In recent years, the issue of algorithmic bias in systems has gradually drawn the European Union’s attention to the relationship between data protection and non-discrimination principles. To detect and mitigate bias in high-risk AI systems, developers often need to process special categories of personal data such as information relating to race, gender or health. However, Article 9 of the GDPR pro
Användningen av artificiell intelligens bland organisationer har blivit en allt mer framträdande del i organisationers externa kommunikation. Samtidigt förknippas AI med både möjligheter och stor osäkerhet, vilket skapar en kommunikations utmaning för organisationer som vill framställa tekniken som innovativ, legitim och pålitlig. Denna studie undersöker hur AI-kommunicerande tjänsteföretag framstThe use of artificial intelligence by organizations has become an increasingly prominent element in organizations' external communication.

The cross-border transfer of personal data has become one of the most contested dimensions of international digital trade law. As the European Union pursues an expanding network of digital trade agreements, a fundamental tension emerges between its constitutional commitment to data protection as a fundamental right and the trade law imperative to facilitate the free movement of data. This thesis e
This thesis examines the growing role of algorithmic and data-driven systems in European Union asylum procedures and explores their implications for legal accountability, procedural fairness, and fundamental rights protection. As migration governance increasingly relies on biometric databases, interoperability frameworks, and automated decision-support systems, questions arise regarding the compat

Studien analyserar även hur mottagarna positioneras som samhälleliga subjekt och hur dessa positioner skiljer sig mellan de två broschyrerna. Med utgångspunkt i ett Foucauldianskt perspektiv på governmental
This Thesis presents the design and investigation of high-frequency fundamental VCO(Voltage controlled oscillator) and injection-locked frequency dividers (ILFDs) for millimeter-wave (mmWave) and sub-terahertz (sub-THz) communication systems. A magnetically tuned voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and magnetically tuned ILFD pair are proposed for sub-THz applications. The 140 GHz fundamental VCO
Inadequate physical activity constitutes one of today's most significant public health challenges in Sweden and is associated with several physical and mental health risks. At the same time, there is growing evidence that highlights how the built environment shapes opportunities for everyday physical activity. Physical planning can therefore work as an important tool to promote public health.
This study examines how medical social workers within the Swedish women’s healthcare system approach psychosocial assessments in cases of late abortion applications. The aim was to explore how professional ideals, role perceptions, and practices are shaped within the field of abortion care and how these factors may affect equal access to care. The study was based on qualitative semi-structured int

The tea sector is one of Kenya's most important industries, with a big impact on the country's economy and socio-economic development. At the same time, tea manufacturing is highly energy-intensive and strongly affected by electricity tariffs and high production costs. Due to the favorable weather conditions and growing renewable energy ambitions in Kenya, Solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems p
Key actions, tactical cooperation, and spatial relationships in sports activities are usually recorded through 2D videos, which limits users’ ability to understand the game in three-dimensional space. Although professional sports events can provide Free-Viewpoint Video using large-scale camera arrays, such systems are difficult to deploy in low-cost scenarios such as community games and personal t
Sveriges utveckling i form av ett mer digitaliserat och elektrifierat samhälle medför en högre belastning på elnätet. Samtidigt är elnätet inte dimensionerad för denna belastning. Nätets kapacitet är direkt kopplat till effektuttag och för att jämna ut och minska höga effekttoppar i nätet beslutades det därför att införa effektavgifter senast den 1 januari 2027. Under tiden arbetet skrevs beslutadSweden’s development towards a more digitalized and electrified society is increasing the load on the electricity grid. At the same time, the grid is not dimensioned for this level of demand. The grid capacity is directly linked to power demand, and to reduce and smooth out high-power peaks, it was decided that demand-based electricity tariffs would be introduced no later than January 1, 2027.

De flesta människor kommer någon gång under sina liv att uppleva en traumatisk händelse, vilket kan öka risken för att utveckla allvarliga psykiatriska tillstånd som exempelvis depression och posttraumatiska stress (PTS) symtom, samt påverka olika aspekter av individens liv och fungerande. En aspekt av livet som många värdesätter högt är föräldraskap och därmed är det viktigt att undersöka hur traMost people will at some point in their lives experience a traumatic event, and for some, this may increase the risk of developing serious psychiatric disorders such as depression and post-traumatic stress (PTS) symptoms and can affect their functioning in many aspects of their lives. One aspect of life that many people value highly is parenting, and it is therefore important to investigate how tr

This thesis investigates how a CHP plant in Swedish electricity area SE3 can improve its profitability by participating in the manual freque
Asymmetrisk flödesfraktionering (AF4) är en separationsteknik som används för att separera större partiklar, såsom lipidnanopartiklar (LNP) eller makromolekylära polymerer. I kombination med småvinkelneutronspridning (SANS) ger detta möjlighet att undersöka partiklarnas inre struktur, istället för att endast mäta partiklarnas allmänna storlek. Att integrera SANS-mätningen som en kontinuerlig mätniAsymmetric flow field flow fractionation (AF4) is a prominent separation technique used to separate larger particles such as lipid nanoparticles or macromolecular polymers. When combined with Small angle neutron scattering (SANS), this provides the possibility to probe the inner structure of the particles, instead of only probing the general size of the particles. However, putting the SANS measure
