Employability: Is it time we get critical?

This article encourages the media, and ultimately the public, to look more critically at the neoliberal notion of employability, which is discussed from a variety of angles, but is put under little critical scrutiny today.

Technology shifts and reallocation of labour: On the role of leading industries

In our paper we address a gap in the literature, identified by Silverberg (2007), who claims that we miss an objective criteria for identifying leading sectors associated with technology-induced structural change and measuring their effects on functioning of the economy. In particular, we analyse the role of leading industries in labour reallocation across regions as a mechanism of smoothing regio

Information fusion in electromagnetic sensing

We discuss information fusion in electromagnetic sensing with regard to the ISTIMES "Integrated System for Transport Infrastructure surveillance and Monitoring by Electromagnetic Sensing" project.

Philosophy of Interdisciplinarity: Problem‐Feeding, Conceptual Drift, and Methodological Migration

One way to bring order into the often muddled picture we have of interdisciplinarity is to sort interdisciplinary projects or aims by the kinds of element that interact in encounters between researchers of the two or more disciplines involved. This is not the usual approach. Since the early seventies and the publication of Erich Jantsch (1972), at least, the level of integration of the disciplines

Why internal validity is not prior to external validity: Paper presented at PSA 2012

In Persson & Wallin (2012) we show that the common claim that internal validity should be understood as prior to external validity has, at least, three epistemologically problematic aspects: experimental artefacts, the implications of causal relations, and how the mechanism is measured. Each aspect demonstrates how important external validity is for the internal validity of the experimental re

Comparison of resource efficiency of systems for management of toilet waste and organic household waste

Using a system analysis approach compares different systems for handling and treatment of toilet waste and organic household waste. Design issues considered are source separation of urine, use of vacuum toilets and advanced nutrient recovery processes such as Reverse Osmosis (RO). All of the studied systems have low emissions of eutrophy ing compounds. Other environmental effects are mainly relate
