Denna studie syftar till att undersöka de sociologiska implikationerna som existerar kring Human Resources (HR) användning av Artificiell Intelligens (AI)-verktyg inom rekryteringsarbete. Studien har ett sociologiskt fokus i form av de teorier som appliceras på analysen av studiens resultat. Dessa teoretiska ramverk är institutionell teori, som används för att förklara hur organisatoriska trender The aim of this essay is to examine the implications that Human Resources (HR) usage of Artificiall Intelligence (AI) in recruiting processes have in relation to a sociological theoretical framework. The aim is to highlight both positive and negative aspects of this and discuss these factors in relation to sociological institutional theory as well as theory of symbolic interactionism. The topic of

E-scooter sharing systems (ESS) have rapidly gained popularity since their introduction in the U.S. in 2017, promoting sustainable urban mobility and offering a new solution to transport systems challenges. However, research on ESS usage in relation to the built environment, particularly in European contexts, is limited, and comparative studies between urban areas of different sizes are not readil

This thesis examines the intersection of media engagement and the construction of national identity among the Yao people, an ethnic minority in China. This inquiry emerges against the backdrop of China's state-driven media narratives aimed at fostering national unity amidst its diverse ethnic landscape. The study investigates how the Yao people, with their rich cultural heritage and history of

This thesis explores the algorithmic imaginaries and practices of the momo community, a spontaneously formed anonymous group on the Chinese social media platform RED. By adopting a cultural perspective on algorithms, this study investigates how momo users conceptualize algorithms, their practices influenced by these conceptualizations, and how these practices manifest as a form of algorithmic resi

This thesis explores the Swedish EdTech sector, specifically investigating the commercialization of Virtual Reality (VR) technology as an innovation. Conducted as a case study in collaboration with Edda Knowledge, it aims to address a research gap identified by several scholars who note that the research field of commercialization process and stakeholder theory has predominantly focused on expert

Cultural tourism and cultural heritage management, while distinct disciplines with differing foci, are also inherently intertwined. However, conflicts between the two often arise due to the diverse number of stakeholders and interests involved in either the travel industry or the conservation and protection of cultural heritage. Despite this, cultural tourism can greatly benefit the conservation o

This is a thesis about the Finnish populistic party Perussuomalaiset, in English the Finns Party. The party has become a force to be reckoned within the Finnish politics, therefore, knowing more about the Finns Party members is a must. The aim of the thesis is to map the identities of the Finns Party members and to find out why they chose this particular party. This is interesting because populism

The aviation sector's contribution to global CO2 emissions requires the exploration of sustainable energy alternatives, with hydrogen emerging as a promising candidate. Despite their potential, hydrogen aircraft propulsion systems are not yet commercially viable, primarily due to technical challenges such as cavitation in hydrogen pumps. This study aims to analyse and optimise the design of hy

Dagens textilindustri är starkt präglad av fast fashion, en global industri som bygger på stora inköp och små marginaler vilket leder till en överproduktion där 40 procent av de textilier som tillverkas globalt aldrig kommer ut på marknaden. Detta resulterar i bristande arbets- och levnadsförhållanden i produktionsländer samt enorma utsläpp. Med hjälp av politiska incitament och teknologiska framsToday's textile industry is strongly characterized by fast fashion, a global industry based on large purchases and small margins, leading to overproduction where 4 percent of the textiles produced globally never reach the market. This results in poor working and living conditions in producing countries and huge emissions. With policy incentives and technological advances, we can move towards l

ABSTRACT This dissertation focuses on Sweden’s involvement in applying EU anti-dumping measures within the framework of its WTO commitments. Laying emphasis on the dilemma of liberal trade policy evident in Sweden on one hand and safeguarding its Indigenous industries from unfair competition on the other hand, this research seeks to unravel how this country fulfills its obligations to the EU and t

In the northwest of Skåne, a peninsula stretches out and tapers off out into the ocean. This is Kullahalvön, a stronghold of contrasts that swings between the dramatic and romantic. Its edge rises from the sea like armor: shaped by weather and protective of all the landscape that rests behind it. Forests, meadows,fields and beaches overlap between the old fishing villages that have grown into town

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterised by motor and non-motor symptoms, including significant speech impairments. Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management and treatment. However, traditional diagnostic methods are often limited because they rely on subjective assessments and only detect symptoms after they have become noticeable.

This thesis explores the intersection of vernacular knowledge, modern technology and community engaging design to address the challenges posed by flooding and rising water levels in vulnerable areas. Initiated as a conceptual project for a flood resilient neighbourhood, the project evolved into a direct response to the specific needs of the DRCNAI community in Coloong, Valenzuela, Philippines. Thr

The NMDA receptors are natural glutamate binders that play critical roles in the function of the central nervous system, with their dysfunction implicated in serious psychiatric disorders and neurodegenerative conditions. Understanding their roles in the brain and developing treatments will benefit from the existence of small molecules specifically targeting different NMDA receptor subtypes. This

Pesticides or plant protection products (PPP) protect plants from harmful organisms and prevent the spread of invasive species. However, their use is not without problems, as pesticides can have harmful effects on the environment. One of these effects is reduced biodiversity, as pesticides often affect non-target organisms and change water and soil composition. Reduced diversity through the cleari

Bakgrund: HLR innebär att hjärtkompressioner och inblåsningar ska göras i händelse av ett plötsligt hjärtstopp. En legitimerad läkare får, i samråd med annan legitimerad personal, fatta beslut om att avstå HLR. Att genomföra utsiktslös HLR vid svår kronisk sjukdom, eller vid livets slut, kan leda till förlängt lidande och förlust av värdighet för patienten. Att genomföra utsiktslös HLR kan även le
