The aim of this chapter is to illustrate the latent functions of projectification using local government practices as an example and explore organisational consequences of an increasing reliance on a project logic.

The interaction between localized and extended vibrational modes in solids is of central importance in understanding how local vibrational modes (LVMs) decay into phonons. In this study, we have investigated interstitial oxygen (O-i) in silicon as a model 'laboratory' for such local-extended mode interactions. Using hydrostatic pressure and infrared spectroscopy, we brought the stretch mode of O-1

Industrial mining transforms local landscapes, including important health determinants like clean water and sanitation. In this paper, we combined macro-level quantitative and micro-level qualitative data to show how mining projects affect water infrastructures and ultimately the health of affected communities. Although we observed a positive trend of water infrastructure in mining settings, surro

Benchmarking has received much attention in local government. However, since benchmarking within a networking environment is quite a recent phenomenon, there is a need for better understanding of the impact of these networks on local government. This article describes municipal benchmarking networks and analyzes and categorizes variations in action and performance among municipalities participatin

This introductory chapter sets the scene for the book theme and presents the main book contributions and take-aways. It first briefly overviews the entrepreneurial ecosystems and the innovation systems frameworks focusing on their central topics, evolution and practical applications. It proceeds to highlight the ways the two concepts can (and in many cases should) learn from each other. This discu

In the present study, experimental studies are carried out to investigate the heat transfer and friction characteristics in a square duct roughened by various-shaped ribs on one wall. The ribs are oriented transversely to the main stream in a periodic arrangement. Liquid crystal thermography is employed to measure the local and average heat transfer coefficient on the ribbed surface. The rib heigh

PalCom is a pervasive middleware that enables users to combine the services on devices into useful configurations. Interconnected PalCom devices can discover, and keep track of, the existence of each other by exchanging periodic heartbeats within local networks, and once-sent device appearance/disappearance notifications across interconnected networks. This approach has the advantage of eliminatin

In this paper, we present a framework for doing localization from distance measurements, given an estimate of the local motion. We show how we can register the local motion of a receiver, to a global coordinate system, using trilateration of given distance measurements from the receivers to senders in known positions. We describe how many different motion models can be formulated within the same t

This paper estimates monetary policy shocks for Sweden between 1996-2019. I employ the Romer and Romer (2004) (R&R) approach and use annual forecasts of output growth and inflation to estimate monetary policy shocks. I complement the analysis with shocks from a recursive VAR including output, prices, and the repo rate, as well as a set of high-frequency shocks. A comparison of the three sets o

Representing 3D shape deformations by high-dimensional linear models has many applications in computer vision and medical imaging. Commonly, using Principal Components Analysis a low-dimensional subspace of the high-dimensional shape space is determined. However, the resulting factors (the most dominant eigenvectors of the covariance matrix) have global support, i.e. changing the coefficient of a

IMPACT: Municipally owned corporations (MOCs) exist across the globe and have become increasingly common. They are motivated by the need for flexibility, a desire to cut costs and to increase efficiency. This article summarizes Swedish experiences with MOCs. It shows that the stated motivations are not necessarily wrong, but that relying heavily on MOCs may have unintended and adverse side-effects

Tourism has become an important engine for development, especially in more remote areas. The potential of cultural tourism for sustainable tourism developing was explored in the H2020 funded TExTOUR project. A total of eight territories developed action plans based on their local heritage for sustainable tourism development. This article situates the actions created through the participatory TExTO

Bone and soft tissue tumors are very frequent. Less than 1% of them, however, are malignant, so-called sarcomas. Among these sarcomas, more than 50 different subtypes have been discerned, each individually rare and with its own biological and clinical features. Despite numerous breakthroughs in the last few decades, the proportion (around 1/3) who cannot be cured remains too high. Thus, better app

THEME 2025-2026 Swedish forestry stands at a crossroad. While intensive forest management supports a strong export industry, growing concerns are being raised about biodiversity loss, sustainability, and compliance with environmental objectives. These conflicting views have led to increased polarisation – rooted not only in policy differences, but in the language and emotions shaping public and po
