- According to Paul Seabright, “the unplanned but sophisticated coordination of modern economies is a remarkable fact that needs an explanation.” In this paper, I explore what is remarkable about modern economies and investigate what Seabright identifies as the aspect “that needs an explanation.” Essentially, Seabright is interested in the fact that modern economies require a great deal in the way of trustworthy behavior (and trust) in order to function well—and these trust relations must operate specifically among “strangers”! The puzzle for him is how relations of trust (and trustworthiness) among strangers could conceivably have arisen from our tribal evolutionary past. I raise several queries about his diagnosis of this puzzle and of his answer to it.

- The requirements of distributed systems implemented using IoT paradigms include the sharing of a common time reference. When the applications are intended for industrial scenarios, the desired time synchronization uncertainty decreases, due to the real-time needs of this kind of systems. Currently, the most diffused way to obtain a time reference for an Internet connected device is to use NTP (Network Time Protocol) for querying time servers. This paper is focused on industrial IoT applications and it is aimed to evaluate the impact that NTP synchronization performance and NTP throughput may have on the real-time host network. Analytical formulas for estimating the NTP impact are introduced. The work is complemented by the presentation of a use case that shows the use of NTP for the synchronization of a large industrial plant at field level. The results highlight the threat to the real-time behavior of the automation system caused by the uncontrolled peaks of traffic due to NTP. Last, some design considerations for mitigation of the impact are discussed. © 2020 IEEE.

Nation in Market Times: Connecting the National and the Commercial. A Research Overview

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article provides an overview of the growing body of research pertaining to different forms of medi- ated nationhood. In particular, it focuses on the relatively recent trend toward increasing articulations of national identity with the language of consumerism and neoliberal market ideology. It argues that the process is twofold; on the one hand commercial entities employ nationalist appeals in order to sell their commodities, a process which is called “nationalizing the commercial”. On the other hand, nation states make advantage of advertising agencies to create attractive and competitive nation brands which is a pro- cess of “commercializing the national”. The article argues that this double logic is a result of the growing importance of the economic power in societies which can be named as "economization of the social". In the context where the political articulations of nationhood are subsumed by the commercial ones, the link between the national and the commercial is seldom challenged or questioned.
