Urban sustainability depends on both green infrastructure and safe, accessible cycling networks, yet these systems often come into conflict. Tree roots can disrupt paved cycle paths, causing surface deformation that compromises user comfort and safety while increasing maintenance demands. This thesis examines the drivers of root-related damage in cycle infrastructure, focusing on interactions betw
This thesis examines contemporary Danish public discourse on fertility and demography, where anxiety over declining fertility among women of Danish origin coexists with anxiety over immigrants and their descendants becoming a future demographic majority. The empirical material consists of documents from and adjacent to Danmarks Statistik (2019–2025) and news coverage from Politiken and Danmarks Ra
This study examines Turkish foreign policy toward Syria through the lens of historical materialism. Departing from mainstream analyses that treat economy and politics as separate spheres, it situates class dynamics at the core of foreign policy formation, arguing that Ankara's engagement is systematically driven by the imperative to convert conflict into economic opportunity for Turkish capita
This thesis examines the relationship between Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance and firm-level risk among publicly listed companies in the Nordic countries. While prior research suggests that ESG may reduce firm risk, evidence for the Nordic region remains limited despite its high sustainability standards. Using panel data on 380 firms from Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finlan
Extending the lifetime of products enables material resource savings and provides an effective resource efficiency strategy within a circular economy paradigm. Although consumer demand for longer lasting products that can be easily repaired has been on the rise, it is not certain that consumers are fully able to identify such products and willing to pay a premium for them. France introduced a mand
The TESS mission searches for transiting exoplanets by monitoring the brightness of hundreds of thousands of stars across the entire sky. M-type planet hosts are ideal targets for this mission due to their smaller size and cooler temperatures, which makes it easier to detect smaller planets near or within their habitable zones. Additionally, M dwarfs have a smaller contrast ratio between the plane
From 2015 onwards almost every EU migration policy document has the professed objective of shaping a ‘fair, efficient, and sustainable’ migration. But what would a sustainable migration look like in terms of legal design? By focusing on the EU legal order, the article provides an answer to this question. Specifically, the article presents the findings of a critical historical study of different ar
Gout is a chronic disease that is caused by an innate immune response to deposited monosodium urate crystals in the setting of hyperuricemia. Here, we provide insights into the molecular mechanism of the poorly understood inflammatory component of gout from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 2.6 million people, including 120,295 people with prevalent gout. We detected 377 loci and 410 genet

A summary of the constraints from searches performed by the ATLAS collaboration for the electroweak production of charginos and neutralinos is presented. Results from eight separate ATLAS searches are considered, each using 140 fb−1 of proton-proton data at a centre-of-mass energy of s = 13 TeV collected at the Large Hadron Collider during its second data-taking run. The results are interpreted in
Pangenomes are collections of annotated genome sequences of multiple individuals of a species1. The structural variants uncovered by these datasets are a major asset to genetic analysis in crop plants2. Here we report a pangenome of barley comprising long-read sequence assemblies of 76 wild and domesticated genomes and short-read sequence data of 1,315 genotypes. An expanded catalogue of sequence
The angular correlations between charged Ξ baryons and associated identified hadrons (pions, kaons, protons, Λ baryons, and Ξ baryons) are measured in pp collisions at s = 13 TeV with the ALICE detector to give insight into the particle production mechanisms and balancing of quantum numbers on the microscopic level. In particular, the distribution of strangeness is investigated in the correlations
A combination of searches for new heavy spin-1 resonances decaying into different pairings of W, Z, or Higgs bosons, as well as directly into leptons or quarks, is presented. The data sample used corresponds to 139 fb−1 of proton-proton collisions at s = 13 TeV collected during 2015–2018 with the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Analyses selecting quark pairs (qq, bb, tt¯, and tb)
This paper presents the measurement of fiducial and differential cross sections for both the inclusive and electroweak production of a same-sign W-boson pair in association with two jets (W±W±jj) using 139 fb−1 of proton-proton collision data recorded at a centre-of-mass energy of s = 13 TeV by the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The analysis is performed by selecting two same-charge
