Crime fiction has become one of Sweden's biggest cultural exports. In this chapter, we discuss how individual crime fiction writers are used as role models for how creative industries should function in both local and global contexts. They appear to be at the forefront of outreach to an international audience, how to market books and your own author brand through events, and how to make a successf
Despite its proven societal value, humanities knowledge tends to be marginalized in research policy; this has been a topic of debate for some time. In this chapter, we focus on the valorization of humanities knowledge, with the aim of comprehending the way this process engenders societal impact. We argue that historical impact stories offer an effective methodological approach for a deeper underst
The article discusses strategies adopted in Jonas Poher Rasmussen’s feature-length animated documentary Flee (2021) for crossing the cultural andemotional distance between audiences and the refugee protagonist Amin. Focusis on a central scene in which a group of Afghans sailing across the Baltic Seain the early 1990s encounters a cruise ship from Norway, the crew of whichreports the refugees to th
In the period leading up to the federal government’s May 2009 announcement of a paid parental leave scheme, there was a surge in community and media debate about the absence of such a scheme in Australia. This article explores whether this context had some bearing on bargaining outcomes during that time. We analyse data from the Australian Workplace Agreements Database to determine the incidence a
We introduce the parton cascade Alpaca, which evolves parton ensembles corresponding to single events according to the effective kinetic theory of QCD at high temperature formulated by Arnold, Moore and Yaffe by explicitly simulating elastic scattering, splitting and merging. By taking the ensemble average over many events the phase space density (as evolved by the Boltzmann equation) is recovered
Ionic microgel particles are intriguing systems in which the properties of thermo-responsive polymeric colloids are enriched by the presence of charged groups. In order to rationalize their properties and predict the behaviour of microgel suspensions, it is necessary to develop a coarse-graining strategy that starts from the accurate modelling of single particles. Here, we provide a numerical adva
This article argues, based on the work of Bakhtin and de Certeau, that there is no aesthetics without politics and that all academic discourse and practices are enacted through aesthetic forms with inherently political and ethical effects. The article is written in a script-form with indications on how to perform it, acting out or ‘performing’ in a direct way rather than adding to the arguments al
Qatar 2022 has become a symbol of sportswashing, a flagpost for discussions about accountability, responsibility, and morality within different sport disciplines, football being a prime example. “Moral violation” has been listed as the crime surrounding sportswashing (Fruh, Archer & Wojtowicz 2023, 103). After frenzied use of the word in connection to the last football world cup 2022, there c
In late 1922, the Indian revolutionary M. P. T. Acharya returned to Berlin from Moscow and joined the international anarchist movement. Straddling anti-colonial, anarchist, and pacifist circles in the interwar years, Acharya stands out as a distinctive figure within global revolutionary networks and broadens our conception of the global reach of the international anarchist movement. Staking out a
Focusing on the period from 1870 to 1960, this chapter provides an overview of anarchist approaches to anti-imperialism, offering examples of collaborations, solidarities, antagonisms and syntheses between anarchists and anti-colonialists from across the British, Spanish, French and Portuguese colonial worlds and within the imperial metropoles in Europe. Alongside anti-colonial resistances to thes
Providing a novel research methodology for students and scholars with an interest in dynasties, at all levels, this book explores the Spanish Habsburg dynasty that ruled the Spanish monarchy between c. 1515 and 1700. Instead of focusing on the reigns of successive kings, the book focuses on the Habsburgs as a family group that was constructed in various ways: as a community of heirs, a genealogica
Models for Non-Modelers focuses not on how to design models but on how to understand and critically appraise them. Data and statistical models are widely used in disciplines such as epidemiology, climate science and systems design, but it can be difficult for those without the necessary training to understand and implement them. This book is for non-modelers, especially social scientists. Through
This edited collection proposes instituting as a potentially critical methodology in curating, art making and social organizing today, and seeks to discuss forms and structures that take place inside and outside institutions. Rethinking of collective artistic and social practices through and beyond the “waves of institutional critique” this books discusses instituting as a process in continuous cr
Ekmanite is a member of the 2:1 type modulated layer silicates such as ganophyllite and bannisterite. Its chemical composition can be represented by K(M20)[Si32O76](OH)16 (M = Fe2+, Mg2+, Mn2+) where three of eight Si-tetrahedra are inverted across the interlayer sharing an apical oxygen with similarly inverted tetrahedra from the adjacent layers. The arrangement of the regular, D, and inverted, R
Synonymous (also known as silent) variations are by definition not considered to change the coded protein. Still many variations in this category affect either protein abundance or properties. As this situation is confusing, we have recently introduced systematics for synonymous variations and those that may on the surface look like synonymous, but these may affect the coded protein in various way
Gen Z, Tourism, and Sustainable Consumption is the first book to provide a comprehensive account of Generation Z in relation to sustainable consumption practices and travel cultures. Gen Z is regarded as the world’s largest consumer market. The growth and behaviour of this economically significant market will have enormous implications for the future development of the tourism industry and destina
False Discovery Rate (FDR) and the Bayes risk are two different statistical measures, which can be used to evaluate and compare multiple testing procedures. Recent results show that under sparsity FDR controlling procedures, like the popular Benjamini-Hochberg (BH) procedure, perform also very well in terms of the Bayes risk. In particular asymptotic Bayes optimality under sparsity (ABOS) of BH wa
