Characterising TOI-732 b and c: New insights into the M-dwarf radius and density valley★,★★

Context. TOI-732 is an M dwarf hosting two transiting planets that are located on the two opposite sides of the radius valley. Inferring a reliable demographics for this type of systems is key to understanding their formation and evolution mechanisms. Aims. By doubling the number of available space-based observations and increasing the number of radial velocity (RV) measurements, we aim at refinin

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Global TAVR Activity: The COVID-TAVI Study

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected health care systems. Patients in need of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are especially susceptible to treatment delays. Objectives: This study sought to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on global TAVR activity. Methods: This international registry reported monthly TAVR case volume in participating institutions prior to

Green Football? Realms of Carbon and the Politics of Decarbonisation

This study develops the concept of 'realms of carbon’ to advance an understanding of climate politics in sites where carbon production and consumption, generating carbon emissions, is embedded in culture and identity. It does so by drawing on insights of three different theories, which in different ways, deal with dimensions of culture and identity to economic and political life. The study fur

Are sanctions actually justifiable?

There has been an upswing of liberal governments within the European Union over the past few decades and a way of handling these developments have been sanctions. Countries such as Poland, Hungary and Austria all have in various ways seen the consequences of these sanctions. This thesis examines whether the use of sanctions towards member states in the EU should be seen as justifiable if a state v

Pipelines, provocateurs and pacifists

Would you fight climate change at any cost? In the modern day debate, opinions on the appropriate measures to draw attention to the climate crisis are divided. When conventional methods fall short, some activists resort to more assertive approaches. The green left is debating climate strategies, with intellectuals like Andreas Malm and Alf Hornborg offering opposing views on the morality and effec

"Det är bara käbbel"

Every election, millions of Swedes go to vote to determine which party will govern for the coming four year period. For those not particularly interested in politics, televised debates help to gather information before the election. Some of the debates can be watched by up to almost a million people according to Swedish Public Service, which gives the debates power to shape the election result. Be

Nostalgia as a Tool to Revitalize brands: a case study of the Barbie and Super Mario Bros films

The purpose of the study is to explore the relationship between nostalgia, brand perception and brand community, aiming to provide insight in effectively revitalizing through brand extension. Further, we aim to assess whether a shift in brand perception is a prerequisite for brand revitalization. This qualitative study utilized focus groups to explore the use of nostalgia in brand extensions and i

The Race to Success: Navigating the Roadblocks to Formula E's Popularity

Purpose: Formula E, the electric counterpart to Formula 1, has not achieved the same level of popularity among consumers. The purpose of this paper is to understand why Formula E has not been as successful as Formula 1 and the barriers to consumer adoption of Formula E. Design/Methodology/Approach: This paper employs a qualitative approach through multiple case studies on Formula 1 and Formula E.

Turning Consumers into Supporters: Understanding Loyalty Through Football Teams

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine the fans’ perspective of sport team loyalty and the reasons why brand loyalty is extremely high within sports. Methodology: This paper uses a qualitative research method with both primary data and secondary data. The literature review with previous research was collected by secondary data whereas the primary data was collected by six semi-structured

Virtual H&E Staining Using PLS Microscopy and Neural Networks

Histopathological examination, crucial in diagnosing diseases such as cancer, traditionally relies on time- and resource-consuming, poorly standardized chemical staining for tissue visualization. This thesis presents a novel digital alternative using generative neural networks and a point light source (PLS) microscope to transform unstained skin tissue images into their stained counterparts. This

Multivariate time series classification in time-sensitive environments using deep learning

Elektriker och servicepersonal vistas frekvent inom områden där högspänningskomponenter förekommer. Detta arbete undersöker möjligheten att utnyttja maskininlärning, mer specifikt djupinlärning som grund i ett system som varnar elektriker och servicepersonal om strömförande komponenter och ledningar.In this thesis, sensor data from substations and distribution centrals in Sweden and Germany is analysed and used to predict the voltage environment which the device is within. The theory needed for understanding the measured values is explained, and the notion of multivariate time series is introduced along with the reason for using deep learning to solve the problem at hand. Several ways of extr

Needs of amyloidosis patients and their care providers : design & first results of the AMY-NEEDS research and care program

Background: Amyloidosis represents a rare yet heterogeneous multi-system disorder associated with a grave prognosis and an enormous psycho-emotional strain on patients, relatives, and caregivers. We here present the overall study design and first results of AMY-NEEDS, a research program aiming to systematically assess the needs of patients suffering from amyloidosis, their relatives and health car

Human behaviour in fire : Knowledge foundation and temporal evolution

Understanding human behaviour in fires (HBiF), whether in building or wildland fire contexts, is crucial for saving lives and managing evacuations. However, existing research lacks a comprehensive analysis of HBiF knowledge from both perspectives. To address this issue, we examined nearly 1900 HBiF-related research papers and their references, identifying around 6600 frequently cited references as

Curriculum Emphases, Mathematics and Teaching Practices : Swedish Upper-Secondary Physics Teachers’ views

This article addresses physics teachers’ views about physics teaching in upper-secondary school. Their views have been investigated nationwide through a web-based questionnaire. The questionnaire has been developed based on several published instruments and is part of an ongoing project on the role of mathematics in physics teaching at upper-secondary school. The selected part of the results from

System-size dependence of the hadronic rescattering effect at energies available at the CERN Large Hadron Collider

The first measurements of K∗(892)0 resonance production as a function of charged-particle multiplicity in Xe-Xe collisions at sNN=5.44 TeV and pp collisions ats=5.02 TeV using the ALICE detector are presented. The resonance is reconstructed at midrapidity (|y| < 0.5) using the hadronic decay channel K∗0 →K±π∓. Measurements of transverse-momentum integrated yield, mean transverse-momentum, nuclear

Measurement of the tt¯ cross section and its ratio to the Z production cross section using pp collisions at s=13.6 TeV with the ATLAS detector

The inclusive top-quark-pair production cross section σtt¯ and its ratio to the Z-boson production cross section have been measured in proton–proton collisions at s=13.6 TeV, using 29 fb−1 of data collected in 2022 with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Using events with an opposite-charge electron-muon pair and b-tagged jets, and assuming Standard Model decays, the top-quark-pair

Observation of Wγγ triboson production in proton-proton collisions at s=13 TeV with the ATLAS detector

This letter reports the observation of W(ℓν)γγ production in proton-proton collisions. This measurement uses the full Run 2 sample of events recorded at a center-of-mass energy of s=13 TeV by the ATLAS detector at the LHC, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb−1. Events with a leptonically-decaying W boson and at least two photons are considered. The background-only hypothesis is rej
