The growing emphasis on affordable housing and the sharp increase in its supply in Indian cities over the past two decades is characterised by two features that diminish the inclusive and integrative role of affordable urban housing. The first is the move toward constructing new housing stock rather than upgrading existing stock. Second, most of this new housing, increasingly in the form of multi-

This paper addresses an important, but under-studied, pathway for knowledge production in the field of urban planning: the practitioner engaging with academia through the writing of a PhD.

De tidigaste bevarade svensk-norska dokumenten om Lappmarken skrevs på 1300-talet, och därefter finns ett växande historiskt källmaterial som förser med en relativt tydlig bild av samernas rättigheter genom tiderna. Statens intressen förändrades med industrialiseringens framväxt, och avvittringen av Lappmarkerna påbörjades. Samiska försörjningssätt urholkades av staten under 1880-talet, och LappmaThe Sámi people's legal history can be found in written documents dating back as far as the 14th century.

Utvecklingen av artificiell intelligens har fört med sig betydande utveckling inom flera fält, men även stora utmaningar. En av dessa utmaningar visar sig i uppkomsten av så kallade deepfakes, det vill säga realistiska men fabricerade bilder eller videos som genererats med hjälp av artificiell intelligens. Majorite-ten av alla deepfakes är idag av sexuell natur och de flesta avbildar kvinnor utan The development of artificial intelligence has led to significant advancements across various fields but is has also introduced considerable challenges. One such challenge is the emergence of so-called deepfakes, which are realistic, yet fabricated images or videos generated by artificial intelligence. A large propor-tion of deepfakes today are sexual in nature, most of which depict women without

Sverige var under flera år ett av få länder i Norden som inte hade någon möjlighet att garantera ett vittne anonymitet under rättsprocessen. Den 1 januari 2025 trädde emellertid den omdebatterade lagen (2024:1180) om anonyma vittnen i brottmål i kraft. Genom lagen infördes ett system som innebär att ett vittne under vissa förutsättningar kan höras anonymt under en förundersökning och rättegång i bFor several years, Sweden was one of the few countries in the Nordic region that had no way of guaranteeing a witness anonymity during a legal process.
