1. Projective Geometry in Kinematics
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för matematik och matematisk statistikAbstract : In this thesis, we study projective geometry and show a connection to kinematics. We show how the group of rigid body motions in three-dimensional space can be parameterized on a hyperbolic quadric in a seven-dimensional projective space. We also show that this quadric is a geometry with triality, and we discuss triality from a kinematic viewpoint. READ MORE

2. Optical Communication using Nanowires and Molecular Memory Systems
University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/SynkrotronljusfysikAbstract : Neuromorphic computational networks, inspired by biological neural networks, provide a possible way of lowering computational energy cost, while at the same time allowing for much more sophisticated devices capable of real-time inferences and learning. Since simulating artificial neural networks on conventional computers is particularly inefficient, the development of neuromorphic devices is strongly motivated as the reliance on AI-models increases.

3. Womens Club? : The Role of Gender in the Female Business Angel’s Investment Process
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Företagsekonomiska institutionenAbstract : Business angels constitute an increasingly important source of capital for entrepreneurs in their ventures’ early stages. Previous research and reports, however, state that female entrepreneurs are heavily underfunded. READ MORE

4. Gravitational Collapse of a Massless Scalar Field in a Theory of Minimally Modified Gravity
University essay from KTH/FysikAbstract : This thesis explores the spherically symmetric gravitational collapse of a massless scalar field in a minimally modified gravity theory denoted VCDM (V replaces $\Lambda$ in the $\Lambda$CDM abbreviation), a class of theories propagating the same degrees of freedom as general relativity at the expense of broken 4D diffeomorphism invariance. Numerical evolution of the equations of motion reveals that for small initial scalar profile amplitudes, no black hole forms from the collapse. READ MORE

5. Drop Dead Gorg(on)eous : A Multimodal Discourse Analysis of the Contemporary Medusa Tattoo
University essay from Uppsala universitet/Konstvetenskapliga institutionenAbstract : This thesis investigates the phenomenon of the contemporary ‘Medusa tattoo’ that gained traction on the social media platform TikTok in 2019 as a symbol of sexual assault survival, and which has since come to function as an instrument for digital feminist activism. The study aspires to provide a new, previously unexplored link to the long chain of academic research on the figure of Medusa by looking at the emergence, function, and potential of the Medusa tattoo.
