Norm compliance in an uncertain world
In many situations, pro-social norms govern behavior. While the existence of a pro-social norm may be clear to someone entering the situation, it is often less clear precisely how much effort is required in order to comply with the norm. We investigate how people react to uncertainty about which effort level implements the prevailing norm using a modified version of the dictator game. Since the be

Malign foreign interference and information influence on video game platforms: Understanding the adversarial playbook
Vi lever i en tid där omfattningen av otillbörlig kognitiv informationspåverkan från främmande makt med syfte att påverka människors uppfattningar, beteenden och beslut ökar. Särskild uppmärksamhet har riktats mot sociala mediers betydelse ochpotentiella effekter. Men det finns en stor digital sektor som hamnat utanför strålkastarljuset – dataspel inklusive de plattformar och sociala aktiviteter s
Hydrological response of sedum-moss roof
Eco-roofs are becoming popular for aesthetic reasons and also as units of stormwater systems. It is thought that such roofs with soil cover and vegetation reduces the total runoff, the peak flows and improves the quality of the roof water. Here are reported investigations of runoff from thin, 3-4 cm soil, extensive green roofs with sedum-moss in southern Sweden. The two-year study was performed on
A decision support system for watershed flood design purpose in China
The paper presents a computer-based decision support system for watershed planning and flood design purposes including a conceptual rainfall-runoff model. The software package uses up-to-date programing techniques in Windows environment which makes it flexible to handle, adaptable to new areas, and easy to test for different design criteria. The package is suitable for design problems in small as

Environmental Ambitions Meet Industry Protection : The Swedish Approach to Energy Taxation
Since the 1990s, economic policy instruments have become increasingly important to Swedish climate policy. To understand the characteristics of current systems, this paper presents an analysis of the development of economic policy instruments since the 1950s, with a focus on Swedish industry. Since the introduction of energy taxation, industry has received preferential treatment in the interests o

Early life exposure to cigarette smoking and adult and old-age male mortality: Evidence from linked US full-count census and mortality data
Background: Smoking is a leading cause of premature death across contemporary developed nations, but few longitudinal individual-level studies have examined the long-term health consequences of exposure to smoking.Objective: We examine the effect of fetal and infant exposure to exogenous variation in smoking, brought about by state-level cigarette taxation, on adulthood and old-age mortality (ages

The chapter extends the concept of the uncanny to conceptualize the affective experience which arises when our most intimate space, the home, is permeated with connected sensors and new machine vision technologies. This range of experience, we argue, which is intimately linked to the current age of ubiquitous computing and smart technologies, can be understood through the category of the technolog
Commentary on Renewed Swedish Censorship Laws (1684)
The first general censorship regulations in Sweden were issued in 1661 and 1662. Due to poor compliance and the expansion of the book market, they were repeated and reinforced in a renewed censorship statute in 1684. This was supplemented in 1688 with instructions for a newly established separate censorial office. Together, these two frameworks laid the foundation for the control of the book marke
A Sense of Ambient Entrapment in Hito Steyerl's Factory of the Sun
This article proposes the notion of ambient entrapment to conceptualize the affective experience of surveillance in the current age of ubiquitous computing and smart technologies. A sense of ambient entrapment is identified as a vague, yet pervasive feeling of a controlled environment saturated by surveillance and exploitation, where machine perception and algorithmic processes are hard at work. A
Commentary on The Swedish Freedom of the Press Ordinance (1766)
The ordinance installed the first legally sanctioned freedom of the press in the world and was preceded by decades of discussions, proposals, and investigations. The issued ordinance was a compromise between various interests; it was not the unlimited freedom of the press that many had hoped for. Prior censorship was abolished except for theological writings, but it was still forbidden to publish
The Haunting of the Automated Gaze
This article analyzes the artistic exploration of machine vision in the video installation Modern Escape (2018) by Danish artist duo Hanne Nielsen and Birgit Johnsen. The artwork recreates a modern Western home pervaded by surveillance technologies and the automated vision of a robotic vacuum cleaner. The main conceptual idea of the work is the automated gaze, and with few exceptions, all the scen
Calm Surveillance in the Leaky Home : Living with a Robot Vacuum Cleaner
Understanding the attachment owners can feel to their robot vacuums, which also map and collect data about their homes, is key to understanding the ambivalences involved in the integration of automated visualities in the home. Drawing on qualitative video interviews and observations of people interacting with their robot vacuums, this article identifies three key factors in understanding how cohab
Atmospheres of Surveillance
This dissertation is a contribution to the ‘cultural turn’ in the multidisciplinary field of surveillance studies. Its objective is to advance knowledge about how surveillance is perceived as bodily, emotional, and multisensory experiences - explored and conceptualized here as ‘atmospheres of surveillance’. The overarching argument is that surveillance contains and co-produces atmospheres. The stu
