- Discrete Event Simulation (DES) is a well-reputed tool for analyzing production systems. However, the development of new production system concepts introduces challenges from uncertainties, frequent concept changes, and limited input data. This paper investigates how DES should be applied in this context and proposes an adapted simulation project methodology that sets out to deal with the identified challenges. Key adaptations include parallel and iterative methodology steps, and close involvement of the simulation team in the development of the new concept. The proposed methodology has been applied and evaluated in an industrial case study during the development of a new production system concept. The findings show that the methodology can reduce the impact of the identified challenges and provide valuable feedback which contributes to the development of both the simulation model and the production system concept. Further, an evaluation of investments in new technology can be better facilitated.

- Karl Berglund, Department of Literature, Uppsala UniversityMats Dahllöf, Department of Linguistics and Philology, Uppsala UniversityJerry Määttä, Department of Literature, Uppsala UniversityApples and Oranges? Large-Scale Thematic Comparisons of Contemporary Swedish Popular and Literary FictionThe aim of this article is to compare thematic trends in contemporary Swedish bestselling and literary fiction with the help of a computational method—topic modelling—which extracts content themes based on statistical patterns of word usage. This procedure allows us to identify trends and patterns that are not easily discovered through manual reading. We track topics in two subsets of Swedish fiction from the period 2004–2017: 1) prose fiction on the Swedish bestseller charts, and 2) prose fiction shortlisted for the August Prize (arguably the most prestigious Swedish literary prize). The results confirm several assumptions about contemporary popular and literary fiction, such as more plot-focused themes in popular fiction and themes more connected to settings in literary fiction. But the outcomes also provide new, and more surprising knowledge, such as food and economy being the most biased themes among the non-crime fiction bestsellers, whereas themes concerning nature are most biased in the literary realm. Moreover, themes relating to sex, intimacy, and violence are biased towards literary fiction rather than popular fiction. In the light of our findings, we argue that both popular fiction and literary fiction seem to be characterised by certain thematic attributes that make it relevant to discuss them as genres also on a textual-thematic level.

Audiobook stylistics : Comparing print and audio in the bestselling segment

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The paper explores differences between bestsellers in print and the most popular audiobooks ina subscription-based streaming service for books (“beststreamers”) by means of computationalstylistics. The point of departure is the complete set of print bestsellers and digital audiobookbeststreamers for the Swedish book market 2015–2019, in total 172 novels. We probed 34linguistic measures to track differences between subsets at the stylistic level. The results indicatethat there are pronounced differences between the formats. Print bestsellers are longer,syntactically more complex and varied, and seem to focus more on depiction. Beststreamingaudiobooks, by contrast, are shorter, more straightforwardly written, and appear to highlight plotand dialogue. The results are replicated when the comparison is restricted to crime fiction, themost prominent genre in the commercial top segment. Given these results, it is argued that it ispossible to discern a particular audiobook style as one factor affecting book consumption indigital formats, and conversely that the printed format is associated with other stylistic preferences.
