Dishonesty and distrust are serious social and economic challenges facing societies
with billions of US dollars lost each year due to income-tax evasion, insurance
fraud, and substantial monitoring costs. The overarching aim of this thesis was ...

For their sensitivity to environmental variables, their impact on early developmental
processes and their importance to the establishment of multiple phenotypes, epigenetic
mechanisms have been increasingly studied during the last decades. Like ...

This thesis explores two topics in three-dimensional gravity, the $\ttb$ deformation and zeta functions of three-dimensional quotient manifolds.
The $\ttb$ deformation is an irrelevant deformation of a two-dimensional translationally invariant ...

The ΛCDM model is the most widely accepted model of cosmological structure formation
and evolution. It includes a form of Cold Dark Matter (CDM), which is non-quantum, nonrelativistic and collisionless. It settles into extended and dense self-gravitating ...
The size of deep-seated magma chambers is an important parameter for understanding pre-eruptive signals such as surface deformation. The constantly inflating Hekla volcano in Iceland has had relatively simple eruptive behaviour during the historical ...
We would like to thank Geist et al. (2023) for the opportunity to further discuss the arguments presented in our paper “Long or short silicic magma residence time beneath Hekla volcano, Iceland?” (Sigmarsson et al. 2022). The disagreement centres around ...

The colonisation of a forest-forming tree species into an early successional environment, following long-distance dispersal, presents a unique opportunity to study the dynamics of a founder population in a setting that differs from its origin. This ...
This article provides a study of ecofeminist features in the fiction of Tove Jansson in the 1970s and Oddný Eir Ævarsdóttir in the 2010s, with the intention of showing how an ecofeminist perspec tive which gained ground half a century ago can still be ...

This dissertation contributes to discussion about inclusive education and
social justice. Inclusive education is the official school policy in Iceland
which was legislated in 2008. Regardless of that, students with intellectual
disabilities are not ...

Exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), including abuse, neglect and
growing up in dysfunctional home environments, has consistently been associated with
an elevated risk of multiple negative mental health outcomes extending into adulthood.
Yet, ...
E-infrastructures deliver basic supercomputing and storage capabilities but can benefit from innovative higher-level services that enable use-cases in critical domains, such as environmental and agricultural science.
This work describes methods to ...

In recent years seaweed has gained popularity as a health food due to its high content of
minerals and vitamins. However, seaweeds may also accumulate high levels of potentially
toxic elements – in particular arsenic, which may become incorporated ...
