Alternative fuels for combustion engines are becoming increasingly popular as society is pushing to phase out fossil energy to reduce CO2 emissions. The compression ignition (CI) engine has a high overall efficiency which makes it a valuable option for the transport fleet, despite the well known NOx and soot pollutants it emits. These two pollutants are emitted due to a combination of high local c

The paper investigates the phenomenon of double exploitation in ’passionate work’, where workers are exploiting themselves in their dedication to work and colleagues, simultaneously as being exposed to exploitation by employers and the industry at large. The study is based on an analysis of semi-structured interviews with game developers employed in the Swedish digital games industry.

In previous years, substantial research has focused on walkability, primarily examining how the built environment affects walking behavior. However, these studies have predominantly defined walkability through physical and social factors, with limited exploration of its spatial dimension. This article seeks to address this gap by examining the spatiality of walkability through Lefebvre’s spatial tIn previous years, substantial research has focused on walkability, primarily examining how the built environment affects walking behavior.

A perpetual series of terror attacks have caused the European Union to shake in its foundations. In the face of the escalating transnational threat of terrorism, decision-makers, under severe public pressure, have repeatedly called for deeper international intelligence cooperation. A bold idea currently being debated is the establishment of a new European Intelligence Unit (EIU) in the field of co

This study examines the burgeoning patterns of the phenomenon of new-build gentrification. This phenomenon reflects a social justice imbalance, where affluence takes precedence over equitable access and the interests of economically vulnerable groups, in shaping urban spaces. While economic and environmental sustainability have been prioritized in urbanization goals, the social dimensions, includi

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, a major health insurance overhaul, was signed into law on March 23, 2010.

Restoring cultivated peatlands has become a silver bullet in climate change mitigation policies globally due to peatlands’ potentials to sequester carbon. In Denmark, carbon is the focal point for such interventions but simultaneously conspicuous by its absence in local restoration efforts. Scientific abstractions render carbon visible through maps and models presenting soil’s carbon content, emis

The campaign grew into a modern popular movement, which in Sweden evolved into an appeal against sexual harassment at work
