The purpose of this thesis was to contribute to a more holistic understanding of youth experiences under the phenomenon of societal transitions caused by processes of modernization. Bhutan has been subjected to major changes in terms of economic development, political and societal transitions. The group mostly associated with this modernization and globalization process is the youth living in the

For several years, Finland has dominated the PISA surveys with their good results and conclusions have been drawn about the reasons behind Finland’s success. The Swedish National Agency for Education (Skolverket) stated in a report from 2005 that the Finnish education politics tends to be tinged with a higher amount of consensus compared to Sweden and that this may be a reason for the Finnish high
Abstract: The main purpose of this study is to compare national innovation patterns in two Baltic States, Latvia and Estonia, and also to seek evidence of different innovation performance in these countries, over the period of 2001-2008. Besides general changes in innovation functioning, my interest lies in understanding the possible reasons of Estonia outperforming its neighbor country, while for
Amartya Sen argues that the overarching goal of development is expanding people’s choices. Yet, freedom as a goal is ambiguous as the notion is clouded by idioms of freedom dating as far back as Ancient Greece. Thus, since Sen claims to have universalist presumptions, this thesis discusses and analyzes Sen’s notion of freedom from a classical philosophical perspective – mainly drawing from Leo Str
Rapid urbanisation has intensified socio-spatial inequalities in cities of the Global South, leading to the growth of informal settlements that remain excluded from formal planning systems. In India, this condition is increasingly evident in rapidly urbanising cities such as Coimbatore. This thesis investigates how sustainable urban design strategies can be employed to rehabilitate informal settle

Understanding wireless channels is crucial for the design of wireless systems. For mobile communication, sounders and antenna arrays with short measurement times are required to simultaneously capture the dynamic and spatial channel characteristics. Switched antenna arrays are an attractive option that can overcome the high cost of real arrays and the long measurement times of virtual arrays. Opti
Recent archaeological excavations have uncovered an Iron Age temple house in Vång providing new context to the centrality of Iron Age central Blekinge in Sweden, as well as its development into the Medieval period. This thesis aims to examine how that development unfolded using the lens of affordance theory combined with a GIS assisted source pluralistic analysis. Comparing Iron Age monuments with
Generative AI (Gen AI) is rapidly transforming communication within organizations. While existing research delves into the ethical considerations and productivity impacts of Gen AI, a critical gap remains: how communication specialists, who play a vital role in organizational sensemaking, experience this change. This study addresses this gap by investigating how communication specialists from medi
The question of Palestine remains one of the most salient dilemmas for policymakers and scholars interested in Middle Eastern and international affairs due to its protracted nature, the many structural limitations it is subject to, and the human and material costs it continues to generate. This thesis explores the current opportunities for regional cooperation in the MENA region around the Palesti
The subgenus Sarcophaga Meigen, 1824 (s. str.) currently comprises over 30 species distributed in the West Palearctic Region, the identification of which is normally based on characters of the male terminalia. Females of the three closely-related species Sarcophaga (Sarcophaga) carnaria (Linnaeus, 1758), S. (S.) subvicina Rohdendorf, 1937 and S. (S.) variegata (Scopoli, 1763), which are especially
Audiobooks have in recent years become widely popular. The format accordingly impacts how many contemporary readers use and experience literature. The article examines this tendency, departing from Rita Felski’s theoretical conceptualizations of uses of literature (Felski 2008). Felski represents a new attention within literary studies toward the ways in which so-called lay readers use, experience
Avian flapping strategies have the potential to revolutionize future drones as they may considerably improve agility, increase slow speed flight capability, and extend the aerodynamic performance. The study of live birds is time-consuming, laborious, and, more importantly, limited to the flapping motion adopted by the animal. The latter makes systematic studies of alternative flapping strategies i
Cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality is high in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Most patients reveal a high prevalence of CV risk factors such as diabetes or arterial hypertension and many have manifest cardiovascular disease (CVD), such as coronary artery disease and chronic heart failure with an increased risk of clinical events including sudden cardiac death. Diabetes mellitu
The size, volume, variety, and velocity of geospatial data collected by geo-sensors, people, and organizations are increasing rapidly. Spatial Data Infrastructures (SDIs) are ongoing to facilitate the sharing of stored data in a distributed and homogeneous environment. Extracting high-level information and knowledge from such datasets to support decision making undoubtedly requires a relatively so
