Governing the automated welfare state: Translations between AI ethics and anti-discrimination regulation

There is an increased demand for utilizing technological possibilities in the Nordic public sector. Automated decision-making (ADM) has been deployed in some areas towards that end. While it is linked to several benefits, research shows that the use of ADM, with elements of AI, also implicates risks of discrimination and unfair treatment, which has stimulated a flurry of normative guidelines. This

England’s Book of Shame: The Slave Bible : A Preface

The recent past has witnessed a rising interest in examining the cultural, economic, and social implications of colonialism and especially of trans-Atlantic slavery. As a result, many academic institutions have been sanctioning research projects to ascertain their own and certain historical figures’ roles in trans-Atlantic slavery. Whilst the research undertaken is very pertinent in understanding

Development and initial validation of a yes/no vocabulary test for North Sámi : Drawing on item response theory and signal detection theory

This paper accounts for the development and initial validation of a yes/no vocabulary test of North Sámi called North Sámi Vocabulary Test (NSVT). North Sámi (NS) is an Indigenous language spoken in northern Scandinavia. Being an endangered language, NS is in need of revitalisation efforts. One contribution is the provision of proficiency assessment tools. We administered a 75-item NSVT version (5

On cyclicity in de Branges-Rovnyak spaces

We study the problem of characterizing the cyclic vec-tors in de Branges-Rovnyak spaces. Based on a description of theinvariant subspaces we show that the difficulty lies entirely in un-derstanding the subspace (aH2)⊥ and give a complete function the-oretic description of the cyclic vectors in the case dim(aH2)⊥ < ∞.Incidentally, this implies analogous results for certain generalizedDirichlet spac

Allt kan bli aktiverat och skapande liv : Öyvind Fahlströms processuella estetik

Poeten och konstnären Öyvind Fahlström (1928–1976) är en av ytterst fåinternationellt kända svenska konstnärer under 1900-talet. När han och hansfru, bildkonstnären Barbro Östlihn, flyttade till New York 1961 kom de attbli en naturlig del av det framväxande neoavantgardet, och Fahlström erövrade omedelbart en central position i rörelsen tillsammans med framträdande konstnärer som Robert Rauschenbe

Feebly-interacting particles : FIPs 2022 Workshop Report

Particle physics today faces the challenge of explaining the mystery of dark matter, the origin of matter over anti-matter in the Universe, the origin of the neutrino masses, the apparent fine-tuning of the electro-weak scale, and many other aspects of fundamental physics. Perhaps the most striking frontier to emerge in the search for answers involves new physics at mass scales comparable to famil

The consolidated European synthesis of CO2 emissions and removals for the European Union and United Kingdom : 1990-2020

Quantification of land surface-atmosphere fluxes of carbon dioxide (CO2) and their trends and uncertainties is essential for monitoring progress of the EU27+UK bloc as it strives to meet ambitious targets determined by both international agreements and internal regulation. This study provides a consolidated synthesis of fossil sources (CO2 fossil) and natural (including formally managed ecosystems

Exploring Attitudes Toward “Sugar Relationships” Across 87 Countries : A Global Perspective on Exchanges of Resources for Sex and Companionship

The current study investigates attitudes toward one form of sex for resources: the so-called sugar relationships, which often involve exchanges of resources for sex and/or companionship. The present study examined associations among attitudes toward sugar relationships and relevant variables (e.g., sex, sociosexuality, gender inequality, parasitic exposure) in 69,924 participants across 87 countri

Are JAKis more effective among elderly patients with RA, smokers and those with higher cardiovascular risk? A comparative effectiveness study of b/tsDMARDs in Sweden

OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether the relative effectiveness of janus kinase inhibitors (JAKis) versus tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) or other biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs in rheumatoid arthritis differ by the presence or absence of risk factors for cardiovascular (CV) disease, age, sex and smoking. METHODS: Through Swedish registers, we identified 13 493 individuals

Josephson Junction π-0 Transition Induced by Orbital Hybridization in a Double Quantum Dot

In this Letter, we manipulate the phase shift of a Josephson junction using a parallel double quantum dot (QD). By employing a superconducting quantum interference device, we determine how orbital hybridization and detuning affect the current-phase relation in the Coulomb blockade regime. For weak hybridization between the QDs, we find π junction characteristics if at least one QD has an unpaired

Platforms for Creative Work

This chapter takes an interest in the world of platforms for creative and cultural work. Platforms for creative and cultural work started to become popular in the late 20th century, and their popularity has grown rapidly over the years. Taking its point of departure from these platforms, this chapter aims to shed light upon and discuss the work of the professionals who handle and manage these platThis chapter takes an interest in the world of platforms for creative and cultural work.

Higher education institutions as a microcosm of the circular economy

Higher education institutions (HEIs) can play a key role in the transition to the circular economy (CE) given their missions, characteristics and role in shaping the coming generations of citizens and leaders. The aim of this paper is to provide a comprehensive examination of HEIs as microcosms for transitioning to circular models. Through a semi-systematic literature review, it focuses on the sys

Women Inventors: : On the Origins of the Gender Patenting Gap

The gender patenting gap is well-established and is wide. Despite important progress made over the past decades, the gap remains. Why are women underrepresented in patenting activities? What are the roots of the gender patenting gap? How did the gap evolve since the ‘modern’ patenting system was established? Our knowledge of women’s contribution to innovative activities in the past is extremely sc
