Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) enables causal investigation of brain-behavior relationships but exhibits substantial interindividual variability. White matter pathways, which propagate stimulation-induced signals, may contribute to this variability, yet their role remains unclear. Moreover, prior work has not accounted for individual hemispheric dominance, which may further compound this
Art and engagement with art have been active and important phenomena of humanity for millennia, and the benefits of engagement with art are persistently being uncovered across interdisciplinary fields of research including the field of social science. From a service perspective this thesis explores the art museum as a service which has the capacity and aim to engage the public with art. In order f
The growth of omnichannel retail has made product returns more convenient for customers, but it has also created new challenges for verifying whether a return is legitimate. In fashion retail, traditional Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) systems can confirm product-category information but cannot establish whether the item being returned is the exact item connected to the original transaction. This create
Visual features are encoded by the population activity of neurons across the human visual hierarchy, from primary visual features in early areas to semantic visual features in the higher visual cortex. Sparse dictionary learning and sparse autoencoders have recently emerged as powerful automated and unsupervised methods for discovering monosemantic representations of features in the massive data o
The establishment of the sugar factory in 1869 played a decisive role in the development of Arlöv and is therefore of great importance to the small town. With the production relocated, the thesis explores how the sugar factory area may continue to contribute to Arlöv’s development under new conditions. This thesis investigates the transformation of a disused industrial site with cultural and hist
Two eye-tracking experiments examined whether a spatial direction generated internally from a nonspatial cue was systematically associated with oculomotor behaviour during the imagery period and subsequent target-directed orienting. In Experiment 1, participants generated the leftward or rightward gaze of a learned human face. Gaze position was systematically displaced towards the imagined directi
Rapid growth in utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) deployment increases the demand for spatial decision-support methods that are both computationally scalable and grounded in real-world development practice. This thesis develops and evaluates a high-resolution, raster-based GIS screening framework for early-stage solar PV site identification in Sweden, with a particular focus on efficient raste
This study aimed to examine how the child is represented, framed, and positioned in text-based news articles about compulsory care under the Swedish Care of Young Persons Act, and how the child's perspective is made accessible through different forms of voice. The study was based on a qualitative content analysis of 40 local and regional news articles published in 2025. The material was collec
Physical modelling synthesis techniques are a well established approach for performing simulations of acoustic systems — such as vibrating strings, plates, or resonators — typically by solving the set of ordinary or partial differential equations that describe their behaviour. Existing implementations largely utilize numerical approaches to solve such systems, but calculating nonlinear terms which
The present comparative cognition study investigated decision making under uncertainty by examining dogs’ choice behaviour in response to different types of information. Specifically, the study examined how incoming informational cues that either confirmed or conflicted with the initial cue influenced subsequent choice behaviour. The final sample consisted of 50 dogs (28 females, 22 males) between
Online fashion retail provides consumers with greater convenience and access to clothing, but the absence of physical try-on can make clothing-size decisions difficult. Digital measurement tools have been developed to provide consumers with body measurement information and support these decisions. However, receiving measurement-based information does not necessarily mean that users can easily inte
Studien är en kvalitativ undersökning om hur bilkörning i en svensk storstad definieras som ett socialt problem. Syftet är att skildra aktörsgrupperna vilka varit del i konstruktionen. Det empiriska materialet bestod utav allmänna handlingar, nyhetsartiklar och radioinslag från 2023–2026, samt fyra semi-strukturerade intervjuer efter ett ändamålsenligt urval. Materialet analyserades med utgångspun
Clinical protein profiles are an important diagnostic tool used to find so-called M-components, a key indicator in the diagnosis of multiple myeloma. In this thesis, di!erent methods to automatically detect M-components and provide a qualitative interpretation of the protein profile are explored. The dataset used to train and test models consists of approximately 172,500 samples from 77,772 patien
Performance control in servers is important for maintaining responsiveness and efficient resource usage, particularly in smaller computing environments where resource bottlenecks are more noticeable. This creates a need for mechanisms to measure and control the performance of common bottlenecks such as disk I/O and networking. This thesis investigated and compared two different methods for control
Continuous advancement in Quantum Computing research has exposed vulnera- bilities within the security architecture of critical systems on which the day-to-day operations rely. This has set a challenge for the security community to design and implement alternatives that mitigate the risks associated with the eventual development of cryptographically significant quantum computers. Hence, NIST i
This thesis presents the development and evaluation of an embedded hardware and software platform for future Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) based motor testing at ASSA ABLOY Entrance Systems. The motivation for the work is to reduce the number of physical door setups required for motor testing by complementing them with a configurable HIL rig capable of simulating different door types and configuratio
Since the establishment of the Social Democratic Welfare State, Sweden has historically been a country known for its generous immigration policies, positive view of labor migration, and high quality of life due to its robust welfare system (Ericson, 2018). With the steady rise of right-wing populism and shift toward more neoliberal welfare policies, the notion of the so-called Progressive Dilemma
