The paper investigates the phenomenon of double exploitation in ’passionate work’, where workers are exploiting themselves in their dedication to work and colleagues, simultaneously as being exposed to exploitation by employers and the industry at large. The study is based on an analysis of semi-structured interviews with game developers employed in the Swedish digital games industry.

The purpose of the article is to shed light on how experiences of sensory perceptions in the domains of VISION, SMELL, TASTE and TOUCH are recast into text and discourse in the genre of wine reviews. Because of the alleged paucity of sensory vocabularies, in particular in the olfactory domain, it is of particular interest to investigate what resources language has to offer in order to describe tho

A perpetual series of terror attacks have caused the European Union to shake in its foundations. In the face of the escalating transnational threat of terrorism, decision-makers, under severe public pressure, have repeatedly called for deeper international intelligence cooperation. A bold idea currently being debated is the establishment of a new European Intelligence Unit (EIU) in the field of co

In this study I have explored xenophobia in Europe, using cross-national attitudinal survey and regression analysis. Two main theories constitute the theoretical framework, one based on economic conditions and one on group belonging and identity. They are tested, using the ISSP study from 2003 with the yearly topic ‘National Identity’, and their relation to the dependent variable, xenophobia, is e

The basic relevance of this thesis is the need to always examine the democratic society and its evolvement. In the year 2008 a new law was enacted. It changed the so called ´FRA-law` which regard the institution ´Swedish Defence Radio Authority` and enabled it to wiretap all telephone and Internet traffic that crosses Sweden's borders. With these two central factors for a ´good` democratic com

ABB has identified a potential in decreasing their levels of capital employed and in particular net working capital, NWC. To release tied up capital from the balance sheet, a decision was taken to start an initiative with focus on NWC. The focus area is to reduce NWC as percentage of revenues and to reduce the levels of overdues. The objective of this report is to describe a methodology for decrea

Lung cancer accounts for 1.6 million cancers annually and 1.3 million deaths per year make the disease the deadliest type of cancer. Smoking is the most prominent cause. High mortality rates are partly due to late diagnosis which limits the therapy options. Improved understanding of molecular and biological mechanisms of tumor development could guide current therapy selection or pave way for novelLung cancer accounts for 1.6 million cancers annually and 1.3 million deaths per year make the disease the deadliest type of cancer.

Popular Abstract in English This thesis concerns experiments of heat transfer in a rectangular channel with ribs and an obstacle. Liquid crystal thermography (LCT) is used to record the temperature fields in the experiments. LCT is based on measurement of the color response of a heated surface. When illuminated with a white light, the liquid crystals react to temperature changes by changing color,This thesis presents experimental investigations of local heat transfer in a rectangular channel (aspect ratio AR = 4) with continuous transverse ribs as well as an obstacle. Liquid crystal thermography (LCT) is employed to obtain the temperature fields in the heat transfer experiments. The liquid crystal applied here has a red start at 35°C and a bandwidth of 1°C. The work consists of (1) periodi

X-rays allow to non-destructively investigate biological, chemical or physical processes at thenano-scale. Their high penetration depth in matter allows to investigate samples even in-side sample environments, which would be difficult with complementary methods such astransmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Prior to resettlement, refugee children are exposed to stressors that leave them vulnerable to the development of health and psychosocial problems. The nature of these problems has been identified in numerous studies involving refugee children and their parents, yet relatively few studies have been carried out with workers from governmental and voluntary organizations. The primary aim of this stud

However, there exists great semantic confusion within academic literature surrounding the term “sharing economy,” which threatens the realisation of its purported sustainability potential.

It is increasingly evident that the centre of gravity of international relations is shifting in the direction of Asia. China’s economic and political rise is the single most important dimension of this development. This coincides with fading American hegemony, obvious during, but in essence not limited to, the Trump Presidency.

This paper sets out to discuss the relevance of the concept of the ”social help state” (socialhjälpstaten) within the framework of Swedish historiography by focusing on the organization of poor relief in Gothenburg between 1890 and 1920. Coined by Norwegian historian Anne Lise Seip in 1984, the term socialhjälpstaten has been used extensively in the study of early welfare institutions and provisio

The Swedish digital games industry portrays itself as inclusive and egalitarian, yet structural inequalities persist, particularly for women. Despite progress in gender equality in Sweden, the industry remains male-dominated, with women comprising only 24% of the workforce in 2023. Female game developers often face exclusion, sexism, and limited career opportunities, being relegated to less presti
