This thesis examines how early-stage entrepreneurs integrate generative AI into their ideation processes. As AI is increasingly used, it raises the question of how entrepreneurial ideation should be understood when idea development happens through interaction between entrepreneurs and AI systems. The study is guided by the research question: How do early-stage entrepreneurs integrate generative AI
This study examines how social entrepreneurs reason through potential value conflicts between social and commercial considerations, a process that has received little empirical attention at the individual level. We conducted scenario-based, semi-structured interviews with eight social entrepreneurs leading established social enterprises in Sweden, drawing on think-aloud and retrospective verba
On New Year's Eve 1947, the Danish Catholic priest Peter Schindler moved into the German Priests’ College at the Campo Santo Teutonico, the idyllic German cemetery in the Vatican. He remained there for twenty years, returning to Denmark only in 1964. By then, he was in poor health and passed away three years later. In his memoirs, he states that he had been sent to Rome by the Apostolic Vicar of D
This article examines the personal trajectory of Sebastià Estradé, with special attention to his activity as a science-fiction writer since the 1960s. Halfway between science popularisation and science-fiction writing, Estradé witnessed the 1960s Space Race and the 1970s awakening of environmental consciousness. With a strong background in Law, he became known after he retired, when he sued mining
Forward-only algorithms offer a promising memory-efficient alternative to Backpropagation (BP) for on-device training. However, state-of-the-art forward-only algorithms, e.g., Forward-Forward (FF), still require a substantial amount of memory during the training process, often exceeding the limits of mobile edge and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. At the same time, existing memory-optimization t
Denna avhandling undersöker hur legitimiteten i Europeiska Unionens (EU) stöd för LGBTIQ-jämlikhet bör bedömas och hävdas mot bakgrund av ytterhögerns främjande av en konkurrerande vision för europeiskt samarbete som är rotad i anti-genderpolitik. Med utgångspunkt i agonistisk och queer-teori konceptualiseras EU:s stöd för LGBTIQ-jämlikhet som ett försök att skapa en europeisk pro-LGBTIQ-konsensusThis dissertation examines how the legitimacy of the European Union’s (EU) support for LGBTIQ equality should be assessed and asserted amid the far right’s promotion of a rival vision for European cooperation rooted in anti-gender politics. Drawing on agonistic and queer theory, the EU’s support for LGBTIQ equality is conceptualised as an effort to forge a European pro-LGBTIQ consensus, termed sex
Darknet framställs ofta som en digital värld präglad av avvikelse och kriminalitet – en plats där ”allt är tillåtet” och som därför anses kräva övervakning och kontroll. Trots detta är kryptoforum fortfarande relativt understuderade. Med utgångspunkt i tre års etnografiskt fältarbete ger denna avhandling nya insikter i de interna dynamikerna i en till stor del dold onlinegemenskap. Genom att kombiThe Darknet is often portrayed as an online realm marked by deviance and criminality – a space where “anything goes” and therefore requires policing. Yet its cryptoforums remain comparatively understudied. Drawing on three years of ethnographic fieldwork, this dissertation provides new insights into the internal dynamics of a largely hidden online community. Combining digital observations with 19
Effective and locally supported river restoration requires attention to the social dimensions of rivers. This paper examines local perceptions of hydropower and restoration in the river Rönne å, an early case under Sweden’s National Plan for Modern Environmental Conditions for Hydropower. A mixed-methods approach, including a questionnaire and qualitative interviews, explores how inhabitants relat
BACKGROUND: Metabolic-bariatric surgery is an efficient therapy in selected adolescents with severe obesity. However, predictingthe postoperative weight loss is challenging. A machine learning calculator predicting 5-year weight loss trajectory has beendeveloped in adults, based on seven preoperative features. The aim of the present study was to adapt and test it in adolescents.METHODS: Retrospect
Abstract in Italian:Questa tesi è frutto di un percorso dottorale interdisciplinare in Sostenibilità Ambientale e Benessere. La ricerca parte da un’impronta archeologica e viene arricchita dall’approccio digitale integrato con la psicologia sociale, per approfondire l'intricato rapporto tra paesaggio, comunità locale e benessere individuale, sfruttando il potenziale dei dati 3D come veicolo per l'This interdisciplinary thesis emerges from an interdisciplinary doctoral journey in Environmental Sustainability and Well-being. Rooted in archaeology and enriched by digital expertise combined with social psychology, it delves into the intricate interplay between landscape, community dynamics, and individual well-being, leveraging the potential of 3D data as a conduit for interdisciplinary explor
How should scarce health-related resources be distributed at the population level? How should society prioritize whose health needs should be met? These are questions all health systems must grapple with. In Distributing Health, Anders Herlitz introduces the most common normative approaches to this issue and outlines an original approach that builds on insights from both procedural and substantive
Membrane-assisted antisolvent crystallization (MAAC) is an emerging technology that can control antisolvent crystallization and give a crystal size distribution up to four times narrower than conventional batch crystallization. Nonetheless, little is understood regarding the interactions between the different compounds of the system, i.e., the solvent, antisolvent, solute and membranes, so molecul
The choice between altering membrane properties or the process conditions impacts the cost of the system and its footprint. Membrane-assisted antisolvent crystallization (MAAC) is a new technology that controls antisolvent mass transfer to the crystallizing solution, which correlates directly with supersaturation rate and crystal development. The uniformity of crystal size is a key indicator of su
A significant developmental task for adolescents growing up in diverse societies is exploring their ethnic and cultural identities to develop a clear understanding of what these identities mean for their lives. Schools, especially teachers, are crucial socialization agents that can contribute to ethnic/racial identity development among adolescents and promote civic norms and values, such as the ap
This chapter explores how communication shapes adaptive resilience amid uncertainty and disruption. While resilience studies have traditionally focused on system capacities, communication is often treated as the transmission of information rather than as a constitutive process. Drawing on communication scholarship, the chapter conceptualises resilience as a relational achievement built through sen
