Precis som arkeologer gräver i jordens historia finns det astrofysiker som gräver i Vintergatans förflutna. Det finns ingen fullständig bild över Vintergatans evolution. Därför är galaxformationen ett relevant ämne inom astrofysiken. När man grävt i ljusspektra och rörelsedata av stjärnor i vår galax har man funnit att många stjärnor har sitt ursprung utanför Vintergatan. En galax som rör sig geThe Milky Way galaxy has through its lifetime merged with several smaller galaxies in its surroundings. Merger events like these play an important role in the formation of galaxies and are therefore of great interest to better our understanding of galaxy formation. In this project we create candidate lists of stars that are likely to originate from past merger events experienced by the Galaxy, usi

Accoya: virket som motstår rötsvamparna Att använda trä som byggnadsmaterial har en lång tradition i Sverige, då tillgången är god. Nu har det återigen fått ett större fokus i hopp om att minska byggsektorns klimatpåverkan. För att utöka träets användning måste dess problem med fukt begränsas, där det största problemet är rötsvampar som bryter ned träet och gör det svagare. En vanlig metod är attWood is one of the oldest building materials, which have recently gained more focus in aneffort to reach net zero emissions. The mechanical properties of wood are dependent on the moisture content, and a high moisture content can also lead to biological attacks from decay fungi. To avoid biological attacks the wood must be protected from moisture, and a traditional method is to pressure impregnate

Introduction: Antibiotic resistance is rising globally, increasing the demand on new antibacterial substances. Background: Studies suggest that lignin exhibits antibacterial properties, however this property is unexploited commercially. The valorization of lignin is difficult due to its complex and variable structure. Aims: This study aims therefore to fractionate lignosulfonate lignin (LSL) into

Electric road systems can be defined as a system transferring energy from a road to an electric vehicle while the vehicle is in motion, either to power the vehicle’s movement or to charge its batteries. This thesis aimed to investigate how this relatively new technology of electric road systems could be implemented in a port. The research was conducted by having a two-fold research purpose. Firstl

Neither did Hitler abhor the law, nor the legal profession. What Hitler abhorred was the law and legal profession that were not aligned to his worldview. So critical was the law, the legal order, the legal profession to Hitler that he himself, for instance, commenced to construct his regime thanks to the Article 48 of the Weimar Constitution. This work is both an examination and an interpretation

Inflationen har stigit kraftigt de senaste åren runt om hela jorden. Stigningen kom oväntat och överraskade både centralbanker och kapitalförvaltare. Detta har lett till kraftiga ränteökningar för att försöka dämpa inflationen till lägre nivåer. Kanske hade det gått att undvika dessa kraftiga ränteökningarna om man hade haft tillgång till estimat av inflation på förhand. Vi undersöker i detta exDifferent models were developed with the aim of nowcasting inflation at a daily basis with high frequency variables, while using real-time data to avoid look ahead bias. Both popular machine learning models such as Random Forest and XGBoost, and more traditional models such as UMIDAS and Almon distributed lag models were used to make the nowcasts. The MIDAS framework was utilized as a way of handl
