  1. 6. The “ultramafic” Intrusion’s within the peridotite from Härbergsdalen : Petrological characterization of infiltration record within the lithospheric mantle

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Mineralogi, petrologi och tektonik

    Author : Per Volter; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The mantle constitutes ~80% of Earths volume, however, due to its location deep beneath Earth’s surface the mantle is inaccessible to study in situ. Despite this, we still have information about its composition thanks to seismic studies which haven proven the mantle to be in generally homogenous and dominated by a rock called peridotite.

  3. 7. Post-Main Sequence Habitability for Outer Solar System Moons

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Viktor Sparrman; [2022]
    Keywords : Habitability; Habitable Zone; Greenhouse Effect; Outer moons; Red Giant Branch; Horizontal Branch; Asymptotic Giant Branch; solar evolution;

    Abstract : The search for extra-terrestrial life is guided by the classification of promising candidate worlds. In this classification the habitable zone acts as a measure for the perceived habitability of a circumstellar body. Habitable zone definitions vary between using a conservative and an optimistic limit. READ MORE

  4. 8. Graphene Quantum Dots as Fluorescent and Passivation Agents for Multimodal Bioimaging

    University essay from KTH/Tillämpad fysik

    Author : Nüzhet Inci Kilic; [2021]
    Keywords : graphene quantum dots; hybrid nanoparticles; x-ray fluorescence contrast agents; multimodal bioimaging; grafen-kvantprickar; hybrida nanopartiklarna; multimodal bioavbildning; röntgenfluorescens kontrastmedel;

    Abstract : Zero-dimensional graphene (carbon) quantum dots have been drawing attention in bio-related applications since their discovery, especially for their optical properties, chemical stability, and easily modifiable surface.  This thesis focuses on the green synthesis of nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (GQDs) for dual-mode bioimaging with X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and optical fluorescence.

  5. 9. Geological characterisation of geophysical lineaments as part of the expanded site descriptive model around the planned repository site for high-level nuclear waste, Forsmark, Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

    Author : Aron Bakker; [2021]
    Keywords : Forsmark; deformation zones; Svecokarelian; Sveconorwegian; ductile-brittle transition; brittle deformation; mylonite; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co. (SKB) started a project in 2020 near Forsmark, Sweden with the aim to expand the deformation zone model to encompass the entire catchment area around the planned repository for spent nuclear fuel. READ MORE

  6. 10. Exploring Localized Humanitarian Innovation: A combined scoping study and case study of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Jessica Eliasson; Maria Gustafsson; [2021]
    Keywords : Humanitarian Innovation; Localization; Localized Humanitarian Innovation; The Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.; Technology and Engineering; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : Within recent years, the concept of Humanitarian Innovation (HI) has emerged and received growing attention within the humanitarian system as a critical means of adapting to growing complexities, uncertainties and resource scarcity. While perceived as a means of stimulating broader system changes and increasing effectiveness and efficiency of humanitarian assistance, current efforts of HI have met criticism for being too top-down driven, Northern biased and detached from local actors priorities and needs.
