   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för kultur och estetik

   Author : Joanna Kiesler Svensson; [2022]
   Keywords : Technical Art History; Multispectral Imaging; Polyxena; Jacob de Wet; Dutch Golden Age; Theatricality;

   Abstract : The study departs from a technical examination of the panel painting Polyxena is Sacrificed in the Stockholm University Collection of Art, establishing the artistic process, level of ambition, and material choices by means of multispectral imaging techniques and elemental analysis. The artist, Jacob de Wet I, was both a well-reputed Haarlem-painter who specialized in small scale history paintings and headed a mass-producing workshop which supplied the low-end art markets of Haarlem and Amsterdam.

3. 2. Simulation of a prototype of the LDMX hadronic calorimeter and analysis of test beam data

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Partikel- och kärnfysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Péter György; [2022]
   Keywords : LDMX; HCal; TS; prototype; Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is an upcoming experiment to test the existence of dark matter in the mass range of 1 MeV - 1 GeV. It does so by looking for missing momentum and energy in collisions of an electron beam and a tungsten target, which could potentially indicate the existence of dark matter. READ MORE

4. 3. Golden Years in Lund: A qualitative study of how the elderly experience space and inclusivity in Lund

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för kulturgeografi och ekonomisk geografi

   Author : Maya Johansson; [2020]
   Keywords : Golden Eagle habitat model; habitat suitability index; HSI; habitat modelling using GIS;

   Abstract : The aim in this study was to develop a model for the probability of finding active golden eagle nests during their breeding season. It was done by using environmental variables derived from expert models which were tested against empirical data. READ MORE

6. 5. Not everything that glitters is gold : does linear infrastructure create an ecological trap for golden eagles?

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental Studies

   Author : Michelle Etienne; [2020]
   Keywords : HIREC; animal ecology; animal movement; animal behaviour; integrated step selection function; wildlife traffic accidents; maladaptive behaviour; fitness; habitat selection;

   Abstract : Animals can be caught in an “ecological trap” when they select for seemingly attractive habitats at the expense of their fitness. This maladaptive behaviour is often a consequence of human induced rapid changes in their natal environment, such as the development of linear infrastructure, where roads and railways create novel feeding conditions through traffic induced mortality of other species and powerline areas provide perching or nesting sites.
