The increasing number of processing elements, memories, and accelerators in modern systems-on-chip places growing demands on on-chip communication. This thesis presents ToPoNoC, a topology-parametric Network-on-Chip implemented in Chisel with Mesh, Ring, and hybrid Mesh–Ring configurations. The design combines packet/flit transport, virtual-channel buffering, deterministic routing, packet-level ar
Estimating perfusion information from diffusion MRI (dMRI) demands an accurate model of flow and geometry in the microvascular network. While models of flow in the diffusive and ballistic regime are well explored, modelling in the intermediate regime constitutes a significant challenge. Approaches are often complex, and simpler models are necessary to gain insight. The aim of this thesis is to est
Many of the world’s languages have several adnominal possessive constructions. Their use may be governed by several factors, one of which is the ‘animacy’ of the possessor noun phrase. The present thesis investigates this factor in the choice of possessive construction in eleven different traditional Swedish dialects. While similar studies to the present one have been conducted for other linguisti
This ethnographic study examines how activists engaged in migrant solidarity in Lesbos and Athens contest, experience, and participate in bordering. It demonstrates that activists contest border violence by politicizing migrant deaths, challenging dominant narratives, and organizing forms of resistance, while also becoming subject to bordering through the anticipation of legal risk and visible
Recent research, such as MobileLLM, suggests that "deep-thin" architectures are optimal for sub-billion parameter language models. This work re-examines this design philosophy at the extremely small scale of 60M parameters. We first established a reproduction pipeline using 80M models on RedPajama, and subsequently conducted a systematic comparison of 60M architectures trained on FineWeb
This thesis examined to what extent Japanese newspapers’ reporting practices may contribute to the legitimisation and normalisation of the xenophobic, far-right populist party Sanseito and its views. While Japan was long considered an exception to the global right-wing populist wave, the anti-immigration, far-right populist Sanseito attracted a surge in votes and became the third-largest oppositio
The healthcare sector in Sweden is currently undergoing a transformation through digitalization, where old electronic health systems are being modernized with the procurement of new EHRs. The procurement of these systems have been under scrutiny in the media for the reason of the procurements being done poorly, in addition to not performing as promised. This thesis examines the case of the impleme
ABSTRACT This paper examined the strategies employed by Romanian political actors to (co)construct, disseminate and challenge competing narratives during the 2026 tax increase proposal on Facebook and TikTok. To achieve this, a qualitative case study approach was used, involving a systematic multimodal discourse analysis of a purposive sample of 20 Facebook posts and 20 TikTok videos published be
With increasing population growth and urbanization, the demand for new construction continues to rise. This expansion places significant pressure on the environment. It contributes to reduced daylight and sunlight access, an increase in hard, heat absorbing surfaces, and the deterioration of outdoor thermal comfort. It also exposes urban residents to higher levels of air pollution and noise, while
Simulations of light transport in medical tissue require three optical properties such as the absorption coefficient, the scattering coefficient, and the scattering phase function - describing into which direction photons propagate after a single scattering event. Finding the optical poperties of diffuse media is challenging. In medical tissue the scattering phase function is approximated by using
This thesis examines to the extent to which grassroots peacebuilding organisations in Sri Lanka use feminist peacebuilding and gender transformative framework theories to design programmes for war widows in Sri Lanka. It also aimed to analyse the barriers and enabling conditions that influence how monitoring, evaluation, accountability and learning (MEAL) mechanisms are used by the organisations t
This thesis provides a morphosyntactic analysis of three Standard Modern Greek verb classes under the framework of Nanosyntax. It covers the non-past imperfective, perfective and perfective passive forms of these verbs and addresses several troublesome issues such as conjugation classes, unnatural rules and an instance of non-local allomorphy in a purely principled way, without resorting to any po
Psychedelic experiences can be followed by beneficial or adverse psychological changes. However, proposed mechanisms rarely explain this divergence within a single temporal model. This study conducted a preliminary examination of the Pivotal Mental States (PiMS) framework, which conceptualizes psychological transformation as an outcome-agnostic process influenced by context before, during, and aft
Open-field tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) production in the western Mediterranean is increasingly exposed to temperatures exceeding reproductive thresholds. Existing projections focus on the largest processing regions, the United States, Italy, and China, and omit the two producers that anchor Mediterranean supply on either side of the Strait of Gibraltar. Neither Spain, the region's second-
Modern wireless communication systems are increasingly operating in high-frequency bands to support applications requiring low latency, high bandwidth, and high data rates. Achieving reliable performance in these bands requires accurate channel characterization, particularly in complex indoor settings such as industrial environments, where numerous objects influence radio signal propagation throug
This thesis examines the relationship between access to information and access to justice for third-country workers alleging violations of freedom of association linked to European corporate activity. It focuses on the potential of the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) to reduce information asymmetries and eviden
In a society defined by constant stimuli and the demand for achievement, where do we go when we just need to catch our breath? This project explores how architecture can address the need for stillness, contemplation and religious practice in everyday life by designing a “room of silence” on the LTH campus. Through study visits, interviews and sketching, several architectural aspects were identifi
The current study compares the efficiency and effects of a combination of keyword mnemonics and mnemonics stories in comparison to rote learning in kanji acquisition. A sample of students of beginner's Japanese were recruited for the experiment and randomly assigned to either the rote learning- or the mnemonics condition. The target characters consisted of 14 composite kanji, which were carefu
This study investigates how recruitment consultants experience moral stress and perceive ethnic discrimination in recruitment processes. While moral stress has been widely studied in healthcare its relevance in recruitment, especially among external consultants, remains underexplored. Using a qualitative design with a critical realist approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted and themati
