The dominant narratives on how to confront climate change are often presented as neutral proposals concerned with the well-being of the planet and its inhabitants. The main objective of this article is to exemplify how concepts like Ecological Modernization and Sustainable Development are used in the name of energy transitions to prolong illegal military occupations in two territories, namely occu

Seismic tomography is a new geophysical technique being developed to meet the needs of mining and engineering projects. Attenuation tomography, as one kind of seismic tomography technique, is a powerful prospecting tool for determining structure defaults such as fault, broken zone, and hidden voids, but it has been little discussed up to now. Its principle and applications are presented in detail.

While broad evidence has been generated on the forces leading to divergent regional industrial path development, we still do not fully understand how initial structural differences between regions are dynamically attenuated in industrial path development processes. In other words, the cumulative causation processes instigating such differences are not well explored. In this paper, a process model

Abstract in French:Cet article contribue à la recherche sur la géopolitique urbaine par une théorisation « extrospective » du pouvoir local sur la scène internationale – c’est-à-dire une orientation du développement socio-économique qui encourage tant la concurrence que la coopération entre les entités métropolitaines au-delà des frontières de l’État-nation. Empiriquement, l’article se concentre sThis article contributes to research on urban geopolitics through an extrospective theorization of local territorial influence on the international stage. Empirically, the article focuses on a comparative study of extrospective development initiatives from Malaga (Spain) and Mazara del Vallo (Sicily) that have recently emerged in response to the effects of the Great Recession. We examine the symbo

We report on the use of extreme ultraviolet (XUV, 30.3 nm) radiation from the Free-electronLASer in Hamburg (FLASH) and visible (Vis, 405 nm) photons from an optical laser toinvestigate the relaxation and fragmentation dynamics of fluorene ions. The ultrashort laserpulses allow to resolve the molecular processes occurring on the femtosecond timescales.Fluorene is a prototypical small polycyclic ar

The highly increased food prices in 2022–2023 are one of many crises that have and will affect different parts of the world on local bases. This prompts the need to strengthen resilience for humans to ease the negative effects and be able to bounce back from these critical events. Urban agriculture could be a way. Using the Swedish municipality of Malmö as a case study, the aim of this thesis is t

The aim of this study was to gain knowledge about which self-care strategies are used by health care counselors who work with patients in crisis or patients who have experienced trauma. To do so there was also a need to gain knowledge about stressful or emotional challenges the health care counselors experience in the daily work. The method used was a case study with semi-structured interviews. Si

Inside the Swedish National Board of Institutional Care (SNBIC) are juveniles who are receiving treatment from pedagogues and assistants that are frequently threatening their caregivers. The threats consist of physical and verbal behavior. This type of working environment can be very bad for one's well being. The study focuses on investigating how the staff's well-being is affected by work
