunkten i analysen är att den perforerade titanplattan ersätts med en homogenplatta med en elasticitetsmodul som uppskattades med Mori-Tanakas metod. Modellen skapades och undersöktes i ANSYS Workbench 2020 R2. De erhållna resultaten för spänningarna visades vara långt under de kritiska värdena för plasticitet och brott för materialet. Deformationerna var av storleksorningen mikrometer [μm] vilket kan anses vara litet jämfört med titanplattans tjocklek som var av storleksordningen millimeter [mm]. Resultaten från ett Haigh-diagram visade att sannolikheten för utmattningsbrott är mycket låg och säkerhetsmarginalen därmed stor. Verktyget bör således kunna användas för att tillverka stora serier av produkter utan att försämra slutproduktens kvalité och behov av byte eller reparation av verktyget.
Disrupting Eating Spaces in Isak Dinesen’s 'Babette’s Feast'
No full textUp until recently, the bilingual tales of Danish author Isak Dinesen have been critically appreciated and discussed mostly in relation to their narrative complexity and dramatic theatricality. Focusing on her well-known story “Babette’s Feast”, this essay draws on Jacques Derrida’s understanding of supplementarity, on feminist insights into embodiment and recent new materialist theories to address, instead, the place of enfleshed materiality in her revisionist articulations of gender and community. It calls attention to how food, as live matter, impacts through the organic process of eating, the subject’s movement in and perception of physical, social and gender spaces, contributing thus to recent scholarly engagement with the significance of corporeality and material agency for her fictions’ sexual and cultural politics. Implicit in her re-assertion of the material, as it is argued, is Dinesen’s sharp critique of the Protestant valorisation of spirit over matter and the masculinist assumptions built into this spatial configuration
Glacier : guided locally constrained counterfactual explanations for time series classification
No full textIn machine learning applications, there is a need to obtain predictive models of high performance and, most importantly, to allow end-users and practitioners to understand and act on their predictions. One way to obtain such understanding is via counterfactuals, that provide sample-based explanations in the form of recommendations on which features need to be modified from a test example so that the classification outcome of a given classifier changes from an undesired outcome to a desired one. This paper focuses on the domain of time series classification, more specifically, on defining counterfactual explanations for univariate time series. We propose Glacier, a model-agnostic method for generating locally-constrained counterfactual explanations for time series classification using gradient search either on the original space or on a latent space that is learned through an auto-encoder. An additional flexibility of our method is the inclusion of constraints on the counterfactual generation process that favour applying changes to particular time series points or segments while discouraging changing others. The main purpose of these constraints is to ensure more reliable counterfactuals, while increasing the efficiency of the counterfactual generation process. Two particular types of constraints are considered, i.e., example-specific constraints and global constraints. We conduct extensive experiments on 40 datasets from the UCR archive, comparing different instantiations of Glacier against three competitors. Our findings suggest that Glacier outperforms the three competitors in terms of two common metrics for counterfactuals, i.e., proximity and compactness. Moreover, Glacier obtains comparable counterfactual validity compared to the best of the three competitors. Finally, when comparing the unconstrained variant of Glacier to the constraint-based variants, we conclude that the inclusion of example-specific and global constraints yields a good performance while demonstrating the trade-off between the different metrics. © The Author(s) 2024.This work was funded in part by the Digital Futures cross-disciplinary research centre in Sweden, and the EXTREMUM collaborative project ( https://datascience.dsv.su.se/projects/extremum.html ).</p
