“Why are we not just all this positive about queer people?”: An exploratory Study of Filter Bubbles & Echo Chambers on Queer TikTok
(2025)In recent years, the in popularity rising video-sharing app TikTok has gained negative media attention because their algorithm actively contributes to the suppression of queer content and the platform is also known to aid ... -
Unhealthy Comparisons to Promote Healthy Behavior? Exploring the Impact of Social Comparison Strategies on Well-Being within Health &Wellness Applications.
(2025)Social comparison methods are frequently used in health & wellness applications despite concerns about their impact on users' well-being. These comparisons can lead to unfavorable self-perceptions and expectations, resulting ... -
Rheology of polymineralic Pyrenean shear zones: the importance of feldspar and orthopyroxene in controlling mid-crustal and upper mantle ductile shear zones
(2025)The rheology of the middle crust and the upper mantle dictates the rates at which geological processes occur. In these regimes, deformation predominantly occurs by ductile flow, meaning either dislocation creep or grain ... -
Tuning the Size of Colloidal Ni Nanoparticles for CO2 Hydrogenation Catalysis
(2025)Increasing demand for environmentally friendly produced fuels caused the interest in converting CO2 to useful products such as methane over Ni-based catalysts. Because the CO2 conversion (hydrogenation) over Ni catalysts ... -
Beyond Victims and Victimizers: Local Peace-Building Agency in Yugoslav Conflicts and its Visibility in Influential US and UK Media 1991-1995
(Utrecht University, 2014)Although Yugoslav wars have become an almost obligatory reference in policy literature, the representations of this conflict frequently reduce the role of local population to that of victims and victimizers, with little ... -
Leadership in Human-Robot Teams: Analyzing the Impact of Leadership Styles on Team Dynamics and Perceptions
(2025)Social robots are increasingly capable of taking on complex roles and it is anticipated that they may serve as leaders in human-robot teams. While research in human-robot interaction (HRI) has demonstrated that robots can ... -
Spectral sequences obtained from towers in the infinity category of spectra: décalage, exact couples and Massey products
(2025)There are various ways of constructing spectral sequences from the infinity category of towers of spectra. Classically there is the approach via exact couples; we will also discuss the décalage functor as constructed by ... -
Applying Field Theories: From Polarised Parton Distribution Functions to Neural Networks
(2025)This thesis explores two areas of theoretical physics: contributing to the refinement of polarised Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) and Fragmentation Functions (FFs), and applying an Effective Field Theory (EFT) to ... -
Categorical Quantum Mechanics - constructing the category of homogenous cones
(2025)Category theory provides a unifying language to reason about diverse structures in mathematics and physics. Its foundational perspective proves especially potent for describing and generalizing frameworks in physical ... -
An algebra structure on the homology of free loop spaces
(2025)String topology studies the spaces of paths and loops in a manifold. An interesting topic in this theory is the existence of an algebra structure on the homology of free loop spaces. This algebra structure comes from the ... -
Methylated genes as biomarkers for melanoma prognosis
(2025)Melanoma is a rare but deadly form of skin cancer. Currently, patients undergo excision surgery, followed by adjuvant treatment if the cancer has metastasized. To estimate the prognosis of the disease, pathological examination ... -
Assessing the importance of arm Weakness as a symptom for urgency allocation and diagnosing TIA/Stroke in Out-of-Hours GP Services
(2025)Background: Arm weakness is a common TIA/stroke symptom in the FAST mnemonic but can be difficult to recognise by patients. Rapid identification is crucial, as delayed treatment increases the risk of permanent brain damage. ... -
Analyzing the Potential of MCFC-based CO2 Capture and Storage Onboard Seagoing Vessels: A Techno-Economic Assessment
(2025)Reducing carbon emissions from the naval shipping sector is crucial for lowering global CO2 levels. For complete decarbonization, transitioning to sustainable, non-carbon-based fuels is necessary. However, carbon capture ... -
Dependency on CEP192 and AKAP9 for the organization of the microtubule network
(2025)The microtubule network is organized by microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs). These organize the network by nucleating new microtubules and binding their minus ends. In many types of animal cells, the centrosome functions ... -
