I en tid då verkningarna av den tredje industriella revolutionens utveckling av informationsteknologi utmanar vårt beskattningssystem har den fjärde industriella revolutionen redan inletts. Parallellt med de svårigheter som följer av att försöka fastställa var en digital närvaro ska beskattas står vi inför en samhällsomdanande strukturomvandling, där ökad automatisering pådriven av artificiell int
I takt med att generativ AI har blivit både bättre och mer lättillgänglighar skriftliga examinationsformer såsom uppsatser och hemtentamenbörjat ifrågasättas. Med stöd i den traditionella synen på generativ AIsom ett otillåtet hjälpmedel, där studenten genom tekniken inte självformulerar de skriftliga inlämningarna som ska bedömas, beklagar siglärarkollegor över hur skrivuppgiften urholkas och ris
As international cross-border tax planning increasingly tests domestic legal frameworks,Sweden has relied on a patchwork of different provisions to combat treaty abuse. Throughthe dynamic interplay between its domestic anti-avoidance rules and international treatyprovisions, Sweden has occasionally deployed its targeted Specific Anti-Avoidance Rules(SAARs) and even discussed the possibility of app
This thesis offers a comprehensive account of the emergence and evolution of Maumaus—an art organisation dedicated to education, curation, and production founded in Lisbon in 1992. Through an analysis of its history and the values and principles that underpin its programmes, this (auto)biography of the organisation—produced by a practitioner who is himself inextricably bound in this history—conduc
This paper presents a novel convolutional neural network (CNN)-based control chart for detecting localized and subtle speckle shifts (displacements) in the images. To enhance detection accuracy, especially in detecting localized and simultaneous shifts, we design a custom CNN architecture and utilize a training methodology. Moreover, instead of inputting the entire images, we divide them into equa
Waste-to-energy fly ash can be repurposed if treated to limit the leaching of potentially toxic elements such as Zn. Ashes with lime additives can be stabilised via gypsum formation, while those without additives are better suited for acid-leaching treatment (and material recovery). In this study, ashes from grate-fired boilers – three without lime addition and one ash with lime addition – were tr
This study investigates how agricultural producers are incorporated into commodity circuits under contemporary capitalism, in the context of growing pressures from emerging infectious diseases. Focusing on poultry production systems in Denmark and Norway currently under threat from highly pathogenic avian influenza, we argue that understanding these dynamics requires an expanded conception of agri
Focusing on mounting challenges to agro-industrial capitals posed by emerging infectious diseases, this paper revisits longstanding debates in critical agrarian studies scrutinizing the role of turnover time. Analyzing Norway and Denmark's poultry industries' recent confrontations with avian influenza, and by paying close attention to the questions of temporality and disaggregating the agency of c
Japan has a long history of managing natural hazards due to its geography and geology. Simultaneously, it is known as a country with a railway system that is highly punctual, reliable, and safe. This research uses an exploratory approach to review climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction practices in the Greater Tokyo Area. Unstructured interviews with various stakeholders and a liter
This paper provides novel evidence of the impact of temperature fluctuations on retirement behavior and underlying mechanisms, combining 30 years of rich longitudinal survey data with granular daily weather information. Exposureto cold and hot temperatures accelerates transitions into retirement, particularly among individuals unaccustomed to such conditions, and the effects are strongest among vu
We introduce a novel strategy to study the intergenerational transmission of human capital skills, net of genetic skill transfers. For this purpose, we use unique Danish data on children conceived through sperm and egg donation in in vitro fertilization treatments to estimate the relationship between child test scores and parental years of schooling. Because the assignment of donors is not selecti
Drawing on political readings of Freud, this paper probes the anxieties and fears driving anti-gender consumer activism, an emerging form of consumer politics in which a cisheteronormative subject defends his consumer privileges in the name of “the family.” We examine how American anti-gender activists opposed Disney’s shift from its conservative, family-oriented brand image. We argue that this caDrawing on political readings of Freud, this paper probes the anxieties and fears driving anti-gender consumer activism, an emerging form of consumer politics in which a cisheteronormative subject defends his consumer privileges in the name of “the family.” We examine how American anti-gender activists opposed Disney’s shift from its conservative, family-oriented brand image.

This thesis analyzes the effects of technological change using the case ofelectrification in 20th-century Sweden. It begins with a systematic literaturereview that identifies gaps in the quantitative research on historical jobdisplacement before 1980. In Sweden, electrification enhanced labor andreduced income inequality. Analysis of 1930 census data shows that earlyelectricity access raised incom
The relationship between sustainability and conflict is complex and often hard to define, yet the consequences of interaction can be catastrophic. Unsustainable practices and their consequences for the environment can contribute to conflict. War—and the energy and resource costs of preparing for war—can also have terrible impacts on the environment. In this Voices, we ask how sustainability and en
The atomic lattice plays a critical role in the emergence of high-𝑇𝑐 superconductivity in cuprates. While the dynamics associated with electron-lattice coupling typically unfold on picosecond-to-femtosecond timescales, we present an x-ray photon correlation spectroscopy investigation on an optimally doped La-based cuprate that reveals a strong response of kilosecond-scale lattice relaxation dyna
BACKGROUND: To investigate the effects of different types of parental health status on child development and health, valid parental distress measurement instruments are needed. The aim was to assess the psychometric measurement properties of the 21-item Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21) used during the postnatal year in community samples of Swedish mothers and fathers.METHODS: Data were c
