Combining Keynes and Schumpeter. Ingvar Svennilson's Contribution to the Swedish Growth School and Modern Economics
No full textIn a study of European growth in the interwar period, the Swedish economist Ingvar Svennilson integrated a Keynesian theory of cumulative growth with a Schumpeterian analysis of economic transformation. Svennilson emphasised that innovations and the use of new technologies had been stimulated by high demand and production growth. Svennilson’s strong commitment to "Vendoorn's Law" which actually was "Svennilson's Law", made it difficult to incorporate him in a Schumpeterian tradition. A synthesis between Keynes and Schumpeter with Svennilson as a mediator was also prevented by the decisive role of entrepreneurship and the critique of Keynesian models in works by Schumpeter and the Swedish growth school. However, a synthesis has been facilitated by neo-Schumpeterian theories of demand-led innovations and cumulative economic processes. Svennilson’s study has been superseded by later contributions to economics except for a theory of a negative, "Keynesian", relationship between unemployment and growth and an exceptional "un-Verdoornian" theory that high aggregate demand may lead to crowding-out of new firms from capital markets. Besides, Svennilson's integration of short run and long run macro analysis and of theoretical and empirical work is still a fruitful research strategy in economics.Innovations; Cumulative Growth; Productivity Growth; Verdoorn’s Law; Swedish Growth School
«Det absurde ved å være fanget i blodbankende materie»: Om rus og litteratur i Ingvar Ambjørnsens \u27Skogens hjerte\u27
No full textThis article explores Norwegian author Ingvar Ambjørnsen’s short story «The Heart of the Forest» from his collection Dark Dawn (1997) and focuses on the story’s prime experience, that of drugs. Peter Sloterdijk’s account of the historical development of drugs from the early Greek era to modernity is the theoretical framework. His understanding is found in Ambjørnsen’s short text, which also contains a notion of intertextuality. Therefore, the article highlights both literary (Vesaas) and philosophical references (Huxley). «The Heart of the Forest» is also the precursor for Ambjørnsen’s novel The Night Dreaming of Day (2012), which implies that the author sampled his own short story and gave it a pessimistic reinterpretation.Artikkelen undersøker Ingvar Ambjørnsens novelle «Skogens hjerte» fra novellesamlingen Natt til mørk morgen (1997) og fokuserer på fremstillingen av ruserfaringer som står sentralt i teksten. Utgangspunktet for lesningen er Peter Sloterdijks beskrivelse av den historiske utviklingen av ruserfaringer fra antikken til det moderne. Hans forståelse finner man også i Ambjørnsens korttekst, men denne omfatter dessuten en bestemt bruk av intertekstualitet. Herved fokuseres det både på litterære (f.eks. Vesaas) og idéhistoriske referanser (Huxley). «Skogens hjerte» ble i tillegg det intertekstuelle forelegget for deler av Ambjørnsens roman Natten drømmer om dagen (2012). På en måte ‘sampler’ forfatteren sin egen novelle, som får en mer pessimistisk omfortolking
Cottunculus
No full text[[Genus Cottunculus]] Among the approximately 29 species of fathead sculpins (Psychrolutidae) eight species are considered by Eschmeyer (2007) to belong to the genus Cottunculus Collett, 1875 (subfamily Cottunculinae), yet from a morphological analysis Nelson (1982, 1989) concludes that one of these, C. gyrinoides Weber, 1913, belongs to the subfamily Psychrolutinae (possibly genus Ebinania). The remaining seven species are all benthic and range in depth from shallow inshore waters to about 2200 m. They are distributed in the Pacific (C. nudus Nelson, 1989) and Atlantic oceans (C. granulosus Karrer, 1968; C. spinosus Gilchrist, 1906; C. thomsonii (Günther, 1882); C. microps Collett, 1875; C. sadko Essipov, 1937; C. konstantinovi Myagkov, 1991), C. sadko also in the Beaufort Sea (Nelson & Nakamura 1980, Nelson 1982, 1989, 2003, Fedorov & Nelson 1986, Myagkov 1991, Mecklenburg et al. 2002). While C. nudus, C. granulosus and C. spinosus are found in tropical waters or on the Southern Hemisphere, the other species range from tropical to northern temperate and arctic waters.Published as part of Ingvar Byrkjedal & Alexei M.

Glacier growing : a local response to water scarcity in Baltistan and Gilgit, Pakistan
No full textForfatterens navn på omslaget: Ingvar Nørstegård TveitenPeople in the districts of Baltistan and Gilgit practice ’glacier growing’ with the intention of making glaciers that will enhance water availability. This is done by carrying glacier ice from a naturally occurring glacier up to elevations over 4000 m a.s.l., where it is placed in a dug out cave in a scree-slope. Apart from the ice, gourds containing water are also added to interior of the cave. Then a layer of charcoal, and sawdust or wheat husks is put on top of the ice. The workers close off the cave by piling up rocks to cover the entrance. Connected to this practice is an elaborate system of knowledge that is handed down orally from generation to generation by means of stories and myths. This study is an exploration of the practice of glacier growing and of its implications for local perceptions on water management. Former studies on water management in the Northern Areas of Pakistan have been concentrated on the sophisticated system of irrigation canals which have been in use since ancient times.
Glacier growing is directed at increasing the water supply to these canals at times of the year when people experience water to be scarce.M-MNRS
Relativistic Many-Body Theory: A New Field-Theoretical Approach
No full textRelativistic Many-Body Theory treats — for the first time — the combination of relativistic atomic many-body theory with quantum-electrodynamics (QED) in a unified manner. This book can be regarded as a continuation of the book by Lindgren and Morrison, Atomic Many-Body Theory (Springer 1986), which deals with the non-relativistic theory of many-electron systems, describing several means of treating the electron correlation to essentially all orders of perturbation theory. The treatment of the present book is based upon quantum-field theory, and demonstrates that when the procedure is carried to all orders of perturbation theory, two-particle systems are fully compatible with the relativistically covariant Bethe-Salpeter equation. This procedure can be applied to arbitrary open-shell systems, in analogy with the standard many-body theory, and it is also applicable to systems with more than two particles. Presently existing theoretical procedures for treating atomic systems are, in several cases, insufficient to explain the accurate experimental data recently obtained, particularly for highly charged ions. This shortcoming is expected to be due to omission of combined QED-correlational effects, included in the new unified procedure. All methods treated in Relativistic Many-Body Theory are illustrated with numerical examples. The main text is divided into three parts. In Part I, the standard time-independent and time-dependent perturbation procedures are reviewed. Part II describes three methods for QED calculations, a) the standard S-matrix formulation, b) the Two-times Green’s-function method, developed by the St Petersburg Atomic Theory group, and c) the Covariant-evolution-operator (CEO) method, recently developed by the Gothenburg Atomic Theory group. In Part III, the CEO method is combined with electron correlation to arbitrary order to a unified MBPT-QED procedure. In this procedure the electron correlation can be included to high order, and therefore this procedure is expected to lead to faster convergence than treating the BS equation order by order. Ingvar Lindgren is also the author of the highly-cited "Atomic Many-Body Theory" book published by Springer
Ergonomics of Protective Clothing Proceedings of NOKOBETEF 6 and 1st European Conference on Protective Clothing held in Stockholm, Sweden, May 7-10, 2000
No full textThe European Directives on personal protective devices have increased the interest in protective and functional properties of work clothing and intensified standardisation work as well as stimulated research in areas with limited knowledge. There is a long tradition of research and information exchange in the Nordic countries on the subject. The NOrdisk KOrdineringsgruppe om BEskyttelseskläder som TEknisk Forebyggelsesmiddel (Nordic Coordination Group on Protective Clothing as a Technical Preventive Measure) was founded in 1984. NOKOBETEF is an independent society of professionals from the Nordic as well as other countries. NOKOBETEF has since its foundation organised symposia in Copenhagen (1984), Stockholm (1986), Gausdal, Norway (1989), Kittilä, Finland (1992), and Elsinor, Denmark (1997). The conferences have long had a good attendance from European countries and from overseas. The 6th Nokobetef conference was organised as the 1st European Conference on Protective Clothing to emphasize the European dimension. During the conference the European Society for Protective Clothing was founded. One of its first tasks will be to prepare for the 2nd conference to be held in Switzerland in 2003. The proceedings of this conference cover a broad spectrum of the subject protective clothing. Emphasis was given to the ergonomics aspects, which is in line with the present interest and priorities of the European standardisation bodies (CEN). A functional and comfortable use of protective clothing is a key element for a succesful implementation of this kind of preventive and protective measures in the workplaces. A total of 77 papers are presented in this book. They represent a qualified source of new, valuable and useful information for the advancement of the knowledge and the application of protective clothing
