Both the pandemic and Euro crisis posed social risks in terms of unemployment and poverty. Yet, we see a more socially focussed crisis response to the pandemic, whereas the Euro crisis mainly neglected social policy. My thesis asks in how far such social policy crisis response variation can be understood. Hitherto literature usually focusses on instiutionalist arguments that are unable to bridge s
Denna uppsats undersöker effekterna av minimikapitalkravet i relation till svenska privata aktiebolag. Aktiekapitalets ”vara eller inte vara” är något som länge debatterats, i Sverige och utanför. Sverige och många av de kontinentaleuropeiska länderna, såsom Tyskland, har en tradition att kräva att entreprenörer som önskar att starta ett privat aktiebolag bidrar med kapital till detta. Skälen är This thesis aims to clarify the effects of the minimum share capital requirement in relation to Swedish private limited liability companies. The “be or not to be” of a minimum share capital requirement has been debated for a long time, both in Sweden and abroad. Sweden and many of the European continental countries such as Germany has a tradition of requiring that entrepreneurs wishing to form a
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is advancing rapidly. It is beginning to appear in personal life, business sectors, society, and shows impacts on each these contexts. The purpose of this study is to increase our understanding of how narrow AI could potentially affect the way we will organise. To fulfil this purpose, the Four Frames was used to collect and analyse recent publications for insights over
Denna avhandling utforskar inverkan av generativ AI på förstärkning av cyberkriminella aktiviteter, särskilt genom skapandet av bedrägligt innehåll och hur det påverkar offrens uppfattning. En serie formella experiment (n = 15) bedömde hur AI-genererat bedrägligt material jämför sig med mänskligt genererade bedrägerier när det gäller att påverka offer, med användning av modellen för sannolikhetsba
The theme of this issue is infrastructure as code (IaC). This concept typically refers to the application of software engineering practices in managing deployment infrastructure. Moving from physical hardware to virtual machines using configuration files that are way more flexibleâ€Â"and they can be version controlled and distributed. As such, IaC paves the way for automation and DevOps. This col
15% of all five year olds and 5-10% of all 7 year olds struggle with bedwetting, a condition medically known as enuresis. Current treatment methods rely primarily on the family to carry out an 8 week treatment. In order to involve healthcare providers in the process and create an opportunity for individualized treatments, Pjama AB has developed an enuresis alarm system. This system directly shares
In this thesis, we present a new perspective on the visibility of communication in Enterprise Social Networks (ESNs). We present findings of a qualitative study on the implementation of such a tool in a fast-growing Swedish consultancy organization with a geographically dispersed workforce. Our key finding is that the visibility of communication can impede active contributions of employees, and he
This study examines Nestlé and their CSR engagement from an environmental aspect, focusing on deforestation and their use of palm oil. Being the world’s largest producer of food and beverages they are a target for public scrutiny when engaging in CSR initiatives. Using Archie B. Carroll’s pyramid of CSR and Lyon & Maxwell’s theory of corporate environmentalism will localise the predominant fac
The steroid hormone metabolite of vitamin D3, 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25D3), promotes osteogenic activity and regulates calcium and phosphate metabolism, which are actions regarded as classical vitamin D-regulated functions. Besides its role in these processes, 1,25D3 also seems implicated in the host defense against microbial/pro-inflammatory attacks. Low serum levels of vitamin D3 (vitamin
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women. It is most commonly treated by the surgical removal of the tumour in combination with (neo)-adjuvant therapy (hormone, chemo- or radio- therapy before or after surgery). However, a large number of patients are over treated, with approximately 60% being given adjuvant therapy when already cured by surgery alone. This causes many undesirable
This review describes the history, development, and evolution of cell-based replacement therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD), from the first pioneering trials with fetal ventral midbrain progenitors to future trials using stem cells as well as reprogrammed cells. In the spirit of Tom Isaacs, the review takes parallels to the storyline of Star Wars, including the temptations from the dark side and
Under de senaste åren, sedan lanseringen av ChatGPT 2022, har AI-användning ökat lavinartat och kommit att förändra det akademiska landskapet. Med denna snabba adoptering har även en stor mängd forskning följt, mycket som dock snabbt dateras då AI fortsatt konstant utvecklas. Denna studie ämnar därför att undersöka variationer i attityder gentemot och an-vändning av generativ AI i studiesammanhang
The ubiquitous use of artificial intelligence (AI) can bring about both positive and negative consequences for individuals and societies. On the negative side, there is a concern not only about the impact of AI on first-order discrete individual rights (such as the right to privacy, non-discrimination and freedom of opinion and expression) but also about whether the human rights framework is fit f
Land acquisitions have increased significantly over the last decade and claims have been made that these actions are both neo-colonial and wrong. Others claim that there are benefits to be gained for all parties, directly and indirectly involved. When land is being sold or leased from poor farmers to rich corporations what are the potentials and what are the limitations? Are livelihoods, displacem
The future is robotic. Already we are seeing how society is changing with self-driving cars and robots at hospitals and schools. The huge potential of autonomous systems (AS) is highly discussed. What is not highly discussed, and rarely even acknowledged, is the key role trust plays in realizing these benefits. No common way of defining, testing, or measuring it exists. I argue that this lack of
