Framväxten av digitala plattformar håller för närvarande på att förändra hur kulturarbete förmedlas och utförs. Trots detta finns det en brist på forskning, inte minst i en svensk kontext, som studerar kulturarbete som ett typexempel på det som kommit att kallas gigarbete. Den här avhandlingen analyserar frilansande kulturarbetares erfarenheter av att navigera den digitala plattformsekonomin för aCultural industries are currently being transformed by processes of platformization and precarization. Despite being among the sectors where platformization has already had the most pronounced effects, there remains a lack of research on cultural work as a prototypical example of so-called gig work. This dissertation analyzes the working experiences of what I call digital freelancers — solo self-e

A Credit Default Swap spread is a reliable measure of credit risk as it is the compensation demanded by a party to bear this risk. Officially, credit risk is denoted as credit ratings announced by credit rating agencies.

Våren 2015 spenderade jag som praktikant på kulturfövaltningen i Malmö stad. Under min tid där skrev jag en rapport som handlade om hur organisationer som beviljats verksamhetsstöd inför 2015 arbetade med jämställdhet. Anledningen till att jag skrev rapporten var att kulturstödsenheten året innan hade instiftat nya mål kring att organisationerna nu var tvungna att beskriva hur de jobbade med jämst

The energy demand of the world continues to increase, while world's resources are exploited over its capacity. One way of facing these demands is to extend the use of fuel cells. A fuel cell converts chemical energy into electrical energy through a series of chemical and electrochemical reactions. A solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is unique since it only contains solid materials and the cell has

Användandet av digitala kommunikationskanaler blir allt vanligare.

Recent cases of bias among lay judges at criminal trials as well as the Sweden Democrats' entry into the parliament in 2010, which gave them an increased number of mandate among the lay judges, characterizes the debate to a large extent. The following study is based on the debate and whether the lay judge system maintains its origi

Makes arvsrätt infördes i Sverige år 1988 i samband med en större reform på både äktenskapsrättens och arvsrättens område. Den tidigare arvsrättens utformning ansågs vara grundad på en föråldrad syn på både familjen och samhället, och det var dags för en förnyelse. Den efterlevande makens skydd stärktes på de gemensamma bröstarvingarnas bekostnad, men särkullbarnen fick dock behålla sin förtur tilIn 1988, the surviving spouse received the right to inherit before the direct heirs in Sweden. The amendment was part of a larger reformation in the area of inheritance and matrimonial law. The previous formulation of the law was considered to be based on outdated views on society and family, and the time was right for a transformation. The financial security of the spouse was fortified at the exp

The public health agency of Sweden has shown an increasing prevalence of mental illness among college students. At the same time studies show that students choose to not seek any help, and often don’t know where they would even find the help they might need. The aim of this study was therefore to map the prevalence of mental illness among students of Social Work at Campus Helsingborg, and examine

Syftet med denna uppsats är att bidra till ökad kunskap kring relationen mellan distansarbete och idégenerering. Genom att belysa distansarbetets möjliga effekter på idégenerering i startups hoppas vi kunna bättre förstå hur arbete på distans påverkar idégenerering i innovativa organisationer. Studien är utformad som en kvalitativ fallstudie där den empiriska datan samlades in genom semistrukturer

På senare tid har det i vissa länder diskuterats om så kallade sexuella vilseledanden ska anses utgöra våldtäkt. I Sverige har diskussionen varit mycket begränsad. Arbetets syfte är att redogöra för huruvida fall av sexuella vilseledanden betraktas i svensk rätt. Fokus ligger på förhållandet mellan skyddsintresse och straffbar gärning. Inledningsvis redogörs allmänt för vad som avses med skyddsintLately in some countries, there have been discussions about whether cases of so-called rape by deception should constitute a punishable rape offence.

Klimatkompensation genom skogsplantering i Globala Syd har blivit ett allt mer vanligt sätt för företag att åtgärda sina växthusgasutsläpp, och därigenom sälja produkter och tjänster med netto noll utsläpp. I Sverige går snabbmatsrestaurangen MAX Burgers AB ett steg längre. De kompenserar 10 % mer än vad de släpper ut genom carbon dioxide removal (CDR), och hävdar därför att de har en "klimatCarbon offsetting through forest sequestration in the Global South has become an increasingly common way for companies to mitigate their greenhouse gas emissions and thereby sell products and services with net zero emissions. In Sweden, fast food company MAX Burgers AB goes even further. They offset 10 % more than what they emit through carbon dioxide removal (CDR), thus claiming to have a “climat

Vattenmolekylers rörelse: ett mått på små förändringar i hjärnan Visste du att bättre förståelse för nätverket av nervtrådar i hjärnan kan uppnås genom att mäta vattenmolekylernas rörelse? I denna studie användes detta för att undersöka om det finns förändringar i hjärnan hos personer med den autoimmuna sjukdomen SLE. Hur kan vattenmolekylers rörelse användas för att förstå hjärnans uppbyggnad? Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, SLE, is a disease with a large variation of symptoms. Some patients have neuropsychiatric symptoms, such as cognitive dysfunction and epilepsy. The classification of patients into NPSLE, with neuropsychiatric symptoms, and non-NPSLE, without these symptoms, is uncertain. Studying the white matter microstructure of SLE patients and comparing this with healthy controls

Kapaciteten är ett ständigt återkommande problem på den svenska järnvägen och allt fler resenärer har börjat välja tåg som färdmedel, detta medför att kapacitetsproblemet bara kommer öka. Kollektivresandet i Sverige har under det senaste decenniet ökat markant och det är främst resandet på järnväg som ökat. Denna ökning har även påverkat Skåne där pendling till arbete och utbildning idag har bliviCapacity is a constant problem on the Swedish railway. More and more travellers have begun to choose trains as a mean of transport due to the low environmental impact and its convenient way of transport. Public transport in Sweden has increased significantly in the last decade, and it is mainly rail travel that has increased. This increase has also affected Skåne, where commuting to work and educa
