Using panel micro data fro\m Community Innovation Survey in the Czech Republic, Norway and the UK, we estimate dynamic random effects models, in which the innovation output of firms is the function of their cooperative behaviour and other observed characteristics, while accounting for unobserved heterogeneity. The results indicate that the capacity of firms to build on external domestic linkages i
An experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of charge stratification on the combustion phasing in a single cylinder, heavy duty (HD) compression ignition (CI) engine. To do this the start of injection (SOI) was changed from -180° after top dead centre (ATDC) to near top dead centre (TDC) during which CA50 (the crank angle at which 50% of the fuel energy is released) was kept constant by
Top quark pairs production and decay are considered in the framework of the smeared-mass unstable particles model. The results are in good agreement with the previous ones in the literature. Suggested approach significantly simplifies calculations compared to the standard perturbative one.
In this article, I explore concerns that have been raised regarding the relation between love and uptake of reproductive technologies, embryo selection and enhancement. Objections to (certain) uses of these technologies in terms of fractures in love, either parental or between partners, come from a variety of directions, from the conservative to the liberal. I examine two claims: (1) that the sepa
This article seeks to propose a politics of landscape as a way to recognise emergent practices, methods and dramaturgies embedded in landscapes we inhabit. Being in and On Land/scapes means recognizing ways of making that challenge the means of domination, and to institute modes of doing and thinking that recognize dependencies. This article seeks to explore: What are the political implications an
This chapter argues that Frazer's writings on the worship of trees contribute to the discussion on religion and ecology within the environmental humanities. Frazer's idea that animism and seeing trees as living and worthy of respect supports an ethical relation to trees has been furthered in a contemporary context where sentient trees support an ecological ethos. Frazer's idea is related to Lynn W
Based on fieldwork in a sensory science laboratory in Sweden, this paper brings the social aspects of conducting an analytical sensory panel together with consumers’ understandings of the everyday consumption context and existing practices. As part of an interdisciplinary project investigating seaweed as a new food in a Swedish context, this paper explores how seaweed as a new resource is made edi
In recent years, a growing interest in sustainable tourism and outdoor recreation has emerged in Sweden and globally. While a positive development for many reasons, it coincides with other shifting patterns in recreational nature use, influenced by climate change, social media, and experimental interventions in natural areas. These developments bring opportunities to broaden participation, but als
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circulation is a complex process that is still not fully understood. Despite decades of research on CSF and its distinct functions, there still remain a number of open questions regarding the mechanisms that govern its circulation. The recently discovered glymphatic system, which is mostly active during sleep, clears the brain from extracellular metabolites and waste prod
In 2015 the Rockefeller Foundation-Lancet Commission defined planetary health as built on an ecological model that integrates the material, biological, social, and cultural aspects of public health and accepts the complexity and non-linearity of the dynamics of natural systems. The zoonotic COVID-19 pandemic hastened this awaking to the symbiotic nature of planetary health politics (PHP), with the

Democracy festivals are events that aim to strengthen democracy by engaging citizens, politicians and organisations in dialogue and provide a more equal access to the agenda. In recent years, social media have become important arenas for agenda building, supposedly equalising the access to such processes. This article uncovers patterns of activity and visibility in agenda building through an actor
