  1. 1. Cosmological Horizons and the Unruh Effect

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teoretisk fysik

    Author : Niklas Engelhardt Önne; [2023]
    Keywords : Unruh effect; quantum scalar fields; Bogoliubov transformations; accelerated observers; Minkowski spacetime; cosmological horizons; Rindler observers; special relativity; QFT; Unruh-effekten; skalära kvantfält; Bogoliubov-transformationer; accelererande referenssystem; Minkowski rumtid; kosmologiska horisonter; Rindlerobservatörer; speciell relativitetsteori; QFT;

    Abstract : The black hole information paradox, which states that the evaporation of black holes due to Hawking radiation results in a violation of the conservation of quantum information, is arguably one of the most fundamental problems in all of modern physics. Through the equivalence principle, the essence of the problem can be understood and studied in the context of much simpler flat spacetime (described by the theory of special relativity); in this context the Hawking radiation takes the form of the so-called Unruh effect, a thermal effect in the vacuum of a Minkowski quantum field theory that can be measured by accelerated observers.

    Abstract : H.G. Wells’ novella The Time Machine (1895) tells the story of The Time Traveller who travels to the year 802,701. There, he encounters two evolutionary progressions of humanity. READ MORE

  4. 3. Playing with the Third Reich: Conceptual Relocation from Nazi Film to WWII Game : An Experiment to measure Filmic concepts in Digital Games

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Filmvetenskap

    Author : Laqi Li; [2023]
    Keywords : Nazi Germany; Propaganda Films; Science Fiction Trilogy; Industrial Films; WWII FPS Games; WWII Simulation Games; Fascist Aesthetic; Futuristic Utopianism; Steel-like Romanticism; History.;

    Abstract : Film produced by Nazi Germany has been a classic that has drawn scholars from a wide range of academic disciplines as well as innumerable cineastes from various cultural backgrounds. The simultaneous rise in the number of players acting as observers and operators in digital games with a WWII theme has drawn recent scholarly attention since it is thought that this pattern is contributing to players' hazy understanding of historical events.

  5. 4. Going To Bed Now: Dissociation Feminism and Implicit Critique in My Year of Rest and Relaxation

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Engelska institutionen

    Author : Jonathan Bäckström; [2023]
    Keywords : Docile body; The Culture Industry; Dissociation Feminism; Femcel; Sedation; My Year of Rest and Relaxation; Ottessa Moshfegh;

    Abstract : The purpose of this essay is to examine how the novel My Year of Rest and Relaxation (2018 / 2019) by Ottessa Moshfegh, through the lens of dissociative feminism, can be interpreted as a critique regarding commodification of the body. To explore this claim, I discuss the protagonist’s dissociative feminist behaviour in contrast to her friend Reva’s femcel-behaviour. READ MORE

  6. 5. Rotor temperature estimation in Induction Motors with Supervised Machine Learning

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Christopher Gauffin; [2023]
    Keywords : Induction motors; Supervised Machine learning; Power converters; Parameter estimation; Embedded systems; Induktionsmotorer; Övervakad maskininlärning; Strömkonverterare; Parameterestimering; Inbyggda system;

    Abstract : The electrification of the automotive industry and artificial intelligence are both growing rapidly and can be greatly beneficial for a more sustainable future when combined. Induction machines exhibit many complex relationships between physical and electromagnetic properties that must be calculated in order to produce the correct quantities of torque and speed commanded by the driver.
