Organising Innovation : An ANT Inquiry of VINNOVA, SwedenMatusse, Anselmo January 2015 (has links)
If one types on the Google search bar knowledge society or innovation about 64 million and 408 million results are found, respectively. It is fact, a product. It is there. However, once this taken for granted “knowledge society” is scrutinised, several different actors, conflicting or agreeing, emerge. What once taken as a product “out there”, a cause, is now a process, a society in the making and its effects. In this study I seek to open these black-boxes, the taken-for-granted domains by “following the actants”, and describing their actions in relation to other actants, in a specific place and specific time and showing the effects these create. The study draws on the sociology of translation and focuses on assembling, bundling, or knitting pieces together which in turn create effects of organising with organising shape, and fame that we are familiar with, specifically VINNOVA. The study seeks to describe how VINNOVA has been constructed as a leading authority in innovation systems for sustainable development, by specifically describing the mechanisms VINNOVA uses to join different actors to construct a Swedish innovation system and the effects created by this movement from small to a leading innovation authority. While I draw from previous research on innovation systems that look at organisations as finished entities, in this thesis I take a step forward by examining VINNOVA not as a complete or finite entity but rather as an ongoing process of organising that is by nature precarious. The study highlights that VINNOVA is a precarious heterogeneous network which embodies a neo-liberal, thus business-oriented perspective on sustainable development, and it is by understanding how entities like VINNOVA grow and manage to crystallise their performances, despite overt contestation that different potential, possible and existing performances can also be brought to visibility. The study also shows how centres and peripheries are effects of the endeavours of constructing a globally connected world.

Why are the EU and the US Beginning to Find Common Ground on AI Policy Despite Early Disagreements?Coluccino, Rebecca January 2023 (has links)
This thesis explores the complex dynamics that drive the US and EU to cooperate on AI policy, despite their initial disagreements, in response to China's growing influence in the field. The central argument is that the shifting balance of power in AI, driven by China's capabilities and strategic initiatives, compels the US and EU to collaborate in order to maintain global standing. Utilizing a realist perspective on international relations, the study emphasizes the role of material factors and national interests in shaping state behaviour. To support its argument, the thesis examines the causal mechanism and entities involved in specific activities, ultimately concluding that the perception of China as a threat to their hegemonic stability in AI leads the US and EU to enhance collaboration on AI policy. The thesis also identifies areas for future research to further understand the geopolitical ramifications of AI development and policy.

Sounds of the Sacred : An Examination of Audio Guides in Religious Cultural Heritage Institutions in SpainHathcock, Anna Grace January 2023 (has links)
This thesis examines the role of audio guide technology in four different Spanish cathedrals: La Sagrada Família in Barcelona, Tarragona Cathedral in Tarragona, La Seo Cathedral in Zaragoza, and Palma Cathedral in Palma de Mallorca. The thesis presents data about the audio guides at each of these sites in two ways. In the first data presentation, the author gives an overview of their own personal experience as a tourist in the space, using ethnographic methods to evaluate the audio guide and make observations on the behavior of other visitors within the space. In the second data presentation, online reviews from tourists at all four of these churches are compiled and evaluated using qualitative analysis to identify common trends in order to understand how audiences perceive the audio guide systems. Additionally, this thesis presents an overview of previous research on audio guides, tourism in Spain, and religious cultural heritage, while giving special attention to how technology fits into religious tourism contexts. To analyze the data from both collection methods, the thesis relies on two different theories. The first, and most significant theory is Schafer’s concept of Soundscapes. This theory is applied throughout the thesis to understand how sounds in touristic cathedrals impact both secular visitors and religious practitioners. The second theory introduces various motivations concerning why tourists choose to visit religious cultural heritage institutions. By applying both theoretical concepts in the data analysis, this thesis is able to: identify the special circumstances that audio guide creators must consider when developing these systems in religious cultural heritage sites, understand how the current audio guide systems impact visitors at the four selected institutions, and present a list of recommendations to future audio guide developers working in the Spanish religious heritage context.

FÖRTRYCKARNA OCH DE FÖRTRYCKTA : En studie över konceptet ”Förtryckarna och de förtryckta” i Hizbollahs första manifestKarlsson, Joakim January 2022 (has links)
Denna studie har undersökt användandet av konceptet ”förtryckarna och de förtryckta” i Hizbollahs första manifest från år 1985 e.Kr. Syftet var att se betydelsen av konceptet i manifestet för att förbättra förståelsen över Hizbollahs motiv och roll i regionen. Frågeställningar för studien var: Hur används konceptet ”förtryckarna och de förtryckta” i Hizbollahs första manifest? Vilka identifierar Hizbollah som ”förtryckarna och de förtryckta” i manifestet? Använder Hizbollah konceptet ”förtryckarna och de förtryckta” i manifestet för att alliera sig med grupper som identifieras som ”de förtryckta”, för att på så sätt skapa ett gemensamt motstånd mot de parter som identifieras som ”förtryckarna”? Bakgrundsstudier gällande regionens historiska och religiösa miljö har bidragit med en kulturell kontext för Hizbollahs motiv. Ursprunget till konceptet ”förtryckarna och de förtryckta” har undersökts och studien kan fastställa att det har både religiösa och sekulära anor. Under tidigare forskning tolkar Alagha användningen av konceptet ”förtryckarna och de förtryckta” i manifestet som att Hizbollah gör ett politiskt närmande mot den iranska staten, (Alagha, 2012, s. 19.) Detta närmande överensstämmer med Mauriello och Marandis forskning som visar att konceptet har religiösa och sekulära rötter som har sammanförts i boken Wilayat al-faqih (Juristernas styre), författad av den islamska revolutionens ledare Ruhollah Khomeini, (Mauriello och Marandi, 2016, s. 63). Studien har använt en socialkonstruktivistisk teorimodell med en textanalytisk metod för att analysera hur Hizbollah använder konceptet ”förtryckarna och de förtryckta” i sitt första manifest. Utifrån studiens ramar har analysen påvisat att konceptet ”förtryckarna och de förtryckta” används av Hizbollah i sitt första manifest för att skapa ett ”vi mot dem ” perspektiv. I manifestet används konceptet för att skapa en gemensam identitet hos de tilltänkta sympatisörerna i Libanon. Målgruppen är i huvudsak den muslimska populationen i regionen. Konceptet används för att identifiera shia och sunnimuslimerna som de ”förtryckta” samt USA och Israel som ”förtryckarna”. Resultatet av studien är samstämmig med tidigare forskning.
