Abstract
The emergence of large language models (LLMs) has changed the world and human lives in many different ways. Nowadays there is a new idea that LLMs are a big database of people’s opinions, therefore, It is possible to replace them with humans in some parts of the design process, while LLMs may not capture all the individual and cultural differences, and it can lead to discrimination against a group of people.
This thesis investigates the representativeness of LLM-generated user personas by comparing three different persona creation approaches—LLM-solely, LLM-auto, and LLM-summarizing—across two cultural contexts: Germany and Iran. By collecting survey data from real participants in both countries, this study establishes a ground truth for evaluating the generated personas with LLM.

Abstract
This paper explores the factors contributing to the high cost of internet services in Afghanistan, a country struggling to modernize its telecommunications infrastructure amid socio-economic and geopolitical challenges. Key factors include insufficient infrastructure, with limited fiber-optic networks and heavy reliance on costly satellite connectivity, which drives up operational expenses for internet service providers. The monopolistic nature of the market, with minimal competition and state-controlled entities dominating the sector, further Increase pricing. Additionally, high import taxes on telecommunications equipment, coupled with inconsistent regulatory policies, hinder cost reductions. Security concerns and political instability also play a significant role, as the maintenance and expansion of infrastructure are often disrupted, leading to higher risk premiums. The lack of local content and dependence on international bandwidth also elevate costs. Addressing these challenges requires investments in infrastructure, regulatory reforms, and fostering competition to make the internet more accessible and affordable for Afghan citizens.
