Ungdomars engagemang i kulturföreningar och socialt kapital

Ungdomars engagemang i föreningsverksamhet och organisering förutsägs ofta á priori vara något bra. Mer sällan problematiseras frågan, t.ex. genom att ställa frågan vem som organiserar sig. Denna artikel utgår från litteraturen om socialt kapital och har bl.a. tagit intryck av Bourdieus modell för socialt kapital. I en ekonomisk modell med inspiration från Bourdieu kommer värdet av en individs so

Shock and Naturalization : An Inquiry into the Perception of Modernity

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen undersöker ”chock-modernitet” och ”naturaliserad modernitet” som två sätt att varsebli det moderna. Med natur avses en omgivning som tas för given och i vilken förändring sker inom ramarna för det kända och etablerade. Chocken stör eller bryter ner denna ordning. Begrepp och objekt tycks inte längre sammanfalla, utan uppenbarar istället vad Adorno kallar deIn sociology shock is often seen as emblematic of modernity. However, while Benjamin and Simmel famously portray the big city crowd - and by extension modernity itself - as an arena of shock, shock sensations are notable for their absence in depictions of the crowd as well as of modernity as a whole in much contemporary literature. This is evident in depictions involving streets, trains, technolog

On the Thresholds of Generalized LDPC Convolutional Codes Based on Protographs

A threshold analysis of terminated generalized LDPC convolutional codes (GLDPC CCs) is presented for the binary erasure channel. Different ensembles of protograph-based GLDPC CCs are considered, including braided block codes (BBCs). It is shown that the terminated PG-GLDPC CCs have better thresholds than their block code counterparts. Surprisingly, our numerical analysis suggests that for large te

Universitetsforskning och konkurrensproblem

Hur ställer sig samhället till en samverkan mellan universitetsforskare, som själva vill delta i den fortsatta kommersialiseringen, och industriella aktörer – dominanten eller utmanarna? Svaret har en tydlig EU-koppling och berör ett centralt satsningsområde för unionen, men hänsyn måste också tas till EU-rättens krav på att en effektiv konkurrens bevaras på viktiga innovationsmarknader. Vilka reg

Computer Aided Planning of Production and Working Environment

Success of design projects depends on their quality from a technical and economic point of view and on the quality of their implementation and use. This paper discusses a computer aided planning (CAP) technique and its applicability and quality in both these respects. One version of the CAP-technique is developed for planning of industrial working environments and another version for planning of r

Unreliable probabilities, paradoxes, and epistemic risk

Risk has become one of the main topics in fields as diverse as engineering, medicine and economics, and it is also studied by social scientists, psychologists and legal scholars. But the topic of risk also leads to more fundamental questions such as: What is risk? What can decision theory contribute to the analysis of risk? What does the human perception of risk mean for society? How should we jud
