On the path to creating magnetic confinement fusion devices, such as the tokamak, to demonstrate net energy gain, several obstacles remain in the way. One of the major issues for tokamaks are so called disruptions which consist of the plasma losing its confinement over a millisecond time scale. During these disruptions a fraction of the plasma electrons can get accelerated to relativistic energies
Does Chinese economic statecraft enable Beijing to buy foreign policy alignment? Debt-trap diplomacy narrative argue that rising financial commitments systematically force recipient nations into diplomatic alignment. This study tests that hypothesis using a global panel dataset of Chinese loans and United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) voting alignment from 2000 to 2021. The findings disclose no
This study is a qualitative case study, applying Roland Paris’ Institutionalization Before Liberalization (IBL) framework to EULEX’s state-building mission in Kosovo up until the most recent report in 2025. Former researchers have addressed the liberal peace as a formerly popular and currently contested peacebuilding model. In this study the EULEX mission is analysed with the theoretical lens of t
This thesis examines the 2021 Belarus-EU border crisis through the theoretical framework of coercive engineered migration (CEM). Following EU sanctions against Belarus after the disputed presidential election in 2020, Belarus was accused of facilitating migration flows towards the external borders of Poland, Lithuania and Latvia in order to make use of political pressure on the European Union. The
Recent years have seen a renewed focus on total defence in the Baltic states in response to a deteriorating European security environment. Sharing similar geographical conditions, historical experiences and vulnerabilities, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have all developed total defence concepts as a result of changing security dynamics due to Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014. However, the sta
This thesis used psychological safety as an analytical lens, alongside mianzi, guanxi, and zhongyong siwei, to examine voice, silence, and interpersonal risk in contemporary Chinese public and corporate discourse. Based on a qualitative analysis of 20 texts, the study found that "safety" appears mainly in two senses: supporting speaking and action, and maintaining psychological stability
This essay examines how the relationship between the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and superstition expresses itself in popular media by using Rebecca Nedostup's concept of superstitious regimes. Since the late 1800s, China has had a complex relationship with religion and the more negatively loaded superstition, which became an integral part in both the Guomindang’s (GMD) and the CCP‘s constru
Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of death and disability that occurs when the blood supply to the brain is obstructed. Functional recovery of lost brain functions relies heavily on plasticity. Pharmacological treatment with negative allosteric modulators of the metabotropic glutamate receptor type 5 (mGluR5 NAMs) enhances recovery after stroke by modulating neuronal activity underlying adaptive
This study investigates how South Korean Multicultural Family Policy depicts marriage migrant women as a problem throughout the migration life course, and examines the kinds of subjects these representations produce. Using Carol Bacchi's 'What's the Problem Represented to Be?' (WPR) approach and Foucault's concept of governmentality, the analysis focuses on all four Basic Plans
As chiplet-based architectures push systems towards using larger numbers of smaller dies, the area overhead of dedicated I/O becomes increasingly important, as pad geometries do not scale with Moore's law. We introduce a transaction‑based framework that enables capabilities beyond conventional IEEE 1149.1 JTAG, including dynamic re‑routing and selective broadcasting. The presented fabric‑reuse el
Hur skapas goda boendevillkor för alla?Den sociala bostadsfrågan är en av vår tids mest omdiskuterade samhällsfrågor. Bostadsbrist,segregation, hemlöshet, diskriminering och ökande boendekostnader väcker grundläggandefrågor om samhällets ansvar för bostad och boende.Bostadsfrågan är inte bara en social, ekonomisk eller politisk fråga. Den är också rättslig.I denna systematiska kunskapsöversikt kar
Public involvement (PI) - research conducted with or by members of the public - isincreasingly recognised as essential to high-quality intervention research. However,its role in Prevention Science, including within family-based interventions, remainsunclear. We conducted a scoping review following Arksey and O’Malley (2005),Levac et al. (2010) and JBI guidance (Peters et al., 2020). Peer-reviewed
Prediction markets are currently developing as a new source of information in the political landscape. The foundational idea of prediction markets is the conviction that markets are better than ordinary citizens, opinion polls and individual experts to predict political outcomes. The idea is underpinned by the theory of collective wisdom and by empirical research on market forecasts.
