Project Maven is an AI-induced information technology for military applications initiated by the United States Department of Defence (DoD) in 2017 and originally signed on to a civilian contractor, namely Google. However, this initiative raised massive resistance from a substantial amount of Google employees, eventually leading to the contract's annulation. This article uses narrative analysis to

In Ostend, Rosa Barba presents Pillage of the Sea, 2021, a permanent sculpture. Barba has anchored an outsized cairn on the beach, imitating stones by pouring concrete in textile. The textile makes one think of the form of sandbags, with which Barba creates a type of imaginary barrier against the future rise in the sea level. Each stone symbolizes a city, the fate of which is threatened by climate

Software is at the core of digitalisation and is often claimed to play a central role in innovation and in shaping competition across industries and firms. There are yet few studies of the extent and nature of software development across firms. We employ a unique firm-level survey comprising 3,929 firms across Sweden to analyse the distribution and characteristics of firms that invest in software

This original proposal by the artist and filmmaker Rosa Barba is deployed in two spaces of the art center. In the nave, she conceives an in situ project, in connection with the research carried out during her recent residency at the Atelier Calder, located in Saché. The second part of the exhibition takes place in the black gallery and immerses us in a cinematographic space mixing images and sculp

Power electronic converters are pivotal while designing any charging scheme, regardless of the battery capacity and application. Nowadays, Power Factor Correction (PFC) converters have become popular for various battery charging systems due to their simple configurations. Single-Ended Primary-Inductor Converter (SEPIC) and Cuk PFC converters are preferred over buck-boost converters in this regard

I den här rapporten ges en sammanfattning av en del av resultaten och metoderna från projektet Klimatanpassning av väg och järnväg i strandnära områden. Projektet har finansierats av Trafikverket och syftar till att studera klimatrisker för kustnära vägar med avseende på översvämnings- och erosionsprocesser, samt hur den riskutsatta infrastrukturen kan skyddas genom hållbara och naturanpassade met

In this paper we explore cyber security practices in Swedish manufacturing firms. Manufacturing is being trans- formed by new technologies under the label of smart industry or industry 4.0. Most of these technologies are either digital themselves or depend on digital connectivity. Their use is made possible by electronic sensors, actuators, and other devices as well as by data-driven analysis. Thi

Forestation is expected to play an significant role as a terrestrial carbon dioxide removal technology in low-emission scenarios by storing carbon in the biosphere, thereby changing the physical properties of the land surface. To represent land use change, including afforestation and reforestation (AR), Earth system models (ESM) that contribute to the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6

We report on a twisted aromatic polymer,the first xanthene-based example bearing protonated imidazole groups. Its specialarchitecture enables superior ion selectivity, conductivity, and chemicalstability, providing excellent performance in both all-vanadium and iron-vanadiumredox flow batteries.

Contractile injection systems (CISs) are phage-tail-like nanosyringes that mediate bacterial interactions by puncturing target cell membranes. Within these systems, Photorhabdus Virulence Cassettes (PVCs) can translocate toxins across eukaryotic target cell membranes. The structure of a PVC has been described at atomic level and engineered to deliver diverse protein cargoes into non-natively-targe

The present study offers a first comprehensive, quantifiable overview of the geographical extent and scale of the cuneiform corpus. Though one of the oldest and longest-lived scripts in history, the sheer size of this corpus, being among the largest discrete bodies of written source material from the pre-modern world, is seldom properly appreciated. We review and evaluate past quantitative assessm

To Alan Walmsley, at sixty-fiveJarash (also Jerash, Greek Gerasa) ranks among the principal urban centres of Late Antique and Early Islamic Jordan. Despite being one of the most intensively investigated urban sites within the region, the history of Jarash during the Islamic ages, in particular after the massive earthquake of 749, remains a topic of profound disagreement. Drawing on previously unpu

Digitaliseringen och utvecklingen av en ny generation artificiell intelligens (AI) medför betydande förändring i ekonomi och samhälle. Men hur den förändringen ser ut beror inte bara på den nya tekniken, utan också på hur den till slut används. Tekniska framsteg har genom historien spelat en avgörande roll för långsiktig tillväxt och välståndsökningar, men produktivitetsökningar kommer inte gratis

The works, which consist of wooden planks mounted on steel supports, at first look deceptively like found objects, like standard industrial pallets. Upon closer study they are obviously handcrafted, not manufactured. Fredrik Værslev’s Garden Paintings first appeared in 2011. The planks themselves may be industrially made, but they are mounted manually and subjected to a variety of painterly techni
