This project centers on the experience of mindfulness training and investigates how industrial design can lower the barrier to everyday mindfulness practice while increasing bodily participation during training. The project begins with research on alexithymia, which draws attention to the relationship among emotional awareness, bodily sensations, and psychological training. As the research progr
A time-interleaved ADC analog front-end is presented with a sampling rate of 64GS/s. It has a hierarchical architecture of 2-4-4 giving 32 separate channels. Each channel is constructed by an input buffer, 1st rank (T/H), sub-buffer, and 2nd rank T/H. The complimentary clocking generation consist of a 32GHz differential signal divided down using a CML divide-by-4 and DFF divide-by-4 architecture.
This thesis examines how Poland has understood and articulated deterrence on NATO’s eastern flank in response to Russia’s gradual aggression, beginning with the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and culminating in the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Poland’s approach to deterrence is analysed across the dimensions of domestic politics, regional context and NATO cooperation. Using a discourse-or
This research examines the relationship between the language attitudes and language strategies of balanced Latvian-Russian bilinguals in Latvia, in the context of the country’s language policies, which shifted towards securitisation following the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war in 2022. To this end, the study proposes an explanatory model in which identity negotiation serves as the key med
This thesis examines state and nationalist narratives regarding four Russian national holidays: Defender of the Fatherland Day, Victory Day, Russia Day, and National Unity Day. The study was motivated by the observation that existing scholarship on Russian commemorative politics focuses almost exclusively on Victory Day, practically ignoring other national holidays, the examination of which reveal
Since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in 2022, state ideology and memory politics in Russia have undergone significant changes. This shift has been accompanied by the consolidation of official historical narratives and increasing pressure on alternative or critical ones. In particular, the commemoration of Stalinist repression has become more contested, with growing evidence of the destru
This thesis analyses the evolution of Russia’s influence in the Sahel between 2014 and 2025, focusing particularly on the intricate combination of narratives of soft power with practices of resource diplomacy to expand presence in the region. The analysis is guided by theoretical framework that draws on concepts from soft power theory and studies of Russian foreign policy, emphasising how narrativ
National Action Plans on Business and Human Rights (NAPs) are public policy instruments through which states operationalize the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs). Despite their proliferation, the role of domestic institutional actors in shaping NAP development and content remains empirically understudied. This thesis asks: in what manner, and to what extent, do
Entanglement is not an intrinsic property of a quantum state: it depends on how the total system is factorized into subsystems via a tensor product structure. Just as a coherent quantum state can be made to appear classical by representing it in its eigenbasis, an entangled state can always be made to appear separable in a suitably chosen factorization. However, the same is not true for a set of s
Spiral galaxies host elongated filamentary structures of dense gas and dust, known as feathers, which branch off the main spiral arms into the interarm regions and are associated with star formation. The physical mechanisms governing their formation remain debated, with magnetic fields proposed as one of the contributing factors. This thesis investigates the role of magnetic fields in feather form
This project concerns the Wannier functions of a two-dimensional electron gas within a simple periodic lattice. Wannier functions are an exponentially localized basis for elec tron bands and allow for real-space calculations of interacting electron systems. These functions are not unique; using the Wannier functions with minimal spatial spread is the standard in research. In this thesis, the maxim
The earliest morphologically identifiable dogs are from Europe and date to at least 14,000 years ago1, 2, 3, 4–5, although early remains are also found in other regions. The origin of early dogs in Europe, and their relationships to other dogs, has remained elusive in the absence of genome-wide data. Similarly, although dogs were the only domestic animal to predate agriculture, little is known abo
Emergence is a concept tied to particular ontological and epistemological assumptions. Here,(social) resilience is presented from a process-relational ontology and what the consequences ofsuch a definition entail for quantitative research processes. On one side, understanding (social)resilience as a process creates demands on methodology to measure the concept as it is dynamicallyunfolding, and on
'Social Resilience: Critical Responses to Change and Challenges' is an edited volume intended for researchers and post-graduate students interested in studying social resilience from a multi-disciplinary, social scientific perspective. The volume consists of eight chapters that explore the concept from diverse disciplinary angles employing different theoretical and methodological approaches. Repre
