Peer-to-peer-plattformar (P2P) använder informations- och kommunikationsteknik (IKT) för att koppla samman konsumenter med tjänsteleverantörer. Tillväxten av P2P har gett upphov till vetenskapliga och offentliga diskussioner om förtroende i den digitala tidsåldern. Förtroende är en förutsättning för samarbete och ordnade sociala relationer. Detta är särskilt viktigt när det gäller uthyrning av turThis thesis investigates how trust is built in the relationships between guests and hosts in digital environments of peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms. The growth of P2P platforms and their use of information and communication technologies have sparked scholarly and public discussions about trust in the digital age. Trust is a social phenomenon essential for cooperation and orderly social relationships

The production team behind the television series Holocaust had a challenging task to find a character who the audience could relate to and try to understand, despite the knowledge that he was deeply involved in the mass executions on the Eastern front. In my paper, I analyse the fictional SS member Erik Dorf (Michael Moriarty). Dorf was based on several people, including the SS officer Otto OhlenThe production team behind the television series Holocaust had a challenging task to find a character who the audience could relate to and try to understand, despite the knowledge that he was deeply involved in the mass executions on the Eastern front.

This is understandable given the rich encyclopedia tradition that characterizes the Scandinavian book market. Among the publications within this tradition, one encyclopedia stands out in particular. By being in print for more than sixty years, Salmonsens Konversationsleksikon had a special impact on the dev

Hunting tourism, broadly defined as travelling to other places other than one´s usual home or work environment for recreational hunting, takes many forms. It can be seen as a form of special interest tourism in the border area between recreation and tourism, and between market and non-market.

Danish lawyers have long positioned themselves as fundamental pillars of the Rechtsstaat, portraying their independence and adherence to professional ideals as central to serving the public good. However, this traditional image has been increasingly challenged by the rise of large law firms taking advantage of deregulation and globalization. This has placed lawyers under a cross-pressure forcing t

High capacity utilization of space in physical distribution, such as high fill rates of vehicles, pallets, and packaging, is essential to decarbonize supply chains. This study provides an integrated view of the extant literature on capacity utilization of space in physical distribution, which is fragmented and multidisciplinary. A systematic literature review was conducted on 212 peer-reviewed sci

This work presents a literature study over how additive manufacturing can be used to improve the performance of windings for traction machines when it comes to materials, loss minimization and thermal management, especially for concentrated windings. It continues to present the additive manufacturing methods most suitable for additively manufacturing windings. The lessons from manufacturing coils

This literature review presents a summary of recent research about PM-less machines for electrical vehicles. Recently, IPM machines has proven to be very popular among electrical vehicle manufacturers. However, the neodymium permanent magnets being used are expensive and have a risk of rocketing the production cost of a machine if the price increases more. With this in mind, five PM-less machine t

The transition of heavy machinery systems in agriculture is becoming increasingly urgent due to evolving regulations, market volatility in fossil fuels, and the imperative to achieve decarbonization objectives in the sector. Agricultural machinery has recently experienced an increase in automation, resulting in a higher implementation of electric actuators and systems in agricultural machinery. Th

Since the fall of 2017, when it was brought to the public debate, gender-inclusive writing has sparked passionate reactions. The debates generated by this linguistic practice are divisive and the discussion on certain aspects, such as the so called midpoint, is paralysed. Many arguments are mobilised by opponents, such as the unreadability of gender-inclusive writing, or the absence of ambiguity i

With the Person-Place Fit Measure for Older Adults (PPFM-OA), older adults self-assess how their home and community environments suit their needs. The aim of the study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Swedish version of PPFM-OA. Methods: Four hund

Despite their emancipatory aspirations, collective entrepreneurial efforts to change organizations bottom-up are often complicit with the power structures they seek to transform. Our study takes a closer look at how workers experience and deal with the tensions between emancipation and complicity and how this can inform the entrepreneurial process. Empirically, we draw from a qualitative single-ca

The urgency to reimagine neoliberal capitalism challenges scholars to explore how we can organize alternatively. In this paper, we argue that a feminist ethics of care, which stresses our fundamental interdependence and responsibility to particular others, provides a novel relational understanding of the organization and maintenance of alternativity. Relying on an ethnography of a campaign and con
