Thesis Purpose: This study aims to shed light on how the integration of GenAI in political branding shifts voters' trust and perception of political persuasion attempts. Theoretical Perspective: The theoretical lenses of the Persuasion Knowledge Model and the Source Credibility Theory are used to explore how voters perceive and react to political entities using GenAI in their branding strategi
In Sweden, climate projections indicate longer growing seasons with more frequent extreme weather events, such as droughts and heavy rainfall, posing significant challenges to existing crop systems. Simultaneously, the sector is under growing pressure to reduce its environmental footprint, especially in response to agricultural nutrients runoff contributing to the eutrophication of the Baltic Sea.
The chirality-flow formalism has proven to simplify the calculations of helicity amplitudes to the extent that the matrix element corresponding to a Feynman diagram can immediately be written down. It has also shown to speed up the computation of scattering amplitudes through numerical implementations in MadGraph5_aMC@NLO. In this thesis we investigate if automated computation of amplitudes can be
The transition to renewable energy is a critical element in global efforts to combat climate change. This study explores the decarbonization pathway for Peru’s energy sector, emphasizing renewable energy integration in the electricity generation sector. Peru's rich renewable resources—hydropower, wind, solar, geothermal and biomass—highlight its potential as a regional leader in sustainable en
In this project I investigate how architecture can give form to an institution that creates the conditions for negotiation between competing narratives. It is situated at Sillhovstomten, the contested site behind the Nationalmuseum in central Stockholm. The failed Nobel Center proposal on this site revealed that it is not an empty void awaiting to be filled, but a place where different political,
Background: Dietary management of phenylketonuria (PKU) focuses on restricting phenylalanine (Phe) intake. The European PKU guidelines and the PKU Dietary Handbook recommend a simplified PKU diet, allowing unrestricted consumption of many low-Phe foods, called free foods. While this approach may reduce the treatment burden for patients, its implementation varies. This study investigated practi
This essay is a presentation of the elegy for cities in Andalusí-Arabic poetry. In this essay, which is a presentation, the reader is presented with three full poems of Andalusi-Arabic Elegy for lost cities, brief analyses of the poems in terms of content and style, background information concerning the poems, short biographies of the poets. Different aspects of the Andalusí-Arabic elegy for citie
By way of a diachronic analysis the semantic changes of Japanese first person pronouns will be discussed. The goal of the analysis is to shine some light on the history and evolution of Japanese pronouns in the first person and in so doing show that these pronouns have been subjected to change semantically throughout history. To bolster the analysis research in the form of a survey has been conduc
This thesis explores the functionality of Extend Producer Responsibility (EPR) in the management of Electrical and Electronic waste (e-waste) in Kenya using a case study on manufacturer involvement in end-of-life management. To achieve the purpose of the study the analytical framework used incorporates Environmental effectiveness, Economic efficiency, Political acceptability, Administrabilty and I
Humanity is facing one of the greatest challenges ever. Climate change and global warming is a great risk and our consumption and dependency of fossil fuel are important causes of this accelerating issue. My thesis aims to design an entry for the professional debate about what urban areas in a fossil free future might be like. I’m investigating how an urban environment that requires as little tra
Subcortical deafferentation of the hippocampal formation is known to induce profound behavioural deficits. Transplants of fetal septal or brainstem tissue are capable of restoring some aspects of normal physiological and behavioural function in subcortically deafferented (i.e. fimbria-fornix or septal lesioned) rats. Such grafts have been shown to re-establish extensive new afferent inputs to the
Relative population of states in 11B following the 12C(γ,p) reaction has been measured with high resolution using the deexcitation γ-ray technique. The states near 7 MeV in 11B are clearly resolved and the measured population clarifies earlier conflicting data. Comparison of the results with new calculations indicates the importance of both one-nucleon and multinucleon processes.
K-best Schnorr-Euchner (KSE) decoding algorithm is proposed in this paper to approach near-maximum-likelihood (ML) performance for multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) detection. As a low complexity MIMO decoding algorithm, the KSE is shown to be suitable for very large scale integration (VLSI) implementations and be capable or supporting soft outputs. Modified KSE (MKSE) decoding algorithm is fu
The 21+ isomer in 94Ag has recently been reported to have a two-proton decay branch to 92Rh. We have populated 92Rh through the 40Ca(58Ni,alphapn) reaction at 240 MeV, and have performed detailed spectroscopic measurements of the levels, finding new states and measuring angular distributions of gamma rays. We find no evidence for the states reported to be populated by the two-proton decay of 94Agm
Measurements achieved with ptychographic imaging are a special case of diffraction measurements. They are generated by illuminating small parts of a sample with, e.g., a focused X-ray beam. By shifting the sample, a set of far-field diffraction patterns of the whole sample is then obtained. From a mathematical point of view those measurements are the squared modulus of the windowed Fourier transfo
