This essay examines ideas about knowledge and cultivation (a word used in Sweden to describe integration of knowledge in personality and judgement) in two socialist periodicals during the 1980’s and early 90’s. KRUT, translated Critical Education Review, was founded in 1977. Inspired by John Dewey’s educational philosophy they argued that activity is the key for pupils’ learning. Four years later Äpplet, in Sweden meaning “the apple”, entered the debate estimating school to go back to basics: to let teachers teach and pupils listen.     My theoretical and methodological framework is discourse analysis. Language is viewed as an ever-changing structure where presence is determined by absence. Knowledge is certain, as Äpplet argue, in contrary to relative, as KRUT argue. These opposite perspectives follow historical patterns that can be used as support for different interpretations of socialism. Äpplet’s writers describe knowledge in what you may call a traditional manner, as a quantity alone, meaning the politicians’ task is to spread it to the working class, no differently from how they have always done to the upper classes.    But this notion of knowledge is at the time challenged by the increasingly accepted understanding of it as personal. KRUT followed a socialist movement that in educational reforms saw an opening towards an equal society. Their writers accordingly criticized the idea of objectivity to reproduce the bourgeois’ interests and world view. But absolute relativism combined with pragmatics lead to the paradox that knowledge is solely subjective and still is something (subjective). Writers in Äpplet and other socialists have accused the idea of relativity to be contra productive as it only diminishes the socialist cause.     As knowledge is viewed exclusively as a means in KRUT, there are no apparent differences between their definitions of knowledge and cultivation. The same inconsistency appears in Äpplet, but turned on its head, where knowledge and cultivation are both discussed as properties, which implicates that some are cultivated, whilst others are not. That these statements are only meaningful as antitheses mean they equaled each other out rather than challenging the political educational system. The debate arose in an environment where knowledge was politically marked as a question for macro-economics. It has been since.

Sedan människor började använda energetiska material har risken för oönskade explosioner alltid varit ett problem. Många produktionsanläggningar och förråd har förstörts på grund av oönskad antändning energetiska material. Idag är nitrocellulosa en komponent i de flesta kanonkrut. En negativ egenskap hos nitrocellulosa är att den bryts ner över tid och eftersom det är en naturprodukt så kommer det alltid att finnas en viss skillnad mellan olika batcher. Genom att ersätta nitrocellulosa med en produkt som inte bryts ner men som fortfarande ger liknande övriga egenskaper kan kanonkrutssäkerheten öka. Termoelaster undersöktes då de är smältbara och tåliga. Smältpunkt och glastransitionstemperaturen bestämdes med differentiell svepkalorimetri, viskositeten mättes vid flera temperaturer med en reometer och mekaniska egenskaper utvärderades i en dragprovningsmaskin. De två mest lovande polymererna blandades sedan med hexamin som är ett inert material för att simulera ett kompositkrut. Agglomerering av hexamin undveks genom tillsats av små mängder pyrogen kiseldioxid. Fyllnadsgraden i systemet nådde 70 viktprocent hexamin i en polymer. Kompositmaterialen dragprovades och resultaten jämfördes med motsvarande data för två nitrocellulosabaserat krut. Kompositmaterialen hade lägre brottgräns än det ena nitrocellulosabaserade krutet men högre brottgräns än det andra nitrocellulosabaserade krutet. Kompositmaterialen hade högre E-modul än det nitrocellulosabaserade krutet men lägre brottöjning. Resultaten är lovande och visar att termoelasterna har stor potential att användas i kompositkrut. Med fortsatt undersökning och optimering av kompositmaterialen kan ett säkrare alternativ till nitrocellulosa skapas.

Those theses describe torsional stiffness car chassis. Here is write short knowledge about various type of measuring, explain impact torsional stiffness on car handling. Target of this theses is work out structural proposal of device for measuring torsional stiffness car chassis, suitable method of measuring, calculate measurement mistake and provisional cost calculation.

The content of the thesis is familiarization with the aircraft TL4000 and technical parameters wings. The work includes calculation of flight envelopes as prescribed CS 23 in three weight configurations and load calculation for all points of the envelope. The work is carried out structural design wings and its elements. The stress analysis of individual design elements wing is designed to specific parts of the reserve factor. Part of the thesis is the design and methodology for the static strength test wing that required a prescription for that category of aircraft (CS 23).

This master’s thesis is focused on a design of the formula student’s anti-roll bar. The beginning of the thesis is devoted to the introduction of the anti-roll bar function and the explanation of its effect on a vehicle including the analysis of various constructions. Second part deals with the Formula Student competition. There is the analysis of the formula Ford’s anti-roll bar as a starting point for our own design. In the section which deals with the anti-roll bar design several alternatives are designed, the stress analysis of components are made and multi body system models are developed for final solutions. These models serve for further analyses of driving characteristics of the vehicle.
