A combination of searches for new heavy spin-1 resonances decaying into different pairings of W, Z, or Higgs bosons, as well as directly into leptons or quarks, is presented. The data sample used corresponds to 139 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV collected during 2015–2018 with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Analyses selecting quark pairs (qq, bb, tt¯, and tb)
This paper presents the measurement of fiducial and differential cross sections for both the inclusive and electroweak production of a same-sign W-boson pair in association with two jets (W±W±jj) using 139 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data recorded at a centre-of-mass energy of s = 13 TeV by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The analysis is performed by selecting two same-charge
This thesis engages with the role of social movements within development studies by analysing how these movements relate to their context and how LGBTIQ movements contribute to current studies on grassroots’ contribution to development. It analyses how the historical and current context of in Cape Town, South Africa impacts it LGBTIQ movement and its internal dynamics through the multi- institutio
The Internet’s importance and the threats it faces make the global governance system crucial. The EU’s influence on these global governance principles is understudied, making the level of unity and effectiveness indefinite. This thesis aims to uncover this gap in the research, leading to the research question: How can the EU unite and be effective when negotiating global internet governance princi
Corporate sustainability (CS) has gained widespread recognition, coinciding with an increased focus on climate change. The media plays an important role in shaping public perceptions and policies regarding CS, the extent of non-financial information disclosure, and influencing how industries are viewed. However, the pharmaceutical manufacturing sector is significantly under-researched in relation
The growing demand for corporate transparency and sustainability has intensified the need for effective sustainability reporting, especially in industries like fashion, which face significant environmental and social challenges. This study examines how Patagonia, a leader in sustainable fashion, applies the Double Materiality (DM) framework in its social media communications, focusing on Instagram
This study investigates the financial effects of the European Union’s Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD), with a particular focus on whether firms’ greenhouse gas emissions influence the financial impact of these regulations. While previous research has examined the impact of ESG disclosures on financial performance, no studies have investigated whether a firm’s environmental risk, as measur
The topic of Nord Stream 2 was a centrepiece of many discussions about reliance on Russia despite its dubious actions against Ukraine since 2014. The decision to construct the pipeline in 2015 and continue it despite many objections from both inside and outside of the European Union in the following years only fed the discourse. This thesis asks the following Research Question: To what extent can
Urban sustainability depends on both green infrastructure and safe, accessible cycling networks, yet these systems often come into conflict. Tree roots can disrupt paved cycle paths, causing surface deformation that compromises user comfort and safety while increasing maintenance demands. This thesis examines the drivers of root-related damage in cycle infrastructure, focusing on interactions betw
This thesis examines contemporary Danish public discourse on fertility and demography, where anxiety over declining fertility among women of Danish origin coexists with anxiety over immigrants and their descendants becoming a future demographic majority. The empirical material consists of documents from and adjacent to Danmarks Statistik (2019–2025) and news coverage from Politiken and Danmarks Ra
This study examines Turkish foreign policy toward Syria through the lens of historical materialism. Departing from mainstream analyses that treat economy and politics as separate spheres, it situates class dynamics at the core of foreign policy formation, arguing that Ankara's engagement is systematically driven by the imperative to convert conflict into economic opportunity for Turkish capita
