Generalized low-density parity-check (GLDPC) codes improve the error-correction capability of conventional low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes by replacing single parity-check (SPC) constraints with more powerful component codes. However, stronger local constraints introduce additional redundancy and may reduce the overall code rate. This thesis investigates how the rate of Hamming-based GLDPC c
Game-playing algorithms often face a trade-off between analyzing moves that currently look promising and exploring alternatives whose value is uncertain. AlphaZero-style chess engines combine neural network evaluation with Monte Carlo tree search to selectively explore the game tree. We evaluate a variance-aware modification of the PUCT tree policy on chess puzzles and find that it underperforms s
This study examines how perceived customer value emerges in relation to Limited Edition (LE) products purchased in physical grocery stores. While previous research on LE products has primarily focused on high-involvement contexts such as fashion, luxury goods and technology, less attention has been given to how limited availability creates value in a routine low-involvement consumption setting. Th
Sammanfattning Den här studien undersöker hur tävlings- och spelbaserad gamification påverkar konsumenters köpbeteende på den svenska marknaden, med fokus på två dimensioner: benägenheten att genomföra ett första köp och utvecklingen av kundlojalitet. Trots att gamification har blivit ett allt vanligare marknadsföringsverktyg är forskningsfältet splittrat och kunskapen om hur spelbaserade kampanj
Three-dimensional finite element (FE) models derived from Computed Tomography (CT) images predict hip fractures better than areal bone mineral density measurements from Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA). Yet, these results have not justified the adoption of CT in clinical practice, and only 2D DXA images are clinically available. Statistical shape and appearance models can be used to reconstr
This study examines the challenges of standardizing participatory mapping methods across culturally diverse water-scarce communities in Colombia. While the framework effectively captures local spatial knowledge, tensions emerge between maintaining cultural sensitivity and ensuring analytical comparability. The research reveals key difficulties in translating (non)indigenous spatial meanings into
Conspiracy theories and disinformation are often perceived as significant threats to democracy. Preventing their dissemination has thus become a major issue of governmentality. In addition to the legislative bodies that are engaged with the regulation of platforms and online communication, a range of organisations are tasked with combatting conspiracy theories and disinformation in both online and
This chapter provides a bird's-eye view of the online conspiracist landscape across Europe. Using a variety of data methods and visualisations, it conducts a comparative analysis of the REDACT project's datasets of conspiracy theory discourse (c. 6 million posts) from a variety of mainstream social media platforms in our four case study regions and countries: Western Europe (represented by the UK,
In memory of Dr. Paul Levine, my friend and mentor during the last years of his life, this chapter honors his commitment to research, write, and teach about the Holocaust and the entangled histories of Sweden and the Holocaust. In this chapter, I demonstrate how traces of the Holocaust in Sweden—including former refugee camps, cemeteries, schools, and hospitals, etc.—help educate students and the
Arkiv har i århundraden varit centrala för staters, organisationers och människors sätt att dokumentera, minnas och skapa ordning – från medeltida kanslier och offentliga ämbetsverk till dagens digitala informationsmiljöer. Arkivens former och funktioner har förändrats, samtidigt som frågor om autenticitet, proveniens, tillgänglighet och insyn blivit allt mer komplexa i takt med samhällets förändr
This introduction defines the scope, structure and approach of the book, which presents the findings of the three-year collaborative research project ‘REDACT: Researching Europe, Digitalisation and Conspiracy Theories’. Specifically, it explains the studies major premises: (1) Conspiracy theories must not be conflated with disinformation, as public and scholarly discourses often do. Instead, they
This conclusion underscores the contextual nature of conspiracism across Europe, challenging universalist frameworks and US-centric models. Conspiracy theories are shown to be culturally and politically embedded, shaped by local histories, structural grievances and media ecologies. Counter-disinformation efforts must therefore adopt regionally attuned strategies that resist simplistic error-based
