The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) uses transit photometry to detect exoplanets. To confirm if it is a planet, a second detection method is used to determine the planet's mass. But with the number of candidates waiting for confirmation, statistical tools have been developed to validate exoplanets so that false positives could be ruled out quickly. One such tool is the Tool for Ra

In this thesis, I attempt to categorize variable stars found with the OGLE telescope with the main aim being to find binaries containing white dwarfs. To do this, I combine light curve data from the OGLE telescope with data from the large Gaia EDR3 catalogue and a recently published 3-dimensional extinction map to gather the colour and absolute magnitude of the binary stars. Lastly, I use an artif
Dagens alltmer retributiva kriminalpolitik utgör en bakgrund till att medling vid brott för unga lagöverträdare har identifierats som ett ämne som är värt att undersöka närmare.

Samhällets digitalisering har medfört en accelererande omsättning och användning av datorer i skolan. Den hastiga utvecklingen har gjort att forskningen inte har kunnat hålla jämna steg med den digitaliserade undervisningspraktiken, däribland övergången från lärares användande av traditionella läroböcker till digitala läromedel. Examensarbetet syftar därför till att öka förståelsen för hur gymnasi
