Artistic research—research carried out by artists, through artistic practice—displays the markers of a burgeoning academic discipline. Dominant perspectives on research cultures would therefore predict that practitioners’ boundary work would play a decisive role in the development of this field. But when binary understandings come up against multiplex meanings, when and how do binaries matter? Foc
This special issue of Ethnologia Europaea explores new paths for our scientific disciplines within the expanding field of medical humanities. Medical humanities have seen a significant expansion in recent years, creating new research foci and leading to collaborations both within and outside of the humanities. As it is a growing academic field, we argue that it is necessary to be part of the medic
The article maps the pitfalls and affordances of automatic speech recognition in the study of audiovisual media and digital history more broadly. Three key topics are emphasized: first, the collaboration between scholars and audiovisual archives and the potential of automatic speech recognition to transform the way scholars navigate and engage with audiovisual media history; second, what knowledge
The intensive discussions of the digitalization of everyday life in the decades around 2000 often focused on how media invaded the home, reorganizing many mundane activities and sociabilities, creating new dependencies and skills of multitasking, as well as dangers of mental overload. Easily forgotten was how the new digital life was based upon a platform of domesticated media use created earlier.
This paper examines the effect of competition on a firm's choice of opening hours in the motor vehicle inspection market. Competition affects the incentive inspection firms face when choosing opening hours, which influences the probability that consumers find service time that best matches their preferred time. We use 2SLS analyses to resolve the potential endogeneity of market entry decisions. Us
A full-scale inside out hollow fibre membrane module was operated in a pilot-scale water treatmentplant in Sweden for a period of 12 months from August 2013 to July 2014. Liquid chromatography–organic carbon detection (LC-OCD) chromatogram indicated the membranes could effectivelyremove 86% of dissolved organic carbon and 92% of humic substances from the feedwater. Routinecleaning-in-place was con
Knowledge externalities affect high and low growth firms differently. This paper develops two theoretical arguments. The knowledge equilibrium argument postulates that knowledge externalities weaken high growth firms for the benefit of low growth firms until performance differences vanish. The knowledge competition argument proposes that high growth firms are better positioned to identify, attract
