Complex Structure around a Circumstellar Disk Caused by Interchange Instability by Masahiro N. Machida, Shantanu Basu

“…The structures extend to >1000 au and persist for at least 30,000 yr after protostar formation, demonstrating the dynamic removal process of magnetic flux during star formation. We find that the disk continues to grow even as interchange instability occurs, by accretion through channels between the outgoing cavities. …”

Norsk språkpolitikks janusansikt by Stian Hårstad, Brit Mæhlum

“… Artikkelen kaster lys over en påtakelig, men lite påaktet ideologisk dobbelthet i norsk språkpolitikk: Fra midten av 1800-tallet og iallfall et århundre framover foregikk det et stort nasjonalt arbeid med å gi det norske folk et eget norsk språk, og helt simultant gikk det for seg et annet nasjonalt arbeid som hadde som ambisjon å frata deler av befolk­ningen i det samme landet deres eget språk. I sentrum står en enkeltperson som var sterkt delaktig i begge disse prosessene: teologen og stortings­politikeren Vilhelm Andreas Wexelsen (1849–1909). …”

Understanding Open Knowledge in China: A Chinese Approach to Openness? by Montgomery Lucy, Ren Xiang

“…In attempting to position open access developments in China within a diverse and contested global landscape of open knowledge innovation we draw on Moore’s (2017) conception of open access as a boundary object: an object that is understood differently within individual communities but which maintains enough structure to be understood between communities (Moore 2017; Star and Griesemer 1989). Viewed as a boundary object, the concept of open knowledge is making it possible for China to engage with the global open knowledge movement, as a beneficiary of the innovation of others, and as an open knowledge innovator in its own right.…”
