In this article we build on the concept of incompleteness, as recently developed in both organisational and urban studies, to improve our understanding of the collective actions of grassroots organisations in creating and governing critical infrastructures in the changing and resource-scarce contexts of urban informal settlements. Empirically, the article is informed by the case of resident associ
Growing global demand for extractive resources, such as metals and minerals, particularly to produce low-carbon products, requires international society to develop effective global governance mechanisms to mitigate some of the environmentally and socially negative impacts of mining operations beyond national borders. Since early 2000, several transnational extractive governance initiatives (TEGI)
Objectives To examine the association between cultural attendance and all-cause mortality. Design A longitudinal cohort study over 36 years (1982-2017) with three 8-year interval measurements of exposure (1982/1983, 1990/1991 and 1998/1999) to cultural attendance and a follow-up period to 31 December 2017. Setting Sweden. Participants The study included 3311 randomly selected individuals from the
The international UN Climate Change conferences known as “Conferences of the Parties (COPs)” have an enormous convening power and are attended annually by tens of thousands of actors working on climate change topics from a wide range of perspectives. In the COP spaces outside of the formal negotiations, the communication culture is dominated by “side events,” a format that relies heavily on conven
Telomeres are the conservative sequence repeats located at the end of linear chromosomes that have been the focus of intensive research across many disciplines over the last four decades. They function as a cap to protect the chromosome ends from fusion to other chromosomes and to prevent chromosome degradation. Telomere shortening is thought to be involved in ageing, reflecting or even causing ag
Previous research has identified good communication as one of several key factors essential for destination resilience. However, there has been a lack of research on how communication contributes to this development. To address this gap, this study explores the communication work done by Destination Management Organizations (DMOs) with stakeholders to influence destination resilience. The study ex
Objective: To describe a retroperitoneal transient occlusion of the uterine or internal iliac artery in conjunction with a high-risk evacuation of products of conception. The procedure was performed vaginally, minimally invasively, via vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery. Design: Description of the surgical technique using original video footage. This study was exempted from re
In a seminar room at LUX, one of the buildings of the Joint Faculties of Humanities and Theology, a group of PhD students and senior scholars are in deep concentration in front of their computers. It is pin-drop silent in the room until the alarm goes off and everyone starts moving and talking. This is the writing group, an informal and voluntary way of working together in
Disasters and crises are increasingly seen as opportunities for transformation of the tourism system at various scales. From a resilience perspective, crises and disasters may act as trigger events for system change, sometimes described as the “disaster-reform hypothesis”. An integrative framework informed by different fields is used to analyse the destination development pathways following the Ka
Sustainable development lies at the heart of sustainable entrepreneurship. In the context of this view, the current paper explores the linkages among sustainable development, entrepreneurship, and innovation. Since Gujarat ranks among the five top Indian states in terms of renewable energy (RE) potential, we studied this sector using a case study approach. The study explores factors that affects t
Despite the environmental and health importance of tourist walking, specific research on walking and tourism is limited, with walking in leisure and work contexts often being used as a proxy. To fill this gap, this study identifies the effects of perception of air quality and mitigating climate change on attachment to walking relevant to walkable places and subjective well-being, along with compar
Several suggestions have been made as to why Sweden's approach to managing the COVID-19 pandemic came to rely on a strategy based on voluntary measures. Two of the most prominent explanations for why the country chose a different strategy than many other countries have focused on micro- and macro-level factors, explaining the strategy either in terms of the psychologies of prominent actors or by p
Mental health assessments increasingly rely on remote formats that produce rich but complex multimodal data in the form of text, audio, and video, processed through multiple machine learning models. While these environments offer new opportunities for insight, they also pose significant challenges for effective clinical sensemaking. This study introduces a dashboard designed to address these chall
The thesis explores the migration experiences of Syrian refugees who arrived in Sweden and Denmark by crossing the Mediterranean Sea in small, precarious boats. It aims to illuminate how these refugees managed the risks they faced during their journey to Europe and the meanings they associated with these risks. The research focuses on the socio-cultural and individual contexts within which risk is
Denna avhandling undersöker styrningen av koldioxidavskiljning och -lagring (CCS) i den nuvarande fasen av policydriven implementering inom europeisk klimatpolitik. Min forskning placeras i mellan etablerad kritik av CCS och dess framväxande, centrala roll i bindande nettonollstrategier. Jag intar en kritiskt pragmatisk hållning som erkänner att CCS är en omtvistad teknik som innebär risker för inThis thesis examines the governance of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology in its current phase of policy-driven deployment within European climate policy. Positioned in the gap between established critique of CCS and its newly central role in binding net-zero strategies, my research adopts a critical-pragmatic stance to acknowledge that CCS is a contentious technology embodying risks of c
This study investigates the individual usage of the Dublin Core metadata format in three Swedish Subject Based Information Gateways, SAFARI, Svenska miljönätet and Svesök. The authors also present the reader with an overview of the metadata concept and explains in particular the Dublin Core Element Set. The approach to the study is investigation of Dublin Core application from the viewpoint of thr
