This thesis analyzes the implications of regulation on the transformation to a Digital Economy. A gap analysis shows that Czech Republic is significantly lagging behind in terms of connectivity, which is an essential precondition for a transformation to a digital age. The regulator promotes the entry of the new player as a solution for this situation. However, a simulation based on Herfindahl Hirschman Index does not support this view. This outcome is further supported by the results of correlation between market competitiveness and network advancement, which does not suggest any relationship. These findings are in line with empirical evidence from EU markets, which prove that a three-operator market is efficient and delivers attractive competitive services to the customers and society. The root cause of this situation lies in the current telecommunications regulation, which failed to create a sustainable digital ecosystem for the transition to a digital economy. This paper concludes, that regulatory framework needs to be redefined to address new challenges ahead. The regulatory priority should be shifted from service focus to encouraging long-term connectivity investments, differentiation, and competition.

Denna uppsats syftar till att få en generell uppfattning av hur svenska medier rapporterar om vildmarksbränder som sker i ett annat land. I vårt fall fokuserar vi på bränderna i Australien säsongen 2019/2020 och hur svenska medier rapporterade om dessa med särskilt intresse för gestaltningsformer, berättartekniker och på vilken nivå rapporteringen skedde. I samband med fysiska kriser, som vid isolerade naturkatastrofer, är det vanligt att rapportera inom ramen för en nationell medielogik. Men i en globaliserad värld där det krävs lösningar på en transnationell nivå argumenterar medieforskare för att journalistiken behöver en global utblick i sin rapportering. Bränderna tros bli värre till följd av klimatförändringarna och den globala uppvärmningen (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2019). Därför betonar även vissa forskare vikten av en hållbar journalistik som inkluderar samtliga aspekter av ekologiskt, ekonomiskt och socialt. Dessutom kan krisjournalistik behöva kliva ur sin nationella skrud. Denna uppsats använder en kvantitativ innehållsanalys på fyra av Sveriges största tidningar. Resultatet visar att medierna rapporterade på en nationell nivå där gestaltningsformer som fokuserar på mänskliga aspekter var vanligast. Rapporteringen visar symtom på en styrning av medielogiken där bland annat personifiering och konkretisering identifierades. Däremot visar resultatet att klimatförändringarna nämndes i samma kontext som bränderna i cirka 40 procent av fallen. Jämfört med tidigare forskning är det en ökning. Dock misslyckades rapporteringen att implementera en global utblick och visar förhållandevis få symtom på en global journalistik.

In this thesis, different types of PVT (photovoltaic-thermal collectors) for three different farms in Europe will be studied, as part of the RES4LIVE project from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Action programme. A suitable renewable energy system will be proposed for each farm, considering the temperature range requirement and the climate conditions in each farm. In addition, three simulation tools that will be used, namely, WINSUN, Collector Energy Performance Tool (CEPT) and Scenocalc, will be evaluated and compared. The PVT systems combine the production of electrical and thermal energy. The combination of these two technologies can result in higher electrical efficiency due to the cooling effect of the fluid in the thermal part. Other technologies that form part of this study include the concentrating photovoltaic (CPV) and concentrated photovoltaic thermal (CPVT) systems. There are two types of flat PVTs, unglazed and glazed. The advantages and disadvantages of each system will be disclosed in the section on literature review. In addition, the operation of the concentrated collectors have been compared with the flat PVT collectors. Three simulation tools are being compared in this project and the most widely used tool is Scenocalc, the free tool supported by the European Commission. In the results section, the inputs for each simulation tool are explained, starting with the weather files that were taken at the same time for all the simulation tools so that the outputs could be compared. These results will be shown numerically for each farm and compared in tables and represented in graphs to decide which one is best for each location. The outcomes have shown that Scenocalc has a very different thermal result compared with the other tools in the case of the flat collectors. On the other hand, WINSUN has resulted to be a suitable simulating tool for a first approach to the production of the different technologies. In the case of CEPT, this program is best fitted for concentrated collectors since it takes into account both the thermal and electrical IAMs, whereas Scenocalc only considers the thermal IAMs.

Strategic culture is a recognised concept among researchers within the field of War Studies although it is not particularly well known in wider circles. Researchers have not been able to agree on an exact definition of the concept but there is agreement that the concept of strategic culture can contribute to an understanding of the gradual and long-term changes in a country´s defence strategy. This study investigates to what extent the strategic culture of the cold war period has influenced Swedish defence strategy in the first two decades of the 21st century, using Biehl et al analytical framework of strategic culture. The empirical material used for data collection consists of the Swedish government defence bill and the Swedish Armed Forces’ Perspective Study from the first two decades of the 21st century. The overall result shows a significant degree of influence from the strategic culture of the cold war period on Swedish defence strategy during the first two decades of this century. The only clear exception identified by the study concerns views on the relationship with NATO and EU.
