This project consists of a transit search in the Messier 3 Globular cluster with the goal to assess the difficulties of observing planetary transits in globular clusters. M3 was observed for a short period of time and by performing PSF fitting, flux measurements could be done to extract light curves of the 290 stars that are included in this project. To determine the stellar type, an HR-diagram wa
In this project, I wish to take a glance at what WiFi routers can do in the future. The new solution could make the current WiFi routers have more physical meaning which can impact our real life while providing indispensable wifi signals. Besides offering WiFi signals, WiFi routers adopted with FTTR all-optical networking solutions can control and monitor all the IoT smart devices connected to the

Apart from when those are held, the pier is abandon with only one sheet shed still standing, as a glimpse of the piers former past as a freeport
Förekomsten av plast i marina miljöer har under de senaste decennierna varit ett känt globalt problem. Flera nedbrytningsprocesser inverkar på plastavfallet, vilket orsakar fragmentering ned till fragment mindre än fem millimeter i storlek – kallade mikroplaster. Målet för denna studie är att öka förståelsen om mikroplaster i marina miljöer där följande frågeställningar bemöttes: Hur stor utbredniThe abundance of plastic in marine environments has been a well-known global problem for the past decades. Multiple degrading processes effect plastic debris, causing fragmentation down to particle sizes smaller than five millimeters – named microplastics. The aim for this study is to extend the knowledge of microplastics in the marine environment by addressing the following questions: How wide-sp
Ljud är, för de flesta, någonting självklart. Vi omges ständigt av ljud, våra egna och andras, och kanske märker vi inte av vår ljudmiljö förrän den blir direkt obehaglig. Detta speglas även i vår gärning och vårt tankesätt som arkitekter, där bilden, ljuset och den visuella estetiken har företräde i våra kreativa processer. Det är just detta som Juhani Pallasmaa går till angrepp mot i ”The Eyes oSound is, for most people, something obvious. We are constantly surrounded by sounds, our own and others’, and perhaps we do not notice our sound environment before it has become directly unpleasant. This is reflected in our work and our way of thinking as architects, where the image, light and visual aesthetics has precedence in our creative processes. This is what Juhani Pallasmaa chriticizes in
Problem gambling is a serious social problem that can have significant negative impacts on an individual's life in various ways. Considering that preventing and combating problem gambling is one of the stated goals in the Swedish social services act, it is essential for social workers to understand how problem gamblers view problems related to their gambling. In this study, I have examined how
We live in what some call the “post-truth era”. Post-truth was appointed word of the year by Oxford Dictionaries in 2016. This thesis is a study on what significance different types of engagement on social media has on teenagers' knowledge about Swedish politics. This is important to understand because a great deal of the public debate concerning national politics nowadays takes place online.
Despite Sweden's relatively high figures on living standards several extensive welfare challenges remain such as mental illness, youth unemployment and increased income inequality. Municipalities charged as the extended arm of the welfare state, have over the past 10 years initiated social investments to address these issues. Örebro municipality is described to be one of the municipalities in
For decades there has been a push to bring museums into alignment with current thought on how history can be shared in a way that is more relevant for society today. This thesis draws on recent thought and theories of practice in museums that coincide with these shifting perspectives, centering on the questions of how museums are already acting as de facto human rights duty-bearers, and how they m
The global land grab is fuelling a concentration of land in the hands of a few and (further) embeds land into the logic of capital. In the context of industrialised agriculture, it remains understudied who the different actors vying for control of land are and how farmers respond to these pressures. Hence, this thesis aims to study how land grabbing manifests in East Germany where large farms domi
Utopian studies, and the word Utopia it self, have always been controversial. In common language utopia often connects to something negative, something impossible. Diverse academic disciplines have their own definition of the word and concept. These heterogeneous views of utopia complicate the discussion in the scientific community. The starting point of this study is to reach at better and more e
