Statistik visar att diskriminering på arbetsplatser och på arbetsmarknaden är ett vanligt förekommande fenomen. HR-yrket präglas av låg representation av personer födda utanför Norden och är dessutom starkt kvinnodominerat. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur HR-professionella med etnisk minoritetsstatus, i kombination med andra identitetsaspekter, upplever och hanterar utmaningar i sitt

The concept of a socially sustainable society is linked to the notion of equal access to high-quality welfare services and an equitable distribution of common resources. The rationale behind the introduction of private actors to provide welfare services is that greater choice will result in higher quality of service for individuals, achieved through a co-creation process. The purpose of this study

Attachment avoidance is associated with deactivation of the attachment system when distressed, and disengagement from distressing information to maintain felt security. This study investigated how experimentally induced priming to enhance felt security might influence avoidant strategies at an attentional level. In a randomized, mixed design (N=104), we assessed attentional vigilance/disengagement

Echoes of Empire: Nationalism and Identity in the Late Ottoman Era (1898-1918) delves into the complex and transformative period of the late Ottoman Empire, exploring the rise of nationalistic movements that reshaped its multi-ethnic landscape. This book provides a detailed examination of the various national identities that emerged - with a special focus on Kurdish nationalism - their struggles f

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) often leads to impaired regulation of cerebral blood flow, which may be caused by pathological changes of the vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) in the arterial wall. Moreover, these cerebrovascular changes may contribute to the development of various neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s-like pathologies that include amyloid beta aggregation. Despite its i

How is practical change work carried out in modern organizations? And what kind of challenges, tasks and other difficulties are normally encountered? In a turbulent and changing world, organizational culture is often seen as central for sustained competitiveness. Organizations are faced with increased demands for change but these are often so challenging that they meet heavy resistance and fizzle

The immune cell component of the tumor microenvironment is an important modulator of tumor progression. In patients with breast cancer, tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) represent core aspects of anti-tumor immunity, both increasingly recognized for clinical relevance. In this study, we evaluated immune-related histology features using whole slide H&E

This chapter explores the interaction between competition law and especially Article 101(3) TFEU and environmental and climate change goals in the context of the EU’s Green Deal and the aim of energy transition. First, it reviews the evolution of the Commission’s and national authorities’ approaches to environmental and climate benefits in their general assessment of horizontal and vertical agreem

Fracture-mechanics-based avalanche failure modeling offers a promising approach for predicting slope-specific snow stability, as opposed to broader regional avalanche danger levels. Understanding slab avalanche failure through weak layer collapse, governed by both material strength and toughness, is rooted in the coupled criterion proposed by Leguillion. This thesis implements a novel algorithm to

This project was completed in collaboration with the graph database company Neo4j with the aim of developing a new algorithm for automatic detection of software bugs that degrade system performance, commonly referred to as performance regressions in the industry. Due to the large number of benchmarks used to monitor different aspects of the product environment, a flexible and robust solution was n

Drawing on modelling of age at death in skeletal remains, this article unveils hitherto unrecognized demographic patterns in the Nordic Corded Ware complex. This population formed part of the European Corded Ware complex that has been linked to disruption observed in the archaeological and genetic record. The newly developed methods of transition analysis 3 (TA3) and death rate ratio (DRR) were usDrawing on modelling of age at death in skeletal remains, this article unveils hitherto unrecognized demographic patterns in the Nordic Corded Ware complex.

In this article, we discuss operationalizations and examples of experimental design in eye-tracking research. First, we distinguish direct operationalization for entities like saccades, which are closely aligned with their original concepts, and indirect operationalization for concepts not directly measurable, such as attention or mind-wandering. The latter relies on selecting a measurable proxy.

The increase in electric vehicles has led to more vehicles of this kind being involved in accidents. Since there is a risk of a delayed initiation of thermal runaway in these cases, many countries have recommendations for safety distances from crashed vehicles to buildings. This report is a part of the effort to develop similar guidance for Sweden, which was initiated by the Swedish Civil ContingeThe increase in electric vehicles has led to more vehicles of this kind being involved in accidents.

The chemical industry is particularly resource-intensive, consuming a substantial portion of petroleum resources and significantly contributing to greenhouse gas emissions. Consequently, there is an urgent need to explore sustainable alternatives. Biomass has emerged as a promising renewable resource. The dehydration of biomass-derived carbohydrates has proven to be an effective method, producing

We reconcile dense and sparse modelling by exploiting the positive aspects of both. We employ a high-dimensional, approximate static factor model and assume the idiosyncratic term follows a sparse vector autoregressive model (VAR). The estimation is articulated in two steps: (i) factors and loadings are estimated via principal component analysis (PCA); (ii) a sparse VAR is estimated via the lasso
