This thesis investigates the lived experiences of women with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), diagnosed in adulthood in Denmark, focusing on how culturally ingrained norms and diagnostic frameworks contribute to masking behaviours, delayed recognition and systemic exclusion. The reason behind this thesis is a persistent underdiagnosis of ADHD in women and the subsequent resultant n
Within organizational families, listening between coworkers plays an essential role in enabling organizational success and the effective enactment of family dynamics. It allows information to circulate, collaboration to take place, and trusting relationships to develop. Yet, coworkers’ listening processes, agency and experiences in an organizational family continue to be overlooked by organization
This thesis investigates whether portfolios constructed from over 8000 recommendations from analyst companies operating in Sweden (2019-2024), outperform their benchmarks and generate abnormal returns in excess of common risk factors. Four of the six analyst-driven portfolios outperformed their respective indices in cumulative returns, but factor model explained most of the excess performance. Not
Antennas are fundamental components in the evolution of wireless communication systems, including current 5G networks and emerging 6G technologies. This thesis presents the design, simulation, and experimental validation of two antennas specifically developed for integration into repeater-assisted MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) systems. These systems aim to enhance spatial multiplexing and
Denna avhandling undersöker konceptet Rolling Magnet Energy Harvester (RMEH), en kinetisk energifångare, baserad på principerna för elektromagnetisk induktion. RMEH är utformad med fraktcontainrar i åtanke och utnyttjar energin från fordonets rörelser för att driva potentiella sensorer ombord. Det långsiktiga målet är att förbättra logistiken genom att tillhandahålla en enkel, hållbar och underhålThis thesis investigates the concept of a Rolling Magnet Energy Harvester (RMEH), a kinetic energy harvester based on the principles of electromagnetic induction. Designed with shipping containers in mind, the RMEH harnesses energy from the rolling motion of vehicles to power potential onboard sensors. The long term objective is to enhance logistics by providing a simple, sustainable, and maintena
As the impacts and consequences of climate change intensify and accelerate, climate adaptation is becoming increasingly central to and visible in European Union (EU) policy and governance. Yet, climate adaptation has historically been given less political and academic attention than climate mitigation. This thesis explores how the European Commission formulates and projects strategic narratives ab
This thesis examines the relationship between state-led security deployments and electoral violence during Nigeria’s federal elections from 2011 to 2023. Using a mixed-methods approach that combines subnational quantitative data with qualitative document analysis. It assesses whether the presence of military and police forces reduces or exacerbates violence. While officially justified as preventiv
In the recycling process of Tetra Pak packaging, the recycling and reuse of pure polyAl is not as explored as the rest of the materials. After the fiber has been removed from the recycled packages through repuling, the need to separate the polyAl from other polymers and better understand how this material behaves is crucial. In order to explain the material properties and investigate how the poly
The construction industry is a very traditional sector. The construction supply chain is very complex and fragmented since every project is site-based and unique. The distinctive nature of the construction industry is its heavy reliance on subcontracting. A common practice in the industry is to organize projects with a tier of subcontractors working for a main contractor. Since it is a knowledge-i
This thesis explores the migration experiences of privileged American women who have relocated to Spain, not as economic refugees or global elites, but as people navigating complex landscapes of physical, emotional, and existential insecurity. Drawing on feminist ethnography, emotional geographies, and theories of postnational belonging, the project analyzes how gender, autonomy, care, and politic
This study explores how urban branding intervenes in the formation and realization of migration aspirations and capabilities among talent migrants, using Chengdu as a case study. Based on the Aspirations–Capabilities framework, this study applies mixed-methods analysis, combining quantitative data analysis, digital ethnography (analyzing government urban branding narratives and post-migrants’ expe
BACKGROUND: The aim was to improve the realism of patient models for Monte-Carlo based evaluation of image-based quantification of tumour volume and activity in [68Ga]Ga-DOTA-TOC PET and [177Lu]Lu-DOTA-TATE SPECT images.METHODS: Three phantoms from the XCAT population were used as basis. Tumour structures were obtained from segmentation of patient 68Ga-PET images and positioned at relevant positio
Despite the recent surge of wind and solar power, both technologies need to accelerate to meet climate goals. Yet, there are no robust methods to assess the likelihood of such acceleration. Here we show that renewable energy deployment follows a recurring pattern across countries with prolonged periods of relatively steady growth punctuated by growth pulses. Based on this insight and on observed g
The current rise in geopolitical tensions has heightened the need to understand the intricate relationship between sustainability and security, particularly in the context of the Global South. However, existing academic literature has paid limited attention to exploring this interconnection. This study aims to synthesize the existing knowledge on the nexus of sustainability and security in the Glo
This paper investigates how voluntary sustainability commitments shape lenders’ integration of biodiversity risks into credit allocation, comparing UNEP FI–committed and non-committed lenders. Using global syndicated loan data (2018–2023) matched with firm-level measures of biodiversity impact and dependency, we find that all lenders extend smaller loans to more biodiversity-dependent firms. consi
Numerous patients with psoriasis will associate disease triggers to changes in disease activity over time. Modern treatments induce remission, but relapse is common if the treatment is stopped. Exploring patients' first-hand experiences is a key starting point to identify triggers that may influence disease relapse. A cross-sectional digital questionnaire was distributed to 2716 individuals with p
Plant essential oils are widely acknowledged for their insecticidal activities and synergistic interaction with conventional insecticides, but their insecticidal modes of action and the mechanism of synergy remain less understood. In this study, electrophysiological screenings on the larval central nervous system (CNS) of the common fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, and the housefly, Musca domes
Lime-cement mixing is a method used for ground improvement of clay soils. Before mixing at a field site, laboratory samples are prepared and tested to decide the amount of lime-cement binder needed to reach the desired material strength. Strength measurements are not possible before a sample hardens, and the test process to predict final strength takes 30 days. Resistivity measurements are possibl
This study's purpose was to focus on collective identity and its effect on approaches to natural resource management. Within development studies in general, and in studies on resource management in particular, there is a theoretical need for putting more emphasis on contextual variables. One such variable, it was argued, is "identity". Putting emphasis on a triadic relationship betwe
