Människor präglas av omedveten bias, vilket kan vara ogynnsamt i rekrytering för att de bäst lämpade kandidaterna kan väljas bort på andra grunder än deras kompetens. Således har det blivit allt mer förekommande att företag använder AI för att göra objektiva bedömningar. Däremot har det visat sig att AI kan resultera i motsvarande problematik med bias som vid traditionell rekrytering. Sådan proble
Dominant understandings of sexual consent are understood through a heteronormative and dichotomous lens: masculine/active/initiating sexual activity against feminine/passive/responding to sexual activity. Thus, to what extent do sexualities beyond heterosexuality challenge and disrupt this dichotomous framework? To what extent can these sexualities form alternative ways and practises of negotiatin
Infotainment har under de senaste åren blivit ett allt större område inom informations- och kommunikationsteknik. De största användningsområdena för begreppet är inom bilindustri och kollektivtrafik, varav det förstnämnda är ett område som studerats i stor utsträckning av interaktionsdesigners och forskare. Eftersom infotainmentsystem i bilar bygger på en hög grad av interaktion mellan förare och
Trafiksituationen vid korsningen Carl Krooks gatan – Furutorpsgatan i Helsingborg är komplicerad på grund av den svängande huvudleden och det stora flödet av trafikanter. Den svängande huvudleden har fått mycket kritik eftersom det är ett stort flöde av oskyddade trafikanter som måste korsa gatan som saknar övergångsställe. Syftet med studien är att undersöka trafikanters beteende vid interaktion The traffic situation at the intersection Carl Krooks gatan - Furutorpsgatan in Helsingborg is complicated due to the turning main road and the large flow of road-users. The turning main road has received a lot of criticism because there is a large flow of unprotected road-users who have to cross the street without a pedestrian crossing.

Företag har historiskt sett spenderat stora summor på att förvärva ERP-system till verksamheten. En del företag ser även ett värde i att komplettera med IT-stöd för CRM. Att det finns flera skäl till att vissa företag investerar i ett ensamstående CRM-system istället för i en integrerad modul i ERP-system har bekräftats av tidigare forskning. Att däremot avstå från att integrera CRM-och ERP-system
During the Secret War in Laos, 1964-1973, the United States dropped approximately 2 million tons of bombs in Laos. However, 30% of the employed bombs failed to detonate. It is estimated that 78 million unexploded ordance (UXO) still contaminate the land of Laos. This paper therefore aims to explore how UXO affect the possibilities for the rural population in Houamoung district to attain a sustaina
Sub-Saharan migration towards Europe is an increasing concern amongst politicians and citizens in Europe. While migration to Europe across the Mediterranean generally has decreased since 2015, the number of people transiting through Morocco to Europe has increased significantly during these same years.

This paper analyses the driving factors of youth- and adult unemployment in the OECD-countries during the 21st century. Focus is on both macroeconomic shock variables, such as the GDP-gap, the real interest rate and total factor productivity-growth, and institutional variables, such as union density, active labour market policies, the tax wedge, the replacement rate and the share of temporary empl
The present study is grounded upon the traditional concepts of cohesion and differentiation in fashion by Simmel (1904) and Bourdieu (1984). The study reviewed these concepts in the social context of sustainable fashion consumption, with consideration of identity construction and expression. Furthermore, the study looked at the literature on certification labels and their value for consumers. Due
Artificial Intelligence is a term which recently has gained increased traction both within academia and business context. The availability and accessibility of AI is increasing, the forecasted AI-market growth is exponential and the expectations of the technology is simultaneously at its peak. Yet, many organizations seem to lack a clear rationale and strategy when adopting AI, which has been prov
In the recent years, cryptocurrencies have gained popularity and have experienced high price volatility. This essay pretends to examine how the multivariate GARCH models predict the volatility of these digital currencies and what implications exist if we consider the correlations among them to forecast their volatility. Using a bivariate Diagonal VECH and bivariate Diagonal BEKK this thesis checks

Denna studie är baserad på 20 artiklar från tre av Sveriges största nyhetskällor utifrån en kvalitativ innehållsanalys som metodologisk ansats. Syftet med denna studien har varit att undersöka vilka negativa attribut som tillskrivs invandrare i svensk massmedia och huruvida medias framställning av invandrare kan förklaras ur ett sociologiskt perspektiv. I studien har artiklarnas kontext och releva
Användningen av persondata har blivit ett allt vanligare fenomen och utnyttjandet av data spelar en mer central roll i ekonomin. Data är en värdefull resurs men det har blivit svårare för konsumenter att kontrollera hur data om dem samlas in och delas eller säljs vidare. Många aktörer är ofta involverade i datautvinningsprocessen utan att det framgår vilken roll de spelar och till vilket ändamål d
Despite possessing a unique relationship between humankind and the environment, and its occupation of a large proportion of the planet’s surface area, Antarctica is markedly absent from literature produced within the disciplines of human and political ecology. With no states or indigenous peoples, Antarctica is instead governed by a conglomeration of states as part of the Antarctic Treaty System,
Vidhäftning är ett fenomen som naturligt uppstår i livsmedelsindustrin. Fenomenet uppstår främst då livsmedelsprodukter klibbar sig fast och fäster till ytor i processutrustning. I flera fall kan vidhäftning vara till god nytta till exempel som en sensorisk aspekt, men i livsmedelsindustrin kan fenomenet utgöra en nackdel. Tetra Pak har i ett projekt tillsammans med Lunds Tekniska Högskola utveckStickiness of different food products on surfaces can occur naturally during food filling in Tetra Recart form- and seal machines. The aim of this thesis was to develop a model and an adhesion test method for determining and understanding this stickiness. More specifically for the food products whole peeled tomatoes, sliced mushrooms, mandarin chops and peach halves on stainless-steel. Additionall
