Preferences for redistribution

We survey the literature on preferences for redistribution. We discuss different ways the literature has measured these preferences and review literature on the different determinants of preferences for redistribution. These range from institutions and demographic factors to fairness views and social preferences. Income inequality is, perhaps unsurprisingly, one of the most important determinants

Entrepreneurial universities’ metamorphosis : Encountering technological and emotional disruptions in the COVID-19 ERA

Entrepreneurial universities (EU) have received much attention over the last few years. Although the well-articulated contributions in the literature, empirical evidence substantiating the EU's disruptive responses in challenging times is scarce (e.g., crises, natural disasters, pandemics, Belic conflicts, or wars). This study theorizes the EU's metamorphosis due to technological/emotional disrupt

Spinal Post-operative Complications

Complications to spinal surgery are not uncommon. The type of complications may, in part, vary depending on the surgical procedure. Some complications may occur during the intraoperative procedure, while others are considered to be delayed and occur during the post-surgical recovery phase. The present chapter will focus on the more common acute and delayed post-operative complications related to s

Waiting in the welfare lines. Exploring everyday racism as waiting in the migration and unemployment complexes in England and Sweden : Väntan i välfärdens köer: Vardagsrasism som väntan i Englands och Sveriges migrations- och arbetsmarknadskomplex

This article explores how different layers of waiting shape the everyday lives of women asylum seekers in the UK and unemployed women in Sweden. We examine the continuity of waiting between and within the migration, labour and welfare complexes. The analysis identifies three layers of everyday waiting: everyday waiting as repetition, everyday waiting as forced and denied work and everyday waiting

If I tell you I will have to kill you : secrecy in public administration in a time of securitization and militarization

Critical security studies examine how everyday life is affected or transformed by practices that militarise civil society. This article addresses one such area: qualitative changes in the openness and transparency of public administration, instating a mode of suspicion and secrecy. The article is based on interviews and observations in the area of the total defence in Sweden, where we during three

Opportunities and challenges in implementing Smart Specialisation in Nordic ‘strong innovator’ regions

In this paper we consider the experience of implementing the Smart Specialisation Strategy (S3) in three regions in Finland, Norway and Denmark. We highlight the challenges each of these ‘strong innovator’ regions has faced in implementing S3. We elucidate the fact that each region faced different challenges when implementing S3. We extend a discussion around place-based policy, which is designed

Mixed embeddedness and entrepreneurship beyond new venture creation : Opportunity tensions in the case of reregulated public markets

The mixed embeddedness (ME) perspective offers a holistic approach to understanding entrepreneurship as embedded in a myriad of contexts. Alone, however, it is not capable of explaining the dynamic interrelations between entrepreneurship and opportunity structures beyond venture start-up. We offer a synthesis between ME and the dynamic states approach, using the concept of opportunity tension to e

Spectral edge frequency during general anaesthesia: A narrative literature review

Previous studies have attempted to determine the depth of anaesthesia with different anaesthetic agents using electroencephalogram (EEG) measurements with variable success. Measuring depth of anaesthesia is confounded by the complexity of the EEG and the fact that different agents create different pattens. A narrative review was undertaken to examine the available research evidence on the effect a

Dynamic recombinant relatedness and its role for regional innovation

Previous research has argued that related variety enhances regional innovation as inter-industry knowledge spillovers occur more easily between cognitively similar industries. In this study, we engage with empirical operationalization of what is ‘related’ in related variety. We argue, based on theoretical grounds, that estimating regional knowledge production functions requires related variety mea

Abstract in SpanishEl referéndum catalán del 1 de octubre de 2017 y la consiguiente crisis política han actualizado la urgente necesidad de diálogo, no solamente en la política sino también en el ámbito de la producción cultural. Las demarcaciones entre los estudios de la producción cultural en lengua española, por una parte, y los estudios de la cultura en catalán, euskera y gallego, por otra, si

Rättssociologiska reflektioner om skadeståndslagen

Detta kapitel är skrivet utifrån ett rättssociologiskt perspektiv på tematskadeståndslagen 50 år och kommer att ta sin utgångspunkt i Jan Hellnersovannämnda betänkande Rättssociologisk undersökning av skadeståndsrätten(SOU 1969:58). Den då dominerande rättsrealistiska förståelse av rättsordningensfunktion i samhället, vilken ligger nära rättssociologins fokuspå normer och betydelsen av social konf

Microfluidic Preparation and Transport of Long DNA using Pillar Arrays

This thesis presents a set of microfluidic tools and experimental studies for preparing (> 20 kbp) for genetic analysisas well as the transport of high-concentration, long-DNA solutions in pillar arrays.Long-DNA sample preparation with conventional gel-based techniques is slow (tens of hours to days) and laborious. Ifsize-selective separation is to be achieved, it is also expensive. Long-DNA prepa

Mass Consumption and Political Consumerism

This chapter focuses on the relation between mass consumption and political consumerism. Mass consumption concerns the omnipresent role of consumption in contemporary societies with associated problems of excessive resource use in current practices of consumption. The late modern context and forces of mass consumption can both trigger and prevent political consumerism as well as shape its outcome.

Current and historical factors drive variation of reproductive traits in unisexual mosses in Europe : A case study

Unisexual bryophytes provide excellent models to study the mechanisms that regulate the frequency of sexual versus asexual reproduction in plants, and their ecological and evolutionary implications. Here, we determined sex expression, phenotypic sex ratio, and individual shoot traits in 242 populations of the cosmopolitan moss Pseudoscleropodium purum spanning its whole distributional range. We te

Multiple paternity in the unisexual, haploid, leafy liverwort Porella platyphylloidea

We used isozyme markers to obtain an estimate of multiple paternity (mating of females with multiple males) in the unisexual, haploid leafy liverwort Porella platyphylloidea. From a sample of 119 plants, 15 (12.6%) were non-sex-expressing, 16 (13.4%) were females without sporophytes, 38 (31.9%) were males, and 50 (42.0%) were females bearing sporophytes. Thus, 87.4% of all plants expressed sex, an

The Act of Watching Documentary

In The Act of Documenting (2016), Winston, Vanstone and Chi connect production studies with reception studies in docmedia. This work signals how the act of documenting, a performative practice within the media industries, is intrinsically connected with the act of watching, a performative practice within cultures of viewing. There are challenges in conducting documentary audience research, in part

Entertainment Mobilisation : Nordic Noir Fans and Screen Tourism

Research on Nordic Noir inspired screen tourism addresses cross sector collaboration of television, publishing, tourism and leisure and the material places of screen tourism. We add to this research by specifically addressing mobility (e.g. movement or transportation) and motility (e.g. differential resources for mobility) within media, mobility and screen studies. In this chapter we explore how a
