1. 1. Petrography of impactites from the Dellen impact structure, Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Robert Mroczek; [2023]
   Keywords : Dellen; Impact; structure; magnetite; apatite; shock waves; shock-metamorphic; features; Impactite; petrography; scanning electron microscope; SEM; geology; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Identification and characterization of shock-metamorphic features in hypervelocity impact craters is important for our understanding of how shock waves interact with geologic materials and how impact craters form, which in turn is essential to our understanding of what role impact cratering played in the development of our solar system. Of particular interest are accessory minerals like apatite, which contains various volatiles that can affect the atmosphere of a body, or magnetite whose magnetic properties constitute a remote sensing indicator which allows us to study and understand the internal structures of distant bodies.

3. 2. Statistics of Electric and Magnetic Fields at the Earth’s Bow Shock

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

   Author : Tsz-Kiu Wong-Chan; [2023]
   Keywords : MMS; Earth’s bow shock; Collisionless shocks; Correlation study; statistics; Space; Space plasma physics; MMS; Jordens bogchock; Kollisionsfria chocker; Korrelationsstudie; Statistik; Rymd; Rymdplasmafysik;

   Abstract : The interaction between the solar wind and Earth’s magnetic field creates the Earth’s bow shock. It is an ideal region for space probes like MMS, THEMIS or Clusters to study the collisionless shock phenomenon in space plasma. READ MORE

4. 3. Ultra Low Frequency Electromagnetic Waves at the Saturn Bow Shock

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

   Author : Axel Lindberg; Johan Höglund; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This project aims to research the characteristics and prevalence of ultra low frequency(ULF) waves at the Saturn bow shock with the help of data collected by the space probe CASSINIwhich was in orbit around the planet from 2004 and 2017. ULF waves have been extensively studiedat Earth but not at Saturn, and by studying this phenomenon at Saturn we may gain a deeperunderstanding of it. READ MORE

5. 4. An Investigation of the Viability of Crowdfunded Open Source Software : The Case of Open Source NPM Packages Funded Through GitHub Sponsors

   University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för datavetenskap

   Author : Malcolm Nihlén; [2022]
   Keywords : Open source software; crowdfunding; NPM; GitHub; sponsorship;

   Abstract : Open Source software plays an essential part in modern software development. Ifn ot used directly by a project, it may very well be used second or even third hand through its dependencies. Any disruption in the delivery, quality or reliability of a vital dependency may send large shock waves throughout a project. READ MORE

6. 5. Wage Adjustment and Wage Rigidity: Industrial Empirical Analysis of Swedish Economy

   University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomi

   Author : Jiechao Sheng; [2022]
   Keywords : wage rigidity; labour productivity; labour market tightness; vacancies; productivity shock;

   Abstract : The main goal of this article is to estimate how the aggregate wage level is determined by the labour productivity and labour market tightness, as well as how the wage is adjusted, at industry level. I collect monthly data from ten industries in Sweden over 2019-2021, and I use an ordinary-least- square method to set up the regression. READ MORE
