The phenomenon, in which algorithms preselect information, can be observed in most as-pects of our everyday life. More and more decisions are left to computational processes without human intrusion. This development raises concerns about ‘algorithmic power’ and human agency within an ever more digitalized world. While much of the research around algorithms is committed to their technical understa

Labour market integration of migrants is key for inclusive societies. Employment protection Legislation (EPL) provides the institutional foundations to facilitate such integration. While the effect of EPL on migrant’s employment is well studied, migrant’s in-work poverty has been relatively overlooked by the academic literature.

Introduction In the context of public transportation, just as in many parts of society, the level of organizational complexity has increased over the last twenty years. Due to structural reforms and policy adjustments, responsibilities for the public transportation system in Sweden have become increasingly divided between a variety of public and private actors, thus fragmenting the organizational

Resilience is a contemporary ‘hot topic’ in aviation - as well as in many other safety critical industries. The need for understanding resilience has been recognised since it has been noted that serious incidents and accidents are often related to very complex and unexpected situations and failures that cannot be managed with compliance, or which are not covered by existing procedures or checklist

One of the most urgent challenges in African economic development is to devise a strategy for improving statistical capacity. Reliable statistics, including estimates of economic growth rates and per-capita income, are basic to the operation of governments in developing countries and vital to nongovernmental organizations and other entities that provide financial aid to them. Rich countries and in

The series of ternary polar intermetalllcs Eu(Zn 1-x Ge x ) 2 0≤x≤ 1) has been investigated and characterized by powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction as well as physical property measurements. For 0.50(2)

Given the extent and urgency of many sustainability challenges it is crucial that individuals change their behaviour to steer society towards a more sustainable future. Yet, a variety of barriers exist that hinder sufficient individual pro-environmental behaviour. As it is not only important to understand these barriers but also how to facilitate more pro-environmental behaviour, my research aim i
