In this article, we introduce and demonstrate the concept-metaphor of broken data. In doing so, we advance critical discussions of digital data by accounting for how data might be in processes of decay, making, repair, re-making and growth, which are inextricable from the ongoing forms of creativity that stem from everyday contingencies and improvisatory human activity. We build and demonstrate ouIn this article, we introduce and demonstrate the concept-metaphor of broken data.

Eutrofiering det oönskade fenomenet av hög näringstillförsel i ett akvatiskt system, är för det mesta ett resultat av mänsklig påverkan: industriellt och urbant avloppsvatten, avrinning av gödningsmedel från odlad mark, och förbränning av fossila bränslen. Studien av de främsta faktorerna som bidrar till eutrofiering (t. ex. variationer i kvävets kretslopp), är viktigt för förståelsen av dess negaEutrophication, the undesired phenomenon of high nutrient loads in an aquatic system, is mostly caused by human impact: industrial and urban waste water discharge, run-off of fertilizers from agricultural use, and combustion of fuels. The study of eutrophications' main participants such as the nitrogen cycle, are necessary to prevent it. Environmental parameters have an impact onto the effecti

Until recently studies regarding the pathological aspects of refugee experiences have led the psychology field of forced migration, giving little space to positive factors like the resilience and well-being of individuals faced with these adversities. This doctoral thesis emphasizes good health rather than disease and aims at deepening the understanding of resilience and health as opposed to the d

This thesis analyses structural changes and the role of technology in the Swedish economy since the 1970s. With the attention directed towards interdependencies between sectors, a vertical perspective is applied on the economy. This contrats to the most often used horizontal perspective, in which individual sectors, such as manufacturing and services, are studied in isolation. With an integration

Finding a suitable way to represent information in a dataset is one of the fundamental problems in Artificial Intelligence. With limited labeled information, unsupervised learning algorithms help to discover useful representations. One of the applications of such models is imputation, where missing values are estimated by learning the underlying correlations in a dataset. This thesis explores two

Energy efficiency is a priority goal and an important part of the transformation to a more sustainable society. The industrial sector is an important actor in this setting. In this chapter we outline the major principles for energy efficiency and energy management in industry and discuss how to develop the energy management perspective with theories from social science focusing on how situated act

The first chapter investigates the relationship between economic media sentiment and individuals’ expectations and perceptions about economic conditions. We test if economic media sentiment Granger-causes individuals’ expectations and opinions concerning economic conditions, controlling for macroeconomic variables. We develop a measure of economic media sentiment using a supervised machine learninThe first chapter investigates the relationship between economic media sentiment and individuals’ expectations and perceptions about economic conditions.
