When ultrashort pulses propagate through common optical elements, such as gratings and thick lenses, they inevitably acquire spatiotemporal couplings (STCs), which are nonseparable chromatic aberrations. This phenomenon fundamentally stems from the broad spectral bandwidth inherent to ultrashort pulses. STCs can significantly reduce peak intensity, enlarge the focal spot, and thus limit the optima
Background: Personalization has become an essential tool of video streaming platforms, influencing how users discover and consume content. In highly saturated streaming markets, characterized by extensive content libraries and low switching barriers, personalization systems gain increasing relevance in enhancing customers’ experiences and satisfaction. Purpose: This study aims to explore how per
The study reveals that Gen Z consumers construct nostalgia for unlived eras through four interconnected processes: platform and algorithmic exposure, aesthetic simplification, collective validation, and identity reconstruction. Nostalgic content becomes meaningful when platforms make selected versions of the past visible, when aesthetic cues such as music, filters, fashion, and visual styles make
Extreme short-duration rainfall is an important challenge for urban drainage systems, especially during maintenance work and temporary operational changes where parts of the system may have reduced capacity. This project estimates seasonal return levels for short-duration rainfall in Malmö using tipping-bucket observations from four VA SYD stations. The main focus is on 10-minute and 60-minute rai
As a result of global warming, the hydrological cycle is expected to intensify. With this follows an increase in precipitation, which is predicted to cause a growing frequency and level of pluvial flooding. Urban settlements will likely be affected the most, and with the continuing growth of cities, more people will be at risk of endangerment. Thus, it is of immense importance for cities to streng
This study examines the defense modernization efforts of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Vision 2030, together with the institutional architecture of GAMI and SAMI, sets an ambitious target of 50% defense localization by 2030. While official reports assert steady progress in upstream industrial capabilities, this study asks whether these efforts have been as successful as claimed. The research
The impoundment of hydroelectric reservoirs is associated with significant emissions of green house gases. In addition, the loss of the pre-flooded landscape is a substantial factor in the long-term carbon footprint of hydroelectric reservoirs. The Paix-des-Braves reservoir in Québec was one of the first reservoirs to be studied in regards of its total carbon footprint, combining pre- and post-imp
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a health condition that forms clots in the body, ranking among the three most common diseases that cause death. Anticoagulants are prescribed as a therapy for three to six months, depending on the patient’s risk factors. However, some incidents of VTE are described as unprovoked, where there is no risk factor. In these cases, it is assumed that there is a genetic pr
This thesis examines the audiovisual productions featuring anashid released by Hamas’s armed wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, between October 7, 2023, and October 10, 2025, in an attempt to understand whether and how they function as mechanisms of ontological security. The existing literature on Hamas largely overlooks its cultural materials when addressing issues related to the governance of the Gaz
Deep reinforcement learning has driven remarkable progress in quadrupedal locomotion, yet the resulting controllers typically treat the robot's physical limits as soft penalties in the reward, offering no guarantee that joint limits, leg kinematics, or obstacle clearance are respected during or after training. Safe-exploration methods promise such guarantees, but they have been developed almos
This study examines the relationship between four dimensions of psychological capital (PsyCap) and nascent entrepreneurial activity among Ukrainian refugees residing in European host countries. Specifically, it analyzes how internally and externally sourced fear of failure moderates this relationship, focusing on the psychological and emotional barriers that may limit refugees’ entrepreneurial
Title: The Digital White Coat - A study on doctors identity work within digital healthcare Course: BUSN49, Degree Project in Managing People, Knowledge and Change Authors: Clara Bergh and Gustav Levin Supervisor: John Murray Date: 27th of May 2026 Purpose: The purpose of this study is to create a deeper understanding of how doctors working within digital healthcare construct and reconstruct their
Natural products continue to provide chemists with structural diversity, biological potential, and synthetic challenges. Two recently isolated sesquiterpene lactones feature an unprecedented structure, but natural scarcity necessitates synthesis to enable biological studies. Herein, we propose a semisynthetic strategy toward these targets, starting from more abundant natural products. A biomimetic
Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a long-term inflammatory disease of the middle ear that can cause persistent ear discharge and hearing loss. EarClean is an ear pipette intended to enable simple and cost-effective rinsing and cleaning of the ear canal. For safe clinical use, it is importantto evaluate whether the pressure generated during use may pose a risk of damaging the tympanic memb
Abstract Title: Responsibility Laundering: FIFA and the Discursive Maintenance of Legitimacy Course: Managing People, Knowledge and Change Authors: Aimar Soto and Jesper Laan Supervisor: John Murray Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how global organisations maintain legitimacy when operating across multiple and conflicting normative environments. The study’s goal is to understa
Urban pluvial flooding threatens transport accessibility, yet the spatial factors such as elevation, vegetation, and road density associated with accessibility loss remain insufficiently understood. This study assessed changes in nearest-facility travel time to hospitals, clinics, schools, supermarkets, and fire stations under a 100-year return period flood scenario in Stockholm, Sweden, for both
Problem Area: Hotel operations strive to deliver a seamless service experience while operating in a dynamic environment where demand fluctuates and is often actively driven through revenue management. This may push operations towards or beyond their operational capacity, creating tensions between economic objectives and operational conditions. Despite this, there is limited understanding of how th
Purpose: This study explores how employees from the three different diversity groups, individuals with mental health issues, neurodivergent employees and women with gendered care responsibilities, interpret return to office (RTO) policies and how these interpretations shape the employer-employee relationship. Methodology: This study presents a qualitative, interpretivist thesis grounded in symbol
This study explores how stakeholders interpret place mascots on social media and what place brand identity emerges from their interpretations. Strategic communication emphasizes the importance of understanding stakeholders when developing strategies. However, existing research on place brand identity mainly adopts a top-down and marketing-oriented perspective, focusing on how DMOs convey intended
