Predicting the next visited location of an individual is a key problem in human mobility analysis, as it is required for the personalization and optimization of sustainable transport options. Here, we propose a transformer decoder-based neural network to predict the next location an individual will visit based on historical locations, time, and travel modes, which are behaviour dimensions often ov
Many studies have been, and are currently, conducted on how virtual agents should be designed and used for training and learning. In this paper we address the question of how such agents are introduced to users in systems and classroom settings, and the possible effect that have on how they are perceived, and the reactions and behavior that they invoke. We specifically investigated a system where
People-centered, whole-of-society, and gender-sensitive approaches are increasingly recognized in disaster risk reduction. In contrast, consideration of LGBTIQA+ communities and their experiences in disaster settings still has not been globally mainstreamed and integrated into the existing disaster risk management policies.

Previous scholarship has viewed the productive activities of fans—otherwise known as fan labor—as a means to successfully permeate an otherwise cluttered social media environment. The following study challenges as well as problematizes these existing assumptions by exploring: (i) fan perceptions of the ‘work’ they perform; and (ii) the distinct forms the performed ‘work’ assume, specifically in re

This thesis contributes to the discussion by offering a cultural analysis of car safety. The
Ska vi byta grejer med varann? Varför delar unga vuxna saker med andra istället för att köpa själva? Jo, det är praktiskt, ekonomiskt och ett steg på vägen mot en bättre värld! Att dela, byta och låna saker såsom böcker, cyklar och verktyg upplevs ha relativt hög miljömässig potential, kunna skapa social sammanhållning och leda till nya sätt att se på konsumtion och privat ägarskap. När unga vuCollaborative consumption – i.e. sharing, renting, trading and swapping things instead of owning them – has in previous years emerged as an alternative consumption mode, assumed by many to be less resource demanding and more sustainable than current consumption patterns. It is suggested that younger adults have more positive attitudes towards collaborative consumption than older age cohorts. Howev
Tunisia is where all hope and rebellion started. After the self-immolation of Mohamed Bouazizi in 2010, the Jasmine Revolution spread to other Arab countries leading to the famous Arab Spring.

This paper describes one possible method for using subject pools other than undergraduate students. We also report the results from an experiment in which 145 subjects belonging to a specific church in Dar-es-Salaam, Tanzania were exposed to a Trust Game and a standard set of attitudinal survey questions in order to study trust and trustworthiness, two concepts that are likely to be at the core of
This article examines the question of trust in Bosnia and Herzegovina with a special focus on the role of ethnicity. We find generalised trust to be low and declining in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
