In this thesis, we investigate the random normal matrix model in which the eigenvalues correspond to the two-dimensional Coulomb gas at inverse temperature β = 2. The thesis consists of seven papers concerning differentaspects of the random normal matrix model. The main topics of the thesis are asymptotics of the correlationkernel, fluctuations of linear statistics, asymptotics of the partition fu

The scope of this Master Thesis project is divided in two parts. In the first part, the objective is to characterise various strains of Azotobacter vinelandii under diazotrophic conditions with regards to growth rate and production of metabolites, such as ammonium or PHB. This will allow for an assessment on which nitrogen fixing strain displays the most promising results for use in the second par

Recent scholarly attention has focused on YouTubers' advertising practices and their influence on young followers' understanding of commercial content. Although previous studies primarily explore children's advertising literacy, they often treat YouTubers' influencer marketing as a unified phenomenon. This article distinguishes between two types of advertising: sponsored content and merchandise (m

For many children, their home is where they first encounter digital media technologies. The aim of this study is to investigate how children 0 – 3 years old engage in digital media. We address digital literacies as a sociocultural mindset and a toolbox with attention to skills and comprehensions as well as how children express their agency. The overall research question is: What skills, comprehens

Denna avhandling presenterar utvecklingen och studiet av en flexibel och kiselchip-kompatibel integration av III–V nanotrådsbaserade (NW) optoelektroniska komponenter i nätverkskretsar, där kommunikation sker genom utsändning av ljussignaler. Detta innefattar en undersökning av hur neurala bearbetningsbeteenden kan efterliknas med hjälp av fotoniska kretsar på chip. Både experimentella resultat soThis thesis presents the development and study of a flexible and Silicon-chip compatible integration of III–V nanowire (NW) optoelectronic components in network circuits, where communication is done via the broadcasting of light signals. This includes an investigation into how neural processing behaviours can be emulated using on-chip photonic circuits. Both experimental works that demonstrate the

Precision laser frequency stabilization is an important part of modern optical metrology, with applications ranging from atomic clocks to fundamental tests of physics. However, the frequency stability of the ultrastable cavities used in these experiments is fundamentally limited by thermal noise in the mirrors of the cavity. The thermal noise causes the atoms that form the mirrors to move randomly

The upstream ends of global supply chains – where raw material extraction or production takes place – are often hotspots for severe sustainability issues such as deforestation, biodiversity loss and human rights violations. Companies are under growing scrutiny from regulators, investors and civil society to ensure upstream-end supply chain sustainability. Yet, companies typically lack visibility b

This short subject studies configurations of animation and live action in contemporary Swedish documentary film. While digitization has challenged the indexical image’s verifying function, animation has been elevated to the level of legitimate document. The epistemological boundaries of documentary film have consequently been expanded, and now include the inner worlds of social subjects. In Gömd (
