This thesis discusses an extension of the classical maximum modulus principle to unbounded domains, called the Phragmén-Lindelöf principle. The principle is illustrated in strips, half planes and sectors, as well as through the related Hadamard theorems. The thesis is concluded by proving applications of the Phragmén-Lindelöf principle within Fourier analysis and operator theory. The applications
This thesis research how the EU’s shift from traditional development aid to investment-based development cooperation affects the understanding and practice of ownership within Global Gateway. Through a case study of the Lobito Corridor, with a special focus on Zambia, it analyses how local development priorities are translated, reshaped and limited within the EU’s institutional and financial struc
With the emergence of the digital surveillance society, and especially since the turn of the 21st century, artistic explorations of key questions of visibility, observation, and surveillance have multiplied into what can be identified as a genre of its own, “surveillance art.” As surveillance has become increasingly central to societal developments and crept into everyday life, it has been the sub
In the 19th century, gold diggers emigrated from Europe to North America with the hopes of a brighter future. Gold diggers today might look to the stock market with hopes of finding the key to incredible wealth. The introduction of neural networks has revolutionized data analysis and the possibility of using them to do significantly better than chance on the stock market is investigated in this re
This paper investigates the UK REIT sector in response to the Brexit vote and compares it to the REIT sector of other central European countries. The underlying consideration for the research question is related to the vote’s economical impact on the direct real estate market. The aim of the study is not only to detect whether the stock market reflects the information about a future demand shift i
In business discourse, the leader is often portrayed as the one who changes the current order. Leaders stand above the organization, and from that elevated position they can bring about the necessary change that offers a way out of whatever crisis afflicts the business. In this paper, I consider the paradoxical fact that leaders, in our popular understanding at least, do not use orders when creati
Public intellectuals were once honest and knowledgeable academics who engaged in critical debate and spoke truth to power, but seem today rather to be celebrities who make vast amounts of money from selling an oversimplified message to policymakers and the public. This chapter discusses the role of the new public intellectuals for the rise of oversimplified and misguided innovation policy, both in
Did the political COVID-19 pandemic impact levels of populism? And did a potential effect travel across different national pandemic strategies? Populism is characterized by a growing antagonistic elite-population gap, which might be further triggered by top-down pandemic legislation. Using large-n panel survey data from Denmark and Sweden, being two similar Scandinavian universal welfare states th

Background: Increasing carbon stock in standing forests is one of the proposed ways to mitigate climate change. However, in production forests, this typically would lead to reduced harvesting possibilities and thus reduced financial gain for the forest owners. The size of this reduction should depend on the chosen target level of the carbon stock as well as the required speed of accumulation. Furt
“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities” is a famous aphorism commonly attributed to Voltaire. The choice to publish under an alias for François-Marie Arouet, reveals that there was some sort of awareness of the relationship between power, knowledge, truth and people’s tyrannical tendencies on his part. What our dear enlightened friend could most likely not fores
Background: The software engineering community has expressed growing concern regarding the need for more connections between research and practice. Despite the large amount of knowledge researchers generate, its impact on real-world practice is uncertain. Meanwhile, practitioners in industry often struggle to access and utilize relevant research outcomes that could inform and enhance their work.
Two discourses have more than others dominated foreign apprehension of Sweden in the post-war period: the development of the Swedish model welfare state and the films of Ingmar Bergman. This research project is aimed at studying how these two discourses relate to each other, as expressed by the films of Bergman themselves, the huge corpus of scholarship surrounding them, and the reception, domesti
