This paper historicises and problematises the concept of the digital citizen and how it is constructed in Sweden today. Specifically, it examines the role of popular education in such an entanglement. It makes use of a genealogical analysis to produce a critical ‘history of the present’ by mapping out the debates and controversies around the emergence of the digital citizen in the 1970s and 198...

BACKGROUND Since the incidence of the histological subtypes of lung cancer in industrialised countries has changed dramatically over the last two decades, we reviewed trends in the incidence and prognosis in North America, Australia, New Zealand and Europe, according to period of diagnosis and birth cohort and summarized explanations for changes in mortality. METHODS Review of the literature ...

Natural rate misperceptions generated the potential of significant upward inflationary pressure in the late 1960s and 1970s. With the activist stabilization policy in place during this period, these misperceptions led to a series of persistent policy errors that inadvertently destabilized the economy and inflation expectations. We develop a model that highlights the interaction of these policy ...

In the West, Translation Studies as a discipline has a very short but lively history. Founded in the early 1970s in the Low Countries—Holland and Belgium—translation studies is a fairly new field. Yet, today some theorists suggest that the discipline is too limited to translated texts and excludes much translation data being generated from other fields of inquiry, including theater, art, archit...

The prolonged recession in Japan today stands in contrast to its high growth from the mid 1950s through the early 1970s and its booming prosperity from the late 1970s through the 1980s. The growth rate of the economy has sputtered in the 1990s and was even negative in 1997 (Yokoyama 1997). During the first quarter of 1998 Japan's gross domestic product declined at an annual rate of 5.3 percent ...

The core Indian monsoon region receives more than half of the rainfall extremes from low-pressure systems (LPSs), which typically form over Bay Bengal and propagate upstream against time-mean low-level westerlies. Yet, relationship between trends LPSs remains uncertain. Using two tracking algorithms reanalyses-derived LPSs, we find that LPS activity extreme exhibit coherent during post-1979 sat...
