När infrastruktur leder till fördrivning av idrottare: en analys av utrednings- och beslutsprocesserna för Lunds nya sjukhus

Navigating conflicting interests in regards to land usage is an essential task in the field of urban planning. When the planner's task changes however to become a job of identifying the best available central location for new large scale infrastructure, the navigating instead turns into a question of who is to be displaced. This study examines a case study in Lund, Sweden, where a new generati

A pluriverse case study of indigenous resistance among the Nasa people in northeast Cauca, Abya Yala

Against a backdrop of social and political crises, the indigenous Nasa peoples from north and eastern Cauca engage in a strategy of resistance, which I argue is blossoming into an example of the pluriverse. Pluriversal politics revolve around the imperative and the options for alternatives to development which transform global hegemonic systems. Through a reflexive and attempted decolonial methodo

Rättvisa i rörelse : En analys av Malmö stads strategier för ett jämlikt transportsystem

The city of Malmö in southern Sweden has long argued and presented itself as a city of tomorrow and a city for everyone. The city often shows itself as a modern city with a focus on modern technology. One of the ways Malmö wishes to present itself as a leading city is through the development of the city’s infrastructure and mobility. The city has lofty goals focused on bringing democracy to the sp

Narratives Behind Numbers - A Narrative Research on Forced Displacement from the State of Khartoum During the First Year of War in Sudan

The world has witnessed different forms of conflict and wars throughout history, resulting in unprecedented suffering for countless people (Danjibo and Akinkuotu, 2019). As of the end of 2023 conflicts, war, violence, human rights violations, and other events disturbing public order have resulted in an estimated 110 million people being displaced from their homes (UNHCR, 2023). This study uses an

Criminal networks in Sweden and children’s right to protection from violence

This thesis examines the ongoing violent situation with the criminal networks in Sweden, what the obligations under article 19 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child entail and to what extent the measures taken by the Swedish government live up to these obligations. Many children today are in various ways being affected by the gang-related violence, especially those who live in the vulner

Long-Term Oxygen Therapy for 24 or 15 Hours per Day in Severe Hypoxemia

BACKGROUND: Long-term oxygen supplementation for at least 15 hours per day prolongs survival among patients with severe hypoxemia. On the basis of a nonrandomized comparison, long-term oxygen therapy has been recommended to be used for 24 hours per day, a more burdensome regimen.METHODS: To test the hypothesis that long-term oxygen therapy used for 24 hours per day does not result in a lower risk

The ‘Sustainable Energy Concept’ - making sense of norms and co-evolution within a large research facility's energy strategy

The analysis presents an evolving ‘Energy Concept’ and strategy at an energy-intensive research facility in order to contribute understanding of how organisations may implement renewable energies and improve energy efficiency whilst also delivering broader socio-economic benefits. A framework is developed that infuses institutional perspectives with a micro level view. It facilitates positioning o

Renewal of forest-based manufacturing towards a sustainable circular bioeconomy.

Environmental problems, combined with European Union environmental and energy policies shaped to address them, have created pressures for change. Some of these open significant opportunities to renew industries. This report delivers new understanding of the potential of circular economy for sustainable renewal of manufacturing in bio-based industries. With particular focus on novel value chains, i

Systemic Constraints and Drivers for Production of Forest-Derived Transport Biofuels in Sweden - Part A: REPORT and Part B: CASE STUDIES : Report from f3 project: P38116-1 Analys av systembarriärer för produktion av skogsbaserade drivmedel September 2016 (Final Report)).

Diversification of forest industry activites into transport fuels is important for Swedish climate and energy policy goal achievement, and biofuel proponents also claim that it is important for Swedish forest industry competitiveness. There is significant ongoing research effort on biofuels for road transport and extensive experimentation on several technical platforms has been conducted. These di

Briefing Paper: Exploring Renewable Hydrogen for Tasmania

In this short Briefing Paper we consider a number of issues in response to the Draft Tasmanian Renewable Hydrogen Action Plan, published November 2019. Our research team has been exploring the potential role renewable hydrogen could play in bolstering Australia’s and Tasmania’s energy autonomy and energy security. We are a social science research team, comprising expertise in law, industrial econo

SOCIO-ECONOMIC METRICS FOR TRANSPORT BIOFUELS: A REVIEW

This report is a synthesis analysis to a project that has been carried out within the collaborative research program Renewable transportation fuels and systems (Förnybara drivmedel och system), Project no. 40771-1, Environmental and Socio-Economic Benefits from Swedish Biofuel Produc- tion. The project has been financed by the Swedish Energy Agency and f3 – Swedish Knowledge Centre for Renewable T

Experimenting with Business Models for Sustainable Value-creation in Established Firms

This work is to extend studies of business model (BM) experimentation for sustainable value creation using three cases; here incumbent firms apply resources/networks in pursuit of sustainability-oriented BMs via corporate entrepreneurship. A focus query is: How do organisations apply experimentation to learn, signal and convince key resource holders to engage with shifts (from incumbent BMs) to mo

The Courtyard Toolbox

In central Budapest, when the city of Pest was developing, urban policy led to small plots built on all four sides mak- ing up the larger neighborhood block structures. Each small lot was centered around its even smaller courtyard, lead- ing to a myriad of small open spaces with little sunlight or activity. Many of these plots today have fallen into disrepair, becoming parking lots or unused p

An In Vitro Assay : To Evaluate the Functional Roles of Peroxisomes in Normal Hematopoiesis

Hematopoiesis refers to the formation of mature blood cells, a process driven by hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in the bone marrow. These rare cells are characterized by their long-term self-renewal and multilineage differentiation potential, enabling the maintenance and reconstitution of the hematopoietic system. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are key regulators of normal hematopoiesis, and perox

Restructuring of Ag catalysts for methanol to formaldehyde conversion studied using in situ X-ray ptychography and electron microscopy

Dynamic restructuring of silver catalysts during the industrial conversion of methanol to formaldehyde leads to surface faceting and pinhole formation. Subsequent sintering under reaction conditions, followed by increased pressure drop and decreased catalyst activity requires catalyst bed replacement after several months of operation. This necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the bulk cat

Diagnostic tools for the unduator system of the seeded HGHG-FEL at MAX-Lab.

Within a collaboration between MAX-lab and BESSY a one stage seeded HGHG-FEL has been set up at Maxlab. BESSY has built the undulator system consisting of a modulator, a radiator and an electromagnetic chicane. BESSY has also installed three types of diagnostic tools: optical fibres for a fast Cherenkov beam loss detection, optical fibres for absolute dose measurements via their radiation-induced
