This paper discusses the concept of ‘precarious employment’ in relation to the Swedish shipbuilding industry in the 1960s and 1970s. In this setting, characterized by shortage of labour, a dual labour market structure emerged, where some workers were directly employed by the shipyards and others indirectly employed through intermediaries. The case differs from classical accounts of dual labour mar

The article is an attempt to identify some common themes in a body of work while at the same time regarding Sweden as especially conducive to pessimism regarding the decline in the moral economy of the world. Ever since the collapse of the Soviet Union and the newfound independence of the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, Swedish filmmakers have repeatedly crossed the Baltic in searc

The aim of this master´s thesis is to identify the implied problem behind the activation policy jobb- och utvecklingsgarantin as well as uncover the discourses that make this problem thinkable. The thesis relies on an understanding that policies imply an understanding of a problem that needs to be solved. According to this thesis theoretical approach, the understanding of a problem doesn’t reflect

I denna uppsats analyseras huruvida den nicaraguanska regeringen har brustit i sina internationella folkrättsliga åtaganden om rätten till liv genom sitt handlande/icke-handlande under de allmänna protester som tagit plats i landet under 2018. Protesterna startade den 18 april 2018 som en reaktion på nedskärningar i socialförsäkringssystemet och eskalerade senare varefter några hundra civila demon

We explore how people and technology interact in different environments and organizations – and what this means for the design of technological solutions and ways of working. We focus on understanding how people interact with and are affected by their surroundings. These environments range from technical products and systems to the physical space and relationships with other people. We use our kno

This dissertation deals with discrimination of part-time and fixed-term workers. The EU directives on part-time and fixed-term work, as well as Swedish law in the same area, are the starting point of the analysis. The aim is to offer a reading of discrimination law as an instrument for freedom from subordination. Inspiration is found in critical legal positivism’s idea of the autonomous individual

Reducing poverty and social exclusion is one of the main challenges for ensuring social cohesion in Europe. The research project COPE – Combating Poverty in Europe: Re-organising Active Inclusion through Participatory and Integrated Modes of Multilevel Governance’ – analyses trends of poverty and social exclusion in Europe, and examines the dynamics of minimum income protection policies that poten

The exponential growth of Big Data, the Internet of Things (IoT), and Large Language Models (LLMs) has significantly increased the computational and energy demands of modern computing systems. In response, research has increasingly focused on alternative machine learning paradigms and hardware architectures that reduce model complexity and computational load. One such paradigm is the Kolmogorov-Ar
