The Lund University Urban Arena is organising a workshop on the topic of ‘Urban Visions and Challenges’. During the full-day workshop you will meet a range of eminent speakers representing academia and experts in governance and planning. They will provide us with interesting and challenging presentations, discussions and visions on urban development for sustainability. Key questions will include:

Citizen collaboration is essential to tackling global sustainability issues. People have different motivations for participating. However, there is a lack of studies on citizen motivations for participating in local sustainability initiatives. To address this gap, the present study looked into the motivations of the residents of the Sege Park neighbourhood in Malmö, Sweden. The study interviewed n

Capsule The majority of Robins in Iberia are sedentary and stay in their nesting areas despite the pre- sumed increased competition that results from the seasonal flooding of the area by conspecific migrants. Aims To evaluate if Robins in Iberia are displaced from their nesting areas by the presence of large num- bers of competitors originating from higher latitudes. Methods Data from constant eff

We investigate proton self-dynamics in the acceptor-doped and hydrated proton-conducting perovskite-type oxides BaInxZr1-xO3-x/2 (x = 0.10 and 0.50) on a microscopic length scale for temperatures in the range 470-525 K, using neutron spin-echo spectroscopy. For the highly doped material (x = 0.50), we observe a wide range of translational diffusional rates of the protons in the Structure, oil the

Several studies have shown that the autonomic nervous system (ANS) can induce changes during atrial fibrillation (AF). There is currently a lack of methods for quantifying ANS induced variations during AF. The purpose of this study is to quantify respiratory induced modulation in the f-wave frequency trend. Following qrst-cancellation, the local f-wave frequency is estimated by fitting a harmonic

This study investigated the quality and availability of environmental education (EE) in Dhading Besi, Nepal. Focus was placed on the cultivation of students’ agency and their participation in environmental actions. Interviews were conducted jointly at two local high schools with students and teachers, and with climate science researchers and local environmental NGOs. The study found that current e

The amount of installed wind power varies significantly across municipalities although the financial support for wind power production and the technology available is identical in all Swedish municipalities. This study analyses how local differences between municipalities, such as local wind prerequisites and socioeconomic conditions, might explain the establishment of wind power. The analysis is

The sub-cell-fix (SCF) method proposed by Russo and Smereka(3) computes the distance function of the cells adjacent to the zero level-set without disturbing the original zero level-set. A modified sub-cell-fix scheme independent of local curvature is developed in this paper, which makes use of a combination of the points adjacent to zero level-set surfaces and preserves the interface in a second-o

The study evolves around the emergence of a gender awareness in the Kenyan political consciousness, as a consequence of the adoption of the alternative development discourse, promoting values like equal participation and empowerment. My task has been to determine the outcome of local development initiatives in terms of women's empowerment and then relate the findings to theories on discursive

The outbreak of COVID-19 plunged the world economy into a pandemic with severe consequences. However, the pandemic may very well have been a blessing in disguise for the mitigation of another killer: ambient air pollution. This study investigates how the COVID-19 lockdown restrictions in India affected the ambient air pollution concentrations in a sample of Indian cities. Based on air pollution da

Inhemsk mikroalg skapar hållbarhet genom kombination av produktion och vattenrening Genom att använda snabbväxande mikroalger i avloppsvatten för produktion av biomassa har vattnet renats och det enda som tillsätts är solljus och koldioxid. Denna metod möjliggör hållbar produktion av en rad produkter, däribland biobränslen, samtidigt som samhällstjänster såsom vatten- och luftrening utförs på köp

In this study we investigate different parameters used for mapping global flame structures and identify the most universal in terms of comparing flames emerging from different geometrical burner arrangements. Simultaneously the study was carried out to determine the discharge conditions yielding the blue flame of a high degree of partial premixing, and to examine the instantaneous local flame stru

Resilience has been raised as a core task within disaster risk reduction frameworks, yet it remains difficult to implement these global ideas in local communities. This study used Community Based Resilience Analysis Approach to investigate the components that are perceived as important in resilience and the extent to which these components have been achieved. It explored the trend of resilience an

Sweden is considered an environmental sustainability pioneer, targeting a 50% reduction in energy use in buildings by 2050. This ambitious goal requires the active engagement of municipal actors and the building sector. Dialogue processes have been identified as a way to mobilize such engagement, but in earlier research, there has been a lack of studies where dialogue practices are analyzed in rea

In this study, the heat and mass transport characteristics of anode-supported solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are numerically investigated by using a two-dimensional model. The mathematical model is validated by comparing the numerical results with experimental data found in the open literature. The species and temperature distributions of SOFCs at different cell voltages are presented and compared

Though new goals for sustainable cities and transport systems have been developed, decisions and planning at a local level often fail to achieve these ambitions. The purpose of this article is to analyse the factors in local decision-making and planning practice that conduce to urban sprawl and increased car traffic. The article analyses how the conscious application of so-called "day-to-day decis

Objective: To evaluate a simple working procedure for recording postoperative complications. Design: Prospective cohort study. Setting: Teaching hospital, Denmark. Subjects: 218 of 312 patients who were operated on from March to July 1996. Interventions: Follow up 30 days after operation by looking up the local register of complications, review of medical records and by structured telephone interv

Animal colouration is often a trade-off between background matching for camouflage from predators, and conspicuousness for communication with con- or heterospecifics. Stomatopods are marine crustaceans known to use colour signals during courtship and contests, while their overall body colouration may provide camouflage. However, we have little understanding of how stomatopods perceive these signal

This paper provides a simplified method of exploring the geographical limits of a knowledge shock over the long run. Using a geographically decomposable distance weighed sum of world GDPs by county, differences in differences regression analysis shows that a new university will not only have a positive impact on the local economy, but also on the GDP of nearby counties. Furthermore, challenging th
