Understanding the quality of eye-tracking recordings, often characterized using accuracy, precision, and data loss, is crucial for the interpretation of eye tracking data. Eye-tracking data quality can furthermore place fundamental limits on what studies can be conducted with an eye tracker, and one may be required to report eye-tracking data quality when publishing a study. However, how does one
This article examines a corpus of seventeenth-century letters written by Japanese-born Christian women exiled to Batavia following Tokugawa Japan’s anti-Christian measures of the late 1630s. Known as jagatara-bumi (Jakarta letters), these texts were produced under conditions of enforced separation, delayed communication, and close surveillance, circulating through Dutch, Chinese, and Nagasaki inte
Fire has shaped terrestrial ecosystems for hundreds of millions of years. Human activities dramatically shift natural fire regimes, leading to adverse conservation impacts that are projected to increase in severity. Many animals appear ill-equipped to face these drastic changes, and they may be unable to adapt rapidly enough. In contrast, behavioural plasticity could offer a faster solution to ach
In the hardware development space, field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are in a unique position as a result of their in-field re-programmability. In contrast to the traditional design process of integrated circuits, FPGAs allow iterative de- velopment workflows closely resembling software development’s sprint-based pro- totyping. For this to work, efficient workflows for verification are key. V
Denna masteruppsats har som mål att utvärdera på vilket sätt nivån av presence inom virtuell verklighet (VR) påverkar användares prestation i en miljö när de ut- för uppgifter. Den utvärderar även hur mycket ansträngning som bör läggas för att göra VR-miljöer mer realistiska i forskningssammanhang. Denna studie genom- fördes i två primära delar; först en utvecklingsfas där en gedigen informationss
This thesis explores how audiences experience and manage their guilty pleasures when listening to “bad” K-pop songs. By employing Goffman’s (1986) concept of stigma and Scambler’s distinction between stigma and deviance as the main analytical lenses, and drawing on other frameworks associated with taste, the study investigates how listeners understand, respond to, and justify their guilty pleasure
This thesis aims to deepen the understanding of women’s entrepreneurship in Skåne, Sweden, and to examine how entrepreneurial support organizations (ESOs) contribute to overcoming barriers in the business development process. Using a mixed-methods approach, including two literature reviews, four in-depth interviews, and a quantitative questionnaire, the study applies triangulation of empirical inf
Det svenska totalförsvaret befinner sig i ett expansivt skede där stora summor satsas på att öka rikets försvarsförmåga och resiliens. Parallellt med de materiella satsningarna bedrivs också forskning om invånarnas försvarsvilja med syfte att förstå och kartlägga befolkningens villighet att bidra genom olika försvarsstödjande insatser. För att kontextualisera och fördjupa den kvantitativa statist
This ethnographic study takes a phenomenological approach to examining the experiences of urban explorers in Sweden. Data collection took place in Skåne and Stockholm between October 2025 and February 2026, using the qualitative methods of semistructured interviews and participant observation. Urban exploration encompasses a wide range of practices; this thesis centers around its core aspect of vi
This article discusses the transformative role of web publishing of 3D digital collections in the context of archaeology, using the example of the BItFROST project - a pioneering initiative at the Museum of Cultural History, University of Oslo. Using the Dynamic Collections framework, adapted from Lund University (https://www.darklab.lu.se/), BItFROST provides high-resolution, open-access 3D model
Objective: To describe the normal heart rate (HR) of healthy newborns ≥35+0 weeks’ gestation in the first 10 min after caesarean delivery (CD) with extrauterine placental transfusion, using dry-electrode ECG (NeoBeat). Design: Single-centre, prospective observational study. Setting: Norwegian County Hospital. Patients: Newborns ≥35+0 weeks’ gestation delivered by CD under regional anaesthesia were
Many preterm infants are exposed to multiple transfusion types during their admission in the neonatal intensive care unit. Yet, evidence supporting current practice consists of several randomized controlled trials and observational studies focusing on a single transfusion product at the time. Rather than approaching transfusions as three distinct categories as currently done in the literature, the
Ventricular function is vital in patients with single ventricles but repeated surgeries and changes in ventricular volume load may change the relation between longitudinal and radial function. To expand the knowledge of cardiac mechanics in this population, the aim of this study was to assess longitudinal and radial contribution to stroke volume using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in pa
Aims: 4D blood flow measurements by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) can be used to simplify blood flow assessment. Compressed sensing (CS) can provide better flow measurements than conventional parallel imaging (PI), but clinical validation is needed. This study aimed to validate stroke volume (SV) measurements by 4D-CS in healthy volunteers and patients while also investigating the influ
The protein Painless is an ion channel coupled receptor that is present in the mosquito Aedes aegypti transmitting yellow fever. The protein is activated by noxious heat. It has been a long-term goal to determine the protein structure and consequently be able to develop a mosquito repellant. The aims of the thesis were to purify and isolate heterologously expressed Painless from yeast cells and ex
Introduction: Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is a process that occurs often in biological environments, and elastin is a protein that utilizes it to form elastic fibres. Understanding elastin’s LLPS is very helpful for creating new biomaterials and researching diseases, where LLPS occurs. Background: The coacervation of elastin is widely researched, but the combination effects of salt, hea
