The ubiquitous use of artificial intelligence (AI) can bring about both positive and negative consequences for individuals and societies. On the negative side, there is a concern not only about the impact of AI on first-order discrete individual rights (such as the right to privacy, non-discrimination and freedom of opinion and expression) but also about whether the human rights framework is fit f

Few recent developments have captured the human imagination as much as those within the field of artificial intelligence (AI). The increasing pervasiveness and ubiquity of AI affect both individual lives and society at large. Yet the human rights concerns raised in connection to AI have primarily concentrated around infringements of enumerated discrete rights, such as to privacy, non-discriminatio

The ubiquitous deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies affects an array of human rights, raising concerns around issues of discrimination, privacy, freedom of expression, information and data protection. However, just as regulators and policy-makers call for technological design to respect existing human rights, others debate whether human rights are robust enough to counter new ch

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a heterogenous inflammatory joint disease and the most commonrheumatic disease in children. Oligoarticular JIA (oJIA) is the major subgroup, which mainly affects fewand large joints, such as the knee. The immunological processes and key players driving inflammationwithin the affected joints are not well characterised. Research has primarily focused on adaptiv

This paper discussed construction industry’s ongoing battle with gender equality. Growing awareness of social sustainability responsibility has led to the mounting importance of human resources in the organisations. One perspective involves the focus on gender equality. Today women’s participation in the construction industry is still low except in times of acute labour shortages. This disproporti

“Urban Sharing in Seoul” explores the landscape of the sharing economy in the city context and is a result of a Mobile Research Lab conducted by five researchers from Lund University in 2022. The focus is on three sectors: space sharing, mobility sharing, and sharing of household goods. For each sector, drivers and barriers to the sharing economy are explored, associated sustainability impacts and

In this chapter, we explore how the institutionalization of the sharing economy takes place in cities by applying the framework of institutional work to SEOs (Zvolska et al. 2019) and city governments. Both large and small, for-profit and non-profit sharing organizations are included in this study. Our intention is to contribute to research on the sharing economy by retooling conceptualizations of

Visual routines theory posits that vision is critical for guiding sequential actions in the world. Most studies on the link between vision and sequential action have considered individual agents, while substantial human behaviour is characterized by multi-party interaction. Here, the actions of each person may affect what the other can subsequently do. We investigated task execution and gaze alloc

This chapter focuses on contemporary urban food sharing beyond the everyday experiences of eating together with friends and family. Such food sharing is increasingly facilitated by smart, digital technologies (ICT for brevity) from Apps and platforms to websites and social media, that offer new ways to grow, cook, and eat together as well as exchange food with others. The chapter begins by mapping

Share and repair organizations (SROs) have important implications for resource efficiency and socio-economic sustainability in cities, but their potential to contribute to long-term urban resilience has yet to be systematically investigated. Knowledge is scarce about how these nascent circular initiatives can provide building blocks for socio-economic recovery in the wake of recent crises such as

Several research studies have shown the importance of physical exercise. The global gym and fitness industry faced a transition from traditional gyms to virtual fitness training during the pandemic lockdowns. A proliferation of applications is available to provide different digital gym experiences. Advagym is one example that uses sensors to track and give feedback to gym goers. Sony's R&D Cen
