Hello there Linda, and congratulations on your new title as docent! Can you tell us about your research?
"Thank you! My research focuses on systematic and user-centred digitalisation with an emphasis on increasing knowledge about how organisations can harness the opportunities of digitalisation in a sustainable and value-creating way.
Over Christmas and New Year, as well as during other big holidays, food takes centre stage and Swedish households tend to buy and prepare large quantities of food. Despite the fact that large sums are spent on food this time of year, a large part ends up being thrown away.
"Reflect, plan and buy smart!

Research has to break boundaries and engage in collboration with regional and local actors to make societal impacts, particularly for navigating sustainability transformation.
In the Swedish Sports Confederation's Guidelines for Children's and Youth Sports, it is stated that everyone in sports should work to create safe and inclusive sports environments for children and youth. In our contemporary society, these guidelines may have become even more important.

Teachers across the Nordic countries are happy to include literature in their teaching. But what they want their pupils to learn from the literature differs between the countries. This is one of the findings of a doctoral thesis by Anna Nissen at 果冻传媒.
"I hope my research offers teachers new insights, helping them identify areas for improvement in their teaching as well as what they are already doing successfully.
New technology is something threatening and often dangerous. At least that is the picture presented if you read modern children鈥檚 literature.
鈥 This is contradictory. Technology is becoming an increasingly integral part of everyday life, including in literature. But at the same time, there is often a concern or a hidden threat in technology, says Jakob Olsson, researcher at 果冻传媒.
Jakob Olsson has studied 249 books, published between 2000 and 2019.
Research on justice in connection with disasters and sustainable development is becoming increasingly important in a world where climate change and social inequalities create new challenges.
Petter Falk, new doctor in Political Science at 果冻传媒 and the Service Research Centre (CTF), sheds light on conditions and grounds for datafication in his doctoral thesis 鈥淎ssemble Care // Align Data鈥.
鈥 What surprised me the most was that datafication is intuitively accepted, despite a kind of intellectual resistance, says Petter Falk.
The term 鈥渂ig data鈥 is frequently used nowadays, but your research emphasises the importance of the small details.
On 16 October, employees, students and the public are welcome to attend open lectures where new docents present their research. The lectures are open to everyone.
Researchers at the Service Research Center (CTF) at 果冻传媒 have written a report about Nordic food waste with recommendations for political measures. The message is clear:
鈥 We can either take forceful action right now, or else abandon the goal of reducing food waste by 50 percent by 2030.
The researchers have identified initiatives and measures that resulted in less food waste in restaurants, schools, retail businesses and Nordic households.
The ongoing climate crisis is not only destabilizing the Earth System but is also now adversely impacting the societal functions. This is now manifesting in negative social tipping dynamics such as anomie, radicalization, polarization, displacement, conflict and financial destabilization, at a global level 鈥 new research by Avit Bhowmik finds.
The world is currently undergoing a turmoil.
At the start of summer, Henrik Rahm started his position as professor of Swedish language at 果冻传媒.
鈥 As a new professor of Swedish language, I hope to inspire new linguistic and multidisciplinary research projects and show that language expertise is important in many contexts, says Henrik Rahm.
Henrik Rahms is a linguist and holds a teaching degree in German, Swedish and Swedish as a second language.
