Successful technological transitions require the alignment of technologies, capabilities, infrastructure, and institutions across a wide array of industries and involving many agents. In such processes, synergies and complementarities across different fields of economic activity are crucial. When such complementarities are missing, imbalances emerge, which, in the absence of innovation, may stifle
The aim of this article is to present the archival practice behind two extensive research projects that we have worked on during the last decade: the Stockholm Film Workshop and minor immigrant filmmaking in Sweden. Archive has become a general catchword in today’s academia that encompasses several practices of collecting, storing, distributing and displaying. We will stress in particular – partlyThe aim of this article is to present the archival practice behind two extensive research projects that we have worked on during the last decade: the Stockholm Film Workshop and minor immigrant filmmaking in Sweden.

Control engineering is a well-established discipline with a long and prominent his-tory1. It is diverse in its applications but has a strong unifying core to it: the notion ofdynamic systems and control theory. Many engineers will have encountered it as partof their education, as control engineering courses are taught to electrical, mechanical,chemical, aerospace, and industrial engineers. Quite o
This paper reconsiders how central banks get involved in the process of determining nominal variables such as market interest rates and inflation rates. It is argued that the traditional story deriving central bank power from its monopoly of issuing base money is flawed. That story - in its various guises - is based on the quantity equation. This equation, however, is only applicable in the hypoth
In ESS, a 5 MW proton beam will hit a helium cooled tungsten target to generate neutrons by spallation. For the purpose of investigating various aspects of cooling with helium, an experimental system has been constructed at Lund University, Department of Energy Sciences. A helium flow of 3 g/s is circulated in a closed loop with pre-heater, cooler, filters and a test vessel. The vessel has windows
Drawing upon the perspective of the cultural studies of emotions, this article examines the reception of political satire and the re-contextualization of humour. More precisely, it investigates the multiplicity of tensions that come into play in the production, erasure, rediscovery, and reception in BelarusianInternet media of politically oriented Russian television humour mocking the Belarusian p

The emergence of blockchain technology enables entrepreneurs to raise capital in an innovative way, by addressing a crowd of online investors without the need for an intermediary. This phenomenon is known as token sales, and it may have the potential to revolutionize entrepreneurial finance. However, information asymmetry is particularly severe in this context, and the need for entrepreneurs to se
The aim of this article is to draw attention to the dangerous, indeed poisonous, nature of the current debates on immigration and multiculturalism in today’s ‘omniphobic’ Europe, plagued not only by a severe economic crisis, but also a more general normative crisis, a ‘crisis of values’ so to speak, which has been consistently overlooked or manipulated by politicians and academics alike, or reduce
Medieval Europe was characterized by geopolitical disorder and territorial disunion. Around 1500 AD, as the modern era dawned, Europe comprised some 1,500 districts which were largely politically independent. Gradually, medium sized territories emerged around cores made up of cultural, economic, and political centres. The Lake Malar area in Sweden was such a territory; London, Paris, Berlin-Potsda
