    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Kriminologiska institutionen

    Author : Ella Wendt Höjer; [2024]
    Keywords : prison; cultural criminology; Nordic exceptionalism; legitimacy; Kriminalvården;

    Abstract : The stories about prison are infinite, and ultimately affect our understanding of incarceration. Punishment and prison are also political, and the shape of the penal system is fundamentally different in different countries. READ MORE

  3. 2. Face to face: the Beatific Vision according to Gregory of Nyssa and Thomas Aquinas

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för litteratur, idéhistoria och religion

    Author : Victor Hjort; [2023-06-29]
    Keywords : anthropology; beatific vision; epistemology; eschatology; Gregory of Nyssa; teleology; Thomas Aquinas; theology;

    Abstract : Abstract: This dissertation aims to retrieve the doctrine of the beatific vision from the works of Gregory of Nyssa and Thomas Aquinas, hence the research question is: What are the respective understandings of the beatific vision in the works of Gregory of Nyssa and Thomas Aquinas? The method used in this dissertation is descriptive content analysis and it is written in the theory or tradition of Theologies of Retrieval. One of the main results is Gregory’s and Thomas’ respective solution to the Biblical paradox of the eschatological promise to see God face to face and the impossibility to see God, where Gregory suggests that the beatific vision is of God’s energies rather than God’s infinite essence and Thomas suggests that the beatific vision is the ontological union with God, in the noetic identity.

  4. 3. Design of a 2-D Lattice Flower Constellation for Earth observation applying the twin satellite concept

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

    Author : Julia Martín-Fuertes Brañas; [2023]
    Keywords : 2D Lattice Flower Constellation design; number of satellites; number of planes; revisit time; coverage; optimized constellation; target list; twin satellite concept; FreeFlyer; 2D Lattice Flower Constellation design; antal satelliter; antal plan; återbesökstid; täckning; optimerad konstellation; mållista; tvilling-satellit-koncept; FreeFlyer;

    Abstract : Events such as forest fires or floods are a danger to our Earth’s environment and the people living in it. The sooner they can be detected, the less damage they can cause. An idea arises: use satellites to monitor the Earth and relay information to prevention and rescue organizations in a very short time, regardless of accessibility from ground. READ MORE

  5. 4. Kernel Methods for Regression

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för matematik (MA)

    Author : Tom Lennart Rossmann; [2023]
    Keywords : Kernel Methods; Regression; Ridge Regression;

    Abstract : Kernel methods are a well-studied approach for addressing regression problems by implicitly mapping input variables into possibly infinite-dimensional feature spaces, particularly in cases where standard linear regression fails to capture non-linear relationships in data. Therefore, the choice between standard linear regression and kernel regression can be seen as a tradeoff between constraints on the number of features and the number of training samples. READ MORE

  6. 5. Continuous primitives with infinite derivatives

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Analys och didaktik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakulteten

    Author : David Manolis; [2023]
    Keywords : Infinite derivative; Henstock–Kurzweil integral; primitive function; strong Luzin condition; variational measure;

    Abstract : In calculus the concept of an infinite derivative – i.e. DF(x) = ±∞ – is seldom studied due to a plethora of complications that arise from this definition. READ MORE
