Abstract During everyday life, the brain continually attempts to estimate the pose of the body, the positions of the limbs, and how they are moving. This process is termed state estimation and is essential for the skilled motor control we are capable of. Central to this process is the sense of proprioception, which comprises feedback from sensors situated in our skin, joints and muscles. In this thesis, I have investigated a particular feature of this process: namely, the extent to which velocity-based proprioceptive feedback contributes directly to the estimation of positional parameters, e.g., the extent to which your perception of hand position depends on sensory signals that indicate the speed at which it is moving. Such a function is well-supported in predictive frameworks of sensorimotor control, but has, so far, been minimally investigated.

Exploiting a Danish tax policy that allows parents to sell housing to their children below market value, I show that early access to wealth gives recipients a financial flying start: beyond mechanically raising housing wealth, transfers increase entrepreneurship and consumption. The effects are strongest among individuals with limited liquid resources and when parents have prior entrepreneurial experience, indicating that the timing of wealth transfers matters at critical stages of the life cycle.In the second chapter, written together with Daphné Skandalis, we study exposure to violence at work and show that it leads to substantial and persistent earnings losses and higher job separation — effects markedly larger than those following comparably severe non-violent injuries. Affected workers move to safer firms, consistent with lower violence risk, consistent with deliberate risk avoidance. Because violent incidents are concentrated in jobs with high labor market tightness, they aggravate existing labor shortages.In the third chapter, written together with Steffen Andersen, Kim Peijnenburg, and Gianpaolo Parise, we use the timing of cancer diagnoses to show that severe health shocks lead to a persistent increase in both first-time offenses and re-offending, driven by financial strain, shorter survival horizons, and psychological distress. Welfare policies that mitigate the economic consequences of health shocks substantially reduce these spillovers, showing that health shocks generate broader social externalities and are not purely private events.

This is a phenomenon in models of quantum matter at very low temperatures with extraordinary properties. Theoretically, we aim to establish topological order as a well-defined feature of phases of matter, and to classify phases according to different kinds of topological order. Central mathematical challenges towards this aim are to give a definition of phases, to define topological order as an invariant of a phase, and to compute the invariant. Recent years have seen much progress on the former two challenges. In particular, superselection sector theory adapted to spin systems in the thermodynamic limit has been shown to define an invariant of topologically ordered phases with respect to quasi-local automorphism, corresponding to local perturbations of the dynamics. In this thesis, we compute this invariant for the class of Levin-Wen models which is widely regarded to be an exhaustive set of models of gapped phases admitting a gapped boundary. The invariant is a unitary modular tensor category, also known as a theory of anyons. As a first case, we study the double semion state, the first example of a group-based quantum double model with a cohomological twist studied using superselection sector theory. This theory is shown to yield the representation category of the twisted Drinfeld double algebra $D^\phi(\mathbb Z_2)$. The string operators of this model can be defined by elementary constructions on the lattice and give a representation of the anyon theory on the observable algebra. This is no longer the case, when we proceed to study the Levin-Wen model based on arbitrary unitary fusion categories $\mathcal C$, with obstruction coming from K-theory. Here, the analysis of the ground state and its excitation as well as the construction of string operators requires a detailed understanding of the local Hilbert spaces of the Levin-Wen model in terms of skein theory. This relies on the connection between the Levin-Wen model and the Turaev-Viro topological quantum field theory, and enables the construction of string operators producing anyon representations. The main result is the unitary braided monoidal equivalence, SSS$_f ≃Z(\mathcal C)$, between the full subcategory of superselection sectors of the Levin-Wen model with finite-dimensional endomorphism spaces, and the Drinfeld center of the category $\mathcal C$.

Across three empirical studies, the thesis (1) develops a comprehensive framework of relational dishonesty based on qualitative accounts, encompassing the forms, content, consequences, and motives of dishonesty, (2) constructs and validates a measure of dishonesty in intimate relationships, and (3) investigates how dishonesty emerges in couples' everyday interactions and is linked to relationship functioning over time. Together, the findings advance an integrated understanding of relational dishonesty as a multifaceted and dynamic process embedded in couples' daily lives.

The first chapter, written with Steffen Altmann, Malte Jacob Rattenborg and Alexander Sebald, investigates how the visibility of job postings shapes application behavior and firm recruitment. We show that doubling first-week clicks increases total applications by nearly 80 percent and pulls applications forward in time, without affecting applicant quality. These results indicate inefficiencies in firms’ posting practices and speak to the central role of visibility in firm hiring. In the second chapter, I examine how gender differences in job search unfold from vacancy consideration to application submission. Conditional on opening a posting, women are about 15 percent less likely to apply relative to otherwise similar men. Women’s sorting into lower-wage and shorter-commute jobs arises primarily at the consideration stage, whereas selection into part-time positions intensifies as search progresses. These findings highlight that gender gaps in job search and in applied-for wages emerge from both vacancy selection and the scope of search. The third chapter, written with Robert Mahlstedt and Alexander Sebald, turns to the design of search advice on platforms and asks whether more information helps or hinders job seekers. In a large-scale field experiment with more than 80,000 unemployed workers, we show that job seekers receiving simplified guidance are more optimistic, search more, and are more likely to find a job, all while experiencing smaller wage losses. These findings suggest that even potentially useful advice can lose effectiveness in a cognitively demanding informational environment. Together, the three chapters show that the digital organization of job search is a key determinant of how labor markets function, with direct implications for firms, policymakers, and platform designers seeking to improve hiring efficiency and reduce inequality.

"Effects of language-specific structure on agrammatism lessons from Greenlandic";"Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics";"2026-05-08";"13:00";"";"15:00";"South Campus, 23.0.49";"Public PhD defence by Mads Nielsen.";"Public PhD defence by Mads Nielsen Abstract Agrammatism is a type of non-fluent aphasia characterised by difficulties with grammatical elements. The syndrome has primarily been described in Indo European languages, whose structures are rather similar. Therefore, only little is known about the crosslinguistic variation in symptoms of agrammatism and how structural features of individual languages influence this variation. To investigate effects of language-specific structure on the symptoms of agrammatism, this thesis presents a description of agrammatism in Greenlandic, a language that, unlike Indo-European languages, is highly synthetic. Two findings stand out: 1) the participants with agrammatism use many verbs and 2) their difficulties with suffixes are relatively limited. Both findings are surprising given that studies in other languages often link agrammatism to sparse use of verbs and pronounced difficulties with suffixes. However, the Greenlandic findings can be explained with reference to the structure of the language: verbs are the only obligatory part of clauses, and most roots are bound, meaning that inflection is a precondition for using them. Regarding the use of optional suffixes, the thesis proposes that many of them have lexical rather than grammatical status in Greenlandic and are therefore not directly affected by the grammatical difficulties that characterise agrammatism. To test this proposal, the thesis provides a crosslinguistic definition of lexical affixes as potentially prominent and modifiable. Suffixes identified as lexical according to the definition cannot, however, immediately account for the use of optional suffixes by the participants with agrammatism. Nevertheless, the definition of lexical affixes constitutes a contribution to the description of Greenlandic and other synthetic languages. By comparing the observations in Greenlandic to observations in other languages, the thesis argues that symptoms of agrammatism pertaining to structural linguistic categories, such as sparse use of verbs, cannot be assumed to be universal. This insight is crucial for attaining a crosslinguistically adequate understanding of agrammatism, and it is relevant for clinicians working with less-studied languages because it implies that they should not necessarily look for or treat the features that have proven relevant in more well-studied languages.

Green Capitalism, Salvage Accumulation and the Quest for Autonomy";"The Political Ecology of Balsa Wood. Green Capitalism, Salvage Accumulation and the Quest for Autonomy Abstract The large-scale production of renewable energy infrastructure for the green transition generates new resource demands, among which balsa wood – used in wind turbine blades – stands out as a renewable material. While for some, the logging and manufacturing of the lightweight wood in Ecuador represents an opportunity for sustainable development, for others it resembles cases of green extractivism, where communities and producers in the Global South shoulder the social and ecological costs of greening industrial economies. In contrast to forms of extractivism that are enabled through displacement and enclosure, the balsa industry operates through a combination of plantations monopolised by multinational firms and salvage accumulation, where traders and Amazonian communities source the wood from fallow land and forests. These practices are characterised by mobility, informal markets, and heterogeneous arrangements of work, and produce complex ways in which resource workers manoeuvre the possibilities and constraints of operating in the niches of a global supply chain. Based on eleven months of multi-sited ethnographic research following balsa from forests to factories, this dissertation examines how resource workers navigate the tension between autonomy and dependence under the volatile conditions of global green markets. The first chapter examines the colonial legacies that shape the balsa industry and situates salvaging as a long-established modality of extraction which is enabled by the abundance and light weight of balsa trees. The second chapter analyses how the 2020 balsa boom expanded salvaging practices into the Amazon rainforest, showing how communities are drawn into the lucrative but unsettling trade. It explores the challenges community members face in the attempt to benefit from the boom while sustaining communal life amid the divisive pressures of capitalist relations. The third chapter sheds light on the ways in which balsa traders carve out informal spaces in which they seek autonomy from regulatory authorities while at the same time grappling with risks and the exposure to violence that flexible extraction can imply. The last chapter then turns to manufacturing plants and examines how factory workers accept heteronomous structures in exchange for the promise of stable employment, which, however, is marked by fragility and uncertainty as even formal contracts bend under unpredictable global market dynamics. By tracing the wood across the supply chain, I show how during boom-and-bust cycles, all workers operating within the balsa economy reorganise their livelihoods around flexible extraction tied to global market rhythms. On the one hand, these rhythms generate pervasive uncertainty, reconfigure social relations, disrupt communal practices and produce highly competitive conditions that can turn into conflict and violence. At the same time, salvaging balsa for a global supply chain allows workers to negotiate the terms of their involvement and to benefit from an otherwise inaccessible market. Autonomy, in this context, must be understood as always relational, as it reflects balsa workers’ capacity to shape and navigate their livelihoods within constraints that are produced by states, markets, external temporalities, and the material properties of balsa itself. The thesis contributes to critiques of green capitalism and the political ecology of climate change mitigation by emphasising the unequal ways in which the renewable energy transition is organised and unfolds. It argues that while the energy transition is often portrayed as a smooth and linear path toward sustainability, it is based on the outsourcing of uncertainty and chronic instability to resource producers, mainly in the Global South. While forms of salvage accumulation create niches in which workers pursue autonomy as independence from employers and the state, this autonomy remains compromised by dependence on unpredictable markets and the competitive pressures of resource booms. Highlighting salvaging as a central modality of resource extraction adds analytical complexity to existing studies of green extractivism and underscores the need to understand these supply-chain niches as key arenas in which struggles over autonomy take place Assessment Committee Associate professor Mine IslarProfessor Anja NygrenProfessor Gabriela Valdivia Supervisors Professor Jens Friis Lund Place The defence is conducted as a hybrid defence.

"Securing the Future: Border Security Innovation, Preemption, and the Problem of Critique in Neoliberal (Dis)Orders";"Department of Political Science";"2026-05-08";"14:00";"";"17:00";"CSS 1.1.18";"PhD defence by Nijat Eldarov.";"PhD defence by Nijat Eldarov. Summary Critical border security scholarship has increasingly come to understand border security technologies as non-linear outcomes of ongoing relationships between human and nonhuman actors within heterogeneous networks. Paradoxically, this relational view is replicated within the (border) security sector itself: since the beginning of the War on Terror, security authorities in the Western world have defined the world as composed of dynamic volatilities within more-than-human relations, where a single change may trigger cascading risks across the system, thereby necessitating ubiquitous and permanent surveillance to detect potential anomalies. In light of this ontological overlap, this dissertation asks how border security innovation can be theorised as preemption and what the implications of this are for critical theorising, taking EU border security research and development projects as its case study. Drawing on a historical materialist sensibility, this dissertation proposes investigating the border security–critique nexus in relation to the organisation of production. It conceptualises the economic crises of the 1970s as generating a fantasy of ontological restructuring, in which life came to be understood as far-from-equilibrium to overcome the economic and ecological limits associated with industrial production under Fordist–Keynesian welfare regimes. I demonstrate that this shift has unfolded through three paradigms of emerging flexible capital accumulation: financialization, product modularisation, and ecologization. Accordingly, I conceptualise preemption as composed of speculative, modular, and ecological risk management rationalities, all oriented toward protecting capitalist flows from potential disruptions. Drawing on document analysis, interviews, and field observations, I demonstrate empirically that across all three rationalities, border security innovation enacts flexible capital accumulation simultaneously as both the cause of and the solution to emerging risks, securing the socio-ecological reproduction of capitalism. This process operates through a plastic ontology of life, in which correlative reason displaces causal inquiry into why risks arise, instead promoting volatility management, data-driven surveillance, and technological sensing as dominant modes of governance. Finally, I demonstrate, both theoretically and empirically, that these developments depend on the disciplining of labour and reproduce racialised and colonial histories of domination. This analysis shows that reliance on relational ontologies emphasising fluidity, multiplicity, instability, and dynamicity, despite their critical promise, entails a dangerous side effect: by enacting critique as disruption, such approaches often reproduce regimes of flexible capital accumulation and remain entangled with the security sector’s capitalisation on relationality. I therefore call for an understanding of reality as simultaneously structured and emergent to re-centre critique on the structural violence of capitalism.

Abstract This practice-based PhD investigates how a sonic practice might create conditions for decentering human exceptionalism. It develops sound-ing-sound understood not as a fixed object, but as a relational, energetic, and processual field – as both a conceptual framework and a methodological approach. Beginning from the author’s own artistic practice, the research treats practice as a testing ground for exploring how we orient through sound, and how orientation might be destabilized to foreground relations and interdependencies between bodies, technologies, and environments. The project is structured through three Propositions for Sound-ing: Dialogue with Electromagnetic Fields, Inhabit Thresholds, and Become Ground. These function as orientation devices that guide artistic experiments across performance, installation, instrument design, and writing. Rather than applying theory to practice, knowledge emerges through their continuous interaction. The dissertation demonstrates how sonic practice can redistribute agency, challenge distinctions between subject and environment, and support more relational ways of sensing and participating in the world. Rather than offering a fixed model, it proposes a flexible methodological approach grounded in attention, experimentation, and collaboration. Resume (in Danish) Denne praksisbaserede ph.d. undersøger, hvordan en sonisk praksis kan skabe betingelser for at decentralisere menneskelig exceptionalisme. Den udvikler sound-ing-lyd forstået ikke som et fast objekt, men som et relationelt, energetisk og processuelt felt – som både et begrebsligt rammeværk og en metodisk tilgang. Med udgangspunkt i forfatterens egen kunstneriske praksis betragter forskningen praksis som et afprøvningsrum for at undersøge, hvordan vi orienterer os gennem lyd, og hvordan denne orientering kan destabiliseres for at fremhæve relationer og indbyrdes afhængigheder mellem kroppe, teknologier og omgivelser. Projektet er struktureret gennem tre Propositions for sound-ing: Dialogue with Electromagnetic Fields, Inhabit Thresholds og Become Ground. Disse fungerer som orienteringsredskaber, der guider kunstneriske eksperimenter på tværs af performance, installation, instrumentdesign og skrivning. Frem for at anvende teori på praksis opstår viden gennem deres kontinuerlige samspil. Afhandlingen viser, hvordan sonisk praksis kan omfordele agens, udfordre skel mellem subjekt og omgivelser og understøtte mere relationelle måder at sanse og deltage i verden på. Frem for at tilbyde en fast model foreslår den en fleksibel metodisk tilgang forankret i opmærksomhed, eksperiment og samarbejde.

"På vej. Liv og vandring i kirkekunst og kulturkritik 1900-1950: Emmausberetningen og Vilhelm Grønbechs pilgrimsmyte";"Det Teologiske Fakultet";"2026-05-22";"13:15";"";"";"Søndre Campus, lokale 9A-0-01 (Kierkegaard auditoriet)";"Miriam Have Watts forsvarer sin ph.d.-afhandling.";"Miriam Have Watts forsvarer sin ph.d.-afhandling. Resumé ”Vi er fremmede på vej til Paradis”, skrev religionshistoriker og filolog Vilhelm Grønbech i bogen Kampen for en ny Sjæl, udgivet på dansk i 1946. Grønbech er en af de mange, der gennem tiden har samlet grundfortællingen om mennesket som rejsende i tilværelsen op: et eksistentielt tema, der findes i et utal af forståelser og bearbejdninger. Med udgangspunkt i livsvandringens særlige plads i den kristne antropologi undersøger afhandlingen to materialer, der beskæftiger sig med det at vandre under kristendommens perspektiv: dels billedkunstens fortolkninger af vandringsmotivet i beretningen Vandringen til Emmaus (Luk. 24,13-35) fra første halvdel af 1900-tallet i den danske folkekirkes kirker, dels Grønbechs pilgrimsmyte, som han formulerer den i Kampen for en ny Sjæl. Undersøgelsen bringer disse bearbejdninger af vandringsmotivet frem hver for sig, i deres danske kultur- og åndshistoriske sammenhæng. Desuden sammenstilles de to studier med den hensigt at åbne for en opmærksomhed på, hvordan det undersøgte materiale – der deler et motivisk grund-udspring, men har væsensforskellige indfaldsvinkler – kan anspore til nye diskussioner af og indsigt i, hvordan æstetiske udtryk og kritisk tænkning kommer til syne og stedvis krydser hinanden.
