De senaste årtiondena har samhället i stort präglats av digitalisering. Så också detaljhandeln, med en växande betydelse av digitala plattformar där människor gör sina vardagsinköp via dator, till alltmer även via mobilen. Avgörande för om människor faktiskt kan genomföra sina köp i detaljhandeln är betalningar. Betalningar har liksom detaljhandeln också blivit mer digitala, med en stadig minskninThis dissertation explores how and why certain payment methods are used in retail.Payment methods have changed in their form throughout history, and rapidly so in recent decades. Surprisingly, the treatment of payment in retail research appears detached from its purpose of use; i.e. purchasing products and services.Payment has a role to play in the digitalisation of society and is part of shaping

BackgroundNoncommunicable disease, in particular cardiovascular disease (CVD) and diabetes are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the world. Short and long sleep durations are associated with adverse health outcomes, however, the biological mechanisms for these associations are not fully elucidated. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the association between sleep duration and proteo

This paper investigates the challenges of gender mainstreaming in Swedish municipalities, with a focus on the initial implementation. Since the mid-1990s, gender mainstreaming has been the prevailing strategy within Swedish authorities and public administration to increase gender equality in society. In simple terms, this means that a gender equality perspective must be integrated into all decisioThis paper investigates the challenges of gender mainstreaming in Swedish municipalities, with a focus on the initial implementation.

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.

This paper reports results of a production experiment in which nine native speakers of Tokyo Japanese read aloud sentences with varied syntactic structures, word orders, and levels of awareness of the syntactic structure. In particular, this study investigates the prosodic realization of embedded clause boundaries and potential effects of word order and readers’ awareness of the syntactic structur

Poster presented at the Workshop on Intonation at the crossroads (CROSSIN)This study revisits arguments for and against the mapping of syntactic clauses to intonational phrases (ι) and argues that the clause–ι mapping is only apparent, and hence should be eliminated from the syntax–prosody mapping. Instead, it will be proposed that the ι is more directly related to discourse-related units, namely,

Digital Twins are realistic digital representations of the physical world, frequently characterised by a two way link between digital and physical. Originating in manufacturing, they are now expanding to city and national scales. In this paper we explore connections between Geographic Information Science and National Digital Twins. Six different viewpoints and perspectives are presented on the top

Syftet med denna översikt är att redogöra för rättspraxis från EU-domstolarna av central betydelse under perioden januari till och med mars 2024. Inget svenskt mål tas upp denna gång och målen som redovisas rör vitt skilda rättsområden. Domstolen har meddelat en principiellt betydelsefull dom som rör allmänhetens tillgång till harmoniserade EU-standarder, dvs. standarder som utgör en viktig del av

I artikel diskuteras hur regleringskonkurrens, dvs. företags utnyttjande av skillnader i nationella regler, fått allt större betydelse inom EU på det socialpolitiska området. Företag kan idag t.ex. ägna sig åt socialförsäkringsshopping på EU:s inre marknad för att minska sina sociala kostnader. Detta underlättas av den snabba digitaliseringen inom den s.k. gig-ekonomin med digitala plattformar som
