The aim of this thesis is to investigate what potential role eschatological anthropology played in the writings of the monk-bishop Diadochus of Photice (c. 400–c. 486) in order to ease some of the historical tension between the ecclesiastical tradition and the monastic tradition. To explore this topic, the writings attributed to Diadochus of Photice (the Century of Gnostic Chapters, the Homily on
Tracking objects in a scene is a crucial task in accomplishing surveillance that enhances security and provides valuable information about the events happening at the site. For this task, the PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras can be utilized to achieve fluid tracking as they provide all-around surveillance with zoom capabilities. The drawback of current tracking solutions is the lack of interoperability
Korslimmat trä, KL-trä, är ett förhållandevis nytt byggnadsmaterial i byggbranschen. Det består av ett udda antal skikt av lameller av konstruktionsvirke, där varje skikt av lameller ligger roterade 90 grader i förhållande till intilliggande skikt. Materialet används både i den bärande stommen och som stomkomplettering i form av exempelvis trappor. Idag finns endast en etablerad tillverkare på dCross-laminated timber, CLT, is a rather new building material. It consists of an odd number of layers consisting of lumber boards stacked together, where each layer is rotated 90 degrees in comparison to the adjacent layers. The material is used both as a load-carrying element as well as a non-load-carrying element, such as stairs. Today there is only one established producer of CLT in Sweden. D
Managing change is becoming increasingly crucial for organizations to survive in today’s contemporary work environment. However, change is “riddled” with ambiguity and uncertainty, affecting managers, employees, and organization as a whole. Middle managers, who are located in a peculiar position in the hierarchy are often tasked with having to interpret and guide others through change. This proces
Second-hand consumption is promoted as a tool for achieving sustainability goals, yet its actual environmental impact remains insufficiently quantified. This thesis examines the potential of second-hand shops to contribute to carbon reduction, focusing on carla, a Vienna-based second-hand initiative. While second-hand goods are generally assumed to reduce the demand for new products, this benefit
Till följd av en allt strängare lagstiftning kring marknadsföring av tobaksfria nikotinprodukter i Sverige har varumärket Loop utvecklat nya strategier för att synas i sociala medier utan att bryta mot rådande regler. Denna studie undersöker hur Loop iscensätter och kommunicerar sin varumärkesidentitet på Instagram genom strategisk kommunikation som undviker direkt produktreklam. Med utgångspunkt In response to increasingly strict regulations surrounding the marketing of tobacco-free nicotine products in Sweden, nicotine pouch brand Loop has adopted new strategies to maintain brand visibility and consumer engagement on social media. This study examines how Loop constructs and communicates its brand identity on Instagram in a legally restricted environment, using strategic communication tha
A search for flavour-changing neutral interactions involving the top quark, the Higgs boson and an up-type quark q (q = c, u) is presented. The proton-proton collision data set used, with an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1, was collected at (Formula presented.) TeV by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Both the decay process t → qH in tt¯ production and the production process pp
Time-varying signals, such as sound waves, low-frequency vibrations from the earth, or electrical impulses in the human body, are often non-stationary, meaning their characteristics change over time. Because of this, standard spectral analysis methods, which assume stationary signals, cannot be used for analyzing such signals, as they discard the time-varying dynamics. This necessitates methods fo
Introduction: The presence of fibrillatory waves (f-waves) is important in the diagnosis of atrial fibrillation (AF), which has motivated the development of methods for f-wave extraction. We propose a novel approach to benchmarking methods designed for single-lead ECG analysis, building on the hypothesis that better-performing AF classification using features computed from the extracted f-waves im
What if Women Ruled the World? Yael Bartana stages this question in her performative piece Two Minutes to Midnight. The all-female government of a fictional nation is tasked with addressing an imminent nuclear threat posed by a foreign power. A panel composed of actresses and real-life experts in defense, law, politics, and psychology gathers in a democratic “peace room.” This space reflects the t
The separation of multiple transmit waveforms with time and frequency synchronization constitutes a considerable challenge for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems. It is well-known that aliased signal returns may be separable by digital beamforming (DBF) on receive in elevation. However, the current orthogonal-waveform beamforming schemes significantly incr
Near-surface remote sensing techniques are essential monitoring tools to provide spatial and temporal resolutions beyond the capabilities of orbital methods. This high level of detail is especially helpful to monitor specific plant communities and to accurately time the phenological stages of vegetation - which satellites can miss by days or weeks in frequently clouded areas such as the Arctic. In
The “cultural turn” in memory studies acknowledges that collective memory has a distinctive social aspect reflected in the manner in which it is communicated orally from one individual or generation to another. However, the point of departure is the emphasis on the need to account for the fact that memory is, in equal measure, shaped and mediated by tangible channels such as texts, images, objects
The remodelling process in bones is closely related to electromechanical phenomena. In addition to streaming potentials and piezoelectricity, flexoelectricity has been found to serve as an initiator for remodelling in cortical bone. Since flexoelectricity is coupled to strain gradients, the effect is size-dependent and, accordingly, most relevant on small scales. This means that particularly micro
Animal migration is a fascinating phenomenon that has puzzled mankind since the time of ancient Greece. It is a process widespread across a varied range of taxa and it shines especially in birds which, because of their mobility, display an amazing diversity of routes and strategies. With the advances in tracking devices and improvements of sequencing technologies, recent work provides support for
In recent years, detailed studies of three-pion systems have become possible in lattice QCD. This has in turn led to interest in 3-to-3 scattering of pions in the chiral perturbation theory framework. In addition to being an interesting study of multi-meson dynamics in its own right, it provides a valuable handle on finite-volume effects and the pion mass dependence, thus complementing the lattice
Background: Pain is associated with falls, disability and a poor quality of life among older adults. It is highly prevalent in many societies, and studies have shown that pain could be preventable or managed more effectively at the population level. However, few studies have investigated who is at higher risk of pain in the general population, which is important for development of effective interv
Finding a wear resistant coating for cemented carbide cutting tools in the machining of difficult to cut Ti alloys is a challenge due to their high strength and chemical reactivity. Tool manufacturers recommend physical vapor deposited (PVD) TixAl1-xN (x = 0.4–0.7), and an extra NbN overlayer has shown promising potential. This study explores wear mechanisms of PVD Ti0.45Al0.55N with and without N
This essay posits artistic and curatorial strategies as modes of social improvisation that operate in relation to social and political imaginaries. It considers compositional mechanisms of artistic work as models of intervention that bear the potential to produce critical instances of an ephemeral de-instituting. I seek to develop further the term “destituent spaces” as a model for current curator
