   Sammanfattning : Historical demographic research is central to understanding past human behaviours and traits, such as fertility, mortality and migration. An essential part of historical demography is conducting longitudinal analyses at the micro-level, which involves the detailed follow-up of individuals over long time periods throughout their lives.

3. 2. Challenging Canon : The Gender Question in Computer Science

   Författare :Christina Björkman; Mälardalens högskola; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Women and Computer Science; Feminist Technoscientific Studies; Computer Science Paradigms;

   Sammanfattning : The gender question in computer science is often presented as: "Why are there so few women in computer science and what can be done about that?" This question usually focuses on women. Sometimes 'men' or 'gender' enter the discussions. However, it is not common that the second part of the sentence - computer science - is considered. LÄS MER

4. 3. Crossing Boundaries, Focusing Foundations, Trying Translations : Feminist Technoscience Strategies in Computer Science

   Författare :Christina Björkman; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; computer science; feminist research; epistemology;

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis I explore feminist technoscience strategies in computer science, starting in “the gender question in computer science”, and ending up in communication and translation between feminist technoscience research and computer science educational practice. Necessary parts in this work concern issues of boundary crossings between disciplines, and focusing on the foundations of computer science: what it means to “know computer science”. LÄS MER

5. 4. Gender and representation : investigations of bias in natural language processing

   Författare :Hannah Devinney; Henrik Björklund; Jenny Björklund; Christian Hardmeier; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NLP; natural language processing; gender bias; social impact of AI; gendered pronouns; neopronouns; gender studies; topic modeling; Computer Science; datalogi; computational linguistics; datorlingvistik; genusvetenskap; gender studies;

   Sammanfattning : Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies are a part of our every day realities. They come in forms we can easily see as ‘language technologies’ (auto-correct, translation services, search results) as well as those that fly under our radar (social media algorithms, 'suggested reading' recommendations on news sites, spam filters).

7. 5. Call centre work : characteristics, physical, and psychosocial exposure, and health related outcomes

   Författare :Kerstin Norman; Håkan Alm; Ewa Wigaeus Tornqvist; Allan Toomingas; Gunnevi Sundelin; Linköpings universitet; []
