Four-dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging (4D flow MRI) enables time-resolved assessment of intracardiac blood transport, but quantitative analysis requires workflows that convert complex velocity data into consistent and interpretable measures. This thesis aimed to develop and evaluate a semi-automated workflow in Segment for quantitative left-ventricular (LV) flow-component analysis. The
Background: Supply Chain Planning (SCP) is a business process that aligns supply and demand across procurement, production, distribution, and sales to improve customer service levels and reduce costs, while including multiple planning horizons (strategic, tactical, operational). Integrated Business Planning (IBP) serves as a framework that connects these horizons. By progressing through IBP maturi
This thesis is a feminist study of the technological intervention in the patriarchal-authoritarian-neoliberal configuration in China. It examines how the AI-girlfriend industry shapes emotional, romantic and sexual perceptions of women and intimacy. This research employs visual and textual critical discourse analysis, while further investigating public perception through an online survey and semi-
This study examines how LBO-based capital structures influence governance and decision-making in private equity-owned companies. The purpose is to investigate how high levels of debt function as a disciplinary mechanism, how this is reflected in the use of management control systems, and the organizational consequences that follow. The empirical data were collected through semi-structured intervie
Urban water systems in southern Sweden face increasing pressure from both short- duration intense rainfall, which can cause pluvial flooding and pollutant discharges, and more frequent dry periods, which motivate water reuse (IPCC 2023; Schimanke et al. 2022; Canedo Rosso et al. 2025). Rainwater harvesting (RWH) tanks can contribute to both goals (Campisano et al. 2017), but their detention benefi
Climate change increasingly affects urban areas through heatwaves, flooding and extreme weather events, while previous research shows that these impacts disproportionately affect vulnerable and marginalized groups. Therefore, integrating justice into climate adaptation planning has become an increasingly important issue in both research and policy. This study analyzes how four justice dimen sions
Sammanfattning I takt med att arbetsprocesser i allt högre grad organiseras genom automatiserade system förändras villkoren för hur nyanställda får tillgång till och utvecklar förståelse för arbete. Checklistor, kunskapsplattformar och systemförmedlade arbetsflöden kan göra arbetet tillgängligt som avgränsade moment, men innebär inte nödvändigtvis att arbetets praktiska sammanhang och situationsb
This thesis examines how young people in Finland make sense of profit-oriented drug selling and construct drug dealer identities. Drug use and related harms have increased globally in recent years. In Finland, an increase in minors selling drugs for financial profit has been noticed by the police and a non-governmental youth work organization Children of the Station. The aim of this thesis is to e
Magical realism and weird fiction are two genres that have become increasingly discussed in contemporary literary studies. However, previous research has largely focused on defining the characteristics of these genres, rather than on the specific readerly effects produced by their shared use of supernatural or impossible elements. I argue that it is not the presence of such elements alone that det
Målet med detta projekt är att designa en produkt som använder sig av MOLLE-system, ett modulärt bärsystem utvecklat av USAs armé. Systemet används för att fästa fickor till ryggsäckar, västar och annan utrustning. Dessa fickor är huvudsakligen designade för militär användning, för att hålla utrustning såsom magasin, granater, etc. Mitt mål är att applicera systemet i en civili kontext, med sammThe goal of this project is to design a product utilizing the MOLLE-system, a modular load-carrying system developed by the US army. The system is used to attach pouches to backpacks, vests and other gear. These pouches are mainly designed for military use, to hold gear such as magazines, grenades, etc. My goal is to use the system in a civilian context, with the same purpose as the US army’s, t
Locknekratern i Jämtland, centrala Sverige bildades för cirka 455 miljoner år sedan i ett grunt epicontinentalt hav när en meteorit med en diameter på 600 meter slog ner i den Baltiska skölden. Nedslaget skapade en 7.5 km bred inre krater i det proterozoiska kristallina urberget som överlagrades av skiffer och kalksten. Eftersom den ursprungliga morfologin hos nedslagskratrar snabbt eroderas på joThe Lockne impact structure in Jämtland, central Sweden, was formed approximately 455 Ma in a shallow epicontinental sea when a bolide 600 meters in diameter struck the Baltic Shield. This event excavated a 7.5 km wide inner crater in the target rocks at the site, comprised by Proterozoic crystalline basement overlain by shale and limestone. Since the original morphology of impact craters are rapi
This thesis explores the role of preferential trade agreements (PTAs) that include environmental provisions addressing non-tariff barriers and regulatory heterogeneity in shaping bilateral trade patterns in environmental goods. By combining trade data for 199 countries in 2002--2020 with an OECD classification of environmental goods and detailed data on PTA content, the empirical analysis estimate
This thesis explores Gen Z’s use of compact digital cameras in a hyper-digital age. While previous research on nostalgic consumption has largely focused on analogue technologies and material artefacts such as vinyl records and film photography, less attention has been given to retro digital devices that imitate analogue aesthetics while remaining fully digital. Using a qualitative approach, this
The rapid diffusion and application of generative artificial intelligence (AI) have intensified debate about the future of knowledge-intensive professional work. Strategy and management consulting provides a particularly revealing context, as its value proposition has historically rested on the integration, interpretation, and legitimisation of specialised knowledge. This thesis examines how gener
The exceptional breakdown field and ultra-wide bandgap of beta-gallium oxide (β-Ga2O3) position it as a promising material for next-generation high-power electronics. This thesis systematically investigates the growth behaviour, structural quality, and surface morphology of β-Ga2O3 thin films deposited via Pulsed Laser Deposition (PLD) on both c-plane sapphire (Al2O3) and MOCVD-grown GaN-on-sapphi
Wood is one of the oldest building materials used around the world. It began in more sparsely populated areas but was later established within city walls. This resulted in a factor that caused major urban fires throughout history, which sparked interest in using other building materials. However, in recent years, wood has become increasingly more attractive within the construction industry, pri
Modern Neural Processing Units (NPUs) must be evaluated long before silicon ex- ists, yet early tools force a difficult compromise: fast analytical performance models enable exploration, but may diverge from slower RTL simulation, which provides a more accurate timing reference. This thesis investigates whether that gap can be learned and corrected. Using early-available block-command descriptors,
Introduction: The transport sector remains a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions, driving demand for engine concepts that eliminate carbon and nitrogen-oxide output while reusing existing manufacturing infrastructure. Background: The Argon Power Cycle is an engine concept that replaces air with argon as a working fluid and uses hydrogen as fuel and oxygen as the oxidizer. By explo
Most secondary school curriculums in the world don’t include semiconductor physics. The fact that it is not included is considered a mistake by many physicists and engineers, considering it is a massive part of modern technology. Amongst these technologies are transistors, LED:s, screens and solar cells. This thesis attempts to use solar cells to give an example of how semiconductor physics can be
