Vård- och omsorgspersonal medverkar i teknikutveckling modell : vägen till en rimlig modell
- 2015
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Användarmedverkan i teknikutveckling kan både ses utifrån demokratiska potentialer och som en kommersiell investering – ett sätt att förkorta ledtid från idé till produkt. Användarmedverkan kan också uppfattas som ett sätt att kvalitetssäkra en utvecklingsprocess. Inom vård och omsorg involveras idag vårdtagare, anhöriga och vårdgivare i en ”boom” kring eHälsa och digitala applikationer och tjänster för vård och omsorg. Det vi kallar en ”boom” kan förväntas sträcka sig över ett antal år innan branschen stabiliserats. Inom denna ”boom” har – med offentliga aktörer som påskyndare – ”användarmedverkan” i teknikutveckling från vård- och omsorgspersonalens sida närmast institutionaliserats. Frågan är, i tidens vurm för deltagande och bottom-upprocesser, hur ”användarens” intressen tillvaratas när deltagande blir en arbetsuppgift? Och vilka är ”användarens” intressen? Deltagande, även kallad interaktiv forskning (med flera begrepp) innehåller instruktioner för demokratiska förhållningssätt, som ger utrymme för den senare frågan att besvaras i varje konkret sammanhang. Men kriterierna för att tillämpa de här instruktionerna är inte med nödvändighet uppfyllda i den stora gruppen forsknings- och innovationsprojekt där personal ”på golvet” involveras. Med (semi)institutionaliseringen av deltagande metoder flyttar den springande punkten från att röra forsknings- och utvecklingsmetod till arbetsorganisation, och här specifikt hur vård- och omsorgspersonalens deltagande organiseras. Vi är här intresserade av hur ”medverkan” i teknikutveckling inom vård och omsorg hanteras idag – och hur den bör hanteras om man ser till vård/omsorgspersonalens intressen. Till att börja med är det värdefullt att skapa en plattform för problematisering, och syftet med vårt inlägg här är att föreslå en sådan modell.

GPSDTN : Predictive velocity-enabled delay-tolerant networks for arctic research and sustainability
- 2007
-
Ingår i: Second International Conference on Internet Monitoring and Protection (ICIMP 2007). - Los Alamitos, Calif : IEEE Computer Society Press. - 9780769529110

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- A Delay-Tolerant Network (DTN) is a necessity for communication nodes that may need to wait for long periods to form networks. The IETF Delay Tolerant Network Research Group is developing protocols to enable such networks for a broad variety of Earth and interplanetary applications. The Arctic would benefit from a predictive velocity-enabled version of DTN that would facilitate communications between sparse, ephemeral, often mobile and extremely power-limited nodes. We propose to augment DTN with power-aware, buffer-aware location- and time-based predictive routing for ad-hoc meshes to create networks that are inherently location and time (velocity) aware at the network level to support climate research, emergency services and rural education in the Arctic. On Earth, the primary source of location and universal time information for networks is the Global Positioning System (GPS). We refer to this Arctic velocity-enabled Delay-Tolerant Network protocol as "GPSDTN" accordingly. This paper describes our requirements analysis and general implementation strategy for GPSDTN to support Arctic research and sustainability efforts

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- From a distance, the Sámi Network Connectivity initiative (SNC) does not necessarily appear as anything but another technical research project with certain science-fiction (sci-fi) connotations. It is aimed to create Internet connectivity for communications-challenged terrestrial settings using a protocol currently being developed for communications in space. However, while being a highly technical project, SNC emerged from an unexpected setting: an Indigenous women’s initiative to save their traditional livelihood from threats of social and economic drain and to create better opportunities for women and youth to remain within the traditional community. The first step towards the formation of SNC was taken in June 2001 when a group of women reindeer herders in Sirges Sámi Village in Jokkmokk, Norrbotten County in northern Sweden decided to start a gender equality project, Kvinna i sameby (KIS).1 To the Sámi, reindeer herding serves not only as an economic base but also as a foundation for reproduction of cultural values. Already in the KIS planning stage, Susanne Spik, the project leader, contacted the Division for Gender and Technology at Luleå University of Technology (LTU) to invite scientific assistance from the early stage of the project. LTU is the regional technical university for northern Sweden and is situated in the Norrbotten County capital of Luleå 200 km southeast of Jokkmokk. Promoting women’s possibilities to remain in reindeer herding and the traditional Sámi community, especially social and technical conditions for work and business development, were the focus in the discussions. An associated but separately funded project was subsequently formed by LTU researcher Maria Udén. A solution to the project requirements came from a guest researcher at the computer science department, Avri Doria, an Internet systems architect. In spring 2002, after initial discussions with members of the Interplanetary Networking Research Group (IPNRG) at the NASA Jet Propulsion Lab, she contributed the proposal that came to be referred to as Sámi Network Connectivity. With a decision to accept this project, the establishment of SNC as both a technical idea and a concrete gender-based project became a prime goal for the cooperation between the women in Sirges and the scholars at LTU, and continued after the KIS project ended in December 2003. The SNC objective is to provide connectivity where other sources are not available, while making the local population part of the development of the technical system. To develop the technical solution space of SNC, the Sámi Network Connectivity proposition gained research funding from the Swedish national agency for innovation systems, Vinnova, for the period 2004 to 2006. This funding is distributed through the Vinnova program “New communication networks”.

Karst show caves – how DTN technology as used in space assists automatic environmental monitoring and tourist protection – experiment in Postojna Cave
- 2014

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The paper presents an experiment demonstrating a novel and successful application of delay- and disruption-tolerant networking (DTN) technology for automatic data transfer in a karst cave early warning and measuring system. The experiment took place inside the Postojna Cave in Slovenia, which is open to tourists. Several automatic meteorological measuring stations are set up inside the cave, as an adjunct to the surveillance infrastructure; the regular data transfer provided by the DTN technology allows the surveillance system to take on the role of an early warning system (EWS). One of the stations is set up alongside the railway tracks, which allows the tourist to travel inside the cave by train. The experiment was carried out by placing a DTN "data mule" (a DTN-enabled computer with WiFi connection) on the train and by upgrading the meteorological station with a DTN-enabled WiFi transmission system. When the data mule is in the wireless drive-by mode, it collects measurement data from the station over a period of several seconds as the train without stopping passes the stationary equipment, and delivers data at the final train station by the cave entrance. This paper describes an overview of the experimental equipment and organization allowing the use of a DTN system for data collection and an EWS inside karst caves where there is regular traffic of tourists and researchers.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study investigates how environments into which new technologies are introduced interact and interfere with the deployment process, the deployed technologies as well as the research conducted. The material that is used in this study draws from the N4C project development and deployment of Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) technology in the remote Arctic villages of Ritsem and Staloluokta. As the development of DTN technology prior to the deployment was conducted primarily in the laboratories, its usability and functionality still needed to be proven on the field of deployment. Here, Actor Network Theory (ANT) was employed to reveal how climate, flora, fauna and other elements present in the field of deployment interacted and interfered with, but more importantly, drove the technological development and the continued research work.

Rikare affärsmodeller : För ett inkluderande värdeskapande i företag och organisationer
- 2020
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Här presenterar vi ramverket för RIKARE affärsmodeller. Ramverket som tagits fram inom ramen Gender Smart Arena vid Luleå tekniska universitet syftar till att bidra till företags och organisationer förändringsarbete mot inkluderande affärs- och verksamhetsmodeller. Ramverket utgör ett delmoment, ett komplement till det digitala verktyget ”Richer business models” (richerbusiness.eu). En affärsmodell är den plan enligt vilken ett företag sköter sin affärsverksamhet. Medvetenhet och reflekterande förståelse kring vad som skapar värde i företag möjliggör förändring. I detta ramverk bidrar vi med övningar och utmaningar som tar ert företag eller organisation till nästa steg i ert förändringsarbete. Företag och organisationer drivs av människor och det är också människor som skapar värde och åstadkommer förändring. I ramverket rikare affärsmodeller fångas affärsmodellens förändringsarbete utifrån flera dimensioner; från olika ”platser” (fysiskt, digital, socialt), situationer, roller och agerande, dvs det som sker och inte sker i företaget eller organisationen.Genom ramverket RIKARE affärsmodeller kan företag och organisationer ta ytterligare steg mot förbättrad konkurrenskraft och ansvarstagande för att skapa nya värden. Ta på dig de inkluderande glasögonen och bege dig ut i världen – var normkritisk och normkreativ – var aldrig rädd att förändr

Investigating the Non-Gendered Recruitment Characteristics of Mining Firms in Ghana : The Role of Sociocultural, Psychosocial and Organizational Design Factors
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Business and Management Quarterly Review. - Malaysia. - 2180-2777. ; 7:3/4, s. 38-51
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper explores the influencing dynamics of psychosocial, cultural and organizational design factors on the non-gendered characteristics of employee recruitment in firms operating in the Ghanaian mining industry that constrains the employability of women. A conceptual framework linking psychosocial, cultural, and organizational design to recruitment processes was developed to guide the study. Quantitative data was collected in four mining firms in Ghana using a questionnaire. The collated data was firstly factor analyzed to establish the predictiveness of the conceptual model components’ indicators. This was followed by an analysis of the conceptual model for “model goodness fit” using the AMOS–based structural equation modeling approach. The results showed that the non-gendered characteristics of employees’ recruitment in mining firms in Ghana, constrains the employability of women, is influenced directly and positively by the firms organizational designs, which is in turn influenced directly by the firms’ psychosocial and sociocultural factors. The study also showed that the non-gendered recruitment characteristic of the firms is influenced indirectly, but positively by the firms’ psychosocial factors, and negatively by other sociocultural factors. By implication, the study provides knowledge that can be used to understand the rationale behind the non-gendered characteristics of employee recruitment in Ghanaian mines and the influencing roles of organizational design factors as well as psychosocial and cultural factors. Mining firms can use this knowledge in developing gendered recruitment policies to enhance future recruitment of all qualified human resource, irrespective of gender.

Reflections on Organizational Barriers Vis-à-Vis Women Participation in Largescale Ghanaian Mines
- 2017
-
Ingår i: International Journal of Business and Social Science. - 2219-1933 .- 2219-6021.
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Writing from gender and organizational perspectives, this article reflects consciously with nuances upon varied effort working towards resolving the long existing binary barriers in the world of work. Working towards this goal, this article raises questions as to which organizational practices, processes, and procedures function to create participatory barriers to women in Ghanaian mine jobs. Adopting a mixed method design, the paper points to the culture of male dominance, gender biases, role models and mentorship constraints, unfriendly family work policies, and the relationship among women in male-dominated settings. These outcomes, according to the study, constitute a considerable concern for organizational development, with practical implications for industry, employment, labor relation practices, and public policy in Ghana. Therefore affirmative action among others is recommended for gender deconstruction, and promotion of gender democracy, an agenda for inclusivity, and a safety valve for poverty escapes and a compact for achieving gender equality in multinational Ghanaian mines.

Women leading change : re-shaping gender in Ghanaian mines
- 2021
-
Ingår i: International Journal of Development Issues. - : Emerald Group Publishing Limited. - 1446-8956 .- 1758-8553. ; 20:1, s. 113-125
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose: There is growing attention towards inclusive mining to make an economic case for gender equality and diversity in the industry. Available literature lacks sufficient empirical evidence on the subject matter in Ghana. Therefore, this paper aims to understudy women miners in Ghana and document their role in recent change regimes in mine works gender profiles. An observed change that is stimulating a shift in background dispositions leads to increasing number of women taking up mine jobs. Design/methodology/approach: In working towards achieving the aim of the study, both qualitative design and a multiple case study approaches are deployed. Four multinational Ghanaian mines and a mining and technology university were used to understudy the women miners and their role towards a change in mine work gender perspectives. Findings: The results showed a regime of “ore-solidarity movement†(women in mining – Ghana). A kind of solidarity identified conventionally as a social movement in active resource and self-mobilization, engaged in a symbolic contestation for change of the status quo (dominant masculinity cultures) in furtherance of gender equity and inclusion in milieu of mine works reforms in Ghana. Originality/value: The study is of high scientific, political and public interest to better understand women’s movements in the mining industries in Ghana and to frame them theoretically. It offers solid empirical evidence on roles women miners play to ensure gender shape-shifting and liberalizing the mining space for women’s participation. This move towards inclusive mining implies poverty eradication among women, work towards achieving sustainable mining, competitiveness and assurance for gender-driven social innovative mining. © 2020, Emerald Publishing Limited.

Shifting Gender Dynamics In Multinational Ghanaian Mine Jobs : Narratives on Organizational and Sociocultural Barriers
- 2017
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Gender is one of the central organizing principles around which social and corporate innovation revolves. The multinational Ghanaian mining is dominated by men and masculinity cultures. To gain an adequate understanding of this phenomenon, it is prudent to explore its gendered nature. This thesis reflects consciously upon the pre-entry, organizational and sociocultural barriers affecting the effective participation of women in mine jobs. And beyond the barriers, it examines what changes have occurred, occasioning a shift in gender dynamics, leading to an increasing number of women participation in the industry? The current thesis adopts a case study method, deploying a mix of quantitative and qualitative approaches; administered questionnaires, conducted individual interviews, observations, archival documents, and focus group discussions with respondents in four mining companies and a mining and technology university in Ghana. The AMOS–based structural equation modeling approach was used to analyze the quantitative data, while thematic and discourse analysis was employed in analyzing the qualitative narratives of the respondents. Results of the thesis point to the social construction of gender in science, engineering and technology education as a pre-entry barrier. Also, a complex web of male-dominance, gender bias, role models and mentorship constraints, coupled with unfriendly family work policies were noted organizational barriers. In furtherance, common prejudices, perceptions and stereotyped notions of gender roles in the mines constituted noted sociocultural factors constraining effective participation of women in mine work. However beyond the pre-entry, organizational and sociocultural barriers, the current thesis intuits a phenomenon of a ‘women’s revolution’ in the mines, witnessing collective efforts from Women in Mining Ghana as well as the mine workers’ organizations and allied institutions adopting gender strategic measures, such as the ‘ore solidarity,’ gender mainstreaming in admission programmes as well as gender-driven mining initiatives aimed at re-engineering or striking a shift in gender dynamics in the mine jobs of Ghana. Consequently, the classic and continuous male-dominance in Ghanaian mines constitute a considerable concern for mine work organizational development, with practical implications for the mining industry, employment, and labor relation practices as well as public policy in Ghana. Therefore, affirmative action is recommended for gender deconstruction and promotion of gender democracy. Indeed this move for inclusivity will engender poverty eradication work towards achieving organizational modernization, their global competitiveness and an assurance for gender-driven social innovative mining.

- In this chapter we describe how an action research approach has been a "door opener" for new actors to articulate problems and solutions in cooperation with Luleå University of Technology. We show how women from a Swedish Sami village have initiated a development of several innovative ICT projects and how this innovative process has demanded new forms for the cooperative research pursued at Sweden's technical universities. This has brought about new cooperation partners, new areas of research and a new innovation system.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This research note deals with an innovation initiative involving women, reindeer herding and the Internet. It shows how women reindeer herders from a Swedish Sami village were a driving force in the development of several innovative, EU-funded projects focusing on information and communications technology. The article shows how the innovation initiative involved a wide range of actors, ascribing stakeholders from civil society important roles besides the public and private sectors. The innovation initiative involved several different strategies. One of these strategies was internationalization - both at the European and worldwide levels. This strategy was employed to prevent rigid political hierarchies blocking the prospects of gaining support from local and regional authorities. Another strategy was the continuous exchange of knowledge between engineers and potential end users, adapting the initiative results to the needs of the local context. As a result, the innovation initiative has produced several kinds of outcomes. It has generated new technology as well as economic and social benefits.

Context Matters : problematising the policy‐practice interface in the enactment of gender equality action plans in universities

Ingår i: Gender, Work and Organization. - : John Wiley & Sons. - 0968-6673 .- 1468-0432. ; 28:2, s. 575-593
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper argues for recognition of the constitutive role of context in shaping the dynamics of the policy‐practice interface in the field of gender equality in universities. Using a comparative and reflective case‐study approach, we draw on our experiences, as action‐researchers, of developing and implementing Gender Equality Action Plans (GEAPs) in four universities in four different European countries and we explore the role of national and local context in the mediation and translation of the GEAP model. Drawing on the concepts of gendered organisations, dialogic organisational change and policy mobilities, we argue for the need to be critical of approaches to gender equality in higher education (HE) that presume policy measures and good practice models transfer unproblematically to different HE organisations in different international contexts; instead, we draw attention to the contingent ways in which uneven gender relations articulate and manifest in different contexts, shaping possibilities for, and obstacles to, gender equality intervention. Thus, we argue that context plays a crucial constitutive role in the interpretation, enactment and impact of gender equality policy in HE.

Realizing delay tolerant networking as access enabler: services arising in new realms and the driving applications
- 2010
-
Ingår i: eChallenges e-2010 Conference. - Piscataway, NJ : IEEE Communications Society. - 9781905824212
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Many locations are not within reach for the physical infrastructure of communications networks. This is a challenge for the Future Internet. One technology currently investigated as a possible enabler is Delay Tolerant Networking (DTN). It is a reasonable assumption that the applications that are the presently most used in the "normal" internet will continue to be of most importance also in hitherto not ICT covered areas. But, for local SMEs the rational may rather be development of specialized services, exploiting DTN technology to increase the efficiency and market potentials for their activities in remote locations. To achieve this, hardware and open source software are put together to form a node system that make up the DTN applications, custom built to the situation with focus on power management, routing schemes and custom made software based on user need. These nodes are tested with users in real life test beds, enabling internet connectivity to reach even further, without the need for new physical infrastructure.

Femininitetens och maskulinitetens visuella yta och innehåll : Visuell Design för förändring
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Book of Abstracts. - Karlstad : Karlstads universitet.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Visuell kommunikation, bilder och bildspråk omger oss överallt i samhället och påverkar vår vardag på många olika sätt. Det innehåll som förmedlas i bilder har ibland ett eget språk, ett visuellt maktspråk (Wikberg Nilsson & Eriksson, 2022). Vi människor tycks ha blivit vana att oreflekterat absorbera bildinnehåll med ett bildspråk av kvinnor och män framställda som varandras motsatser. I detta bildspråk representeras kvinnor exempelvis ofta som söta, känslomässiga, mjuka, passiva och underordnade, medan män framställs som hårda, aktiva, kapabla experter med kontroll (Eriksson & Götlund, 2004). Bildspråket kan därmed beskrivas som en aktiv del i upprätthållandet av en dikotomi mellan kvinnor och män (Hirdman, 2001). Fokus i denna text är det oreflekterade och ofta implicita språket i visuell design, det som vi i denna text beskriver som visuella viskningar. Med utgångspunkt i genusteorier om män och maskulinitet (Connell, 1987), genusperformativitet (Butler, 2011) och könad visuell design (Eriksson & Götlund, 2004; Wikberg Nilsson & Eriksson, 2022) är det övergripande målet att utforska konsekvenserna av normer och makt i visuellt bildspråk och vilken påverkan den kan ha för jämlikhet i samhället i stort. Genom att studera olika yrken, branscher och områden ur ett socialsemiotiskt perspektiv (van Leeuwen & Jewitt, 2001) kan de könade visuella viskningarna synliggöras i form av hur de gestaltas och bidrar till att forma olika slags normer och makt i vårt samhälle. Exempel på detta är designvärlden och de som designar de visuella bildspråket runt omkring oss är en starkt mansdominerad bransch (Reimer, 2016), Det innebär att merparten av de som behöver ändra arbetssätt är män, om vi i närtid ska uppleva en förändring i den visuella designen och dess visuella kraftspråk då inte bara ojämn representation påverkar branschen utan även innehållet i den visuella designens gestaltning. Genom att tillämpa en konstnärligt utforskande designforskningsprocess, är syftet med detta bidrag att öka kunskapen om genus i design.

A first exploration regarding gender segregated green entrepreneurship in Norrbotten and indications of theory that might be of interest.
- 2024
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The GENGREEN project's main objective is to develop a cross-border recognized program for green entrepreneurial training directed to women. This is a first report on the Status of (Gender segregated) Green Entrepreneurship from the Swedish Partner Luleå University of Technology. About 3 500 women in Norrbotten may be counted as entrepreneurs. This would cover business owners in executive positions and self-employment. One topic of interest concerns the percentage of women entrepreneurs at regional level, who focus on sustainable/green activities. No data or estimation that can shed light on this could be identified. Regarding Norrbotten's “Green transitions”, the current trend is investments in heavy industry that generate entrepreneurial opportunities in male dominated branches. Relevant training and applicable formal education for green women entrepreneurs are offered by among other, ALMI and Luleå University of Technology.

A located realism: Recent development within feminist science studies and the present options for feminist engineering
- 2009
-
Ingår i: Women's Studies. - : Elsevier BV. - 0277-5395 .- 1879-243X. ; 32:3, s. 219-226
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The article states that in order to be meaningful gender studies in engineering need to conceptualize feminist understandings into the web of routines created and maintained in engineering practice. Its theme is the area in-between laboratory settings and human-machine interfaces. This huge area includes civil engineering, energy production, mechanical engineering and more, but has hardly been addressed in feminist writing on technology. The works of Evelyn Fox Keller and Karen Barad are investigated. Their respective approaches to language differ, as do their stances with regards to the possibility of universal knowledge. As an experiment, agential realism is applied to a fictive case of a collapsing structure, and found to make sense as feminist conceptualization of such an event. But engineering takes place in complex and disruptive processes that produce situated experience. Therefore, feminist concepts of embodiment and plurality remain crucial. The author recommends a located realism.

A suggestion to use insights from women’s studies as input in design of industrial ecologies
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Sustainability – Equality – Women. - Szczecin : Uniwersytet Szczecinski. ; , s. 99-108
-
Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- As can be expected from a field termed Industrial Ecology its’ focus is on the exchanges commonly understood as constituents of industry or, put in other words, of production. This evokes the classical gender studies observation, regarding epistemological effects in science, from the cultural construction of male and female spheres. Ultimately, IE refers to the human interaction with the planet. Can a sufficient degree of validity be retained if the system boundaries, are positioned so that they set “production” apart from “reproduction”? What might take place in culturally “feminine” zones that is integral to the activities of an industrial system? With Evelyn Fox Keller one might ask, if the tables should be turned: Under what circumstances can analytical boundaries be applied that, separate production from reproduction and public from private? The chapter reviews IE and gender studies scholarly writing through examples that demonstrate topics, themes and concerns in the respective fields.

Indigenous women as entrepreneurs in global front line innovation systems
- 2008
-
Ingår i: Journal of Enterprising Communities. - : Emerald. - 1750-6204 .- 1750-6212. ; 2:3, s. 225-239
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate an entrepreneurial process with unusual characteristics, focusing on Sámi micro and mezo level entrepreneurial logics and terms. Design/methodology/approach - The case study is a Sámi community in Sweden, where a gender equality project developed into involvement with global innovations systems, in advanced networking development. The paper builds on ethnological methodology and an interactive approach. Market signalling theory is applied, uniquely for this paper, to public funding decisions. Findings - The paper found anticipation among Sámi of mobile ICT to take over the key role in herding, from the present mechanized and motorized era. The many-faceted entrepreneurial process contradicts a fundamental split between survival and self expression mode for economic strategy taken for granted in, e.g. Richard Florida's theory on the creative class. Regarding public funding for research and entrepreneurial initiatives, the paper finds that the national level has made itself accessible, while the regional level administrator has pushed the initiative to "other" markets. Research limitations/implications - Conclusions cannot be but provisional based on one case. As very few cases of this type are known the findings are yet of value for the design of further research and policy. Originality/value - Indigenous peoples' and women's roles in the information society are not self-evident. The case shows fruitful possibilities. Turning to market signaling theory prepares for further development of quantitative evaluation, e.g. equal opportunity and inclusion policy implementation, and has not previously been done in relation to this case.

Jämställdhet från lax till löja : ett projekt för att kartlägga omständigheter kring kvinnors deltagande i fiskenäringen i Norrbotten, inklusive offentliga beslutsprocesser
- 2004
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Det är en sorts allmän kännedom att yrkesfisket i Norrbotten "officiellt" bedrivs av män inom enmansföretag, men att ofta drivs det som familjeverksamheter där flera generationer och både kvinnor och män är engagerade. Frågan är om omfattningen av kvinnors deltagande kan uppskattas? En yrkesfiskelicens ägs av en kvinna, av totalt 65 licenser i Norrbotten. Detta är lätt att ta reda på, eftersom det förs register över utdelade licenser. Men hur ser det ut i övrigt? För att undersöka detta gjordes under våren 2004 telefonintervjuer med licensierade fiskare som är bosatta utefter Norrbottenskusten. Två kvinnor från fiskarhushåll intervjuades i personliga intervjuer, för att få en fylligare bild av hur situationen att vara "fiskarhustru" uppfattas av kvinnorna själva. De kvinnor som intervjuades tillhör olika generationer, den ena är idag i medelåldern medan den andra i det närmaste har lagt yrkesarbetet bakom sig. Resultat och slutsatser: Det är inte möjligt idag att ange omfattningen av kvinnors arbete inom de norrbottniska fiskeriföretagen. Eftersom detta arbete till stor del organiseras informellt krävs vittgående och komplicerade undersökningar för att göra en korrekt uppskattning. Det mest vanliga innehållet i kvinnornas arbete kan däremot beskrivas utifrån fiskarnas egna ord, och genom den beskrivningen kan den betydelse som kvinnors arbete har för fiskeföretagen i Norrbotten uppskattas. Sjutton av arton intervjuade fiskare sa att kvinnor arbetade eller hade arbetat med hantering av löja och framställning av löjrom i deras företag. De fiskare som sa att kvinnor tidigare men inte längre arbetade med löjromsframställning i deras företag, hade dragit ner på verksamheten så att det inte längre var aktuellt med denna hjälp. Situationen är sammantaget den att löjan är den viktigaste fisken för det norrbottniska yrkesfisket i Bottenviken som detta ser ut i dag, och att löjan har denna kapacitet att skapa inkomst genom att rommen bereds inom fiskarnas egna företag. Här är kvinnors insatser avgörande. Dessa insatser organiseras inom familjen, inom en krets av släkt och vänner och mot timpenning. Det skulle inte ge samma inkomster att sälja löjan, som det ger att sälja löjrommen. Det sätt att organisera arbete efter kön som råder i Norrbottens fiskerinäring gör att kvinnor konsekvent hamnar utanför bedömningen att de har ekonomiska intressen i fisket. Ändå är deras arbete en bärande del av denna näring. Många kvinnor anpassar sina liv för att stötta fiskeriföretagens behov. Fisket är viktigt för dem, och de är viktiga för fisket. Men det sätt de deltar på är inte i takt med samhällets organisationsformer i övrigt, och de blir osynliga gentemot samhällets ekonomiska system och gentemot beslutsprocesser om fiskeförvaltning. Både i konkret och i symbolisk bemärkelse blir det som att dessa kvinnor inte finns. Detta avspeglas i hur fiskarhustrur upplever sin personliga situation. Det alternativ till familjevis och delvis informell organisation som syns utvecklas i Norrbotten idag är inte att kvinnor mer och mer kommer in på reglerade och öppna villkor, utan tvärt om att de försvinner bort och näringen blir ett allt mer manligt område. Detta kan stämma med tendenser som rapporterats internationellt (Power 2002) Om den norrbottniska fiskarkåren i sig skulle ha en jämn fördelning av kvinnor och män, skulle förändringen i familjebaserat deltagande inte föra med sig en maskulinisering av fiskesektorn. Nu är detta långt ifrån fallet, och eftersom den åsikten finns representerad i den offentliga förvaltningen att kvinnor inte kan vara fiskare, måste man i all förvaltning vara vaksam angående beslut och beslutsprocesser. Det gäller både beslut gällande enskilda personer och övergripande förvaltnings- och regleringsärenden. Det finns i FIFS 1995:23, 3§, ett undantag från det "normala" kravet att fiskelicens inte beviljas den som har heltidsarbete utöver fisket, nämligen om fisket utgör minst 20% av hushållets totala inkomst. Är det här undantaget alls relevant i dag, med tanke på att hushållen inom vilka de mindre fiskeföretagen bedrivs får mer än hälften av sina deklarerade inkomster från förvärvsarbete utanför fiskeföretaget, och att kvinnor, dvs licensägarnas partners, i allt väsentligt står för dessa inkomster? Är det inte så numer, att kvinnors förvärvsinkomster gör det möjligt för män att fiska, snarare än att mäns fiske ger en avgörande inkomst till hushållen? Det är inte ett påstående från min sida att det förhåller sig så, men det finns orsak att ta den möjligheten på allvar i fiskeförvaltning och - styrning. Dessutom bidrar kvinnor med obetalt arbete till fiskeriföretagens inkomster.

Implementing feminist theory in engineering : obstacles within the gender studies tradition
- 2017
-
Ingår i: European Journal of Engineering Education. - : Taylor & Francis. - 0304-3797 .- 1469-5898. ; 42:3, s. 336-348
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Scholars have noted that there is hesitation to utilise findings from gender studies in engineering education. Issues within gender studies may be part of the matching problem. Debates concerning two concepts for new engineering paradigms are investigated: care and heterogeneity. Their appeals and the respective complications which they tend to be associated with are revisited. Two examples are explored in detail. The tensions revealed lead to the contents of technical work. More social sciences content in engineering education is sometimes suggested, as a way to support more humane approaches. But, if the calculations that decide how many bolts of what dimension are to be put where are ‘masculinist reductionism’, it still remains that someone will have to do those calculations. Is emphasis on social issues really what we want from engineers?

The novel feminist diffraction concept : Its application in fifty-one peer-reviewed papers
- 2018
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Diffraction,as conventionally defined, is a term for one among a number of wave phenomena.Since the 1990's, when it was introduced by Donna Haraway, it is also a concept within feminist methodology. While particularly the cyborg figure – the cybernetic organism – already in its mainstream scientific-technological scope involves both fantasy and innovation, the term diffraction is in its conventional meaning descriptive. This paper investigates the broad strokes of how the novel diffraction concept is taken in use. Fifty-one papers published in peer-reviewed journals from 2001 to June 2016. The results indicate that the opposition to traditional contemplation- i.e. reflection that Haraway sets as target when introducing the novel concept is the point around which the dynamics evolve.That far, the novel concept could be just any metaphor, like describing thinking things through as ‘reflecting’. Several authors however claim an interdisciplinary connotation, especially to physics. In the material investigated, every implementation and elaboration does not abide to the letter to each attribute in Haraway’s concept. The discovery of how dominant it nevertheless has become to do just that is an important result of this study. Haraway’s sketch of a mirror and a diffraction laboratory experiment is dealt with as was it a full description of wave theory, a complete representation that perfectly meshes with nature. In a fair share of the material, Haraway’s invention of putting diffraction and reflection as metaphors for thinking in hierarchical opposition is literarily interpreted into physics.

Kan kvinnor vara renskötare?
- 2007
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Can women be reindeer herders? A woman who is a reindeer herder asked for assistance from LTU, to shed light over that topic, as her Sámi village was starting a gender equality project in 2001. This report develops the material gathered during the two years of research and cooperation that developed as result of the request. The material includes fifteen interviews with reindeer herders and reindeer owners, and observation and participatory observation. The topics brought up include the Swedish legislation, "Rennäringslagen"- the reindeer herding law, and an investigation of possible benefits in terms of relevant knowledge development gained by applying two particular feminist concepts to the analysis: "doing gender" and "the nomadic subkect". References include Andrea Amft, Jorun Eikjokk and others who have published on the topic of gender and gender equality in reindeer herding and Sámi communities in Scandinavia. The snow mobile has a central position in the report, as it has in contemporary popular local explanations to "why women cannot be reindeer herders".
