- In the armed conflict in Sri Lanka (1983–2009), the diaspora was actively involved, most importantly through its financial and political support to the Tamil separatists. This article explores the dynamics within the diaspora itself, looking at how conflict divides were maintained and reshaped outside Sri Lanka, but also at the possibilities for dialogue. It studies both Sinhalese and Tamils in the diaspora and enquires into their experiences of interaction with the ethnic other. Based on multi-sited fieldwork carried out during the latter phase of the war, it maps meeting spaces in the host countries and discusses how divides were entrenched or bridged in these spaces. The reversed majority–minority relations between the two groups are discussed, as are the perceptions that dialogue attempts can be a way of co-optation and an activity in which divides are confirmed rather than overcome.

- Gamma irradiation effects have been investigated on 4H-silicon carbide (SiC) bipolar junction transistors (BJTs), where the devices were exposed under different biasing regimes such as saturation, cut-off, active, reverse, and zero bias. Since bipolar transistors can be affected by dose rate, three different dose rates were used during irradiation tests. Characterization was performed on the transistors, without irradiation but in situ to avoid delays between irradiation and characterization. The study explores the relationship between biasing conditions and their impact on radiation-induced degradation of SiC BJT transistors. From these experiments, it is clear that 4H-SiC bipolar transistors can withstand high gamma doses, in the worst case less than 22% degradation of the current gain was seen for doses of up to 2 Mrad(Si).

Cyclical Clusters in Global Circuits : Overlapping Spaces in Furniture Trade Fairs

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article contributes to an understanding of temporary or event-based economic phenomena in economic and industrial geography by drawing on research conducted on the furniture and interior design industry. It argues that trade fairs should be seen not simply as temporary industry gatherings, but as central, though temporary, spaces for knowledge and market processes that symbolize microcosms of the industry they represent and function as effective marketplaces. It suggests that these temporary events should be viewed not as isolated from one another, but as arranged together in an almost continual global circuit. In this sense, trade fairs are less temporary clusters than they are cyclical clusters; they are complexes of overlapping spaces that are scheduled and arranged in such a way that spaces can be reproduced, reenacted, and renewed over time. Although actual fairs are short-lived events, their presence in the business cycle has lasting consequences for the organization of markets and industries and for the firms of which they are comprised.
