Introduction: Reversed phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) is a central analytical technique in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical science, where it is essential to reliably detect, separate, quantify, and purify drugs, of which a majority contain basic groups. Background: Basic analytes often exhibit poor peak shape, for example tailing, due to mixed-mode interactions with the stationary phase.
Collaborative robots, or cobots, are increasingly used in industrial automation, where they work in flexible, semi-modular configurations while still being expected to meet demanding positioning accuracy requirements. After a joint is replaced on such a robot, the resulting joint zero offset typically forces a full kinematic recalibration before the robot can return to service, causing downtime an
This thesis estimates the dynamic macroeconomic effects of climatic disasters on GDP per capita and human capital, using local projections on a panel of 173 countries from 1970 to 2022. The analysis focuses on droughts, floods, and storms, three unambiguously climate-driven disaster types. The main finding is a divergence between output and human capital responses. GDP per capita rises cumulativel
Cancer immunotherapy targeting the CD40 receptor on antigen presenting cells (APCs) is a promising treatment strategy that promotes priming of tumor-specific T cells and can revert a suppressive tumor microenvironment. CD40 signaling in dendritic cells (DCs) has been shown to promote maturation, enhance expression of MHC, costimulatory molecules and chemokine receptors, and induce IL-12 secretion,
Visual Autoregressive models (VARs) are a recent class of text-to-image generation models that have achieved state-of-the-art image-generation quality. Compared with diffusion-based models, VARs can generate images much faster, in some settings producing an image in under a second. This speed relies heavily on KV-caching, which introduces a considerable memory overhead, up to 10 GB to generate one
Nurses are in need of effective sterile packaging for transporting, storing, handling, preparing and disposing of single use medical devices. At the same time, requirements surrounding sustainability are mounting both from a regulatory and user perspective. Producers need to develop more sustainable options for hospitals with a great variation in waste management practices while not impeding on th
This thesis examines how private equity ownership shapes consumer brand equity during the holding period, drawing on fourteen semi-structured interviews with investment professionals across five Nordic PE firms and four consumer brand professionals. The central finding is that PE ownership neither preserves nor destroys brand equity, it instead reconstitutes it. Short-term performance metrics cro
Urea formaldehyde foam (UFF) is an amino-based thermoset plastic that is widely used for dry flower arrangement and decoration. Much research has been conducted to minimize the risks associated with formaldehyde emissions and recycling practices to properly dispose or re-utilize the cured UFF; however, limited research has been conducted to enhance the biodegradability of the resin. This study aim
Ätstört beteende (DE) och icke-suicidalt självskadebeteende (NSSI) förekommer ofta samtidigt under ungdomsåren och delar flera riskfaktorer, men deras longitudinella utveckling är fortfarande bristfälligt kartlagd. Denna studie undersöker prevalens, stabilitet och psykologiska prediktorer för upprepat NSSI och risk för DE från ungdomsåren till ung vuxenålder. Ett urval (N = 471) besvarade självskaDisordered eating (DE) and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) frequently co-occur during adolescence and share multiple risk factors, yet their longitudinal development remains poorly understood. This study examined the prevalence, stability, and psychological predictors of repetitive NSSI and risk of DE from adolescence to young adulthood. A community sample (N = 471) completed self-report asse
This thesis explores how an artist brand may move from commercial visibility toward cultural relevance and potential cultural iconicity within the contemporary music industry. While traditional brand management often focuses on market share, it often fails to explain how modern artists capture culture share. To address this gap, this study investigates how identity myths are utilized to address so
The bone–cartilage interface, or calcified cartilage, is a thin but critical transition zone that helps distribute mechanical loads across the synovial joint. However, this interface remains difficult to visualize and segment using conventional techniques due to its structural and textural similarity to the adjacent subchondral bone. Accurate segmentation would enable quantitative analysis of the
Ovarian cancer (OC) represents one of the most prevalent and lethal malignancies in women, with a need for novel treatments. A large obstacle in the development of OC therapies is the poor translation between preclinical and clinical results, partially attributable to the use of unsuitable models for drug screening. Common models such as cell lines, organoids, spheroids, tumor-on-a-chip, and anima
This study examines the experience of being a reconnecting sami, what that journey can look like and how it can be understood through a indigenous feminist, intersectional and decolonial framework. The purpose of the study is to interview people who can relate to this identification and ask them to tell their journey. Material was collected from four kind participants, from different backgrounds a
This study examines how population ageing influences tax revenues in OECD countries from 1965 to 2024. Tax revenues are expressed as a percentage of GDP to assess whether economic growth alone could ensure fiscal sustainability under population ageing. A two‑way fixed‑effects (TWFE) model is employed to control for unobserved heterogeneity across countries and years. On average across OECD countri
When nationwide protests erupted across Indonesia in August–September 2025 triggered by parliamentary pay rises and the death of a civilian under a police vehicle, the Indonesian government faced one of the most visible legitimacy challenges of the post-Reformasi era. Drawing on Suchman's (1995) typology of pragmatic, moral, and cognitive legitimacy and Weber's account of legitimacy as the
Keywords: news media houses, journalist professionals, sensemaking, corporate branding, tensions, digitalisation Overall aim & Purpose: The thesis aims to uncover the tensions that exist between enduring corporate brand values and the evolving demands of the digital media environment. The purpose is to understand how Swedish news media houses, as corporate brands, renegotiate and operationali
This thesis examined the concept of self-preferencing in digital platform markets and its treatment under Article 102 TFEU within the framework of EU competition law. The research focused on the extent to which existing competition law principles are capable of addressing preferential conduct by dominant digital platforms that simultaneously operate as intermediaries and competitors within the sam
This thesis examines the relationship between protection awareness exposure and reported gender-based violence (GBV) in Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh between 2023 and 2025. Using a balanced camp-level panel dataset covering 10 camps over 36 months, the study applies fixed-effects regression models to estimate within-camp associations. The results show a consistent and statistically signific
Northeast of the Swedish town of Lund lies Flyinge which today offers various equestrian educational programs. During the Middle Ages the Danish archdiocese, located in Lund, owned a manor with stables at this location. Besides Flyinge the archdiocese owned several other properties throughout Medieval Denmark such as the main residence of Lundagård, Hammershus on Bornholm and Åhus Castle. While c
To tackle the social inequalities in how disasters unfold, organisations working in Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) have increasingly adopted socially inclusive approaches. With a similar aim of reducing disaster impacts, Anticipatory Action (AA) has emerged as a practical method to prevent losses and damage through forecasts, pre-agreed funding, and early action. However, a gap rema
