Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent and morbid abnormality of the heart rhythm with a strong genetic component. Here, we meta-analyzed genome and exome sequencing data from 36 studies that included 52,416 AF cases and 277,762 controls. In burden tests of rare coding variation, we identified novel associations between AF and the genes MYBPC3, LMNA, PKP2, FAM189A2 and KDM5B. We further identifie
This thesis investigates the weaponisation of healthcare in Ukraine during the ongoing conflict, analysing how deliberate attacks on medical infrastructure are not just violations of humanitarian law but systemic assaults on development, governance, and human security. Framed through a three-stage model: Disruption, Destabilisation, and Reconstruction, the study draws on Amartya Sen’s Development
As demand for nicotine pouches continues to grow globally, especially in the form of tobacco-free snus, efficient and scalable packaging solutions have become essential for producers. This report presents the design, development, and testing of a fully automated end-of-line packaging station using a collaborative robot (cobot), specifically the UR10e. The project was carried out in collaboration w
This study examines whether machine learning (ML) models can forecast daily Bitcoin price directions and generate statistically significant alpha in trading strategies. Employing a dual-model approach, we utilize a Random Forest (RF) classifier, leveraging its non-linear strengths and a LASSO-penalized logistic regression as a linear benchmark. Both models are trained on a comprehensive dataset o
This thesis examines the conditions under which the triangular simplification mechanism under Article 141 of the VAT Directive may apply to quadrangular chain transactions involving four taxable persons established or identified for VAT purposes across multiple Member States. The triangular simplification mechanism relieves the intermediary operator in a three-party chain transaction from register
This thesis investigates how human rights responsibility is constructed and negotiated between the Zambian state and foreign mining companies in Zambia’s mining sector under conditions of economic dependence on foreign investment. The study is motivated by observations from an internship in Zambia, where mining was consistently framed as central to development while questions of responsibility rem
The geopolitical competition between the United States and China over artificial intelligence has emerged as one of the defining dynamics of the 21st century. Yet despite a growing body of work on AI innovation, a structured and recent sectoral comparison of the conditions organizing AI development in each country remains underexplored. This thesis addresses that gap by applying Malerba's (200
In light of the current climate- and biodiversity crises, the political interest in peatlands has increased dramatically as these ecosystems hold the potential to address several urgent societal challenges. In Denmark, a political agreement from 2024 aims to restore 140.000 hectares of agricultural peatlands by 2030. The main goal is to reduce GHG emissions from agriculture and decrease nitrogen r
