Major companies in the mining industry are strategizing to benefit from the expected rise in demand for energy"transition minerals" that underpin current technologies of decarbonization (such as batteries and wind turbines).This article elucidates their current strategies of accumulation through the case of BHP, the world's largest miningcompany. We draw on political ecology and commodity frontier

Syftet med rapporten är att översiktligt analysera om alternativa organisations- och finansieringsformer, som är möjliga att tillämpa inom ramen för svensk lagstiftning, kan ge större nytta i termer av högre kostnadseffektivitet, snabbare genomförande och mindre eftersatt underhåll än traditionella offentliga upplägg, inom området transportinfrastruktur. Studien avgränsas till den transportinfrast

Ménards metod är en bok om bebyggelsehistoriska studier. Begreppen rekonstruktion och inlevelse står i centrum. Vad innebär det att rekonstruera? Och vad är egentligen en rekonstruktion? Hur kan inlevelse användas för att analysera och förstå det förflutna?Författarna introducerar, aktiverar och provar de två begreppen i olika undersökningssituationer. Här beskrivs och analyseras hur byggnader, fö

Hur formar vi framtiden och hur lär vi oss av historien? Vilken roll spelar konsten i ett framtida samhälle, hur fungerar framsynthet inom ekonomi och juridik, och hur kan framtidens komplexa forskningsresultat förmedlas och spridas till samhället utanför akademin?LU Futura var Lunds universitets tvärvetenskapliga tankesmedja för framtidsfrågor 2018 2021. Framtidskompasser är projektets slutpunkt,

Binary mixture of ammonia (NH3) and dimethyl ether (DME) has been considered in literature as a potential fuel for practical use. Nitric oxide (NO) is a major product of combustion of NH3-containing fuels, and its formation routes have to be comprehensively studied. In this work, concentration profiles of NO were experimentally measured in laminar axisymmetric flames using planar laser-induced flu

In the context of natural hazard risk quantification and modeling of hazard interactions, some literature separates “Level I” (or occurrence) interactions from “Level II” (or consequence) interactions. The Level I interactions occur inherently due to the nature of the hazards, independently of the presence of physical assets. In such cases, one hazard event triggers or modifies the occurrence of a

As it is the case in many European countries, psychosocial disabil-ities have become an important concern in Sweden. Persons withpsychosocial disabilities’ experiences of various societal domainssuch as school, work, family life, leisure activities and contactwith welfare agencies need a complex analysis which takes intoaccount both personal and contextual factors. This article draws on15 intervie

The clinical translation of photosensitizers based on ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complexes (RPCs) in photodynamic therapy of cancer faces several challenges. To address these limitations, we conducted an investigation to assess the potential of a cubosome formulation stabilized in water against coalescence utilizing a polyphosphoester analog of Pluronic F127 as a stabilizer and loaded with newly sy

Ensuring the reliability of railway transportation is heavily dependent on the quality of its infrastructure. In this regard, renewal and maintenance of the railway track infrastructure, referred to as trackwork, play a vital role. However, trackwork execution requires temporary capacity restrictions for train traffic. Therefore, harmonising the train and maintenance schedules is critical but chal

By the adoption of the United Nation Convention on the Rights of Personswith Disabilities, many countries have committed to providing conditionsfor persons with disabilities to actively participate in the community. Thisarticle explores the meaning of active citizenship for persons withpsychosocial disabilities and focuses in particular on the role of thestate. Illustrated with examples from Swede

Dendrometers offer valuable insights into how tree growth responds to climatic variables and physiological processes over the course of a year. Yet, their applicability to extremely slow-growing trees, such as those in peatlands, has been limited due to the intricate and slow nature of growth, therefore rendering interpretation of results complex. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive monito
