Vad krävs för att människor ska säga att en individ har utsatts för diskriminering? Tidigare forskning har framhävt främst två sätt att förklara vad som påverkar människor när de säger att diskriminering skett. Dessa är att människor baserar sin attribution på sin förförståelse om situationen och de som drabbas s.k. prototyper (“kvinnor har historiskt sett blivit mer diskriminerade”), samt att mänWhat is required for people to say that an individual has been discriminated against? Previous research has primarily focused on two ways of explaining what factors are at play when someone says discrimination has occurred. These claim that people base their attribution on their perceptions about the situation and victim, so called prototypes ("women have historically been more discriminated

Do Russian Melitaea butterflies contain the symbiotic bacteria Wolbachia? Background Up to 60 percent of insect species in the world are infected with the intracellular, obligate symbiont called Wolbachia pipientis, making it one of the most common arthropod endosymbionts, and potentially one of the most successful organisms on Earth. The bacterium affects its host species in negative and/or posi

Genetic variation in an immune defense gene The immune system is one of the barriers to the external world, and the multiple types of microbes that could be dangerous to our health. In the part of our immune system that we normally call the innate immune system, we have different sensors for these various types of microbes. The sensors are found inside some of the cells of mammals or on the surfa

The aim of this study was to investigate how social workers look at the boundaries between their private sphere and working hours. Furthermore, it is intended to study how social workers look at work-related situations that may occur in their leisure time and how they handle them. The selection of respondents consisted of social workers who had a social education and had a regular professional con

Abstract The Swedish agricultural organisation, LRF, stands in front of many changes and the work with the changes in the organisation has caused some conflicts at the top.

The Eurocentric explanations see the expansion of Europe as caused by its inner qualities such as: environment, state-system,

Action games are controversial and discussed, at the same time they fascinate players all over the world. One way to find out what this attraction is about is to use eye tracking to explore them. This method can show explicit eye gaze direction within the game environment and at the same time point out what the mind determine as important in the different interactions in an action game tutorial.

Expatriater är viktiga men också dyra tillgångar i multinationella företag. Expatriering innebär en stor utmaning i form av ett nytt arbete i ett nytt land, allt inbäddat i en ny kultur, ofta med ett främmande språk, vilket kräver nya sätt att hantera tillvaron. Då de flesta expatriater har familj, gäller det i högsta grad även den medföljande. Genom en kvalitativ studie med fenomenologiskt angrepExpatriates are important but also expensive assets in multinational companies. A new employment and a new country, all embedded in a new culture, often with a foreign language, makes expatriation a big challenge. This also highly affects accompanying partners, since most expatriates bring their families on the assignment. The process of expatriation was examined by a qualitative study with a phen

Studiens fokus ligger i att undersöka unga kvinnors medvetenhet kring användningen av deepfakes inom pornografi samt hur unga kvinnor och deras beteende på sociala medier påverkas av fenomenet. Studien utfördes med en kvantitativ metod i form av en webbenkät samt en kvalitativ metod i form av fem intervjuer. Till skillnad från tidigare forskning ämnar studien att förstå kvinnors agerande på socialThe phenomenon deepfake was created in 2017 and has since developed and received a lot of attention, especially in pornography thus the absolute majority of all deepfakes on the internet are of pornographic content, with 90% of those who are exposed to deepfakes are woman. The purpose of this essay is to investigate young women’s awareness of deepfakes as well as how the phenomenon used in porn co

This thesis examines what barriers and opportunities exist for public participation in addressing biodiversity loss and adapting to climate change in Swedish biosphere reserves (BRs). This was approached by conducting an instrumental case study of all seven BRs in Sweden, consisting of semi-structured interviews and a case-specific literature review. The results identified that while a significant

In Northern Swedish, personal proper names are traditionally introduced by a morphologically distinct definite article, most known as the preproprial article (PPA). The use of the article in contemporary Swedish dialects is obscure, as research on the topic is scarce and mainly based on antiquated data. For some dialects, PPAs are occasionally said to be restricted to names of people personally kn

This research paper seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the barriers hindering the integration of sustainability in construction companies, with a focus on understanding both internal and external barriers influencing this transition. Through the analysis of the viewpoints of various stakeholders, such as project managers, frontline employees, and business executives, this paper aims

This bachelor’s thesis explores the ethical challenges associated with the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in municipal social services in the Skåne region of Sweden. As AI technologies are increasingly adopted to improve efficiency and support decision-making, it is important to understand how ethical principles are upheld in practice. The study aimed to identify these challenges and examine

This study investigates the financial effects of the European Union’s Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD), with a particular focus on whether firms’ greenhouse gas emissions influence the financial impact of these regulations. While previous research has examined the impact of ESG disclosures on financial performance, no studies have investigated whether a firm’s environmental risk, as measur

Idag används intelligenstester frekvent i rekryteringssammanhang och då dessa tester har visat sig vara en stark prediktor för framtida arbetsinsats läggs vikt vid dessa när det kommer till olika urvalsprocesser. Av den anledningen är det inte ovanligt att arbetssökande får genomföra ett intelligenstest vid flera tillfällen i sin karriär vilket kan leda till olika resultat vid olika tillfällen. StIntelligence tests are frequently used in recruitment contexts since these tests have shown to be a strong predictor when it comes to future work performance. Therefore, it is not uncommon for job seekers to take these tests on several occasions throughout their careers with scores fluctuating to some degree. The aim of the study was to investigate whether there is an improvement in the performanc

Simulerad patientdata och AI för förbättrad upptäckt av förmaksflimmer År 2030 förväntas upp emot 17 miljoner människor i Europa lida av förmaks-flimmer, en sjukdom med mycket allvarliga konsekvenser. Denna studie utforskar användningen av simulering och maskininlärning för att effektivisera diagnostiseringen, och därigenom potentiellt förebygga uppemot 20% av alla strokes. I Sverige uppskattas Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an arrhythmia distinguished by irregular heartbeats, which has seen a significant rise in prevalence globally. Due to the risk of strokes, the condition necessitates early detection and intervention to prevent severe complications, highlighting the critical role of early and precise detection techniques. To effectively train and validate machine learning (ML) models, ha

The analysis of glacier mass changes in northern Sweden from 2003 to 2023 employed the non-repeat observation method, utilizing data from altimetry data ICESat and ICESat-2, along with Swedish national DEM and RGI v7.0 glacier boundary. The total volume decreased by -2.78 ± 0.58 km³, corresponding to a total mass loss of 10.41 ± 6.60 m w.e. over the past two decades. These changes contribute appro
