Competing conventions: The Big Branders’ struggle to incorporate new quality conceptions in the Norwegian food market
No full textThe paper addresses recent changes in the Norwegian agrifood industry from the analytical perspective of quality conventions. Storper and Salais’ “worlds of production” plus Boltanski and Thévenots’ “orders of worth” are used as a basis for the empirical study. First, the paper discusses how the largest Norwegian branders try to strategically adapt to “novel” quality attributes like health-enhancing food, origin/terroir, environmental sustainability and ethics. Second, the paper investigates the companies’ quality signalling strategy: How are these “novel” qualities communicated to consumers? Multiple options are available: Do they attempt to systematically incorporate “novel qualities” into their private brand equity (“conventionalizing qualities”)? Do they prefer a co-labelling scheme with a third party control, or do they use any other measures for quality signalling? The paper thereby discusses how the largest Norwegian branders in the food sector cope with conflicting and competing quality conventions.Food quality, economics of convention., Food Consumption/Nutrition/Food Safety,
The Worldview and the Author´s (Self)Reflection in Czech Contemporary Historiography
No full textCílem studie je představit možnosti, jak na základě publikovaných autorských textů zkoumat světový názor historiků a historiček, zejména v oboru soudobých dějin, kde lze předpokládat vliv jejich hodnotového horizontu na interpretaci relativně nedávné minulosti. Autor nejprve vymezuje pojetí světového názoru vzhledem ke stanovenému záměru a zdůvodňuje analytické užití tohoto pojmu v historiografickém textu, v daném kontextu se také zamýšlí nad vztahem paměti, dějin a historiografie. Konstatuje, že poměrně málo českých historiků a historiček dosud reflektuje vztah (individuální či kolektivní) paměti a práce dějepisce, zvláště s ohledem na jeho pozici v současné společnosti, která bývá často redukována na roli objektivního „objevitele historické pravdy“. Taková (sebe)reflexe předpokládá přiznání vlivu individuálního světového názoru historika (komplexu názorů a postojů formovaných výchovou, vzděláním, vzpomínkami, generační příslušností a podobně) na jeho vědeckou činnost. Autor studie nabízí dvě možné a vzájemně se doplňující cesty k poznání historikova světového názoru: jednak prostřednictvím vlastních svědectví a prohlášení z jeho osobněji laděných textů a egodokumentů (eseje, rozhovory, vzpomínky, příspěvky na sociálních sítích), jednak analýzou jeho vědeckých textů (časopiseckých studií, knižních monografií, recenzí). Oba přístupy autor dokumentuje na konkrétních příkladech z produkce historiků a historiček českých soudobých dějin. V závěru studie pak nastiňuje cíle a smysl zkoumání historikova světového názoru.The aim of this study is to present the opportunities for research into the worldview of historians, especially historians focused on contemporary history, where it can be assumed that their set of values may influence their interpretation of the rela-tively recent past. The author first defines the notion of worldview and justifies the analytical use of this concept in historiographical texts. He also considers the relationship between memory, history and historiography in the given context. The author states that not many Czech historians have so far reflected on the relationship between (individual and collective) memory and the work of the historian, especially with regard to his or her position in contemporary society, which is often reduced to the role of an objective “discoverer of historical truth”. Such (self)reflection presupposes the acknowledgement of the influence of the historian’s individual worldview (a complex of opinions and attitudes shaped by upbringing, education, memories, generational affiliation and so on) on his or her scholarly activity. The author of the study offers two possible and complementary ways to learn about the historian’s worldview: first, through his or her own testimonies and statements from more personal texts and ego-documents (essays, interviews, memoirs or social me-dia posts), and second, through the analysis of his or her scholarly texts (journal studies, monographs and book reviews). The author demonstrates both approaches with concrete examples of works by historians of Czech contemporary history and concludes by outlining the aims and purpose of examining the historian’s worldview. © 2022, Institute of Contemporary History of the Czech Academy of Sciences.

Skyddet av kulturvärden i omställningen till ett koldioxidneutralt samhälle [Elektronisk resurs] : – En studie av det rättsliga skyddet av kulturvärden mot installation av solceller i plan- och bygglagen respektive kulturmiljölagen
No full textInstalling solar cells on rooftops is a common measure for reducing a building’s external energy consumption and increasing the proportion of renewable energy in the energy system. However, installing solar cells can mean that the general interest in preserving cultural value is negatively affected. This article describes the protection of cultural value by examining the legal protection of cultural value of church monuments according to the Historic Environmental Act (HEA) and “particularly valuable” buildings according to the Planning and Building Act (PBA). Following a general description of the legal protection of culture value follows a presentation of how the protection of cultural value relates to the installation of solar cells in the application of the respective legislation. The article concludes with an analysis of how strong the protection against distortion is for church monuments and “particularly valuable” buildings. The author has found that there are differences in which arguments are given importance for whether a solarcell installation may take place. The author suggests that neither arguments about the reversibility of the installation, nor environmental and climate justifications should be taken into consideration with regard to the design and purpose of the legislation. The author also argues that the protection against distortion, in theory, is stronger for “particularly valuable” buildings, according to the PBA, than for church monuments, according to HEA.This is especially true since the “use value” of a church is credited with the cultural value of the church. However, the author suggests that a distortion should rarely be allowed, since alternative solutions should be possible. Hence, a distortion of cultural value through the installation of solar cells is not a necessary measure – neither for the climate nor the church’s continued operation. </p
NEW GAMS RESULTS ON MESON SPECTROSCOPY
No full textResults on meson spectroscopy obtained in 1993 by the GAMS Collaboration are presented. Model-independent measurements of the omega --> etagamma decay branching ratio, as well as the observation of the X(1740) state in the K(s)0K(s)0 decay mode, are considered. The results on the partial-wave analysis of the omegapi0 and pi0pi0 systems produced at small momentum transfer in pi-p charge-exchange reactions are discussed. The experiments on resonant etaeta-system production on a central region of the pp interaction are also discussed
GAMS RESULTS ON THE OMEGA-PI(0) SYSTEM
No full textThe first results on the omega-pi-0 system produced in the charge-exchange reaction of pi--p scattering at 38 GeV/c and 100 GeV/c are presented. The omega-pi-0 mass spectrum shows, alongside with the well-known b1(0) (1235) and rho-3(0) (1690) mesons, a new neutral state with mass 2200 +/- 20 MeV and width 260 +/- 50 MeV. This meson, X(2200), is produced like rho-3 through one-pion exchange. X(2200) is a candidate for the 1-- multiplet, and its possible interpretation is a 2(3)D1 excitation of the rho-0. Its production cross section at 3 S GeV/c is equal to sigma(pi--p --> Xn) . BR (X --> omega-pi-0) = 120 +/- 25 nb. Cross sections for b1 and rho-3 have also been measured. The energy dependences have been determined
