Author Functions in Lars Kepler\u27s The Hypnotist: An Analysis
No full textThis paper examines Foucault\u27s notion of the author function as it pertains to Lars Kepler\u27s bestselling 2011 crime thriller, The Hypnotist. Lars Kepler is the pseudonym of a Swedish husband-wife writing duo, making him the perfect subject for analysis centering on illusory notion of the author. This paper will answer these questions: Who is the true author of The Hypnotist? What factors influence the author function of this bestelling novel? And what can The Hypnotist phenomenon tell us about the relationships between authors and their readers? This paper will demonstrate that no literary works may be ascribed to an individual person, and that authors hold no privileged knowledge of the works they produce, because authors cease to be authors the moment pen is lifted from page
”Lärda nyheter” i Peter Hernquists korrespondens till Carl von Linné och Abraham Bäck - med kommentarer och utvikningar
Get PDFI detta Meddelande nr 55 från Veterinärhistoriska museet har författaren - professor emeritus Lars-Erik Appelgren - gjort ett urval av den korrespondens som Peter Hernquist hade med sina mentorer Carl von Linné och Abraham Bäck under sin vistelse i Frankrike, varvid ”Lärda nyheter” varit en ledstjärna för urvalet. Speciellt har breven till Bäck försetts med författarens personliga kommentarer men även kompletterats med faktaupplysningar från andra källor än breven om berörda nyheter. För att underlätta läsningen har dessa kommentarer omgetts med enkelkonturerad och utvikningarna med dubbelkonturerad ram. Lars-Erik Appelgren har inte bara genom sitt veterinärhistoriska författarskap utan också genom att ställa sina fackliga kunskaper och sin eminenta estetiska läggning till förfogande gjort Veterinärhistoriska museet ovärderliga tjänster. Det är med stor glädje jag noterar att region Uppsala nyligen visat sin uppskattning genom att tilldela Lars-Erik sitt Medicinhistoriska stipendium med motiveringen att de vill ”lyfta fram ett viktigt men ofta förbisett område inom medicinhistorien: veterinärmedicinen”. Med de varmaste gratulationer
On closed‐shell interactions between heavy main‐group elements
No full textA series of di‐ and polymetal complexes involving closed‐shell, heavy main‐group atoms and ions shows a selection of special physical properties. These involve short metal–metal contacts, low entropies of formation and, most interestingly, strong Raman bands at low wavenumbers. These results together with the constitution of the coordination compounds, where the majority of electrons are assembled on the highly polarizable metal atoms and ions, experimental results have been interpreted in terms of direct, partial covalent metal–metal bonding. Previous theoretical studies have challenged this view and instead attributed the obvious attractive forces involved to secondary‐type of interactions, such as dispersion. This study utilizes a multitude of theoretical tools, such as natural bond order (NBO) and natural energy decomposition analysis (NEDA), non‐covalent interaction (NCI) analysis, electron localization functions (ELFs), and atoms‐in‐molecules (AIM) to characterize the interactions in models comprising closed‐shell dimers, as well as experimentally studied ring and cage systems constituting the main reason for the hypotheses on metal–metal interactions. The results show that all experimental results can be attributed to the covalent interactions between the electron‐rich, metal centers and the bridging anions in ring and cage coordination compounds of high symmetry, where the experimentally observed effects can be traced to the combination of covalent interactions between the metal centers and the anions along the edges of the ring and cage systems in combination with the cooperative effects generated by the high symmetry of these ring and cage systems
Iodine in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
No full textThis chapter discusses the role of the iodine-based redox systems in the three components of the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) separately; at the photoelectrode, at the counterelectrode, and finally in the electrolyte. It should be noted that essentially all information communicated refers to n-type DSSC devices, and that similar descriptions regarding the role of iodine is also be made for p-type DSSCs. Regeneration of the oxidized dye at the photoelectrode is a central process in the DSSC. Many different counterelectrode materials may be used in DSSC devices, such as conducting metal oxides, carbon materials, and metals. The DSSC device is conceptually quite simple, but the optimization of the device as a whole is a delicate matter involving several intimate and delicately dependent processes, in particular at the electrode surfaces. Iodide was not the only halide to be used in DSSCs. Bromide, with its oxidized companion-the tribromide ion-represents an alternative.</p
Interpreting Wage Bargaining Norms
Get PDFFrom the mid-1990s onwards, Swedish wage bargaining has been characterised by informal co-ordination of the wage claims of big unions and bargaining cartels. In particular, it has been understood that the manufacturing sector should lead by first agreeing on a pay increase, whereafter the service sector and public sector unions choose a similar increase. We analyse his setup with two possible theoretical interpretations: (i) the manufacturing sector as a tackelberg leader and (ii) a normative role for the manufacturing sector’s pay increase, upported either by unmodelled social pressure or a modeled loss aversion (envy) of the heltered sector unions. The conclusion of the analysis is that the normative or leading role of one sector – in the Swedish case the manufacturing sector – can potentially bring big benefits for employment and output. Generalising an idea suggested by Lars Calmfors and Anna Larsson, our analysis also generates a rudimentary theory of why the wage increase norm sometimes binds and sometimes not. A comparison of the model predictions and the observed outcomes of the last five wage bargaining rounds in Sweden suggests that the model is generally consistent with the empirical observations: wage moderation and norm observance are stronger when the manufacturing industry’s initial relative wage is low.wage bargaining; bargaining co-ordination
