AI och diskriminering - Riskerna, regleringen och utmaningarna

AI, alltså artificiell intelligens, är en snabbt växande del av vårt samhälle, och påverkar redan allt från vardagliga tjänster till samhällskritiska funktioner. Samtidigt har utvecklingen väckt både möjligheter och farhågor. En av farhågorna gäller ökad diskriminering, och det är just det denna uppsats ämnar avhandla. I uppsatsen undersöks riskerna för diskriminering relaterade till AI i ett juri

Ödehus - utmaningar och möjligheter

Vi alla har sett dem! Tomma hus som en gång varit trygga hem men som förvandlats till byggnader i förfall. Ofta ligger de på vackra platser, byggda med gedigna material och med lång och händelserik historia. Vi pratar såklart om alla övergivna hus som finns i Sverige. Hus som tappat sitt syfte men inte sin själ. Hus som skulle kunna ses som en resurs i den viktiga klimatomställningen och som en de

Modified almost unbiased two-parameter estimator for the Poisson regression model with an application to accident data

Due to the large amount of accidents negatively affecting the wellbeing of the survivors and their families, a substantial amount of research is conducted to determine the causes of road accidents. This type of data come in the form of non-negative integers and may be modelled using the Poisson regression model. Unfortunately, the commonly used maximum likelihood estimator is unstable when the exp

Genome-wide association studies of late-onset cardiovascular disease.

Human genetics is a powerful tool for discovering causal mediators of human disease and physiology. Cardiovascular diseases with late onset in the lifecourse have historically not been considered genetic diseases, but in recent years the contribution of a heritable factor has been established. More importantly, over the last decade genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified many loci

A blind trilobite with Baltic affinities from Cambrian Series 3 of the Iberian Chains, Spain, and its stratigraphical and palaeobiogeographical significance

Three cranidia of a conocoryphid trilobite are described from the lower Caesaraugustan Regional Stage (upper part of provisional Cambrian Stage 5 within Cambrian Series 3) in the Iberian Chains, Spain. The material is from the upper part of the Mansilla Formation and the base of the overlying Murero Formation. It closely resembles Bailiella tenuicincta (Linnarsson, 1879), which has previously been

Kidney cadmium as compared to other markers of cadmium exposure in workers at a secondary metal smelter

BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to evaluate whether cadmium concentrations in kidney (K-Cd), blood (B-Cd) or urine (U-Cd) could reveal previous occupational cadmium exposure at a metal smelter. METHODS: The study included 90 smelters and 35 controls (B-Cd and U-Cd determination). In a subgroup (N = 33), K-Cd was also determined. RESULTS: B-Cd (median 4.6; range 0.5-53 nmol/L), U-Cd (0. 29; 0.

Studying dialogical selves dialogically: multiple-horizon analysis of critical moments in the working life of theatre actors in two cultures

The project reported on here, construed within the general ontological framework of hermeneutic inquiry, considers the methodological consequences of this basic approach. A specific methodology that was developed, capturing both subjective contents and discursive construction processes, is described. It consists of a Diary-in-group method combining personal diary writing with group conversations a

Two new European species of Delia Robineau-Desvoidy (Diptera: Anthomyiidae) with a bipartite male sternite III.

Two species within the Delia cardui species group were known to have males with the abdominal sternite III bipartite or very deeply incised, viz., D. bipartita Suwa from Japan and China and D. polaris Griffiths from extreme northern and high-altitude sites in North America. Two new species with this extraordinary character are described from northern Europe: D. rimiventris sp. nov. from southern N

Endokrin oftalmopati ur fyra olika perspektiv

Graves' orbitopathy is a common complication of Graves' disease. The mild form dominates, whereas moderate to severe and sight threatening forms are rarer. They require quick, adequate care, involving cooperation between county hospitals and the regional hospital, and adequate diagnostics and choice of treatments of treatments. A new national guideline for hyperthyroidism has been published in Swe

Urban Lives: A Micro- Level Approach to Economic and Demographic Change in the Twentieth Century

This chapter introduces the research presented in the volume. It starts by highlighting the importance of an individual-level perspective to understand how long-term economic and societal changes connected with industrialization and post-industrialization have affected individuals and families during the twentieth century and into the twenty-first century as these changes pertain to social class,

Central or Local Compensation of Earth-Fault Currents in Non-Effectively Earthed Distribution Systems

Centralized Petersen coil earthing in networks with extensive use of underground cable involves flow of large quantities of reactive earth fault current. In networks with long radial cable feeders this creates problems involving active losses and active and reactive earth fault current. One possible solution to the problem is the use of local compensation. This paper aims at understanding the limi

Association between self-reported alcohol consumption and diastolic dysfunction : a cross-sectional study

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: While alcohol consumption is associated with common risk factors for diastolic dysfunction the independent impact of low levels of alcohol consumption on this condition in a community setting is still unclear.Thus, the aim of this study was to explore this association in a representative population sample employing optimal echocardiographic techniques.DESIGN: Cross-secti

Myten om Governance En studie av den nyliberala normen och välfärdsstatens förfall

The thesis of this essay is that the concept of governance is a product of the neo-liberal dominant ideology and that the implementation of governance ideas will lead to a weaker nation-state. Using critical theory the essay constructs an ideal type of neo-liberalism and compares its core values with these of the governance concept as treated by the main literature in the area. The essay then focu
