Introduction: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) frequently exists alongside psychiatric comorbidities. The coexistence of somatic diseases and ADHD constitutes a growing field of research. Method: This study aimed to examine the prevalence of common somatic diseases in adolescents with ADHD and compare them with those in adolescents without any psychiatric diagnoses. A cross-sectiona

Background: Psychiatric disorders have been associated with venous thromboembolism (VTE). However, to our knowledge, no nationwide study has examined the familial association between VTE and psychiatric disorders. Objectives: We took a pedigree-based approach and examined the risk of psychiatric disorders in offspring from extended pedigrees according to the densities of VTE in pedigrees. Methods:

Enzymatic hydrolysis using immobilized lipases for the production of free fatty acids and glycerol is a promising alternative to the current industrial standard. This study investigates a set of hydrolysis reactions catalysed by four different immobilization techniques to increase the knowledge on two-phase systems. The evaluation of how water purity, buffer salts, and water amount affect the reac

Abstract Seminar date: 2025-06-04 Course: BUSN79, Degree Project in Accounting and Finance Authors: Sanel Hadzic, Markus Garede Key Words: Sustainability-linked bonds, use-of-proceeds, Yield Spreads, Information asymmetry, signalling. Purpose: To investigate whether repeated issuance and a foreign currency influence the yield spread. Methodology: An ordinary least squares (OLS) regressions is impl

For unital and commutative algebras over an algebraically closed field, any inclusion of finite codimension can be characterised as a chain of inclusions of codimension 1. We investigate the behaviour of such chains when the said algebras are ideal subalgebras. That is, when they are sums of the base field with an ideal. So called single clustered polynomial subalgebras can be guaranteed to be con

Purpose: The study aims to examine whether health consciousness, as a cognitive heuristic, influences the impact of vegan labels, as external cues, on product attribute perceptions such as taste, health, and environmental friendliness, as well as on consumption intentions. As consumers face cognitive limitations when evaluating food products, this research aim to contribute to the understandin

Purpose: The objective of this study is to explore sojourners’ acculturation process within the context of retail spaces and gain a deeper understanding of market-mediated spaces in consumer acculturation. Methodology: The study employed a qualitative research approach. In total, 15 semi-structured interviews with sojourners from eight Asian countries were conducted. The analysis of the data was g

Purpose: This study pursues a purpose rooted in the research gap of brand perception of passive stakeholders, to address the under-explored role of passive stakeholders, particularly recruiters, in shaping and reshaping university perception. Research question: In which ways do brand perceptions differ between active and passive stakeholders of higher-educational institutional brands? Methodolo

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are clinically approved for mRNA-based vaccines and liver-targeted siRNA delivery. However, poor nucleic acid delivery efficiency limits their application in extrahepatic tissues and tumors. Here, using live-cell and super-resolution microscopy, we identify multiple distinct steps of inefficiencies in the cytosolic delivery of both siRNA and mRNA cargoes. Membrane damage

This thesis explores how a sustainable future for the Sinharaja forest reserve might be achieved. Sinharaja is the largest remaining tract of ancient rainforest in Sri Lanka, home to a diverse array of flora and fauna, the majority of which are endemic. While conservation efforts initiated by the Sri Lankan government provide a promising framework for protecting this unique landscape, challenges

This thesis explores the phenomenon of employee ambassadorship in the public sector within the framework of internal branding. The aim is to identify the factors that facilitate or hinder employee ambassadorship, particularly on an individual and organizational level. The study challenged the dominant managerial perspective on internal branding by establishing an employee-centered approach which r

As climate change accelerates, rising sea levels and eroding shorelines are reshaping our coastal landscapes. Short-term fixes, such as beach nourishment and offshore breakwaters, are proving increasingly ineffective and costly. In nations like Sri Lanka, where tourism is a vital pillar of the economy and heavily dependent on beaches, these transient measures have become financially unsustainable.

As digital content is taking up more and more space in everyday life, brands increasingly turn to social media platforms like TikTok to engage with audiences, especially young adults. However, with this increase also comes a rise in advertising skepticism and users’ heightened awareness of persuasive tactics employed by brands. As a result, it has be-come essential for brands to appear authentic i

Internal social media (ISM) platforms have transformed internal communication by enabling dialogue, participation, and shared meaning-making across organizational hierarchies and locations. While previous research has highlighted ISM’s role in knowledge sharing and employee engagement, less attention has been paid to its function in shaping organizational identity from a managerial perspective. Th

This work seeks to investigate and answer how different perspectives during the sketching process can influence a project’s design and decision-making, as well as how it is expressed in the finished result. I mean to exemplify how the approach can be used as a tool to more strategically and fundamentally explore one’s own sketching process, to understand what really control and motivate critical d

Tokyo - the largest city in the world, full of skyscrapers, huge train stations, and large department stores. But in their shadows, in the tiny alleyways lined with bars and restaurants - one can find some of the most interesting aspects of the city. This thesis investigates Tokyo’s tiny alleyways that are remnants of the black markets that emerged throughout the city after the Second World War. T

The aim of this Master Thesis was to develop an anti-slip controller for a small single person electric vehicle to prevent slipping during acceleration. Due to limited space on the vehicle it is not possible to fit sensors for measuring the vehicle’s speed, and thus the traditional way of calculating slip by comparing wheel and vehicle speed is not possible. Another difficulty was the fact that th

Södra Sverige saknar planerbara energikällor. En gasturbin är en flexibel lösning på detta problem, men dess effekt kommer att variera beroende på var den placeras i det sydligaste elområdet SE4.In the SE4 bidding area in Sweden, there exist few sources of dispatchable power. The area relies on transmission from the north or intermittent production. The installation of a gas turbine could alleviate these issues in the near future and improve voltage stability and power transfer to the region. Depending on where this gas turbine is located, there will be differences in system performance.
