Globalism and National Sovereignty in the Globalization Movement. With a focus on the Swedish Movement Context

How much is "anti" in the "anti-globalization" movement? And how much is "pro", and for what? In this paper I will analyze some common features, and divisions between organizations in the so called anti-globalization movement, with focus on the political articulations and different ways of political struggle. How is a common identity and a common adversary of the disparate movements constructed wi

Controlling Linux in a Nice Way

Computing systems are becoming more and more complex and powerful. It is nowadays even possible to run several server applications on the same platform, i.e., virtual servers. This has given rise to a need for resource reservation techniques so that tasks do not interfere with each other. This paper presents a scheduling environment that facilitates the possibility to create virtual CPUs and CPU-b

A Planning Tool Prototype for Environment Adaptations

In the area of adapting/constructing homes and workplaces for the physically disabled, a computer-based planning tool has been prototyped and evaluated. The prototypes so far have been based on Macintosh computers and commercially available 3-D modeling and multimedia programs. Six case-studies formed the basis for user-oriented prototyping and evaluation. The present prototype was found useful in

Professional Digital Encyclopaedias as Socio-Technical Systems

This paper presents on-going research on the production of knowledge in contemporary professional digital encyclopaedias. By adopting a theoretical perspective that considers the interplay of humans, non-humans and practices at the same level, it develops further a socio-technical perspective on knowledge production. Methodologically, the project involves an ethnographic study staring from two edi

Creativity and workplace attractiveness in professional employment

This article investigates the notion of attractive workplaces in the specific context of creative professional employment. The concept of an attractive workplace is explored as that where employees are rewarded by having their creative needs satisfied. Based on observations and interview data at knowledge-based firms in the UK, we look at the extent to which employees are ‘rewarded’ with the offer

Using Multi-Bend Achromats in Synchrotron Radiation Sources

Multi-bend achromats offer small electron beam emittance, large energy acceptance and a good dynamic aperture. Two examples are discussed below, each using 7-bend achromats; a 12 achromat lattice and a 20 achromat one. Some possible technical solutions associated with the dense lattices are discussed: magnet technology, vacuum system and RF system. Some characteristics of the two rings are also p
