This is a review of Brett M. Frischmann's "Infrastructure : the social value of shared resources" (2012). It is a rich book that neither ducks from challenging the disciplinary boundaries of economic theory nor from complex issues of spillover effects or hard-to-measure externalitites. Frischmann’s contribution includes the grand task of comparing and analysing the very much different types of inf

The course covers the emergence of Christianity, rabbinic Judaism and Islam, focusing in particular on the role that interaction between them has played for their respective formation and development. We will study the major developments and concepts within each tradition during its formative period, addressing in particular the complex identity formation processes—from the “partings of the ways” The course covers the emergence of Christianity, rabbinic Judaism and Islam, focusing in particular on the role that interaction between them has played for their respective formation and development.

Recent studies have shown the discriminatory and patriarchal nature of personal status laws in Lebanon (Geagea et al. 2015; Mikdashi 2018b). Stories abound of women losing custody of their children due to laws that favor paternal custody and of couples pursuing civil marriages abroad to avoid being subject to religious courts in Lebanon (Abillama 2018). Literature on the subject has focused on the

Recording from seminar 23 April 2025 Risks and Benefits of AI in Research: Ethical Perspectives" provides a forum to examine how artificial intelligence is transforming the research landscape.  It explores AI's potential to unlock new frontiers of knowledge, while addressing risks such as bias, misuse of data, and erosion of trust. Ethical perspectives guide discussions on accountability, transpar

The collection examines the view of the holiness in the "Holy Land" through the writings of pilgrims, travelers, and missionaries. The period extends from 1517, the Ottoman conquest of Syria and Palestine, to the Franco-British treaty of Utrecht in 1713 and the consolidation of European hegemony over the Mediterranean. The writers in the collection include Christians (Orthodox, Protestant, and Cat

In the course we will discuss the broad field of gender studies and the central issues, key concepts and analytical tools in the current debates regarding inequalities, diversities and social change relevant for sustainability. The course draws on global, regional and local empirical examples to illustrate issues of how gender and sustainability interact. We will analyse similarities, differences

Efter en introduktion till skillnaderna mellan webbskrapning och Application Programming Interfaces (API) lär sig studenten de grundläggande metoderna för att samla in data. Begränsningar för vilka typer av data som kan erhållas genom dessa metoder diskuteras ocksåAfter an introduction to the differences between approaches to web scraping, the student will learn to apply basic web scraping methods for collecting data. Limitations to what types of data are obtainable through these methods are also discussed.

Varje år orsakar luftföroreningar 7 miljoner dödsfall globalt. Klimatet både värms och kyls av luftföroreningar, vilket gör dem till en av de största osäkerhetsfaktorerna i klimatmodeller. Den gröna omställningen och vår strävan efter cirkulär ekonomi kommer innebära att några luftföroreningskällor försvinner, men också att nya kommer att introduceras. Dessa komplexa problem behöver angripas transEvery year, 7 million people die due to exposure to air pollution. Air pollution both heats and cools global temperatures, hence it is one of the major reasons for uncertainties in climate models. The green transition and our aim for a circular economy will remove some of our current air pollution sources but introduce new ones. These complex questions demand a transdisciplinary approach. This cou

The global industrial sector is a highly polluting and greenhouse gas-emitting sector. As industries increasingly explore Artificial Intelligence (AI) to enhance operational efficiency and drive innovation, questions emerge regarding its alignment with sustainability objectives. While AI is often positioned as a key enabler of digital transformation, its sustainable integration into industrial ope

SUSTAINABILITY is increasingly framed as a task to be solved in and through cities, not least by planning and designing built environments that ‘nudges’ individuals towards sustainable ways of living. Realising visions of a sustainable urban future is thus at least partially dependent upon affecting individual and collective behaviors. So, what happens when coherent visions of sustainable urban de
