This study researches how consumers respond to knowing an ad is AI-generated, and which motives underlie these responses. To achieve this the study gathers data through interviews combined with a discourse analysis of online threads discussing different AI ads. The analysis, which is done through the lens of Raymond Williams’s concept of structures of feeling, shows that many consumers treat AI-ge
This thesis examines Swedish bilateral imports between 1860 to 1913 to assess Sweden’s 1888 shift from free trade to protectionism on Swedish bilateral imports while also exploring the Swedish Norwegian free trade agreement known as Mellanrikslagen during this period. This is approached using Difference in Differences and an event study within a gravity framework. The gravity methodology is co
In Bhutan, post-harvest losses are a significant challenge for many small scale farmers, especially in rural areas. Since these losses impact the ability to preserve foods during the peak harvesting seasons, this has a wide range of consequences, both for the farmers themselves and for the country as a whole. It contributes to food insecurity, economic uncertainty and the nutritional deficiencies
Solanum tuberosum (Potato) is a cool-season, short-day crop that tuberize effectively at temperatures between 15°C-19°C and at a day length of about 12 hours. These environmental requirements pose a moderate challenge to potato cultivar in different region globally. In Northern Europe, summers are characterized by the prolonged daylight and temperature that frequently exceed 19℃. Such conditions c
This paper examines the applicability of three licensing models, compulsory licensing, free licensing and FRAND licensing, to green technology patent pools. Given that green technologies are critical in addressing global environmental challenges and achieving the SDGs, they can be effective in balancing incentives for innovation with wider dissemination of technologies. This study evaluates ea
With the rapid evolution of semiconductor technology and the growing demand for high-performance, low-power System-on-Chip solutions, the design of efficient and scalable on-chip interconnect architectures has become a critical challenge in modern ASIC development. This thesis focuses on design space exploration of replacing multiple ARM CoreLink NIC-400 crossbar-based interconnects with a unified
Arctic coastal fishing communities face rapid environmental, social, and regulatory changes that challenge their adaptive capacity and resilience. Focusing on Moskenes on the Lofoten islands in northern Norway and approaching the case with a critical perspective on social resilience theory, this study investigates the adaptability of coastal fisheries and how their adaptive capacity is affected by
Syftet med denna studie var att utvärdera de psykometriska egenskaperna och den kliniska användbarheten av en svensk version av Hayling Sentence Completion Test gällande att skilja på vuxna med attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD, n = 47), autism (n = 33), och med båda diagnoserna (n = 31). Hayling-testet är ett neuropsykologiskt test skapat för att mäta initiering och inhibition. Den pThis study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties and the clinical utility of a Swedish version of the Hayling Sentence Completion Test in distinguishing between adults with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD, n = 47), autism spectrum disorder (ASD, n = 33) and co-occurring ADHD and ASD (n = 31). The Hayling test is a neuropsychological test designed to measure response initiat
This thesis examines the challenges faced by Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers in obtaining standard essential patent (SEP) licenses when entering the European market. It focuses on the SEP licensing framework within the European automotive industry, with particular attention to the Avanci patent pool and its representative licensing practices. By analyzing several Avanci-related cases i
Over time, Sweden has demonstrated a stable policy line across governments, marked by a critical view of further EU integration in the area of security and defence. There is a strong tendency in Sweden to initially reject EU proposals in this domain and widely advocated that this area is best managed at a national level. Over the past seven years, Sweden has initially rejected several EU proposals
Climate change, changing weather patterns, and coastal erosion pose significant risks to the Hebridean isles, which are home to a unique habitat and a cultural landscape known as ‘’machair’. The machair is a coastal landform located exclusively in Scotland, with its majority of existence restricted to the western shore of the Outer Hebrides. This unique habitat, shaped by northern Atlantic winds a
Project management is a widely discussed subject in both project management literature and academia. Still, organizations struggle with the complexity of managing projects effectively, especially in complex industrial environments. This thesis investigates investment projects at ABB in a single case study to explore which methodology is appropriate for investment projects within the organization.
Japan drabbas ofta av svåra naturkatastrofer, där jordbävningar och tsunamier orsakar omfattande förödelse. Efter sådana händelser kan arkitektoniska strategier bidra både till att återuppbygga fysisk infrastruktur och stödja människors psykosociala återhämtning. Arkitektonisk resiliens definieras som byggnaders förmåga att hjälpa samhället att återgå till balans efter kraftiga störningar. Dessuto
Stormfloder betraktas som ett stort hot mot ekosystem och infrastruktur längs kuster, och hotet ökar på grund av det nuvarande föränderliga klimatet, med alltmer frekventa översvämningshändelser, erosion och sedimentomlagring. I detta sammanhang blir insatser för att identifiera spår av stormfloder i geologiska arkiv allt viktigare för att förstå effekterna av sådana händelser på miljön. Denna stuStorm-surges are considered a major coastal threat to ecosystems and infrastructure in the current changing climate, with increasingly frequent flooding events, erosion and sediment redistribution. In this context, efforts to identify traces of storm-surges in the geological record are becoming increasingly important to understand the impacts of such events on the environment. This project investi
Mobile connectivity is set to change in the coming years due to AI generated data from agents and robotics. How this will develop remains uncertain since this type of data generation is not only a question of connectivity but also compute location and use cases. This creates a need for forward looking scenario analysis for ecosystem players so they can position themselves to win in a new paradigm.
Aim: Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) has become widely adopted over the last 15 years and over 1000 peer-reviewed publications are available describing its use. Despite this, there remains uncertainty regarding several aspects of usage. In order to respond to this gap a global expert panel was convened to develop evidence-based recommendations describing the use of NPWT. In this communicati
This report provides a summary of the third meeting of the Harmonising Outcome Measures for Eczema (HOME) initiative held in San Diego, CA, U.S.A., 6-7 April 2013 (HOME III). The meeting addressed the four domains that had previously been agreed should be measured in every eczema clinical trial: clinical signs, patient-reported symptoms, long-term control and quality of life. Formal presentations
Optical spectroscopy has been used as a supplement to conventional techniques for analyzing and diagnosing cancer in many human organs. Because ocular tumors may be characterized by their different melanin content, we investigated the feasibility of using transscleral visible/near-infrared spectroscopy (Vis/NIRS) to estimate the quantity of melanin in a novel uveal melanoma phantom of ex vivo porc
Life cycle assessment (LCA) is increasingly used in waste management to identify strategies that prevent or minimise negative impacts on ecosystems, human health or natural resources. However, the quality of the provided support to decision- and policy-makers is strongly dependent on a proper conduct of the LCA. How has LCA been applied until now? Are there any inconsistencies in the past practice
The article deals with the limitations imposed by the free movement provisions of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) on Member States´ability to prevent tax avoidance and protect national tax bases.
