An emerging research topic in quantum thermodynamics is the study of entangled quantum heat engines, where the working medium consists of an entangled quantum system. These engines offer exciting platforms for exploring fundamental aspects of quantum thermodynamics, its intersection with quantum information theory and the nature of entanglement in general. In this bachelor’s thesis, the performanc
I den här examensuppsatsen ska jag undersöka de tre europeiska tillsynsmyndigheterna och i synnerhet den europeiska bankmyndigheten som skapades som efterföljare till de rådgivande kommittéerna (också kända som nivå tre kommittéerna) som existerade innan den finansiella krisen 2008. Det europeiska systemet för finansiell tillsyn skapades 2011. Det är ett system som till skillnad från tidigare systIn this thesis I will examine the European Banking Authority and to some extent, the European Securities and Markets Authority, that were created as successors to the advisory committees (or level three committees) that existed before the financial crisis of 2008. Created in 2011, the European System of Financial Supervision was given a greater role and more powers in regulating and supervising th
The aim of this thesis is to examine how the public artworks Fossil Composition (1955), Stone Flower (1955) and Tousle (1952), through their bureaucratic municipal processes, reflect the broader ideological ideas of the welfare state, or Folkhemmet, between 1951 and 1956. It also aims to examine what notions of intended municipal identity can be identified through the discourses surrounding the ch
I uppsatsen användes motor- och perceptions deltesten som tillhör Bender Visual- Motor Gestalt Test andra versionen (BGT-II) med en tillagd tidsvariabel för att utforska kognitiva nedsättningar i kliniska grupper. Skillnader utforskades både mellan vuxna deltagare med Autismspektrumtillstånd (ASD), Attention Deficits Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), komorbid ASD och ADHD (AuDHD) och friska kontrolleIn the present thesis the motor and perceptual subtests of the Bender Visual-Motor Gestalt Test second edition (BGT-II) with added exploratory time variables were utilized to explore cognitive deficits in clinical samples. Differences were explored both between adult participants with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), comorbid ASD and ADHD (AuDHD) and
Microvias are key enablers of next-generation high-speed and high-density electronic products. However, their signal-integrity performance can be affected by manufacturing-induced non-idealities, including tapered sidewalls caused by laser drilling and positional staggering caused by fabrication tolerances. This thesis investigates the impact of microvia vertical geometry and manufacturing-induced
In this episode, Prof. Benoit Mayer discusses the role of environmental impact assessment (EIA) in climate change mitigation
Wearable devices increasingly issue algorithmic verdicts on the body's recovery and readi-ness claims that may contradict what an athlete directly feels. This study examines how ama-teur endurance athletes make sense of the embodied rupture: the moment at which a weara-ble's recovery assessment conflicts with their own somatic knowledge. While Information Systems research has theorised how
The scale of the 21st-century urban housing challenge has prompted state actors in both the Global North and South to adopt increasingly interventionist approaches to ‘affordable’ housing production. This article draws on research in six cities (Shanghai, Nairobi, Paris, Casablanca, Salford and Rome) to discuss the changing relationship between housing, finance and the state through a global compa
Research on the intergenerational processes of development has predominantly focused on the adverse consequences of parental childhood adversity, leaving the cross-generational effects of positive childhood experiences (PCEs) largely unexamined. Building upon Developmental Psychopathology, positive psychology, and the HOPE framework, the present study addresses this gap by conducting two meta-anal
Slow conformational changes are often directly linked to protein function. It is however less clear how such processes may perturb the overall folding stability of a protein. We previously found that the stabilizing double mutant L49I/I57V in the small protein chymotrypsin inhibitor 2 from barley led to distributed increased nanosecond and faster dynamics. Here we asked what effects the L49I and I
Many science students struggle with using scientific language and making sense of scientific phenomena. Thus, there is an increased interest in science education research and public policy with regard to understanding and promoting scientific language use and sensemaking in science classrooms. However, there is a lack of comparative studies on how upper-secondary school students of different achie
The world is currently facing a biodiversity and climate crisis which are globally interlinked. Nature-based solutions (NBS), defined as “actions to protect, sustainably manage, and restore natural and modified ecosystems that address societal challenges effectively and adaptively, simultaneously benefiting people and nature” is part of the solution to these challenges. Here we give a status overv
Ventricular-arterial coupling (VAC) has independent diagnostic and prognostic value for cardiovascular (CV) risk stratification, but studies on its association with anthropometric and CV factors are sparse in young individuals without overt CV disease. We aim to provide descriptive data regarding VAC and its associations with CV risk factors in young adults without overt CV disease. For 631 (mean
In this article, we read the COVID-19 pandemic from a Lacanian perspective, in which trauma and ontological insecurity are at the heart of the analysis. Using a psychoanalytical approach allows us to grasp why the most common response to the pandemic consisted of intensified commitments to home, nationalism, and exclusionary bordering practices and, in effect, a return to geopolitical notions of “
The performance of timber in exposed environments is affected by several biotic and abiotic factors. For timber cladding and decking, two important aspects include reduced structural performance due to fungal decay and aesthetical changes resulting from superficial effects such as photodegradation and moulds. Predicting the long-term performance of timber is important because it enables rational m
Gender differences in achievement exhibit variation between domains and between countries. Much prior research has examined whether this variation could be due to variation in gender equality in opportunities, with mixed results. Here we focus instead on the role of a society's values about gender equality, which may have a more pervasive influence. We pooled all available country measures on adol
