  2. 16. Engineering Equality? : Assessing the Multiple Impacts of Electoral Gender Quotas

    Author : Pär Zetterberg; Li Bennich-Björkman; Per Adman; Christina Bergqvist; Anne Maria Holli; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; quotas; gender; women; equality; representation; participation; candidate selection; Latin America; Political science; Statsvetenskap; Statskunskap; Political Science;

    Abstract : The driving question of this compilation thesis is whether quotas for political assemblies represent an effective tool for breaking down gender inequality in the political sphere. To put it differently, focus is on the possibilities for policy-makers to engineer equality. READ MORE

  4. 17. European Party Politics and Gender : Configuring Gender-Balanced Parliamentary Presence

    Author : Emelie Lilliefeldt; Nicholas Aylott; Drude Dahlerup; Richard Matland; Stockholms universitet; []

    Abstract : In the late 20th century, the proportions of women and men elected into European national parliaments became increasingly equal. Political parties shape these outcomes by selecting and fielding candidates in elections. READ MORE

  5. 18. Playing the Matching Game : An Institutional Analysis of Executive Recruitment and Selection in Software Start-ups: Silicon Valley and Stockholm

    Author : Tiziana Sardiello; Christofer Edling; Mary Brinton; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; job-matching; executive recruitment; executive selection; entrepreneurship; start-up; software; institutionalism; institutional logics; Silicon Valley; Stockholm; Sociology; Sociologi; Sociology; sociologi;

    Abstract : Software start-ups make media headlines daily, suggesting that it may take only a garage and two engineering students to begin such companies, and that these same people will constitute the core of the executive team until these organizations become multinational giants. Despite these spontaneous starts, newly formed entrepreneurial ventures have many obstacles to overcome in their resource and cultural environments when establishing their practices. READ MORE

  6. 19. Stochastic model updating and model selection with application to structural dynamics

    Author : Majid Khorsand Vakilzadeh; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Finite element model; Bayesian model selection; Bayesian model updating; stochastic simulation; Bootstrapping; Subspace system identification; Uncertainty quantification;

    Abstract : Uncertainty induced by our incomplete state of knowledge about engineering systems and their surrounding environment give rise to challenging problems in the process of building predictive models for the system behavior. One such challenge is the model selection problem, which arises due to the existence of invariably multiple candidate models with different mathematical forms to represent the system behavior, and so there is a need to assess their plausibility based on experimental data.
