We present a general technique for efficient computation of second order information for optimization functionals involving many variables of different nature, frequently appearing in modern applications. This technique relies on the bilinear Hessian, and while the main tools for this task have been published elsewhere, we here focus on the problem of how to organize the computations in the multi-

This narrative Review explores the role of hyperinsulinaemia as a potential independent contributor to obesity and cardiometabolic diseases. We argue that scientific discussions about the role of hyperinsulinaemia as a causal factor in these conditions have not sufficiently distinguished between postprandial insulin excursions and chronically elevated basal levels of insulin. We summarize findings

Inflation is not merely a shift in the value of money, it is also involving a redistribution of value. While some groups are severely affected by inflation, others profit from it. So, who bears the costs of inflation: corporations, employees, or consumers? And how is this redistribution taking place, by which devices? This study takes a critical look at a central device used in various markets: th

The promise that AI tools will relieve teachers of tedious tasks and liberate time for more ‘valuable’ work with students has become a dominant narrative. However, the implementation of automated technologies raises questions around how human labour is implicated and situated in these processes. From the perspective of maintenance and repair studies we approach the often-hidden labour that teacher

Detta konstnärliga forskningsprojekt introducerar begreppet flerspråkig tystnad för att beskriva den artificiella enspråkighet som präglar många sammanhang där nationella majoritetsspråk eller engelska dominerar, trots faktisk språklig mångfald. Expositionen tar sin utgångspunkt i utvecklingen och iscensättningen av föreställningen SILENCE (Post Theatre Collective, Helsingfors 2025), där en internThis artistic research project introduces the concept of multilingual silence to describe the artificial monolingualism that characterizes many contexts in which national majority languages or English dominate, despite actual linguistic diversity. The exposition takes as its point of departure the development and staging of the performance SILENCE (Post Theatre Collective, Helsinki 2025), in which

The purpose of this study is to describe and understand how personnel recruiters reason when they select new co-workers to an organisation. A focus is on the implicit thoughts and characteristics the personnel recruiters ascribe to the job-applicant. Another aim is to generate new knowledge in relation to how personnel selection is done in real life. A phenomenological approach is proposed as a w

Following evidence of overpricing in structured products, I develop a comprehensive framework for pricing Equity-linked notes (ELNs). My model, unlike previous research, accounts for both the bank's actual funding costs and counterparty credit risk. I also allow for Asian payoffs in the derivative part — a feature now standard in ELN issuances. Studying a sample of eight ELNs issued by a Swedi

The aim of this study is to investigate why individuals form certain attitudes towards immigration from a perspective of sociotropic concerns. The theory suggests that people form political attitudes based on the consequences for their country as a whole. I add the perspective that sociotropic concerns are based on the social group that is of most importance to the individual, national or not. Pre

Denna uppsats syftar att undersöka hur målsäganden framställs i hovrättens domskäl i mål där åtalet avser våldtäkt, efter införandet av samtyckeslagen år 2018. Genom en kombination av rättsdogmatisk och diskursanalytisk metod analyseras sex hovrättsdomar meddelade under år 2024. Uppsatsen undersöker vilka diskurser som återkommer i beskrivningen av målsäganden och dennes agerande, och hur denna be

Rätten ska obligatoriskt verka för förlikning enligt 42 kap. 17 § Rätte-gångsbalken. Lagtexten saknar i stor del anvisningar för vad det innebär att en domare “verkar” för förlikning. Syftet med uppsatsen är att klargöra rättens skyldigheter och möjligheter i förlikningsverksamheten vid dispo-sitiva tvistemål. Det görs genom att besvara tre delfrågor. Under vilka om-ständigheter ska rätten verka fThe court is under a mandatory obligation to promote settlement according to Chapter 42, Section 17 of Rättegångsbalken. However, the statutory provis ion largely lacks guidance on what it entails for a judge to “promote” settle ment. The purpose of this thesis is to clarify the court’s duties and discret ionary powers in settlement efforts within dispositive civil cases. This is done by address
