Involutionary Growth in a Labour-Scarce Economy. A dialectic interpretation of the boom and bust of cocoa production in Ghana, c. 1890-1970
The use of the analytical tools of classic and neo-classic economics has played a significant role in the study of Africa’s economic history since the 1970s. In this paper, we summon this body of work under the paradigm of Smithian growth models. Although different in techniques and approaches, this work shares a use of markets as the organising principle of the study. The aim of this paper is to
Design of Voice Alarms-the Benefit of Mentioning Fire and the Use of a Synthetic Voice
Preliminary results from a study about voice alarms are presented in this paper. The purpose of the study is to explore both how messages should be worded and how they should be presented. The paper focuses on an introductory questionnaire study at an IKEA store and unannounced evacuation experiments at Lund University. The results of these activities suggest that it is preferable to mention the w

Privatisation of the IT Sector in Sweden
Popular Abstract in Swedish Populära tidskrifter och flertalet debattörer har alltsedan 80-talet hävdat att privatisering leder automatiskt till en förbättring av företagets effektivitet. På grund av dessa diskussioner har man litat mycket på marknadskrafter, då man trott att dessa krafter kan ombilda organisationer med goda effekter. Avhandlingen är en kritik mot dessa ansatser. Författaren försöThe majority of research on privatisation has been driven by, inter alia, economics. Some economists have argued that private ownership introduces capital market pressures into inefficient state bureaucracies. Private property rights are expected to maximise the incentives for management to achieve a high level of production efficiency. The argument put forward in this research is that in so far a

Optimum beamformers for uniform circular arrays in a correlated signal environment
By virtue of their geometry, uniform circular arrays (UCAs) are ideally suited to provide 360 degrees of coverage in the azimuthal plane. However, in a correlated signal environment, the well-known technique of spatial smoothing to mitigate the signal cancellation effect as seen in an optimum beamformer will not work since this technique is applicable only to uniform linear arrays. We show how the
Benchmarking e-learning in higher education and beyond
Benchmarking is a powerful strategic tool used to assist decision makers to improve the quality and effectiveness of organisational processes. Even in Higher Education nowadays, benchmarking is used as a tool for quality enhancement. This paper explores the results from a study on international benchmarking on elearning in higher education. The study explicitly showed the value and impact of the m

Feedback Scheduling of Model Predictive Controllers
The paper presents some preliminaryresults on dynamic scheduling of model predictive controllers (MPCs).In an MPC, the control signal is obtained by on-line optimization of acost function, and the MPC task may experience very large variationsin execution time from sample to sample. Unique to this application,the cost function offers an explicit, on-line quality-of-servicemeasure for the task. Base

Design of resonant tunneling permeable base transistors
We evaluate the performance of resonant tunneling permeable base transistors (RT-PBTs) by numerical simulations. Since the current is limited by the barriers, a design with a low doping level around the embedded gate wires is chosen to improve the transconductance. We evaluate the influence of the various geometrical parameters, to optimize the design for high frequency operation. We obtain a perf
Competitive Advantage Through Packaging Design? Propositions for Supply Chain Effectiveness and Efficiency
Packaging is becoming increasingly important from a marketing as well as logistics perspective, particularly for actors in consumer product supply chains. However, the role of packaging in creating or contributing to the competitive advantage of a company or a whole supply chain is still unexplored to a large extent. This is even the case in businesses where research has shown the benefits of cons
Metastable entangled states of atomic systems in macroscale: radiation dynamics and spectrum
Dynamics of spontaneous decay and corresponding emission spectrum areexactly treated for a system of two identical two-level atoms in 1D.Just a one-dimensional case is considered in order to maximally extractan information on mutual influence of spatially remote atoms through theradiation field. As a result, an effect is revealed and considered indetail that there exist stable (metastable) entangl

Preliminary Waste Management Plan of European Spallation Source
The European Spallation Source (ESS) is the European common effort in designing and building a next generation large-scale user facility for studies of the structure and dynamics of materials. The proposed schematic layout of the ESS facility is based on a linear driver (linac) directing the proton beam (5 MW of 2.5 GeV) of 2.8 ms long pulses with a 20 Hz on a tungsten target where neutrons are pr
