Phosphorylation is one of the main post-translational modifications (PTMs) regulating protein function, where kinases reversibly add phosphate groups to specific amino acid residues (phosphosites). Kinase activity is altered in breast cancer (BC), resulting in loss of regulation of several cellular processes. Phosphoproteomics emerges as a powerful approach for profiling samples at phosphosite lev
This paper investigates whether political alignment between local mayors and departmental governors influences public investment decisions, specifically within the Colombian context. Using a regression discontinuity design based on close electoral outcomes, the study examines the allocation and efficiency of educational investments and related public expenditures across municipalities. Findings in
The aviation industry continues today to be one of the main sources of green house gas emission. In order to counteract this trend, certain solutions are being invested in with one of these being the use of electro-based sustainable aviation fuels. Its drop-in ability and potential for reduction in emissions present eSAF as one of the most attractive and viable alternatives to decarbonisation of t
This thesis explores a classically conformal extension of the Standard Model featuring a real scalar singlet field as a Dark Matter candidate. In this framework, electroweak symmetry breaking arises radiatively via the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism, foregoing explicit mass scales and preserving classical scale invariance at tree level. The singlet scalar, stabilized by an imposed Z2 symmetry, is inve
The phenomenon of cyclical female mentoring, defined as women’s engagement in same gender mentoring relationships both as a mentee and a mentor, has been underexplored in the mentoring literature. The purpose of this study is thus to understand how women experience cyclical female mentoring, with a specific focus on relational, gender-focused, and learning dimensions. To fulfil this purpose, the s
Abstract Title: The Sound of Silence: Conceptualizing Strategic CSR Silence as a Communication Practice Date of Seminar: 05-06-2025 Course: BUSN39 - Degree Project in Global Marketing - Master Level Authors: Bob Groeneveld and Vivian Reijntjes Supervisor: Jon Bertilsson Keywords: Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR); CSR Communication; Strategic Silence; Critical Theory; Discursive Closure;
This study aims to capture stakeholders’ perspectives on the placemaking process in shaping Singapore's Somerset Belt. Guided by three research questions, it examines: (1) how placemaking is perceived and experienced by stakeholders, (2) the challenges and learning reflections in the placemaking process, and (3) how stakeholders define creativity and how it applies in placemaking. Using purpos
In this thesis, the required shielding for biologically safe radiation levels during the operation of the shortHIBEAM beamline at the European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund, Sweden, is presented. The shortHIBEAM beamline is 25 meter long, including a 10- meter magnetically shielded section, a detector and an optional shutter system inside the bunker wall. The shortHIBEAM beamline model was desig
The increasing global demand for sustainable energy has sparked interest in combining renewable technologies to leverage their synergies. This thesis presents a pre-feasibility study of a combined offshore wind and wave energy farm located off the coast of Galicia, Spain. In collaboration with Wavepiston, a Danish developer of wave energy converters (WECs), the study evaluates the integration of t
As lithium-ion batteries become central to the European Union’s (EU) clean energy transition, particularly in electric vehicles and energy storage systems, concerns have grown regarding the sustainability of their full lifecycle. Recycling is increasingly recognized as a key strategy to mitigate environmental impacts, reduce reliance on primary raw materials, and support the EU’s circular economy
The study aims to focus on the employees' experiences as well as practices of the leaders' leadership styles in rapidly changing environments to contribute to a deeper understanding of leadership combinations. Although research has been conducted regarding different leadership approaches, there is limited research that explores the understanding of how entrepreneurial leaders combine and a
Amidst a surge in global demand for materials driving the green transition, this thesis investigates how policymakers can best ensure sound environmental performance in the Swedish mining industry following unexpected mine closures. Current Swedish financial assurance mechanisms, intended to operationalize the Polluter Pays Principle, are hampered by unclear criteria and a focus on individual site
This study investigates how natural weathering affects the fire performance of fire-retardant-impregnated timber façade. Results from a Cone Calorimeter testing showed significant differences in fire properties between different parts of the façade slats, with more weather-exposed surfaces exhibiting slower ignition but higher peak heat release rate per unit areas. Timber color was found to corre
In recent years, the European Union (EU) has increased its external engagement in originally internal policy areas. Despite its growing importance for European integration, there remains a lack of scholarly attention to this trend. Focusing on energy, the following research question is asked: How and why has the EU increased its external engagement in energy policy between 2009–2022? To answer thi
This thesis focuses on two primary parts: the design of a 10-bit medium high-speed, high-linearity current-steering digital-to-analog converter (DAC), and the implementation of a linear analog interpolation technique aimed at suppressing images at the DAC output. Design considerations for the current-steering DAC are discussed comprehensively, and the circuit is designed in 22nm Fully-Depleted Si
This thesis examines the social integration experiences of talent migrants in Shenzhen, China, within the framework of policy-driven institutional support. Distinct from traditional labor migrants, talent migrants are highly educated professionals who actively choose Shenzhen as their destination, benefiting from preferential measures such as streamlined household registration, subsidized housing,
