Existing studies on China’s COVID-19 response have gravitated to a macro-level, formal institutional analysis, focusing either on the effectiveness of the policy in early-stage virus containment or on the growing negative impacts of COVID policy practices on China’s socio-political landscape at the late stage. Using serial interviews accompanied by online observations and documents, this thesis re
Amid rising worry around human and AI alignment and citing concerns for data privacy and content inappropriate for children and the “emotionally vulnerable”, the Italian government recently imposed a complete ban against the Replika chatbot within Italy. Following the issuance of the ban and citing similar concerns over safety, the designer/owner of the technology, Luka, Inc. (Luka), implemented c
In this thesis, we investigate the effect of online search activity approximated by Google searches on the volatility of the largest, most actively traded stocks listed on the Danish stock exchange. The interest in this relationship stems from an increasing number of retail investors entering the market in recent years. Driven by low-to-negative deposit rates, easily accessible online trading plat
Pathogenic bacteria such as Streptococcus pyogenes have evolved different mechanisms to evade host immune defenses, primarily through the expression of virulence factors. Among these, the Streptococcal nuclease A (SpnA), a cell wall-associated protein, is important in bacterial pathogenesis. SpnA hydrolyzes host DNA present within neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs), therefore helping bacteria t
Historic events in motions for resolutions tabled by the parliament’s party groups between 1995-2025. While recent research trends within memory studies - under the influence of sociology - have tended to focus on agency, this thesis targets the content of memory politics by using historical research to confront political memories with their historical contexts. The thesis targets motions for reso
This thesis investigates the causal relationships among alarms at the European Spallation Source (ESS), focusing on enhancing alarm management through advanced data analytics. The study explores these relationships using Dynamic Bayesian Networks (DBNs) complemented with well-defined Conditional Probability Distributions (CPTs). This approach models the cascading interactions of alarms based on th
This thesis investigates the practices and mobilities of the Danish OpenStreetMap community in order to understand how open-source mapping affects the problem-solving capacity. In more detail, my research challenges the perception of maps as ideal representations of the environment. Instead, it stresses the importance of mapping and the role of the mapper, who moves in a hybrid space, encountering
The Israel-Palestine conflict reached a critical juncture with the horrible attack by Hamas on Israel on October 7, 2023, triggering a devastating invasion by Israel into the Gaza Strip. This escalation catapulted the conflict into a global focus, intensifying calls for a ceasefire amidst mounting Israeli violence. Against this backdrop, this paper aims to analyze media framing of violence in conf
This thesis combines labour regime analysis with Marx’s distinctive class of modern landed property in a case-study situated at the small-scale gold mine La Mina Vincente. It examines how the Colombian state's efforts to formalize artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) intersect with the presence of illegal armed groups, shaping the labour regime of La Mina Vincente. The study makes use of qua
The aesthetic and literary genre of dark academia has become popular due to its romanticisation of immersive academic learning and lifestyles. It has however been criticised for its frequent glorification of and focus on Eurocentric educational institutions which celebrate Western patriarchal exclusivity. This thesis examines in how far this is true of the genre’s prominent novels Donna Tartt’s Th
The following thesis is an attempt to analyse the concept of narrative in and around retellings of the events surrounding Czechoslovakia during the First World War and how they are subsequently depicted. This is done by primarily looking at three primary source materials: in English Czech historiography from the past 20 years, an autobiography from WWI and a modern video game on the same subject.
This thesis investigates Nestlé’s impunity for aiding and abetting forms of child labour in Côte d’Ivoire through analysing the landmark case Doe v. Nestlé. By employing a qualitative content analysis, this study disseminates the nearly two-decade court battle of oral arguments before the Supreme Court, amicus briefs from interested third parties, court rulings, as well as an interview with the le
The complement system is an ancient component of the immune system, comprising three pathways: classical, lectin and alternative pathways. Central to these pathways is complement component C3, which converges the three pathways. C3 can be enzymatically cleaved into C3a which functions as an anaphylatoxin, and C3b, which functions as an opsonin. Previously, C3 was understood as a serum protein, how
This is a thesis about the Finnish populistic party Perussuomalaiset, in English the Finns Party. The party has become a force to be reckoned within the Finnish politics, therefore, knowing more about the Finns Party members is a must. The aim of the thesis is to map the identities of the Finns Party members and to find out why they chose this particular party. This is interesting because populism
This meta-analysis synthesized 60 effect sizes from 41 papers (overall N = 17.226), about the relation between self-efficacy beliefs and creativity. Taken as a whole, the relation between those two constructs, assuming a random-effects model, is with r = .39 of medium size, as was proposed. Further subgroup analyses revealed a pattern of self-rated creativity measures (r = .53) those which use ite
Under sitt korta Sverigebesök i maj 2019 kreerades den uppmärksammade amerikanska domaren Ruth Bader Ginsburg till jubelhedersdoktor.
