USAID has also allocated hundreds of millions of dollars to anticorruption and governance. At the same time, there exist grassroots anticorruption initiatives, many of whom are linked to the international NGO Transparency I

New advances in soft magnetic materials - properties of moulded flux conductors in inductors and electrical motors

A new technology has emerged the last decade, based on a new group of materials; Soft Magnetic Composites (SMC), instead of laminated steel that facilitates production of products with more integrated, smaller, lighter, less costly and highly efficient electromagnetic machines. The application of this technology is a change of paradigm regarding integrated design and energy efficiency. This articl

From Cue to Recall : The Temporal Dynamics of Long-Term Memory Retrieval

Popular Abstract in Swedish En av de mest fundamentala funktionerna för vårt långtidsminne är funktionen att kunna plocka fram ett specifikt minne när vi stöter på en ledtråd som är relaterad till detta minne. Ett vardagsexempel på sådan ledtrådsstödd långtidsminnesframplockning är om en vän frågar dig hur långt ett maraton är (en ledtråd som sökningen i långtidsminnet kan baseras på) och du lyckaA fundamental function of long-term memory is the ability to retrieve a specific memory when encountering a retrieval cue. The purpose of this dissertation was to further our understanding of such cued recall by investigating the temporal dynamics from the presentation of the retrieval cue until the target memory is recalled. Retrieval cues are often related with several memories. When such a retr

History and philosophy of science as an interdisciplinary field of problem transfers

In this paper we return to Ronald Giere (1973) and his claim that history of science as a discipline cannot contribute to philosophy of science by providing, partial or whole, solutions to philosophical problems. Let us suppose that Giere was right. Would the implication be that there can be no genuine interdisciplinarity between the two disciplines? In answering this question it is first suggeste

Spatial evolution of knowledge-intensive ICT services in Sweden: On the role of mobile entrepreneurs

The paper investigates the role of mobile entrepreneurs in spatial diffusion process of a rapidly expanding industry using the case of the knowledge-intensive ICT-services in Sweden over 1990-2010. The main contributions of this study are twofold. On the one hand, paper contributes to entrepreneurship research by showing that the spatial origin of an entrepreneur should be analysed not only in ter
