The brightness of the stars is not uniform over the surface as it varies depending on the wavelength and the atmosphere that the light propagates. Limb darkening is an optical effect caused by a decrease in brightness of the star towards the edge. Depending on which point on the star is observed, the optical depth reaches different atmospheric media, which results in different intensities of light

Refugees often spend over 20 years in what are supposed to be temporary camps, leading to increased violence and abuse. The humanitarian and development sector is seeking long-term solutions to protect their human rights and prevent discrimination. This study aimed to identify which possible solutions the Kenyan government may implement to address the demands of refugees in terms of local integrat

Disability is an aspect that forms a significant part of the human condition. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) an estimated 1 billion people worldwide live with a disability. That accounts for roughly 15 % of the entire human population, and therefore it has been sometimes referred to as the world's largest minority. The presence of people with disability is a phenomenon that i

A fundamental principle for democracy and the rule of law is that the courts are independent and impartial, which extends to the conduct of judges and lay judges during the trial. In addition, there is the expectation of the courtroom being an unemotional setting, and seeing emotional displays in lay and professional judges could lead to a feeling of partiality in the audience. The aim of this the

Currently, there is an increased societal focus on youth criminality and also a growing popularity of municipal social outreach work as a countermeasure of it. The purpose of this study is therefore to elucidate social outreach workers' experience of their work with children through a crime preventative perspective, to expound upon their role in crime prevention and to highlight the emotional

Tänk om vi kunde ersätta dagens hydrauliska lösningar med elektriska och skapa mer energieffektiva system i dagens moderna arbetsmaskiner? Vilka möjligheter och utmaningar uppstår då man ersätter pumpar och hydraulik med batterier och elektronik? Den pågående elektrifieringen av fordon inom många sektorer skapar nya möjligheter att utmana och ersätta traditionella lösningar med hjälp av modern teExcavators have traditionally been diesel driven with hydraulic actuators, but with the ongoing electrification of vehicles, smaller electric excavators are getting more common. Larger electrical excavators are still in a prototyping or early production stage but can be expected to grow. The electrification of construction equipment creates new possibilities to replace previous hydraulic- with ele

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) have gained significant attention in recent years as a rapidly growing form of crypto assets with unique characteristics. However, existing tax regulations have struggled to keep up with these developments. This thesis addresses the taxation of NFTs within the European Union (EU) and highlights the legal gap in their treatment, given their exclusion from the Markets in C

The Greek physician Praxagoras from Kos was active around year 300 BC. He represents the transition between the Hippocratic and the Hellenistic periods in medicine. Praxagoras was the teacher of several renowned physicians active during the 3rd century BC. Although he wrote many books nothing of his writing has survived to our time. To learn about his teachings we must rely on fragments and testim

Today's social services are constantly criticized in the media. Trust in Swedish authorities has never been so low and the main contributor to this is the easily accessible criticism on social media. The criticism is based on clients' stories, including personal and impersonal experiences of the meeting with social services. The study aimed to investigate how critical clients and social wo

Nasal administrering är en administeringsmetod där läkemedel inhaleras genom näsan. Metodens huvudsakliga syfte är att snabbt och effektivt behandla lokala symtom. Men på senare tid har det även ökats intresse för att uppnå en systemisk effect, där läkemedlet når blodomloppet och därigenom påverkar hela kroppen. Näshålan är ungefär 15-20 ml, med en yta på cirka 150 cm2 och är uppdelad i två symmIntranasal drug delivery is a practical and accessible method for treating localized symptoms as well as achieving systemic drug absorption. The approach takes advantage of the permeability, vascularization, and limited enzymatic activity of nasal tissue, leading to enhanced drug absorption. Moreover, drugs can bypass the blood-brain barrier and directly reach the brain through the olfactory route

This paper examines how worries about war affect the political participation of women and men in Ukraine. The analysis is based on secondary data from the seventh wave of the World Values Survey 2017-2020. By constructing linear regressions, I examined whether there is a correlation between the worries about the war and the political activity of women and men in Ukraine. This allowed us to see how

The purpose of this study has been to understand how brands construct female body trends through the use of marketing representations over time. It was considered of relevance to analyze these social constructions as female consumers have been portrayed as well as objectified and exploited over the years in different industries.

A numerical investigation of the unit cell approach has been done to reduce the computational cost for CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) of plate heat exchangers (PHE) at Alfa Laval. The reduced cost would enable LES (Large Eddy Simulation) to be done which would give a more detailed and accurate insight into the flow and heat transfer processes of the PHE. The unit cell which is repeatable in alThe transport of heat from hot to cold mediums is called heat transfer. It can be used for either heating or cooling machines, electronics food, etc. in industry. Examples are the cooling of a car engine or recovering heat from a power plant turbine. In these types of applications, it is practical to use fluids of high heat capacity as mediums for transferring heat as this means they that they are
