Forty-two years ago, Stephen Hawking made predictions that radiation does escape from black holes. Known as “Hawking radiation” this phenomenon is too weak to observe with current techniques, and remained the “Holy Grail” for astrophysics. It has remained as such until recently when researchers led by Professor Steinhauer at the Israel Institute of Technology observed radiation emanating from an a
Media combinations of different basic media types are always, literally, intermedial combinations that involve intermedial relations between different forms of communication. This chapter looks at how words and images on pages convey a graphic narrative in comics. In the specific case of comics, scholars have attempted to categorize different types of interaction between words and images, which cr
The politics of landscape production involve questions about the power to define what landscape means, who or what belongs to landscape and who or what belongs in landscape. Asserting the right to participate in landscape production and thus to help steer landscape along desirable development pathways remains a core component of landscape politics and grows in importance as many societies experienc
When all citizens vote, the influence of radical parties decreases. Despite this being a central justification for compulsory voting in the past, it has been absent from contemporary debates. I examine the normative and empirical premises of the ‘moderation thesis’ in relation to radical right-wing populist parties today and suggest that, under certain conditions, compulsory voting can limit these
In total, 33 and 65 chrome-spinel (Cr-spinel) grains in the >63 and 32–63 µm size fractions, respectively, were recovered from 12 beds in two stratigraphically separated groups along the 240-m-thick Monte Acuto section of the Maiolica limestone in central Italy, spanning from the Berriasian to the early Hauterivian. The chemistry of these detrital spinels suggests they may represent windblown ophi
In 2014, Christian List and I published a paper that delineated our view regarding what it takes for an agent to act freely. We suggested that this requires the action to be endorsed by the agent and caused by this endorsement and yet not be necessitated. Free action requires indeterminism at the agential level—the kind of indeterminism that is compatible with physical determinism. I still think t
Money illusion was for a long time believed by most economists to be non-existent, despite previous large support for it, because it did not fit the neo-classical model of the rational individual. Using a survey to test students’ understanding of inflation as proxy for money illusion, this thesis aims to establish the existence of money illusion and develop an understanding of why some students ex

Automation is one of the key topics of the 21st century with many workers concerned about their jobs being replaced by machines. This has led to an ongoing debate to determine to what degree automation is occurring, and which occupations are going to be affected by it. This paper attempts to take a different approach which differs from mainstream authors by focusing on the tasks that each occupati

What is the relationship between structures of power and the spaces we inhabit? I will propose a description of how the relationship between work and housing has changed since the 19th century, and what relationships of power between worker and employer have been created as a result. I will use four case studies to highlight the changing city through the development of traditional capitalism in

The study aims at investigating how the identity of the volunteer is constructed in marketing and information materials from companies that are involved in the volunteer industry and if this is to be understood as a result of postcolonial power. This is conducted through discourse theory
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze how the EU is constructed discursively in their discourse about a possible Turkish EU-membership. This is done by drawing upon Torben Bech Dyrbergs (1997) theory on how identities are constructed relationally thorough the logic of difference and equivalence. The empirical material consists of progress reports released by the European Commission, and by spee
