Falklandskrigen

Abstract

On the 2nd of April 1982, the United Kingdom found itself at war after the surprise Argentine invasion of the remote Falkland Islands. The UK took sovereignty over the islands in 1833, much to Argentina’s dismay, and the Falklands remain a British colony to this day. From discovery to conquest, the following assignment examines the historical events leading up to the Falklands war in order to shed some light on the cause of Argentina’s sudden invasion. Due to the unshakable resolve of a determined Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, and the resourcefulness of the British Armed forces, the UK was victorious. This assignment includes a text analysis of an article, which explains just how important a role the Falklands war played in Thatcher’s career, ensuring her premiership for a further 8 years. The text analysis includes, amongst other things, a summary, and a look at the linguistic and communicative tools used. Consideration has been taken throughout this assignment as to the credibility of the sources used. [Læs mere…]

Luftbombardementet af Guernica

Indledning & Problemformulering

Efter adskillige års politisk uro og stigende spændinger brød den ”Den spanske borgerkrig” ud i 1937. Under borgerkrigen blev civilbefolkningen udsat for de mest uhyrlige ting man kan forestille sig. En episode har præget historien mere en de fleste andre, nemlig bombningen af Guernica. Tilfældigvis var krigskorrespondent, George L. Steer, i Bilbao, der ligger i Baskerlandet, på dagen for bombningen. Han skrev en artikel om episoden der gjorde stort indtryk på omverden. Blandt andet inspirerede den Pablo Picasso til at male mesterværket ’Guernica’.

Jeg vil undersøge årsagen til hvorfor Tyskerne bombarderede Guernica under den Spanske borgerkrig, samt hvilke betydning Picassos ’Guernica’ og George L. Steers artikel havde. [Læs mere…]

FTZ

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the company FTZ Autodele & Værktøj A/S within the overall subject area of internationalizing. The basis of the study is to analyze the current competi-tion on the Danish market of spare parts after giving a simple characterization of the company. Fur-thermore the paper will analyze the composition of the company’s value stream in order to find the most important parts of it and thereby analyze the necessary adjustment in order to internationalize successfully. Finally the study will assess the consequences for the company in proportion to inter-nationalize.

The study has been made by examining various different theoretical aspects and comparing them to both external and internal empiricism.

The result of the analysis shows that these current years could be the right ones for FTZ to start in-ternationalizing because of their current situation within their line of business. Furthermore it shows, that in order to internationalize successfully, the value creation within the value stream mostly happens within just a few areas, which is why these are the most important to adjust right, if the company decides to internationalize. Finally, the paper concludes, that there are several different pitfalls for the company in order to internationalize, but that the possible yield is good. [Læs mere…]

Abstract

Encryption is a large part of our lives, more than we think about in our daily lives. Encryption was already used in ancient Egypt thousands of years ago, but it’s primarily used in internet safety today. Two types of encryption exist this day: symmetric and asymmetric encryption. The difference between these is the key functions – Symmetric encryption only has private keys, meaning the same key is used for both encryption and decryption. Asymmetric encryption uses both private and public keys, where the public key is used for encryption, and the private key for decryption. [Læs mere…]

Det accelererende informationssamfund

Indledning

Vi er alle efterhånden blevet vant til it-samfundet, og den konstante sprudlende udvikling indenfor teknologien generelt – men hvilke konsekvenser har disse nye teknologiske landvindinger konkret haft på verdenssamfundets udvikling? Og har udviklingen været relevant – har vi fået noget ud af det, i form af bedre levevilkår, eller har den teknologiske udvikling blot banet vej for endnu mere teknisk snilde?

Denne opgave vil behandle det store emne, med en hvis afgrænsning. Først vil den globale udvikling indenfor informationsudveksling blive redegjort, hvorefter der vil blive analyseret hvordan denne udvikling har påvirket hhv. USA og Indien. Til sidst vil der blive vurderet om udviklingen har medført en positiv eller negativ overordnet virkning på de to samfund. [Læs mere…]
