This book is the translation to Spanish of the book in Swedish from 2001 "Mellan åsikt och vittnesbörd. Amerika och Västerlandets arkaiska rötter". Comentario En América y las raíces arcaicas de Occidente se describe el nacimiento de Occidente como el resultado del encuentro entre Europa y el Nuevo Mundo. Al mismo tiempo se dibujan algunos rasgos del consiguiente desarrollo de la llamada Razón Oc

Discussions of the cultural economy often focus upon the movement of such things as signs, media images, fashion and their entanglement in economic processes, but less attention has been paid to the concrete ways in which cultural heritage is affected by the processes and conditions of commoditization. This paper focuses upon how two museums of Scandinavian heritage struggle with very different cu

With the “new economy” comes new requirements on all manufacturing and processing activities, including batch processing. The entire chain of activities – from order placement to delivery – must work seamlessly. This implies that batch processing must be dealt with in a wider concept. In batch systems of today there are generally no means for synchronization or coordination of activities outside t

When new constructs are added to a language there is a need for renovating existing programs to make use of the new constructs. We discuss how this can be done using object-oriented ReRAGs (Rewritable Reference Attributed Grammars), and exemplify with the transition from Java 1.4 to Java 1.5.

In the early 1990s xenotransplantation (XTP) was a promising biotechnology, with many countries prepared to take this research to clinical trials. It was also a technology associated with so many problems and risks that the researchers sought financial support to continue their XTP research. This was, in many ways, an international concern, as the researchers tried to collaborate to overcome those

A proposed blood treatment apparatus includes : a blood treatment unit (8), at least one fluid pump (14, 15) and at least one blood pump (1a, 1b). The blood treatment unit (8) is configured to receive untreated blood and fresh blood treatment fluid, and emit treated blood and used blood treatment fluid. The fluid pump(s) (14, 15) is(are) configured to pass blood treatment fluid through the blood t

Feedback control has been applied to computing systems, usually taking a designed system and closing a loop to adjust some of its parameters. However, the design of computing systems components as controllers have shown advantages with respect to state-of-the-art techniques, especially in the scheduling domain, where uniprocessor schedulers have been designed as discrete-time control structures.
