For those who experience development-induced displacement and involuntary resettlement, they have to confront a range of adverse consequences, including the impoverishment risks, lifestyle and livelihood changes, and the precarity brought by asymmetrical power relations. Based on a case study of the Three Gorges Project (TGP), this research investigates the role of state law in shaping the identit
The coast is an ever-changing environment, and due to climate change, coastal research is becoming more challenging. To detect changes in the coastline, such as erosion, researchers need large amounts of data over long periods of time. Part of the solution could be the citizen science project CoastSnap – a global community beach monitoring program. The aim of this study was to examine factors that
When user interfaces are embedded in physical systems and cannot be accessed through conventional screen sharing, remote usability testing becomes challenging. This is increasingly relevant as products are developed for global markets, where remote evaluation is often necessary despite limited user interface access. This study investigates how alternative testing methods can be used and how they i
Understanding the role of conformational entropy in protein-ligand interactions remains a major challenge in rational drug design. In this work Galectin-3C (Gal-3C) complexes with glycomimetic macrocyclic ligands FS435 and FS471 were investigated using NMR spectroscopy. The ligands exhibit similar binding free energies, and calorimetric studies revealed significant enthalpy-entropy compensation. S
Title: When the Map Is Wet, Navigation Still Depends on It: Organizational Sensemaking and Digital Infrastructure Dependency Course: BUSN49, Degree Project in Managing People, Knowledge and Change – Master Level Authors: Clara Gerber and Ember Truppelli Supervisor: John Murray Purpose: This study examines how individuals within organizations make sense of digital infrastructure dependency when the
Selective catalytic oxidation (SCO) of ammonia is a interesting field of research and is becoming increasingly more popular due to ammonias role as a hydrogen carrier for ammonia based hydrogen production. With the rise of ammonia based hydrogen, focus now lies on finding cheap and efficient ways to remove unreacted ammonia from the final gas stream. This to be done, without burning or destroying
Companies continuously seek to improve both operational efficiency and financial performance. To support operations and enable investments, capital is required. An important consideration is capital binding, which refers to the amount of capital tied up within the business and the duration for which it remains tied up. While capital binding is often associated with inventory levels, it emerges thr
Offshore wind farms (OWFs) pose a potential threat to migratory birds, either as a barrier or as a result of lethal collisions. We aimed to demonstrate the temporal and spatial frames for potential mitigation measures for a rare and protected species. We analysed 74 autumn migration tracks for 65 GPS-tagged Caspian terns (Hydroprogne caspia) through an area with operating and planned OWFs. On thei
Within the field of Strategic Communication, geopolitical rivalries are increasingly understood as struggles for narratives and discursive dominance. This thesis explores a critical juncture in this landscape: the period between late 2025 and early 2026, marked by US President Donald Trump’s renewed push to acquire Greenland, stating the US would take it “one way or another”. The study examines ho
BackgroundThe Parkinson's Disease (PD) Home Diary (HD) is a common clinical outcome measure, but studies show only fair agreement between clinical observer and patient assessments, with no significant improvement after patient training.ObjectivesTo investigate the agreement between a clinical observer and relatives of PD patients when assessing the patient's motor status in the HD. Agreement was a
The COVID-19 accelerated shift towards hybrid workspaces places major pressure onworkplace communities and culture. This study explores the emergence of a collaborative academic workspace, which is still in the real estate development phase. The aim is to establish preconditions for community building, and the relationship between the community and the physical space. The study employs a qualitati
BackgroundConcerns around staffs’ and students’ interactions with commercial entities, for example drug companies, have led several North American medical schools to implement conflict of interest (COI) policies. However, little is known about COI policies at European medical schools. We analysed the content and strength of COI policies at Scandinavian medical schools.MethodsWe searched the websit
Background: In the validation of new imaging technology for children with Hirschsprung’s disease (HSCR), basic anatomical parameters of the bowel wall must be established specifically for this patient group. Aim: To explore differences in histoanatomical layers of bowel wall, comparing ganglionic and aganglionic bowel walls, and to examine if the bowel wall thickness is linked to patient weight. M
Objectives: : Knowledge of the correspondence between clinical ICD diagnoses and classification criteria fulfilment is crucial to interpret studies identifying cases via ICD codes. We assessed the degree to which patients registered with ICD-10 diagnoses of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in the Swedish National Patient Register (NPR) fulfil established PsA classification criteria. Method: Four hundred
Hydroxyapatite (HA) has been widely used as a bone substitute and more recently as a carrier for local delivery of bone targeted drugs. Majority of the approved HA based biomaterials and drug carriers comprise of micrometer sized particulate HA (mHA) or granules and can therefore only be used for extracellular drug release. This shortcoming could be overcome with the use of cell penetrating HA nan
The MAM blood group system (International Society of Blood Transfusion [ISBT] 041) consists of one high-prevalence antigen to date, first detected in a 31-year-old woman during her third pregnancy. Epithelial membrane protein 3 (EMP3) was recently identified as the gene coding the MAM antigen. Six unique genetic variants have been described in EMP3 in 11 MAM- individuals. EMP3 is an 18-kDa glycopr
