Now, it’s time to decide, or shou

Kravet på kunskap eller medvetenhet om prostitutionen har visat sig vara centralt för att fastställa straffrättsligt ansvar, men tolkningen av vad som utgör ett främjande varierar mellan olika fall.

The aim of this study was therefore to explore if social workers assess cases differently and what arguments they use in situation
I denna uppsats ger jag en inblick i hur bibliotekarier på folkbibliotek uppfattar, förstår och interagerar med algoritmer och AI i relation till sitt yrke.
