Fakulteten noterar att förslag nu läggs – mer än ett år försenat – för genomförande av direktivet, men att ny lagstiftning inte avser att träda i kraft förrän den 1 juli 2002. Det är alltid beklagligt med förseningar i genomförandet av central gemenskapslagsstiftning. Utrymmet för den svenske lagstiftaren att skapa egna nya lösningar begränsas av det detaljerade direktivet. Sverige måste uppfylla

Remissvaret invänder mot ständigt återkommande detaljförändringar av den svenska konkurrenslagstiftningen. På Europaplanet pågår en viktig moderniseringsprocess. Konkurrensverket bör ges befogenhet att tillämpa reglerna direkt i sin verksamhet. Relationerna mellan EG-regler och svensk rätt behöver tydliggöras för att eliminera risker för konflikter. Kosmetiska förändringar av den svenska rätten i

Past studies have repeatedly demonstrated the technical feasibility to produce polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) using bacterial biomass of mixed microbial cultures (MMCs). Commercial quality grades of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate), PHBV, can be produced with control of average monomer composition. However, demonstration of PHBV production and recovery with quality control of molecular wei

Cross-cultural studies have found national differences in how concerned people are about online privacy. However, it has not yet been settled what causes this variation, and several factors have been proposed in the literature, including internet habituation, individualism, and uncertainty avoidance. Here we investigate these factors by two studies. In the first, we examine the association between

In recent decades, the technological innovation systems (TIS) framework has been applied to the study of technology development and diffusion. While policy is considered a key element of TIS analysis, less attention has been paid to the influence of TIS dynamics on policymaking. To better understand the coevolution between TIS and policies, this paper develop an analytical framework to highlight t

We obtain large n asymptotics for the m-point moment generating function of the disk counting statistics of the Mittag-Leffler ensemble, where n is the number of points of the process and m is arbitrary but fixed. We focus on the critical regime where all disk boundaries are merging at speed n − 1 2 , either in the bulk or at the edge. As corollaries, we obtain two central limit theorems and preci

This book is about projectification – a concept that captures the increasing reliance on “the project” in contemporary societies, governance and economies. Despite its significance, this development and transformation, not only of public and private organizations but also our working environment and way of living, has received little scholarly attention compared to other major societal movements.

The aim of this chapter is to illustrate the latent functions of projectification using local government practices as an example and explore organisational consequences of an increasing reliance on a project logic. Inspired by the institutional logic perspective, local government and their organisations are studied as sites where several, coexisting institutional logics are ‘available’ for civil sThe aim of this chapter is to illustrate the latent functions of projectification using local government practices as an example and explore organisational consequences of an increasing reliance on a project logic.

This chapter introduces the concept of projectification, a concept that aims to capture an increasing reliance on ‘the project’ in our contemporary societies and economies. A project is often thought of as a temporary endeavour undertaken to create a unique product, service or result. However, sometimes ‘the project’ refers to something less tangible, to a discursive theme in contemporary society This chapter introduces the concept of projectification, a concept that aims to capture an increasing reliance on ‘the project’ in our contemporary societies and economies.

Path development and path creation are prevalent concepts in efforts to understand regional economic change and innovation. A recent focus has been on ‘green’ path development: industrial change associated with environmentally beneficial products and services. This provides a moment to take stock of the path development literature to date and ask: What or who is it for? In this article we use the
