Political violence in Athens exhibits distinctive spatial and temporal regularities shaped by the city’s symbolic infrastructure, mobility patterns, and socio-political dynamics. This thesis integrates environmental criminology with spatially explicit machine-learning techniques to examine risk patterns of politically motivated violence between 2008 and 2024. Using a multi-layered dataset of 610 a
Denna studie undersöker de interpretativa och tekniska krav som ställs på violinisten i Alfred Schnittkes Concerto Grosso nr. 1, med särskilt fokus på verkets dialog mellan det förflutna och nutiden. Genom en detaljerad analys av violindelarna utforskar forskningen avancerade stråk-, artikulations- och intonationsstrategier som krävs för framförandet, samt effektiva övningsmetoder. Den formella anThis study explores the interpretative and technical demands placed on the violinist in Alfred Schnittke’s Concerto Grosso No. 1, with particular attention to the work’s dialogue between past and present. Through a detailed examination of its violin parts, the research investigates advanced bowing, articulation, and intonation strategies required for performance, as well as efficient practice meth
In the easternmost Sveconorwegian Province, field studies have shown that some intrusions remained largely unaffected by the Sveconorwegian orogeny. However, seemingly pristine gabbros locally display the incipient development of amphibolite amphibolite-facies mineral assemblages in microscale corona textures. The primary objective of this study is to document in detail the microtextures that occu
The motivation to learn foreign languages is diminishing globally due to the dominance of English in business, media, and education, and additionally to the access it provides to the so-called global community and global identity. Nevertheless, smaller languages such as Swedish continue to be offered at universities worldwide, with students enrolling despite their limited societal use. This study
This thesis presents the development and evaluation of a virtual reality (VR) environment designed for integrated EEG, EMG, and joint movement data collection. The system combines immersive VR with biosignal acquisition technologies, including the Unicorn Hybrid Black EEG, the Myo Armband for electromyography and inertial sensing, and the Cyberglove for hand joint tracking. The goal was to create
Background: Magnetic resonance flow imaging is vital tool for modern cardiovascular medicine. However, it is resource intensive. Simulations can help develop magnetic resonance sequencing methods and can also facilitate use of AI models in the future by providing realistic test models to train on. Simulations of magnetic resonance imaging are often computationally demanding and the accuracy of the
Forskning om tidigare förekomster av kalkbildande nannoplankton är avgörande för att förstå deras roll i dagens klimatförändringar, samt för att kunna fastställa tidpunkten för deras uppkomst. Denna forskning begränsas dock av begränsat bevarande av nannofossil. En proxy för abundans av kalkbildande nannoplankton skulle därför vara användbar. Eftersom kalkbildande nannoplankton är idag de största Research of past calcareous nannoplankton abundances is essential for understanding their role in climate change of today, as well as being able to constrain the timing of their emergence. This research is however limited by preservation issues of nannofossils. A proxy for the abundance of calcareous nannoplankton would thus be useful. As calcareous nannoplankton are the largest producer of calciu
Arbetets syfte är att genom intervjuer ta reda på hur viktigt samverkan och företagsamhet är för alla musiker och kompositörer. Hur hör detta ihop med lyssnande och samverkan i repetitions- eller konsertsalen? Vad tycker dirigenten är viktigt för att driva en orkesterrepetition framåt? Vilken väg ska en kompositör gå för att komma i kontakt med konserthusen? Med intervjuer av kollegor och professoThe aim of the work is to find out through interviews how important collaboration and entrepreneurship are for all musicians and composers. How does this relate to listening and collaboration in the rehearsal or concert hall? What does the conductor think is important to drive an orchestral rehearsal forward? What route should a composer take to get in touch with concert halls? Through interviews
In this thesis, we evaluate the side-channel security of the NIST HQC post-quantum cryptosystem by analysing the official FPGA decapsulation implementation. A hardware wrapper was created to interact with the HQC decapsulation modules, enabling ciphertext decapsulation with precise power trace capturing using a ChipWhisperer CW305 and Husky setup. A dataset with 20k power traces was generated from
This thesis presents the design, fabrication, and characterization of molybdenum–rhenium (MoRe) based MOSFET on InAlAs and InGaAs heterostructures, aiming to integrate superconducting contacts with III–V semiconductors for hybrid quantum compatible devices. The study addresses interfacial challenges that limit contact transparency and investigates different surface preparation and passivation tech
Artificiell intelligens har under de senaste åren fått en allt större betydelse inom hälso- och sjukvården. En framväxande tillämpning är AI-verktyg för journalföring, som automatiserar delar av det administrativa arbetet genom att omvandla tal till text, strukturera anteckningar och i vissa fall föreslå diagnoser eller remisser. Verktygen kan effektivisera vårdpersonalens arbete, men väcker samtiIn recent years, artificial intelligence has gained increasing importance within the healthcare sector. One emerging application is AI medical scribes, which automate parts of administrative work by converting speech to text, structuring clinical notes, and in some cases suggesting diagnoses or referrals. These tools have the potential to improve the efficiency of healthcare professionals, but at
Climate change poses significant challenges, demonstrated by climate threats that are becoming increasingly severe and frequent. This creates a higher need for uncertainty communication that considers risk-based decision-making. Global climate research, synthesised by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), is a starting point for regional climate assessments, for which the Swedish M
As plastic pollution in aquatic environments persists, gaining a deeper understanding of nanoparticles has become increasingly important. Yet, the question remains: what happens to plastic as it breaks down into smaller components, and ultimately, what end products are formed? Current plastic degradation methods are limited in their environmental applicability and efficiency. This study aims to pr
Quantitative Risk Analysis (QRA) for hazardous materials facilities remains dominated by event tree partitioning into discrete scenarios, with many calculations performed manually. This study formalizes the classical individual and societal risk metrics within the framework of probability theory. The resulting framework enables deeper theoretical inquiry and makes underlying assumptions explicit.
Det kraftigt förändrade omvärldsläget och den nu förändrade miljön som Sveriges armé förväntas agera i ställer allt högre krav på tillgängligheten hos arméns tekniska system. En möjlig lösning för att underlätta planering och genomförande av underhåll är användningen av digitala beslutsstödsystem. Den här studien utforskar vilka funktionaliteter som bör finnas i ett beslutsstödsystem som är anpassThe significantly altered global security environment and the changing operational context in which the Swedish Army is expected to act place increasing demands on the availability of the Army’s technical systems. One possible solution to facilitate the planning and execution of maintenance is the use of digital decision support systems. This study explores which functionalities should be included
Transforming our economy from linear to circular requires new types of businesses in the manufacturing sector, material flows change from global to local. Our cities need to make room for manufacturing again, to repair, upcycle, design, make, resell, and produce local solutions. This presents an urban design challenge, how does a manufacturing area fit in to the climate adapted city needed to redu
This thesis focuses on developing energy barrier models that increase photovoltaic hot carrier extraction efficiency. Hot carriers are electrons containing an excess of kinetic energy and the energy required to leave the valence band. In mitigating losses and increasing the efficiency of solar cells, hot carriers offer the opportunity to extract this kinetic energy. The study of extracting the kin
