  1. 1. The visibility of stellar transients in the Galactic Centre

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Astrofysik

    Author : Jonathan Ström; [2024]
    Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : A semi-analytical simulation was developed to evaluate the K-band magnitudes of Red Giants [0.96 - 1.02 M⊙] orbiting the supermassive black hole in the galactic centre. The model assumed star formation between 10-12 Gyrs ago and by following the IMF and applying a random age condition, a stellar population was created. READ MORE

  3. 2. Behind grades: Extramural, environmental and individual factors in learning English as a foreign language

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Engelska institutionen

    Author : Amanda Milla Moilanen; [2024]
    Keywords : English as a Foreign Language; EFL; Extramural English; Environmental Factors; Individual Differences;

  4. 3. Planning for heat resilience - A comparative study between Greater Gothenburg´s and Skåne´s work on heat

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Rebecca Johansson; [2023-08-17]
    Keywords : climate adaptation; heat mitigation; heat stress; urban planning;

    Abstract : Due to climate change, it is expected that heat waves will be intensified and occur more frequently in Sweden; hence, heat-related risks are anticipated to increase, i.e., morbidity and mortality. Through heat mitigation strategies, risks associated with heat can be prevented. READ MORE

  5. 4. A computational model of metapopulation dynamics and organism-mediated nutrient flow

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Amanda Hansson; [2023-08-07]
    Keywords : computational model; population dynamics; metapopulation dynamics; nutrient flow; simulation; spatially explicit; individual-based;

    Abstract : The aim of this project was to assess, using in-silico experiments, how different life history char-acteristics, such as age at maturity and dispersal ability of individuals, influence the dynamics of a metapopulation. To achieve this, a novel model of a spatially explicit metapopulation, with organ-ism-mediated nutrient flow between fragmented habitat patches, was implemented by means of computer simulations.

  6. 5. The impact of female entrepreneurship on a country’s innovative performance

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Graduate School

    Author : Laura Lechner; Lina Hartmann; [2023-07-19]
    Keywords : female entrepreneurship; innovation performance; country-level analysis; OLS; opportunity-driven entrepreneurship; innovation; developed countries; developing countries;

    Abstract : Purpose – As entrepreneurship is still a traditionally male-dominated field, more research and political initiative is needed to create a level-playing field between women and men in this industry. The purpose of this research, therefore, is to first understand how female entrepreneurship (FE) influences innovation performance (IP) now, and how this effect has changed over time. READ MORE
