"Publish or perish” or “publish and be damned”? A case study on a reluctant monarch and privacy related issues in journalism

The geology of mankind? A critique of the Anthropocene narrative

The Anthropocene narrative portrays humanity as a species ascending to power over the rest of the Earth System. In the crucial field of climate change, this entails the attribution of fossil fuel combustion to properties acquired during human evolution, notably the ability to manipulate fire. But the fossil economy was not created nor is it upheld by humankind in general. This intervention questio

We will be different! Ageism and the temporal construction of old age

Abstract in UndeterminedAgeism has been described as different from other forms of discrimination and paradoxical in the sense that "nonold" people discriminate against their "future selves." The argument of this article is that nonold people may uphold ideas about older people as "the other" by constructing their own future selves as "essentially different" from that of older people of the presen

Dynamic Economic Growth as a Constraint on Elite Behavior

Institutional economics has produced a string of findings about the importance of good institutions for economic growth and development. While consensus is lacking about how important institutions are, few scholars argue that institutions have no impact whatsoever. Yet, for all the knowledge produced, the results of institutional reforms are meager. This is not surprising as a central theme in the

Explorations in Cognitive Robotics

We describe a number of research projects at Lund Univer- sity Cognitive Science. The first project focuses on visual attention. The second area is haptic perceptions by robots. The third area is anticipation in groups of robots. The final research area concerns building computa- tional tools that can be used to design large-scale cognitive models which will ultimately allow results from the diffe

Silica: an essential nutrient in wetland biogeochemistry

Recent research has emphasized the importance of terrestrial ecosystems in the global biogeochemical cycle of silica (Si). The production, retention, and dissolution of amorphous silica of biological origin in soils and vegetation effectively control terrestrial Si fluxes. However, surprisingly little is known about the role of wetlands in these processes. Wetlands are known hotspots for both nitr

Existential Meanders of Bloody Ignorant Apes : Waiting as the Organising Principle of Existence

“People are bloody ignorant apes” (Beckett 1986, 15), says Estragon pacing back and forth under a bare tree in the first act of Beckett’s Waiting for Godot. Regardless of whether this statement is addressed to his unlucky fellow, Vladimir, sitting right by his side, or whether he just blurts it out without any purpose at all, he inadvertently includes two terms in it. Combined, they provoke a ques
