  1. 16. Wavelength-dependent limb darkeningin the analysis oftransit spectroscopy of exoplanets

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för fysik och astronomi

    Author : Alberto García Ribas; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Limb darkening, an optical effect characteristic of stars, where the limb (edge) seemsto be darker than the centre of the stellar body; plays an important role in our under-standing of exoplanetary transits, as it is fundamental for developing light curve modelsthat can help to undercover extrasolar companions. To recover atmospheric featuresfrom exoplanets, a principal component analysis method is typically used. READ MORE

  3. 17. "Taking by Giving" - The Contradiction of Volunteer Tourism: A critical analysis of the possible impacts of volunteer tourism in the Global South

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Sociologi

    Author : Hanna Rydén; [2023]
    Keywords : Volunteer tourism; voluntourism; post-colonialism; discourse; white savior complex; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : During recent decades there has been a rapid growth of volunteer tourism whose nature and impact are increasingly questioned in both literature and media. This study aims to critically compare the intended positive impacts with the potential negative consequences of volunteer tourism. READ MORE

  4. 18. Probabilistic Added Wave Resistance Predictions for Design of RoPax Ferries

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Jonathan Viinikka; [2023]
    Keywords : Added wave resistance in head waves; Roll-on Roll-off Passenger ferry; Probabilistic wave environment; Semi-empirical method; Adderat vågmotstånd i motsjö; Roll-on Roll-off Passagerar Fartyg; Probabilistiska vågförhållanden; Semiempiriska beräkningsmethoder;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates reasons for significant uncertainties in added wave resistance predictionsand how wave conditions can potentially affect the design of RoPax ferries. The objectiveis to find a suitable prediction method of added wave resistance for the RoPax ferry designapplication. READ MORE

  5. 19. Therapeutic orientation bias & personal values: A study on Swedish psychologists

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för psykologi

    Author : Ruben Arwidsson; Johannes Bodén; [2023]
    Keywords : therapeutic orientation; psychodynamic therapy; cognitive behavioral therapy; personal value preferences; explicit bias; terapiorientering; psykodynamisk terapi; kognitiv beteendeterapi; personliga värderingspreferenser; explicit bias;

    Abstract : Psychodynamic therapy (PDT) and Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) are the main Therapeutic Orientations (TO) in Sweden and this study aims to explore the relationship between psychologists personal value preferences and their inclination toward PDT/CBT. Furthermore, the study explored if there is a tendency to explicitly appreciate one TO and depreciate the other (explicit bias) and additionally, if that tendency is associated with personal value preferences.

  6. 20. Virtual Sensing for Cluster Vacuum Control

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Carl Egenäs; Axel Sacilotto; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The purpose of this project was to develop a virtual sensing model in order to estimate the vacuum level in the milking cluster with data collected further along the milk tube. Measuring the cluster vacuum level is desirable for many applications, such as control and monitoring, but due to the cow's tendency to kick, chew and stomp on anything within reach, placing a sensor in or close to the cluster is both difficult and impractical.
