This volume engages with the alarming convergence of far right thinking and the ecological crisis in contemporary society. Growing out of the first international conference on political ecologies of the far right, the volume gathers crucial insights from authorities in the field as well as promising early career researchers. With cases ranging from ethnographical accounts of fossil fuel populist p
This chapter unpacks the complex and contested nature of ‘irregular labour migration’ and explores the meaning and analytical rigour of this conceptualisation. We discuss four social positions: 1) authorised migrant regular worker, 2) authorised migrant irregular worker, 3) unauthorised migrant irregular worker and 4) unauthorised migrant regular worker. Using the distinctions between informalisat
This paper aims to explore how four Bolivian small and medium-sized enterprises’ business has overcome the gaps in reliance on traditional small and medium-sized enterprises’ business models, i.e., to extract and sell raw unrefined natural resources in a local area, and instead make productive use of innovation inputs (technology, higher-educated people) by innovating their business models. We wer
This paper showcases new research avenues made possible by applying computational methods to historical isiXhosa text. I outline a method for isiXhosa computational text analysis which adapts word frequency analysis to be applied to isiXhosa texts focusing on root words. The paper showcases the value of the approach in a study of emerging political identities in early African nationalism, examinin
Recent research has identified the grasslands of the Sahel as a potential carbon sink, but regional carbon stock accounting in such biomes is undermined by the poorly recognized role they play in the carbon cycle as well as lack of data. In this paper, we demonstrate the feasibility of coupling the satellite data-driven light use efficiency model (Lund University Light Use Efficiency Model - LULUE
Studies of nanoconfined circular DNA are of interest both from a biological as well as a fundamental polymer physics perspective. We here present the use of nanofluidic channels as a tool for comparing statics and dynamics of the linear and circular configuration of the same DNA molecule.
Programmable optical circuits form a key part of quantum technologies today. As the size of such circuits is increased, maintaining precise control over every individual component becomes challenging. Here we show how embedding an optical circuit in the higher-dimensional space of a large mode-mixer allows us to forgo control over individual elements, while retaining a high degree of programmabili
Background: Family members play a crucial role in supporting women with breast cancer during their recovery. In the complex situation of being an informal caregiver, their own health and ability to support the patient needs to be acknowledged. The aim was to explore the experiences, needs and roles of family members throughout the rehabilitation process of women with breast cancer. Methods: A qual
BACKGROUND: Access to adequate pain treatment is a fundamental right, yet international data suggest that a considerable number of children experience acute and persistent pain. Little is known about the occurrence of both acute and persistent pain in children. The incidence of persistent postoperative pain in children is an unexplored area but international studies suggest that many children expe
In Thinking Like a Climate: Governing a City in Times of Environmental Change, Hannah Knox offers a new ethnographic study of the local dynamics of climate change, focusing on the city of Manchester. This detailed analysis of local climate politics illustrates the need for a wholesale reconfiguration of how we think about human-nature relations and act collectively to make the world a better place
Little is known about pediatric surgical disease in resource-poor countries. This study documents the surgical care of children in central Haiti and demonstrates the influence of the 2010 earthquake on pediatric surgical delivery. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective review of operations performed at Partners in Health/Zanmi Lasante hospitals in central Haiti. RESULTS: Of 2,057 operations p
Summary Sweden has repeatedly been criticized by the UN for not following international human rights law for indigenous peoples, in the case of Sweden, the Saami. The criticism include the Saami people's lack of influence on decisions affecting them. The mining industry is considered to be a major problem because of its big impact on the Saami culture and the swedish mineral-law gets critic be
Uppsatsen utreder om rättsläget avseende begreppet ”sexuell handling som med hänsyn till kränkningens allvar är jämförlig med samlag” i 6 kap. 1 § 1 st. BrB är tydligt. Frågan är relevant eftersom begreppet utgör gränsdragningsrekvisitet mellan våldtäkt och andra sexualbrott och mellan våldtäkt och andra brott mot person. Lagstiftaren har medvetet utformat ett vagt gränsdragningsrekvisit med ett v
Effekter av träning i fastande tillstånd Den tydligaste effekten av uthållighetsträning är förbättrad kondition. Ordet kondition kan definieras som samspelet mellan lungor, hjärta, blod och muskler. Lungorna ska växla syrgas från inandningsluften och släppa ut koldioxid. Hjärtat ska pumpa blod till lungorna och ut i kroppen. Blodets uppgift är att syresätta musklerna vid fysisk ansträngning. Allt
De särskilda reglerna för beskattning av utdelning och kapitalvinst på kvalifi-cerade andelar, även känt som 3:12-regelverket har sedan dess införande an-setts vara en särskilt komplex beståndsdel av svensk skattelagstiftning. I syfte att förenkla och förbättra dessa regler för delägare av kvalificerade andelar presenterade ”Kommittén om förenklad beskattning av ägare till fåmansföre-tag” betänkanThe special rules for the taxation of dividends and capital gains on qualified shares, also known as the 3:12-framework have since its introduction been regarded as a particularly complex area of Swedish tax legislation. With the aim to both simplify and improve the regulatory framework for shareholders of qualified shares, ”Kommittén om förenklad beskattning av ägare till få-mansföretag” presente
Automated information flow is an important way of optimizing the time used for analyzing processes. Other added benefits are that in a well-made automated system, the probability of human error diminishes because less liability is put on the person to manually transport and utilize the data. This notion of automation can be applied to the field of chromatography. This thesis investigates the poss
This study investigates whether event construal of placement events varies between Mandarin Chinese and German speakers by comparing how native speakers of the respective languages speak and gesture about placement events. It has been argued that there are universal constraints on how languages encode placement events. However, languages arguably differ in their semantic divisions of placement eve
Syfte Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur ett byggprojekts riskhantering kan användas med BIM. Studien skall undersöka vilka behov dagens riskhantering har av BIM-baserad metodik och ange de lösningar som finns att tillgå i dagsläget. Genom att identifiera och kartlägga metoder för riskhantering, både med och utan BIM, kan en analys göras om vilka metoder som kan effektivisera riskhanteringen.
