This thesis examines the process through which signals of institutional divergence are interpreted and translated into political risk assessments and advice given to firms entering the Czech Republic and Slovakia. With a particular focus on business advisors, the study examines how institutional signals are identified, interpreted, consolidated, and translated into advice for firms entering the tw
This study examines and analyzes the Albanian government's decision to appoint the world's first AI minister; in its uniqueness, this decision represents a turning point in the application of artificial intelligence, interpreted and utilized as a potential means to strengthen democratic governance. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the subsequent bid for European Union membership marked
Abstract This bachelor’s thesis examines how statelessness and transgender identity shape the lived experiences of stateless Palestinian transgender individuals. The study explores how different forms of exclusion are produced through the interaction of legal status, gender identity, and social recognition. It is based on a qualitative text analysis of secondary empirical material, including quali
This study examines how anti-gender discourse is legitimized through the imitation of academic forms in the Swedish context. The study focuses on Ars ludendi Universitaria, an anonymous document that adopts academic conventions while advancing claims about gender, sexuality, biology and social hierarchy. The purpose of the study is to examine how the document constructs legitimacy and how anti-gen
In efforts to find synergies or trade-offs between the environmental and social pillars of policies aimed at sustainable development, a key set of issues are often discussed in terms of geographical scale. The aim of this paper is to critically examine the framings of social and environmental sustainability challenges as scale-related (such as local - global or North-South) involved in processes i
Schíma – morphḗ – íchos is a reactive installation-performance that brings together visual, physical and sonic dimensions to explore ways of coping with a changing environment. The material history of nine objects crafted from steel is negotiated anew in the present tense, through the eyes, hands and ears of the two performers and the audience.The objects presented in this installation-performance
Differential Riccati equations (DREs) are semilinear matrix- or operator-valued differential equations with quadratic nonlinearities. They arise in many different areas, and are particularly important in optimal control of linear quadratic regulators, where they provide the optimal feedback control laws. In the context of control of partial differential equations, these Riccati equations are operaDifferential Riccati equations (DREs) are semilinear matrix- or operator-valued differential equations with quadratic nonlinearities.

In this work we introduce a new method for the construction of minimal submanifolds of codimension two in even dimensional spheres and hyperbolic spaces. This is based on the theory of complex-valued harmonic morphisms. This gives the first explicit examples of such maps defined on the sphere S^4 and the hyperbolic space H^4.
