Detecting Transiting Exoplanets in Crowded Fields

I vårt universum finns det ett nästan ändlöst antal extra-solära planeter, så kallade exoplaneter. Den första planeten utanför vårt solsystem upptäcktes 1995 och antalet har ökat drastiskt sedan dess. Ett av de vanligaste sätten att upptäcka exoplaneter är genom att använda transitmetoden. När en planet är i omloppsbana runt en stjärna så kan det hända att planeten blockerar en del ljus som stjärnThe first planet orbiting a main-sequence star was discovered in 1995. Since then more than 4000 additional exoplanets have been discovered. This is a rapidly evolving field in astrophysics. One of the most common ways to detect an exoplanet is through transit, as the brightness of the host star decreases. The transit method is suitable for surveying a large number of stars at the same time and mo

Optimizing the locations of bike-sharing stations using GPS-based trip data: A Spatio-temporal demand coverage approach

Shared micro-mobility services are increasingly embraced by cities around the world in recent years. Their benefits over other transportation modes in certain frames encourage traffic/urban planners, public authorities to establish such systems in urban areas. However, planning the placement, size and operation of such beneficial micro-mobility mode is a vital issue that concerns designers. Severa

Design of footbridges subjected to dynamic loading

Modern design of steel pedestrian bridges often results in relatively light constructions with low natural frequencies were there is a considerable risk of resonance to occur from loads due to pedestrians. To resolve the problem a common solution is to increase dimensions of load bearing elements, resulting in greatly oversized elements with increasing costs and have substantial environmental impa

If You Cannot Beat Them, Join Them? An Analysis of Political Party Behaviour Using the Case of the Turkish Republican People’s Party (CHP)

This thesis aims to contribute to the academic debate surrounding how votes affect political party behaviour. To do so, two theories explaining political party behaviour, which belong to opposite camps, will be under focus. These theories are the cleavage theory by Lipset and Rokkan and the voter transition and policy positioning theory. While the cleavage theory argues that political party behavi

Environmental impact assessment of bike trailers. A comparative study of product-oriented and use-oriented product service systems using lifecycle assessment (LCA)

Linear business models which focus on growth and profitability have been deemed to be destructive to the environment, leading to generation of vast volumes of waste and contributing to environmental impacts. As a solution to this problem, a system wide change in the form of circular economy has been proposed. Circular economy focuses on regeneration of materials, keeping resources in use as long p

Moreover, the thesis aimed to uncover why a growing number of organizations in Bolivia have chosen to incorporate a “masculinity approach” in their GBV interventions, and to analyse the challenges and opportunities pres

E-governance diffusion: COVID-19 as a critical juncture for developmental path dependency; the case of Mexico

This thesis aims to contribute to e-governance studies by combining a framework of critical juncture studies and path dependency theory to evaluate the performance of the e-governance sector in Mexico in the wake of the SARS-COVID-2 crisis. Through the investigation of e-governance policies during the COVID-19 pandemic, this thesis identified key thematic principles for analysis: 1) Access to Inte

Brainstem response estimation using continuous sound - A feasibility study

Hearing loss is a complicated phenomena which does not only vary from person to person, but also, can change characteristics during the day. Despite this, hearing aids today are fitted only occasionally and thus only capture the slow changes in the hearing loss. In order for a hearing aid to continuously adapt to a subject’s hearing loss it has to be able to gauge the users hearing threshold. One

Putting down new roots: The political economy of relevance for ‘climate-smart’ agriculture in rural Uganda.

A growing body of literature within political ecology is concerned with the exercise of political and economic power within climate change policies (Robbins, 2020). In this thesis, I explore the political economy of Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA), using methodological reflections and empirical material from a case study of a Ugandan smallholder agricultural community. To assess how local communit

Libraries of Things: Exploring business model configurations and dominant archetypes

As part of both the sharing and social economies, libraries of things (LoTs) can play a role in reducing consumption in a socially sustainable way. They have the potential to overcome key sustainability and service shortcomings of other circular and sharing business models (BMs), but research on LoTs is sparse. Because of this potential, this research aims to improve the understanding of LoT BMs t

Transforming into a learning organization? A study of challenges and conditions that leaders face when supporting the development of a learning organization

The concept of learning organizations is one of the most popular concepts within management research. There seems to be a continuous need for learning in organizations as it equips companies to survive rapid changes in the internal and external organizational environment as well as competition. Still, the idea is challenging to implement, and researchers as well as practitioners call for a need to

Comparison of Level Control Strategies for a Flotation Series in the Mining Industry

Separating valuable minerals from waste rock is an important step in the production of metals. This is for copper ore done through a process called flotation. A flotation series consists of tank cells in series where the minerals are collected in a froth on top of the cells. The level control of the flotation cells is important in order to be able to collect the froth. The first four flotation cel

Impact of model architecture and data distribution on self-supervised federated learning

Data is a crucial resource for machine learning. But in many settings, such as in healthcare or on mobile devices, there are obstacles that make it difficult to utilize the available data. This data is often distributed between many clients and private, meaning that central storage of the data is inadvisable. Further, image data is often unlabeled and external labelling is impossible due to its pr
