Självhandikappning är en försvarsstrategi som är relativt outforskad och sannolikt underminerar en persons möjlighet att lyckas. Den aktuella studien undersöker samband mellan självhandikappning och HEXACO-personlighetsdragen; Honesty-Humility, Emotionality, Xtraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, och Openness. Ett mål med studien var att belysa varför vissa personer är mer benägna än andraSelf-handicapping is a poorly understood defense strategy that plausibly undermines a person's chance of success. The present study examines relations between self-handicapping and the HEXACO-personality traits; namely, Honesty-Humility, Emotionality, Xtraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness. An aim is to shed new light on why some people are more prone to debilitating self-

Ovarian cancer is the most lethal gynecological malignancy, with treatment heavily relying on platinum-based chemotherapy. However, resistance frequently develops, posing a major clinical challenge that underscores the need for new approaches. In this study, we investigated the phosphoproteomic landscape underlying cisplatin resistance, which remains poorly understood. A parental CAOV3 ovarian can

Spatial omics for comprehensive investigation of the tumor immune microenvironment has the potential to guide treatment and decision-making in the immuno-oncology setting. However, their use in the clinical setting remains limited due to high costs, time consumption and complexity.

This thesis examines how brand positioning of beauty brands, differentiating between high-end and mass-market, influences the engagement rate of consumers on Instagram and TikTok, and explores the role of platform type and content likability in explaining this relationship. As social media continues to shape the way consumers interact with brands, engagement metrics have become key indicators of s

Ekonomiskt våld i nära relationer är ett allvarligt samhällsproblem som kan orsaka långvariga konsekvenser för den som utsätts. Trots att ekonomiskt våld allt oftare uppmärksammas som en form av våld i nära relationer är kunskapen inom området fortfarande begränsad. Kvinnor är särskilt utsatta för våld i nära relationer i stort, och ekonomiskt våld kan förstås som en form av våld som skapar ekonom

Braided rivers are among the most dynamic and ecologically valuable fluvial systems, yet their complexity makes remote sensing-based monitoring particularly challenging. The Tagliamento River in northeastern Italy faces potential future regulation through proposed flood-gate infrastructure near the Dignano Bridge, making the establishment of baseline conditions a priority. This study pursued two o

Lunds kommun har som mål att minska bilberoendet och att vara klimatneutrala år 2030. Med bakgrund i detta, samt en strävan att alla boende i kommunen ska ha tillgång till samma service, finns en önskan från Lunds kommun att undersöka alternativa lösningar till dagens insamling av sällanavfall. Sällanavfall definieras i denna studie som avfall från hushåll som uppkommer mer sällan och vanligtvis sLund municipality aims to decrease the dependency of cars and to be climate neutral by 2030. With this in mind, together with an aspiration that all citizens in the municipality should have access to the same service, Lund municipality wishes to explore alternative solutions to the collection of “seldom waste” that exists today. Seldom waste is in this report defined as waste from households that

This study investigates continuance intention to use Duolingo from a post-adoption perspective, drawing primarily on the Expectation-Confirmation Model (Bhattacherjee, 2001). In gamified mobile language learning, value is not achieved through initial adoption alone, but through repeated use that supports meaningful learning progress. Therefore, this study examines why active users intend to contin

Recommender agents providing personalised recommendations for customers on online webstores or video streaming platforms have gained a lot of attention recently with the advancement of Artificial Intelligence improving their accuracy and efficiency. However, due to the black box nature of machine learning, sometimes it is difficult for consumers to understand why a certain set of items are recomme

This thesis develops a locally deployed LLM-assisted system for automating CFD simulations from natural-language physical modelling tasks, including OpenFOAM case setup generation, solver execution, error diagnosis, and iterative correction. Unlike many recent LLM-driven CFD agents that mainly rely on frontier cloud models, this work investigates whether open-weight local LLMs with stronger data p

This thesis explores how consumers interpret and emotionally respond to AI-driven changes in the communication of iconic brands. As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly integrated into marketing and brand communication, it raises questions about how such changes affect consumers’ perceptions of authenticity, trust, and emotional connection. Through a qualitative study, the research examine

Stora delar av det svenska bostadsbeståndet kännetecknas av nyttomaximering och konformitet. Examensarbetet undersöker några av Sveriges mest unika bostadshus, nämligen vattentorn som ombildats till bostäder. Författaren intresserades av ämnet på grund av ett uppmärksammat bostadsvattentornsprojekt i sin hemstad och kopplar fenomenet till två vanligen förekommande begrepp i civilingenjörsutbildninWith time buildings are prone to lose their purpose. Meanwhile cities face demand for urban densification. This paper focuses on obsolete water towers repurposed to unique housing in Sweden. In Sweden 15 water towers have been turned into multy-family dwellings. This has resulted in 266 flats of which 156 are reserved for students. The total floor area of these are 12 761 square meters.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and fatal interstitial lung disease driven by persistent fibroblast activation, abnormal epithelial to mesenchymal signaling and excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. Better pre-clinical models are needed to reproduce these processes and to support antifibrotic drug development. This thesis tested whether an in vitro co-culture model

Examensarbetet undersöker hur järnvägen idag dräneras och hur klimatförändringar påverkan järnvägen och dess dräneringssystem. Resultaten visar att vatten har en stor påverkan på järnvägens hållfasthet och hur viktiga trummor är för att hantera vattenflöden. I och med klimatets förändringar som orsakar större nederbördsmängder och vattenflöden i norra Sverige och torka i södra kommer framtidens prThe thesis evaluates how the railway is drained today and how climate change will affect the railway and its drainage capability. The results show that water has a big impact of the railways structural integrity and how important drums are to handle waterflow. The climate change causes greater precipitation amounts and waterflows in northerns Sweden and droughts in the south. The project planning

Brookfield viscometers are widely used in industrial quality control because they are simple and practical, but the viscosity values obtained are relative to the instrument, spindle, container geometry, and measurement procedure. In contrast, rotational rheometers such as the Anton Paar RheolabQC provide more defined rheological data under controlled shear conditions. This thesis developed and eva

Modern integrated circuits contain extensive on-chip instrumentation—Ring Oscillators (ROs), temperature sensors, voltage monitors, and delay-measurement circuits—originally intended for reliability monitoring and process calibration. The same physical sensitivity that makes these instruments effective sensors also makes them potential side-channel receivers. An adversary who can place or exploit

The loss of regulatory control over radioactive material and sources poses great risks to public safety. Such a situation necessitates the development of protocols and methods for effective and accurate localisation, characterisation and securement of the materials. Mobile gamma spectrometry, particularly using vehicle-borne detectors, has emerged as a viable method for in-situ characterisation of

Förarapplikationer används i allt större utsträckning hos yrkesförare för att stödja företags ruttplanering, orderhantering, dokumentation och intern/extern kommunikation. När förare behöver läsa, tolka och/eller interagera med information i situationer kopplade till körning kan dessa system även skapa visuell, manuell och kognitiv distraktion, vilket ökar risken för trafikrelaterade skador. DettaDriver applications are increasingly used in professional driving to support route planning, order management, documentation, and communication. When drivers need to read, interpret, or interact with information in close proximity to driving, these systems can also create visual, manual, and cognitive distractions, increasing traffic safety risk.
